Re: Error with Bluetooth Stack driver on Protege Z830

Error during installation of Bluetooth Stack for Windows 7 (15/05/12 version) : first driver "Bluetooth USB controller-10" installed correctly but second one "Bluetooth RFBUS" fails.
Consequently Bluetooth does not work. PC says it is not activated (with Fn+F8 or running Bluetooth paramater)
Nota : the Atheros driver is up to date. I have tried with and without the Bluetooth Driver Filter Package 1.0.9.
What should I do ?
Thanks !
PS : Protege Z830 PT224E with windows 7 64 bits

Oh, c'mon, folks, don't be so skeptical when someone reports a problem. What does it matter the reasons we can have reinstalling the bluetooth stack?
The fact is that THERE IS an issue with it. I'm also experiencing this problem the last OFFICIAL update. And I'm using only software provided by the Toshiba drivers download webpage, therefore it SHOULD work, as approved by Toshiba. (Model z830-10F, shipping the Atheros hardware)
When installing the new stack, the Bluetooth RFBUS (driver 8.0.2005.0) shows the typical yellow icon, and the device status reports "this device cannot start (code 10)". You all know how very useful are codes in Windows, don't you? :D
If I try to install any other driver for the RFBUS (from Atheros website for example) it fails saying I have already the latest driver. I've tried installing the Toshiba provided bluetooth stack with and without bluetooth activated in the BIOS, and it makes no difference: the install process gets stuck at some point, and it goes no further, no matter how much I wait.
Then of course I have to kill the process, after which, obviously the install doesn't work properly. Some suggestions about this?
A piece of information which might be interesting: when installing the stack, if I watch closely the device manager, there is a moment when the RFBUS appears and shows up with no problem, but then a moment later in the install process it shows the yellow icon.
Please, no replies like: "reinstall Windows from recovery partition", or "use previous bluetooth stack version". We're too grown up for that, aren't we? ;) Unless, of course, someone can tell me how or where to get the previous stack.
Thanks.

  • Bluetooth Stack driver Install problem

    I have X205-9800 labtop. I recently try to update with Bluetooth Stack for Windows Vista (v6.10.02T; 03-03-2008; 60M) from older Bluetooth Stack for Windows Vista (v5.10.06T_20070314; 05-17-2007; 27M).
    Big problems! First installation threw a box with number 1158 and ok button. When you press ok, installation stops. Then the trouble begins. No Bluetooth. Computer can't see bluetooth and other bluetooth devices can't see it. Only way to get back to normal operation is to reinstall Bluetooth Stack for Windows Vista (v5.10.06T_20070314; 05-17-2007; 27M).
    I don't necessarily need to update my bluetooth driver. However, I thought that updated driver is there for reasons like improvements and correction. Anyone encountered same issue and any solutions? Thanks

    It's a mystery to me why Toshiba changes versions like that without any explanation.

  • Satellite P750: Unable to install Bluetooth Stack driver on Windows 7 (x64)

    Hello.
    I own a *Satellite P750-02T* (Part no. *PSAY3A-02T001*).
    In the order what I did:
    1) I formatted its HDD and reinstalled OS to *Windows 7 x64 Ultimate SP1*.
    Then I downloaded *ONLY BIOS and the drivers* from [its Downloads page|http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/p750/psay3a-02t001/download?os=25] :
    2) I updated its BIOS to *v1.90* (the laptop came with v1.80)
    3) I installed all the drivers:
    - both LAN and WiFi
    - Intel Chipset (latest available)
    - all video drivers (Intel HD Graphics, NVIDIA Graphics, and Intel HDMI)
    - Card Reader
    - Realtek HD Audio (latest)
    - Synaptics Touchpad
    - USB3.0
    - IR
    - TV-Tuner
    However, I'm *unable to install the Bluetooth driver (v8.00.06(T)* )...
    When I run setup from the [above-mentioned page|http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/p750/psay3a-02t001/download?os=25] it partially detects *'Bluetooth USB Controller-10 from TOSHIBA'* (USB\VID_0930&PID_0215&REV_001)
    and then installation simply freezes displaying +'Installing the Bluetooth Driver. Please wait+.' and stays like that forever...
    I also tried downloading a driver from [another location|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/index.php?page=download-toshiba] for TOSHIBA notebooks - v8.00.02(T):
    and followed installation instructions displayed under 'Details'
    but there was the same outcome - the setup simply freezes...
    Installing Hotfix (*KB978258*) recommended there didn't work either - the message '+The update is not applicable to your computer+' pops up.
    And I understand why - this Hotfix is [already included|http://download.microsoft.com/download/E/B/A/EBA55FE2-373A-4351-9346-6D762B79AA69/Updates%20in%20Win7%20and%20WS08R2%20SP1.xls] into Service Pack 1 for MS Windows 7.
    I spent hours searching on the Internet for a solution. Although there were some similar cases none of the recommendations actually worked. I tried installing:
    - WiFi driver before installing Bluetooth (someone suggested that those two are the parts of the same card);
    - resuming installation in Safe Mode;
    - *Toshiba Value Added Package* hoping those tools somehow will kick in.
    Nothing worked...
    It's interesting that when for the sake of experiment I tried to run installation for my generic Bluetooth adapter (using the driver [for non-TOSHIBA notebooks|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/index.php?page=download]) then everything run smoothly!
    *Using Bluetooth connection on this laptop is very crucial for me.*
    I hope I shall not have to return this wonderful notebook as I know TOSHIBA is one of the best manufactures and am sure there is a solution to this problem.
    Thank you very much.
    Evgeny.

