Need help S-OFF windows 8.1 - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I can follow all the steps, apparently my drivers install fine, it recognises my phone using revolutionary during the s-off command console (revolutionary) when it restarts my phone it says waiting but nothing ever happens, I'm new to phone rooting etc, and i'm finding this stupidly stressful and over complicated i think it's something to with windows 8.1 and the drivers? idk does anyone have a step by step guide, or video for windows 8 or something
thanks.

As you suspect windows 8 is your issue. Do you have access to any windows 7 computers?
If not you can download an image of ubuntu and boot into it and use the linux version of revolutionary

HTC Sync is the best way to get the USB drivers, there's a link to it in that guide. It's in the Support section of the HTC website.

Thank you. But I have tried this one too. I installed the G2 driver, but when I run adb on cmd, it gives me no device found.
cntrl+alt+del and force close the adb tasks... and retry.

Have you checked the guide I linked to above ? Use the drivers from HTC Sync, as in the guide, that should work fine.

Did you take the adb.exe and adbwinapi.dll and copy or move them to the \windows\system32 directory so you can run adb from any dos directory prompt.
You know what? I didn't even think about that. Ill give it a shot as soon as I go home. Thanks

dont know how adb still doesnt find my semi-bricked tmobile g2 phone. Once im in fastboot and hook up through usb it installs the adb android interface drivers, but once i go into adb and put in adb shell or adb devices its stil saying device not found. im using the usb wire that came with the htc evo shift which is the same exact usb as the g2 from what i know.

[Q] Need help in Updating my HTC desire to jelly bean

Hi,
I am using HTC desire for more than 2 yrs with the same factory settings apart from upgrading the OS to 2.3.3.
Now i wish to upgrade my phone to jellybean 4.1.2 from cynogenmod.
Since, i've no idea abt how to root the phone, i tried unlocking the bootloader as defined in this forum and i followed the steps as in the HTC site.
but when i enter the fastboot command in the cmd, it shows waiting for the device and no other thing appears.
It would be really helpful to me, if someone can explain me step by step procedures to root my phone and upgrade it as i i've no technical idea about Android.
As of now, am in the 0th step of rooting my phone.
So please start from the scratch and guide me.
Thanks,
Sadique

The beta key is fine, u did something wrong. Re download the revolutionary tool, run the tool and plug in ur phone, and in the revo command window it will say enter beta key for xxxxxxxxxxxx <----- use that number in the comnand window to generate ur beta key on the website. Then copy/paste it from website to command window.
I think i need help forever!!!

But now am stuck with the following scenario,
Waiting for fastboot...
in the revolutionary screen.
its stays on this stage like forever with the white screen in the phone.
I ran the revolutionary as an admin, enabled usb debugging and disabled Fastboot in settings.
How can i proceed now?? plz help!!!
Have you installed the HTC Fastboot drivers for Windows ?
Have you HTC sync installed ? (if so, you might have to uninstall it)

Yh u need fastboot drivers installed like said above. Check the desire all things root guide in my sig, then on that page click the link for s-off and root with revolutionary, everything thing u need is there.

Need to flash RUU on Desire, running MIUI

Hi friendly XDA peeps
I need some urgent n00b help. I've had an HTC Desire/Bravo for about 2 years now. Waaaaaaay back I managed to S-Off and root the thing, get the Revolutionary fastboot on and load MIUI. I want to reset the thing back to "stock". I downloaded the 2.3 RUU for flashing, but I'm running into the following problems:
I'm running Windows 8, so getting drivers is nigh on impossible
Connecting the phone via USB to the PC picks it up fine under device manager
Connecting the phone via USB under FASTBOOT results in the device not being recognized
ADB picks the device up fine when it's started up
Executing the RUU works fine until it gets to fastboot, where Windows doesn't recognize the device again and just hangs there
So I'm pretty desperate at this stage... It seems the device is USB bricked. I'd REALLY like to factory reset this thing with the RUU, but I'm out of ideas as to what to do now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
EDIT: Crappers, saw it's in the wrong section. Should be under Troubleshooting. Please move this thread...
Why dont u just put a stock sense rom on it? Then he or she can have The perks if he or she wants them
.. Maybe slam a leedroid on there..

