[Q] fastboot & windows 8.1

Hey Folks, anyone here using windows 8.1? I have no problem running adb, but when I boot the m7 into fastboot, windows says there is a problem with my usb device. I've tried uninstalling htc sync and reinstalling, no dice.
Any thoughts?

Yep. It's a known issue. ADB doesn't work with 8.1. Only solutions right now are to either downgrade back to 8, or wait for the final version of 8.1.
Freaking annoying.

Kinda sucks I have to use a really low end laptop running 7 to use adb commands. At least I rarely use them though...

ADB works fine for me in 8.1, its the HTC drivers for fastboot that are the problem. Anyway, I gave up and just used my Linux box, so I think we'll just have to wait for HTC to update their drivers.

Windows 8.1 + HTC One

Hello,
I'm having a headache since I upgraded to 8.1. I can see my htc phone without any problem in windows and communicate with ADB. But once I get to recovery or fastboot, the USB will make an error saying it failed enumeration. Because of that, it don't even try to install drivers. What can I do to fix that?
This is using USB 2.0 ports since my board don't have 3.0.
Thanks

Tried, even tried multiple version of HTC Sync (with and without sync installed). I even used own google ADB driver. Problem is, it's not HTC driver problem since the USB Port is having a "Device enumeration failed", which is a USB failure, not a driver failure. Meaning the device cannot be identified, thus can't know what driver should be used. I tried to force it but windows won't let me.

I searched extensively for a fix for this problem and I honestly don't think there is one yet. Eventually I gave up and installed the generic drivers on my old laptop that's still running Windows 7 and was able to adb and fastboot on it just fine. I've found several driver related issues with both Windows 8 and 8.1 so I think I'll be keeping the laptop as a legacy device for awhile just for situations like this!

I had the same problem, ended up using my phone on a Windows 7 PC.

I don't know if this will help, but I'll leave this for you to read through: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256359
Maybe there's a solution there for you. (I'm on Win 7 so never tried any of it)

I had this at first but as soon as I updated my firmware, the problem went away. Though I have ubuntu on my old laptop which I will keep now for situations like these because when I tried to install an old ruu through rebootRUU, my phone wasn't found anymore after the first flash, but saved it with my laptop.

Burn yourself a Linux (Ubuntu) live CD or install it side by side with windows 8.1.

For fastboot in windows 8.1 you need the 3.62 firmware without a modified hboot. If you have firmware with red text removal or the dark bootloader version then fastboot will not see the device.
You should also download the latest HTC drivers then everything should work.

ah that's why, I have the modified hboot.
As for install linux in side by side or live linux, no thanks, this is not what I'm looking for. I won't install another OS just for that, thus why I'm looking for how to make it work in Windows 8.1, not how to make it work on my computer with any OS.
I have latest HTC drivers, but modified hboot. I hope someone came up with a fix for that because it's very annoying. Good thing I still have one pc on windows 7 and it will stay this way for now since it's the only computer that can see my phone.

I was having the same issues neither the usb 2.0/3.0 worked. But after I installed the latest HTC sync from their website everything works on W8.1
If some one else doesn't I'll post the drivers when my work day is over. So not anytime soon.

Here is the missing USB driver that was not loading correctly before I updated firmware to hboot 1.55. Had to flash that firmware on my old Samsung netbook under Windows 7, after that Windows 8.1 loaded the driver and fastboot works ever since:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/1fvlo16jn81dpf3/HTCDriver_4.8.0.002.exe

You need to download Intel drivers and scrap the windows ones...
Link with instructions in post... : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2510682

this is for usb 3.0, not for usb 2.0. I already checked anyway and intel didn't make any usb driver for my board, they only made 3.0 ones, which my board doesn't have.

Had the same issue, in the end I had to partition my drive and dual boot Windows 7. It's a ***** but I couldn't find a single fix on 8.1 after dicking around with it for 3 days straight.

PC and Mac does not recognize fastboot mode [PARTLY FIXED]

Hi all
At the moment I am trying to update my HTC One's recovery so I can install Android 4.4 ROM's, although it seems that this won't happen that easy for me.
As usual I wanted to flash the recovery.img in fastboot over adb, unfortunately, my PC doesn't seem to recognize the device when it's in fastboot mode, while it did worked before.
I've been looking around on the internet and the XDA forums for a possible solution, because it seems to be a common problem.
Unfortunarely, none of the possible solutions seem to work! Installing drivers, tried USBDeview, removing drivers, trying USB3.0 port, and I even tried a Mac system, with the same results.
adb works just fine when the device is booted in Android, but in fastboot mode, it's not recognizing the device anymore, this happens on my Windows 8.1 PC, and also on my Mac.
It worked before on Windows 8, but it seems it stopped working between the time when I upgraded to 8.1, but as I said, it doesn't work on Mac either, and I also tried a few possible solutions for this issue on Windows 8.1 (which is common), but it all didn't made any sense.
Right now, I have no idea what could solve this issue.
I hope anyone could help me.

