I want to apologize because i think you get this question a lot, but i experience problems trying to root my HTC Sensation. Also i was not able to include images because of "To prevent spam on the XDA forums, ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages. After approximately 10 posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thank you for understanding!"
I turned **USB Debugging ON** and connected phone to PC. Not sure if **Fast boot** should be turned **ON** in **Settings > Power** section but it is. (i.stack.imgur.com/Xqxdh.jpg)
My device was recognized successfully (i.stack.imgur.com/6YPWU.png)
Also it was shown in adb list
PHP:
C:\sdk\platform-tools>adb.exe devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
HT15LVXXXXXX device
Now i took out my battery, inserted that back, pushed and hold Power button and Volume Down and voila, i am in HBOOT.
I pressed Power button once, choosing FASTBOOT (i.stack.imgur.com/DZ7gv.jpg)
My phone connected to Windows, but this time device was not recognized. (i.stack.imgur.com/lXOgd.png)
I tried to add drivers for that device manually, but it failed (i.stack.imgur.com/vNxTL.png)
I even tried to add %MyHTC%=HTCAND32.Dev, USB\UNKNOWN to androidusb.inf and then add driver manually, but device was not working anyway and fastboot devices command returned empty list.
I tried same operations on my Mac using fastboot-mac for that and i got same result as on Windows - device is not recognized in fastboot mode.
I tried drivers from latest HTC Sync, tried 3.0.0.007, tried to use [TOOL] HTC Sensation 4G All-In-One Toolkit V3.1 [1-23-2013] [Noob-Proof]
I was not using HTC's original data cable, and i red somewhere on xda that this might be an issue. I bought original HTC Micro USB Data Cable DC-M410 and Windows recognized my phone in fastboot mode with new cable, but device was not unable to start. I uninstalled device from windows.
When i plugged my device back into PC, i got same behaviour once again "Unknown device"
Any ideas? One thing i did not tried is same operations on Linux
Can i just check, do you have htc drivers installed.
If yes, try the process again, but this time without pressing the power button the second time ( battery out, then in, then volume down+power button). Or reboot to the bootloader using the fast boot order (adb reboot bootloader).

it shows fastboot but it should say fastboot usb
so check your htc drivers again as the above user said
and if you are using 3.0 usb ports try to use 2.0 usb ports

Tried both, same result.
I found one thing. When you have fresh installation of windows 7, with java, sdk and htc drivers installed, first connect from fastboot devices is recognized with "Device could not start (Code 10)" . Second and next connects as Unknown device.
I will try ubuntu right now

Tried USB 2.0 and 3.0 everything the same. In fastboot when USB is connected it shows FASTBOOT, but if i press Volume Down button title will change to FASTBOOT USB

I am using 32bit Win7. Tried to scan folder for drivers, and tried to add them manually. I will try to install 64bit Win7 to test, but i think i need something else.
I almost gave up! I think something wrong with my device. Tried same operations on my girlfriends old laptop, with Windows XP installed and HTC 3.0.0.007 drivers. Used her data cable from HTC Desire, and same result.
Device is connected and found
adb reboot bootloader
UNKNOWN DEVICE with USB\UNKNOWN hardware id

See adb reboot bootloader
Command worked so you have working drivers
Also from your previous posts I can see that you can go to fastboot usb that also clarifies that drivers are working.. What else is holding you back now?
You can verify whether device is connected properly by these commands
adb devices (when booted normally and usb debugging enabled)
fastboot devices (from bootloader.. FASTBOOT USB)

fastboot devices shows nothing when i'm in fastboot, because phone in fastboot mode is not recognised.

But few posts above you said.. Pressing volume down button would take your device to FASTBOOT USB.. So once you went to that mode.. Tried fastboot devices?
Edit: just checked the dmesg output of ubuntu
Looks like the usb slot on your device is not working properly.. Those errors are generic usb driver connection problems

When i am in HBOOT and i press Power button to enter fastboot, when i am in fastboot he shows simply FASTBOOT (and windows starts to show notifications that i have Unknown Device), if i click Volume Down button once, title will change to FASTBOOT USB but everything stays as it was before, only title changes.

I'm also facing these issues. I am trying rumrunner to S-Off my sensation but always end up unknown device. Anyone else fixed these?
This Was my Fix:
Put this in a *.reg file (with your texteditor and rename the file to e.g. import.reg
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\0BB40FF00100]
"SkipBOSDescriptorQuery"=hex:01,00,00,00
Then import that import.reg via regeditor (as admin) into your registry. Then reboot your computer.

This was my solution.
I have the same problem as you but I'm on windows 10 with my htc one v.
Device would show up as unknown device.
Downloaded HTC drivers from here.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535581
I'm on Windows 10 64 bit, so I downloaded the Windows 7 64 bit drivers.
Computer recognized it as an android device and showed up as My HTC, but it still said something was wrong with the device.
Then I applied a registry file from here.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-s/general/guide-fix-fastboot-windows-8-1-t2858337/
Once I applied this, it solved the issue.
Hope this helps. I made an account just to share this.

Dear all,
Please Help me. My One plus one is on CM12 official rom (rooted). Problem is when I connect my phone to computer and use ADB it is detected (adb devices: number & devices detected) but when in fastboot (fastboot devices : nothing is detected) I check in my device manager (yellow triangle on android ) My problem is why CAN it be detected when my phone is on but NOT during fastboot.
Necessary checks done : USB debugging, Universal driver, SDK installed, USB driver reinstalled again, tried changing usb ports on computer, tried on 2 laptops)
I am helpless, tried checking on forums can not find the answer.

Tried adb reboot bootloader then phone boots into fastboot mode but from here..
is total no connection. Tried checking fastboot devices (nothing), fastboot reboot (waiting)
then i tried as u said unplug & plug in (not recognize) from here adb cannot be written anymore. (no more commands can be typed). Tried others like down loading Pdanet ,force install driver..Nothing works. Thinking ,did I corupt the bootloader while I was rooting it last time.?
I think if something was wrong with bootloader you could not either boot .
Do you use antivirus to pc?
Try without antivirus
What happening the false is from computer
Mine is reverse issue. When in fastboot mode, pc recognizes OPO, but when OPO is normally connected to pc, adb is not working. Its charging and can transfer data through USB, but OPO is not recognized through adb commands. Device Manager too recognizes my OPO only when it is in fastboot mode and not when normally connected via USB for data transfer.
I have a software, through which I can REVERSE TETHER my PC's internet to my mobile via USB. Because my OPO is not recognized via USB in normal mode, I can't do that. Any idea, what's wrong with my OPO.
(I have installed Android SDK and google usb drivers, for my OPO to work in fastboot. I have rooted. My pc runs on win7)

Your phone is configured to connect to phone via USB in Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) mode what is for transfering files.
As already said you have to configure phone that it connects via USB in Android Debug Bridge (ADB) mode.
IDK how you can achieve this because I don't have a phone as yours.

Thanks, My device is not found in platform tools using the adb devices command, but it's on OEM unlock and USB Debugging is on. I added the phone in the tiltle, hope someone had an solution for my problem. Don't understand why it's not working. When I connect phone without the USB debugging it get's recognised, but with debugging mode on, nothing to find

Enabling OEM Unlock and/or USB Debugging simply sets an allowance flag, nothing else. It doesn't configure phone's USB mode.
I tried it on the laptop from work and there the phone is recognized in adb. But sadly I don't have administrator rights on that laptop to open Smalipatcher. Is there an alternative or work around available?
