Windows xp unlocking questions... - Sprint HTC One (M8)

I've finally attempted unlock today. I know, not be a big deal for most. But in my present situation this is a small miracle. And last year I bricked my device with this same computer trying s-off so I'm being extra cautious and investing all my time reading (and no I'm not gonna try s-off on this thing again).
Anyway here's my scenario...
Windows xp old computer. Not even 2.0 USB lol
So I'm on htcdev and I install htc sync but it doesn't recognize my phone and Windows can't install with its new install wizard. And when I try to run adb devices in my cmd promt it shows the serial number and "unauthorized" next to it.
Besides a different computer anyone know how to fix (I'd really like to get this done at least)? This has got to be easier than I'm making it :banghead:

To get rid of the unauthorized go to settings>dev options and uncheck then re-check usb debugging. Now you should get a popup on your phone asking for permission to connect to your pc.

I personally don't use HTC Sync...if you do install it you can uninstall it afterwards and the drivers will remain.

[Q] Multitude of problems; What do I do?

I'm aware that there are many forums about these various things but seemingly, no matter what I do, I cannot successfully restore my phone to working order. I just would like it to be stock again. This all came about in the process of trying to un-root my phone. Using TWRP i accidentally deleted my system files, and unfortunately have no back up due to the full wipe. I really am a somewhat uneducated in this realm of knowledge so I apologize ahead of time for that. I immensely appreciate any and all help possible! :fingers-crossed:
The Status of my Phone:
Sprint HTC ONE
Tampered; Unlocked, S=ON
TWRP Recovery
No OS, only have access to Bootloader, Fastboot, and TWRP Recovery
The Status of my PC:
Most recent Sdk file download
Most recent HTC Sync Manager (I think this means i have up to date drivers too?)
Fastboot files are installed.
The Stock rom i'm trying to push/flash/install is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250904
These are My Problems:
Phone cannot be recognized while in fastboot. This cause me to be unable to re-lock the phone.
The command fastboot devices yields no results where as the command ADB devices does detect my phone.
My phone can be detected in recovery, not fastboot.
I have pushed the rom to my phone however upon install attempts from the recovery I simply "Error flashing zip" without any error number or anything.
If other information is needed please ask and I will try to provide it. I'm not sure where to go from here and would really not like having a brick since i have no way to replace the phone until my contract ends .Thanks again everyone, I really do appreciate any help, advice, or information
Try uninstalling HTC Sync, but leave the drivers. Hopefully this will allow fastboot to see your phone. Then run the ruu.

Okay, just did that, and it hasn't seemed to change the issue. Should I try uninstalling all the htc files on the pc and then just find a file of just drivers? Thanks for your help coal.
You're welcome. That might work, but I'm unsure why it didn't work. Are you on Windows 8? There are some special steps you have to do I think. Also, the drivers don't work on the Windows 8.1 preview.

Go to your Device Manager in Control Panel. What does it say under Android Device?
Also, have you tried different ports?
And does it say Fastboot USB?
make sure you dont have windows 8.1
cuz nothing in hboot gets recognized with 8.1

Coal:
I am using windows 8, but it is the latest official release, not 8.1.
Karn:
It does say Fastboot USB in all red text, and i have tried different usb ports. however they are all usb 3 so i don't know if that matters.
In terms of the connecting of my phone is unrecognized and windows say it has malfunctioned. In the control panel under devices my phone is displayed as follows in the picture.
The are special instructions somewhere on XDA for Windows 8. The exclamation tells me that may be the issue. I use Windows 7, so I'm not sure what they are.
Also, I do think people have sometimes had issues with using usb 3 ports, but my old computer doesn't have those, so I can't say personally.

That's a good point, i'm gonna go and try everything on a windows 7 pc with usb 2 ports and see if i have any luck. Thanks a lot coal, i'll post how that goes sometime soon with an update.

Error device not found

I don't know how much this comes up but, my one can't use adb. I've gotten the required drivers and usb debugging checked on. Still says device not found. I've tried changing cables, computers and resetting my phone and no dice. I'm kinda at a loss on what to do. I'm running the 4.3 original sprint.

