Hey.
I'm trying to unlock bootloader to send the recovery with fastboot but it stucks on sending de unlock_code.bin
The fastboot detects the device, i cant also do commands like reboot or reboot bootloader...
When i type fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin it stucks on sending forever.
I'm using a usb 2.0 port also in a windows 7 64bit, i've tried all the usb ports lol
What can i do?
I really need to root this device

do you have htc sync installed for adb drivers and have you checked device manager for (when phone is connected) android adb device
what does it say when you type in cmd:
adb devices
EDIT : make sure htc sync is NOT running in the background

I've installed htc sync to have the drivers, then uninstalled htc sync program and left the drivers.
If i connect the phone i put in "charge only" and then typing adb devices it has my device there.
I didn't understood this part: "and have you checked device manager for (when phone is connected) android adb device", where to check device manager?

you try after updating htc sync. if you fail again, you can contact service center and ask them sync isn't functioning or usb isn't working like that...:highfive: if your bootloader is still locked you can claim warranty :good:

im telling you try with another computer!!
Start the phone in fadtbootmode. Then when you connect the phone to PC with USB, it should show on your phone at the top "FASTBOOT USB", If it does not show USB means you PC cant find the drivers, in that case locate the device in device manager and update drivers, you'll find the drivers located inside the folder where you installed HTC sync, the drivers folder is called HTC Driver, if you installed it on C: drive, then this should be the path to the driver "C:\Program Files\HTC\HTC Driver".
Anyways, just look for "Fastboot - USB" on that white screen, when in fastboot mode and connected to PC via USB.
And btw what is your bootloader version?

Oh lol, actually I was recently rooting sister's set and this is the problem I faced, windows 7 wasn't picking up the drivers automatically on her lappy, so had to install them manually. While on my lappy, windows found them automatically even updated from online or something without a hitch.

Hello,
I followed Hasoon's all-in-one root toolkit and flashed the included TWRP 2.5.0.0 onto my AT&T HTC One X. Now I cannot do anything, whatever I do, it tells me "Unable to mount /cache". Could you please help me? I can't mount the sdcard to the computer either, so I am sort of stuck.
Thanks!

Does the PC not recognize that anything is connected or does it detect that its plugged in but can't find the driver?
What rom is currently installed on the phone?

Currently I think it recognizes the phone as a media device (or similar, I forgot the name), not as a disk drive. I am on a Mac, and I have Android File Transfer installed, which then tells me that the device cannot be opened. On Windows it couldn't be opened either although it talked about a driver issue. I currently only have a Mac, but from Monday I could work on a Windows machine again.
The ROM currently being installed is the original AT&T provided ROM.
Thanks so much!

What version? IS it already installed on your phone? I'm trying to find out if you require MTP drivers or not. Latest version of sense/stock Roms require MTP driver to access the SD card.
In any case I wouldn't suggest using any version of TWRP above 2.3.3.1
So, I would download twrp 2.3.3.1 and check the md5
then fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
select recovery from bootloader then try to mount sdcard with twrp.

I see, this all sounds like I need to wait for a windows machine.
I am not sure what ROM version, unfortunately. I bought the phone in December from AT&T, and it all looks like it asks for MTP drivers. I will try this with a Windows machine and then get back to this post - thank you so very much for your help.

Alright, I have tried this with the latest HTC Sync manager: the MTP Drivers however won't install. I have tried with the One X+ of my Dad (which is also brand new, so probably requires the newest version also), and it installs fine and appears as a media device in the explorer. Mine however does not do anything, and driver installation says it fails to install the driver. I have tried manually installing the drivers, however, it seems to have to do with the phone because when I disconnect it suddenly Windows 7 is able to install those drivers, and as mentioned before it also works with a functional phone.
Next week I will be back at work and I have a Windows 8 machine there. I don't have high hopes that it works there, but since there seems to be an MTP driver issue with Win7, maybe there's a chance.
Is there anything else I could do?
Thanks!
PS: don't use your vacation time to root your phone...haha.

