[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...

I can tell you its easy once you boot into linux,I was a complete novice with unbuntu and I got it to work,I spent a bit of time reading up on using the commands and it went like a breeze.

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.

Well the only thing I could find was this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775870
But that's meant for the international One X so I'm pretty positive that it may not work on our device...

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).

Did you uninstall whatever HTC drivers you had before installing HTC sync?

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.

Can you update hboot without updating stock ROM?

Hey guys, I just got 2 HTC Sensation 4Gs off of Craigslist, they are both still running Gingerbread. I want to root and custom rom, but I'm aware that I cannot install newer ICS+ ROMs without updateing the hboot.
My question is, is it easier to HTC Dev Unlock, root, s-off, Super CID, and THEN update the hboot. Or update the phone with the official ICS update (thus also updating the hboot) and THEN HTC Dev Unlock, root, s-off, Super CID?
I've already had experience rooting and s-off(ing) 2 ICS sensations, but don't know if I could do it easier if I don't update them first.
If it is easier to update the hboot after rooting Gingerbread, can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

Hi,
If you intend to s-off on GB ,then, do NOT go to HTCDEV
S-off using revolutionary.
Look HERE
Everything is listed in order.
Then, update the firmware/radio HERE , using the 3.33 Universal firmware.
Then,install custom ROM.

Thanks! Exactly what I wanted. question though, is the latest 3.33 okay to use on T-Mobile? Or is there a more T-Mobile optimised version I should use?

It says enter Serial Number on Revolutionary IO. Does it mean the S/N beneath the battery or the IMEI? Both are getting accepted and I'm being given 2 different keys. I'm pretty confident that it means the S/N so that's what i'm going to try. Is that correct?

Okay cool. And it doesn't seem to detect my phone. I had the drivers installed already, but no matter what mode the phone is in the Revolutionary.exe isn't finding it. I'm on Windows XP

Hi,
Yes,you need a sd card.
It is far easier to s-off with revolutionary,so it is worth the effort to find the correct drivers,and re-install them(and reboot the pc)
Also try different usb slots,and a different cable if you have one.

Okay, thanks. I'll also try doing it in Linux Mint. I'll let you know if I need more help.
But one last question. In step one it says:
1. Run the revolutionary Utility you just downloaded from http://revolutionary.io/ and if it has found your device it should read
"Found your Device: HTC Sensation Z710* Applications -> Development)
It doesn't say to plug in the phone, which is a given, or what mode it needs to be in?
THEN it says to do it again but this time plug in the phone, in normal mode, and set it to HTC sync

No, I plug the phone in and then start the utility. It wouldn't find it though so I uninstalled and re-installed the drivers. But I can't restart my PC right now. In 90 minutes I can though. (watching a live stream with family)
I'll let you know if I get it working, whether through windows or linux.

Ugh, my PC is saying that USBcoinstaller.dll is missing. Any idea how to get it? I can't find it by searching google.
Maybe I have to download the android SDK. Didn't need to before when I rooted my ICS sensation a few months ago. But maybe I have to for gingerbread.

As well as installing sdk,have you tried installing the latest HTCSync?

Okay, I'm having problems. I tried following [GUIDE] (For Noobs) SDK, ADB, and Drivers and now my ADB isn't working!
I tried downloading and installing the recommended SDK zip and it wasn't giving me the files he said it would, then I installed revision 9 and 15 because it said it neded them, they ended up bringing "Platform-tools" which contains another ADB.exe, and it won't let me delete it. I tried installing the latest HTC Sync and it doesn't find my phone. It still gives me the error about USBCoInstaller.dll I am going to reboot my PC but I honestly don't know what I did or how to fix it. Everytime I start any ADB including revolutionary.exe it pops open does a TON of text for a split second and then closes again. Any Suggestions after I reboot?
Edit: actually revolutionary.exe pops open and closes quickly without displaying anything.

My brother fixed it. apparently I want thinking about the fact that HTC sync can't be installed. And the driver wasn't completely installed, which he solved as well. So we're now using revolutionary.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry I should have been more specific. My phone has the latest t-mobile us update firmware version 3.14.531.11 i'm running the stock t-mobile rom. Bootloader is unlocked using htc dev
Steps; I uninstalled sync from my computer and extracted moonshine in the same folder where i have adb, fastboot installed. I tested adb commands to ensure the computer could communicate with the phone then I ran the distiller.exe and i can only get just past where it checks for updates (which is does successfully) then it fails. I read somewhere in a forum to freeze htc sync on the phone and i have tried this with still no luck. I have even tried deleting the apk with no result. I'm not sure what i am doing wrong but obviously something as others seem to have no problems. I have tried this on two different computers now with the same result.
Thanks again for your help

HTC Sync is the biggest obstacle. What step are you failing. There are 3 steps for testing. I could not get past 2nd and finally decided to tun in Linux. I had installed Linux Mint v14 on second hd but do not use much. It come handy this time. Went trough with no errors. The Ubuntu have program called "wubi" (I think) that will let you install linux alone with windows. You can uninstall latter as any programs. The moonshine web site have version for linux. Some users experience success in Windows by freezing the Sync. Unfortunately, you can not uninstall without being s=off.
In developer section, there is moonshine thread. See if you can get more info there.

One of the very first things that moonshine checks for is to verify that USB debugging is turned On. I see that you have tested the adb but just wanted to make sure that the USB debugging it active.

I am sure USB debugging is active but i cannot even get to the steps everyone speaks of. When I get home i have a linux machine set up i will try. Thanks for all your help.

This looks like a good place for my question.. I'm running moonshine and I love it. I'm just wondering for future reference, will I need to take any additional special steps before returning to stock via RUU. I already know about stock recovery and kernels and what not, just wondering if i will need to do anything specifically with moonshine before reverting to stock. Thanks!

[Q] S-off attempts timing out in bootloader

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.

[Q] Haven't touched it in a year- now what?

My wife's phone, it's currently running CleanROM JL beta 1, android 4.1. it's been running this for over a year. time to upgrade it. i haven't kept up with development on this phone and now i'm totally lost.
bootloader says:
tampered
unlocked
Evita PVT SHIP S_ON RL
hboot 1.14.0002
radio: 0. 19as. 32.09. 11_2
eMMC-boot
...etc.
recovery is TWRP v2.4.1.0
i have no idea where to go from here. can i just drop a new rom on the sd card and flash it from recovery? don't have any software, adb etc and my only computers are macs. would love some advice or at least get pointed in the right direction. tried searching, but i'm just overwhelmed.
i would love to get as close to vanilla android as possible. thanks in advance for the help!

You can't do anything without first updating your firmware. For that you're gonna need access to a PC with an adb/fastboot environment on it. You need to get s-off, then update your firmware, then flash the latest TWRP recovery, then you will be able to update the ROM.

I'll quickly explain the flashing firmware. Firmware is basically the stuff like boot loader and radio. You need the entire firmware package updated.
So to do that, we have to get your phone into that mode that's like when you're taking a RUU. It's the black screen with a green progress bar. From there, we use an unusual command to install the firmware.
Just read the "How to Update Firmware" in my Sig and apply that method to any firmware package, as long as you're s-off and supercid
