I've tried just about everything to get my fastboot working. I'm running on Windows 8. I've tried tool and scripts, different drivers, HTC Sync, EVERYTHING.
I've gotten ADB to work but fastboot won't recognize my phone.When I put my phone into fastboot mode, I can go into my computer and look up the phone in device manager and I do see the phone. Unfortunately, it presents an error that say the device has failed to start. This has been unchanged through out every "fix" I've tried. Any ideas?
Windows 8 is notorious for breaking fastboot. There are a few supposed ways to fix it. Exactly what have you tried? Saying you've tried "everything" doesn't actually tell us anything.

Oops, sorry. I've tried the tools that are supposed to set up fastboot for you, I downloaded the SDK and got the fastboot and adb files but nothing shows up in the "fastboot devices". I've also tried the HTC Sync route as well as numerous drivers that are claimed to be the "fix".
What about some of the guides that are available that specifically address this problem?

I've tried all the results on that first page. Nearly every time, I get an error message with a yellow triangle for an icon:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
A request for the USB BOS descriptor failed.
Yeah I thought as much. I haven't seen people with Windows 8+ have much luck with fastboot. To be honest the only real fix I've seen is to use a different version of Windows, unfortunately that isn't as easy as some as it is for others.

Pretty much what I'd figured. Well, thanks for the help. I think I can get by with that app Flashify for now.

Download latest HTC driver , go into your device manager in win 8 and in device mgr menu options on top make sure and click show hidden (not connected ) devices. You then will have to click onto the greyed out HTC or android name in device mgr tree and update manually . you have to actually go to the sub folder in the driver update and not just click the folder that its in. Lol its a pain but it does work. You can Google manually install HTC driver for win 8 and there is couple tutorials. Hope it helps. I beta tested win 8
And had to do that. Lol im back to win 7 and Ubuntu now

Hi Guys,
Have literally spent 8 hours trying to fix this damn phone, it's my mothers which needs a complete wipe using the stock rom. Even my younger brother had a go for a week and has been passed on to me. Not touched an Android phone in about two years so very rusty with the whole roms and flashing etc.
The main issue is I can't get Windows 8.1 to see the phone in USB wether it be plugged directly in Android, USB debug, bootloader or Fastboot USB. I have installed ADB with all the drivers, tried multiple HTC drivers and HTC Sync, PDAnet, AMD chipset drivers, USB controller drivers, random drivers from here on XDA as well as a multitude of other sites. Tried USB 3.0 and 2.0 (front and back slots).
How am I supposed to flash a custom recovery without the computer seeing the phone? If I can just get that sorted I am pretty much set with getting the stock rom on there and the rest. Not sure what my brother has put on it or if he has flashed a custom rom or changed the radio/boot because I have no clue what the phone is supposed to be running.
Please some help here, don't really want to be spending more time on this.

I'm not sure how to help you, because i don't even know, if your phone boots to OS or not.
There are some apps out like flashify or TWRP Manager which should be able to flash a recovery from OS, but i never used that tools and don't know, if they work with One SV.
You should really get your fastboot working. I don't have windows 8(.1), but there are many threads here on xda about that.
Other solution could be to search for someone with a windows 7 pc.

Yes the phone does boot into the OS but again is not properly recognized, PDAnet and HTC Sync find the phone but doesn't show up or in ADB. I have checked well over 30 threads on here regarding Windows 8.1, downloading various tools and drivers etc without success.
Will check out those links.
Thanks.
My question is:
Can you use a Nexus tablet or any android device for that matter, to perform fastboot or adb terminal commands to another device like a Nexus 5 for example, via USB? (terminal emulator?)
Essentially what I'm try to do is unlock the bootloader on my Nexus 5 (replacement that's coming in the mail) and any future Nexus devices, using a Nexus tablet instead of a PC.
The reason I'm asking this:
I'm fed up of laptop computers with mechanical parts, unreliable HDD etc etc..and I'm making the switch to a tablet.
I was dead set on the new Nexus tablet coming out... but then I came to realize without a PC of some sort, how the hell can I unlock the bootloader of my future Nexus devices???
My only alternative is the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 because it still has fully functional windows and can run terminal commands linked to .exe files. via USB attached to an Android.
But for functionality I think the new Nexus tablet coming out will better suit my needs, since windows is certainly not up to par in the mobile world.
no
I had the same question... I'm getting rid of my slow Microsoft PC! Luv my tab and hope someone figures out a way to do this....
Adb yes but its much harder than windows / Linux / Mac. Fastboot no.

