Hi,
I have spent the last 6 hours trying to downgrade my 2.05 phone to 1.31.
Gold card, hack for legend, etc all works and went by smoothly. The major bump is getting the damn 1.31 to install. I keep getting error 171 and 170 saying there is a USB error; connect cable. I am running 32bit Windows 7.
- I have downloaded the RUU twice, it is the right size and works.
- I have tried the unplug/replug/no unplug and executing the RUU but it fails and gives the 170/171 error again.
- I have downloaded the whole SDK/Eclipse/USB driver and tried using them instead for ADB
- I have tried updating through HBOOT but getting error 170 again
- I have (this is getting repetitive) tried the unRevoked universal HBOOT usb driver but no success
- I tried installing HTCSync drivers but fail once again
- I have done countless reboots of both the computer and phone between drivers, correctly uninstalled them with device manager, etc
I don't know what else to do and noticed a ton of people had the same issue but solved it using with the above steps. None works for me.
Any ideas? I'll donate beer money at some future date if this can be sorted out. I need to root and get Froyo cos its just too slow right now.
Believe it or not, it is upgrading now! To whoever has the same problem, just follow the above steps, spend six hours scratching your head, keep the phone over 30%, and there you go. No idea why it worked! Case closed.
i had to go through similar experience! usb is recognized without any trouble when the rooting is done through linux / mac
Yeah it's weird, doesn't seem to be any logic to it. I got it all working now anyways and running froyo with 767 MHz overclock. After figuring out how yo use rom manager, clockwork flash and getting gapps on there I am never returning to sense. Stock android is just so much more streamlined, fast, and no-frills. I even like the keyboard better. Yay.
a friend of mine went out and got the HTC One, we rooted it and put on a nightly of CM 10.2 - and the phone worked relatively well, very well in fact, except the MMS/Group messaging was causing the phone to lockup and reboot. we've had a group message going on for an eternity involving a few of our friends, so many times a day this would happen.
not knowing what to do, i suggested he download a new rom, the stable or the latest nightly, and erase everything, and reinstall. somewhere in the process he erased everything - including the new rom, the phone is completely blank and in a boot loop. we can boot into fastboot or into the recovery.
and, we are Mac guys, except for an older Vista laptop i have. (to give you an idea on it's age, it has a 25gb hdd).
when we had first rooted it, i used MTP to copy the new rom over to the phone. the stock rom was still in place, the xfer went fine. but now there's no rom on the device, MTP doesn't work, the computer sees it as a 'One' but has no driver, and i'm at a bit of a loss.
i have tried to install the HTC SyncManager to get the phone to connect to my Vista machine with no luck, every time i connect Windows tries to look for a driver and it fails. somewhere in the forums i found a 'universal driver kit' which said it covered the HTC One (called it a Google Nexus Device, but recognized it at least).
however, my admittedly weak knowledge of fastboot and adb has proven not enough to get a new rom on the phone. i don't know if it's drivers or my lacking skillset, and i'd love any suggestions on taking a completely wiped HTC One with Koush's CWM on it, and getting a rom on it.
thanks.

1. Download Parallels Desktop for Mac & a copy of Windows 7 x86 (torrents available)
2. Install Android SDK to Windows C drive (exactly to C:/)
3. Download the AT&T RUU here to C:/. (The RUU is an .exe you run with the phone connected to pc in recovery to flash it.) Note: you may run into errors once or twice flashing it, but keep trying and it should eventually work.
4. Connect phone to pc and boot into recovery
5. Run the RUU you downloaded
6. After you finish the flash, reboot your phone if it doesn't automatically.
7. Your phone should now have stock AT&T running.
I hope this helps. -Mike
well, as the title says. Its been like this for a few months now, so I decided reinstall the ROM. I've tried different ROMs and every time it shows up as SM-N900s (Galaxy Note 3) in windows. However, on the phone under settings, it says HTC One. On the newest insertcoin ROM it came up in windows as HTC ONE on first boot, but after that, it went back to being the SM-N900s. As well, I always make sure to do a full wipe before I install a new ROM. I checked the build.prop and it list the model ID as HTC ONE so I have no clue what could be going on here. maybe someone here has a suggestion? I'm thinking maybe this is a possible cause of my mediaserver problem that I just couldn't fix, since it happened in every rom I've tried. phone is rooted, unlocked, and S-OFF.

