Hi there, I'm new to this and I'm attempting to follow the wiki on how to boot a recovery rom to my MyTouch3G. After a big ol' headache getting 'adb devices' to work, when I boot my MT3G into FASTBOOT USB mode, it doesnt show up when I type 'fastboot devices'. I'm stumped and don't know what to do.
I'm using Windows 7 Professional x64.

You might have a perfected SPL or there are some related issues with Windows 7 and x64 as a dev platform. These are discussed in detail in other threads searchable on the forum.
You might also have the phone mounted or using some driver other than the HTC driver.
I'd start with the "Read this before you post" and "Hacking wiki threads"... I remember seeing something about this recently, but can't find the thread.

ok, i got all the fastboot stuff down, and installed everything, but on command prompt, i type in "fastboot devices", and nothing pops out!!!! also (if this helps any) in device manager (for windows xp) under adb interfaces it is listed as
"htc bootloader". isnt it suppose to be "htc dream"?

Hi,
I'm kind of a noob at this rooting stuff. I've looked ariund, done my research and everything but it never seems to go smoothly??..
I think the main problem is with the drivers. After following instructions the android drivers still said 'Android 1.0'. So I installed Pda net and then I got 'Android ADB Interface' drivers. Soo the thing is, after searching for 'adb devices' in cmd prompt, It says 'list of devices' but there's nothing in the list....?
For some reason it won't do any commands like 'adb reboot bootloader' or 'fastboot oem lock'. It says not found. I have installed all the sdk and packages...
Would really appreciate some help from you guys. I didn't think rooting would be so complex??...
Thanks
can you post screenshot??
Ok for some reason, after starting the cmd again today and typing adb devices, it has listed my device. But when I type 'fastboot oem lock' (because my bootloader is already unlocked) it says not found as shown in the screenshot.
Am I doing something stupid??...

If adb devices lists your device you're not in the boot loader, the ONLY place fastboot will recognize your device and function or you have a driver issue. You're either in recovery or booted up. Reboot into the boot loader to use fastboot.
If you get into the boot loader and fastboot still doesn't show your device it's a driver issue. Update the driver manually and point it to the SDK USB driver provided with the SDK.
For reference....
Booted into boot loader:
Fastboot OK
ADB NO
Recovery / Fully booted
Fastboot NO
ADB OK
Hi guys,
I really do think this is a driver issue... any idea on how to solve it? I do have PDA Net installed... ?
@krohnjw ... could you please clarify.. Im a bit lost.
Thanks!
Did you try something like oneclickroot?

Well I also had a lot of issues trying to root my i9020t so let me try to help..
Phone will be recognized with ADB when u select enable debug on developer options. You ll see "Android ADB Interface" on SYS DRV.
On other hand , when U start phone on fasboot mode, it should install something like "Android Bootloader Interface " , if U keep seeing "Android ADB Interface" , its wrong, but took some time to realize that.
That happened to me when I was using WinXP x32 to root my phone, ironically thinking it would be more compatible an less prone to bugs... When done it on W7 x64 , my fastboot driver was discovered correctly (Android bootloader Interface) using x64 PDA drivers, and all went good then!
Hope this may help!

Sure. This happened to me at first. Try connecting your phone to a different USB port? Did you get a taskbar notification that a device had been connected? (Did you here the little dings? ha)
When cmd says waiting for device, it either means that your phone isn't in fastboot (which I assume it is, since you were following the directions), or that the device isn't connected.
Also, did you install the software package HTC sync? It's a fairly large download, but it might be a necessary one to get the required drivers to connect the phone.
Let me know if this helps.
Make sure you've installed the usb drivers required by selecting the check box for USB in the Extras.
Yep I got this error too and just had to install HTC sync from the HTC website to fix it. Easy peasy
Just use this guy's toolkit. Worked on my U.S one S.

Hello and good day/afternoon/night depending when you see this, I have a seems to be very frequent, the thing is that I've been trying to unlock my htc sensationg 4g (yeah, there are humans who still use it) and the thing is that every time I try to connect to the pc and write the
"fastboot oem get_identifier_token" command, the command line stucks at "waiting for device" and I know that that means it's not being recognized by the computer. I'll list everything I tried and all the information:
*My computer has windows 8.1 64 bit
*I installed the htc drivers and the android sdk
*my htc has android 4.0.3
*I have used usb 2.0 ports
*I have the fastboot files and all the files required
*I restarted the computer idk how many times to see if that does something
*everytime I connect the phone via fastboot mode, windows says device is not recognized
if need something else, simply ask for it, I have searched through thousands of forums and obviously here with no success, I hope you guys can help me

the issue is on win8
Search here in xda how to set up adb/fastboot on windows8
Or just download a Linux Live CD with fastboot and adb.
Just boot the cd and you can use fastboot and adb from terminal.
I've been trying to solve this for a while now and cant seem to get it to work.
I have adb and fastboot installed on the computer.
When I run the cmd window, I can get a recognition from adb when I'm in recovery mode, but as soon as I run <adb reboot bootloader> the phone goes into bootloader, disconnects temporarily from the computer and reconnects.
When I go into devices on the computer I can see that the computer see's it. It recognizes it as my HTC although it shouldn't right?
When I come back to my cmd window I try to run fastboot commands with no success. <fastboot devices> gives me a blank line and its ready for the next command.
I looked around and saw that a lot of people dint have the right cables, drivers for the phone or dint restart they're computer.
I have done it all. I re-downloaded the drivers I think 10 times in vane.
Any help would be appreciated thx
OS on phone is no longer there I lost it. dont know how.
OS on computer is windows 10 64 bit
