USB problems

[ZioCain]

Hi everybody!

I got win8.1, and i'm using win7 on the virtual machine.

i'm doing this because i need to upgrade my phone, but it seems that no upgrade can be made with win8/8.1, so i'm using win7 on the wirtual machine, so i dont have to install a whole OS just to do a 5 minutes operation.

the problem is that when i connect my phone is isnt detected, like i havent plugged it.

How can i "activate" the USB ports??

i have virtual box puel

1. Make sure that the extension pack is installed.
2. Create a USB filter in your guest settings while the device is plugged in the host. Delete all values except VendorID and ProductID.
3. Unplug the device.
4. Start your guest (the one that you applied the filter to). Let it start completely. Log in if you have to.
5. Plug your device. The filter should capture it and pass control to your guest.
6. If the device shows up in your host and is not captured by the filter, either the filter is incorrect, or there might be a problem with your filter installation.
7. If the device shows up, but as unavailable, "eject" it from your host, but leave it plugged in. It should show up as available.
8. Are you by any chance using a USB 3.0 port?

I've been trying with both USB 2.0 and 3.0.

but still nothing!

No phone is seen by the system!

[noteirak]

which system? the host or the guest? is the phone showing as unavailable when trying to pass it to the guest?
Could you confirmed you've following the steps above?

[ZioCain]

I'm using win8.1 on the computer, win7 on the machine.

I followed ALL of the steps above.

when the VB window's on focus no phone is detected at all.
if i connect the phone while VB window's not on focus the phone is detected by win8.1, but not from the VB machine

maybe its just the filter properties
i got them like this:

The USB id 0bda:0139 belongs to a Realtek RTS5139 USB card reader.
Are you sure your phone shows up with this ID?

[ZioCain]

it doesnt show up at all!

so i just dont know what port is the right one!

Run the following command in a command prompt located in the Virtualbox install directory with your VM shutdown and your phone plugged in & detected by the host. Post back the output:

vboxmanage list usbhost

this is the output...i think the phone is plugged in the last port...
even if i absolutely dont know what is plugged at the second one, since my notebook only has 3 USB ports available (that i can actually see and use)

USB 0fce:0171 is a Sony phone
Some devices inside your system are also connected (internally) to USB, therefore they appear in the list.

If it helps - here is my recent experience with USB devices running on Windows 2000 as guest on Windows 7 (64b)
After upgrading to VirtualBox 4.3.6 and extensions USB did not recognize any USB devices, but everything worked fine before the upgrade. Eventually with the help of 'Mr7WFIL's' method with (somewhat shortened) it was fixed and I can now access printer, scanner etc as before.

Method:
1) Search for REGEDIT in Windows Search
2) Go into EDIT in this screen
3) Search for upperfilters using the FIND option
4) Change the name slightly, for example upperfiltersx worked with me
5) Some people suggest deleting this line completely, but I err on the side of caution.

Good luck from clyde1
