[Q] ADB wont find device in fastboot mode

I'm trying to unlock my bootloader so I can root the device and install CM10.
I've had similar issues with my old nexus one that was drivers but I have tried 7 different drivers and have been searching for over 5 hours. I'm going mad, Please someone tell me how to make this phone work.

State your OS and is it 32bit or 64bit?

You should just need to download and install HTC Sync that has the required drivers.

You don't use adb when in fastboot mode, you use fastboot!

Fastboot just sits at waiting for device.

Ok I've been able to get the bootloader unlocked. Now I cant get it into Charge only mode(the setting is missing?!?) Is it possible to Root the device without that?

[Q] Converting my ONE into a GE Android

So, I unlocked my One, got the S-OFF (HBOOT 1.55), when I was pushing the zip file containing the stock GE ROM, it got stuck on "waiting for device". I've tried uninstalling the drives, and installing them again, but its not working. I can turn on the phone fine, but the Recovery is the Google Bootloader and I can;t seem to find a way to go back to the original HTC Bootloader since it wont let me push files while in the bootloader...
What can I do!?

If you've still got s-off and can use fastboot, you could just change your CID and install a GE ruu.

I do have the S-OFF, however, once I enter the Fastboot menu, Windows wont recognize the device and wont let me push anything. It gets stuck in "Waiting for device". Ive installed the latest Google USB Device drivers using the SDK Manager and nothing has changed. :crying:

Try a different USB cable, or port, or a different computer..
Your phone says Fastboot or Fastboot USB?

Remove unneeded drivers

If Windows PC can see phone in normal working state ( like MTP device / Android ADB / USB disk ect ... ) mean - you no need to worry - HW is OK, then try to use a small free tool called DeviceRemover and just clean unneeded ( wrong / old / damaged / ect.. ) FastBoot driver(s) from your system and then try again to connect phone in fastboot mode. Hint - use last tab "Display Mode" to select "Hidden / Deattached" devices - these that not work for you.

You'll have to use a different computer, one running a pre windows 8.1 os.
Windows 8.1 only recognises fastboot for 1.55 or greater bootloaders at the moment.
I had the same situation and had to re-install windows 8 which was a bit drastic but solved this problem

If you're having trouble with the connection in Windows 8.1 like that your Phone does not get recognised, easiest solution get a Linux Live ISO on a USB stick.
Get Universal USB Installer from here http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
Let it Download a UBUNTU Live ISO
Let the Programm install it on your USB stick and set the Persistent File Size to your liking
Boot from the stick
Open Terminal Window
Install "adb" and "fastboot" with .... sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
Connect the Phone and check if the Phone is recognised (fastboot devices or adb devices)
Do the update

Well, it was a driver issue. I did everything using the Mac OS X partition of my MacBook (for some odd reason I thought all this process was "exclusive" to Windows due to the exes and whatnot, but I was wrong). Now I am running the Stock Google Play Edition on my phone with no issues.

[Q] adb works fine but fastboot doesn't see the device

Having a strange problem with my HTC One (m7) where adb works fine and can even reboot to bootloader, but fastboot doesn't see the device.
My HTC One is S-Off and rooted and unlocked. Running Android Revolution HD 31.5 (JB 4.3) and my current recovery is TWRP.
The computer is running Windows 8.1 x64.
I've got the latest Android SDK installed, and can run both adb and fastboot from command prompt with no problem.
I've got the latest HTC Sync manager installed so the drivers should be there as well.
adb works fine, I can issue "adb devices" and it shows my device and serial number and I can do all other things with adb as well (so no issue with USB cable or port either).
I can boot to bootloader with "adb reboot bootoader" and when I'm there it shows "Fastboot USB" so that looks ok as well.
But fastboot doesn't see the device. "fastboot devices" returns nothing.
I've tried searching the forums and googling and everything, but can't find anything. I'm at my wits' end. Any help greatly appreciated.