windows 8.1 does break fastboot it will work on windows 8 but not 8.1!
the newer hboots, 1.55+ or the 1.54 that was included with the 4.4 GPE update do work on windows 8.1. but of course to update hboot you have to have working fastboot access.
you may have missed something when setting up fastboot on your mac. I haven't worked with adb or fastboot on mac so I can't offer much help there.
best bet is if you can get access to someone's windows 7 machine or just spin up a VM

Thank you for your reply.
So you are telling me it should work on Windows 8 but not on 8.1?
Because on my Macbook I also have Windows 8 running in a VM, and that doesn't work either.

why not try windows 7?

Well, I think I will be left with the same result, since it worked fine on Windows 8 before... And it should work on Mac too, right?
Isn't there any other way to flash the new recovery without going into fastboot?

I've been able to flash the recovery via TWRP Manager from the Playstore
The fastboot issue isn't fixed yet, but I can atleast enjoy Kitkat

Is any one able to use fastboot with Windows 8 yet?

It still doesn't recognise my device no matter what I do, done the whole thing people have said of installing a certain driver manually but nothing works. I had to just use an old Windows 7 machine before but now that's gone my only option is Windows 8 :\

Do you mean windows 8.1? I never had a problem with windows 8 using the htc sync drivers.

Both i just cannot get it to work...
Unless there is a version that works with an OS on Raspberry Pi I have no other options.

nope, tried the guide of changing the inf files for the usb 3 drivers etc but to no avail..even vmware wouldnt work due to the actual hardware still not being able to pass the data on the usb 3 bus

Tried a Laptop using Windows 8 as that is all I could find and it doesn't work on that either :\ Bit annoying..

Weird. I just installed the latest htc sync (for the drivers) then un-installed it again. For windows 8, it worked for all bootloaders wheras windows 8.1 only recognised fastboot using hboot 1.55/1.56.
Have you tried removing all drivers which may conflict (google for instructions) , re-installing htc sync drivers, plugging your device into the pc whilst the drivers install then unplugging your device and rebooting the pc.
Of course don't forget to have usb-debugging ticked in developer options.

Maybe it hates Haswell.

Dude it works perfectly well on my Windows 8.1 PC. Its Ivy Bridge though. Have u installed HTC Sync Manager and drivers??

Hboot 1.44 and 1.54 dont work with Windows 8 and 8.1

Nope reinstalled Windows 8 again and nothing :\ It sucks.

I spent a couple days searching for a solution, including installing unsigned drivers, using intel's usb3 driver, etc. nothing worked. I get a DEVICE FAILED ENUMERATION whether i was on usb 2 or 3 running windows 8.1.
I was lucky enough to have an old laptop lying around that still had windows 7 on it and it worked like a champ. If you don't have one, might be worth trying out a windows7 VM?

Fastboot works for me on Windows 8.1 x64. I think I used the latest Windows7x64 HTC one drivers . You can Google it and I'm sure you will find something. Hope it helps

I am running windows 8.1 x64 as well, though on an old Core i7-875K Lynnfield box with an Asus motherboard. I started with the HTC drivers, but I could never get windows to even recognize the device in fastboot mode. Glad to hear its working for some.

Mind you I never actually used "official" driver software from HTC. I just used the manually install/update method where you point to the downloaded driver files.
I have a msi 970g46 board and both usb 2 and 3 slots worked fine for me after installing drivers.

you were right!!

I'm on Windows 8.1 with HBoot 1.55, its already got ARHD 3.62 on it and adb just wont see my phone. Windows itself does no problem. I have the latest TWRP installed as well as the latest HTC Sync drivrs that it asked me to install when I plugged the phone in.
Is there any other method to get this to work? I only have access to one PC.

[Q] ADB & fastboot on Windows 8.1 x64?

Hello guys, I'm trying to get ADB & fastboot working on Windows 8.1 64 bit but no luck so far.. I tried various drivers and whatnot all of them failed, some even broke my USB 3.0 ports.. Could someone who got this to work provide correct drivers for USB 3.0 or HTC One?
Thanks.

I've had crap luck on getting ADB to work on regular windows 8. I guess it's a luck thing. PM me is you find any way. there are various threads around mentioning how you can do it for windows 8 devices but none have worked for me.

The only for sure way to get fastboot working on windows 8.1 is to update your hboot to 1.55.000 and up or the hboot 1.54.000 from the GPE from the Android 4.4 update. Once your on these hboot fastboot and adb work fine in windows 8.1 x86 or x64.
the dark bootloader files here are all updated to the newer version hboot

You need S-off for these to work
