adb issues. tough case. - Verizon HTC One (M7)

ok, I am really in dead end here. I think I spent on it more than 4 days, trying to figure it out. No luck, hopefully someone here can help.
My One isn't recognized under adb fastboot. And what I mean: under device managers it shows that the device is installed fine ( no yellow exclamation marks ). But when I try to adb, no luck. No devices recognized.
wait.. before you refer me to gadzillions of links - I've been there, seen them. What I did so far:
1) Installed linux ( live cd and normal ). When in the OS, I can browse my sd card. Once I reboot into fastboot, adb devices returns empty list.
2) installed htc drivers, naked drivers, universaladb drivers, intel usb3 drivers ( tried on both usb2 and usb3 ports )
3) various laptops and pcs
no luck. I am running out of ideas. What am I missing ? pliz help, I am desperate to adb to update recovery.
PS. Tried that on windows 7, 8, 8.1 and linux

If your just trying to update your recovery you can use flashify from the playstore.

I don't recall seeing it mentioned in any of the recipes, cookbooks or how-to postings, but I found that in Linux, you should run your adb and fastboot instructions either logged in as root, or using sudo.

Make sure you don't have any phone software installed on the computer as well. HTC sync and Kies can cause problems with adb. Also make sure that adb debugging is turned on in developer settings. You probably already did that, but ya never know, I overlook the simple stuff all the time.

did you take 4.3 update
If you did I have same issue with adb but fastboot options work just fine as long as your s-off if you need any help let me know i went and reloaded hboot and a cwm and also wrote my cid to super and unlocked through htc dev then changed my cid back to verizons

thanks guys, yep, HTC sync manager was installed /uninstalled. Not sure what what's kies. Also I executed sudo on linux. Nothing freaken works. I am s-off unlocked via sonic. Drives me insanely mad. Seems like this phone just refuse to work with me.

I know this might seem like a dumb idea but have you tried a different cable? Are you using the one that came with the phone?

I don't know you so forgive me if what follows is too simplistic or unrelated to your issue. Just trying to help.
You mentioned your phone is not recognized "under adb fastboot." Do you mean under neither adb nor fastboot?
Are you trying to use adb from the bootloader? The reason I ask is you mentioned that after you "reboot to fastboot," adb devices comes up empty. I assume "reboot to fastboot" means reboot to bootloader, in which case adb commands will not work. Did you try fastboot devices instead?
You also mentioned wanting to get adb working to update recovery, but again this would require fastboot, not adb.
Hope this is the problem as it's an easy fix!

Once in a while I get humbling experience, that reminds me that simple solutions are right in the front of me Xenakis. You are correct, I was trying to get adb under fastboot, which didn't return anything. Fastboot devices did. From there it was all straight up road to what I needed. Sorry to bother you guys with this, I though it was more complicated that this. It just appears like my ignorance of basic adb commands got the best of me. Thank you for helping me out.
Merry Christmas

Did you downloaded the android SDK, with the additional platform tools? (Your OS version, of course). Otherwise it won't work.
It,should be in the link I sent him.

Phone will not boot at all just htc logo,can't get into recovery either i have made a gold card.flashed a ruu, nothing working, so i'm hoping i can use adb to sort the recovery out, i'm just learning bits about android but it is all still pretty new to me so apologies if my questions seem daft
Not a problem. My advice usually gets more daft as the pints go down. Fortunately a non drinking week for me.
When you flashed, did you wipe all the cache memories before flashing?
Which ROM?
If it was Leedroid, your sd card has to have certain partitions. If they get hosed, phone will never boot.
Can you get into fastboot mode?
If yes try this

[Q] ADB shell error 'adb error device not found'

Galaxy Nexus GSM........
I cannot connect via ADB to my phone. ADB shells but 'adb devices' none is found. Drivers are installed correctly per device manager. Debugging is on.
The only thing I've found in the forums is that I can't select 'none' as my USB connection. The two check boxes won't un-check only behave like radio buttons.
I have always had to use "fastboot devices". Not sure if that is what u are looking for.

Uninstall all drivers and install those from the naked driver thread over in development.
'fastboot devices' is used only when on bootloader.

No luck. Always get 'no drivers for you phone found'. I guess I should have mentioned that I'm on W7/64 I did notice that mentioned a lot in the threads........ Any need to select the type of USB connection (none is not an option) ?
TIA, Jeff

OK I am getting further. When I enter adb devices I can see my phone until I type 'adb reboot bootloader'. As soon as I enter that command the phone does reboot into the bootloader but the USB connection drops as well.

That is because you just installed the "adb" driver for your device. You still need to install the "fastboot" driver. It is the same driver, it just needs to be installed twice - once when your device is booted normally, and once when it is booted in fastboot mode. I personally would use the Universal Naked Drivers by 1wayjonny that bk201doesntexist mentioned, not the PDA drivers or Samsumg drivers or any other ones. 1wayjonny's drivers do not install any other software on your PC - they are just the drivers, unlike the PDA drivers.
Thanks all getting there. Thanks efrant that got me to the next problem .
I unlocked the bootloader and pushed su.zip no problem. Now I have flashed su.zip successfully but I don't have root. I have flashed many times with no luck.

Use the version of su.zip from this post. I just made it yesterday with the latest binary and app, so that one will work.
Thanks efrant that worked. I have root and installed busybox.
There was a really good terminal app that showed up when you flashed Cyanogen but I can't find it in the store. Does anyone know the name? The main thing that I need out of this whole endeavor is ssh and the terminal that came on CM8 and/or 9 was perfect.

[Q] My stock HTC one X (HTC_001) keeps rebooting...

