I recently bought a HTC Wildfire, but I was a bit disappointed with its CPU, so I want to overclock it. But in order to do that it seems that I need to install a HBOOT USB driver. I followed the instructions provided by unrEVOked and successfully installed it in bootload mode, but when I try to connect my phone to my computer with USB debugging enabled, my computer says it needs to install drivers, even though I installed them. Can anyone help me?
I had that problem too and all I did was after it asked again I just directed it to the same location for the bootloader files and installed it like that. Unrevoked worked after that.
So I should just keep trying?
It still doesn't work.
I had the same problem with my HTC Aria, I had to install HTC sync to my computer. While your installing that, the program automatically installs 2 drivers for the phone. This might fix your problem. I wasn't able to root my Aria until I did this, you just have to make sure your not running HTC sync while your using unrevoked.

I installed htc sync and connected to revoked,but i am unable to install hboot usb drivers. it says there is no hash or driver is corrupted. I tried by downloading several times. but no luck.
(I posted this in the guide to installing s-off etc etc but yeah I don't know if anyone's going to pay it any mind there :S If I was wrong to create this, I'm sorry ><)
Hi,
I keep getting a Communication interrupted error. I don't know if anyone else had this problem and can help me? I'm a n00b with this s-off thing and I triple checked with like 4 different websites to make sure I'm going the right way with this.
Doing this on Windows, I got the HTC driver, removed anything that would sync the phone to the computer, everything going well up until this point:
Zerging Root... this may take a minute or so..
Sending in Caroline...
Cleaning up...
Rebooting to fastboot...
Whien life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take back the lemons
Waiting for fastboot...
Rebooting to fastboot (again)...
Communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted. Try Again.
Press (almost) any key to exit.
What's wrong with it?
also:
I put on the USB Debugging, I turned off Fastboot, and yes, I checked - it is still S-ON *sad*
HTC Sensation 4G (pyramid-1.17.0008, Android: 2.3.3, ROM version: 1.29.531.2)
I have tried with the fastboot on as well
As for these troubleshooting methods, I've been through it over and over:
Revolutionary Hanging on "Method 3"
1. Make sure you have installed all the drivers from above.
2. Please Make Sure you have HTC Sync uninstalled and Droid Explorer uninstalled.
3. Install These Drivers HERE:
4. Basically anything and everything that will allow your phone or other phones to automatically connect or sync to your computer has to be uninstalled
5. Try another Computer or Factory Reset your device as a last resort.
I've tried 3 different computers (I have no access to anyone who has a Linux computer) I've factory resetted my phone twice + my SD card. I really don't know what else to do
I've tried it in Charge Mode, and HTC sync mode as well.
Can anyone help me? :S
you have to do it in charge mode, make sure fast boot is off, and here is the tricky part, ANY app that could sync with the fone, needs to be uninstalled.
for me Zune kept messing with the install cuz it kept trying to sync...
Also, make sure your HBOOT is compatible with the version of revo you are using
so try this:
1) uninstall itunes (and other apple device software), zune, and any htc software (plus the stock drivers)
2) reboot
3) clean the registry (regclean or something similar)
4) reboot
5) reinstall stock drivers then plug in the phone (charge only) and let the pc detect the hardware.
6) unplug the fone and reboot the pc
7) NOW try to S-OFF, should work, this is the process i had to take
Thanks, i tried everything you told me and it still won't work. I'm running out of ideas. Isn't there another method I could go through so I can just flash a custom rom. Lol...
if its unbranded, you can try the HTC method, but im not a fan of their approach to it...revo is much more user friendly in the long run...
also have you tried disconnecting all usb devices other than the keyboard, mouse and phone? also try doing a battery pull and leave it out for 10-15 seconds, and give it another shot
also, what ver of revo u using? the latest? and whats your hboot?
EDIT nm, saw your hboot etc in your first post long night at work
also, this may be a super stab in the dark, try another cable if you have one, just try to eliminate any possible issue
This exactly what I had with my Win7 tappy lappy. Its the "sucky usb stack".
Then I used a win xp 32 bit machine no problems.

yeah, apparently win7 is giving different users this problem, i used WinXP SP2 32bit with no issues
Yup. Definitely related to Win7 64 bit version for me. Although the user didn't report what version they were using.
It's also worth remembering that all USB ports aren't all the same.
I have to use the ports on the front of this particular 32 bit XP workstation for some operations and the ports on the back for other. Magldr for my HD2 never works on the front.....
Like Rev say in their FAQ... there's something about the USB stack on windows that sucks. Not surprising really when we're talking about interop between such dissimilar operating systems (Android vs MS Win). Its gonna be a headache sometimes.
I'm on Win 7 32 bit, when I tested Revolutionary my device wasn't detected at all.
Rebooted many times, installed drivers and did lots of things and still nothing.
I changed USB port, and it worked xD
Try different USB ports and another USB Cable in-case
Gd luck
Edit: Just found out that you tried 3 different computers... Sorry then, if I come up with anything I'll tell you
Edit 2: Can't he try it on Safe Mode? Maybe it would help?
safe mose wont work, the usb stack works even less at that point :/ go windows!
worst case scenario, get a liveCD of ubuntu and boot it from BIOS, thats the easiest alternative to trying on windows

