Try running the latest version of HTC Sync (installer). This will usually ensure you have the latest drivers installed. Another thing to consider is that some of these drivers may not be tested on Windows 8, so you may have to do this on a Windows 7 computer. Just throwing some thoughts out there

Ahhh... Another windows 8 user....
Win8 has a problem with drivers. You won't be able to root your phone with Win8. You'll have to dual boot/liveCD Ubuntu, get rid of windows8 crap and install Windows 7. Then you'll be able to root your phone no problem.
For future use of fastboot drivers, I would say that if you like Win8 then dual boot with Ubuntu and use Ubuntu to root and what not on your phone. If you don't like Win8( which I hope you don't), then go find a copy of Win7 and get rid of the crap you already have(win8). If you don't have the money for a $75 copy of Win7, dual boot Ubuntu.

mount USB Nexus s

My Nexus s is not going past GOoGLE logo
I am able to go to boot mode or recovery
I need to put a nandroid zip to reapply from recovery
what are the option to do that in my scenario
here are my phone details.
Here are some boot loader details
Boot Loader version is : I9020XXKA3
baseband : I9020XXKB1
Locked sTate : LOCKEd
Here is what i have tried to sa far with no luck yet
1.Tried to install clockwork recovery but it asked to unlock the boot loader
so tried to unlock boot loader with " Fastboot oem unlock " command but
when i ran this command and selected "YES" on the phoine ,phone didnt do any thing , tried multiple times with multiple cables in different usb port on windows 7 64 bit computer.
2. Tried to add file in adb mode using ADB PUSH Command, but looks like adb mode is not getting connected when i typ adb devices it doesnt show any device , may be we need to enable usb debuggin which i cant do now as phone doesnt go past google logo.
I SERIOUSLY need some HELP....
Get off windows 7 64bit. Use either win7 32 bit or win XP 32 bit. Samsung drivers don't seem to work under 64 bit environment. Anyway once you get fastboot going just unlock and install recovery and flash a ROM of your choice.
I think all you got is that you can't talk to it because your drivers are not working.

hboot / fastboot Windows Drivers

I am trying to get the drivers for my HTC Desire S on Windows to work.
I have the phone connected in Fastboot mode - Windows just shows "Android 1.0"
I try to update the drivers and use the ones in this folder with no luck:
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\extras\google\usb_driver
Also tried the unrevoked ones with no luck.
They just say "Windows was unable to install your Android 1.0
Windows could not find driver software for your device"
This is on Win7 32bit.
Anyone tell me what I'm meant to do?
Trying with absolutely no luck to replace my splash screen

Once you get it going its easy to use PS just a tip if you install Linux or in this case Ubuntu if you have 4gb ram
make a swapfile of 512mb and for 8gb you really need 1024mb swap file

[Q] HTC Desire S and Windows 8

Hi all,
I am trying to upgrade my HTC Desire S to Android 4.0 via the official ICS update from HTC. However, I cannot get my laptop (Windows 8) to interact with my phone.
If I mount the SD card then I can view the contents but HTC sync won't find the phone and in 'Device Manager' the phone is labelled as "Android Phone" with the yellow warning triangle next to it. I have tried to download drivers but can't seem to get them working. Whether that is my fault or the laptops fault I am unsure.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
benandrews54
Search for Windows 8 drivers in the main Android Development thread of XDA. I would have give you a link but it is hard via Tapatalk. I have 2 Windows 8 machines and it works perfect on both of them

Cheers, I'll have a look now and let you know if it works or not.

