Calibre erroring out on "Send to Device"

[glazedbelmont]

I have previously opened a thread about Calibre invalidating a device's metadata cache and in the process, fail to identify the books in a device.

Device is a Boox Go Color 7 connected via USB

This time, however, after this problem re-happened, I have been next to unable to send any books to my device, I can usually transfer 1-2 series (around 8-9 books) before the next transfer errors out with the following error

calibre, version 7.17.0
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

C:\r\src\src\calibre\devices\mtp\windows\content_enumeration.cpp:710:Cannot write to file:[hr=0x802a0006 wCode=0] The requested value cannot be determined.

Another error I have gotten is: (I have updated Calibre since then)

calibre, version 7.18.0
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

What have I tried:
- Different USB Ports (front panel, motherboard directly, usb hub)
- Different USB Cables
- Rebooting my reader + rebooting my desktop running Calibre

The error has happened on book files "named" the same and files named differently so I know it isn't an error caused by this

I'm so confused what the error is and what it is caused by. I have seen other threads about this issue and the code author says to reset the device, except this is an Android device, resetting it would make a lot more finnicky to get back up to speed.

If you need more information, I'll be pleased to send it

It's basically the firmware on your device being flaky. 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:

Steps 1 and 2 have been done, I've changed the management setting to "Only on Send" and it seems to be working so far, I guess I'm just cursed that all my issues solve themselves when I start posting in forums.


Also thanks for Calibre Have a nice day!
