its highly recommend to run unrevoked under linux (ubuntu)...windows is soo buggy..(ive tried it 3 hours without success...under linux it took 3 seconds!)
also always check the md5 checksum of any files you will flash on your phone.
and of course always take the newest version of unrevoked

Not true.
Rooted 3 phones under windows 7 without issues and fast. (just a note: 3 sec under linux is ridiculous)
But some people are too lazy to read and set up the program for windows correctly

i did not say its impossible. But its very inconvenient, needs much longer cause of the driver install, install the htc sync, delete it again, install the modyfied USB driver etc..
Under linux no prob...boot linux, plug your device on, rund Unrevoked and wait 3 secs...done
btw how often can you sync your phone with htc sync under win7 without an reboot of your pc? This works only 1 time and then Htc Sync finds no device again. Don't misunderstood me, i am a fan of Windows but in some points its just to buggy.

I never used HTC sync. It waqs never installed, because unrevoked does not needs it (there is the modified USB driver) + I use google sync.

As far as I know, unrevoked (not revolutionary) needs hboot funders plus htc sync drivers (but not the software, because unrevoked does not work then).
Swyped from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App

As far as I can remember unrevoked needs modified hboot drivers provided on their site. Even then it wouldn't detect my phone. In ubuntu it was a breeze.
The drivers installed by HTC sync are for adb as they differ from manufacture to manufacturer or even phone model, therefore Google don't include them.
HTC should offer them as a separate download instead of requiring you to install HTC sync, which although installed the drivers for me, HTC sync itself never worked

Help Connecting with CDMA Workshop?

Hello, I finally got drivers to work while my EVO was in Diag mode, but it will not show me a com port, here is a screenshot.
I have searched all other categories and can't find anything.
It only shows up as My HTC in device manager, no more HTC DIAG
Please assist in this matter as I would love to connect with CDMA Workshop.

First of all Welcome!! I fixed your image for you. Look under ports in device

I have looked under everything and under ports is only Com1 which isnt it and printer port.
huh? I literally just installed the htc diag drivers and put the phone it diag mode (##3424#) and everything went perfectly and showed right up in device manager under ports (com 3). Took 2 mins... Not trying to brag.
try unplugging phone>rebooting computer>put phone in diag mode and connect usb
I understand that, I did that too and it worked. Then I rebooted and now it shows up as My HTC.... and no com port to choose from ((((
huh.. try right clicking and uninstalling my htc then reconnecting your phone in diag mode and running the drivers that way.
I did uninstall it, also chose delete drivers. Then I can see it show up as HTC DIAG without a driver. I choose the Driver for installation... It installs and just shows up as My HTC.
I attached the htc diag drivers I just used a little while ago. When it prompts you for the driver direct it to the win x86 folder that you unzip.

ahh ok attached 64 bit then
This is the problem I was having before untill I searched and found someone that provided a VISTA 64bit version of the driver which is the only one that worked out of like 10.
The driver you provided will not install the HTC DIAG.
And if I use the Vista driver then it installs but automatically says My HTC.
--- Don't worry this is just my luck, nothing ever goes easy when I try to do stuff
Sorry man check THIS thread out & maybe THIS one too. Hope they can help you better than I was able to.

HTC Sync/One X and Windows 7 64 drivers

Hi all,
I know that are several posts on here about this issue, but none of them are helping me.
I've installed HTC Sync 3.2.10 on a Windows 7 Professional 64 but when I connect the One X the computer doesn't see it. Since then I've unninstalled and installed the HTC Sync several times and now I've installed the HTC Sync 3.2.20 but without sucess.
Can someone give a tip on how to put this to work?
I even tried to install the driver manually going into the HTC driver folder but also without success.
Thanks
Any ideais? For 2 days that I have the phone and I can not even put a decent ringtone due to this problem.
Try airdroid you can find it in the market.

I had no issues at all with a Win7 X64 computer. Make sure you're using the original cable, and that it's plugged into one of the motherboard ports, not off a hub/front port etc.
And I assume I'm asking a silly question, but you are looking at the phone when doing this? When you plug in you have to pull down notification, select the usb option, and select sync/charge/disc drive etc.

htc Sync Driver
please guys, I tried all the ways to get my MOX recognized by my PC, but there is no yet !!!!
I installed and Uninstalled many times !!!
so what I have to do ?? please help
How I installed HTC Drivers on the One X (64-bit)
ENABLE USB DEBUGGING FIRST !​
1. Download this.
2. Extract it anywhere easy to find (I recommend Desktop).
3. Connect your phone.
4. Press Start, search for Device Management.
5. You should find something like this

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
6. Click on Other>HTC.
7. Click Update Drivers.
8. Click Browse my Computer for Driver Software.
9. Click Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
10. Click Show All Devices
11. Click Have Disk.
12. Click Browse.
13. Navigate to the Drivers you unzipped earlier.
14. Inside it, look for androidusb.INF and click open.
15. Choose My HTC
16. Now it should say it successfully installed.
If it doesn't, it means you have a 32-bit PC and you tried to use 64-bit drivers. It WILL NOT work. If you're a 32-bit user, here's the 32-bit drivers. Just follow the same steps as above but use these drivers instead.
Hope this helps, this is the only advice I can give to people having trouble with connecting their HOX.
Try wit Factory reset its a common issue after JB upgrade,because after every software upgrade inside phone must be all partitions cache formatted.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
I did all of these, but the problem still as it is
Not had a single problem getting my HOX recognized by my pc running win 7 home premium x64.
I did find with the upgrade to JB that it needed a bit of help though.
Try this, when you plug in your phone pull down the top bar.
next press usb connected, this brings up anther menu.
Press usb network setting, this brings up yet another menu.
Now select usb tethering, or internet pass through. i found this brought up the icon for the phone on my pc with out installing htc sync.
Remember to switch back to none afterwards though, this seems to work for most people as a workaround.
Mine finds my phone as a mtp device so its fine