Desperately needs help here, and I've looked through a lot of different threads & forums...most bootloop problems are caused by custom roms...
Got my phone online from UK, I live in Canada, been using it since June 2012...everything was fine...until last week or so...
My phone all of a sudden start rebooting itself non-stop. It makes it to the home screen, but after 5-10 seconds, it starts re-booting until battery dies...I did not unlock my phone, nor tamper it in any way....
tried to perform a recovery, failed
tried to perform a factory reset, failed
the only way to turn the phone off and charge it is to go into fastboot and select "power down"
is there any way to solve this problem?? I just want my phone back and function properly.
I've attached some pictures showing software information...don't know if that helps.....:crying:
even just taking pics of software info already restarted twice on me....
please help...
I say warranty, the bootloader has never been unlocked. If you unlock it now and flash roms your warranty will be voided !
Even that you bought it second hand, there is a 2 year factory warranty.....
since warranty was mentioned...i decided to call HTC....
and the tech support guy told me to download this android.process.acore fix on their support website, and follow the instructions...
but since my phone keeps rebooting every 10 seconds after it reaches to the home screen...
How can I install that apk file manually? I would greatly appreciate anyone's help...
It could be pushed with adb commands, but i don't know how that works.....i am a noob with adb
Or tell them to give proper service and not ditch you with a non working solution for you :banghead:

i think it can be done
your phone boots to the locksrcreen, and from that point it does not reboot ? you can leave it there and connect the cable to the laptop. then open a command prompt inside the fastboot/adb folder on the pc
then type
adb install *name of the file.apk
the .apk file has to be in the fastboot/adb folder, otherwise you have to type out the whole location of where the .apk is !

Usb debugging is required for adb.
Do you have time to quickly go to settings -> developer options -> usb debugging and enable it. Then adb should work and the setting persist through reboots.

Once i plugged in the usb cable, USB debugging enabled automatically.
so I did exactly what you told me....but not quite sure if it's correct....
i got an error message
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found
i attached a picture of it...when i type fastboot devices...it did find my phone though....
I couldn't remember if I could ever use adb commands while in the bootloader. I tried recently to push an APK file using adb and absolutely could not do it while in fastboot or in the bootloader.
Here's how I eventually got around it:
ADB has a nifty command script that allows it to wait for the first instance your phone is ready to accept the commands
adb wait-for-device install "android.process.acore or something like that".apk
So, with the phone plugged into my laptop, I opened the folder with the apk and fastboot/adb files in it, opened a command prompt, ran the script and then rebooted my phone.
The adb script said waiting for device until the HTC logo screen started, then BAM! apk installed (even though my phone continued bootlooping).
Give it a shot and see what happens.
As far as i know adb works in recovery (at least a custom one,never tested on stock) and a working OS and fastboot only in the bootloader

[Q] Can't Sync Windows 8 with DInc

I am trying to sync my DInc with Windows 8 Pro to unlock it through the HTC developer site. Unrevoked wont work due to the version of my baseband being 2.15.10.12.20. Software version 2.3.4.
I have USB debugging enabled, fastboot off, performed a factory reset, cleared cache through HBOOT, and the computer DOES reckognize the phone and I am able to select open files and do whatever I need to do with the phone... it just wont display on HTCSync so I can go through the process of rooting it and getting JB on it.
I have also tried running HTCSync in compatability mode. I have been working on getting this working for days now, and have searched this and many other forums for solutions to no avail.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, and any more information you need will be provided asap.
Check the unrevoked site for the proper drivers of you haven't already. You don't need HTCSync to work, just adb.

I understand that unrevoked won't work, but you need your PC to connect to it as far as drivers go (most people use unrevoked drivers). You don't need HTCSync, just adb. If you can setup adb to work, and get it read when you issue
Code:
adb devices
then you should be good to.

How To Set Up Android ADB & Fastboot On Windows [Tutorial]
The only note on this guide I'd make, is not to use the C:\ drive. It's always a bad idea to put stuff in your root directory. Myself, I installed the sdk (which installed itself to C:\Program Files) then I added that to the system path. Also, you might have to reboot (or at least log off and log back on) to reset your PATH.

Issue with fastboot on Linux

Hey everyone. I just purchased a Asus ZenFone 2 (cheep model) and am attempting to root it/install a custom rom. However I have encountered difficulty with fastboot on my Ubuntu Linux machine. ADB works without any issues but fastboot does not always getting stuck on a endless <waiting for device> and my phone does not appear on the list of connect devices (fastboot devices). However my Nexus 7 (2013) works without any issues. I have tried running fastboot as root and didn't have any success. I was hoping that someone out here would have some idea why one device works but not the other. Thanks to anyone who can provide assistance.

I had the same issue. Tried it on windows (though I hate windows ) and it worked on windows. I am STILL trying to figure out how and why?
I had the same problem on Ubuntu 15.04, and I fixed it by uninstalling the outdated version of fastboot in Ubuntu's repositories and replacing it with the binary from the Android SDK platform tools.
The fastboot protocol may have changed slightly with Lollipop, and Ubuntu's fastboot and ADB packages say they're from 4.2. Remember to run fastboot as root unless you have the udev rules set up. Hope that helps!
yes i had a similar issue on ubuntu with the repo version. I actually got an error message saying i needed a newer version
Thanks. Using the version I got from the internet worked fine. I'm now getting and error about fingerprinting and stuff. Looks uke I'll have to wait for a way to unlock the bootloader on the latest version.
Hi I am having the same issue but when I search, I get a lot of info about updating ADB but nothing on Fastboot. For those that have figured this out, would you mind posting a link?
Thank you!

You will want the Android SDK tools. Here is the download page:
https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#Other
It's a 300MB download, so it's a bit overkill for what you need, but it is there.
Also, if you need to download it again (update), can use the SDK Manager (included) to select/download "Platform-Tools" (at the very least - if you find yourself emulating Android on your PC, you may want more).