OK, so on Windows 8 I am able to install the driver, and it does not fail like in Win7, but I still can't access the mounted storage. The message of the device is:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
The process hosting the driver for this device has terminated.
Is there anything else I can do, or should I rather get a new phone?

Are you rebooting to bootloader to do the fastboot commands? In bootloader it should say Fastboot in red. Then after a couple seconds that should change to Fastboot USB. I don't think fastboot needs the specific drivers to be on the PC like mounting the SD card requires.

You are definitely doing something wrong. fastboot commands only work within bootloader/fastboot and adb commands only work while the rom is loaded up or in sideload mode in TWRP. It's assumed you know this prior to rooting.

Turn off the phone. Then hold volume down and briefly press the power button. Don't let go of volume down until it gets to the boot loader screen. Wait for fast bot USB to display. Then you can try exad's fast boot commands.

It should change to FASTBOOT USB if you are plugged into a computer. If you connected to the computer after you got to bootloader mode, you might have to press volume up or down to get it to switch to FASTBOOT USB Maybe this is the root of your problem. Have you tried multiple USB cables? Is there any crud in the micro-USB port on your phone? It's a little odd that the micro-USB port would break in a manner that charging would still work but not data connections, but I'm starting to wonder if that isn't the case.

Hello,
I was reading a thread on someone who had the exact same issue, but no solution was ever posted.
Here's the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458066
Background - this is a friends HTC Inspire, no rooting or anything was attempted, factory untouched phone bought new from AT&T.
Turns on, eventually goes to a 2 green arrows in a circle around a phone and then to a red triangle with red exclamation point over a black phone. I can hold the volume up and power to reset or wipe cache, neither does anything. Comes back to the same screen. says:

I tried formatting the sd card and using recovery and stock rom to load, nothing worked, as if not recognized. The sd card had data on it(which was accessible), which I transfered to the computer before formatting.
Any ideas? I have never used an android device but I've been reading through this forum and others for hours now... phone is outside of warranty now too, so that's no longer an option. Thanks in advance.

It failed during the update to the current rom version or was reset/lost power during update. Use a pc to download the most recent ruu update for the inspire from HTC. Then download and install htc sync on pc. Place phone into fastboot mode with sd card inserted and then plug into pc. Run ruu from pc. Data will be lost but phone will be usable.

So Gizmoe, I am in the same boat as original poster. I downloaded the correct ruu from HTC , but PC won't recognize phone. Point of clarification
When you say "place phone into fast boot mode" does that mean just connect to PC at that point or do I shut phone down and then connect. I've been going bonkers since ATT pushed software update and bricked the phone.
Thanks for any advice.

It means with phone powered off hold down volume up and press power. Continue to hold volume until you see the hboot screen. Then select fastboot ( vol + - to make choice power to select). Then plug into pc. You should see the words fastboot usb on phone.

Ok, we'll I got it into fast boot USB mode, plugged in USB to PC, ran exe ruu file (which takes forever btw) and then got connection error. Ruu application then exits. Must be something hosed up in the phone with drivers. Bummer
I just checked Windows devices and it is showing as a "Device failed enumeration" error. Trying to troubleshoot that but have my doubts right now. I did notice that when I connected it earlier today PC saw it as G drive for a split second and then it dropped.

Do you have HTC sync installed and running?
Hi Gizmoe. Well I have HTC Sync but I didn't think I needed to have that running. I just ran the ruu exe file, but got connection error. I just tried HTC Sync with phone in fastboot usb mode but HTC Sync can't see it. Version of HTC Sync is 3.3.63. The other thing I noticed is that if phone is off and plugged into PC it is recognized as a removable device with a G: drive letter in device manager, but doesn't show up in file explorer and running exe or HTC Sync still can't see it.
If it's connected when it's in fastboot usb mode then windows says "last device connected malfunctioned " and PC doesn't see it.
I'm in this catch 22. Tried to do recovery process to install a ruu off sdcard which errors out, and can't install ruu from pc since phone usb connection not recognized.

