I have never unlock, root, or flash rom before on any android phone I owned. However, I have been researching to do so with my Sprint HTC One and after reading articles and watching videos later I hit the first dump of unlocking the phone.
I am using HTC One Toolkit v3.1 and followed the procedure to try to unlock my phone. I installed HTC Driver and register on the HTC Dev. Then when I tried to "Get Token ID", ran the command and it shows the device is offline. I did turn the debug on the phone. I am not sure if there is anything else I need to do to let my computer to recognize the phone.
Phone: HTC One android 4.3 sense 5
Computer: Window 7 64 bit
Please someone shine some light for me if possible :laugh:

hey everyone, my apologies if im posting in the wrong section but i need help! i just got a vivid today with the 4.0.3 ota update. completely stock. not rooted or bl unlocked. ive been trying forever to get my comp to recognize my phone when in usb debugging and it keeps saying i need a disk to install the android drivers. did a command prompt and confirmed i have adb. restarted my phone and comp multiple times and still getting the same message! any ideas..? thanks for any input and the possible noob question. ive uploaded what keeps popping up
If you install HTC Sync you will get teh drivers. You may also be able to try the All in One Tool at the top of this forum, I see it has an install driver option (I've never used it).
i did try the all in one tools but when i clicked on install drivers nothing happened. ill install htc sync and try. thanks

Just a heads up for future reference, when using the All in one tool w/ vista/w7 you gotta run it as administrator.

Hi guys! Congrats for doing such good work!
I have a HTC Dream (T-mobile G1) which was locked at T mobile. I purchased a code online
and I unlocked it to all networks. The phone had the 1.6 Android version but I don't remember
the radio version. I downgraded it to RC29 in order to root it and install some newer version like
FROYO. The thing is the following, before I did all this I FORGOT TO TICK THE USB DEBUGGING
And now it turns on and I am on welcome screen (Tap the android for registering....)(when I have a sim card)
or no sim card and that is it (when it has no sim in it).
The problem is that I cannot install any update.zip or do any recovery etc...But I am thinking that I probably
do not have root access yet in order to do any of these. The problem now is that I stuck and I don't know what else
to do. Is there any way I can turn it all back the way it was? Or try something else?
Plus when I connect the phone to the pc it doesn't show up like a G1, it shows up as an Android device
which leads adb not to see it under devices! I tried all ways out there to make my pc recognize it as G1, but nothing.
Could anyone help? Thanking you in advance, and sorry for the long message!
Don't worry it happens to many, even if you had adb ticked it would be off by default when you downgraded. Just follow this guide, the section where it says bypass Google sign in with WiFi

Hi.
Yesterday I bought a HTC ONE.
It's quite diferent to root and unblock than my previous Galaxy S3.
I've found the All In One Kit that seems to be quite easy to use and user friendly.
However I'm facing strange issues with the drivers...
I just installed the latest HTCDRIVERS.EXE and as soon as I plug the HTC on my laptop, my windows tries to install the driver (with USB debugging ON) but without sucess!
More strange is that, a few seconds after a windows pops up showing "HTC ONE" and asking if I want to open files, see photos and so on...
So, what am I doing wrong since everytime I try to use the ALL IN ONE KIT to get a token ID that will lead to unlock bootloader, I get a "DEVICE NOT FOUND" message?
Please help me...

To get the token ID you need to be in fastboot mode, not booted in Android.

uninstall your current drivers and try these they work flawless for me
http://www.mediafire.com/download/j55vk6qbbr6250c/HTCDriver_4.8.0.002.exe
MD5: e2a21d71954d4164c1a116abb926a363
and don't rely totally on the toolkit for everything
use the included adb / fastboot files yourself and get familiar with them it may save your butt later
It looks like that the real problem is that ADB sees my HTC as offline!
I can't figure out how can I sort this out...

Hi,
I have unlocked my HTC one using HTC dev tool. Rooted with Hboot. However, i had a problem while doing s-off. I followed the procedure from one youtube channel and it was very thorough and understandable for an amateur user like me. However, my one big mistake is that I assume the procedure works perfectly and hence, i continued with flashing a Google Edition Rom. What makes it worse is that , i didn't back up the storage. Then, this 'BootLoop' problem happens.I have tried some tools that push the Rom from PC to the phone. It doesn't work.
Now, I'm using HTC one tool kit by Squabbi to solve the problem.
But, my the adb devices is missing from PC device manager.
Somebody please be kind to save me and my HTC One.
Thanks a million times
First of all, don't use a toolkit. Go into the bootloader then select fastboot. Then on your computer, open up cmd and type "fastboot devices". If that works, just post here again and I'll try to help.
If that doesn't work, you either don't have the proper drivers, or something else is wrong. The last resort would be to flash the RUU for your model. That almost always works, but will wipe everything.
EDIT: The reason why it says adb device not found is that the phone needs to boot in order to use usb debugging. If it doesn't boot, then it will never work. So do what I said above and let me know the result.
Thanks for doing this. I have run into this tricky situation. I will provide some background info:
I have Cyanogenmod 11 on my HTC One m7 (AT&T) by unlocking the bootloader. This morning I wanted to revert back to HTC Sense. I accidentally did a wipe on my phone and now it is stuck on the bootloader screen. In addition to this, my phone is not being detected by my PC/laptop/laptop 2 even after installing the drivers on these laptops/PC.
I have attached few images of my current HTC one m7 screen. No matter what option I select I end up on the same screen and in the same state.
I am requesting your help to restore my device to normal.
Thank you to all the experts out there!

If you were using a custom rom and custom recovery why is your bootloader relocked? You can't boot custom software with a relocked bootloader.
If you took the picture while your phone was connected to your computer then there is something really wrong. FASTBOOT AC should only be displayed when the phone is ocnnected to a wall charger. When connected to your computer, its should say FASTBOOT USB. This could be caused by using a bad usb cable or maybe your phone/computer usb port is messed up.
Once your connectivity issue is solve you could flash this RUU to bring back your phone to stock.

I had the exact same issue. I relocked my bootloader on my laptop trying to go back to stock.My laptop ended up dying so I hopped onto my gaming rig and ran fastboot. My computer wasn't recognizing my phone in fastboot and I couldnt boot into CyanogenMod. I spent hours doing research and trying to fix it. I was ready to switch back to my old iPhone because my HTC wasn't working. Before doing that though I decided to try connecting my phone to my laptop again and see if it was a software issue. It worked perfectly and I unlocked my bootloader again so I could go back to my custom OS because I didn't want to deal with a bunch of that other crap to get back to stock. My point is you should try to use a different computer or usb cable if you can.