  • TM errors with WD Passport drive.

    Hi,
    I've been using a Western Digital 320Gb Passport drive as my Time Machine drive. Lately I have been getting either a 'device removed' type error after starting TM, or TM seems to get 'stuck' at the 'preparing backup' stage of a back up. There is ~228Gb available on the drive and I am using a macbook with OS 10.5.8. Is there a general issue with WD Passport drives and TM? If not, what troubleshooting steps are recommended?
    Thanks.

    I purchased a 500GB USB/Firewire passport drive and couldn't get it to copy a full folder of documents. It kept hanging. I went to their site and found out they have drivers that have to be installed for the drives to work properly. While it did get rid of the problem and made the drive really fast, that means you can't use the drive on a computer that doesn't have the drivers installed. Bummer!

  • 3F0 Error with Good Hard Drive

    OK I just got a No Boot Device Found(3F0) With a hard drive I know works. I was working on a friends computers and switched the hard drives to see if that was their issue which it was. My hard drive booted up fine in their computer. When I put it back in my computer i got a the error from above, and when I put it back in the other computer it still works fine. I did a system restore to yesterday incase there were drivers that were messing things up but the error still exists, any ideas?

    Ok, it is an HDX16t with Windows 7 64-bit OS. I bought it in June 2009, but got it refurbished due to it being dropped in November of 2009. It hasn't been dropped or anything since then. other specs 2.13 GHz processor, 4GB of RAM, 130M GeForce Graphics.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

  • Problems with Bluetooth stack after bootcamp driver installation.

    I have been running Windows Server 2008 in bootcamp without drivers from the Mac OSX installation cd for a few months with everything except soundcard and function keys working - but since I have found that I need sound and the function keys, I decided to install the Bootcamp drivers and all other drivers that my system would recognize and use.
    At this point I should say that ever since I installed Windows Sever 2008, I've been using a mighty mouse wireless on both osx and server 2008, and both have been working perfectly both running natively (in bootcamp or osx) or in virtualization (with vmware fusion on osx).
    After completing said install, I rebooted and found to my horror that my mighty mouse wireless had stopped working. I went into the control panel of server 2008 and found the bluetooth.cpl and proceeded to correctly find the mouse identified as it was setup in osx when I first set it up there. I then tried connecting to it in multiple ways, both by supplying no passphrase, letting it decide it's passphrase or entering one (0000 as some documentations have pointed out). None of these solutions worked, so now I'm stuck with a mouse that works in osx and vmware fusion, and that used to work in server 2008 before I installed Apples provided drivers for their hardware.
    So my question is - have any of you run into this problem on Vista (I'm figuring Vista is closer to server 2008 than XP is, because they share at least some of the same core as far as I know).
    Another thing I've noticed is that I can't make Apple Software Update update Bootcamp to 2.1 - it simply doesn't acknowledge that Bootcamp is installed on Windows, even if I try and force the registering of it with the encluded .exe file in the zip when I download it manually)
    I would really appreciate any sort of help on this problem, as I'm fresh out of ideas as to what I can do about it. The only thing I can think of is that Apple's drivers somehow broke the configuration that was working (in resetting it after reboot), but then the question is: How to make it work again.
    Again: please help, any help is much appreciated.

