This particular post of mine will guide you through installing the drivers for the Ideos X5. Now many of you would have done this by yourself and would feel there is no need to post it but this post is for those few who are finding it difficult to get this done. Installing the driver is the first basic step to be done before you head toward rooting your phone or even installing a custom recovery.
In some cases the drivers get automatically get installed once you plug in the usb into your compuer and sometimes you get an error like "Drivers for this device cannot be installed" (was the case with me).
So if yours is the case like mine was then the steps below will guide you in fixing the driver issue.

Find the drivers software:
The driver software is already present in your phone. When you plug in your phone to your pc, windows would detect your device and display it in My Computer (You may have ti turn on the debug mode in your phone by going into settings< usb connectivity ). Right Click on the device and select "Open in new window" (if using windows 7) or "Explore" (if using windows xp). Navigate through the folders to find a folder named "drivers". Thats it this folder contains the driver software of Ideos x5. Copy this onto your desktop. If you couldn't find the driver software, you may use here link provided below to download them. These are the drivers from my phone which i have uploaded.
Installing the Drivers:
Now that you have located the drivers its time to install them.
- Open device Manager
- Find your device on the list.
- Double Click on it and select update driver in the opened window.
- Select "Browse My Computer for driver software".
- Browser the window to the saved driver software folder
- Hit next and you will see the driver has been installed.
Note: there will be an exclamation over your driver in device manager which states that the driver is not installed yet. Absence of the yellow exclamatory mark means your driver has been installed.
Feel free to ask any queries or if you are facing is difficulty.
