S-OFF a HTC One M8 on a MacBook - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys, i have a very big problem.
i cannot S-OFF and Root my M8 on my Mac
ADB are installed
Fastboot for Mac also.
USB-Ddebbuging is enabled.
where is the problem, it cant find my Device.

Is USB debugging enabled?
Also it should come up a little notification on the M8 asking for permission for the computer to use it... Did you accept that?

Thats strange...
Try:
Type adb kill-server
Type adb start-server
Type adb devices
I always set the superuser to accept all requests while doing ADB or fastboot, its just easier lol.
In my case I installed htc sync, then connected the one m8 and then dragged a couple of files, then uninstalled the htc sync and tried again... Just for drivers sake... Even on my Mac.

No doesnt work

[Q] ADB error device not found

Hey all, trying to push gtalk library files to MildWild 4.3 system dir has turned into a massive headache.
ADB doesn't recognize I have my device connected. Commands always return "error:device not found". "adb devices" command returns blank.
From the tutorials I've read in these forums, I was under the impression HTC Sync drivers in fastboot mode are needed to use ADB. No dice. I've tried other drivers I've found in the forms as well: "android-usb-driver.zip" from unrevoked and "adb_driver_htc.zip" (found this in the sim unlock utility thread).
Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this further?
What is the proper name of the device in device manager? Right now I'm using HTC Sync drivers in fastboot and the name is: Android USB Devices > My HTC.
The guides I've read never touch on this issue, they always skip it and assume the device is connectable.
Thanks in advance

To use ABD you need to be connected in recovery or a booted device.

Brilliant. Like you said, ADB recognized my device in both booted OS and recovery. However, I needed to be in recovery to push files to the system directory. Thanks.
You're welcome. You can push in booted device you just need to enable superuser rights in adb shell.

90% of the time the problem is with the drivers etc. Use this tutorial to fix that : http://goo.gl/OS3Vi
If you still encounter the problem then you can use ADBwireless available at google play to wirelessly connect your device to the computer
Hope it helps :highfive:
Unchecking MTP did it. Thanks!!
Why is that necessary on the N7Flo but not my old N7 or the N4 (or any other device I've had contact with for that matter)?
Also, anyone know how I can get devices to show up as a folder...you know...like a thumb drive?

You can't. Both the n4 and the n7 have their memorys formatted as ext4, partition type that windows can't access normally. MTP was the only sollution google had.

[Q] HTC One X Cyanogen 10.1

Hi Guys
Ive installed Cyanogen 10.1 on m HTC One X all went fine no issues with install etc. However since I have installed im unable to get my PC to identify my htc one x for an ADB connection. I have updated all software from SDK Manager its no longer asking for downloads however the device is never found by ADB. I used the all in one toolkit to root and install the rom but this is now coming up with the same error. I have read that some phone need an edited driver once updated to cyanogen 10.1 does anyone have the modified inf file for the one X all i can find is one for the Samsung which doesnt work I already give it a shot .
Any help appriciated as i spend a good few hours trying to work this one out last night.
You have to enable USB debugging and allow ADB in developer options... Both are by default disabled on CyanogenMod

Hi Mate
Thanks for the responce sorry should have said I have already enabled Developer Options within Cyanogen and have enabled usb debugging and the new one required for 4.2 which is ADB over network but ADB still still error no device found. Its seem to be something to do with the driver as I originally used the HTC drivers to flash and now I have a generic rom i.e. not one configured by HTC the PC doesnt appear to correctly identify the device. I have reinstalled the drivers a numbr of times and have also tried using the Google driver but my PC states this is not correct for the device and refuses to install it.
Well... I have the stock HTC drivers and they work for every single rom I have tried yet, weather AOSP or Sense...
Have you tired a different PC ?

Hi Mate
Thought I had enabled all the options but possibly found the issue. I had enabled USB debugging and ADB over network but hadnt amended the root access to have apps and ADB enabled. Im in work at the mo so cant test but will def check this out as soon as I get in later. Hopefully that will sort it thanks for the assist guys will report back later to cofnirm either way.
Hi Guys
Sorry same issue I have enabled the root access for ADB aswell as apps now my PC is identifying the phone have tried adb when phone installed as My HTC and also installed with HTC Android Interface however adb still isnt detecting my phone when connected. Any Ideas would be great

[Q] HTC One X Driver for Android 4.2.2

Hi Guys
Do a require a specific driver for the new 4.2.2 system. I have updated my phone to run Cyanogenmod 10.1 and had some issues originally getting adb etc to identify the phone. I have since got past this and now get an unauthorised error in adb. This is normal the issue im having is that my phone does not prompt me when I connect it to my PC. I should be getting a whitelist prompt to confirm I authorise the Pc to run ADB commands.
Has anyone else had this rather than the expected whitelist prompt im getting the little android bloke asking do I want to copy files via usb. Im just trying to work out what I need to do to get my phone to prompt me when I connect via ADB. I have already enabled ROOT access to Apps and ADB, Enabled USB debugging etc
Any help would be appreciated I have tried a number of drivers but only ever get asked to copy file via usb.

