For BSOD: Maybe a driver conflict,Have you tried doing a fresh install of Windows 8 and then follow this guide?
remember that Windows 8 is still a preview

How can I install a Radeon 9250 PCI ATI card in Windows 8?
ATI Has a Windows 7 32-bit driver for this card but upgrading Windows 7 32-bit to Win8 and I get the crummy MS Basic Display Adapter driver.
If I try to do a have disk, it will list the Radeon 9250 along with the MS Basic Display Adapter as drivers compatible with the Authenticode(tm) signature, but if I select the RADEON 9250. I get the dreaded Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device.
The driver selected for this device does not support this version of Windows.
Clearly there must be a simple solution around this that will allow me to force Windows 8 to use the Windows 7 driver. Is there?

Sorry for long time reply ,btw this guide forces Win 8 to use Win7 Drivers,if you want you can try the Radeon HD Method with those drivers

Regardless of how the drivers are installed it will always tell you that the driver is not designed for this version of windows and will default back to the generic windows display drivers.

the win 7 version worked for my Win 8

thank you so much!! it worked like a charm

Vista and Win7 supported the old XP Display Driver Model (XDM), in addition to the new Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM). Win8 drops the legacy support for XDM and mandates WDDM. It might not even support WDDM 1.0; I'm not sure. If you were able to get Aero working on Win7, you *should* be able to use the hardware drivers on Win8 as well, unless it was a WDDM1.0 card, in which case you may be out of luck. I don't believe any WDDM drivers were ever released for a Radeon card below the 9500, so a 9250 will definitely not work (sorry @the_game_master). Honestly though, that's a low-end card from somewhere in the vicinity of 9 years ago. You could get a newer card that will be supported in Win8 and will kick you old 9250's ass up one side and down the other for like $30.

If you have one of those cards listed up there there won't be any new ones they are legacy cards, they don't support them anymore, they don't even have proper Windows 7 drivers. You should probably think of a new graphics card or a new computer (this is probably better than keeping an old system alive with some new components) instead if you want things to work properly.

5.Search for VGA Controller/Card/generic VGA Adapter

I can't find this one, I only have the Microsoft basic display adapter in device manager. Any suggestions? I have a AMD Radeon Xpress x1250 integrated videocard on my MSI K9AG Neo2 Digital mainboard .

Worked awesomely to my HD 2600 Drivers...thank you.
I was thinking rolling back to win7

i tried mentioned solution, after select ati folder i found my graphic card on list but ati radeon x1800 on an alienware m5790 didn't work with win8 pro (bought yesterday)....
i tried 2 new fresh install (32 and 64 bit) both same 'The driver selected for this device does not support this version of Windows'
i will appreciate any further suggestion....or have i go back to win 7 ?

Working with ATI Radeon Xpress 1200 Series
Thank you for this. Upgraded my mum's Samsung NP R60Y to Windows 8 and got the crappy resolution. Tried with downloads from Samsung's own support pages with no luck until came upon this page and downloaded the drivers from the link on the first post.
Now the "ATI Radeon Xpress 1200 Series" card is running at 1280x800 instead of 1024x768 which was horrible. My Device Manager had "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter" (not VGA).
Now I just have to get this system to boot from an SSD...so much for an hour's work to help speed up the mum's laptop - it's taken most of my weekend! But getting rid of Vista for her will have been worth it I hope....

I've giving it up with my integrated Radeon. I found an old 128Mb Nvidia Geforce card, inserted it and it works like a charm!

Thank for your info.

Win8 pro on Alienware m5790 with Ati Radeon x1800
[SOLVED] update:
I downloaded several drivers, keep trying to find the good one for ati radeon x1800....and....here it is:
http://www.touslesdrivers.com/index.php?v_page=23&v_code=28298&v_langue=en
Please, for x1800 owners, use same method of first post but with these drivers!
Now I've x1800 recognized by Win8 pro working on 2 monitors and 1920*1200 + 1920*1080 resolution,
BUT,
this solution didn't work for 64 bit! i had to install Win8 32 bit
So cannot use sw made only for 64 bit pc like sony vegas 12, or CS5 premiere + aftereffects....

