[Q] Help with ADB....Question

I am trying to get ADB to work so I can do the unlock bootloader. ADB recognizes my phone while booted up with usb debugging enabled, but when I reboot to fastboot, it does not recognize it.
I've tried different drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling.... no luck.....
Is there anyone that is knowledgeable in this area to assist me? Is there any kind of IRC channel available to get real-time answers?
Please help,
Thanks,
Bob

Yeah, im on 7 64 bit also..... i've tried disabling digital driver thing at bootup...
device manager see its just fine.... I can access it with adb while the phone is booted up.... as soon as I reboot to fastboot screen the phone cannot be seen by adb devices..... still shows up just fine with no ! in device manager....
... is there anyway to push a stock image and load a factory stock image from the stock recovery? says it needs to be in /cache folder.... i tried pushing a stock image there but it tells me access is denied.... i tried enabling root.... says root not available on production builds..... im lost....

I just tried it on my xp machine and it worked just fine..... weird.. something with 7 64 bit? i tried pda net drivers, samsung, samsung naked 1.7.... all said they were working fine....

adb is for android or recovery
fastboot is for bootloader
adb won't recognise the device when it's in fastboot mode.
Try:
Code:
fastboot devices
And you don't need adb to unlock the bootloader, the command is:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
So not entirely sure why you're chasing adb...

I am in the same boat, what happens for me is that fastboot doesnt even recognize the device. So all in all I can't oem unlock my device.
Using win7 64bit

The usual recommendation (and what worked for me) is to install PDANet first, just for the drivers. Then fastboot will see your device. You can remove PDANet afterwards and the drivers will remain.

fyi - this is what I did, with 64 bit windows 7 - the driver install didn't complete 'til I actually connected the GN in fastboot mode, then win7 installed the driver and I was able to run fastboot successfully.

[Q] One X-specific solution for fastboot under Windows 8

I tried numerous "solutions" floating around this site and web on how to get fastboot working again on my Windows 8 RTM 64bit with HOX on CM10 ROM. ADB and USB memory are working, but fastboot does nothing. Of course have driver signature off in Windows. Currently back to original HTC driver in order to have at least USB memory working reliably.

Have you tried to kill adb process?
Ctrl+Alt+Del -> Task Manager -> More details
Click on adb process and then hit "End Task" button
Then open cmd and try to run fastboot again.

Thanks for the suggestion, but does not work - waiting for device...

You sure you have the correct USB ADB/Fastboot drivers installed? I had to boot into a special Win* mode to install unsigned drivers.
This thread here should detail it for you. Post 2 covers the unsigned drivers part.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583801

Yes, had done that previously, too. For me fastboot is working (adb always was) since I use the latest one from the Android SDK.

i just installed these drivers and it worked

[Q] Help with fastboot driver?

Greetings XDA,
I'm trying to hurry and unlock my One before Verizon locks 'er down tight, but i'm having trouble getting the Fastboot driver installed.
I've installed the java run time environment, sdk, and even the HTC my sync settings (with drivers) and am seeing "My HTC" under Android ADB devices while booted normally, but as soon as I jump to fastboot, the "My HTC" receives an exclamation point and the device driver says not installed.
I'm running Windows 8 x64 and tried these instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232799
Any help? Any one?

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.

Sadly, i don't have such a machine lying around. The wife's comp has the sdk installed as well (she's a nexus user). Although, on her windows 7 machine, in fastboot i do see MyHTC driver as ok, but when i run the "fastboot oem get_token_modifier" command, i get "(bootloader) [ERR] Command error!!! OKAY finished"
so something still quite wrong!

I don't think the Fastboot drivers work on Windows 8.
Spent all day trying, and never got recognized in ADB. Used co-worker's computer with Windows 7, worked like a charm.

.... This probably explains my problem as well. Will try on a Windows 7 computer in the morning and report back to see if that was the problem.

ADB and Fastboot both work fine on Windows 8. I had to install the newest 4.3.0.001 drivers to get ADB to recognize my One on my Windows 7 partition, despite having had the most recent behind that. My Windows 8 partition worked like a charm because I had more recently installed the updated drivers on it. It's also possible you were connecting your phone to a USB 3.0 port. ADB/Fastboot is "wonky" over USB 3.0, and if you don't have the correct USB 3.0 drivers, you have no chance at all. Also, you need USB Debugging turned on, which can be done in this version of Android by going to Settings -> About -> Software Information -> More, then tapping on the build number 7 times, unlocking developer options, then going to Settings -> Developer options, and checking USB Debugging.
And all this may be moot for now, as it appears anyone who wasn't previously unlocked won't be able to for a while.

I can confirm. I successfully got fastboot to run on OS X, but when I try to send my token via HTCDev, I'm met with error 160: MID not Allowed..

Been so busy in the past few months or so that I couldn't do my helpful stuff. Now I have more free time.