Its most likely a driver issue on your computer, nothing to do with the phone imo. Uninstall these Samsung drivers and install HTC drivers.
didn't work. removed all traces of samsung drivers and software from the drive and the registry, but still comes up as SM-N900s. I Don't get it. There must be some root cause that's creating all the strange (though minor) issues on my phone.
@bbmaster123 install the latest HTC sync manager after uninstalling every older driver version.. do a full reset if that's possible. Do you end up having this problem with every custom Rom that you flash?
It's not a widely reported issue which leads me to thinking that it's more about your computer than your phone.
Still says sm-n900s after installing sync manager. While I haven't tried many custom roms, it still said smn900s in all the rims I've tried, regardless of kitkat or lollipop. I'll try using my brothers laptop tomorrow when he comes to visit and let you know how it goes

See question 2 here about how to force the HTC driver, this is a driver problem, the 2nd link below is another guy who recently had the same problem.

Thanks, I never would have found that!
My phone already comes up as My HTC in device manager when running normally. in any other mode it comes up as android composite usb. It does try and fail to install some driver during boot though, however it only lasts for about 3 seconds, so I have no time to install anything. as well, fastboot boot recovery.img never worked for me anyway, so instead I always just flashed my recoveries. So I can't get my computer to trigger that driver installer besides rebooting the phone, unless you know a way. But yeah, you may be right about it being my pc and not my phone (for this problem anyway).

Ignore that HTC MTP driver thing that pops up on you computer whilst your phone is booting, we all get that.
fastboot boot recovery command no longer works unless you are on HBOOT 1.44 I think was the last time it worked, only way to do it now is to flash recovery files.

I don't think my phone even shipped with hboot 1.44. Or maybe it did. what the hell do I know. I guess then I'll have to wait until I can access my brother's pc later today to test it out
Well, turns out you were right all along. its my computer's fault. I guess I'll just have to mess around with the drivers. Thanks for the help! Too bad though, I was hoping that was the root cause of all the other annoying issues on my phone... oh well I guess I can live with unlocking my phone to change songs!

Get yourself into device manager and add/remove programs, and remove everything to do with your HTC, the trouble is, windows is a pain for still remembering and self installing the driver again upon reboot, so before you restart your computer, unplug your phone, restart your computer, and look up or get a driver cache cleaner for you PC, run that then restart again, now try reinstall the drivers, drivers firtst ie HTC Sync Manager and then plug your phone in.
I finally fixed it just by uninstalling HTC driver installer and plugging my phone back in. windows right away installed:
USB Composite device
HTC One
My HTC
usb mass storage device
HTC Sync manager serial interface
HTC Android Phone USB Device
I probably am going to fresh install windows anyway, been meaning to for a while, but at least I got this one solved. thanks for the help seanie!
I guess I should make new individual threads for my other phone problems, eh? I got the mediaserver battery drain issue, ACR doesn't record anymore for some reason, and the music controls on my lock screen stopped functioning.

I guess your on Lollipop, The media server issue can be sorted by going into settings - developer options - use NuPlayer (experimental), uncheck it and restart, not sure about the other issues, but it may be worth reflashing your rom and starting fresh.
As for re-installing Windows, prepare for Windows 10 or download the beta of it, when it goes RTM you can use your windows 7 or 8 key to activate it, and it totally rocks, ive been using it as my main driver now for 3 months.
I'm running kitkat (I like it better) and that option isn't under developer options. The only options I've changed under there are enabling usb debugging(but of course) and force gpu rendering. also using dalvik instead of ART, since in kitkat it was buggy, from what I've heard. I do want to also start a fresh install of the same rom, but I just haven't found the time. I did try reinstalling the rom and restoring my data with Titanium Backup, but it just ended up restoring the problem too. For now, I've just been using system tuner to kill mediaserver right after boot, and the problem goes away until next boot.
I have windows 10 build 10130 on another drive and have been testing it since the first TP, and I agree, its pretty sweet, but I'm not 100% sure yet that I'm gonna switch over to it as my main OS on my main PC. I will be definitely updating my windows 8.1 recording computer to Windows 10 as soon as it goes RTM.

Not heard of the media server bug on KitKat soz.
Still don't like the Windows 10 start menu live tiles, but Start10 fixes that.
I've been using classic start, but I always have to keep switching back to the stock start to launch modern apps, which I only barely use, just stuff like calculator and settings

bit off topic really, but see the picts below:
cool, then I'll have to give it a try. Much more like the win7 start menu than win10's stock menu.
I have tried different USB drivers to work with my S4 phone, but Android Studio does not recognize my phone. I make an app, try to run it on my phone, but my phone is not listed. I have Studio installed on my desktop and everything is fine there, is shows my phone. I used the same USB file, but I just cannot get it to work. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
I used the .44,.49, and .59, but none of those worked. I have the .49 on my desktop which works fine. I tried to use it for my laptop, but still nothing. I have uninstalled, rebooted, and re-installed till I am blue in the face. I would like to get my laptop working so I can use it at work on my breaks.
Thanks again in advance.