Hey guys,
For anyone having serious issues with their video card drivers on Windows 8, you can try what I did.
I actually completely wiped an iMac and put Windows 8 on, clean install. My Radeon Mobility 4670 HD was detected, but had an exclamation mark next to it in device manager (Unable to start device). No matter what I did, Windows told me that I 'already had the best driver installed' OR I could install an updates driver that simply resulted in a black screen, with no way out other than system restore!
After many fruitless hours, I wiped the whole computer again, and this time installed Windows 7. After setting everything up perfectly in Windows 7, which was well supported with drivers, I then did an inplace upgrade to Windows 8 as opposed to a clean install. Voila, the driver is now correctly installed in device manager, and I get the maximum performance from the card in Windows 8. Needless to say I wont be touching that driver in the future. Hopefully that method works for you guys who are in hot water.

Thanks

It's beta why not wait till official release then update to 7, god how long it took for Vista to be a stable OS, there have been some more posts about this and the answer tends to be install WMDC again, good luck.
the sad part is that with 7 being in beta, it out preforms vista a million to 1...
I should of wrote it.. yes i know 7 is still a beta, but when 99% of other programs work and better at that then vista. i see it as some other problem.

I was no way saying that Vista is in anyway good and have no computers with Vista on it my point is your not the only one with 7 issues and it's beta and will only run on your system till August 1, so why not just wait and use a stable OS XP Pro.
Here's some reading you may find help in one of the threadz http://www.google.com/cse?cx=000825...ssues&sa=Search&cof=FORID:0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
Have you gone to USB to PC to see if turning off advanced network functionality if off.
Run Wndows update with the phone connected.
ive been using win7 for about 3 months now...WMDC 6.1 runs fine (on 3 different builds of win7) and my phone syncs just fine. as the wacky brit said, screw with the usb option
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center.mspx
thats the one im using...
i'm actually thinking about installing windows7 live at work. i currently have vista (i like it personally. especially on my laptop at home) and am using windows 7 on a virtual machine.
im using it on both my laptops, my desktop and my work desktop. have been running it for a few months (since 6801) and love it...no major issues that have been show stoppers, but it is beta.
to make WMDC install on 7 beta, use this:
Click the Start button , click All Programs, and then click Accessories.
Right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator. In the User Account Control window, verify that Program name is Windows Command Processor, and then click Yes.
In the Administrator: Command Prompt window, type or paste the following text at the prompt:
reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SQMClient\Windows\DisabledSessions /va /f
Press Enter to install the solution.
If The operation completed successfully displays, close the Administrator: Command Prompt window to complete this procedure. If "ERROR: Access is denied" displays, repeat this procedure from the top, making sure you clicked Run as administrator in step two.

Yep...the infamous Windows 7 Installer bug.
After you delete that key ALLL of your programs that use the Windows Installer will install fine. WMDC x64 installed fine and now my HTC Touch syncs up beautifully with Windows 7. Windows update even found some new update 'Windows Mobile-based support' or something like that

[GUIDE]WINDOWS 8 LIVE USB : install it on a USB KEY - UPDATE 11/01/13 - RTM TOO !!!

