Generally I would use the search box or google for that matter to search for your root method then click the FAQ or help section. I'm not trying to come off as condescending here, but I know the use of search is heavily stressed here on XDA. Also, a little better clarity in the post other than

would be very helpful. Look here though... Either uninstall HTC sync or install just the drivers which are also now available from HTC. I did not try with my root but I heard simply stopping the HTC Sync service in task manager on the pc worked...

@OP:
Install HTC sync, then uninstall, it will leave the drivers intact.
Make sure anti-virus is disabled/windows security essentials is uninstalled.
And check the faq, as mentioned.

If I may expand on this. There will be 3 HTC entries after installing sync. You only want to remove the one that says sync, not all 3.

Well that happened to me when trying to do it through the usb connection to the phone as well as through my micro-sd to usb (not to full sd then usb) adapter. Try putting the microsd in a standard SD adapter then doing it that way. It is what worked for me after failing multiple times the other way.

thank u ... It worked

I am having issues with this revolutionary method as well. i download the zip, extract it, download the fastboot, get the key code, run the extracted program, and the window says waiting for device. so i ran it again with mounting my sensation before running and same thing. It hasnt yet given me a chance to enter the key code. im only assuming i have to enter it cause it is not taking the code it pops up with when you enter your information. I Just bought a PC so I can to root my phones better without waiting for a MAC version of every thing. If anyone knows the step I am missing, please let me know. I would love to experiment with COREdroid but i have to get S-OFF first.

I think im going in the right direction it doesnt say device waiting anymore but now it pops up and closes down instantly ill keep playing with it thanks again... after closer looking at it it says htc sync is not compatible please uninstall htc sync

Ignore that warning, it's the only way it detects my device, it works for me. Used it in two Sensations and it didn't detect the device unless I used HTC sync. Do you have adb installed and the correct drivers?

If you are runing this on Windows then yes there are drivers you need. Check the documentation link on Revolutionary site.

This was the missing step for me i could only get it to work once i uninstalled HTC Sync..

The Quickest way in solving this issue is just to install the HTC Drivers. With that, follow the Guide on the Dev section and it should be okay.

For future reference of Linux users who may find this thread, don't forget to run revolutionary, fastboot, or adb as a root user.
That'll usually solve all that plagues you with problems like "waiting for device" and such.
"sudo ./revolutionary"

Cant seem to root, someone pm and help me

I've tried the new supertool v3 and the aahk hack and it doesnt seem to do anything. It might be my computers fault cause it keeps giving me weird errors like my usb device has malfuctioned or windows doesnt recognize it. I'm lot and would like some assistance if someone could help
thanks,
mike

finally figured out it was my other computer so i moved to a different computer and am using the supertool hack and i prepped it like it said and it seemed to do something, then i went to #3 cause it says attempt perm root so i clicked that and it seemed to be doing something and then flashed at me and said rooted! and my phone turned white and i had 4 option like bootloader, reboot, reboot botloader, and something else i forgot. I'm not sure what i should do from here so i clicked just bootloader and it took me to a different screen then i just restarted it and i downloaded terminal emulator and typed in su to see if it was rooted and it wasnt. I'm confused once my screen turns white and asks me what to do

By "Supertool", do you mean Bubby's root method?

Idk who its from, but i got it from this website and its called htc supertool and says it works on almost every htc phone

No he mean the HTC supertool from the general android section. Use the Ace hack kit. It is the only proven way that I know of. We have all used it at one time or another and as long as you read the manual you will be fine.

This maybe a little exaggerated, but you may download Ubuntu and run from a USB drive for example and run aahk from there...

It's not recommended to run from a USB drive. Use a live CD instead. (It's in the effen manual for aahk).

You can install the live CD in a usb with unebooting, that's what I mean

lol what are you saying? The Hack Kit is the best way to go. The OP has been instructed to use this tool and if he still runs into a problem, the OP should re-read the the first post in the hack kit thread and the manual to be sure he/she didn't miss a thing. If problems still persist I believe the IRC chatroom is still in service.

I should stop writing short replies, I mean you can install the live CD in the USB with unebooting or other tool, from there use the aahk

Directly from the O.P. of the hack kit thread, the same O.P. you should have read entirely before using the hack kit.
If you have read this post and the effen-manual and get stuck during processing,
help is available in IRC at http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#aahkSupport
they will be able to get you fixed up quicker then this thread...

12.3 is a really really old version. I would download the newer one first

By anywhere, you must mean anywhere other than the official aahk thread in the development section, because there it is 13012012. Go there and get the right version and you probably won't have a problem.