Awesome tutorials! this is where I'm stuck at the moment.
I went as far as to restore my computer to Windows 7 and start over erasing everything. I've tried different USB cables. I know it won't work on my USB 3, i Have one USB 2, I believe I have the drivers installed. I even went as far as to download and install Cyanogenmod on my Verizon HTC One. Enable root, Apps and ADB. allow USB Debugging. I also uninstalled HTC Sync, because another XDA guy mentioned that it can get in the way of things. here is where i am stuck at when attempting to lock my Boot loader.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb shell
error: device not found
So that is where I am stuck. I see my phone reads fastboot usb, and it will do other commands, so i know it is connected, just not recognizing it? Dumb question, but if I RUU to say 4.2.2, because my phone is able to do that, can I do a software update and install 4.4.2, would that LOCK my bootloader and get me on the right software, so that all i have to do is give the command to go from S-Off to S-On? or will that command even work for me because i cant get the command to even open the shell? Also, is there a way to manually install a driver? I go to my device manager in control panel, and I'm not seeing anything that says Other Devices > One.(UPDATE; I found where HTC is in device manager, I tried updating the driver manually, it say's that driver is already up to date.) and I've gone to the start menu > Run > and ran a command to allow me to install unknown drivers to Windows 7. I have also unplugged anything usb on my laptop, including my wireless mouse.
I've been trying really hard to get my phone back to stock to return back to HTC. Probably a solid 10 to 12 hours last night and this morning working on it. lol
Update: Am I supposed to do anything with Android SDK?
Update 2: I can flash Decripted RUU running adb on CMD with commands and have HTC's Official software running with no problem and it recognizes my phone plugged in. So i went back to Cyanogenmod for now. but for whatever reason, adb device and adb shell are not recognizing my phone that is plugged in
Update 3. Re-installed HTC Sync and installed HTC Sync Manager for the fun of it, and now daemon doesn't even show up when doing command adb devices
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb devices
List of devices attached
Update 4: I swear, when we get this working, I'm gonna send whoever a little kickback through Pay pal for helping out with my issues.lol. I feel that maybe it could be my laptop, I'll have to try my 10 year old toshiba.

Uninstall the phone in device manager. Disconnect the phone. Disable windows updates to prevent it from auto installing a generic windows driver. Then plug the phone back in and try to manually install the driver from the video.

Okay. I'll try that out here in a little bit. Another thing I found to be odd, is that my OS is showing up as blank. I hope it will show the correct OS that I'm on, when I get far enough to flash an RUU.

Success! I had to disable updates, even after that, it still would update when plugged in. So I uninstalled updates. Then, I had to catch the device drivers before updating by cancelling them. Installed drivers like in the video, followed steps, everything is a success! this post should be stickied, but that's just me. Good job!

Glad you got it working.
Windows update is nice, but it is really annoying when you want to manually install a better driver.

Great tutorials. Much appreciated.
Can you verify this is working for version 4.4.2? I gave up on my One a while back after running into 8.1 driver issues. Apparently that has been resolved now as well.

I rooted and got S-Off on Win 8.1. I was stock 4.4.2 at the time and never rooted a smartphone before. The tutorial for the driver was spot on. As for the other 2 tutorials, I didn't use them as I found the rest of the process to be pretty straight forward (using WeakSauce & Firewater to root and get S-OFF).

Vids now viewable in OP.

Excellent to hear. Been waiting for this to get sorted out. Will report back when I get time to sit down and run through it all.

I can confirm it works on win 8, got my surface pro adb and fastbooting like a baws in minutes. As above poster mentioned, you either have to uninstall and prevent auto device installation, or if you find it in device manager you can force update the driver , you may have to take the extra step to "Have Disk", manually select the androidusb.inf file from unpacked drivers, then select My HTC

Thanks for the fast reply!

I am having issues, after following the steps. In ROM and recovery it shows up in ADB devices and device manager. However in bootloader it shows device manager, but not in ADB Devices. Tried multiple cables, including the original. Any ideas?

What version of Windows?
If it is Windows 8 you need to make sure that you installed the drivers while signature enforcement was off. I have also posted an updated video with new drivers, give it a try.

adb/fastboot not working

I finally got around to trying to install a custom recovery and root my HTC M8 (Verizon, KitKat 4.4.4).
I had previously unlocked my phone with SunShine - and have S-Off.
I tried installing adb/fastboot/drivers downloading from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48915118
On my phone I turned off fastboot, enabled developer mode, and enabled USB debugging.
I connect my phone, it says USB debugging connected - and my PC (Windows 7) recognized the device.
However, when I try fastboot devices it does not recognize my phone - it returns nothing.
I realized that I had previous versions of adb/fastboot installed on my PC (From HTC Syanc & the WugFresh Nexus toolkit). I uninstalled them and reinstalled the drivers from that link, but still no adb/fastboot.
One thing I noticed is that (unlike the tutorial video on the link) in Device Manager my phone is not recognized under Other devices/ADB interface, but rather appears under Android USB devices / My HTC. I tried following the tutorial and tried to update the driver software, but it was not possible to use the downloaded Google drivers.
I tried unistalling the My HTC driver. The phone then appears for time under Other Devices / Android phone and then it re-installs the My HTC driver.
The PC recognizes it as an MTP/Media Player device, but not as an ASB one.
Any suggestions?
edit: Never mind. Arg, stupid me - I forgot to put the phone into fastboot usb mode.

Yeah....
ADB commands only work in a booted O.S or recovery
FASTBOOT commands only work in the bootloader
