noobs need help. I can't get the usb drivers works - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm using Rogers HTC dream and i'm planning to get the cyannogen mod going.
well changing the spl is not a problem and my phone is running spl1.33.2005.
When i try to use to fastboot method from cyannogen's wiki
i can't get the usb drive works, it keeps saying that :"windows cannot install drivers". At first time i thought it is win7 64bit system's problem. Then i try to do it on a winxp machine, it didn't work either!
Thanks

What's wrong? Describe what is happening and I will try to help you get it working.

lol thanks man. after few hours searching on the internet, i found out that many people have the same problem as i do.
when type in "fastboot devices", there is no "serial number" coming out, if you try "fastboot reboot", the cmd will stay on "waiting for devices".
This can be solved by downloading the android SDK package. Put the system.img and radio.img into it. try "fastboot" again.
For me it works, as soon as seeing the serial number on the cmd, i'm so happy^^.
well, the phone is faster in responding, but the available is reduced
In the stock rom I usually seeing 40MB available, but right now I only have 32MB?

That is to be expected because the rom installs some apps that you probably didn't have before. If you setup apps2sd it will move all your apps over to the sd card and free up lots of space. I have 77mb available space.

adb went on strike :)

win7 (32bit) - latest usb drivers as of saturday (3/13)
So my "first gen" nexus worked like a champ. When I got my new one (wanted 3g on ATT) I plugged it in and fastboot refused to recognize the device. I had to plug the TMO n1 in, remove ALL drivers, reboot my system and plug the new n1 in allowing me the ability to install the drivers.
Fastboot works fine but adb does not.
So I now have a phone in which, for the life of me, I cannot get adb working. Under "other devices" sits Nexus One; it will not let me update the driver for it and I know this is the key to getting adb back.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Stupid question, I know, but that's life
I have the At&t version. Try this file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=613217

[Q] Htc Vivid Rooting help >.>

Okay, so heres my problem. I got this phone from a friend that he had rooted and had worked, and he wound up reseting it and such before handing it over too me. Im no noob on the rooting and even on installing custom roms.
The phone does not recongnize on my computer in hboot.
Now ive done my research and i know its not supported in windows 8 for the drivers, and the only other computer i have would be a windows xp (which gave the same results)
Anyways, my friend no longer has the computer he used to root the phone, and im stuck with no wifi and no service(was just going to use it as a game tablet like phone. which i was using with my samsung galaxy s2 skyrocket before that died.)
I do have drivers installed, ive tried multiple ways to try and create the adb stuff so i can do this but it always gets stuck on waiting for devices.
So i guess what im asking is, am i SOL or is there a work around on windows 8 to get this up and working. im willing to try any and every suggestion, even if it means i have to go and get a "copy" of windows 7 or if there is a way to get it to work on win xp that would be even better.

See thats my problem though, i cant even bring up adb to recongnize the phone. I have the unlocked status on the hboot page, but i cant simply make my computer recongnize the phone when its in hboot mode. Ive tried every single forum that search will bring up about fixing the issue, and most have simply put that its not supported by windows 8 (at sometime during the post, not in initial posts) My main problem is, i use the phone without a connection to a cellular tower, only through wifi, but without being able to boot img file of what ever rom i put on, the wifi wont work.
I cant restore to stock via the same problem being, the hboot or fastboot part, will not recognize on my windows 8 computer.

I have a better solution for you (IMO)
Download ubuntu .iso from the ubuntu website.
burn the .iso to a disk.
set your machine to boot from cd before booting from HDD (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20130425190900AADNjgh)
now, when you boot, it should take you into ubuntu. On the screen that pops up, select english, and then "Try Ubuntu" or whatever the equivalent is.
now, set up adb and fastboot for ubuntu using any method you like ere is a link to a guide: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/08/install-adb-and-fastboot-android-tools.html don't worry, it works on 13.04 or any other new version of Ubuntu.
Your ADB and Fastboot should work in any terminal window now. If you get an error like "insufficient permisions for device" then read on below:
Normally, you would type "adb devices"
instead, now type "sudo adb devices"
the terminal window will prompt you for a admin pass. Use the pass you used when setting up the trial. if you didn't use a pass, just press enter. for all your following adb or fstboot commands, use "sudo adb..." or "sudo fastboot..."
If this helped you, Thank me

[Q] Trouble working with ADB

I unlocked/rooted/installed the stock Android ROM via the All-in-one tool yesterday. Everything went well, except I was getting some errors in Android with the stock ROM, specifically with the phone and media applications. They were both crashing. I read in the ROM thread that you have to flash the radio to get rid of the phone error. Well, I didn't read that before I loaded everything so that .zip wasn't on the phone itself.
Now the phone doesn't show up in Windows, or if it does, it shows up as a CD-ROM drive that I cannot access. I tried flashing it with ADB, but I'm having issues with that as well. When I plug in the phone, I can do "adb devices", and it shows up fine. Reboot into the bootloader/fastboot, everything is fine. Then as soon as I try to do anything, flash the radio, push the .zip to the phone, I get "error: device not found", and I can no longer run any commands on the phone until I reboot the phone and end adb.exe via task manager. Then the cycle continues.
I'm normally pretty good with these things, but I'm stumped here. I've used Android devices in the past, but was an iPhone user for a long time and now I'm coming back and it looks like a lot of this stuff has changed.
Any help is appreciated, at this point my phone is pretty much useless
Thanks!
EDIT: I should also note that I can sometimes get the radio flash to go through, but then I get a "FAILED (remote: signature verify fail).

