I am trying to unlock the bootloader of 10 HTC AT&T Vivid's which will then be flashed with CM and sent to Lesotho for mapping purposes. Unfortunately I cannot get past the first step of unlocking the bootloader. The devices are running Android version 4.03. and I am attempting to unlock them using a Windows 8.1 Pro PC, 64 bit.
Like the user in this thread , I have SDK installed, Google USB Driver, Java and HTC Sync.
I have tried the HTC drivers from here and the Google USB driver but I believe the issue may be in how I am installing the drivers. The device is recognised by the PC when it is turned on but not by HTC Sync. Whenever I load the device in fastboot device manager lists it as "Device Failed Enumeration." If I uninstall the driver or try and update to either the HTC driver or Google USB driver in Fastboot mode I am prompted with an error that says folder I have selected "doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device." I am able to update the driver when the device is booted up but it does not seem to work in fastboot mode.
I am really at a loss on how to proceed and what I should try next so any help would greatly appreciated.
Edit 1: I followed the instructions from the Nocturnal Team and installed the Samsung Drivers whilst the phone was switched on. This worked fine and when I typed in adb devices in command prompt my device was recognised. I rebooted into fastboot mode and tried installing the Samsung Drivers again like instructed however I encounter an error. This time it says that "Windows found driver software for you device but encountered an error attempting to install it...This device cannot start (Code 10)."
Typing in adb devices or fastboot devices in command prompt following this still does not return anything. What am I doing wrong and why will windows not recognize my device when it is in fastboot mode?
Edit 2: I plugged the phone into another USB port and have been able to select different drivers, the Samsung ones and HTC drivers. Despite this the device is still not appearing in command prompt when typing in fastboot devices/adb devices. I feel so close yet so far.
Hello,
Uninstall driver then fallow this guide : http://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/ , then reinstall driver. I hope will help you?!

Thanks for the quick response. I've tried this reboot method a few times but I still get prompted with the message that says that the folder specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver and to make sure it is designed to work with x64 based systems.
Drivers don't designed to work on OS x64 based, so you need to use an OS x86 if you want drivers to work.

Do you mean I need to use a different operating system?
Yes, you must find drivers for the x64 OS or install an x86 OS.

So I downloaded the Nexus Root Toolkit from Wugs and I have been unable to get fastboot or ADB working on my Nexus 7 so that I can root it.
I am using Windows 8 65-bit, I have enabled USB debugging on my device, I have allowed Windows to install unsigned drivers, etc, etc.
I am stuck when it tells me to install the raw USB drivers through the Device Manager - the problem is, my device is not showing up, not even with a yellow exclamation mark. It's plugged in, but when I uninstall the drivers, the device goes with it...
It worked just fine in Windows 7... Now with 8, I am at a loss. I've been following various different guides for the past hour now, and I need to get to work, so I'm going to try again tomorrow.
I just unlocked my N7 today on Windows 8 64-bit. What you have to do is disable driver signature enforcement and then it will work.

Thanks that was very useful and of course it worked.
I was struggling with this for half the day before I realized that it must be a problem and not that I was doing anything wrong.

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.
I've seen the other posts people have made and guides around here, but none of them work for me. I've had no problems installing the drivers on any of my other computers, just my new desktop. I'm running the same version of windows 8 on my old laptop and it works. Same drivers, same OS install disk.
I'm posting here as a last resort, I've tried probably 99% of every guide on the forum, and google.
I can't for the life of me get fastboot to work. ADB works fine, fastboot just will not work.
I have usb 3.0, and usb 2.0, I've been trying both and neither of them will work. I've tried using multiple different usb ports, I have 4 usb 3.0, and 3 different usb 2.0.
I've disabled signature verification to install the drivers, but it acts like it uninstalls it and installs it's own drivers again.
Then it says the last usb devices malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it.
I'm uninstalled reinstalled, uninstalled, reinstalled. I've tried some "all in one" driver packs that people put together, but fastboot refuses to work.
I'm running windows 8 64bit.
Any ideas?

Did you disable "Fast Boot" option in Settings -> Battery? (nothing to do with the fastboot command, it's a setting in the power options)
And when you're in the Fastboot mode of the bootloader, does it say "FASTBOOT USB"?

Yes, It works with my other computer so it's not my phone, or the way I'm doing it.
I get to the point where I can install the drivers, I install them and then it's like it reinstalls the old drivers.

hi mate i had this same issue tried all sorts, various guides etc which non of them worked. in the end i did find a guide that got it working. my problem was that intel usb 3.0 aren't compatible whatseover you need to uninstall them and install some new modified drivers. this is a known problem with windows 8 64 and intel 3.0. it also does stop fastboot from working with your usb 2.0 ports. have a look for the guide, i will also try to dig it up and ill post back if i find it.

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).

well if your bootloader version is 1.44 it won't connect to a PC using windows 8.1. If your hboot is higher than 1.44 it should work fine with win 8.1. Make sure your HTC drivers are installed correctly. When the phone is in bootloader mode, go in the windows devices manager: is the phone listed under "android usb device" --> "My HTC" or does it say something else like "one" ?

re-install the drivers and the android sdk and try again. You should also try using fastboot directly from a linux distro like Ubuntu.