Problem is, that the phone is USB bricked and I cant find usable fastboot drivers for Windows 8 to run the fastboot command to unbrick it... Even flashing a RUU just hangs in fastboot, because Windows doesn't recognize the device when it's in fastboot mode.

Theres a thread in desire general i think and its by K3lcior and he shows how to get drivers installed on windows 8. Find a post by him then go to his profile and look at threads strated by him n u will find it.
Also, if ur still s-off try flashing 4ext recovery as PB99IMG (in my sig) and use the unbrick option. But i think its because of windows 8, not usb brick.
Ok, I managed to find a Windows 7 PC at work today and loaded the necessary drivers. Performed the fastboot fix and flashed the RUU. Thanks for the patience and info!

If you are still s-off you can flash 4ext recovery through fastboot , run usb unbrick function if you are even usb bricked , and then
flash PB99IMG.zip version of 2.3.3 RUU
What is it today with people posting what i already posted? Jeez read before posting + he got it sorted.

[Q] How to S-OFF from custom rom?

I have rooted and unlocked my Desire HD from HTC's website with filename.bin .
I searched for a while but I was just confused. There is a lot of bad english and bad explanation. I stumbled on a tool called "Deathscream's S-OFF tool" which for some people works but for other it's bricking their devices. So thanks, but no thanks.
So my simple question is:
What's the best way to S-OFF a rooted and unlocked device which has a custom rom, preferably w/o downgrade-ing?
Thank you.

what i know is..there is AAHK2 script by Phiber2000 in here that can s-off the unlocked bootloader but the script already including process downgrading and will tell you if the hboot needed process downgrading first before s-off process..
if the script needed stock rom file for downgrading..you can search in here..find the right stock rom that suitable with your CIDnum of your phone..
hope this help..
I forgot to mention that I'm on Windows 8.1 so no luck under Windows. But I do have a live usb with ubuntu on it. The script requires Windows 7 or 8 and I'm not reinstalling my OS just for this. Also I don't have an sd card from those brands mentioned in that thread(which is a silly requirement).

What i know is i think that's script can running on windows 8.1 too..because i don't see reason why that script can't running on 8.1..i don't know if i missed something..
About the sd card brands..maybe silly to hear that first..but i'm sure that's important things to prepare before running that's script for success fully s-off the device..
Just imagine that the bootloader is like your bios on your pc n you can ask your self how much important the media itself to put and loading a bios file for flashing your bios..
Hope this help...sorry for my bad english..

Thanks for the advice but I did that already before and ****ed up my USB 3.0 ports and then some. When I turn on my PC my mouse and keyboard don't work (they are in different USB 2.0 ports) and my HD which is in 3.0 stops every couple of minutes which is driving me mad. I need to reinstall all my USB drivers soon.
As for the phone I'll do it from linux, from scratch, or from another PC.

0.93.0001
rev.alpharev.nl
It just says waiting for device
You got the drivers installed?
which ones?
The HTC drivers. Download and install HTC sync. That will install the drivers. Then disable it so it does not interrupt the s-off process. Follow this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032467
But use rev.alpharev.nl website instead of revolutionary.io.
It seems I only get halfway and it sometimes don't register the phone.. in device manager i get a code:10 on the phone.
I'v tried many things to fix this but nothing seems too work
Either way I thank you for your help so far as it seem everything is done right and should work
my computer just doesn't want to co-op.
Edit: the app starts and everything seems well, but then it boots to fastboot and get stuck waiting for fastboot
FYI: did this on a computer with windows 10 and then tried it on one with 7 or XP I can't remember witch one because i have both on the same computer. but it worked, so the problem seems to be that windows 10 can't install or handle the old drivers properly.
