[Q] Problem Updating HBoot

I am getting an error doing the HBoot!
HTC Sync is uninstalled and i rebooted my com after uninstalling
Basically the error says its unable to find driver software for my device
Sorry i can't post the screenshot, post count is too low

Why would you want to update hboot. But since you have a driver error try finding the hboot drivers.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Oops i didn't mean update, i meant install

What is it you're trying to do? If you mean S-OFF then you just run the CD and plug your phone in. If you're already S-OFF and want to flash a new MTD then you do so using fastboot

I'm trying to root my phone.
I read from guides that i have to install the HBoot drivers first. I suppose this part is correct.

OK, things are a bit clearer...
I take it you have unrEVOked 3.32 downloaded correct? Then follow these instructions (from their website):
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install

Yes exact same place which i was refering to. But i have no idea why mine doesn't install. It says Windows could not find driver software for your device. I have downloaded the modified usb driver.
I would post the screen shot but i dun have enough post counts >.<

You need to point Windows to the place where the driver is (personally I didn't have to use the modified one, the HTC Sync drivers were enough)

so i should skip the HBoot drivers step? I'm using Windows btw.
I should be giving the correct directory.
I have to extract the usb driver right

How I did it:
1. Install HTC Sync
2. Uninstall HTC Sync but leave the HTC Drivers
3. Boot phone into HBOOT and connect to PC and wait for driver to be installed
4. Turn phone on again in normal Android
5. Set USB Debugging on
6. Start unrEVOked
7. Set custom recovery (as I like to use AmonRA)
8. Connect phone to PC
9. Allow unrEVOked to complete

what do you mean in step 3 wait for the driver to install?

Hboot drivers install unsuccesful (UnrEVOked)

This bother me a lot!
I've tried to install UnrEVOked on my Desire, but I can't install these lame drivers!
They keep on failing, either they tell me, that my drivers can't be updated to any better. Or that my install of the drivers were unsucessful.
Do any of you know what to do?
Windows XP, SP3.
I do have HTC Sync, I've tried several times, restartet my computer.
Any help would be appreciated.

im no expert i only just used unrevoked a few days ago, i never installed htc sync and was wondering why i couldnt get it to work, but i had to install then uninstall htc sync then put the phone into recovery then install the hboot drivers. try unstalling htc sync

You if have HTC sync installed on your computer, you need to uninstall this, doing this leaves the correct drivers.
Swyped from HTC desire

Follow this steps it should make you ready to go. Also check if you have PVT-4(boot into Hboot (from off, hold volume down and press power)), and if you have it then download Terminal emulator from the market and open it.
Type "cat /proc/mtd" and press enter. It will return results of either 20,000 or 40,000.
If you get 20,000 you must select AmonRa (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20471345/SUroot/Tools/Android/Recovery/recovery-RA_2.0.1.img) as custom recovery from UnrEVOked: File->CustomRecovery (or Ctrl+R) and select the img you just downloaded.
If you have 40,000 you don't need the modify anything, unless you want AmonRa instead of CWM.
Install HTC Sync
Remove HTC sync (application only) via Control panel (add remove programs / programs and features) - This should leave the drivers behind, which we need to keep.
Install the Hboot drivers (http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/lib/e...revoked.com/recovery/android-usb-driver.zip):
Extract your hboot driver files somewhere you will remember.
Boot into Hboot screen (from off, hold volume down and press power)
Connect Desire to PC (the screen will then show "HBOOT USB")
Right click "My computer" > Manage > Device Manager
Expand "Other Devices" in the right-hand pain and locate "Android 1.0 device"
Right click on Android 1.0 and click Update Driver Software
Click on Browse my computer for driver software.
Click on Browse and select the Android USB Driver folder you extracted earlier (press OK to any errors received and Close when complete)
Check Android Bootloader Interface is listed under Android Phone in device manager.
Credits for these steps goes to SUroot.

If you have 40,000 you don't need the modify anything, unless you want AmonRa instead of CWM.
If you have erase size 40000 you need to use amonra 2.01.

To install them, you must be in the bootlader (HBOOT).

