[Q] Fastboot waiting for device? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My htc one is plugged in, in fastboot, and says fastboot usb but fastboot on my computer is saying waiting for devices. What can i do to fix this issue?

I just had this problem and fixed it on my Windows 8 machine.
The culprit seems to be a Microsoft USB driver; fix is to replace the Microsoft with the Intel version.
Follow this guide here and you should be all set.
Good luck!

Are you trying to get the device token via Hasoon's kit? I might be able to help given more details

Via command line or via Hasoon's kit?
If I were you, I'd reboot to the OS and then see if you can ADB a command to get to the bootloader. If that doesn't work, then maybe you don't have ADB installed properly?

ADB issues. Hangs on < waiting for device >

So I'm trying to flash the Google Play Edition RUU on my device. I have S-Off. When I try to read my CID, it says < waiting for device > and gets no further. I completely deleted my sdk and reinstalled it because I had read sometime this would be caused by needing to update your sdk. It does the same thing when I try to writecid. Does anyone know why it would hang like this when trying to read or write my CID. I'm running ARHD 13.3 with TWRP (don't know what version number) if that would have anything to do with this.
EDIT: Something else I noticed that may or may not be relevant. When I reboot into the bootloader, my computer says device not recognized.
Try using this guide.
Seems you don't have the driver installed.
However, did you try fastboot command in fastboot?
To use fastboot you need to
Fastboot reboot-bootloader
To use adb you need to be in recovery or live in the os.

I tried what that guide said prior to posting this thread. However, upon re-reading it, I think I have discovered my issue. My laptop only has USB 3.0 ports, and they said they could not get it to work over USB 3.0. I will set up the SDK on my wife's computer and use a USB 2.0 port and see if that resolves the issue. I'll investigate to see if what I'm trying to accomplish can be done on ChromeOS too, cause I'd rather use my Chromebook than take over my wife's computer.

To use ADB with USB 3.0 ports, follow this guide first. Once you finish reinstalling your usb 3.0 drivers with this guide ABD will work properly! :good:

Hi, Yes of course, its a great guide and i did excatly whay they said to my laptop, and i could make it work only for a few minutes, after that the system freezed ( i.e no applications were opening and the system couldn't perform any operation other than right click and left click, couldn't turn off the system even and couldn't open the task manager too ) ,luckily before the system freezed, i quickly changed the kernel of my phone. Then I had no other go other than reverting the USB settings to Microsoft driver.

How much does a replacement HTC One cost?

Tried rooting my phone, have never done it before (really stupid on my part) and now I can't even get into the phone, all I can do is access a recovery mode and a TWRP mode whatever that is. Looked up how to unroot it but my Mac doesn't even recognize my phone so it's pointless. Anyways, how much does it cost to replace a "broken" HTC One? Is it the price of an unlocked one or what? I'm currently on year 1 of my 3 year plan..

Well I've done the installation of fastboot and adb on my Mac (found a guide for it) but there's a step in the guide that requires my Mac to recognize my phone. It doesn't because I don't think "usb debugging" is on. No idea how to do that.

I don't know if htc sync works for Mac.. but if it does install it... there are the drivers included...
otherwise... sorry... you need a windows... I did a research but didn't find any appropriate drivers.. Sorry... there is no other option than using a windows... maybe try uninstalling the drivers manually (if that works on mac) and plug in your phone again and let's see if the drivers get installed automatically...

Fastboot problem Windows 8.1

Hi,
I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1.
It does not recognize the fastboot mode in my Nexus One.
When the phone is connected in fastboot mode (bootloader), Windows gives the prompt 'The last USB device you connected to your computer malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it.'
Is there a problem with my phone?
What can be done to rectify this?
What fastboot drivers would be required to be installed?
Thanks in advance.

I triend on Windows 7 and same message appears
I also have this issue. I keep trying to update/re-install the driver but it always reverts back to ADB Interface > HTC Bootloader (when looking at device manager). I have re-installed the Official Google Nexus Drivers, my Nexus 9, 10 and Galaxy Nexus all work fine.
And to be clear, it's only fastboot that is the issue. ADB works:
Code:
adb devices
yields the devices ID and
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
reboots into HBoot.
Also, to be clear, I just upgraded to Windows 10 and all of the devices listed above work still!
So any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise I might try replacing the logicboard in this bad boy.

I'm experiencing the same problem on Windows 10 with a Google Nexus One Did you ever resolve it toonhead85 ?
I'm thinking about buying an old windows 7 laptop on ebay just to be able to keep working on the phone. I just can't let go.
anyone found the solution about this error message? I'm trying to give life to my old N1 and I can't see to find a fix for this error, and I really dont want to downgrade my notebook system just for that...

YES!!!
So, using VirtualBox I installed Windows 7 and this. No problems at all. I guess this means that there is some incompatibility with Windows 10 and Nexus One. I was able to remove BlackRose and install STOCK 2.3.6, which is what I wanted to do in the first place.
Best of Luck!

Sorry to pull this thread up from the grave, but how did you get the virtual Windows 7 to see the device at all? I've only been able to get it to pick up devices with working drivers in my main Windows install.

[Q] fastboot failing - waiting for device

Hello,
Ive Google play edition installed and TWRP recovery, S-off - I bought the phone on ebay and was going to sell it again but the guy wanted stock rom. So I checked this guide htc1guru.com/guides/return-stock-guide/] and started following it, it worked till flash RUU.exe and after that I received waiting for device. Now when I try fastboot command I always get waiting for device. I tried everything from reinstalling drivers, another ports, another cable but without luck. Any advice how to proceed and get the stock ROM ?
Thank you

my first guess is that you are using windows 8.1 with hboot 1.44? If yes then find a windows 7 computer.

When I enter in fastboot mode I get Unknown USB device - device failed enumeration and so on.
Is there any fix to this or just to get rid of damn Windows 8.1 ?

Simplest solution is to use windows 7, linux or macOS. Windows 8.1 will not work with hboot 1.44. There is a fix somewhere but I dont know, never tried myself.

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
