[Q] Where do the fastboot drivers go? - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

just quickly, i get my phone in fastboot mode, connected it to pc, nothing pops up to install drivers, and when i try to flash cm7 to it it hangs on "waiting for device" so im pretty sure i just gotta install the drivers, i have the driver files but i do not know where to place them or how to install them. anybody help?

ok, sorry for double posting here but i need my question answered and nobody is saying anything. i thought that it would be better to double post than to make a thread exactly the same... so anyone know what directory the drivers go in? on windows XP. thanks.

i little problem i encountered :/

I just got a new mytouch because i lost my old one :/
last time i did the rooting through the gold card method, now i tried the one click method and it went horribly wrong, i belive i got root, i tried to boot up with a new image but i just stays stuck on the mytouch logo, i can go into fastboot, but when i try to go through fastboot through my computer, the computer doesn't recognize my phone(it doesnt show the serial number) should i install the drives all over again? right now i have i connected to my computer through usb, and it says "fastboot usb".
i have looked though the forums but i didnt find a specific answer, so please if im going to get bombed, all im asking is for a little help.
thanks in advance
ok so..
ok so i fixed my drivers and it detects my phone, but now when i am trying to fastboot it it doesnt let me
you are sure you installed the drivers correctly? can you make it to the recovery screen?
if u try adb devices in cmd using adb from sdk does it give you something like HT9623465? cos that should be fine, also if you're using the sdk try uninstall the driver and then copy the 'usb driver' folder contents from the sdk into the 'tools' folder so everythings in the same place and then refer to that directory for driver installation (windows detects it as android 1.0 device when in fastboot and the drivers are different from normal mode). forgive me if im wrong

USB not working after flashing Damage Control

So let me start by saying I have been researching these forums for the last 8 hours trying to following instructions on getting my phone to connect to my computer and with no luck, hoping someone out there can please help me step by step in correcting my problem.
1)I flashed DC's Rom, then flashed the most current radio, then flashed the most current Wimax.
2)I noticed that when I connect my phone to the computer, it says device is not recognizable. The phone charges but does cannot be seen by the computer as a disk drive (I'm trying to RUU to stock but the comp. will not see my phone and I've already tried running RUU but it also is having probs seeing the phone).
3)I've read Calculin's instructions in fixing the SD Card and USB as close as possible but also no luck. I've downloaded Android-SDK Tools and ran CMD with the Instructions saying type in "fastboot oem boot", from there, thats where I get stuck, it just says "waiting on device". Not sure where I go from there, I'm in Reboot mode where it has Fastboot on my evo screen.
Any help would be much appreciated, I'm just so frustrated and I'm trying to get back to square one.
Unplug your phone and restart it, then plug it back in. I had to do this 3 times before it started working again. Other than that, you might just need to download the new drivers.
And you posted in the wrong section.
Sorry about posting in the wrong section, what drivers should I install, are you talking about the new HTC Sync Files or something else? Can you point in the direction to get these files?
okay, I think I'm getting close, I have a box thats popping up now thats trying to located the Device Driver the phone. It says "Failed" next to the line "MY HTC" Where can I download the necessary drivers for this phone?

You should be able to get the proper drivers from either Sprint or HTC's web site. There are links on both sites. Also, when you install / reinstall the sync drivers make sure anti-virus is disabled. If the situation continues and you've tried everything else other folks suggested look at program permissions in your anti-virus program. I was having something similar and CA anti-virus was not letting the program start-up. I had to toggle it to "allow".
Good Luck.

