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.

That is what I thought, but I was trying other things since I was having issues.

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:

Yeah, I've got an Asus G75VX. Four USB 3.0 ports and a Thunderbolt port, but if I have a device that doesn't play nicely with them I'm SOL.

Thanks everyone for your help! My phone now thinks its a Google Play Edition!

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.

otherwise... sorry... you need a windows... I did a research but didn't find any appropriate drivers..

[Q] Stuck in Fastboot and can only access hard reset which goes back to fastboot

Hello,
I know there are a ton of "stuck in fastboot" threads but I've spent hours going through them and none of them seem to be what's happening to me. Or maybe all of them combined would... anyway, I would greatly appreciate some help as I'm at my witt's end. I've even somehow managed to screw up a dual boot of Ubuntu on my windows machine, but that's something I'll fix for myself later
Anyway, here's all the info I can think of and what I have done so far.
A month or two I rooted my phone. I never flashed a custom rom or anything. I altered a couple settings but that's it. My phone has worked perfectly this entire time.
Yesterday there was an OTA. I didn't even intend to accept it, I just got the notification and then my phone shut off and went to fastboot. That's pretty much where I've been ever since.
Rebooting gets me to fastboot. Attempting recovery mode gets me to the hard reset screen but not recovery. Trying to hard reset just goes back to fastboot. Download mode does not come up.
Windows sees my phone but disables it because of an error. Attempting to reinstall drivers does nothing. Ubuntu doesn't acknowledge that the phone is there under the regular terminal. If I run the fastboot tool it wont list it but it will respond to a couple commands. I can reboot... into fastboot. Anything else gets the "waiting for device" notification. My device just says "processing commands" but nothing happens.
So that's where I'm at right now. That's the condensed version of the last 18 hours but I think it contains most of the relavent information. I would greatly appreciate any assistance. I'm lucky to have this phone and I would be very upset if I lost it.
Thank you.

Did you try and install the drivers from the link i posted? I would download pdanet for the drivers if i were you. You won't be able to fastboot the boot.img if your pc won't recognize your phone.

No problem. I've got my phone shut off to save battery because I'm under the impression that it won't charge in fastboot and I didn't figure repeating that would be good for it. I'm still trying to restore Windows. I'm not used to being limited to a single computer but without my phone and my desktop currently in another state I'm a bit frustrated.
Anyway, I appreciate the help and will keep trying. I'll update if anything happens.

That's what I'm working on now, I screwed up the dual boot and can't get back into windows. Okay. I'm just going to grab my brother's laptop and use it so I can get this done. I can fix my computer later.
I'm going to start at the beginning of the tutorial since it'll be on a different computer. We'll see how it goes.
Edit: Okay, back to windows and this is what I have going on. I've installed the drivers for my phone, set up the sdk and gone into cmd but even with the drivers Windows is telling me that it has disabled my phone because it is malfunctioning (error code 43). Therefore no matter what I do it will not acknowledge the phone or communicate with it. If I try doing anything it just hangs on "waiting for device".

FIXED!
WOOHOO!!
It's working again! I'm not sure exactly how I did it but I rebooted my computer and suddenly the phone said "processing commands" so even though it still wasn't listed as a device I ran boot.img just to see what happened and it's back up and running just like nothing ever happened.
Thank you so much!

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

Ive tried to use flashtool and other programs to reflash the software but sadly it isnt recognized with windows on any of my machines (yes i have the drivers installed) It shows up in emma and reveals the imei but im unsure if thats the actual IMEI. I can get the phone into flash and fastboot mode. But it simply comes up as Android with a warning sign telling me my drivers for it arent installed correctly (which they are to my knowledge). I am very aware that many people are having this issue and im curious as to see if its hardware or software related. My phone is in flawless shape besides a few minor scratches. I can provide any more info if needed please help me thanks!

Just install the android platform tools there for adb and fastboot
The drivers are already integrated in Linux [emoji14]

I've got as fastboot installed now. I put the phone in fastboot mode and I typed in fastboot devices and it's showing
"???????? fastboot"
Idk what to do from here I'm not sure if it's recognizing the phone or not

Did you replace your number by ???? ?
Or doesn't really show ???? In the terminal?
I mean your phone is now recognized and you can flash which stock you want with newflasher and xperifirm from XDA.

It appears as a bunch of question marks as stated above. Also when I type the usual things such as fastboot reboot recovery it says unknown reboot target recovery. And when I try to do as reboot recovery it says error no devices or emulators found. But I'll try and install new flasher to see if it detects it

Start newflasher with sudo
OR with the udev package you may install before

I can't seem to figure out how to get new flasher to run on linux. I downloaded it then extracted it but when I click on the .exe file it just brings me to another sub folder with a bunch of data that's confusing. I don't know how to open it or get it to work at all

Use the Linux version

GOOD NEWS!!
I was actually able to get it to work on windows with newflasher. Turns out that it turns on fine now. But there's a big issue. Whenever I shut it off or restart the phone it goes back into the bootloops until I reflash the software again. Then it will turn on fine and work indefinitely until it's shut off. Do you know what might be causing this issue or how I could fix it?
good news is I'm making progress lol

You could try to do a fullwipe with fastboot -w

Ok so basically it had a Google lock so I bypassed that and after the bypass it appears to be working normally? I shut it down a few times and turned it back on and it booted up in under 15 seconds! Hopefully it stays that way and I didn't jynx it but all I can do is hope! But for now it is fixed!!! I'm very happy right now as I got this phone for only $33

Oh no it's not stolen. The person who had it before updated it and got the issue so they sold it off. The imei is clear with no signs of it being stolen. Hope this clears some things up!
