Where can I find these? HTC Sync isn't giving me them...
You can try the pdanet app to install the right drivers, but Im really surprised that HTC Sync is not working. So go on the market and find pdanet app install it on your phone and then go to here: http://www.junefabrics.com/android/ and download the version for your computer, then hook up your phone to your computer and it should install the right drivers.
Update : You can also try here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=802316&highlight=drivers
When you say that HTC Sync isn't giving them to you, what do you mean exactly ? Because HTC Sync includes a whole load of USB drivers, located in (for XP, anyway) \Program Files\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files.
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.

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).

I'm trying to root my HTC Desire but falling at one of the first hurdles: I'm not able to install the driver software, I see the following error:
hxxp://i.imgur.com/5n720Wi.png
I'm running Windows 8 64-bit, and I'm trying to follow the steps to root as described here: androidforums.com/desire-all-things-root/300866-guide-rooting-htc-android-2-2-1-lower-unrevoked-windows-updated-20th-december-2012-a.html
I've installed HTC Sync and uninstalled HTC manager, and uninstalled Dropbox. I can connect to the Desire via USB both in HBOOT (with a successful USB connection message) and in regular Android OS.
I experimented with a couple other drivers - "Universal_Naked_Driver_0.72.zip" and "Acer_A1.win8.usb_drivers.x86_x64.rar" I found mentioned elsewhere.
Are there other drivers available? Any other advice for me to root this for the first time?
I have posted sometime earlier workaround to get it working on Win8, search.

That's not right. Because your screenshot shows an Android 1.0 Device and this means the Desire isn't connected correctly.
Uninstall ALL about HTC and Desire. start the device manager and there activate in the options show disabled Device. Than you look in EVERY directory for Android, Desire, HTC. And remove the Drivers. right klick, remove and than yes and make sure if there is a option that says complete delet the driver say yes.
For Fastboot drivers:
Start Desire in Fastboot, and than you connect to the PC. Normaly Win 8 searches for Drivers. Than it says nothing found. Try in the Device Manager right Klick on Android 1.0 - If there is something about HTC Bootloader with an ! than you have an diferent problem - and research for drivers -> Internet. Than it normaly should work. If not download these drivers directly from unrevoke.
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install directly from unrevoked.
and go to device manager, install drivers from PC. Also here make sure the unknown device is an Android 1.0 if the name is different pls tell us.
For Normal use:
after Fastboot works, you download the newest HTC Sync for Desire: http://www.htc.com/de/support/news.aspx?p_id=312&p_name=htc-desire
Ok run the installation BUT After you startet setup it says something like there are a few things missing befor installing. These are HTC Driver, something about Adobe, install these. After that the installer ask for some agreements for HTC Sync now you cancle the install, because all you need are the drivers and they are now installed. It should work now.
If there are some more problems let me know. I had some trouble with the ADB and fastboot drivers a week ago, too but now it works
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.

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.
Can anyone help me?
I'm running windows 8 64-bit, and I have an HTC One from VZW.
The phone is recognized via ADB, but whenever I get into the bootloader, it tells me the device isnt recognized and I can't do any fastboot commands with it. I was able to root and use fastboot on my N7 2013 from the same PC, so this is frustrating because I want to send my One in to sonic but if I can't DO anything when I s-off there's no point in sending it it.
If anyone can help I'd appreciate it.
Thanks
PS - I've only tried this PC, no others. It may work on my macbook but thats away for repair.

I would just install HTC Sync, sounds like it's a driver issue and HTC Sync will provide those needed new drivers for HTC.

sorry, thought I read it installed all the new drivers, you could try using Google to find the HTC current drivers, I can give you the numbers I have on mine my cpu is win 7 64bit not sure if it'll help but when in "uninstall or change a program" my HTC BMP USB Driver driver # is 1.0.5375
and my HTC Driver Installer driver # is 4.0.1.001
can't say it this helps at all but this is the CPU I used that I fixed the issue with
Best of luck!

Maybe I can find that other one and it will work for me
Here is a previous post I made to another guy having the same problem. Not sure if this will help but this is what I did.
I had this problem too running windows 8 x64. I think my problem was that I installed the sdk first with google's USB driver and not HTC's driver. What I did to make it work is switch computers over to my wifes which at the time I hadn't installed anything on yet. I went to htcdev.com and went to the part of the site where it is step-by-step on how to unlock the bootloader. I installed the Java Runtime Environment on the link provided on the upper right side of the site, then I installed the HTC sync manager on the link provided as well. I had my phone connected to my computer usb 2.0 (not usb 3.0) the whole time and with USB debugging enabled (not in fastboot mode, but with phone normally on). After that I took the three files from the sdk that htc wants you to place in a separate folder and put them in c:\Android. I did not install anything from sdk this go around.. i just took the three files out and put them in a separate folder as instructed by htc. After that I opened cmd and directed it to the folder I placed the files in (cd c:\Android) and ran command "adb reboot bootlader" Once I did that and hit fastboot the "My HTC" in device manager no longer had an exclamation point. So in summary, I couldn't reverse the drivers from my computer that I installed first so I resorted to using my wife's computer that didn't have anything installed yet. I installed JRE, then HTC sync software, and just used the 3 files HTC wants from sdk and placed them into a separate folder. I didn't install anything from sdk. It all worked after that. I don't have instructions on how to reverse the usb drivers you have already installed because I couldn't figure it out... in fact, I formatted windows on my pc and am reinstalling. Hope this helps.

Yeah I'm going to try it out on my roommates laptop that only has samsung drivers and the ADB installed and see what happens. Can't reformat the PC cause it's my School desktop and I've got work on there.
Once my macbook pro comes back from repairs I'll use that though, since I've never had issues running adb commands on my mac
Found a soultion
After I tried almost everything I tried to improvise and try something totally different and it worked!
First uninstall the driver in the Device Manger and then press to update it >> then press Browse my Computer for driver Software >> then press on Let me pick from list.... >> in the list choose the Portable Devices >> choose MPT USB Drive !
And It works...
:good:

MPT USB Drive isnt one of my options
However I've found that it's microsofts USB3 drivers, which override the Intel ones.
I just got my macbook back from repairs and it has USB3 ports as well so I was worried it wouldnt work, but its working fine from there
I'm having this same problem and nothing I do is working. I even tried from another computer but had no luck. adb finds the phone fine but fastboot just won't work. This is keeping me from getting S-Off. Someone please help.
Edit: Nevermind I think the issue is that I'm using Windows 8.1
I'm having the same problem I'm windows 8 64bit...
I have a nagging feeling that it's pda net.. I need to look into it today sometime
