Okay, so heres my problem. I got this phone from a friend that he had rooted and had worked, and he wound up reseting it and such before handing it over too me. Im no noob on the rooting and even on installing custom roms.
The phone does not recongnize on my computer in hboot.
Now ive done my research and i know its not supported in windows 8 for the drivers, and the only other computer i have would be a windows xp (which gave the same results)
Anyways, my friend no longer has the computer he used to root the phone, and im stuck with no wifi and no service(was just going to use it as a game tablet like phone. which i was using with my samsung galaxy s2 skyrocket before that died.)
I do have drivers installed, ive tried multiple ways to try and create the adb stuff so i can do this but it always gets stuck on waiting for devices.
So i guess what im asking is, am i SOL or is there a work around on windows 8 to get this up and working. im willing to try any and every suggestion, even if it means i have to go and get a "copy" of windows 7 or if there is a way to get it to work on win xp that would be even better.

See thats my problem though, i cant even bring up adb to recongnize the phone. I have the unlocked status on the hboot page, but i cant simply make my computer recongnize the phone when its in hboot mode. Ive tried every single forum that search will bring up about fixing the issue, and most have simply put that its not supported by windows 8 (at sometime during the post, not in initial posts) My main problem is, i use the phone without a connection to a cellular tower, only through wifi, but without being able to boot img file of what ever rom i put on, the wifi wont work.
I cant restore to stock via the same problem being, the hboot or fastboot part, will not recognize on my windows 8 computer.

I have a better solution for you (IMO)
Download ubuntu .iso from the ubuntu website.
burn the .iso to a disk.
set your machine to boot from cd before booting from HDD (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20130425190900AADNjgh)
now, when you boot, it should take you into ubuntu. On the screen that pops up, select english, and then "Try Ubuntu" or whatever the equivalent is.
now, set up adb and fastboot for ubuntu using any method you like ere is a link to a guide: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/08/install-adb-and-fastboot-android-tools.html don't worry, it works on 13.04 or any other new version of Ubuntu.
Your ADB and Fastboot should work in any terminal window now. If you get an error like "insufficient permisions for device" then read on below:
Normally, you would type "adb devices"
instead, now type "sudo adb devices"
the terminal window will prompt you for a admin pass. Use the pass you used when setting up the trial. if you didn't use a pass, just press enter. for all your following adb or fstboot commands, use "sudo adb..." or "sudo fastboot..."
If this helped you, Thank me

So I know XDA is full of answers to this one, but it seems everyone either has some snarky comment like, "they won't check' or whatever. There are also some ok answers and tuts but some of it's confusing and a lot of the threads go off topic. So i'd like to ask, how do i get my phone back to stock? i have to mail my device back in for a warranty exchange as the speakers and camera stopped working suddenly.
My device is stock rooted, odex rom w/ TWRP. unlocked bootloader. Super CID and S-off. Tampered message gone in boot loader. My laptop runs Windows 8, which I'm having an issue getting the HTC manager to stay open for some reason, even after an uninstall/ reinstall of the manager and drivers. The drivers themselves seemed to have installed fine as my device is recognized as "my HTC" though when in fastboot, my comp will tell me the device is unrecognized. Using the stock usb plug that came with my phone and I've plugged in to both usb 3.0 and 2.0 ports. And yes, I do have ADB in the root of my computer, though I'm wondering if i need a different type of ADB since this is the one i used with windows 7 a while back..or does it matter?
I'd like to get things back to stock as much as possible and would be very appreciative. Thanks!

if your problem is adb have you tried to add it in the "Environment Variables" ?
have you enabled USB debugging in your phone ?
i have windows 8 too and i don't have this kind of problem
I use windows 8 and it has mostly been trouble free for me. However I did have problems with my laptop recognising my phone when in recovery. It eventually worked on it's own but I found this after:

Maybe try installing the windows 8 drivers above.

Mine was recognised everywhere (including recovery). I'd get the beep from windows 8 and the driver would initialise but it wasn't recognised by adb.
If you haven't tried installing the above drivers yet it certainly wouldn't hurt to try.

You mean it's showing up as QHSUSB_DLOAD in Device Manager?
Unfortunately that would indicate a hard brick, no fix, as far as I am aware of.
Welcome to the group of unfortunate people.
I guess the best option would be to send it back for warranty repairs, mine is the same and I'm 99.99% sure it has to do with the charging port.
Unfortunately for me I'm out of the US so warranty shipping is not an option at the moment.
There are other threads about this problem, but so far the only ones I heard that solved this problem was by repair or replace.

No, it's not bricked it works ok but only charges through wall charger and if you plug it up to a pc it gets into "USB Host Mode" and then you have to reboot to be able to charge from the wall charger.
My HTC showed the same message. Saying it can not charge into host mode.
HTC only charges powered off.

What Windows version you running?
but be careful, QHSUSB_DLOAD mode is a brick... sooner or later
maybe best to get yourself an ubuntu live usb, and check adb and fastboot connections there. you can use this guide by @tobesedated to create a Live USB http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2606577
maybe it's just bad/outdated windows drivers.