UPDATE: I decided to just try the recovery method again while the phone was plugged into USB cable just to charge it. Well it downloaded the latest HTC version of the ROM and it installed....YEAH, BUT phone thinks it's a Desire , not an Inspire and the IMEI MMEI etc. info is missing. No connectivity to mobile network. And I don't have keyboard function either. Sooo, I think I will try another ruu and see if that works starting from scratch. I guess I'm still missing some files or steps in this process. I used to be in the PC business and thought they could be convoluted, but cellphones take the cake.

Yes they do. Just an fyi the desire and inspire are exactly the same device and HTC left the inspire name out of the build prop. It will say it's a desire HD, so that's normal. The rest isn't though. Yeah I would try the ruu again. Just make sure HTC sync is installed and running. You can run it from the phones os too.

Gizmoe, thought I'd give you the latest update: I was able to finally get the PC (Win8) to recognize the phone by installing HTC Sync 3.3.63, installing Win7 64bit drivers.
Then I downloaded RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_Cingular_US_3.20.502.63_Radio_12.69c.60.29U_26.09.13.17_M_release_335423_signed from HTC site. This is an exec file.
Got phone into USB debugging mode, fastboot off , charge only, and ran the above RUU. Seemed to be working as it asked if I wanted to update etc. and warned about losing data. Said ok and RUU exec then popped up status window saying "Waiting for bootloader......................"
This ran for a few minutes and then Windows popped up message saying last USB device connected failed. Then RUU exec finally popped up and said Connection Error 171. No choice but to exit program. This has happened twice. Very annoying. Took forever to get PC to recognize phone and now I'm still stuck with a brick thanks to ATT.
Any thoughts ?

Got phone into USB debugging mode, fastboot off , charge only, and ran the above RUU. Seemed to be working as it asked if I wanted to update etc. and warned about losing data. Said ok and RUU exec then popped up status window saying "Waiting for bootloader......................"
This ran for a few minutes and then Windows popped up message saying last USB device connected failed. Then RUU exec finally popped up and said Connection Error 171. No choice but to exit program. This has happened twice. Very annoying. Took forever to get PC to recognize phone and now I'm still stuck with a brick thanks to ATT.
Any thoughts ?

Ahh yes windows 8 is a ***** with android devices and fastboot drivers. I would recommend trying it on a machine with windows 7. Also are you s off. If so you can try PD98IMG.

Yes, apparently there are a lot of issues with Win8 and android. I can try it on a machine with 7 or even XP. Unfortunately I'm S-ON so no go on PD98IMG. I'll let you know what happens when I try it on the other Windows machines.
Thanks

UPDATE:
SUCCESS !! :good: Well it only took a boatload of patience and a 7 yr. old laptop running XP to get the phone re-imaged. Process was sloooow (about 30 minutes) but all drivers loaded and the stock ROM from HTC installed fine. Phone is now back to operational. Turns out I didn't lose contacts since they were apparently backed up in Google account. (YEAH) Now I just have to manually install 4 more small security patches from HTC. Their website isn't too clear as to how to do this but I'll muddle thru it.
Thanks Gizmoe for your help and suggestions. You are right I would definitely recommend that anyone trying to root, recover or re-image from scratch an Android from a PC to avoid Win8 at this time and stick with Win7 or XP.
Help me please!

A PD98IMG is a way to install various things but requires an s off device. It is not a method to acheive s off. What exactly is the problem you are having? Are you not able to boot your device? If you are still stock, run the current RUU from HTC through fastboot as explained in previous posts in this thread.
HTC bootloader problem
Gizmoe, I am joining this group, I have the same problem, followed all steps. my problem is that RUU during the process sends msg to phone to reboot and start Bootloader my phone reboots and stays with white screen / green HTC logo (freezes?) RUU after waiting for Bootloader returns error 171 connection problem. My guess is that bootloader is not starting and RUU times out and thinks that it is connection problem.
Uninstalled sync and reinstalled latest version, deleted and re downloaded latest RUU. System recognizes phone ( device manager shows HTC). Any suggestions? Thanks.

