Windows 8.1 and Hboot 1.55 - Sprint HTC One (M7)

Just got my new laptop running windows 8.1. Now my ONE is not recognized when in fastboot, no fastboot drivers. Did a lot of research and found that everything works on the new hboot 1.55 which I don't run! Does anyone have the fastboot drivers available and can share? Or does anyone know of flashable for just the hboot upgrade?

I ran into the same issue on my home desktop computer with 8.1 after messing around with it I ended up grabbing out my old hard drive and booting back into Windows 7 however I would try flashing the Rumrunner H boot which should be compatible with Windows 8.1 as others have told me but I haven't tested it yet but that is my plan when I have to do my next round of flashing. Your going to have to use a Windows 7 (or xp) computer in order to do that but once you do then you can use your 8.1 computer from then on out

I wonder if I could get just the fastboot drivers if it would work without having to change my hboot. Does anyone have the fastboot drivers only available?

Go read the FAQ, @BD619 has the info you likely need in that thread (stickied).

You will have to upgrade the hboot for it to work on 8.1 regardless of what drivers you get at least that is my understanding. I'm on an older hboot because I did a custom hboot with my name on top. The main reason I did a custom hboot was to get rid of the ugly red development text during boot which rumrunner will do. The bootloader customizer plugin hasn't been updated to the new hboot yet so I would just flash rumrunner hboot. It just says rumrunner at the top and most important red development text is gone.

I'm trying to avoid changing my hboot because I have modded just the way I like it and I've never had a problem with it. But I guess is lose one, gain one!

If we're soff, can we just fastboot flash this firmware
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46123838 (the full firmware) to obtain the hboot we need to use in windows 8.1? I've rooted my One since the beginning and soff'd with revone and have always flashed the newest firmware minus the hboot...

I updated my hboot from 1.44 to 1.55 using rumrunner hboot and my fastboot works on windows 8.1.

All u need is the rumrunner hboot and Ur good. U do not need to flash any firmware. I've always done the same as u, upgrade firmware without hboot but this time I had to flash just a new hboot. And everything is all good now with windows 8.1! :thumbup:

Nice add to the FAQ, I had 8.1 before it was released so I ran into this issue right away but as it rolls out even more it's going to come up more often. With s-off changing upgrading/downgrading hboots isn't a big deal at all. With s-on you gotta be careful but this is the 1st time I can recall ever that upgrading your hboot has a benefit.

Failed Device Enumeration in Fastboot

Hello friends,
I tried reverting back from 4.3 Developer Edition back to my original phone's condition by restoring a 4.1.2 CWM backup (Rogers) that I had. This worked, except the touch drivers don't work. I tried to run a 4.2.2 update under RUU, which seemed to break after the first attempt, and the second attempt did not work.
HBOOT 1.55 flagged the OS version and from here on out my computer stopped recognizing my device over fastboot (but is fine in ADB).
I've reverted back to my HBOOT 1.44 and the OS version flag is gone, but I'm still getting Failed Device Enumeration. Is there a partition I may have broken during the failed RUU?
You using windows 8.1 by chance? If so, you're not alone...

Yeah! Welcome to this laaarge club! Win 8.1 hate our One.
There's a thread just for this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46794667
Easiest fix is flashing through Linux... even a live CD works.
I fixed my issue by completely deleting my htc drivers (there is also an HTC folder under programfilesx86) and reinstalling.

Looks like it hates all the HBOOTS except 1.55 from 3.22 base. I put that HBOOT back onto my phone, and fastboot works fine with Windows 8.1 and HBOOT 1.55. This is letting me get back into RebootRUU to run the RUU for the 4.3 developer edition until I try this thing again later hahaha.
I've just got a new laptop and after installing 8.1 fastboot is working fine with the HTC Sync Manager drivers and FW 3.62 so yeah, assumed HTC fixed it!

But it doesn't work with hboot 1.44 which I needed to return to stock by running the 1.27.401.7 RUU. I had to re-install windows 8 to run the RUU then upgrade back to windows 8.1 afterwards which is not such an ordeal for me as I store all of my data on an external hard drive.
If we could just get hold of a more recent .401 RUU I would be very happy then all my windows 8.1 issues will be resolved.

[SOLVED] Completely stuck at bootloader. Need AMD USB 3.0 drivers for win8.1

I just got a new laptop with 8.1 loaded on it... tried to flash a rom and it didnt go well.. bootlooping at the bootloader. computer wont recognize the phone, doesnt say fastboot usb. ive downloaded every possible driver i could find for 2 days and nothing...
basically ive narrowed it down to needing the amd usb host drivers for win 8.1 and i cant find em or a solution anywhere.
No i cant use another computer.
please please help, im totally screwed.
You can try this http://www.droid-now.com/2013/10/fix-working-fastboot-drivers-windows-8-1-x64/
Or use a pc that is not Win 8.1
The good news is if you can get your hboot updated to 1.55 your phone will be recognized in fastboot.

