default MS bluetooth stack

hey guys,

I was wondering how i can use the default MS bluetooth stack with the toshiba RFBUS in the w3v

thanks

 

Post the 'device ID' of the device, and I'll make an .inf file that should work.

 

hey bug i wanna run the MS BT Stack on my W5 as well its also the toshiba rfbus here is the device ID

BLUETOOTH\0004&0007\0000

Is that what u need in order to make the INF file??

Thanks heaps dude!!!

:asus:

 

Doesn't look quite right. It should be something like: 'USB\VID_xxxx&PID_yyyy'

I don't have the W3N here, so I can't check, but I think the Toshiba driver hid a lot of stuff from Device Manager with the preinstalled stack. It might only show up without any driver installed. I only played around with this when I first got it, and ended up with the latest driver directly from Toshiba.

 

hey bug yea i just got the toshiba stack working with my MS smartphone with activesync over bluetooth so it doesnt really bother me anymore just i used the MS BT stack in the past and it was very good ill see how the toshiba stack stacks up.. heheh

 

wait, i'm lost;
where do i get the drivers? i can't seem to install the toshiba ones without installing its stack.

plus when install the toshiba ones, a bluetooth radio doesn't show up under device manager

 

there's the other device, it appears after i auto install the first USB one:

 

..ok I played around with it a little bit more, and now i got a third device

 

Yay, I figured it out

turns out I had to rewrite the device ID for the first one (the USB CSR thing). for anyone who's wondering how to use the widcomm bt stack (a lot better than the POS toshiba one), Download the stack at

you want "v1.2 - BTW-4.0.1.2101"

1) Open up control panel, go to add / remove programs, and remove the Bluetooth Stack for Toshiba.
2) Reboot, and turn off bluetooth.
3) Extract the Widcomm stack you just downloaded, and double click on "setup" to install.
3a) In the middle of setup, it should tell you that no bluetooth devices were found. Just hit cancel to continue to install without finding a bluetooth device.
4) After installation, right click on "my computer" and go to "properties"
5) Click on the hardware tab, and then click on "device manager"
6) Turn on bluetooth. you should hear a few pings as windows detects the "new" bluetooth hardware. When the "add new hardware" wizard comes out, cancel out of it.
7) Back on device manager, look for a device with a yellow exclaimation point next to it (see my very first thumbnail)
8) Right click on the device and go to propertiies. Click on the details tab.
What you need is the Device Instance ID. It should look something like "USB\VID_xxxx&PID_xxxx\xxxxxxxxxxxx" You only need the "USB\VID_xxxx&PID_xxxx\" part.
9) Open up the folder where you extacted your Widcomm stack to, and open the file "btwusb.inf" using notepad.
10) Hit control F and search for "[WIDCOMM]"
11) Under the entry for "Widcomm" you should see things like "%BRCM2045.DeviceDesc%=SUSPENDUSB, USB\VID_0A5C&PID_2101" Insert a line somewhere in there that says "Toshiba Bluetooth=BTWUSB, USB\VID_xxxx&PID_xxxx; Toshiba" without the quotes. xxxx should be the values for your VID and PID ID that you got off device manager eariler.
12) Save changes and switch back to device manager.
13) Right click on your device with the exclimation next to it, and go to update driver
14) Select "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)" and hit next
15) On the next screen, select "Don't search. I will choose the driver to install." and hit next.
16) On the next screen, click "Have disk" then hit browse and find the btwusb.inf file you just modified, and hit OK
17) you should see "Toshiba Bluetooth" now listed in the window. Select it and hit next
18) It should take care of everything automatically then, once the installation is completely, the Widcomm software will start up
19) Enjoy!

 

Glad you figured it out., but if you still want to use the MS driver: Copy the following text into notepad and save it as [somefilename].inf

Uninstall uninstall any previously installed stack and reboot.

With the single unidentified USB device in device manager, choose to manually install a driver and point it to the new inf-file. Disregard the 'unsigned' warning as it's just due to not having the correct .cat file.

Let Windows do its thing and it should find some Devices: Bluetooth Enumerator, Bluetooth device, Bluetooth PAN, and so on.

Hopefully threre should now be the white on blue BT logo in the systray and the device should be working.