Need help

I relocked my bootloader and tried running a RUU but it keeps telling me that my phone is not connected. I'm using parallels for mac, I installed the drivers and I notice that when i connect the phone it doesn't say "fastboot usb" but when i push volume down is changes yet it still is unable to detect the phone. I installed the htc drivers but when I connect the phone is shows i dont have the drivers for " HTC Remote NDIS based device"
Could this be because im using parallels instead of a full windows pc?
please help, this is my very first android device and im scared I already ruined it
Yeah parallels is touchy. It works in VMware. Make sure in vm settings the usb device for the phone is set to always available to windows. If it is set to ask then it can lose connection.
Ok, Ill give a try.
I still have another problem. When I try to install the htc drivers, I get an error saying device not found. How am I able to install the drivers now?
I found the best way to get the driver installed is to install HTC sync
Thanks for the replies gunnyman, I have one last problem and hopefully theres a fix. I have a low battery and unable to flash the RUU. Is there a fix?
Is there battery actually low? Just shut down the phone and charge it up.
When I plug in the phone, it boot up on its own into fastboot and it says "fastboot ac". Is it charging?

Sorry. No idea. Sounds like it.

[Q] Help Needed Accessing NVFlash

I'm having some trouble accessing NVFlash on my computer. I believe it's an issue with device drivers as when I connect my tablet I receive an error saying the drivers did not install correctly. When I try to access NVFlash with wheelie, the command prompt just sits at "Waiting for device in APX mode...". I've gone through the guide and tried searching the forums but can't seem to solve my issue. Can anyone help me?

You need to install the drivers specifically for APX mode from the driver pack on the AR.mobi site. (Don't let it search online). Once you do that boot up while holding power and the vol+up.
I grabbed the wrong set. Thanks for sending me back there.
Now that I'm able to run the wheelie, I get an error stating that nvflash is not recognized as an internal or external command/program/batch file. I don't remember reading anywhere that we needed to install nvflash, but maybe today is just one of those days.
EDIT: I'm blind. Found what I needed.

My laptop isnt accepting Universal naked driver as a driver. what do i do?

What do you mean by "is not accepting"? I had to disable online searching for drivers by Windows Update -- also make sure that you have really and absolutely removed all trace of the driver (Start Menu - right-click My Computer - Manage ... - Device Manager - right-click device - Properties Uninstall - choose Remove driver << this is from memory, it might be worded slightly differently, but you get the general idea). It kept picking the old driver on my computer otherwise...

[Q] fastboot, win7/64 drivers?

Hey all,
I've got a new-to-me TF700. Got CROMBi-KK installed, which took some backflips as I could not get fastboot connectivity.
I'd like to be setup for NvFlash (but then never need it), so even though I don't need fastboot right now, I'm feeling the lack.
Data transfer works fine.
ADB (not fastboot) works fine (adb shell gets me a shell, etc, etc)
When I put the phone in fastboot/bootloader "fastboot devices" gets an empty response "fastboot reboot" gets no response.
In Win7 device manager, the TF700, which appears in the "portable devices" section normally when I plug it in, does not appear.
So... probably device drivers.
Have you had this problem on your w7/64 box? How did you fix it? Sorry, but "install linux" isn't all that helpful.
Thanks!
From a semi-related question I'd asked, berndblb mentioned
berndblb said:
Windows is infamous for driver problems.....
Connect the tab in fastboot and open device manager. Near the top you should have an entry for Android device, bootloader mode or something similar, and probably a yellow ! next to it.
Right click it and choose "update driver", let Windows search for it.
If you're lucky it'll install the driver by itself.
If not: What Windows version are you running?

Yep, I get an "unknown device" in the USB section when I connect a TF700 in fastboot. Win can't find an appropriate driver. I've tried (manually) ASUS_Android_USB_Drivers and Universal_Naked_Driver_0.72 (both, AFAIR, from the xda tf700 forums). Neither worked.
So... if you got this going, what driver did you use? Thx!
I have a Win7 32 bit laptop and this cool little tool installed the drivers for me:

I'd installed that previously (easiest way to setup fastboot). Re-downloaded, re-installed. Went fine. Still no fastboot.
Unzipped the exe, looked at the drivers being installed - labeled "google". No google driver in the driver cache (so no device ever associated with it.)
Looked at the driver error again. Code 43. That means hardware or driver. I'd been taking it to mean driver, but... switched the USB cable to a port in the rear of the PC - and it worked.
Thanks!
So, for anybody with a similar issue, install the package above. If that doesn't work, maybe try a different USB port.