Hello to all ...
I have received many requests from some other forum users with whom I collaborate x and I am here today to explain how I solve a problem that does not yet seemed to have a solution ...
I WANTED TO INSTALL WINDOWS 8 ON A USB KEY AND ON THIS
THEN IT RUNS DIRECTLY !!!
I'm not talking about putting the ISO on a USB Key and then install it on your hard disk of a PC but installing it directly on it so it's ready to run on every PC on which we put the key.
NB I would like to remind everyone that the version of Windows 8 used from myself for these experiments is Windows Customer Preview 8 32 BIT, it is freely and can be found on Microsoft's site and downloading is free. This is not the ultimate version 'cause Win 8 is not out yet (due out in late 2012, perhaps) or a pirated copy. Therefore I don't intend to encourage or push someone to piracy. All of following is perfectly legal.
A few simple steps and an afternoon of testing. Here's how I did:
01) download the ISO of Windows 8 Customer Preview from Microsoft's Site (English)
02) note the relative activation KEY (always English)
03) unzip the ISO of windows with WinRAR to any folder on your PC
04) unzip the file /SOURCES/INSTALL.WIM with "UniExtract" (universal extractor) in any folder on your PC
05) have a partition of at least 12 GB free on your USB stick
06) format it, if u want, as NTFS format with Cluster Size = 1.024 bytes or 2.048 bytes
07) from the disk management of windows on that partition, run the "mark partition as active" so that the PC can then use it to boot
08) copy the entire contents of extracted INSTALL.WIM to that partition (except the trash folder, RECYCLE.BIN)
09) open the attachment that I put here in RAR, copy the 2 files on the USB KEY and from the DOS command line ( if not works, run DOS Shell as administrator ):
10) bcdboot.exe X:\windows /s X:
11) bootsect /nt60 X: /force
where X is the letter of the partition used in the USB stick. Reboot and ensure that the PC starts from USB stick. In figure 01 you can see my 8 partitions on the same USB drive where I have Windows 7 32 & 64 BIT, WINDOWS 8 32 & 64 BIT, LINUX Pinguy 32 & 64 BIT, Easeus Todo Backup Recovery with Linux shell.
NB The above guide works with the English version of Win 8 Customer Preview 32 BIT as well as the same 64 BIT only that the second requires a bit' more size (about 3 GB +). My guide is the minimum requirement under the which wraps everything but if u want it running more lean, fast and efficient, then we say that the ideal is 16 GB free for the 32 BIT and 20 GB for the 64 BIT.
The first start will make the whole configuration of the system, will ask for the key to activate the free copy of the system, your name, a password that you
can create, etc. From second boot, windows 8 will start in half a minute on a dual core processor with 2 GB of RAM. I remind you that booting from USB, will never be as fast as if it were installed on the hard disk, unless you have a USB 3.0 and never the same also in this case...
THIS IS A PREVIEW, THIS METHOD IS NOT YET FOUND IN THE WEB. I CREATED IT ONLY YESTERDAY AFTERNOON BEING ABLE TO DO IT WORKS. MY PROBLEM WAS THE COMMAND LINE FROM DOS BUT NOW IT'S PERFECT AND WORKS PERFECTLY ... SHARE THIS HOW TO IF YOU WANT, JUST PLEASE REMEMBER TO WRITE MY NAME ... PYCON IS ALWAYS QUALITY !!

UPDATE 11/01/2013 => WINDOWS 8 RTM 32 & 64 Bit
Hello everyone ... After a while 'on the run, I remembered having to try again with the release of Windows 8 RTM Build 9200, then finally ... 2 little hours for testing a program of which I already knew the existence ( not new, just some persons often combine this program with wrong DOS command or not right card format ) et voilà ! IN A FEW STEPS, WINDOWS 8 LIVE USB ... RTM VERSION AND PREVIEWS TOO ( I tried with my old Consumer Preview, I assume that it might work with the very old Developer one ). However, if the preview doesn't work, my previous method still works for sure with the previews...
Pre-requisites:
A) have the ISO Microsoft Windows 8 RTM ( remember men... the free trial is 90 days)
B) have a PRIMARY partition at least 12 GB free space on the USB drive formatted in NTFS with the choice between
- Cluster Size = 512 bytes
- Cluster Size = 1024 bytes
- Cluster Size = 2048 bytes
C) have the two little programs WINRAR (including trial version) & GIMAGEX (opensource)
Here's how:
01) open with WINRAR the ISO of Windows 8 RTM ( or the release u want to use )
02) extract the file /SOURCES/INSTALL.WIM to the hard disk ( where you want )
03) open with GIMAGEX ( Image Extractor Tool ) the file INSTALL.WIM... This's a small portable utility, download it, unzip it where you want and open the executable in 32-bit or 64-bit EXE depending on your system:
- go to 2nd tab "APPLY"
- in the 1st field "Source", click once on Browse and select your file INSTALL.WIM
- in the 2nd field "Destination", click once on Browse and select the root of your USB drive (eg X: )
- in the 3rd field "Image" you can check by clicking on Select that it's the NUMBER 1
- "Verify" not flagged
- "Check" not flagged
- click on APPLY and wait ... here it's stolen to me about 20 minutes ... depends on key and system ...
04) from disk management builted in windows, choose the partition of the USB key used and right click to "mark partition as active" so that the PC can then use it to boot
05) open a DOS command line with administrator privileges
06) go to the directory of the key X: \ Windows \ System32 where X: is the partition of the USB key
07) bcdboot.exe X:\windows /s X: /f ALL
FINISHED!
ENJOY IT !!! PYCON RULEZ !!!
wow, that's impressive. thanks for this guide, im gonna try it out very soon