HTC drivers are not yet compatible with win 8, I was having the same problem you shud use older version of windows.
with out the drivers sync cannot access the phone
When win 8 is officially released; HTC will release a compatible driver
This might work try once

That link is dead.
Searched and found multiple 'fixes' but none of them work for me.
Tried:
Restarting Windows 8 into "Disable driver signature enforcement" mode but HTC drivers still terminate as "not compatible with this version of Windows". cant post link, search "Installing Fastboot/ADB drivers in Windows 8"
Installing drivers via device manager but "Windows was unable to install your Android phone".
DL and installed full SDK but 'SDK Manager.exe' flashes up and closes with no further notice when trying to run.
Despite post count I'm not a noob, I am however starting to feel like one! I thought I knew what I was doing but I just can't find compatible drivers to get Windows 8 to recognise my Android so I can run ADB and Fastboot.
Appreciate some have no issues (and that's wonderful for you) but this is driving me crazy! Can someone please post a link to USB drivers that work with Windows 8 x64 and the Desire S.

Thanks, I tried that under both XP and 7 mode to no joy. It's not just this one PC, I can't get it to work on any of my (3) Win 8 machines!
For the SDK, I dl and unzipped the (almost 400Mb package) with WinRAR. With Java install, Elaipse works fine but I cannot get 'SDK Manager.exe' to run. I tried to run from both GUI and CLI but not even an error message.
Device Manager still shows exclamation mark under 'Android Device'.
I even tried to run the HTC Sync Tool but this failed at the USB driver stage. Nothing seems to work
Very frustrating as I have a custom ROM which keeps powering down randomly so I need a reload very soon.
Edit reread the whole post
I was having a lot of trouble with windows 8 x64 and jugg1es pointed me to the guide posted by .blAcK. Worked perfectly for me. Tried it on 2 different PC's. I'm not sure why it's not working for you though. I used the x64 files posted by the author of the guide.

Fastboot doesn't work on Windows 8.1

So before installing Windows 8.1, adb and fastboot worked beautifully, however after grabbing the update from the Metro store, fastboot doesn't work, my phone isn't recognized. It says something about "failed enumeration" in the device manager. I've tried reinstalling HTC Sync and redownloading it from HTC's site ti get the latest drivers (after which I uninstall HTC Sync of course)
I've also tried Koush's drivers but neither installs the fastboot driver.

I have been trying to get it recognized in fastboot for pas four hours without any luck.. Prior to this, I also had W8 with working fastboot and now I get the same error as well. I tried numerous times, even uninstalled all my drivers (except for display and mouse) to do a clean driver reinstall, but without luck :/

Well, I tried something similar, but whenever I uninstalled the usb port from device manager, it reinstalled back and reported that the device is not recognized..
I've got HTC One and its drivers don't work on 8.1. However, I installed HTC drivers (by installing and uninstalling HTC Sync Manager - possibly the lamest method that exists) on Vista and it instantly recognized the phone. So the five hours on 8.1 could have been saved by spending circa 3 minutes on Vista.
But on some forum somebody mentioned that you can use live CD of linux and it will get recognized easily

Thanks for your fast reply. Seems that even Microsoft is providing free update for windows 8 but a phone that unable to flash by using bootloader is kinda useless for unofficial ROM users like us.
I have something don't understand from your post. You mentioned that install and uninstall the sync manager on Vista but why not back to 8? The drivers will work on 8 right? I formatted my computer back to 8 and now finally the windows recognize back my phone.
Other than that, do you still have the link to the live CD forum??

Well, my primary PC is my laptop with 8.1, but I've got desktop as well with dual-booting Vista and 8.1 and it is way faster to do it on vista, than to partition HDD and install Windows 8. Also I'm not dev or some tinkerer, so I don't need to use fastboot that often.
To answer the second question, I closed all tabs regarding the drivers on 8.1 as soon as I did what I needed on Vista, so I'm afraid I don't have the link. I could probably find it somehow using my internet history, but I spent several hours browsing various forums, so it would take me an eternity...

Please help!! (Loved tablet bricked)

You need to get Easyflasher working
If using Windows 8 or any 64bit OS, you need to disable driver signing at safemode options screen, or use a 32bit Windows 7
install universal naked drivers as per instructions in easyflasher thread
Or try Peri in my sig
