Ok guys, I tried searching but couldn't find an answer.
I'm running Windows 7 x64. I previously have a non-rooted, 1.5 Droid Eris. I also had HTC Sync installed and working properly, and was able to sync my contacts and calender back and fourth.
I followed the guide HERE, with two exceptions;
1.) I already had a working USB driver for my phone, so even when I downloaded the Android SDK and the USB v3 drivers, there was no need to install them to gain root and upgrade to 2.1 - as proven by my currently upgraded Eris.
2.) In order to install the Recovery, I had to do the following from Command (while the phone was connected via USB w/ USB Debugging enabled:
With phone powered on
Code:
adb shell reboot bootloader
Once the phone gets into hboot and says "recovery usb" type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
with recovery.img in the current folder you are in, and fastboot in your path.

Click to collapse
That said, I've got my Eris rooted and upgraded to 2.1 (I know, I already said this.. just refreshing you..), but I can't connect to HTC Sync anymore.
In device manager, my phone is recognized as "My HTC" under "Android Devices", as it always has. It's the same with or without USB Debugging enabled.
Am I missing something, or is this simply not possible at this time?
EDIT: I figured it out. Since nobody replied, I'll assume you guys don't need the fix.. if anyone does, feel free to PM me

Hey XDA I got my DNA the day it was released and love it. I am a creature of habit though so i want to root it like my past dinc2. I am running into a problem though. the command
Code:
adb devices
doesn't return my device. when i type in
Code:
fastboot devices
my phones serial number comes up, like it should. Fastboot works but ADB doesn't. I am trying to do JCase's Bootloader Exploit. I have the drivers installed, environment variable path set to my adb/fastboot location, and java sdk and android sdk all installed. I know ADB doesnt recognize it in the fastboot menu, just the beginning menu so that's what I'm doing. How can i get ADB to recognize my device like fastboot does.
Here's what I'm getting:
Code:
C:\And-sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
C:\And-sdk\platform-tools>fastboot devices
FA2BBS500706 fastboot
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Um, do you have usb debugging enabled.

having the same issue. I can issue commands through fastboot and ADB commands when I'm in recovery but not when my phone is fully booted.
Try going into slept dev. settings turning adb debugging off then back on

Not sure what "slept dev. settings" is (typo maybe??). I have on/off'd dev settings and check/unchecked usb debugging a alot of times to no success.
Here's the cure all....I'm assuming you have the lastest SDK and have yor ADB folder set to something simple like C:\ADB and I'm also assuming you are running Windows
I had the same issue ....initially I had no issue in ADB and I was able to do the CIG change and unlock on HTC Dev..but later on I installed HTC sync drivers and from then on no matter what I did only fastboot commands worked in recovery...ADB did not in recovery or when my phone was running normal.
So...uninstall all htc SYnc and driverin programs/features on oyur laptop...reboot your laptop. on the laptop download and instal PDANet 3.50 (its free). it will prompt you to connect your phone and will install a proper driver (and also throw the pda net 3.50 program on your phone). Once you have successfully installed it, ADB should work perfectly for you.

yeah, whatever Windows or other HTC driver you have that install for thephone is still on the laptop and that will conflict when installing.
You get PDANet to install successfully your ADB will come back.
In your programs and features make sure HTC SYnc AND HTC Drivers are unisntalled.
No idea if Windows 8 is more of a pain..I'm still on 7
before anything else, make sure your sdk is updated to an ics or later level
i just update the sdk whenever google pushes an update
I'm on 7 as well. How can I uninstall the drivers for good, like to the point where its like the first time I'm connecting my phone to pc again

