[Q] <Waiting for device> issues - HTC One X+

I'm attempting to root my AT&T HOX+. I have successfully unlocked the bootloader, and am trying to flash a recovery ROM. The program continues to hang at the <waiting for device> prompt. I have searched and the only solution people had was to confirm that USB debugging mode is enabled, I have checked and it is. Is there some other reason this may be happening?
Attached is the screenshot of my developer options to confirm that I'm not crazy.

Use another USB port. Make sure you don't use a USB 3.0 port as well

I have tried four different ports now, all USB 2.0, and the program still hangs at <waiting for device>. Just to confirm, the phone should be turned on when I run the flash, because I can't figure out how to boot it into charge-only mode.

Make sure you don't have HTC sync running.

The phone must be fully turned on and you have access to the operating system.

[Q] Rooting help

I bought my One with bootloader unlocked but the guy who sold me the phone unrooted the phone before shipping and i've tried to follow the rooting and the unlocking bootloader through fastboot methods but every time i open sdk manager it just says i have to update, i update then it says restart, and no mater what i do, cmd just keeps telling me fastboot is not a recognized command... blah blah... short question is, is there a rooting app i can purchase or if anyone can give me a helping hand?
Edit: I have followed the steps exactly, switched off fastboot in power menu, and powered off entered fastboot from bootloader, plugged in device, entered cmd and tried it but i get the aforementioned error.
Edit 2: I made the folder and placed my files and it seemed to go a little smoothly but it says waiting on device and just hangs there. The computer is still not recognizing the phone, i still get USB not recognized. try reconnecting the device....
Oh also, trying to install a recovery to this, so i can root... but just an easy way
Please help me, someone... the bootloader says unlocked btw. but fastboot does nothing when trying to flash via cmd.
if you are running windows 8 you may need to install the correct drivers, i had the same problem when i tried to root my M7 and im runinng windows 8, if youd like the drivers, PM me i cant remember where i got them from, but i have them still. Also if you can try switching USB ports, i had to use a different one and everything went kinda smooth after that.

[Q] How can I return my HTC Evo to Stock?

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

[Q] problem during bootloader unlocking

I'm new to unlocking and want to get better rom so I decided to try it. When I get to the FASTBOOT stage and typed "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" the screen stopped at "..." and nothing happens afterwards. I cannot get any token. I followed the HTCdev instructions,. Am I doing something wrong?

did you install htc drivers...?
and which version of windows you are running..
also USB debugging must be enabled in the device...for this go to settings>develop option>usb debugging
and your Phone should be set as charge only as default.
I have amaze 4G from T-mobile. I installed the HTC drivers. Version is 3.00 I believe. I use windows 7 64bit. USB debugging was turned on and left in charge only.

I just figured it out. I downloaded the 4.0 version of HTC driver. And I changed my default language back to English. Either of those two things is the problem. I don't know which.

amaze not seen in bootloader mode

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.

Stuck in fastboot, won't show up on computer

After an hour or two of wondering why I couldn't get s-off on my phone, I realized that I was using a slightly outdated guide. Used Rumrunner instead of Moonshine, s-off acquired. I was trying to get my phone to be recognized as a Developer Edition, so I had to change the MID and CID. I was using a guide for changing the MID on here, but I guess silly me misread a step or something, and now here I am: the phone is stuck in fastboot mode. If I try to get into recovery it just flashes to the white HTC screen for less than a second and back into fastboot. Rebooting the bootloader just returns me to a black screen as if my phone were off.
When I plug my phone into my PC, I can here it dinging as if a device were plugged in, and when I go into Device Manager the port it's plugged into recognizes a device is there, but it says "Device failure enumeration" and gives me Code 43 (Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems). Any attempt to access via fastboot (I've tried reflashing a recovery and clearing cache, as well as rebooting) simply returns <waiting for device>, and when running adb devices it returns that there aren't any devices attached (explains why fastboot commands aren't working).
Any ideas? Or is my phone gone forever?

Ah, that worked beautifully. Charged up my phone, reflashed TWRP, charging fully before I embark on any more travels and will proceed with extreme caution
Any particular reason as to why Windows 8.1 is giving me issues? I hadn't read anything about that in particular, so I'm very interested to know...

I don't think there are any drivers available for 8.1 as of yet.
Some folks have got it to recognize but it's hit or miss

That's really strange. I had the drivers working prior to this episode. I thought that the device suddenly being unrecognizable had something more to do with it.
Oh well. Today I learned.

So you used a PC with Windows 7 and it recognized the phone? I'm having the same issue where I can't even get the screen to turn on and win 8.1 no longer recognizes the phone being plugged in.

Windows 8.1 recognized my device in normal operation, but in any modified hboot failed miserably. (such that are used in conversions/etc)
I've long since reverted back to Win7 for anything involving Android....just so much less risky at this point.
