Windows 8 HTC drivers ADB

I have scoured the internet and xda and have not found a solution. I am trying to unlock my bootloader, so I can install ROMs and whatnot, on my HTC One S. However, the device is not recognized by adb, even though the normal drivers are installed through HTC sync. I cannot install any additional driver through any other way.
Basically, I just need to know if anyone has a solution to getting the HTC One S to recognize with adb on Windows 8, or any alternate way to get a token.
I have done this many times before on windows 7, and even used adb for other devices on Windows 8, but cannot get the One S to read.
..and unfortunately my Windows 7 machine is in need of repair.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Adb still worked after I went from 7 to 8. Uninstall drivers and install android sdk which has required drivers. I've never used HTC sync due to its suckness. You can also google the download for just the drivers without any extra software. There are multiple devices that have adb drivers for download here on xda aswell.
Good hunting
But as far as driver compatibility nothing has changed since the update

the drivers wont work until htc/Microsoft updates them. doesn't work on my windows 8 pro, I had to installed a virtual machine to get it to work with windows 7.

Definitely nofun that the htc drivers seem to be the big issues. Whendid not have trouble with the kindle orsamsung. Did update as much through the sdk, and tried manually installing the win 7 drivers, and more andno luck. So guess Ill be waiting.

Works for me on windows 8 pro....don't know what you are talking about

Thats good to hear that there is a way to get it working. What drivers did you install?

Are you looking for a driver that will work for when you are in bootloader? I used a Samsung driver and it worked fine.

Did this allow detect in adb? not just for windows recognizing the device?

Ive come to find that adb will recognize the device, but not in fastboot mode. Which is the killer, cause thats the only mode I really need it to be recognized in.

I use both ADB and Fastboot on my W8, and never had a problem. Worst case scenario, if you install the drivers but you still have an exclamation mark next to the device in device manager, try and install the Android USB drivers on a W7 machine and copy the files on your W8. Then go to device manager and update the driver, and point to the folder you just copied. This should do.

I've found in some pages that HTC has already uploaded their HTC Sync and that is now compatible with Windows 8. However, still not working for me in 8 Pro.

I've uploaded from W7 to W8 pro and my now I'm not able to find a driver that fits my computer. It's a very strange situation.

I have tried pretty much everything lol, its not worth it if you are installing a RUU then windows 8 suddenly stopped detecting your phone then you have a brick. I would just wait till htc releases drivers for windows 8. or installed windows 7 through VMware, like I did.

Just have the device for 1 day and had some issues. Is there any working solution for this? I've spend some time searching and reading, I tried alot of drivers (HTC, from android-sdk and so on)...with all the same issue. Windows 8 recognizes the device as My HTC BUT...adb doesn't. When issuing "adb devices" command, returned list is blank.
Finally I've installed recovery and unlocked on a Windows 7 machine but I don't want to do that each time I flash a ROM (and I flash alot).
Also short question... I didn't saw anywhere clearly stated but from what I've read, I understood there's no S-Off for One S right? I'm comming from Desire S and everything there was flawless.

It is working on my Windows 8 Pro without an issue. I installed the driver which comes together with the android sdk.
1. Open device manager
2. Select the android device with yellow sign
3. right click and select "Update Driver Software ..."
4. select browse my computer for driver software
5. select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
6. select have disc and browse for the "android_winusb.inf" in the android sdk folder
7. select Android ADB Interface and press next
8. select yes, ...
-> adb driver is installed and device should now work with adb.

can you mention the folder's path?

I'm having same issue but on Win7 also tried many installs and uninstall of HTC drivers, still not recognized plus have my own thread which 2 members tried all they know also tried on my Dad's Vista with a no go? I found my computer recognized my device if u do this, power down ur device than restart ur computer while booting up plug in ur device and sometimes it recognizes it but not always staying connected

I have Windows 8 Pro Media Center, install drive from htc sync manager from htc site, flashing fastboot, oem lock, etc seem to work in cmd. But odd was if i do adb devices, it just say something like "list device" i don't see my device number.. or i should use fastboot devices instead

I cant too. Probably there are no drivers for windows 8.