    Today I installed Vista Ultimate on my new (early 2008) MBP, to find that it killed my Bluetooth on Vista, and also on my OS X partition. Both OS's claim that there is no Bluetooth Hardware attached. It worked after I installed the Drivers, but stopped when I tried to install an Apple BT Keyboard.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I'll begin searching for an answer.
    I did do a Super Duper Clone, before I installed Vista on the Boot Camp partition, but I'm fearful that it may be a hardware issue.
    Cheers Teky

  • Time Machine errors with external hard drive

    This is my first post,
    I've had my MBP for a little over 8 months and came up with an error when i went to go use bootcamp, saying that it could not partition my windows partition cause there is not enough space ( I have like at least 40+ gigs left after i partition it) and it tells me to backup and re-install. So what I wanted to do is do a time machine restore.
    I take my 750GB Western Digital External Drive via Firewire and plug it in, time machine recognizes it and wants to format it as "Mac OS X Extended (Case-Sensitive, Journaled). So I do that and it all goes well.
    After that's all done is basically when all my problems come. My external likes to lock up now and doesn't want to transfer all my files. I will load up the time machine restore and it sometimes will recognize my external and sometimes wont show up. My external will occasionally lock up during the time machine restore process. And all the time when it does actually complete and I restart the computer, it will have most of my things but all my pictures and stuff are missing off it and i go to look in my external and its still all in there but I'm left wondering why it didn't work.
    As another resort i did a fresh re-install of mac os x and tried the migration assistant. It went going to restore it but then comes up with an error saying that it cant transfer the data and tells me to plug in my external when i have it already plugged in.
    Since that didn't work I did another re-install of mac and decided to just start fresh, I still had all my music and other things that I had on my back up and tried putting them on my mac's hard drive and towards the middle and stuff it will come up with an error saying that it could not transfer files anymore and what not.
    So I'm left scratching my head in wonder, because my external will show up on my desktop and I'm able to search files through there ok.
    Could the possible problem be is that time machine partitioned it as journaled and case-sensative while my mac is partitioned as just journaled? Would that cause a conflict of having it locking up and giving me errors?
    This is really the first time I've ever really been able to seriously play around with a mac and am totally lost and don't know what I can be doing wrong.
    The external I have I just got last year not too long ago and it was working great before this.
    I've been trying for the past 3 days straight trying to figure out this problem and have had no luck.
    Please any help would really be appreciated greatly.
    Thanks in advance!!!

    Ok I tried what you said and I failed every time.
    But here is an interesting thing that I just figured out. What I tried was making a folder on the desktop and I went into the time machine backup that I had I went and manually copied the applications, library, system, users, and developer folder thinking that it may work. Well it did for me with all the folders but not the Library folder. I think that it may be the culprit behind it cause it may be corrupt and thats why my stuff will keep locking up.
    I will start copying all the other folders and they work just fine but then i would start to copy the Library folder and it would come up saying preparing to copy to "so and so" folder. well a bit into that it will stop and my external will spin down and stop working, all the other things being copied will stop in their tracks. But when I cancel it and wait a few for it to finally cancel, all my other folders will continue to copy to my desktop to the specified folder. I tried copying the Library folder over and over but same thing happened. It locked my system and my external up.
    I thought all along that I had a bad external drive when i knew it worked well when I first got it.
    So could that be a possibility that there's something in that folder that would completely halt everything when I'm copying? Because I've really never done a fresh reinstall of mac os x when I bought the machine. This backup is the factory install.
    I'm just sitting here right now making sure that these other folders that are copying get done so I know that I can single out the Library folder. And so far so good with all the copying via firewire.

  • 805a01f4 error with updating nokia drive

    Hello, I have bought a new windows 8 phone from Nokia. Every feature which is default with the phone is great and I have no issues with any of them. But when am trying to open the Windows Store to update Nokia drive, am getting the error code with the message "Error Code : 805a01f4 The Store is not available at the moment please try again." I tried to open it many times but all the time I get the same message. I havn't had any problems with every other application update, only with Nokia drive.
    If the microsoft has provided any fix in advance for this error, please let me know about it completely. Thank you.

