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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Just a guess but that error for me in the past meant I was missing some drivers some were.
Or HTC sync is running in the background while your trying to run the ruu make sure it's disabled.
And boot loader must be locked to run ruu.

Just tried to install Cyanogenmod for the first time but i am also stuck like many others. So excuse me for any noobness.
Got an HTC one S. Installed Cyanogenmod 1.0.0-ville (stable), rooted with openrecovery. Forgot to wipe the data and cache before install so thought that might be the reason for not getting past the Cyanogen BOOT screen, did it afterwards still no response. Followed instructions coming from this thread but am stuck with he ""waiting for device" error when executing fastboot flash boot boot.img. I think it has something to do with not having the USB debug mode. Fastboot doesnt recognize the device.
The thing that puzzles me is that at point 2 of the instuctions USB debugging must be enabled, how can i check this mode is enabled without getting into the Android device settings?
Sounds like a driver issue to me. Have you used the phone on that computer before.

Hmm... Maybe try re-installing HTC Sync and the drivers on your PC. This post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604677 has a link for the drivers.
Just curios - what hboot, radio do you have? Are you s-on or s-off? And what TWRP version are you using?
Did you make a backup you could restore?
**Edit**
One last thought, what ROM were you running before? Was it stock? I'm wondering if you could flash a rom that works with the stock kernel (maybe TrickDroid 7.0?). It depends on what you were running before. Other option is to run an RUU to get back to stock,and then start from scratch. Can be a pain, but will give you a fresh start. I'm sure those aren't the only solutions, as I'm still learning all this stuff.
Good luck and feel free to ask questions...

Hi all,
I am attempting to S-off the wife's ATT HTC One X, so that I can install a Kit Kat Rom in it. Her phone is unlocked and running CM10.2, but she's S-on.
I've tried several toolkits, but they get stuck and time out waiting for the device once it reboots into the bootloader. In debugging mode, adb devices identified the phone just fine, but the computer (running Windows 8.1) says doesn't recognize the phone when in bootloader. I've got Koush's Universal ADB driver installed, installed HTC Sync for the drivers, then uninstalled the program. The drivers are still there when I navigate to them.
If this isn't the appropriate forum, then I apologize.
Many thanks in advance!

Rumrunner is one. It reboots into bootloader post the warnings then runs its 120 seconds and times out waiting for the device.
Ah, windows 8 and newer have problems with fastboot. That's why. Do you have access to a computer with windows 7 or lower?

I can put an old HD back in with W7. I take it there is no workaround with 8.1?
Windows 8 is fine with fastboot but 8.1 is where the problems begin. No workaround yet. What see the bootloader details though? Depending on your current setup you might not even need s-off yet. S-off isn't required to flash the ROMs, but it's required to update your firmware (via an RUU). If your firmware is up to date you can just flash.

What all do you need to know? She has her phone with her today.
She has 2.18. I don't know other details off the top of my head and walking her through to boot to bootloader would be an utter disaster, lol.
The reason for trying to get S-off was that both the KitKat versions of CM and PA stated that S-off was required.
Thanks for your help.
If your cousin can't get to the bootloader by herself, then she has absolutely no business having a modified phone. Handing a modified device to someone who has no idea about what they're doing is a bad idea. The device has root privileges, access to areas that see not normally accessible. This means it's easy top screw up the device if you don't know what you're doing. Also, if something goes wrong she's not gonna know what to do, will probably panic and screw it up even more. Return it to stock.

Appreciate the concern. This is my wife's phone, and she's handled CM10.2 just fine for the last 6 months. She's informed enough to not do something stupid, but let's me handle rooting and flashing.