You were indeed correct, and I was obviously googling for the wrong thing. I just didn't think the 8.1 update would have broken that...
Anyway, for the record, this guide helped me fix it by replacing Microsoft's USB drivers with Intel's. http://www.droid-now.com/2013/10/fix-working-fastboot-drivers-windows-8-1-x64/
Oh, and thanks to Microsoft for wasting hours of my time with your buggy driver Times like this I really miss my Linux box.

[Q] Can't use adb/fastboot while in bootloader, after flashing failed.

Okay so i tried to install a custom rom, but it failed, now when ever i execute adb reboot-boatloader the device goes into the boatloader but i can't use adb/fastboot as it doesn't recognize the device. I have windows 8, and it seems windows doesn't find the driver, but when I boot the phone normaly, i can access it using adb (but not fastboot). Any ideas ?
I still can execute the recovery option in the boot loader, but i have nor Zip file to install. I also changed the cid, so the stock rom won't flash.
Advice appreciated

I haven't use Windows 8, but so far I don't have any problem with Windows 7. I assume have already install the HTC driver. If not, you can install the HTC syn which comes with the driver.

Yes, I already installed the HTC drivers (htc sync +d rivers, then uninstalled htc sync, as it get's annoying while plugin on off of the phone)
My biggest problem is that, now fastboot is not running in bootloader mode, so I can't even flash an image or change back the settings i did.
(And of course seems like in bootloader mode, that windows can't find the phone).
So my Idea would be to flash a Zip.rom, like the over the air updates using the recovery option. It's just that i changed the CID to GOOGLE001. :/

Yes, you can uninstall it or use MSCONFIG to remove it on start up. : )
ok, have you try boot the phone in fastboot mode and type "fastboot devices" in command prompt?

Are you on S-off?
Anyway, I would do the RUU. restore your phone and try again with a good custom ROM. Did you check MD5 with the rom you download? You still can connect your phone with ADB. That mean your phone is not brick yet. : )

windows 8.1 will not work on hboot below 1.54.000 (the only 1.54 that works is from the new GPE 4.4 update).
your going to need access to a windows 7 PC long enough to update your hboot to 1.55 to be able to use fastboot with your phone again. This usually only happens while flashing a RUU not A Rom. Flashing a rom will not affect your version of hboot

You are right, i can confirm hboot 1.54.0000 - i was flashing the RUU to convert my HTC ONE toa Google Edition.
So all I need is a windows 7 or lower pc to get fastboot running again?
That's good news, I would have searched for ages.

Yeah it's frustrating I know
If you use the 1.54.000 from the 4.4 GPe update it works also

Phone keeps rebooting after ROM flash.

Hey. I got a problem with my beloved M7. Few days ago I gave a chance to CM12, but I got bored of it and tried to flash InsertCoin 4.0.5. Everything went well but now my phone boots up and locks the screen. If I unlock the screen, a green HTC logo on white background appears. After few seconds of showing the logo the phone reboots and locks the screen again. I can freely access the TWRP, but I have no backup and I lost CM12 installing files. Please can someone help me bring my lovely phone back to life?
P.S sorry for my English