Maybe if you got Ubuntu to run? (Not sure about Ubuntu Touch though)
Well this is a REAL SHAME, because it means anybody here with an Android, still needs a PC currently..
Unless you throw on dual boot Ubuntu on another Android device to run commands.. and that's just a maybe
Get a laptop/PC with an SSD then, and join the master race:

na, dont need a computer. you can use towelroot to toot your device. then use flashify to flash a custom recovery once you have root. and you can unlock/lock your bootloader with an app as well.

It is a good idea to have a computer because if you run into problems and the phone can't boot, all options are exhausted without a computer... If you needed fastboot to repair.

True fastboot is not. Substitute methods, yes.

I've been trying to root for ages, but no matter what I do I can't get ADB to recognize my device. I've tried reinstalling the drivers from I don't know how many sources as well as adb/fastboot several times, but I always get the same result:

In the device manager I get a yellow flag on the ADB interface:
I honestly don't think there's any way I can do it unless I get some help from you guys. So please? How do I get my computer to recognize my OPO once and for all?
I'm following this guide FYI (must be the fifth I try): http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/106856/how-to-root-oneplus-one

Honestly you don't need adb portion working to do this. Have you tried seeing if your computer recognizes your opo in fastboot mode?
Turn your phone off hold volume up and power button it will boot into fastboot. Then plug your phone into your computer let it install drivers then open command prompt where your fastboot file is and type fastboot devices if it shows something your good to go follow the rest of the guide unlock bootloader and install a custom recovery and SuperSU to root.
Also if its me I would install twrp recovery.
you sure you got the right drivers?
@Seleuco try this tutorial and also check Y for install adb drivers

You need to install divers first, look at your screenshot, you have no driver installed for adb device.

Did you also tried to install the driver manually in device manager?
See this link how you can do that:
http://www.technobuzz.net/install-nexus-5-driver-adb-fastboot-unlock-bootloader/
If these drivers don't work and or can't install then just extract Snoop05's adb installer and use those drivers :good: hope this would work now,
the issue is probably that there are so many drivers installed that they are conflicting with each other and windows is just deciding which one is better, so manually overriding it should fix it and else I guess you have to remove the old adb drivers with an program but first try these easy methods
Hello All
I have had to reinstall stock(sm-g930f) due to an own stupid(again) mistake.
The OS is reinstalled and working and now I would like to flash Magisk through ADB. ADB recognises the phone by "adb devices" when in normal mode. When in fastboot (download mode) it does not recognise the phone. All it states is: List of devices attached
Can someone help me to overcome this, or if you have another suggestion to flash Magisk?
Edit:
after searching for a long time I read somewhere:
Do not put phone in download(fastboot) mode, only in charging mode when connected to the PC's motherboard USB port. Works flawless since, with having the relevant ADB drivers installed.
Adb is adb.
Fastboot is fastboot.
For adb, you need adb binaries.
For fastboot, you need fastboot binaries.
I have downloaded these and and haven't had any luck. Is there a detail how-to somewhere?

Probably because you didn't have drivers installed.
You need to find the specific drivers for your device model and install it.
Good luck.

THANK YOU!!! From a fellow Kiwi. I followed a tutorial for my Nokia G20 and they left this part out! Faaaaar out. You're my hero
Guys I am getting desperate here. I hate crying in the forums for help, but that's why they are here. I am sorry but here I am to whine about the problem that I am facing whole day.
I tried with OP, Samsung, Xiaomi, Google USB drivers. Nothing so far works. I tried many options but I can' make the Windows to recognize the phone after getting into BL. Windows 11, tried all my USB ports (I have only 3), no success. Pushed even Googles driver files manualy from the Device manager and I chose the BL option of the driver, that didn't work, then I tried the rest of the 3 options of the driver, that didn't work either.
I followed this metod as well - https://www.droidwin.com/how-to-install-fastboot-drivers-in-windows-11/
The only thing that has left as an option is the lack of USB 2.0. If this is the problem I am gonna throw up...
Any help or suggestion would be highly appreciated.

i could be way off base here but your in fastboot so the CMD should be "fastboot devices". Your screen looks no dif then mine
Are the drivers installed correctly, ie with admin rights, and if so, is the help in the link that works, but requires more time and effort. With that guide, I will install the win 11 and win 10 drivers myself.
How to Disable Driver Signature Verification on 64-Bit Windows 8 or 10 (So That You Can Install Unsigned Drivers)
64-bit versions of Windows 10 and 8 include a “driver signature enforcement” feature. They’ll only load drivers that have been signed by Microsoft. To install less-than-official drivers, old unsigned drivers, or drivers you’re developing yourself, you’ll need to disable driver signature enforcement.