I'm having the exact same problem as with the poster of this thread. I've tried a fresh install of xp sp3 via vmware on my macbook pro. I've also installed Ubuntu but can't even get the revolutionary.exe file to open. Linux is too foreign for me, can anyone help me with that?
I had to use HTC sync mode in order for it to work on Windows 7 64 bit.

listen to this, his situation was WAYYYYY worst than yours, and he got his fone working perfectly and S-OFF'd
By flashing, I assume you do mean using the revolutionary program? I will try this process a little later and will post results. Thank you
i also had this problem when i wanted to set my sensa s-off. i run the tool several times and i always got this error message. So then i plugged of the phone, plugged it on again and then the tool says my phone is already s-off.
i boot the phone into bootloader and yes, the phone was s-off, on top is the revolutionary text and the bootloader version is 1.17.1111
im not sure why but i just got my sensation today whenever i try to open revo it automatically closes and says something about incompatible kernel i installed htc sync because my computer would not detect my phone before
U have to do it on a different computer because some file on your computer isn't letting it run, or u can restore your computer, and the steps to download is HTC sync then the revolutionary tool

i'm having the same issue. however, revolutionary just straight closes on me when i open it. i'm going to try it on another computer. mind you, my phone is already rooted but i'm trying to get s-off on it.
that thing also happen to me... the reason why is HTC sync... If you have any other computer, WITHOUT HTC SYNC installed on it, use that computer to run the extracted file coming from REV.. But if you only have 1 computer, just UNINSTALL HTC SYNC.. then Run the REVOLUTIONARY that you unziped... then it will run...
Click thaks if i led you to the right path..
I have a htc sensation 4g with hboot 1.27.1100 I've unlocked the bootloader flashed recovery, and rooted the phone.
I'm trying to gain s-off by running controlbear, and using the paper clip trick, but after controlbear reboots the phone it gives me this message : Connect device and install drivers.
I'm assuming it's referring to the device drivers for the phone which are already installed. If it's referring to some other driver I don't know what one it's talking about.
I noticed while using adb it also would not recognize the device, though I was still able to use it to communicate with the phone. Was thinking that might have something to do with it.
Any help would be appreciated.
HTC's 4.0 update really screwed my phone up...Just bumping, don't know what proper etiquette is on this forum for bumps, if it was to early i'm sure i'll hear about it, and will reserve myself for future post.
make sure you have usb debugging on i had the same issue and i didnt have it on so give that a try good luck

i have a problem. i have a htc evo 3d cdma rooted unlocked and my computer is windows 7 with the htc driver.... i want to be s off i finally got controlbear to work untill i get to the arrow screen then it says resetting connecting 1 2 open device manager and check adb and fastboot drivers. so i opened device manager and looked and windows sees it as a portable device and i tried to install the htc driver but i dont know where it is on the computer and it doesnt show up when i pick from a list of drivers. please help i cant find a solution
Hello, yes this is my first post. Glad to finally be on here.
But, unfortunately it starts off with a problem.
I have the Android Revolution HD XE 7.2 ROM installed on my phone, completely rooted S-OFFed and so on.
My problem is that now I'm starting to get into developing android apps, and trying to get my computer to detect the phone has been very tricky indeed. I'm using Eclipse with the SDK installed, I've developed on other phones, I was using a Samsung one the other day so I know everything is working.
I attempted to install HTC sync which I believe is what I need to make the USB connection work, all worked fine. Only when I use "adb devices" nothing is detected.
So I'm guessing this is either down to the fact the phone is all custom and it doesn't exist to HTC sync, or because I'm running Windows 8.1 and something has screwed up down the line. In device manager my phone is listed as 'Android Device' with a yellow triangle because it can't find any driver automatically, but I'm still able to transfer files to the SD card via usb and everything works, just development doesn't (and yes, debugging mode is active).
Help appreciated, and please treat me as the newcomer I appear to be, use small words
Install HTC drivers
I can't post the link because I am not in my pc right now
Use also usb 2.0 ports not 3.0

Here is the link of the drivers:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217396
You can choose the driver that meet your requirement.
I have already attempted that before actually going ahead and installing the full HTC Sync. I'm beginning to believe the problem must lie somewhere else because the drivers are there and work fine, my phone connects just fine but it's not visible to adb or anything.
EDIT: I managed to fix it by using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2061435
whether it is the best solution I don't know because it's pretty old, however my phone now gets found by adb.
Thanks for the help guys!