HELP - Bricked my HTC One (Sprint)

I'm not even sure where to begin. I've been flashing Rom's on multiple devices for a few years now, and have never had an issue until yesterday. I was running the latest stock 3.04.652.2 (sprint) but was rooted and used a few rooted apps. Everything was fine, but then I decided it was time to try a few new roms as I was getting tired of this one. I flashed CM11, and tried to put 4.4 on there.
I should mention that I was using TWRP for everything, except when I tried to load CM11, it said I needed to use the clockword mod recovery, so I did, and didnt' have any issues. It loaded without a hiccup. I didn't fell in love with this rom, so I tried to flash another. I had thought I successfully made a backup and stored it on my computer, but somehow, it didn't save correctly, and is useless.
I got to the point where I downloaded two Roms on the phone. I was going to try one more, Skydragon 4.0, and then a stock version of the Sprint HTC one zip. While trying to flash the skydragon, it went into the correct mode and began the series of questions prior to the flash, and then, about halfway through, there was an error message about syms issue? I can't remember what the exact wording was. I googled around, and was told that if I wiped the kalvic drive, it would solve the issue. I accidentally wiped everything.
So here I am. Stuck on the bootload screen. I've got a white background...it looks like I'm in recovery, however, there is nothing to recover. I can't even factory reset, because there is nothing on here. It won't load anything. I've tried following every Youtube video, and read through every forum I can find. Nothing works. I've tried downloading every stock rom I can find from Sprint, but I can't get any of the zip drives to open to get to the .image file. So here is what I'm working with...
Tampered
Unlocked
M7_WLS PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.33.0000
RADIO - 1.00.20.274.0202
OpenDSPv26.120.16:30:08:-1
eMMC-boot
May 8 2013,16:30:08:-01
Fastboot (which I can change to fastboot usb)
Bootloader
Reboot
Reboot bootloader
Power Down
When I try to connect the usb to the phone, nothing happens, it sounds like it recognizes it, but then get an error message stating that the USB is not recognized. None of the other options do me any good. Reboot, power down, etc ,all take me right back to this screen. I've got all of the developer sdk tools and was going to try to manually put them back on, but can't even do any of it because I can't get the ROM to work.
Do I have any options? Or, am I better at this point to just drop it in the toilet, and shell out the money for the insurance claim to get a phone? I thought about taking it to the Sprint store down the street, and just asking for a Christmas miracle, but I"m not sure how much trouble it will get me in...
Please help! I can't go through Christmas without a phone.
John
did you try to make " fastboot erase cahe(s)" ? it may solve the problem.
or you should flash another recovery that support your rom!

I can't even get it to connect to the usb on the computer. It say the usb drive doesn't work. My only options are what's available on the screen. Anything I do reboots me to the recovery screen. There is no way to re-load anything on it. I think I'm screwed. I might try to take it back to sprint and see what they say. Even though it says tampered on the top...the S is set to ON, so maybe that will save me?

Ok...got into the cmd prompts...keep getting : fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command.
the phone won't even connect to the pc. says the usb is not recognized...even when it's on fastboot usb
At this point, I'm so frustrated, I'm going to try to take it to a sprint store...if they tell me I'm screwed, I'll come home, and accidentally drop it in the sink, and then file the insurance. Don't know what else to do...
Its better to use another windows instead of W8, Its need special drivers ..
I face same problem with Win. 8
You are in safe side don't worry
I think u need only to fastboot erase caches

When you say safe side, do you think I'll get in trouble at the Sprint store? It does say tampered, and unlocked, but the S is on. I'm just going to go with "my brother in law came over last night for the holidays and started messing with my phone. This morning, when I woke up, this is all I can get to." Nothing loads. I'm hoping they will fix it. Otherwise, I'm out $150 for the insurance.
I don't have a win 7 computer, otherwise I would try. This sucks.

Why are you posting in the GSM One forums ?
Sprint HTC one is totally different than these.
If you have flashed a GSM Rom to your Sprint phone your going to have to RUU back to stock to get your partitions repaired.
if fastboot is not working on your windows 8.1 PC it means you hboot is older than 1.55.000 .... try this RUU with your phone in the bootloader screen
http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_..._NV_SPCS_4.38_003_release_335355_signed_2.exe
Edit: your going to need to use fastboot, type this cmd: fastboot oem lock this will relock the bootloader
to accomplish this I suggest an Ubuntu boot CD
I got a similar problem a few days ago, and this is how i solved it. First make sure you have TWRP installed, while in recovery, push the rom into your phone memory. Then go to your phone and click install. Good luck!

OK guys, I'm getting desperate here...
My problem is, I can't flash RUU on my M7 UL unlocked european. All adb and fastboot commands work fine, but when I boot to RUU mode and issue "fastboot flash zip RUU.zip" my laptop restarts... I had some good help from @alray, but it didn't work so any help is apreciated.
My laptop info

Were you able to try with another computer? I'm curious to know if it's only with your laptop...
Might want to try fastboot on the same laptop with a Ubuntu live usb.... I wouldn't be surprised that Win10 is causing all this, I have a lot of problems with others things that worked fine before the update,

I'm waiting for a friend to bring me his W7 laptop to try. I have a W7 computer, but I was never able to get fastboot running on it. It showa something like "daemon out of time" or something. I tried few fixes for that, but it didn't work
..the thread seems to be abandoned, but i stambled on to it
..and thought: for the sake of the ones that look for answers..
in Windows 10, we have been introduced to a new feature:
,by default- it refuses to load unknown or unsigned drivers,
in many cases that is why- we all - have to struggle to set up and reliably
run fastboot on win 10
Digital signature verification can be disabled:
-temporarily - through windows settings
-permanently- via terminal ( it'd be worth searching for a bit )
Edit: this way,or another, this:
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...n/a53ec7ca-bdd3-4f39-a3af-3bd92336d248?auth=1
may be a part of the story- as we know it...
,and one day it surely will be compromised but
till then..
I have two driives on my pc, still keep my Win 7 on one of them
