GADMEI USB 2.0 TV BOX - Software + Driver for Windows XP / Windows Vista / Windows 7

Reblogged  by +CSIT Authority under full permission by +Siddhant Rimal(@GLP)

 This is a tested & working fix for GADMEI UTV332E / UTV330E 

 GADMEI USB 2.0 TV BOX  users will have to agree that the GADMEI software installation really sucks big time, with a capital S. This is because the whole device is made in China and its drivers and software are rendered 'untrusted' by Windows due to non standard certificates. [Even though they work perfectly under optimal fixes.]

The saddest part is, that it is not entirely based on an english language interface either, so most people will NOT get the much needed 'help'. The help & support at GADMEI sucks big time too! So, we GADMEI user folks had to develop our own way to overcome this problem.
I'm sure users have had problems installing the TV BOX in Windows 7 OS platform. It is fairly simple with Windows XP and Vista, but sometimes, it won't work too!
So to sum it up, thats why  GLP  brings you a nifty trick to overcome this problem.

NO big bulky downloads, NO useless files. 
Just a nifty trick, some very small size file downloads and we're good to go!


 NO [.exe] files either, so you don't risk a malware or virus [Its tested] 


 Follow this easy set of instructions: 
  1. First download these files, if you DO NOT already have them.
  2. All CD Content [40.4Mb]:
    Please Note: An error may be shown. This is because google drive is unable to scan over 25MBs of ZIP file. Rest assured, the file is completely safe and is distributed with exactly the same content as official Gadmei CD. If you are using anything other than Windows XP, then you might also need to download the driver that is given below. Any further questions can be answered at https://m.me/csitauthority
    Gadmei Windows 7 and higher OS Drivers [139Kb]:
    [There is a 20GB download limit on these^ files so when lots of people download it, the link crashes. We are working to fix this issue(namely get a better server :v ) but for now, if it crashes, please let us know in the comments below. Thanks! ;) ]

  3. Extract the files from  USB TV BOX 3.0[GLP].zip , and install GADMEI USB BOX 3.0 software (Yes it says 3.0, but the device is actually 2.0, it supports both). Install by running  autorun.exe  inside the extracted folder.

  4. If you run Windows XP, restarting the system will work fine after install. Same for Vista. Thats all for XP and Vista.

  5. If you are running Windows 7, do not restart yet!

  6. Extract  Win7Drivers[GLP].zip  and paste the files inside the same folder where you installed the TV box software in Step 2.
     example: If you installed in E:\Gadmei , paste it inside that folder. 

  7. Now go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Device Manager > Select the 'USB TV DEVICE' with a question mark sign.

  8. Right click on it & select 'Update Driver Software' > Browse my computer for driver software > 'Browse' and select the place where you pasted all the  drivers extracted in Step 5.   In my case, E:\Gadmei 

  9. Okay then, thats it! Congratulations, you have succeeded in fixing your 'wittle' GADMEI problem in Windows 7.

NOTE: The process for Windows 7 also applies for any higher version of Windows Operating System; i.e. the Windows 7 method also works for Windows 8 , Windows 8.1 and Windows 10

How to connect gadmei USB2.0 tv box utv330+ mobile to normal tv

I would tell you but replying to an anonymous comment is moot. Please comment from a registered ID so that you may get my replies :)

Thanks for taking this effort for others ! :-)
The process was smooth till now, But I can't see the - " 'USB TV DEVICE' with a question mark sign " in Device Manager.
Can you please help?

Im through with every stage but dont see the " 'USB TV DEVICE' with a question mark sign" in Device Manager pls.

Hi guys, I am sorry for the INCREDIBLY LATE reply. I don't get notifications from blogger anympre, please do a facebook comment from now on.

Onto the question: If you can't see the 'USB TV Device', it probably means one of two things. {1} Your computer is unable to I/O with the device from that particular port, or a physical problem like damaged wire is causing a problem {2} Or, windows has mis-identified the device as something else. Solution for problem {2} is to plug out the device, scan your computer in device manager ans then plug it back in while the device manager is in expanded form. Your 'USB TV Device' may just have been mislabelled as something else. If there is a new entry(usually at the USB section), you should know. If you find the misidentified entry, right click it and uninstall driver. Then unplug your device and install the CD contents first anyways. This should introduce various drivers to your system first. And now if you try it, it should work.

I am sorry to be of limited help. Driver conflicts are tricky to fix just by explaining. Please keep in mind that the label 'USB TV Device' means your computer is correctly identifying that the device is a TV device. Question mark means it just does not know what driver to use for the identified device. Sometimes, the device may be mis-identified(as in your case) where the computer will be convinced that it is connected to something else(eg: likr a keyboard) and will try to use keyboard drivers on the device, which will abviously fail but will not show a red question mark. It might show a yellow exclamation mark or nothing at all, you'll have to check the properties of suspected device to know if it is functioning properly(or is only enabled). I wish you success in fixing this.