No, because the proccesor in your prime has an ARM architecture so it wan't boot a 32 bit system. It also doesn't have BIOS to boot from USB.

It depends of performance of your PC.
INSTALL.WIM is 2,5 average size file, so on my I7 the uncompress
got me waiting for about 6 / 7 mins... So try, if u jave a dual core
it's possible u've to wait up to 12 / 15 mins to uncompress it...

Yes, but whwn I had it installed on a second partiton of my HDD and then formatted it, I couldn't boot back to windows 7

No man, u can't format the usb key on which u've installed Win 8.
'cause for the system, it's the C: and so the system partition, u
can't format it, resize it, remove it from usb tray icon...
@pycon: I think he meant that he wanted to format it from Windows 7 (or whatever his other OS is), and I think it's safe to do that.
@k.janku1: That's because Windows 8's dual boot screen is shown AFTER Windows 8 actually boots, so before deleting Windows 8 you first have to remove it from the boot list in "msconfig" (just type that in the search), and if you already formatted your HDD partition where Windows 8 is installed, then your only solution is to repare your MBR using a Windows DVD or some other boot tool like SuperGRUB (it can restore Windows MBRs too, not just Linux!)

[GUIDE]How to Enable .net Framework 3.5.1 Offline in Windows 8,8.1

Many of us are using Windows 8 Developer or Consumer Preview.While using Windows 8 Beta version,sometimes you will get the message to install .net framework,for running those applications which require .net Framework to operate.
But it becomes quite difficult for us to download and install Microsoft .net Framework online.There can be many reason for that.
Know here question arises that Windows 8 comes with pre-installed .net framework application,then why it is asking for re-installation.It is because Windows 8 beta Setup doesn't install the .net
Framework,we have to manually install it.
How to Install / Enable .net framework 3.5.1 in Offline mode

yes man you are right >>> it also happened to me but i solved the problem
Just i changed the image that i used to another image with another version
Works! Thanks mate.
working good in my win 8 enterprise
FYI : if you have iso files of win 8, just mount it.
Works like the proverbial "Charm" on my WIndows 8 Enterprise where we sit behind an authenticating proxy making Windows 8 Update dang near impossible.
Thanks HUGELY, behnameb7

Many of us are using Windows 8 Developer or Consumer Preview.While using Windows 8 Beta version,sometimes you will get the message to install .net framework,for running those applications which require .net Framework to operate.
But it becomes quite difficult for us to download and install Microsoft .net Framework online.There can be many reason for that.
Know here question arises that Windows 8 comes with pre-installed .net framework application,then why it is asking for re-installation.It is because Windows 8 beta Setup doesn't install the .net
Framework,we have to manually install it.
How to Install / Enable .net framework 3.5.1 in Offline mode
Go on "Search" Option of Windows 8 and type cmd
Now Right click on the "cmd" and if you are using Windows 8 Developer Preview then click on Advanced and after that click "Run as Administrator".If you are using Windows 8 Consumer Preview then after right click on "cmd" click on Run as administrator option.
Insert your Windows 8 Installation Disc in the Drive
Now enter the Following command in "cmd"
Code:
dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /Source:G:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess
Please note:- Letter "G" in above command is the drive letter in which your Windows 8 installation Disc has been inserted.