HTC one vx fastboot trouble

Hey guys, I have an HTC one vx. After searching for about a week about my problem, I am posting on here.
I have been trying to root so I can get the tethering app, and custom roms, etc. When I attempt to connect any computer in my house (windows 8,7) to my in fastboot mode HTC, windows pop up saying... The USB device that you have connected has malfunctioned. It shows up in device manager with a yellow arrow over it. I've tried installing HTC sync, uninstalling that, installing pdanet drivers, updating in device manager, manually updating in device manager from android SDK and pdanet directories, tried usbdevview, tried switching cables, USB ports, everything. Any suggestions? I'm at a loss of what to do. Adb works when booted up though. Most annoying problem ever.

Boot into windows 7 uninstall htc manager and it will ask "want to remove all drivers with it" or something like that, click yes then from there install latest HTC manager from HTC site, once installed plug in Phone and HTC manager should give proper drivers

[Q] Unrecognized Device only in hboot/fastboot

Let me say beforehand that I am a lifetime lurker. I would not be posting here if I hadn't already spent at least two days scouring the web for an answer.
My HTC Desire HD cannot connect to HTC Sync, but it can connect as a storage device, and can be seen by adb. Whenever it connects while in hboot/fastboot, it will flicker "USB" a few times before Windows tell me it's not recognized (Device failed enumeration code 43). This includes using the RUU wizard from HTC. That will just make it stick on "RUU" in the bootloader.
I have tried every driver download suggested on this site. I have switched USB cables three times (all htc cables). I have used two seperate computers (Windows 8 and Windows 8.1).
I'll admit I'm a nooby specifically to Androids. All I want to do is flash new ROMs/root my device. As far as I know this is step one, and I can't go any further until I've unlocked my bootloader.
EDIT: SOLVED
HTC Desire HD drivers really hates Windows 8 and 8.1. Installed Windows 7 32-bit and it worked just fine.

That error can be a pain in the ass. I have it as well. I believe disabling griver signature enforcement in win8 (it's your OS, isn't it?) should allow installing adb drivers, but I was too lazy to check it. As a workaround I instead flash the boot.img in bootloader by putting it to PD98IMG.zip
I can upload you a template, leave the txt in it and replace the boot.img with your desired one, choose store (none) compression level, then put the zip directly (don't use folders) in sd card
EDIT: I didn't fully read your post before. If you don't have S-OFF most probably you can't get away without adb drivers..

Turned off device signing. No effect.

Have you tried now manually installing drivers in device manager while the phone is in unrecognized state? Does it still say the drivers are incompatible?
If your OS is 64bit, you need these http://d-h.st/23V

I have those drivers. I installed them manually. I tried the updating the drivers through device manager and pointing them directly to the drivers folder I need, and Windows is insistent that not having ANY drivers installed is the best driver to have installed for my device.
I am getting a pop up saying that the device is failing to to start. It's not like other usb devices I might have plugged in and they just sit there in at least their correct category in device manager.
The part that ticks me off most, is that this exact problem on this exact model has been solved on three different forums, and each time the OP just said "nvm I fixed it" and never even bothered to explain how for the rest of us.
It's really hard not to curse right now.

in device manager update dialog goto
browse my computer --> let me pick --> have disk --> choose the .inf from the drivers path.

Ya, I had tried that too. None of them will work. It says the file I chose doesn't have compatible software for my device.
Once again, this only happens in the hboot/fastboot/RUU. Once the phone has loaded the OS it works totally completely fine, save for HTC Sync not seeing the phone and vice versa. I don't understand why some drivers would only work sometimes unless something is wrong with my bootloader, and if so, how do i fix it?

have you tried un-installing HTC SYNC?

Nothing is wrong with your phone, same thing happens to me, I just thought disabling driver signing should fix it, like I said I was too lazy to check it since I found workaround for my needs.

It is currently uninstalled.
@smoger:
I would try your workaround, but I' m not sure where to obtain the boot image I need. Also, I thought you could only change the S-Off if your bootloader was unlocked anyways?

Power down DHD and connect it to PC. I realized, my win7 was installing drivers, while phone was off.