My pc at home works just fine...my work pc on the other hand has this same issue. Home pc is 32 bit, work pc is 64 bit. It's either something driver related or because it's 64 bit, I haven't had a chance to really diagnose yet. I would start by completely removing htc drivers and try again. Or maybe try a different pc if no luck getting it to work. This weekend I will try to get it working on my work pc and report back what I figured out.
That's the weird thing about it. I've reinstalled drivers, put it on different computers, x64 bit included and nothing works it just says device not

From what I can find about the "Offline" status is that you need to update your Android-Sdk there have been quite a few updates recently.
Also try this for configuring your drivers correctly
(If you are using Windows 8.1 this will most likely not work)
On your PC go to device manager and find your phone(usually M7WLS), right click and select properties
Select the driver tab
Select update driver
Select browse my comp
Let me pick
Look for ADB USB device or similar should be one of the first couple choices
Select MyHTC install and you should be good
That's the thing my old sdk was working fine that's the thing I have the drivers updated ok. It recognized my device but it shows my phone to be offline.

From what I understand the CMD widow was updated if you use the older version it will show your device as offline
Well I got further this time it says device not authorized. Please check the confirmation dialog on your device.
It's progress it seems but I never got a confirmation on my device.

When I went to Device Manager, my HTC One showed up as MTP USB Device instead of ADB. Could you shine a little light on it for me? This is my first time trying to unlock and root my device. What software/driver I would need? So far I only have the HTC Driver installed.
Thank you

Uninstall everything HTC
Unplug your phone
Reboot your PC
Install these drivers
Plug in phone and let it install the drivers(it will install drivers in recovery,bootloader, and booted to your OS)
Then do the steps I posted if you still have problems.
I followed what you did, and followed the instruction you posted earlier as well. I went to Driver tab and tried to update the drive and there wasn't an option for ADB USB Devices. I unchecked the recommended box and still came up with nothing :/ Is there anything else I need to install?
Sorry to bother you again

That is the way I always fix driver issues. I'm kinda out of ideas. I'm usually fixing someones phone remotely so without being able to see your PC I can't offer any other advice.
BTW do you happen to be using Windows 8.1?

I had to update the SDK and the computer was able to recognize my HTC One. Not sure if you have encounter this before...
I unlocked my phone, install TWRP 2.500 with Toolkit v3.1. And when I went into the recovery, the touch screen won't work. I did some research and it seems I need to install new version of TWRP. However, I'm not sure how to install it without using the toolkit... and most people talked about GooManager... but my device isn't rooted yet... I was gonna root it using TWRP but the touch screen wouldn't work. So I'm stuck :/

Get v2.6.3.0 from here and put it in the toolkit folder where the other version of twrp is located and remove 2.5.0.0 then try again

Thats all well & good if you have USB 3.0. But in my case I don't & I don't have that Intel(R)_USB_3.0_eXtensible_Host_Controller_Driver rev. 1.0.6.245 on this computer so I cannot install it.
How it shows when it is in fastboot.
When the phone is booted up it shows as normal as a ADB device. All I want to do is s-off the damn thing :/
same here
no usb 3 thats why it doesnt work for me.
i appreciate peoples help but it always annoys me when people say things like "go and have a look, there's loads of threads on this"
I spent about 4 hours looking last night, tried everything mentioned even though I knew deep down it wouldn't work. Dunno why some people have to be so pissy with their answers.
(nikk this isnt aimed at you)
also as well
no one has actually answered the question i asked, i get some pissy answer saying go and use the search button etc.
all i wanted to know is can you upgrade firmware any other way apart from fastboot, i.e. via twrp etc .....
if not then i'll have to rebuild an old machine with windows 7, just wanted to save myself the time thats all

It is really annoying isn't it. Something that worked perfectly fine on windows 8 fails to work on 8.1. I have tried all the different threads must be about 15 threads & 10 websites i've visited & none of them have a work around :|
You could probably get a flashable zip if you have a custom recovery if not then installing windows 7 is probably the only way, Unfortunate for me I don't even have windows 7 :|

I got fastboot to work by installing the newest stock updates from http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-771-3-zip/
Now I can't get adb to work hahaha oh my this is annoying. I have flashed back to CM11 4.4 i can't be bothered with the hassle no more.

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..

Have you made sure that you have the latest Fastboot available? I always check using the Android SDK Manager before attempting anything with a new device.
Unplug the device and reboot it. Then, try again.
If that doesn't work, try a different USB port (preferably one that is on the motherboard itself).
Also, you can try removing HTC Sync. You can always reinstall it after.

This, HTC sync is good for syncing but tends to interfere with adb commands and stuff like that, most instructions tell you to remove it because of this.

Thanks.
I had to reboot my pc everytime the phone went into a different mode almost. System to bootloader to system. Windows 7! Finally got it rooted. It was so simple with the toolkit bit such a hassle since my pc didn't like the phone apparently.
Now to lurk in the threads here for mods and roms.

I've had similar issues with ADB and Fastboot not recognizing my phones after plugging them in. Usually a reboot of the phone and killing/restarting the service fixes the issue.
Glad you have it working now though. :good:
