In fastboot mode open a cmd window where your adb/fastboot folder is and type
fastboot erase cache
Then reboot

Do you have HTC drivers installed?
Which windows version are you using?
When you are in bootloader mode and you connect your device in the USB port, does it change to "fastboot usb"?

There are some conflicts with W8 and security that has to be removed in Windows.
Do you have a custom recovery in the device?

You should push with adb a custom ROM.zip file and flash it.
Or mount a USB stick with an OTG cable and flash it from there. But you have to flash TWRP recovery with the OTG USB method.
To push a custom ROM.zip file while you're in recovery mode (also read here):
copy the ROM.zip to the same folder where your adb/fastboot files are.
open a cmd window from that folder
type "adb push ROM.zip /sdcard"
when finished reboot to your recovery
wipe system, data and caches (DON'T wipe the sd card content)
flash your ROM
If you have problems with adb not recognizing your device try a PC with Windows 7 and USB 2 port, install HTC drivers from here and use the mini-sdk for your adb/fastboot folder.

you can follow this guide for windows 8 problems it works a treat, i know because i had problems with adb on windows 8.

also i would look at downloading the toolkit in android development. don't panic its definitely not bricked. if you can get adb working you can then flash recovery or rom or both

Yes it is, he was trying to prevent you from losing anything on the sd card, since the updated ROM will relocate where the sdcard storage is found.
Although I don't think it is relevant since you most likely have a wiped phone.. Seeing as there is no OS installed.

1)Goto bootlader - > fastmode , and flash custom recovery again.
2) When receive custom recovery, flash rom.
3) Get S-OFF, and only when try to flash RUU, without S-OFF you can't downgrade from 2.19 to 1.28

When he will receive working recovery with sideload support, the adb sideload command will be work fine as there will be a support interface(protocol) from recovery.
Did you relock? What error did you get? Was it the right ruu.

What does your device manager on the laptop show? Try different usb port. stay away from usb 3.0 ports to be safe. sometimes i have to unplug and replug before the phone shows..Also reboot laptop if still dont see it.

Fastboot and ADB are two very different modes.
The phone can be detected in fastboot and not be detected in dab, either due to a driver issue or bad usb cable.

I'm sorry, what do you try to explain to me? I know about these modes.
Please read carefully dialogs and why my phrase was told.
At a topic starter works fastboot, but adb doesn't work, ADB and NOT WILL fully work without OS on phone. he tries something to do with phone using adb, way in anywhere in case of its situation.

Use USB-OTG and flash a ROM using that.
If u can get to the bootloader try flashing a new recovery. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

ok so fastboot is working, as suggested before post a "fastboot getvar all" (remove IMEI and s/n).
If sideload isn't working you can use "adb push", but first thing is to reflash custom recovery just in case it's corrupted.
so download CWM or TWRP (from the threads in xda), then
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
-> enter RECOVERY
then
adb push <name of rom>.zip /sdcard/ (this will take anywhere between 5 to 15minutes and not show progress, eventually it should come back with "success")
then
install zip in recovery, and choose the <name of rom>.zip and install it.

[Q] i really need help!!!

hi everyone
last week i flashed a KK rom, and i saw in recovery "can't access internal sorage" when i wanted to backup the rom. BUT i could download and flash other roms from the phone.plus, fastboot was not showing anymore "fastboot usb" but "fastboot ac" only, and my PC shows "unknown device" and doesnt see the phone.
i downloaded another rom, and to install it, i wiped data, cache, dalvik, and BY MISTAKE i wiped "internal storage".
and the result is.....: no rom inside the phone, i can't boot because i wiped system, i am still "fastboot ac", so i can't use adb commands....
i tried several cables, computers, tried to reinstall drivers etc....
my one is unusable ::// ....if some experts have an idea, i'd be fan

i'm worried about something: i flashed a KK rom, that i downloaded in my htc one, and after i installed it and wanted to store the backup of the rom in twrp, it said "no storage available". when i came back home, my phone was not recognized by my pc, whereas it was before.
thats where it comes from i think.
i'm a heavy flasher since i had the nexus one!

Help. I stupidly erased internal storage now don't know what to do

I'm a dumb ass-I erased internal storage and now there's nothing on my phone to flash. I'm still in recovery (TWRP), not sure what to do next. Tried to connect my Moto X to the computer but nothing shows up. I installed Moto Device Manager and still nothing. Any ideas for this dumb noob?

I don't know if you are like me, but if you are then you need to calm down first, otherwise more mistakes might happen.
Nothing bad has happened, yeah it was kinda stupid to erase the internal memory but so what, everyone does stupid stuffs :laugh:
Just download the ROM, whatever your carrier based ROM is, from here, http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0
Then open ADB and follow the instructions here, Method 1 is recommended, http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-moto-x-return-to-100-stock-using-t2446515.
If you have drivers installed on your PC, which I suppose you have, then as soon as you go into bootloader mode, your device will appear on ADB.
That's it.

Without Philz recovery OTG is not available. I assume you have no system to boot? You wiped memory after you wiped data & before you flashed. RSD & XML restore time.
Does your twrp have USB mount? I think not.

From twrp choose reboot to Bootloader which is "RSD" mode/ap-fastboot already.

Damn, sorry, edited the post. Your phone is not recognised when it's in recovery, which is TWRP, but it might be (should be actually) recognised when you enter bootloader mode (vol down+power), that is if you have the drivers installed.

Oh! okay, let me try that.
Are you sure I should reboot into bootloader? When I choose that in TWRP it says, "There's no OS, are you sure you want to reboot?"
Right, same results.
Philz cwm recovery could have saved you. It has OTG & USB mount. You could have mounted internal memory from recovery to your PC/Mac then DL a ROM to your now empty internal SD then unmount & flash ROM.
Get it?

Ignore that. In any case you should always be able to enter bootloader mode. It doesn't require an OS, at least that's what I think.
You can just hold on to vol down and power for eight seconds from TWRP manually, that should enter bootloader mode anyway.

There's a flashable recovery zip HERE. Flash that in TWRP, then reboot to recovery. Then hopefully your PC will recognize it so you can copy a rom over. That's all I can think of ATM.

Just asking, you are opening ADB and then can't see the device right? I mean I am sure you know that you won't see the device just from OS, Windows, Mac whatever you use.
I mean you are typing this right?

windows 8.1 has a driver problem on a really old hboot 1.44
and it was only a problem for a very few. The phone was updated to hboot 1.54 just weeks after the release of windows 8.1 and it works fine.
If you are on hboot 1.44 and you only have use of a windows 8.1 PC their is a driver hack that will work and get your phone working long enough to update the hboot.
File > http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2500592&d=1389122072
Instructions
I repeat this is a REALLY DIRTY solution that may harm your system, personal data, hardware and/or cat.
Here are the steps:
0. Have a Linux or Windows LiveCD just in case something goes wrong
1. Download and extract files from attachment
2. Navigate to the folder corresponding to your system version (x86 = 32-bit, x64 = 64 bit)
3. Right-click franken-usb.bat and click "Run as Administrator"
5. Wait for it to finish and reboot the system. If everything went fine, you will boot your system successfully
6. Install ADB/Fastboot drivers just like on Windows 8
7. Connect your phone in Fastboot mode to your USB 2.0 port and check if it works
8. Enjoy and wait for official fix
How does it work:
It's not any kind of magic - it just replaces Windows 8.1's usbhub.sys and usbport.sys with Windows 8's ones.
Old files don't check for BOS descriptor so Fastboot can work.
Script updated - it should now actually copy the files but please double check if files were copied to C:\Windows\system32\Drivers!
Hope it helps you!
Regards!

flash custom rom for fun
CMD says file is too big when Flashbooting... Help?
First, forgive title error, I know it's Fastboot lol... Wow so I am so close, yet so far away. I have successfully unlocked boot loader. I have downloaded all the necessary files. I have followed You-Tube guides to the word... Yet when I get down to the final steps, errors! I am stuck at this point... On CMD screen, when doing the "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" it will not work. Kicks back an error that basically says twrp.img is too big and my phone is rejecting the download. Went and found a smaller file that should be small enough, yet still the same error. Please help me! I am so frustrated after hours of working on this. Thanks!!

OK you have a t-mobile phone that's a good thing
Boot the phone to the bootloader by shutting it down then holding volume down and hit power
now with the phone in fastboot USB / hooked to the PC
type fastboot devices
you should see your phones serial no displayed
now just type fastboot flash recovery with a space at the end
now just drag TWRP 2.6.3.3 into the command window and hit enter. this will flash twrp
now type fastboot erase cache
followed by fastboot reboot-bootloader
now you can enter recovery and use adb to push or sideload a rom to your phone
Instructions
Unlock the bootloader at HTCDEV
then from fastboot USB
Flash recovery TWRP 2.6.3.3
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then sideload this Rom to your phone
http://www.androidrevolution.org/downloader/download.php?file=Android_Revolution_HD-One_81.0.zip
TWRP / Advanced / ADB Sideload - swipe to sideload
From PC adb / fastboot folder
you use
adb sideload name-of-rom.zip
make sure the rom is in the same folder as adb / fastboot

You should note that you windows is not showing the file extensions of your files in the sdk folder that's why you get the error when you rename files twrp.img is actually trwp.img.img
you just can't see it so be careful when renaming files and adding the extensions, their already their just hidden
Thanks!