That version of the Hack Kit is no longer supported, so I really doubt that you downloaded it from the Thread. Anyway, try running the aahk from a livecd (ubuntu)...but first make sure you check the connectivity of your phone with the PC.

Then try the Ubuntu Live CD method. That's how I did it. Much easier than uninstalling a bunch of stuff.

I used the live cd method too

Given you've tried Live CD.
You are using a laptop? Or a PC (If PC, be sure to use the rear ports (manual), if laptop try a different USB header (usually the side of the laptop with the most inputs [usb, firewire, network, VGA, HDMI]))
For windows, you didn't say that you've killed processes as mentioned in the manual. Ctrl-Shift-Esc (windows) will take you to the process list. Be sure ALL processes are killed (Like Bonjour from Apple)
And another windows thing... ejecting the device (say after you've moved a file to the phone) will cause this.
And, I'm a little confused... You said one versoin of aahk earlier, then another later in the thread. Can you please link the forum post where you have downloaded AAHK from?
Not that this is likely a solution, but it will elimiate a few* things.

[Q] Windows 8 64-bit Drivers not working

Just wiped all data off my phone before flashing CyanogenMod 10. Problem is, I need to reboot into the bootloader so I can flash the boot.img since I have the 2.20 AT&T update. But I can't get my computer to recognize my phone in fastboot mode. I'm using Windows 8 64-bit, and I've tried multiple threads with Win8 64-bit drivers, and installing the drivers with signature verification disabled. I'm at a loss, hope you guys can help, since I can't turn my phone on until this gets fixed.

Not familiar with windows 8,but if the computer recognises the phone why not just downgrade your hboot with Jet,then you want have to flash the boot image.

Whoa whoa whoa. Downgrading the hboot is POSSIBLE. Holy frick, if this is true, I might hate myself for not discovering this sooner...
EDIT: The toolkit requires running Linux (which I don't have and am not real comfortable with) and involves hard bricking the phone...think I'll keep my hboot for now. Needing to flash the boot.img is kind of annoying, but it wasn't a big deal until I could no longer get fastboot to work...

Well, I can make a LiveCD easy enough, so I might still try it. But I'd still prefer to find a fix for the fastboot drivers, since I'd still be unable to use fastboot after downgrading the hboot.

I'm actually fairly competent in the unix terminal, thanks to using a Mac at work for a while, it's more the danger of hard bricking my phone that scares me.

Yeah, like I said, HTC Sync didn't solve my problem for whatever reason.
However, it occurred to me that I've never had to worry about Android drivers with Mac and Linux, and I was able to use fastboot without a problem from a Ubuntu LiveCD, without resorting to downgrading my hboot. Granted it meant downloading and configuring the android tools in Ubuntu, and I wouldn't want to do it on a regular basis, but it's okay as a workaround, and this whole fiasco has me seriously considering switching my laptop to Ubuntu from Win8 (I could dual-boot), but I don't really have enough disk space for 2 operating systems).

I have windows 8 and when I first got my one x I installed PDANet and HTC Sync Manager. That should solve the driver issue. PDANet pretty much fills in the gap for drivers no matter what phone.

Ok I had same issue when I was beta testing win 8 in Summer. You need to go to device manager and click the show hidden devices on menu bar. It will show you all devices not plugged in. Next find andriod , it should be greyed out. If you don't find install win 64 bit driver. It will still not recongize android when plugged in so click greyed out android and choose Manuel update. Then click browse for driver and go into win 64 drivers and manually choose. There is a lot of utube and other tutorials if you Google manuel install HTC drivers for win 8. Hope this helps ya. Let me know how it worked out

but you may find it on androiddrivers if you search you will find it in How to Root HTC One X! pleas share the link her so the other find it

I was able to get mine working with the combo of
1. uninstalling any HTC sync or sync manager and the HTC BMP USB Driver. Basically anything HTC.
2. Install HTC sync. Not sync manager. Go to the HTC support page and you'll see both listed. If you go to the specific phone support page it might not be there. (One S doesn't have the sync program, just sync manager iirc.)
3. Download PDAnet. When installing, It'll give a warning that you already have drivers installed and ask if you want to fix them or leave as is. I chose it to fix and it went though its process and I had working drivers after that.
I think this was already suggested before. I going back and giving thanks wherever due after this post. (On the mobile app right now)
Other easy way if you're using a One S is to download Hasoon2000's All-On-One Toolkit. He's updated the drivers for windows 8. I haven't tried it yet as mine are working so haven't had the need. I would assume his tool for any of the other phones he supports would have the updated drivers too.