Boot Windows RT 8.1 installation PE on DragonBoard 410c

}
Actually, it is far more easier to boot Windows RT 8.1 PE on Dragonboard 410c compared to Lumia 520. DB410c is shipped without RPMB provisioned, Secure Boot is off, no Secure Boot keys are provisioned, nor Secure Boot Policy, and almost all UEFI settings are accessible. You need to patch nothing with Windows kernel itself on DB410c.
1. Some preparation
Flash Windows 10 IoT to have UEFI. Access Microsoft's IoT page for details.
On the back of the board, switch USB HOST to on, other switches remain OFF.
In BDS menu, switch Secure Boot off. (It should shipped with Secure Boot off)
2. Windows RT installation disk prepartion
Extract HalExtQCTimer.dll and HalExtQCWdogTimer.dll from Lumia 640XL firmware. Other Windows Phone 8.1 devices with Snapdragon 400/410/801 should work too (not S4, Qualcomm changed hardware design), but I have not tested yet.
PS. If anyone have LG Lancet Windows Phone 8.1 firmware, that's better. Reply or PM me for more if you have one.
Inject HAL extensions:
Mount boot.wim index #1.
Put the two files metioned before to \Windows\System32.
Mount \Windows\system32\config\SYSTEM registry, import HAL extension configuration, like this:
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\WinRTSYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\OSExtensionDatabase]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\WinRTSYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\OSExtensionDatabase\VEN_QCOM&DEV_100A]
"HalExtension"="\SystemRoot\System32\HalExtQCTimer.dll"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\WinRTSYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\OSExtensionDatabase\VEN_QCOM&DEV_100B]
"HalExtension"="\SystemRoot\System32\HalExtQCWdogTimer.dll"
Repeat the operation for boot.wim image #2. Commit changes and unmount boot.wim
I haven't modified install.wim yet. You still need to inject these HAL extensions if you want to install it.
Copy files to a USB key. Modify BCD configuration:
You need boot param passed to kernel:
/REDIRECT /NOVGA /TESTSIGNING
Replace bootmgr.efi, bootarm.efi, bootmgfw.efi with Windows 10 IoT's. I am not sure whether original version will work.
3. Boot
DO NOT BOOT IT FROM UEFI SHELL. I believe there's a bug in Qualcomm's firmware. If you boot any Windows OS in UEFI shell, bootmgfw.efi will work fine, but HAL initialization will certainly fail with error code 0x5c, even Windows 10 IoT. I don't why yet.
Insert USB key to Dragonboard, plug in power supply, press Volume- button until your USB key's LED light indicates there is I/O operation.
It should boot. Ignore the other two options in the picture. I am testing HAL extensions with them.
4. Issues
No drivers are injected yet. I need to inject drivers in order to make USB and other devices work. I will try that after my final test. I think LG Lancet Windows Phone 8.1 firmware is the best driver source for DB410c as they MSM8916 and APQ8016 are similar.
I am not sure if Windows RT's kernel will accept a Windows Phone signed HAL extension without TESTSIGNING option. They have the same Root Certificate though in Windows RT 8.1/Windows Phone 8.1.
DB410c has only 8GB eMMC, if you want to install it on board, storage space will be a problem.
DO NOT BOOT IT FROM UEFI SHELL. I believe there's a bug in Qualcomm's firmware. If you boot any Windows OS in UEFI shell, bootmgfw.efi will work fine, but HAL initialization will certainly fail with error code 0x5c, even Windows 10 IoT. I don't why yet.
You can download FFU file for LG Lancet with WP 8.10.15148.160 here: http://cellomania.com/ffu/product_codes/VW820.html
Here is the list of all the files from Qualcomm packages contained in the LG Lancet ROM.
All files under "\Windows\Packages" are GZipped. Also *.rga files are REG files.
Edit: Edited the attachment to group files by package.
Ok, here is the list of all the packages (sorted alphabetically) with their files.
I discovered that 2 files (MainOS\Windows\Packages\RegistryFilesLGE.BASE.Phone.MainOS.reg & MainOS\Windows\Packages\RegistryFiles\LGE.BASE.Variant.MainOS.reg) contained registry entries for other packages so I made a small script to extract them (you will find them in the attached reg.zip file) and to link them back with their corresponding package.
So, in the packages.txt file, if a reg file has no path, it means you will find it in the reg.zip file
The Windows.zip file contains all the files from MainOS\Windows\Packages ready to be read (no more gzipped).
Hope it helps you

