Is any one able to use fastboot with Windows 8 yet? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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] 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.

[Q] Fastboot on Windows 8.1

Yes I did. When my One is on fastboot, it's listed in the device manager as "Unknown USB-Device (device failed enumeration)"
My fastboot was all fine until I updated to 8.1
Probably cause HTC haven't sorted out the drivers for 8.1 yet...
That's precisely it.
If you'll check device manager you will see it doesn't recognize your phone as it should.
A new driver will probobly release soon.

I just did the 8.1 win update thing and its working for me. I updated my htc drivers (htc sync download, then removed sync) yesterday from the htc site, and I was really surprised to find it was working. I updated the drivers BEFORE updating to 8.1

I think that's adb, reboot to bootloader and connect it to your pc and see if the pc sees it.... if so can you check the driver details in device manager and let us know what they are

Yup, no problem. This is very strange to me also as i have had problems with adb on ARHD 30, but now everything is working fine, including it seems things that are not for everyone else. I have the latest firmware installed with 1.55 hboot. Dont know if thats got anything to do with it?
All I did was on win 8 was
- uninstall and deleted htc drivers
- installed new htc drivers (htc sync)
- uninstalled syn (leaving the drivers)
- today I updated this machine to win 8.1
bingo, no problems at all. ADB and fastboot working perfectly
PS Fastboot devices is a fastboot argument
EDIT sorry I forgot driver version is 2.0.7.20
Well guys, luckily I still had Windows 7 installed on my sata.. It was a pain in the *** since nothing was up to date, but I sorted it out

Same here I did the same as you and my fastboot works just fine.
Well, no luck for me. I did a fresh win 8.1 install. I plug no phone, no driver. I then forced the usb driver from google (ADK), adb work. I reboot into recovery, no prob. I reboot into bootloader, phone doesn't even get detected by windows (as if nothing is connected). I reboot into fastboot, I get "unknown usb device, device failed enumeration". I'm on stock hboot 1.44 s-off
edit: just installed latest htc sync manager, same problem
Same here.
Running Win 8.1, did NOT update drivers before I updated to 8.1.
Now ADB works fine, but Fastboot mode declines to work (device enumeration error in device manager).
I installed latest driver from the 18th (4.8.0.002, thanks @mdmower http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2089508) but it still doesn't make a difference- even though it's supposed to be the updated Win 8.1 drivers.
Great stuff MS, I was just about to go S-OFF
-
Edit:
Intel Z77 Chipset, latest drivers- tried USB2 and USB3, same eror
What I've noticed is: If I'm on an older firmware, fastboot isn't recognized in Windows 8.1. If I'm on a newer firmware (say 3.xx and up), fastboot is recognized. Strange how it behaves like this on Windows, but Ubuntu 13.10 doesn't give two craps and still works no matter the firmware version.
This sucks as we need fastboot to flash a different firmware...
I can confirm now that it works for me with corresponding Firmware 3.62.401.1
Used my laptop with Win7 for S-OFF & SuperCID, upgraded FW and ROM to 3.62.401.1 and now Win 8.1 recognizes Fastboot for the ONE again.
Had 2.24.401.1 on it before that with which it didn't work in Win 8.1.

Hi there,
I upgraded to Windows 8.1, adb seems to work fine over USB3, fastboot doesn't seem to work but i believe it is because of the same problem i had on Windows 8 with USB3.
I have to mention that i manually upgraded all the drivers after the upgrade to W8.1, even the USB drivers, so yeah, there should be the problem.
Anything else seems to work ok. Hope this helps

If you tried W8, there is nothing that would impress you in 8.1, is basically just a .1 itteration
I use it because i bought my laptop with Windows, otherwise i would be a Linux-only user, as my favourite game works on Linux under Wine, so yeah...
For Fastboot problems under windows 8.1, try this tutorial > xda thread
It could work well on Windows 8.1 as well.
**In comments section in an external link from the thread, a user stated that he tried the method on Windows 8.1 and works fine, so check there**

I'm on 8.1 and have working adb and fastboot. My laptop has USB 2.0 ports.
I did have an issue where I lost fastboot after flashing a 1.44 hboot. I uninstalled the drivers (be sure to also delete the HTC folder under program files) and reinstalled.
I've win 8.1, adb and fastboot are working fine with all 2.0 usb.
But fastboot doesn't work with a usb 3.0
I've upgraded from win 8 and i didn't update the driver because all are working fine
Well, I can confirm first hand which problems Win8.1 causes with using Fastboot and the HTC ONE:
Had FW 2.24.401.1 on my device, Win 8.1 wouldn't recognize the device in Fastboot mode (enumeration error).
From what I could gather, if Windows 8 is updated to the latest HTC drivers BEFORE upgrading to 8.1, it would still work. Updating your drivers in 8.1 by itself wouldn't work for it.
Apparantly the newer firmwares fix compatibility within 8.1 for fastboot, so I used my laptop with Win7 for S-OFF & SuperCID, upgraded FW and ROM to 3.62.401.1 and now Win 8.1 recognizes Fastboot for the ONE again.
Maybe that'll help you.

Your exactly right. The Dark Hboot (GE) will not work in windows 8.1 with fastboot.
I even went so far as restoring my windows 8 backup to restore fastboot functionality on my PC.
So I did the test last night and flashed the latest firmware 3.62.401.1 (from windows 8) and then reinstalled windows 8.1 and the fastboot driver installed itself and is working fine. I did have to manually update the adb drivers in device manager though.
Now i finally did update to windows 8.1 and i have adb and fastboot working with firmware and rom 3.62.401.1 All i did was updated the drivers and then all was working. ?

After a long night of trial and error I got fastboot working on USB3.0, USB2 no response at all. What did the trick was installing the windows 7 drivers from Intel for USB3 (remove the Microsoft ones).

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 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.

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.

Adb dont work in win 10 with htc m7 trying to unlock bootloader

Installed sync, adb drivers work but can't get fastboot to work . I've tried so many different things I've seen on internet and nothing works. Tried on windows 8 and 10. Any ideas suggestions?
Anyone ? Adv is working just not fastboot.I no matter what driver I tried. Is shows it installed it then a few seconds later says usb not recognized.

If adb is working fine but not fastboot your phone is probably still on the old 1.44 hboot. Use win 7, Linux or a Mac.

Yup on 1.44 but got it sorted by a registry hack I found on here.

Good, once your hboot will be up to date it should work on all win versions without any problems.
