hboot 1.44 is not compatible with windows 8.1. You can use windows 7, linux (ubuntu) or MacOS

You can try this method using the "old dirty solution", it has worked for some.

[Q] Win 8.1 PC/ Fastboot not working/ Want to be unrooted with stock

Hi, I'm trying to unroot my phone and put it back on stock. However, I have S-On and my PC is on Win 8.1 Pro which makes fastboot broken (i ran fastboot devices and nothing came up. On ADB, it sees my device) so I can't run Rumrummer to give me S- Off. Can't do the RUU because I need to relock my bootloader but to do that, I need S-Off. What can I do to get around all this to get unrooted and stock?
don't remember where in forum I seen it but if you search a bit you can find the drivers for win 8.1. search and read!
edit.....nice post count!!!!

Hahaha just noticed the 666 But I forgot to mention that I did search for the Win 8.1 drivers but in one thread i saw, they used the win 7 64 bit htc drivers to get it to work. Obviously it didn't work for me, so i'll try finding official win 8.1 drivers. I did see a thread about switching the usb 3.0 drivers to the microsoft intel drivers but my pc uses AMD :/ Any links that anyone finds or extra advice and info is appreciated.

Next milestone is 6,666 ? lol. I found a stock rom reset here This should take care of me getting on stock unrooted. Next problem is to get rid of the tampered sign on the bootloader. Gotta be S-off to do that. So many issues with fastboot though. I"ll try running Rumrunner again when i flash this rom. Not sure if hboot is a prob, it's still 1.44. Actually, would going to stock 4.3 unrooted make the fastboot work again so i can run Rumrunner ?

I have heard updating your hboot to 1.55 will allow the drivers to work in fastboot on Win 8.1

I read that too. On Rumrunner, it requires you to have S-off before you can flash the hboot zip. Unless you know another source that can do it without s off.

Fasboot in Bootloader not working

Hi, I want to flash my HTC One again since some time. I've downloaded the recent synch tool from HTC. Unfortunately I can't get fastboot working if I'm in the Bootloader. Fastboot works if my telephone is on but it doesn't if my htc is in the bootloader.
I need some help.
I'm using Windows 8.1 x64

HTC One M7 Help

Hello all. I need to know is there something wrong with my phone. Been trying hard for weeks to root and not got anywhere.
My pc is on Windows 8.1
It reads my phone as My HTC is this bad?
I follow the htc dev page and can't not get command prompt to find my phone. I am not sure of the command to do this.
Also does it matter that I received a OTA of 4.4.3 and my H-Boot is 1.57.
Cheers.

Should I delete the old ones and start a fresh.
I'll try your files.
Should you be able to root with it at 4.4.3 and so on.

What is the actual problem?
No drivers for 8.1 or script doesn't work?

I tried rum runner and its says at the end failure(I tried many times with different roms) and I think it might be because of Windows.
P.S I have hboot 1.57 on international htc one.
That doesn't have anything to do with windows 8.1. The only issue you might have is with driver signing and you can workaround that by shutting off driver enforcement for when you go to install. After that you can boot normally.