It appears to be the same device/drivers when powered off or when in the Android environment. While in the bootloader, it shows as an unknown device.
I also noticed that only when I am trying to update via RUU, it says instead "Device Descriptor Request Failed"

The boot.img is in the ROM-zip-file packed. But I think, if its a RUU it is called PD98...img

Try this, I know its from Samsung, but this installs fastboot drivers and drivers used for ADB access

For the set of Google Drivers, go here too http://d-h.st/23V

My drivers list does not show the Google or HTC drivers like yours does after installing all the things in your links. In fact, that's the fourth time I've downloaded those Google/HTC Win7 64x drivers from people around the web. They are not in my drivers list after installing them via the INF files. I must be doing something wrong.

Did you browse to the folder where the manual driver files reside?

To be exact I have:
Tried HTC Sync
Tried HTC Drivers Installer
Tried to Automatically search for drivers
Tried to install drivers by using the inf Install option
Tried to manually select drivers by pointing to the folder the Win7 64x drivers were placed
Tried to manually install by picking out the exact inf files
Tried to install from device drivers list, were they were not listed
Tried these steps with driver signing turned off
Tried all of these steps with another PC
I still think the issue is related to the fact that it only has problems in the bootloader menu

Ok, like u know I had this issue. Now I randomly managed to fix it when I needed adb drivers for my new toy (Sanei tablet for 40$ lol)
The mistake I was making is that I was trying to install the drivers while device was in fastboot, but apparently you can get away with casual "My HTC" drivers which can be installed when DHD is booted into Android. It looks likethe phone is not being detected from bootloader (it doesn't like any of the drivers I had tried), but I can fully use ADB while it's in recovery or starting/trying to boot OS, so it should be enough for rooting/unlocking bootloader.
I remember with HTC Wildfire I had drivers package with seperate drivers for Android and fastboot, so I had to install different driver after rebooting to fastboot, but with these new drivers and win8 it doesn't work out this way.

Solved. Used Windows 7 32-bit. Windows 8.1 was the culprit.

I am facing the same problem and I too have tried different methods like you did. Am using Windows 8.
Gotta try on Windows 7. Shall update if that solves my problem too.

[Q] HTC DESIRE 816 USB driver problem

Hi, My HTC Desire 816 is about 2 weeks old. I've had problems connecting the device to my personal computer (running Windows 7). I've reinstalled HTC Sync Manager several times, turned on USB Debugging, and even switched cables and ports but to no avail. When I try to update the driver, Windows faces an error saying it's unauthorized to install the driver for the device. However, the device connects perfectly to my office laptop also running Windows 7. I am able to transfer files on that system but not on my personal computer. The HTC website also has been of no help, except for asking to reinstall HTC Sync Manager. Please help. Thank You.

me too, need help

Tethering & Internet Pass Through
I have installed the latest version of HTC Sync Manager for my Desire 816 on Windows 7 and tried it on Windows XP as well.
When I connect my device for the first time after that,the drivers install automatically.
My system is recognizing the phone as a mass storage device.
But when I select the 'Internet pass through' connection type, it doesnt connect and after some time gives the error as
"Either you dont have the latest HTC drivers or ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,please get latest drivers by intalling latest HTC sync manger from the website"
I have tried to uninstall and re-install the HTC sync manager several times but had no success with Internet Pass through.
Might be the issue with the drivers,cant understand the reason.
Can anyone help me out with this.

I have also the same problem.

I am pretty sure that you guys have already tried all those, but just wanted to remind you all again as a benefit of doubt. HTC sync manager will install the required drivers usually, but in some cases due to firewall or any antivirus systems within our computer, only few files will get installed and other will get blocked. The best way to tackle this problem is to follow the below steps
1. Uninstall the HTC related drivers if installed partially previously.
2. Reboot the system - which is must
3. Then turn of your firewall or internet security or antivirus on your computer for 10 min or more
4. Connect the HTC 816 to computer using the different USB port that is not used before. (Every new USB port needs installing drivers. So hopefully this might help)
5. Install the HTC sync manager
Hopefully it should recognise. If not, try following the same steps with different USB cable.
Hit thanks if I helped you so that I will know the above steps worked for you guys too as they did work for me personally. All the best.
