Uninstall HTC Sync and then go download the newest version of HTC Sync from the HTC website. It includes all the Rezound drivers.

i wanna get s-off and root on my wife's phone using the revolutionary method so she doesn't lose any data, problem is that I can't get the HTCDriver3.0.0.007 on my windows 7 machine to open up, i get a windows popup that asks is it ok to run this file, i hit 'ok', then that's it, setup never starts. so when i try to run revolutionary, i get stuck at the 'zerging root' step. apparently it won't get past that step until after i get that htcdriver to install.
i've made sure the phone was in usb debugging, updated windows, tried to download that same exe from other sites, and still nothin.
anybody have an idea of what to do
There's no point bothering to run Revolutionary until you get the driver installed....
Are you logged in with admin privileges on Windows ? Is a User Access Control window popping up that you don't see and aren't responding to ?
You could use HTC sync to get the drivers that's what u did...
My name is Revos I'm a recovering flashaholic running Liquid Gingerbread 3.0
the only window i get is the one asking if i'm sure i wanna run the file, i hit yes and nothin else happens. i'm the admin, i even ran hit 'run as admin' and it still nothing happened. i've tried other exe files that i have on my computer to see if they would run and they ran. it's just this one
i thought htc sync had to be disabled in order to use revo though
Sync does have to be disabled, but I think what Revos means is install the sync and connect your phone. It should at that point automatically install the htc driver for your specific device. Then remove the HTC Sync and leave the driver.

Don't the instructions at revolutionary.io say exactly that ?
how could i uninstall sync and not uninstall the driver with it
The installer from HTC includes multiple pieces that show up individually in Add/Remove Programs. Easiest thing is to try it...

i FINALLY got it! i reinstalled htc sync, it was over 100 mb. then deleted it. after that, i plugged the phone in and mounted it as a disk drive, so it installed whatever drivers it needed. then mounted it as htc sync; windows installed more drivers. then i set it to charge only, enabled usb debugging and ran revolution again, and it finally worked. she's rooted!! thanks!!!
Same thing was happening to me when I was tryin to root my mom's Thunderbolt. Couldn't get past the "Zerging Root..."
So contrary to what all the guides say, I installed HTC Sync, it installed all it's pre-requisites during the install, UPDATED HTC Sync to latest version, it updated all the pre-reqs again, mounted phone to computer as a disk drive, waited for drivers to install, mounted phone to HTC Sync, waited for all drivers to install, confirmed that HTC Sync was communicating the phone, set phone as Charge Only, waited for drivers to install, unistalled HTC Sync, ran Revolutionary, waited a minute, it FINALLY got past Zerging Root!
Hope this helps anyone else who has been tearing their hair out over this issue...
Alternate solution for rooting with latest ota...if you have locked bootloader
For those of you that have endured the frustration of updating to the latest software version (2.11.605.9) There is hope! Apparently with this software version, the bootloader is locked. And for some reason this version would not allow the "Revolutionary" rooting method to work. (I would imagine everyone with this problem had issues with not being able to get past Zerg Root. At least that was the problem I had)
Anyways, I got my phone rooted....heres how.
Per the instructions for using Revolutionary, install the driver as stated on their website. (Make sure HTC Sync is not installed on your computer)
Download Mecha_2.11.605.3.zip (I'm a newbie here so I cant post links, but I found it through Android Police but if u google it its easy to find, its hosted on multi upload) rename the zip file as PG05IMG and put on the root of your SD card (as you would in other rooting methods) and run the bootloader.
Once its booted and all that fun waiting is over and your TB powers back up, make sure to turn off all wireless connections to make sure OTA doesnt try to upgrade you. (I turned on airplane mode as soon as I could)
From there run Revolutionary as instructed from their website. Worked like a charm for me, and hope it does for all of you with this same problem.
I TAKE ABSOLUTELY NO CREDIT FOR THIS SOLUTION. Thank you for all you developers out there that make our phones able to be so much cooler and more enjoyable. I'm just glad I could help in this marginal way, and hope that someone will find it usefull. SPREAD THE WORD IF YOU KNOW OF ANYONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM
Thunderbolt Tool
I was able to S-OFF and ROOT my Thunderbolt by using the Thunderbolt Tool located at this link... rootzwiki.com/topic/27310-all-in-one-the-htc-thunderbolt-tool
This app does it all for you, just follow the instructions.
This is the 3rd time i have tried S-off my Evo V. To be honest, idk why i am bothering with it because the radio issue is annoying but it fixes itself within a minute or two.
But i'm unlocked via HTC dev, i'm rooted and i am using JMZstock odex rom and i am following the directions here(at least i think i am)
Unlimited.IO
I do step 10 and everything is there.
I run controlbear...it does it's thing...after it finds the fourth file, it reboots the phone and then loads for 45 seconds
and then it keeps saying
Hmm, still no device
Open device manager and check adb and/or fastboot drivers!!
I can't get past this.
I am using a Windows 7 laptop....i read somewhere to try a different USB port and i have 3 and i've tried all 3 but i have no clue what to do.
Do you have USB debugging enabled in settings? Also if you have HTC sync installed on your PC uninstall it. Also iTunes if it is on there. These programs will interfere with the wire trick process. Make sure your stock ROM with superuser too.