Just follow this guide, it should help:
Originally posted by @alrayHTC ONE M7_U/M7_UL - ADB PUSH & FLASH A ROM - DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS
Prerequisites:
You need ADB and FASTBOOT on your computer,
either by installing the Android SDK or Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT
You need to know how to start a fastboot/adb command prompt:
To open a command window prompt, in Windows go to Start Menu --> ''Run'' then type cmd. Change the directory to the ADB folder on your machine:
If using the default install location for the SDK:
Code:
cd C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools
If using the default install location of Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT:
Code:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Or hold left shift + right click a blank space inside the folder where adb and fastboot are located and select ''Open command window here'' from the contextual menu.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You need TWRP recovery on your device.
We still recommend to use version 2.6.3.3 for all roms
except if another version is specified in the rom OP.
Use 2.7.1.1+ for roms that require "block:by-name" support (CM11)
Unlock bootloader if not already unlocked:
Thanks to Electroz for the video tutorial
Flash TWRP Recovery:
Make sure the recovery.img file is in the same folder where adb and fastboot are located
(C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
reboot phone in bootloader mode
Flash the recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
You need your HTC drivers correctly installed on your PC:
If not, follow this guide (thanks to nkk71):
originally from @nkk71: [GUIDE] [02-MAR-2014] nkk71's SuperGUIDE to returning 100% back to stock
follow the below instructions to fix
Open "Device Manager" -> select the unknown "One" -> right-click -> "Update Driver Software ..." -> "Browse my computer" -> "Let me pick" -> "Android USB Devices" -> select "My HTC ..." -> install that
just in case, HTC Drivers can be found here: [Drivers] HTC Drivers for Windows - Several Versions (credits to @mdmower)
though you should already have them since you have been using your phone any ways
for those who like a visual guide:
okay so I did a fastboot boot command, and as you can see it didn't install correct driver
Open "Device Manager"
there's the culprit
right click and Update Driver Software
select Browse my computer for driver software
select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
select Android USB Devices
select My HTC ... (if you have more than one version, choose the latest)
warning, select Yes
successful installation
now it looks better
and can confirm:
Code:
C:\ADB3>[B]adb devices[/B]
List of devices attached
HTxxxxxxxxxx recovery

Procedure:
Make sure the ROM you want to flash is in the same folder where ADB and FASTBOOT are.
(C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
Here is a list of the HTC M7 roms. Some other roms can be found here.
Connect your phone to computer using usb cable
(if not using the official HTC USB calble, make sure
you are using a USB data cable and not only a charging
cable. Data cables have 4 contacts: 5V, GND, DATA+, DATA-.
Charging cable only have 5V and GND contact and will not work)
Reboot phone in recovery mode (TWRP):
If phone is booted in OS:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
if not booted or bootlooping, hold power button + volume down until phone boot in bootloader mode
then select BOOTLOADER then RECOVERY using volume up/down to navigate and power button to select.
Make sure your phone is booted in TWRP main menu:
transfer the rom to your /sdcard folder:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
Wait for the zip file to transfer, this can take several minutes (5-15) and there is no progress bar, the command prompt will be unresponsive for that duration. When the command prompt is responsive again and display how much bytes transferred in X seconds, the transfer is completed:
In TWRP main menu, select ''INSTALL''
Browse the installation menu and select your rom zip file inside /sdcard folder:
Swipe to confirm you want to flash the rom
Reboot phone

Follow @alray guide as posted by @majmoz if the problem persists try flashing CM11 then go to Settings>About>Phone Identity and check your IMEI is displayed correctly there. Also check baseband in Settings>About>Software Information>More.

First you should edit you post and remove your imei. You don't want to make that public
If you could post the output of

it would be helpful you should also remove your imei and serial number before posting :good:
but the fact the imei and baseband don't display Unknown in settings is good

To get the getvar info your Device should be in the bootloader in fastboot usb mode.
Then send the fastboot getvar all command.

@Danny201281 Yeah, I tried to do this in fastboot mode. Windows pop up says that there is unrecognized device connected, what shouldn't have even happened because I have the latest HTC drivers(2.0.7.27) from HTC Sync.

Other than that try connecting to a different usb port. USB2.0 ports are best. :good:

Sorry i can't help with adb/fastboot problems when running Linux as a VM. I've never used linux as a virtual machine in windows, and your knowledge of Windows it's self is probably better than mine especially Windows 8. I'm confident there is no problem with your device this is a connectivity issue most probably caused by drivers. Hopefully @majmoz or @clsA can help you get it working on windows 8.
Although booting your laptop from a usb shouldn't be that difficult. You just need to change the boot order in the bios. The bios can be accessed normally by pressing "Delete" or "F2" during the first boot screen on your laptop. Then change the boot settings so that USB is the first boot device. What make is your laptop?