Much thanks. The major issue now is, Dragonboard uses a Chipidea dual-role USB controller, which might not have propitiate driver support on Windows 8.1. I checked LG Lancet, its USB directly connects to Chipidea USB controller(not dual role). Since they both use 8x16, I believe there is someway to switch it.

More phones which use MSM8916 SoC:
- Mouse Computer MADOSMA Q501: http://www.mouse-jp.co.jp/phone/madosma/
- Blu X150Q Win HD LTE Dual SIM
- Blu X130Q Win Jr LTE Dual SIM

Unfortunately, none of them seems to have USB OTG.
---------- Post added at 04:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:58 AM ----------
Btw, did you find out which package from the LG controls USB?
Also, do you have a VID/PID (or any type of applicable identifier) for the USB controller?
You may want to try the Windows 10 drivers... I don't think the BSP offered by Qualcomm is different if you use Windows Mobile 8.10 or 10 (When a phone is upgraded from 8.1 to 10, the drivers are not updated). The inf file may not be working but the sys/dll may work. It's worth the try.

Yeah, their ACPI tree structure is:

-- USBFn extensions #1
-- USBFn extensions #2

I am installing Ubuntu to see how it deals with 410c.

I didn't find which package, but the ID is ACPI\QCOM2488, it is a USBFN device, located in \\_SB.UFN1 (in dsdt), while DB410c has \\_SB.URS0.USB0 and \\_SB.URS0.UFN0.

Ok, if I understand, for LG Lancet :
ACPI\QCOM2488
-> \\_SB.UFN1
For 410c:
ACPI\QCOM2488
-> \\_SB.URS0.USB0
-> \\_SB.URS0.UFN0
If you look at the packages.txt file, there is a package named "Microsoft.Drivers.UfxChipIdea" and one named "Microsoft.Drivers.UsbFnChipIdea". It seems they hold the driver for the Chipidea chip. I don't know if they support OTG but you should try.
I attached a small packages_usb.txt with updated packages files for the USB packages and new reg files for those packages (which were inside Microsoft.MainOS.Production.reg).
These drivers are also part of Windows 10 so maybe the one from Windows 10 IoT are backward compatible?
I am wondering if the OTG support is built inside these drivers, part of another driver or part of the OS?
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn957036(v=vs.85).aspx
"The Microsoft USB Role Switch (URS) driver allows a system implementer to take advantage of the dual-role USB capability of their platform."
"These drivers are provided by Microsoft as in-box drivers. Chipidea High-Speed USB OTG Controller. Inbox INF: UrsChipidea.inf."
"URS0 is the ACPI definition for the USB dual-role controller. This is the ACPI device on which the URS driver will load.
USB0 and UFN0 are child devices inside the scope of URS0. USB0 and UFN0 represent the two child stacks that will be enumerated by the URS driver, and the host and function stacks respectively. Note that _ADR is the means by which ACPI matches these device definitions with the device objects that the URS driver creates."
"On a system that has a USB micro-AB connector, the driver makes use of hardware interrupts that indicates the state of the ID pin on the connector. This pin is used to detect whether the controller needs to assume the host role or the function role in a connection."
"Driver installation packages:
If you're an IHV or an OEM and you're thinking of providing your own driver package, here are some things to consider:
-> URS driver package
It is expected that the Hardware ID for the dual-role controller on each platform will be added to the inbox INF for URS. However, if for some reason the ID cannot be added, the IHV/OEM may provide a driver package with an INF that Needs/Includes the inbox INF and matches their Hardware ID.
This is necessary in the case where the IHV/OEM requires a filter driver to be present in the driver stack.
-> Host driver package.
An IHV/OEM-provided driver package that Needs/Includes the inbox usbxhci.inf and matches the host device Hardware ID is required. The Hardware ID match would be based on the scheme described in the preceding section.
This is necessary in the case where the IHV/OEM requires a filter driver to be present in the driver stack.
There is work in progress to make URS driver assign the XHCI Compatible ID for the host device.
-> Function driver package
An IHV/OEM-provided driver package that Needs/Includes the inbox Ufxsynopsys.inf and matches the peripheral device Hardware ID is required. The Hardware ID match would be based on the scheme described in the preceding section.
The IHV/OEM can also include a filter driver in the driver package."
This page is for WIndows 10 and it's not sure that Windows 8.1 supported dual-role drivers... because I found nothing on Google.