I have it installed, you just have to install it (not with windows's auto update, but with the google USB driver, and replacing its android_winusb.inf with the Sony one, and replacing a 64bit line in the inf)with no driver signature enforcement.So even if you do manage to get the driver, you still need to disable driver signature enforcement.

can you give me the tutorial step by step? i dont understand on what you said up there

Just install the androidvsdk nd pc companion afterwards..drivers will be detected after reboot

Install sony companion for some drivers.Then, download Android SDK, extract it, run SDK Manager(you need to have java installed, so download that)Run SDK manager afterwards, scroll to the bottom, tick google usb driver, accept agreement, it will install.Download sony's fastboot driver(google it), follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1554805, replace it with the google usb driver found in SDK folder/extras/google/usb_driver/, and manually install the driver via device manager.After this, DISABLE DRIVER SIGNATURE ENFORCEMENT.You can find this option at the bottom of this post in a pic.(after you pick the option, it's the bottom most one, click it, pick Troubleshoot>Advanced Options>Windows Start Up, and click on the restart icon.It will reboot(or not, I don't remember and transfer you to a menu with options,Press F7 to disable the driver enforcement,then install the driver manually with device manager. Don't go with picking the folder for the drivers, choose the option let me pick from a list of devices on my computer, then go to all devices,press have disk in the bottom right corner, browse to the folder where android_winusb.inf you just replaced and edited is, select bootloader interface, and you're good to go.
EDIT: forgot to post the pic, lol:

thank you steam now i able to unlock my bootloader, anyway if i can unlock it, can i relock it?

Yeah you can, the relock file was around here, or the U forum.

[SOLVED]Xperia L Drivers And ADB Problems

Hi there
I have seen some posts where users are having difficulty connecting Xperia L to their PC or ADB. Therefore, I am writing this guide to help you all.
The guide was prepared using Windows 7 Ultimate but should work with Windows XP and Windows 8.
Firstly, Sony uses a different driver for their Xperia devices and therefore, sometimes you are unable to install drivers for your devices especially for ADB commands.
IF YOU ARE LUCKY
There are few ways to get around to install drivers for your device. The most convenient and easy is you plug in your device and wait for automatic detection of your device. Make sure you have USB connected as MTP in MY XPERIA in SETTINGS of your phone. The device drivers would be automatically installed by Windows update.
METHOD
If suppose you can not install your drivers, connect your xperia and then on your PC, go to My computer > Properties>Device Manager.
You should see an undetected hardware with a yellow exclamation mark over it. Open it and click on update my drivers. Then choose GOOGLE DRIVERS by choosing hard-drive. This should install the drivers for you. If this doesnot work. Try the attachment with the post where the drivers are modified to work with Sony Xperia Devices.
Follow the same steps but this time choose the attachment folder to search for drivers. It might say, the drivers are not verified. Just Ignore it and carry on installing them. You will need to unzip these files.
IF suppose you do not see any exclamation mark while you connect your xperia. Just go to control panel and add new hardware. Select, I will choose my device and then install from hard-disk. Select the folder where you have unzipped the files and you are good to go. The name of new hardware is not important as windows will read the drivers files and install drivers for Xperia.
This will install all drivers for your device. If there are two or more drivers while installing them. Redo the steps and install all of them individually.
Suppose your ADB still doesnot work, then
FOR ADB DRIVERS :
Download the ADB Universal Drivers and connect your device. Then hit install. The ADB drivers will be automatically detected and installed.
Further, if these tricks fail, you can delete the unknown driver from your control panel and then try finding it again by using refresh button(scan for new hardware changes) in device manager.
Another trick is to click on unknown drivers and delete them. Connect your phone and restart your phone. Then scan for new hardware in device manager. The drivers should be installed for your device.
If still there are some problems, I will try to help you out.

UPDATE :
Use flashtool drivers to install adb/fastboot/flashboot drivers. This is the most simplest and easiest method I have come across lately.
Simply download flashtool
http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
Go to folder where you have downloaded it. Usually C:/flashtool/drivers.
Select the drivers for your particular device. I use universal for all three types of drivers. It is helpful to boot into fastboot/Flashtool before installing the drivers but not necessarily.
Good Luck

Did you try the attached drivers ?
I am just wondering you might hadnot turned USB debugging or disabled MTP mode or something you might have done to your kernel/ROM that might have changed the environment of your phone which factory reset reverted back. These drivers are NOT the drivers for connecting your device to your PC. These are used when you are unlocking your bootloader or working with ADB/fastboot commands.
Thanks for your contribution about how it worked for you and it might help others who might have a problem!