HTC Desire C root problem

Hello, I want to root my HTC Desire C with Superboot R1 but I cant. When I try it on Windows, the cmd shows me:

When I try it on Ubuntu it shows me boot.img error or something similarly. Please, help me, I dont know what I am doing wrong.
Thanks
Are you f**king kiding me?! At first I must root the phone. Please dont spam this thread. Thanks
Are you running it as administrator? If you do, please try simply launching it without admin rights.
And no, he is not "f**king kiding" you. You don't need root to flash a new ROM, you need custom recovery for that job.
Yes, I run it as administrator and I tried it without admin rights too. It just doesnt work.
In Linux it shows me:
downloading 'boot.img'... FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes))
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And I know that I dont need root to flash a rom, but for flashing rom I need recovery and recovery needs root permissions. I rooted a lot of android devices and I know what I do and how it works. But this phone is really hard to root.
Thanks for reply
Try redownloading the boot.img, that's all I can think of.
You can also try this fastboot for Windows, it works fine with my Desire C.
Thanks
I think that in Windows is problem in drivers. Here is screen of drivers list:
As you can see (sorry, Iam from Slovakia and so I have Slovak language in Windows), I havent driver for Android Phone and I think that this is the main problem. But why it wont works in Linux?
I can try your fastboot but I think that it will not works because I havent Android Phone driver.
And in Linux, how I can redownloading boot.img?
Just download it again from Modaco. I think that is the problem.
And if you're interested I can give you drivers for Windows 8 that work with fastboot, being a little weird sometimes though.
Yes, when I double click on boot.img it shows me that the file is damaged. But I downloaded it from modaco again and it shows me that same.
I would like to ask you if you could me upload the drivers which works, because I would like to root this phone finally.
Thanks
I really hope your OS is 64 bit, turns out I don't have 32 bits drivers. I hope this can solve the problem, even though I doubt to(fingers crossed). If it doesn't work, then I really don't know what the problem could be.
YES!!! You are really fantastic! Thank you so much, finally my phone is rooted. Thank you so much
Whoa! Nice, I'm really glad I helped. :highfive:

Problems connecting to PC on latest JB leak from Baadnewz

I am having issue connecting to PC (on XP here but also issues on Vista 64 at home). No matter what I try I can't access storage to copy to/from my PC to my phone. I understand that JB now uses MTP rather than USB Storage, but having spent about three hours now trying to find a solution I have to admit I am completely stumped
Having tried many options without success, and having installed and uninstalled HTC Sync at least six times I have started again from scratch reinstalling everything I could think of which might have a bearing. I have just reinstalled the full SDK, installed Windows Media Player 11 (for MTP), reinstalled .NET 4, installed latest version of HTC Sync, but still when I connect I get an error in device manager with Other Devices>Android Phone (also get the Hardware Wizard popup which always ends up saying not installed/could not locate software even if pointed directly at the Google USB driver folder in the SDK so it's obviously not this), and in HTC Sync it always shows no device connected. Fastboot and ADB both see it (devices). If I disable USB Debugging then it is recognised as an MTP device but then the Android Phone error kicks in and Sync doesn't see it.
This is my issue:

On the Android device in device manager right click then uninstall, tick delete drivers if the tick box is there (sometimes it isnt)
Keep doing that until it doesn't even say android device (it will keep reinstalling it) it should say unknown device or something similar. Then reinstall the htc driver software and try again
Windows buggers up like this sometimes, has several drivers for the same thing, AFAIK its a case of getting rid of all the "spares" and installing just the one driver
Hope this helps

I have tried installing HTC Sync, but it does not recognise the phone, but I was guessing that was due to Cyanogenmod (no HTC Bloatware to be found on my phone).
I realise I am running a nightly and am supposed to expect errors here and there, but before I upgraded to Windows 8, it worked through windows explorer (Win7 Ultimate, no extra software needed), now it doesn't.
Could you guys help me?
Ok so you installed HTC Sync and thus should have the latest drivers for HTC One M8 installed!? If not download newest version from HTC and reinstall.
Regarding adb fastboot: do you have the universal adb drivers which solve problems with Windows 8/8.1? If not you can find them here on xda for download. Don't have the link at hand as I'm at work at the moment.

Thank you for your reply!
I searched for the mentioned drivers and installed them. I now have only one device in device manager that is not installed:
However, when I try to have Windows look drivers or install from the device list, It just searches for drivers indefinitely.
Also interesting is the fact that when I unplug my phone, the HID device stays in device manager.
Frankly I am lost.
Is this a known bug with CM? It is REALLY annoying.
If you installed the adb drivers I mentioned you could check if the One is recognized by them. If you open up as cmd. Plug the device into the PC and navigate to your Annenberg folder you type the following:
adb kill-server (to stop it if running)
adb start-server (to start it)
adb usb
adb devices
Is your One M8 shown after this commands?

Thank you for your input.
I tried adb commands.
when I first started the server (using adb start-server) I had a notification saying that the device was listed as seen here.
View attachment 2923953
The notification was on the phone itself, but now I can only find this with adb services in command prompt.
When I enter adb usb or adb root, it merely hangs - nothing happening after at least 15 minutes of waiting.
I am lost again.
Can you point me to the ROM you are using? I am willing to reflash the phone to see if the underlying cause is actually Cyanogenmod, but if it is, I want a good ROM, preferably one where I can choose to NOT use Sense UI (personal preference).
Thank you for your help so far