I don't think it has built-in support. I checked MSDN, USB role switch is a new feature introduced in Windows 10. And these USBFn drivers are used for USB device support, not USB host support.
Another Windows Embedded 8.1 Handheld device, Panasonic FZ-E1, has built-in USB OTG support in 8.1. I don't know how Panasonic implemented that yet.

Did you find a ROM with Windows Embedded 8.1 Handheld? I searched but found nothing. You may want to ask in this forum if someone as one...
The only thing I found is the WE8.1H SDK which contains an emulator image (ffu). Unfortunately, like all the official emulators (Hololens, Windows Phone, Windows Phone), it's an x86 compilation of WE8.1H but it can help understand: only the files can't be used on an ARM devices.

Just contacted someone who owned a Panasonic FZ-E1. This device has two USB channels, one for USB device and another for USB host. This explains why it supports USB host mode in Windows Embedded 8.1 Handheld.
For the app, it said it used something not related to USB OTG.
I think you should have to add intermediate certificate to the store.
One is Microsoft Windows Phone Production 2012 for WP8.1 & Before.
Another is Microsoft Windows Mobile 2014 for W10M and later. That would be amazing. Universal ROM lol

^ This isn't real Windows To Go but it will write a USB with a bootable installation of Windows. The option is disabled by default and has to be enabled from Media Builder Settings if required. If enabled this option will be offered either after creating an image or when writing an existing one. There are no guarantees that this is stable but it might be useful if you want to test something without touching the local installation.
I have only tested this on a Surface 2 and cannot predict how or even if it will work on other devices, in the test I have done the installation was usable when installed to a USB 2 Western Digital 250GB conventional hard drive. If a drive with inadequate performance is used then at best the installation will take an hour or two or in the worst case the installation will fail. For Windows RT 8.1 this option requires a USB drive that reports as "fixed", it will not work on a "removable" device.
^^ Based on Microsoft instructions for manual removal of Office and it might not be perfect.

Download and extract the zip file then run Build.cmd as administrator. Once Build opens select your device by typing the number corresponding to your device and pressing enter. After that no interaction will be required for a while, it will download Windows RT 8.1 IR5 and the updates for Windows directly from Microsoft, integrate them, add drivers for your device and then produce a folder ready to be copied to USB for installation on your device. Optionally an ISO can be created for archival purposes, you will be prompted for this towards the end of the run.
On an old test box I've found the process to take around 50 minutes including download time. I've attached some pictures of it running start to finish in first post.
I have an error message
«*this application cannot run on you computer*»
«*To find applications for this pc, open windows store*»
Do you know what’s happen?