With your phone not attached..
Control Panel- Programs Features...when I had HTC Sync installed I had to uninstall that AND the program entry for HTC Drivers as well.
You can then also use USBDeview..sort/toggle by Last Plug/Unplug and uninstall any Android drivers you see which could be conflicting.
Reboot, Install PDA Net and attach the phone when prompted. Also accept the driver even though you get the warning that it isn;t digitally signed from JuneFabrics.
This didn't work I'm still getting error 103 Android Device not found
Update:
I got Pdanet installed via putting the phone into fastboot mode and installing Pdanet on the computer.
I did notice that when im in fastboot my Android adb interface (in device manager) popped up but when I left fastboot mode and went to the bootloader my Android adb interface went away, this may be my issue with adb devices not working i think...
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
i am currently having this same issue. i did as you did and went to usbfastboot loader and tried installing pda net. i also saw the same adb device pop up but my install is stuck at installing pdanet phone and not moving. did you leave it in fastboot mode or did you reboot back?
For whatever reason, when I'm trying to get my Token ID, I get as far as entering fastboot, and when trying to get the second command prompt to retrieve my token, it just gets stuck at "Waiting for Device".
I've made sure I'm using a USB 2.0 port ON THE BACKSIDE of my PC (I've tried 3.0, and front ports as well, all yield the same results)
USB debugging IS ENABLED.
I've tried with, and without fastboot disabled.
I've tried uninstalling ALL android related drivers on my PC, and re installing ONLY the HTC ones (I have a rooted nexus 7 2013 as well)
nothing seems to make a difference, everything works great right up until my device reboots into fastboot, then it becomes unrecognisable.
At the same time, windows shows a failed driver installation ONLY AFTER I unplug the device, and it shows it trying to install "HTC MTP DEVICE".
I've run out of ideas for a way to fix this by now, anyone have any other suggestions?
Try getting your token without the toolkit using fastboot. There's instructions on the HTC dev site
I attempted that as well, all it did was make me manually preform the same commands the toolkit did on it's own.
No luck with that either.
Edit: THANK GOD I FINALLY GOT IT WORKING!!!!!
When my phone boots into bootloade,r it runs on an "Android 1.0" driver. I went into my device manager, and updated that "Android 1.0 device" with the drivers located here, and everything magically connected, and I can now get my token ID!!!
suggests tractor
Also, if you have any more problems with it not showing up under devices try to unplug/plugin your USB cable. I have weird driver problems on Windows sometimes.
So I have run into a problem with my HTC Evo 4G LTE. I rooted a while back but I decided that I didn't really like the roms that would actually work, and so I tried doing an RUU to get back to stock. What ended up happening was that my phone is now S-ON but it says Unlocked and Tampered. but the custom recovery is still there so I can actually do updates to my phone. I have tried to re-root so I can try the RUU again but for some reason I can't get my phone to be recognized by fastboot or the adb. I don't know if its because I have incorrect drivers or what the issue is. Whenever I try to open ADB it just runs through a block of text and closes instantly, same for fastboot. I don't know anymore which instructions or methods to follow since I don't know what exactly the problem is. I've tried looking on here for issues like mine but I can't seem to figure it out. I just want to get my phone as close to stock as possible but I am seriously stuck right now and I need serious help. I would really appreciate it.

I've done that but I don't know what exactly it is I'm supposed to do once I do that. Like how do I get back to fully stock? Or should I be trying to re-root to RUU again? Moonshine doesn't recognize my device in fastboot usb, it says something like usb device not recognized because of a malfunction. I'm sorry for being clueless but I'm at a loss at what to do.

Uninstall everything HTC from your PC then reboot
Unplug your phone then install the latest drivers from HERE the ones dated 6/6/13
Plug phone in and let the drivers install
They might install while in bootloader and custom recovery also
then give moonshine another try
Should I only install the drivers or install HTC Sync as well?

So I uninstalled all the drivers and everything HTC and restarted. I then tried to install that driver from your link. It said the driver wasn't supported by my operating system which is Windows 8 64 bit and then finished installing. When I plugged in my phone it didn't seem like anything installed. The EVO is recognized by computer as a media device I guess. I switched the usb mode to mount as disk drive and it seemed to install a driver. Then I ran moonshine again but when it went into the bootloader, again it said the USB device was not recognized.

Hmmm not really sure then I have been away from the Evo for a while
Try this
On your PC go to device manager and find your phone, right click and select properties
Select the driver tab
Select update driver
Select browse my comp
Let me pick
Look for ADB USB device or similar should be one of the first couple choices
Select MyHTC install and you should be good

Uninstall everything HTC (again). Download and install HTC Sync Manager. Once install is complete, uninstall only HTC Sync Manager. The latest HTC Drivers will remain installed. Put your device into fastboot mode, and connect to the PC. Drivers should install, and the bootloader should go from saying FASTBOOT to FASTBOOT USB.

I just tried this, plugged it in and it still says the message of USB device not recognized. I'm really not understanding what happened as to why the fastboot is just not recognizing the drivers. I also noticed the word fastboot in red changes to fastboot usb when I move the selection down from bootloader to any of the other options. Is it supposed to do that?

I think your issue may be with your computer. Do you have another computer you could try this on? I personally have never used windows 8, but it is always something that could be an issue.