Steps 8-15 of my guide show how to set up adb/fastboot in Ubuntu 32bit and to check if your device is recognized. You don't have to install Ubuntu just select to try it. I think that's what scares everyone off, is thinking they have to install the OS...It seems like a lot of work but it really isn't and compared to what you've gone through, it can't hurt....good luck

Win 7 and XP are pretty much OK with any drivers & hboot & firmware/rom, but what is it exactly showing you when you say "USB Host Mode"?
Have you considered uninstalling everything with HTC.... in control panel, and installing newer version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2089508
then see if you get MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) working again.
USB Host Mode (as in Qualcomm High Speed USB Download Mode) is NOT a good sign! it's a brick about to happen.
maybe try changing the cable you are using to your PC!!!
EDIT: and make sure you're phone's USB port is not dirty or similar

1. "Phone is in USB mode" appears as a notification on the phone when plugged to the computer.
2. Installed 3 different ROMs with the same result, uninstall everything, and nothing.
3. Don't know how to get back MTP.
4. Brick??
5. I try to charge it, but same thing happens.
6. Clean the port, and nothing.

let's take this down a notch, we dont care what your phone says, we care what shows up in Windows 7 Device Manager (or XP, maybe even Win8):
for example
I really haven't explored what steps are needed to get it back to stock, but mine connects to the pc as long as it's in bootloader so I can flash stuff like Fw but nothing that need to get into the sd card. (as far as I know).

I'm thinking this a port issue, is damage somehow, however, I hope to find a software solution.
New Firmware
Phone that was purchased was not recognized by my computer in recovery and was locked with no S-Off and did not have a Super CID, but assuming that you have all of those things already and are developing these issues then I would try updating the firmware. For some reason, after flashing the 5.11.1540.9 firmware from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485651 and updating to ARHD 71.1 the charging issue all has seemed to disappear. If anyone wants the full run down of how I got from my original non-functioning and unrecognized phone to where it is now I can put in details, but as far as I can tell the issue is just with the firmware if you find yourself being able to intermittently charge in different scenarios when it is off.
Loading New Firmware
Also, for some reason, computer would not recognize phone with TWRP recovery yet I could push files through adb when using CWM recovery. So what happened for me was loading up CWM and pushing the files that I needed into the data folder and flashing TWRP to then install it or rebooting the phone as normal and finding the file with something like a root file explorer. I feel like I may not be very clear with this so post if there needs to be more clarification.
it's a strange issue ,i think it is a hardware problem,happen to me and i try everything possible,without success,than i charge phone when power of and it was the only way ,but led was flashing so it was intermittent charging,i was able to charge only to 97%..i use my phone and somehow next day i was able to charge phone,but then problem occur again...and wired thing is that fastboot devices list is not empty but adb devices list is empty,so phone is not fully recognized by computer,and i forgot to say that day when i was able to charge phone,adb command worked...that day i flashed firmware recovery and rom again ,because i thought it will resolve the problem...

Hello,
Ive Google play edition installed and TWRP recovery, S-off - I bought the phone on ebay and was going to sell it again but the guy wanted stock rom. So I checked this guide htc1guru.com/guides/return-stock-guide/] and started following it, it worked till flash RUU.exe and after that I received waiting for device. Now when I try fastboot command I always get waiting for device. I tried everything from reinstalling drivers, another ports, another cable but without luck. Any advice how to proceed and get the stock ROM ?
Thank you

my first guess is that you are using windows 8.1 with hboot 1.44? If yes then find a windows 7 computer.

When I enter in fastboot mode I get Unknown USB device - device failed enumeration and so on.

Simplest solution is to use windows 7, linux or macOS. Windows 8.1 will not work with hboot 1.44. There is a fix somewhere but I dont know, never tried myself.
I've been looking for a while for a forum with someone who has my problem hoping to solve it on my own but i haven't found one so if this is a duplicate please post a link so i can do it! thank you!
As far as i know, this m7 has never had s-off because as long as i've had it i haven't been able to access fastboot. i bought it from swappa and it already had root and a custom rom. However a few months later i thought i was going to sell it so i flashed an RUU onto it and declined root. the sale fell through and i'm trying to put a custom rom on it again but i don't have a recovery anymore. it must have gotten wiped when i flashed the RUU? i declined root when i flashed it (because of the sale) and not having root OR a recovery OR access to fastboot i'm not sure what to do from here.
ADB works just fine, as far as i know. i DO have the fast boot option turned off within the os (which is the only thing that boots) i have Hboot 1.44 which should apparently be a BREEZE to get s-off and root with except neither I, or any of the apps, programs, one click root's i've tried have been able to access fastboot.
i HAVE tried multiple machines with multiple OS. (windows 8.1 and Ubuntu 14) i've tried multiple cables. i've tried usb 3.0 and usb 2.0. i've installed htc sync drivers on the windows machine. i've tried the 'naked' unsigned drivers that a few people have said made fastboot work for them but they never worked. although what confuses me most is i've never had a problem with ADB. adb reboot bootloader works for me no issue but as soon as i get into fastboot this device has never been recognized.
at this point i'm rrreeeaaalllyyy tempted to just trash it but i was hoping this phone would last me until the rest of the year so i could save up for the m9.
Thank you so much for your help!! I was as thorough as I could be with the details.. I hope it's enough.
I believe hboot 1.44 had issues with recognition on Windows 8+. Did you try a computer with an older version of windows? I think there is also a thread that might help you out on that.

i haven't had the option yet to try with windows 7 but i had hoped that Ubuntu would recognize it because all the problems i've heard from windows 8+ were with the usb drivers.. i will see if i can get my hands on a win 7 machine though.