What are you running it on? This is run on a normal x86/x64 PC, the media prepared here can then be used on your RT device. It could be made to work on an RT device but I imagine it would be incredibly slow to produce the updated installation source.
EDIT: I have updated the download, it will show an error if you are running on an unsupported architecture.
Can I grab iso my language different than en-us?

Yes, you should just need to edit "\Download_Lists\Windows.txt" and replace the link with one of these.

It's not hidden as such (I haven't added the drivers) but I'm not sure how to safely approach Lumia 2520 yet, I will look into it at the weekend. Once certain updates are applied to Lumia 2520 they can't ever be jailbroken again whereas on Surface we can just format them or remove the jailbreak blocking updates.
I'm also not sure what the jailbreak situation is on other RT devices so I need to try and found out if any of them are in the same boat as the Lumia 2520 before adding driver packs for them all. I suspect its going to end up having two update lists, the full one used in the existing release and a jailbreak friendly one.
I will also try to add language selection to avoid having the manually change it.

Lenovo is easily jailbreaked like Surface.
It is good to have multilang.

Yea, I had a quick look and as I understand it all the Tegra devices can't be permanently blocked from being Jailbroken. It's just all the Qualcomm devices like the 2520 that are out of luck, these devices might get an alternative safe update list.

I've updated the link, v1.3 will hopefully let you pick a language without editing anything. I have only tested this with Chinese, Dutch, English & French IR5 sources.
The optional Appx pack remains unchanged.

I will check it. Btw I do not get what to do with appx pack... Unpack it into appx folder?
It is seems working. Add lenovo drivers please. I can share it if any.

Yep, extract to Appx folder so it looks like the attached image and once the pack is present Build.cmd will ask if you want to update the Appx or not.

I will try to take a look tonight. Do you have an RT 8.1 recovery image for the device? I wonder how close they are to the Surface RT ones.

This one contains the Lenovo drivers, just a test for now because I don't have a Yoga 11 to test it on. Assuming this works please check device manager,check all drivers are present and let me know the result.
Download: EDIT: Main link updated to v1.4
Thanks to lgibson02 for the drivers and testing!
28/11/2020 - Windows_RT_8.1_IR5_Update_Kit_v1.5.zip
- Added UNTESTED support for ASUS VivoTab RT, Dell XPS 10, Nokia Lumia 2520 & Samsung Ativ Tab.
- Added Update List selection, choice of update lists - All Updates for Windows (Including "Jailbreak Killers"), Longhorn Jailbreak Safe & Myriachan Jailbreak Safe.
17/12/2020 - Windows_RT_8.1_IR5_Update_Kit_v1.6.zip
17/12/2020 - Windows_RT_8.1_IR5_Update_Kit_v1.6_Appx.zip
- Added three additional update modes (None, Service Stack Only & Service Stack and Update 3 Only).
- Added warning for languages that do not currently support App updates.
- Added warning if an unmodified IR5 image is going to be created.
- Removed Start Menu Update Discoverability notification if Update 3 is installed and Start Menu is enabled by default.
During testing I found that trying to update provisioned apps in Windows RT 8.1 IR5 for Saudi Arabia, Bulgaria, Germany, Croatia, Hungary, Russia and Slovakia results in the following error:
App packages (.appx) cannot be serviced on an offline image after a user has logged into the image.

I will try to find what causes this but for the moment these will be excluded from attempting app updates.
At this time I don't think there is going to be a solution for adding updates for Office 2013 RT offline.
hi I have installed all the windows update, everything perfect
I would like to know how to install the jailbreak and if you have to compile from the surface directly or from another pc.
thanks

Another thread might be best suited for jailbreak discussion but there are a few options. There are methods from Myriachan, Never_Released / black_bob and imbushuo.
Does myriachan jailbreak automatically with this program? What does it consist of? Should it be done? Can I put a newer browser? Thank you
