Problem connecting Hisense Hi Reader Pro to Calibre

ssbcc · 04-06-2023, 08:52 PM

Just received my Hi Reader Pro, but when i tried to connect to Calibre via USB, I got the following error message:

calibre, version 6.14.1
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

C:\r\src\src\calibre\devices\mtp\windows\content_e numeration.cpp:710:Cannot write to file:[hr=0x80004005 wCode=0] Unspecified error

wpd.WPDError: C:\r\src\src\calibre\devices\mtp\windows\content_e numeration.cpp:710:Cannot write to file:[hr=0x80004005 wCode=0] Unspecified error

I tried re-installing Calibre, re-booting my computer and hi reader, but nothing seems to work. Wondering if anyone else has had similar problems, or know how to fix this.

Thanks in advance.

That says your device does not allow writing to the location.
Have you tried copying any file from your PC (use Explorer) to that device?

That is an error communicating with the device. Usually, this kind of error can be fixed by
following the steps below in sequence. First:

1) Try rebooting both the device and your computer
2) If that does not work, find the files driveinfo.calibre and metadata.calibre on the device
and delete them (you can use Windows Explorer or a file manager on the device itself to do this)
3) Reset the device

If none of those work, you can use one of the wireless communication methods described here:

Thank you. I tried all the steps but my device still won't connect.
I'm can only books via Windows Explorer.
Bummer!
