I cannot for the life of me get the device drivers for this ATT one X+ to work with me.
if i adb devices there aren't any listed. so obviously, when using the all in one kit, or trying manually, i am unable to reboot to flash the recovery.
i'm a bit scared to do it manually.
any help out there?
EDIT: never did get that fixed,
but i did manage to flash the recovery without it.
Are you on windows 8? I had a hell of a time installing the HTC drivers on windows 8.

for drivers issue:
install HTC Sync manager (it includes win8 compatible drivers)
the Sync manager can deinstalled without touching the drivers
I am on win8 pro. I just installed HTC sync from the HTC website.
I did not bother to un-install the extra stuff. I just rebooted manually during rooting.
I installed htc sync, htc sync manager, htc driver installer from all in one kit, all on Windows 7. Nothing.

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.
Okay, I am a noob. Obvious to those that saw my first post on the wrong forum. Here goes: I have flashed and installed custom ROM for a tablet so I have SOME experience with this stuff, however, the Toolkit from Hasoon requires that the user register on HTCDev sight to download the bootloader (?). That I understand (I think). But the video in the root Toolkit thread also indicates that the correct model drivers be installed. So, the obvious question is: without a device in hand (I am trying to learn all I can before purchase and taking on this task) where are these drivers located and to be installed? Are they packaged with the device or downloaded from the HTCDev site? Are they installed on the device or computer doing the rooting? I know, very basic question I am sure I would figure out if I had the thing...but I am trying to prepare.....
Thanks in advance.
install HTC Sync Manager, it includes the drivers
(Sync manager can be uninstalled without touching the drivers)
or use Pdanet
thanks for clarification what about Mac user...

OK thanks. Now I get it. I use a Mac for most of my work. I have the wife's PC for the toolkit but data sync/management would be through Mac. (When not in the cloid ) Is it a problem to root the phone and use HTCSync for rooting and then the Mac for future data sync via HTC software?
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
I have collected a few different versions of unmodified HTC drivers for Windows, all pulled from the HTC Sync application. I thought I'd post them for general consumption in case folks want to experiment.
HTC Drivers Folder at MediaFire
Versions 3.x are compatible with Window 7 and earlier
Versions 4.0-4.8 are compatible with Windows 8 and earlier
Version 4.10+ are compatible with Windows 8.1 and earlier
For most of these drivers packages, there is no "successfully installed" message. They were pulled from the HTC Sync installer, so the driver package is meant to install silently. You can verify their installation by looking for "HTC Drivers" in Programs under the Control Panel and making sure the version number matches what you just installed.
is there any difference between the drivers?

If a changelog exists for just the drivers, I am not aware of it. There is a brief changleog for HTC Sync here.
Everything worked fine thanks. I tried installing HTC drivers with hasoons aio tool but I could never get it to work

Do you know if any of these work natively with Windows 8? I've had to install the drivers manually via the method in this thread.

I was under the impression that the 4.x series natively supports Win8, but don't have a way to test this myself. I put in a request at the thread you mentioned and will see if anyone responds.

Thanks for putting these up though.

I suspect you're using Win 8.1? I think the drivers still are not working quite right with Windows 8.1 and older versions of HBOOT (like our phone has).
I figured that was the culprit thanks I'll try on Windows 7
Do you want to add HTCDriver_4.2.0.001.exe MD5: b9f772b16918157b469c1de9e7acbde2 ?
Ok, I am running Rumrunner s-off and apparenty I did not get HTC Sync off my phone. without HTC sync, my phone will not bee seen by windows and therefore not recognized as an ADB device. So I got the infinite dots screen and its hung. I uninstalled HTC sync, but it takes the driver with it. What do I do? I am a total noob and am just following instructions. Phone was rooted great and have been on latest build of LiquidSmooth for days.
Phone is now just rebooting constantly....
