[Q] Trying to unlock bootloader, windows 8.1 will not recognize device - HTC One Mini

Hi! I'm having some issues trying to unlock my bootloader so I can root my new one mini.
I've been trying to follow the instructions here: http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/unlock-instructions/
But when I get to step five, fastboot won't detect the phone. adb can't see the phone either. My computer cannot recognize the device
I have sync killed on my computer, I've tried both USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports, and I know my USB driver is up to date.
Something with my computer's OS or drivers is not working, and I can't figure out how to progress. Can anyone help?

HTC USB drivers don't work on Windows 8/8.1.

HTC Desire Driver and S-off Help

Dunno whether this is the right forum to ask ....
I was trying to S-off but failed in step 3 after being stuck for over 40 mins or so.
I rebooted in recovery and restored thru backup. From that point onwards whenever I connect my desire the comp asks for drivers for Android phone and does not recognize USB Drivers. But it recognizes as Bootloader interface in HBOOT USB Mode.
Also I'm trying to S-off with Virtualbox method but am not able to connect my Desire rather it's not able to recognize the device.
Just for clarifications, USB debugging is normal, am able to connect as disk drive and perform other normal functions.
Any help?
Nvm... Eventually did S-off with CD method...

Usb drivers for your android phone

USB Drivers are let your PC communicate with your device.
If you are executing some ADB Commands, you will need USB Drivers installed which will let the ADB server on your PC communicate with the ADB client on your device. If there are no USB Drivers installed on your PC, you will not be able to perform activities on your device via the PC.
First of All I would recommend you to install Universal ADB Driver Installer.The Universal ADB Driver installer detects your phone and installs the ADB drivers for it.This tool developed by drsmart is your solution to the “device not found” error you might get on executing ADB commands.

MORE DEVICES WILL BE UPDATED
Thanks for the info. I tried the univ adb driver installer but it showed I already had the right driver installed. Windows explorer can see my phone but other apps like HTC Sync or myphoneexplorer can't. This only happened after I rooted & installed a new rom. Maybe the rom is faulty...

Rooted
I was running CM 10.2 with latest nightly, I think 20131208 and decided to update to CM11 via my Cyanogenmod updater but before I did I had read somewhere I should change from CWM recovery to TWRP so I downloaded Goomanager and updated to the TWRP version for my phone then went for the KitKat update and thats when the trouble began.
I am now stuck in a boot loop even if I try to boot into TWRP all I get is the TWRP boot logo then straight into boot loop again. I am almost positive I did a factory wipe as well as cache/dalvik.
Not being able to use TWRP to get into recovery I thought I would just use Odin but I can't get any of my laptops to recognize the phones USB, I just get the windows usb driver error and have tried to install the drivers manually via device manager using my samsung 7 chronos with windows 8.1 and my acer with windows 7. I updated drivers using Samsung Kies and from the website, no luck.
I also ventured into an area that I have no expertise in but I guess thats how we learn so I downloaded the Android SDK thinking I could use it to download and install the google USB drivers that way, but I can't get out of boot loop to make sure USB debugging is checked. The only thing I can access is the stock download mode which would be great if I could use the USB connection.
What am I missing? Any suggestions?
USB Not Recognized Error
I noticed that my phone suddenly stopped being recognized on both my Windows 7 and Win8 laptops. I have been trying to fix it with the drivers but to no avail. However, I plugged my phone in with a different USB cord and voila it was recognized and working. Maybe this could possibly be a simple fix.
My computer stopped recognizing my Skyrocket
Hi Everyone,
I also am having trouble with my win 7 computer recognizing my Skyrocket suddenly. I have been using several KitKat roms and they have been working just fine, except for some reported bugs that the CM devs are working on. I even was able to connect to the computer and explore both my internal and external drives. Then suddenly that stopped and the computer gave me a need to get drivers warning. I've tried to download drivers from Samsung and the computer says they are already installed. I also tried the universal driver download and got the same message. Any help would be appreciated. Like the others on this forum, I wouldn't be able to odin if I got in trouble.
Thanks for your concideration,
drewfs7270
I switched to a different rom and now it's working again !

Also, any mobile manufacturer website has guides or direct downloads for drivers. Otherwise uni drivers suffice.....

Can anybody give me a solution? By the way i'm using windows 7 x64.

soft brick
I face bad experienced, the tablet can not boot ( after install TWRP ) but enable to enter the fastboot mode and can be detected by the computer as android adb interface but adb can't communicated with the tablet. (list of devices atached)
I do have a backup file ( I make it before soft brick, I make backup using dd command, because I don't have cwm/twrp recovery ).... but how to flash it ? Tablet chipset is wonder media 8980 OS android 4.2.2
I can not flash it by adb/fastboot.
Maybe someone here can give me a little guide for how to....
I really appreciate for your kindness
Hey, I made an expirience, which might help other users as well.
I have a Sony device (Z1C) and use Windows 10, maybe this will help for other brands and for other Windows 10 users.
I installed drivers for my device and was able to use adb. When I put the phone into fastboot mode, it was not recognized anymore. I found out, Sony has a seperate (updated, maybe?) driver for fastboot mode. When I tried to install this, the driver was not signed and Windows refused to install it. However, you can enter the UEFI (successor of BIOS) and enable installation of unsigned drivers (at own risk). Then I was able to install the fastboot driver and controll my phone in fastboot mode as well as in adb mode.
In conclusion: You might think you installed drivers, because you did, but maybe you did not.
Even on LineageOS page, many people fail to mention that, you DON'T and SHOULDN'T install any generic or universal ADB driver if you have Samsung device. As you can just install Samsung USB Drivers officially from Samsung site. Samsung USB Drivers already contain ABD interface driver just fine so Universal ADB driver is redundant for Samsung phones.

[Q] Fastboot AC windows Vista drivers?

I've got a rooted but not s=off HTC One XL which I'm trying to do s=off and get back on the latest version of CM. The problem I have is that I can't get fastboot to work anymore. From a command prompt I can do adb devices and get a response back that shows my phone. I issue the adb reboot bootloader and my phone reboots into the bootloader. The problem is it says fastboot ac and fastboot devices shows nothing. There are several odd things which partially leads me to suspect that my phone has something wrong with it. The only device that will show my phone through adb is my wife's ancient laptop, and I get a message about the USB port slowing things down. My work laptop, personal laptop, and PC all refuse to see the phone despite downloading HTC Sync, installing it for the drivers and removing Sync. Only the old laptop gets as far as the adb devices to work.
When I boot into bootloader, Windows Vista gives a message about unknown device and the device manager updates from showing the phone under Android and MyHTC to going under Universal Serial Bus controllers and showing as an unknown device. I try to update the drivers and point at HTC driver and windows lies to me and says that the best driver is already installed.
I'm at a total loss and can't find anything else to try. I have also used two different cables with the same results, one is a generic USB cable and the other is an HTC cable. I can mount the phone as a USB drive and copy/paste files. It is only in the bootloader that the phone becomes unknown.
Try using a linux bootable usb stick or a windows vm. It's more likely that something is interfering with the driver.

However, when i boot into fastmode, it doesnt recognize the device at all. i tried updating driver but nothing changed. What should i do???? please help me!

you probably need a PC running WinXP / Win7 to do it
the phone cant be recognized in Win8 or later even the HTC driver installed properly