Hi Mate
I have tried with HTC Sync on and again after uninstalling it both result in the same issue usb prompt rather than ADB fingerprint prompt. No in Device Manager both of the connections for the device identify and install correctly. One with the phone and another stating something like Android Interface device not on my PC at the mo to confirm the exact name but its something like
My HTC
Android Interface Device or possibly android ADB interface

Hmm Very strange.
Try:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217396
Or if not try hasoons Root Toolkit, im sure that installs some drivers too. Hasoons got my ADB working.
Finally, to find ADB device, are you opening command prompt in Platform-tools folder?

Nice one cheers mate will try these drivers when I get home later. I was originally using Hasoons toolkit which is what flashed the recovery and new rom but once I updated to 4.2.2 the toolkit stopped. It was coming up as device offline. I have managed to get it working by overwritting the old ADB and fastboot files with the new ones for 4.2.2. The ones the toolkit comes with is 4.1 so was erroring as it didnt know to carry out the fingerprint check.
Yes mate I have tried various methods I have accessed the android\android-sdk\platform-tools folder and run ADB from there this identifies the phone but states its not authorised. I tried using the toolkit with the new ADB and fastboot but get the same.
Im just missing the ADB prompt on my phone for usb debugging just cant for the life of me identify why im getting the copy files from usb prompt rather than the adb fingerprint prompt. Im sure its drivers so am hopeful the ones on the link will fix it. Fingers crossed

Cheers All removed all drivers for htc one x then downloaded the 4.2 versions from the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2217396
once reinstalled adb gave unauthorised error again but then put the prompt up on the phone. So possible the 4.2 contains the info for requesting permission as i havent changed anything other than the drivers adb and fastboot have been the same since i started. Anyway cheers all

ADB
If you are trying to connect ADB for Weaksauce, you have to open apps folder,
run Weaksauce and accept prompt,
then run SU and accept prompt,
Then start giving your ADB commands.
just download drivers straight from htc thats all
I had the same problem at first. Then I installed Android SDK and copied the path to where the folder is on my C drive. Afterwards, Turned OFF USB Debugging, used the "revoke usb authorization" option, then Turned On USB Debugging on the phone again and the Key Verification window popped up on my phone and selected "ALWAYS" for adb to be used on the attached computer. Then tested with the command "adb devices" and now my m8 is all good and ready to go. No more offline or unauthorized.
has to be a driver situation thats stuck on my pc, used another laptop (different computer) downloaded latest sdk n it worked. this can be deleted. genuine thanks to everyone who gave input!!

I'm not using weaksauce because I wasn't sure if it worked on a Sprint phone. Does it?

Just checked at the weaksauce website, and it says that it 'may' work for sprint.
If yours isn't running newest HTC releases for your phone, weaksauce could work.
I'd try it: worst thing that could happen is that you'd have a do a factory reset from hboot.

I got the offline message also and found out that i have to disable my USB 3 driver in Device manager.
When they are disabled i can use adb to my phone.

same happened with me. It turned out there was a prompt on my M8's screen asking for permission for my computer to use USB debugging. I gave it access and adb was working fine.
I had the same problem on windows 8. I installed HTC sync and everything worked fine.
Make sure USB debugging is enabled.
When you connect your phone and use the 'adb devices' command for the 1st time your phone will give an USB debugging RSA prompt. Click ok and you will be good to go in windows 7. Just run the 'adb devices' command again (or click on the UP arrow on the KB, this will replicate the last typed command) to check it sees it.
Windows 8 - No idea

Turn off usb debugging. Give the phone a reboot.
Turn USB debugging on again and connect it to your PC again
Look at the phone It should come up again. Make sure it is set to 'always authorise'
Type adb devices = profit

I had the same issue on my Windows 8 pc.. I was able to rectify the adv device not found issue by going into device manager , clicking on the HTC one icon and manually installing the drivers by browsing through my computer and using my Nexus adb drivers and everything worked fine after that
Download htc sync, you'll need those drivers. Then follow grentuu's instructions.

Thanks a ton. I had just plugged my m8 in after a fresh win8.1 install and couldn't figure out why I could copy files but not see it under ADB after the adb google driver install.

Glad I could help!
I had the same problem using Windows 8.1. adb and fastboot were definitely installed correctly as I already used them for flashing other ROMs on my Nexus 7. The solution in my case was to download and install the HTC Sync Manager. After installing the hsm the adb and fastboot commands worked perfectly.
Best regards,
B.