Yeah i had the usb debugging enable and i uninstalled HTC Sync and for good measure i also got rid of Motodrive/Moto cast and Samsung Kies from when i had my razr and gs3.
I have no clue what is going on though and why i get stuck after it finds the 4th device.
There is a specific version of controlbear for Evo V (VM), use that.
Also, you need an RUU for your device in order to S-OFF.
None of the other ROMs will work for Evo V.
The driver install fails on the HTC MTP driver install...I cannot get by this. I am running Windows 7 64 bit...anyone else having this issue?
OMG I fought with that for HOURS. I never did get them to work. I installed htc sync, htc sync manager, and I installed the all in one kit drivers.. Nothing. Windows 7 64 bit too.
I assume you are trying to unlock the bootloader and root?
Do both things manually using fast boot commands and recovery.
Tl;dr you can root without MTP drivers

exactly like me, I have been fighting with this for two days now. Reinstalling htc sync, htc sync manager, cleaning out existing drivers reinstalling again. Removing everything that could be associated with htc at all, reinstalling android sdk etc etc.
Nothing makes my phone recogniced by ´adb devices´not even htc sync software recognice it.
Every time I plug it in, the device is recogniced and installed and it says under Portable Devices in the device manager ´HTC One X+´
Do you get the Choose type of connection screen on your phone when connecting it? Because I dont, is just says connected in debug mode, even if debug development tools is turned of and debug of. But it still doesnt show up in adb.

No, not on this phone.. I think it has to do with the MTP crap. You can read an informative post by Lloir in the dev section to find out more.

hmm.
went back to the store and made them try connecting the phone to one of their laptops, if course everything worked perfectly there
So now im back trying to figure out what to do. Going to find the post you mention and see if I get any hints there.
Did you notice my post above where you I claimed you can root and unlock without the drivers?
What do you need to do that you need them?
Hi,
I am reading this, it is exactly what I recognize with my new One X+ too.
BUT I am not wanting to root or something. I'd like the Navigon software to recognize my device and download the maps like it did on my Desire HD.
Any more hints to how I can get this running ?
regards,
Ruud
Basically I have no rom on my phone, I have tried sideloading and everything and it could not work. However, I noticed under devices that instead of saying HTC it says android phone and I am unable to access it. I have tried going into properties, however it refuses to let me uninstall or or update drivers. Does anyone know anyway for my phone to recognize it as a HTC and not just an android phone? Maybe then I can bump a rom or sideload it onto my phone. Also when I sideload it shows HTC XXXXXXXXXX when i typ in cmd adb devices. In CWM it says sideload started. When I go to adb sideload derp.zip it gives me a massive wall of text and my phone doesn't show any files being transferred and says its still waiting for them to start transfer.
Any ideas?
Worst case scenario you think I could take it to T-Mobile and ask them to do a factory reset on it?

That used to happen to me with another phone I had and what I would do to solve it was uninstall the "android phone" driver (with the device connected at all times), then scan for hardware changes and it would reinstall the driver correctly.
I haven't experienced this issue with this phone but worked in the past with other HTC phones, hope it helps

Also, you may need to regedit uninstall. Search and delete all "android" references in your registry. Reboot. Install generic android drivers.
But definitely try the simpler method first!
Tried both of the solutions and neither one worked I am at my wit's end lol
Anythign else I can try?

Assume you've also tried installing generic HTC drivers?
So I'm troubleshooting an issue I'm having with a nonbooting Rezound. Long story short, the battery ran down while in recovery (Philz Touch) and now it won't boot into ROM, bootloader, or recovery. I can't get the charging light to come on for more than a few medium flashes and one long flash when plugged in (wall, usb, 24+ hours). I can't even get it recognized on usb with the battery pulled and the "adb devices" command. I plug it in and I hear the usb connection sound but my computer shows an error for ADR6425lwv in device manager and tells me the driver isn't installed/needed which I suspect is the problem.
I recently uninstalled all things HTC to S-off my new One M8 (per firewater instructions) and now that I'm having these problems with drivers I want to reinstall HTC Sync for the drivers. However, I see that the Rezound is conspicuously missing from the list of supported devices on the HTC Sync website. Does anyone have an older installer or know of another way to ensure I actually have the necessary drivers for the Rezound? Win7 x64. Thanks in advance.
If you're rezound died in CWM (pretty much philz) you might need to follow this guide.. See if it works.. Worth a shot I guess :/ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27428049

Thanks for the response. I get the short blinks followed by one long one just like this which I assume tells me my phone is ready to receive adb commands. However, as I said earlier, adb returns nothing with the "adb devices" command. Therefore I can't send reboot or flash commands. It's looking more and more like a basic driver issue to me. I just can't find the driver and it looks like HTC sync doesn't contain it anymore. Could someone at least give me the driver version from device manager to help me with Google search terms?
http://sleezers.blogspot.com/2012/01/download-htc-rezound-driver-and-pc-sync.html?m=1 here's what I used. Worked perfect for me... Also with the phone is off. You won't get any thing back with your trying adb. I'm pretty sure you only get it in recovery or when the phone is in USB debugging mode. Or that's the only time I've gotten it to work

Hey nice find although it turns out I didn't need it. I had an Unbuntu Live CD booted on my laptop for a completely unrelated project and all of the sudden my phone booted up. It was still connected to the computer but only because I had forgotten about it. I don't even know what made it turn on, I wasn't touching it and didn't have adb installed since it was only a live CD. Anyway, it booted up and I let it sit and charge for an our or so. When I was done with Unbuntu, I rebooted into Windows, plugged the phone in and bingo, it found/installed the drivers. I can explain neither my initial problem nor the random unprompted solution. I'm sure glad it's up and running again though. Thanks again for the link.
:good: whatever makes it work man