Yeah there seems to be a communication issue. Try putting phone into fastboot. Make sure phone reads fastboot usb. Then run RUU. There may be programs in pc as well blocking it. See if you can send fadtboot commands if the aforementioned method doesn't work. If that's how you already tried running it then run it from booted phone.
Guys, i need some help.
I was able to install the Viper ROM without any problems. But when i did a factory reset, i'm now stuck on the HTC ONE screen. I can still get to the recovery without issue. But i can't reflash it because i don't have anything in my sdcard to flash.
I found somebody had this issue too:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...2518736&page=3
I'm trying to push the rom into my sd card but i can't get my computer to recognize my phone! It's having the HTC MCP device driver issue (code 10). Tried installing HTC sync and that didn't help. Tried uninstalling the driver, but it won't allow me to install driver after i uninstall. Tried to update the driver but Windows is saying driver is up to date and won't let me update. Without getting my phone to be recognized by my computer, i can't push anything into my phone.
I posted in the Viper forum and i was told that maybe i need to reflash the boot.img since I'm on S-On. Which i think is the case.
The thing is i can't flash boot.img because of this MTP issue. I tried different cables with different USB ports. Nothing's working. When i plug in with HTC One, it recognizes fine. But when i plug in with One S, it's back to that MTP issue.
Anybody has any suggestions?
Thanks!

Fixed it!! i used CWM sideload. Go into recovery, then go into sideload. Connect your usb, then open adb. type "adb devices" just to make sure you're connected.
Now, you want to flash the ROM again. Download the zip file and put it into the same folder as adb. then type this command: adb sideload <filename of update.zip> and you're good to go!
Let me know if you have any questions!!
i made a extremely poor decision and was trying to change the boot animation loader when i actually changed the boot cmd and now it boots to samsung then to download everytime,. i can get into the onboard recovery yet i cant access safestrap and none of the many many drivers ive tried i cant get the phone to show to connect, its listed as unknown device in my device manager and ive hand picked the ones im supposed to have to other ones. ADB doesnt see it either and i was wondering if there is cmd for adb to find myu device, if you help me guys i promise ill only practice on hand me down smart phones.

This may be a dumb question, but have you tried Odin? I have had situations similar to this with my Samsung devices and always thought i bricked. But as long i could get into download mode, i could Odin back to stock and start over.

ya but i havent even tried loading a file into odin cause it wont see my device
and i have installed the samsung drivers but after this happened my pc wont see the phone
has to be a way to get a connection between the pc and phone
I'm not an expert so I'm not sure. Do you have the correct drivers installed on PC?
---------- Post added at 06:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:30 AM ----------
Try different Odin versions. And make sure you have the proper drivers installed on the PC.
ya ive actually read that it probably doesnt have the function running to talk with the pc cause it cant boot. im all set up to reset the phoone. just need it to appear in my odin

When you boot to system
It doesn't show anything right ??
but the touch is still functioning
Sent from my GT-i9300 running cm11 using tapatalk.
when i just boot it goes to download mode and says "could not do do normal boot"
i can access recovery mode and download mode but i cant get drivers to show it, and it used to show it until i did this, can i put a file on my micro SDcard from my pc via card reader then install it in recovery mode ? like firmware or a memory wipe reset?
If you can get into recovery, I believe that would be possible. Couldn't hurt to try. As long as you can get into recovery and all the recovery functions work, I don't see why you couldn't.
fixed it!
well after two nights of reading i got my pc to discover the device by changing ports three different times to find one that seamed to like it. and also installed kies and installed the drivers from them, (figured couldnt go wrong after as many as ive used from samsung and others). so win7 pro / altered boot command and only stock options afterwards sucks big time. ty all for helping me
never let up