Yes, when you're connected to your computer via fastboot it will say "Fastboot USB". Don't worry about the message on your computer-I get them all the time and I can still run commands via ADB & fastboot without any problems.

But in Moonshine when it loads fastboot it doesn't work, it just times out. It finds the device and restarts it, but after it gets into the bootloader it fails. That is what I'm trying to figure out.
When you connect in fastboot USB mode, what happens when you run the command "fastboot devices" (without quotations)?
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G LTE
Well being that I can't open fastboot like normal because it just flashes and closes, I open a command window inside my platform-tools folder. Then I do the command fastboot shell and it says <waiting for device> and nothing happens. If i open the window and type adb devices it shows my phone's serial number, but fastboot devices or fastboot shell, nothing happens
Hi im fairly newthis to all this so please be patient. I have Htc 4g amaze Tmous rooted s-on unlocked. I flashed a custom rom which is stock debloated. But, the wifi and bluetooth do not work. I want to revert back to stock by using the same method which is the Htc toolkit. But, when i restart in bootloader mode the phone is no longer recognized by my laptop running win 8.1. I have been searching for a week now and have tried everything from deleting drivers, reinstalling, downloading htc sync and removing the software but leaving drivers,, different USB ports 2.0 & 3.0, nothing works. When its in bootloader about 5 seconds later my computer says USB device not recognized.
Please help.

You're gonna have to be a bit more specific with how you're trying to read the device:
a) When you're in bootloader, and you have the phone plugged in, does it read HBOOT USB, or FASTBOOT USB?
i) If yes: Then just run the program. It will still recognize the system even if Windows doesn't show it. Fire off a CMD command or simply click "reboot" on the toolkit and see if the phone responds.
ii) If no: Use another cable, and make sure you're securely connected. Generic micro USB cables tend to be a bit loose even when connected, so make sure the cable itself is not "ajar" in the port
Once you're in bootloader mode, post what it says here.

Hi and thanks for the reply. Im using the OEM htc cable and everything else reads just fine. I'm able to read the sd card and send some commands through the toolkit. For example i can click the "boot into bootloader" command and it works fine. The problem is once it is in bootloader the command prompt window just says waiting for device and the phone says fastboot. I am able to reboot the phone back into android using the vol keys and the power button. Im trying to relock the bootloader using toolkit but on the second window (first being putting it bootloader) it won't read the phone following the computers message saying usb device not recognized. Thanks again for the help.

You may have to try it manually. Download a fresh copy of the Android SDK tools
and put the "Platform-Tools" folder under your C:\
Fire up Command Prompt, change directory to that platform-tools folder.
Then type in "fastboot oem lock" (without the quotations).
Your phone will reboot and upon the bootloader, it should say **RELOCKED** at the top.
If you're still having issues, I would suggest loading up on another computer, or if that isn't possible, download Ubuntu and burn it as a LiveCD and see if your phone will be recognized (properly) through Linux. Sounds like the communication protocols for your phone are fuxed. As for uninstalling and reinstalling drivers like that, you may have to use regedit to completely remove trace portions of those previous installs.
It's a driver issue, uninstall and reinstall the drivers.
Alright so I'm no stranger to flashing ROMS and whatnot, but today I slipped up and deleted everything on my internal storage, including my NANDROID backup. I still have access to my recovery (CWM touch v6.0.4.5). So I thought "no problem, I"ll just ADB sideload". Well here we are.
Basically I can't get my ****ing phone to communicate with my computer. I installed every damn thing I could think of to get my device to show up after typing "adb devices". I tried the universal toolkit, but as expected it didn't work very well. I tried it on my laptop and desktop, through USB 2.0 and 3.0. I installed the generic Android USB ADB driver, I installed HTC sync for DNA drivers, I installed a standalone version of the DNA driver, and no dice. Can't even get fastboot to communicate. Even though my phone says fastboot USB my computer won't recognize it.
This is seriously ****ing pissing me off, because it should be a simple fix. Anybody have words of wisdom to help me out?
Thanks in advance.

When your in hboot/fastboot and connected to your computer does it say fastboot usb? If it does when you type in fastboot devices is it recognizing your device at all? Should bring up serial number. Are you on Windows xp/7/8 or 8.1?

Which version of the universal ADB drivers did you use, because I just did this to my phone about a month ago and had the same issue? Once I installed the universal generic driver everything communicated and worked properly.
Try installing PDAnet it blanket installs a bunch of drivers that got me out of a similar spot!