    That's nor the issue neither the point: It's just the Drive+-app which is causing trouble to update; the other Apps & the store in general are working just fine.
    The point is that Nokia is making big fame on their website by stating that the Drive+-app is a major improvement over other smartphones as they off a complete SatNav-solution for free.
    Customers like me who have fallen for this, are being cheated, because in the end the App doesn't deliver & can't be updated.
    The errorcode doesn't seem to have anything to do with the store, just with the availability of the update. Strange however that we are been presented with the same 'general' error.
    Patience? When I just bought a brandnew car, I guess it won't be considered normal to return to the dealer with complains about the functionality of the steering wheel, & just get the answer: "Yeah, we know, have some patience, we will fix it in the near future. Perhaps...".

  • How to handle ORA-28001 error with JDBC thin driver ?

    Dear reader,
    As you all know, ORACLE returns error ORA-28001 upon a connection attempt when the user's password has expired.
    Handling the error in OCI is quite simple, thanks to the function OCIPasswordChange(). However, I have not been able to find a JAVA equivalent in the Oracle JDBC library.
    I have found a field called oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver.set_new_password_string, and a field oracle.jdbc.OracleConnection.CONNECTION_PROPERTY_SET_NEW_PASSWORD, but I have really no idea on how to use them (if appropriate) so as to allow the user to change his/her password on the fly.
    I greatly appreciate having any advice from anyone who happened to be faced with that problem.
    Best regards.

  • MSI Z77A G43 A2 Error with Bluray SATA Drive

    Hey guys!
    My old Asus P67 motherboard died last week so I bought this board as a replacement. I plugged everything correctly and it seemed to work at first. PC booted fine into windows and I was able to play all my usual games and do my usual stuff.
    After an hour or so I restarted the PC after installing the new chipset driver and LAN + Audio driver. I then got the A2 problem. I get this error code before the BIOS Picture. I googled around and it seems to be a problem with the SSD/HDD connectors or something. I then went about trying to find out which drive was causing it and it was my Bluray SATA Drive. The PC will start fine if I do not connect it, but once I do I cannot get passed the A2 error. I tried running the MSI Live Update 5 software to update my BIOS but it says I have the "latest" version.
    Any thing you guys recommend? The Bluray SATA Drive worked fine on my old motherboard.
    Thanks.

    The SSDs and three other drives? So you are trying to populate all ports? If so try removing one of the other drives and retry.
    Yes. I got too many drives laying around xD. Edit: 1 x SSD Crucial C300 64 GB for OS. 1 X SSD Kingston 240 GB for games. 2 x WD 1 TB Drives for storage. 1 x WD Raptor Drive for other programs.
    About your request, I did this earlier on today when I was trying to find out what was causing the problem. It did not help the issue when I unplugged one of the other SATA Drives. Still would not start while the bluray player was connected.

    I'd like to post just in case someone else stumbles over this problem: I have a late 2011 model MacBook Pro. Some of them are equipped with DVD drives (or rather connectors) that allow 6GB/s (SATA III), others only allow 3GB/s (SATA II). I happen to have one of the SATA III models (check About this Mac > More information > System report > SATA; in my case it says "link speed: 6GB/s").
    When I upgraded my system drive to SSD I chose to go the optibay route - taking out the DVD drive and replacing it with a caddy so I can use my old HDD in it. Unfortunately afterwards I couldn't write or do anything with the HDD. I just got a Finder error -50. I tried formatting but that didn't work and messed up the whole situation. When I tried to delete the partion with disk utility I got an error "Partition failed with error. Wiping volume data to prevent future accidental probing failed." (for German users, so Google's their friend as well: Auf Deutsch heißt diese Fehlermeldung im Festplattendienstprogramm "Das Entfernen der Volumendaten zum Verhindern zukünftiger unbeabsichtigter Überprüfungen ist fehlgeschlagen").
    Changing positions of HDD and SSD appearently is a bad idea because people got beachballs and freezes and all kinds of things. I finally resolved my problem by buying another caddy (=optibay) that was specifically only for SATA 2 (although my system report tells me I could use SATA 3...); in contrast my old caddy was for SATA 3. Voilà, the error is gone and I can write on the HDD just fine again.
    I hope this helps anyone.

    For solution please read my full question.