I had tried every possible driver haha! Also had everything like USB Debugging etc turned ON, I guess it might have been some app I had installed. Anyways now I have rooted it successfully.
Thanks a lot for your help.

I am still having this problem for days now. still no connection to pc/flashtool whenever i try to reboot into flashmode/flashboot. i've been google'ing around. and i've tried this method but it's seems doesnt work. i've already got tons of these unknown devices, and the driver doesnt work(or maybe im too noobish to install them).please help

For a second when I looked at your images, I was just baffled. THOSE MANY UNKNOWN DEVICES! That can't be right you know.
There must be only ONE unknown device that ought to be installed as mentioned above in my post.
Do you see these devices when you connect your phone to your PC or those unknown devices are already there?
Have you tried windows update to fix it?
Tell me more about why you see so many devices.
If suppose, they are already there, just see which device comes up when you connect your phone and try installing drivers for that particular device.
Also, i suggest just go for add a new device and then select hard disk and then install drivers which are attached. I hope that fixes your problem.
REMEMBER your device must be connected when you are trying to install the drivers

right.i'm gonna give it a try,wish me luck. thanks!

I still need your help!!
I could not install or might be dont know how to install the attached xperia drivers which are in .dll files. Can u explain in detail how can I install it. I've lost root access after upgrade to 4.2.2 . I do really need your help to get back root access and install a valid driver for my device. From C2104

just go to device manager, connect phone and find ur not recognized device; then right click on it and press update/install drivers. From the window that will appear choose socond option (it should be something like manualy find drivers or something like that), then navigate to that downloaded folder. This way it should install them
But XL doesnt need any external drivers. If u install fasboot an flashmode drivers from flashtool folder they should work; they are working for me and for anyone i know. U may also install SEUS and then connect phone. This way u dont need that drivers, but ofc what i have mentioned earlier should work.

Hi
well first thing you need to understand is there are three drivers you need to install to make everything work including fastboot , flashboot, and Xperia L storage and SD card.
To install each type of drivers, you must have the phone in that particular state. To install normal drivers (for mass storage and PC companion), if suppose not detected automatically, you need to turn on your phone and then unlock it. Then see if drivers are found or not!
If the windows give you the error like undetectable device attached, go to my computers and then properties and the device manager and look for any device with an exclamation mark (yellow).
click on it and then select update drivers and use drivers that have been attached in the first post. (Remember to extract the attachment in a folder)
Then click on select drivers from hard drive (click manual installation of drivers )
and locate the folder where you have extracted drivers. This will install drivers!
if you want drivers for flashmode/fastboot, turn off phone and boot into flashmode and then install drivers as I mentioned above.
I'm quite certain they wouldn't trouble you at all. If you still need help, do not hesitate to ask !
Good luck
P.S: You will need to enable developers option and select USB debugging to root your device. I hope you are doing that right !

you must boot your phone in fast boot mode. turn off your phone and hold down volume down when you connect it to the PC!
Use flashtool to flash ftf file. you'll need to place ftf file in C:/flashtool/firmwares
then select the right file for xperia L and just flash ftf.
in flash tool , select flash n then fastboot and then I'll ask you to put your phone in fast boot (use method mentioned above)
good luck !

I have tried all your methods
but I keep getting this error message "An error occurred during the installation of the device"

Help with drivers for Xperia Z3 for flashtool

I want to flash my xperia Z3 (Android 4.4.4) kernel from 23.0.1.A.1.49 to 23.0.A.2.93, but I have problems getting the drivers, I can't get the drivers directly from flashtool because error happens, so I tried to download the drivers from Sony's website, but that dont worked neither (is the folder called "Xperia™ Z3" that I put in Flashtool > drivers)

c. Then click on the Recovery option on the left hand side.
d. Once selected, you will see an advanced startup section appear on the right hand side. You will need to click on the “Restart now” button.
e. Once your Computer has rebooted you will need to choose the Troubleshoot option.
f. Then head into Advanced options.
g. Then Startup Settings.
h. Since we are modifying boot time configuration settings, you will need to restart your computer one last time.
I. Here you will be given a list of startup settings that you can change. The one we are looking for is “Disable driver signature enforcement”. To choose the setting, you will need to press the F7 key.