yeah yeah... paradise and all...except it sucks when i cant communicate with anyone.. OK SO UPDATE
after totally crashing my boot partitions trying to dual boot 8.1 & linux, I atttained dual boot... ugh was rough.. came to me in the middle of the night and i just hit 3 keys and bam, dual boot... ok
YES thanks to linux i was able to push a new recovery on as well as a new ROM!! yayyyyyyy not so much.
NOW.. i have a rom running but i have no firmware, radio, nothing.. In my quest to put a firmware on i have achieved S-OFF.. (I also used rumrunner, but my hboot remains 1.44?) and flashed what looked like working radio stuff, but nope. Should i be trying all this with a Sense ROM? Im on SlimKat atm. Thats my only idea now.. i've flashed firmwares out the wazoo and nothing gives me those lovely service bars... just an empty triangle... Any Thoughts? really dont want to download a 900meg rom.
thanks!!!
U may have to ruu. Also rumrunner is for 1.55 hboot so I really don't know if it would work. Revone and moonshine are for 1.44 check bd19 faq thread or pm him if he isn't busy he will gst u on the right path!:thumbup:
Use OMJ's stock rooted ROM. But if you just need firmware and you have S-off, flash the firmware set from OMJ's RUU thread in fastboot . Instructions are there in the thread.
If you need help, just ask. That should get you going. Also, you can flash the firmware package that does not include hboot, recovery and boot. It's on the thread as well.

i tried it, as per the instructions.. it went along as though is was working, but upon reboot, still an empty triangle.... baseband "unknown"
could it be something as mundane as me using an aosp rom and not a sense? looks like im facing the 1 gig RUU download... ugh
The ROM has nothing to do with the firmware. You are not getting flashed if your radio shows unknown.
Are you entering fastboot oem and then flashing the firmware set?

oh yes, absolutely.
fastboot oem rebootRUU
wait should i still lock the bootloader before trying this?
fastboot oem lock?
No. No need to lock. You should be getting a radio version if you followed the few instructions in the thread for 'flashing modified firmware.' If you are really S-off, that should work.

Which firmware are you trying to flash? Give us a link.
I would suggest flashing the Full Firmware 3.04.651.2 found HERE
It should give you a fresh flash of the firmware as well as update your hboot to 1.55 which in turn will make your device recognized in fastboot with Windows 8.1
ok now im going crazy
i downloaded the RUU from that thread above and ran it... says that usb is not connected. I verified that it is by running adb devices and it lists my phone... fastboot reboot works,,, for some reason the RUU thinks its not connected?!?!?!
im pulling my hair out
I believe you are on Windows 8.x, from previous notes. You need to upgrade hboot as BD noted above, which means flash the full firmware package from the links we gave so you get hboot upgraded. I'd use your Ubuntu install for that, but no matter, your choice if you know Windows is working.
But if that works, I seriously think you can blow off the RUU and load a ROM at that point. I would also look at checking things out with the LTE app from the play store once your radio is up, but be very careful with that app and only change the cdma/gsm/whatever selection option.

[Q] Upgrade HBOOT 1.54 to newer

Hi.
I have a rooted HTC one (S-On and HBOOT 1.54) and I'd like to use fastboot on my windows 8.1 64bit, but as far as I know HBOOT 1.55 or higher is compatible with win 8.1. Is there any way to upgrade my HBOOT to a version that I can S-Off it later by using rumrunner.
"rumrunner" states that it works with HBOOT 1.5x ! (for sure) Are HBOOT 1.55 and 1.56 supported by rumrunner or not.
My phone currently running on ARHD 41.0 KitKat and no idea about firmware version since i cannot get it worked with command fastboot getvar all
on win 8.1.
I really appreciate for your quick responses.
Thanks.

Thanks, just before you post, i considered downloading Ubuntu 13.10 and dual boot it with my windows 8.1 so that i can use the fastboot commands + have fun with it( Ubuntu is the best). Again thanks.
BTW, is rumrunner supported 1.55 and 1.56? and is it worth to upgrade hboot ? i mean does it make any difference to have 1.55 or 1.54 (apart from that fastboot compatibility)

1- recommend you use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and use the 32bit version, not 64!!
2- rumrunner seems to be working fine with most versions of hboot & firmware, the only exception that still seems pending is 3.63.111.x seems a few are having problems with it (I could be wrong though), and hopefully the devs will have that sorted out soon enough.

Hboot 1.44 & windows 8.1 = no Bootloader

Like a newbie I was flashing a few RUUs and managed to downgrade to Hboot 1.44 and now bootloader doesn't work with windows 8.1.
Is it possible to use bootloader with windows 8.1 and Hboot 1.44. My device is unlocked and S-off or is there a way to upgrade Hboot without a pc.
Thanks

I did that and for some reason it didn't update my hboot I'm still at 1.44. I'm running 4.19.401.8 but with no fastboot I can't install a TWRP I can't root pretty much anything that requires fastboot.

HELP! HTC One problem when in fastboot mode

i'm trying to install a stock Europe ROM from a RUU.zip because the RUU.exe wont run on my laptop for some reason (Windows 8.1 64bit)
i am S-off and have changed my CID to Super-CID and MID to the required one.
I have the latest HTC drivers installed and have uninstalled HTC Sync. my HBOOT version was 1.57 before, but i used firewater to obtain s-off and it brought my HOBOOT back to 1.44 (i don't know how) *i couldn't get s-off with 1.57*
i'm trying to follow this guide to install the ruu.zip
but i can only get as far as adb reboot-bootloaderon htcguru site
after it boots to bootloader mode the USB device becomes unrecognized and i cant fastboot any commands (waiting for device) shows up.
i restart my phone and i can mount to my laptop just fine and everything but when i get into fastboot mode it becomes unrecognized (Code 43), i've been up all night trying to find a solution but nothing. im lost for ideas.
ive tried different ports and restarted my laptop several times
any ideas. only reason i wanted the European ROM was to get rid of the o2 UK bootanimation and now its become a much bigger problem
i cant even run the ruu.exe file now that im s-off so im pretty much stumped
