If you can't get adb working then you shpuldnt have a rooted phone in the first place.

Sounds like you don't have all the drivers installed and/or don't have sdk tools installed.
And no, there is no other way to unlock it.

Download the latest SDK (search for 'adt- bundle -windowsx86') and extract that file into your C drive.
There will now be an 'adt-bundle-windowsx86' folder on your C drive, inside that is the SDK manager.exe
Run SDK manager-it will create the adb tools you will need AND put them in the "sdk/platform-tools folder"
after the SDK tool opens, you only need to add the 'google usb drivers' (1 item) No need to select that box
as is checked off by default anyway. All other required adb files will have installed already. Install those google drivers
and you should be ready to unlock the bootloader. I would put all the OTHER required files to unlock it in the 'platform-tools folder also.
Then go to that platform-tools folder, hold down shift key and right click in an open area, choose 'open command prompt here' then just follow the tutorial pasting in the commands.it will work...

I'm not the one with the problem, I'm already unlocked, rooted, and rommed
ive already gotten the sdk installed ive watched droidmodderx video on how to do it and still cant get no where im new to rooting htc phones ive done rooted motorola and samsung phones and their not as hard
I had a issue with the drivers installing from my phone to my pc. I installed pdanet 3.5 (Google it for pc, play store for phone) on my pc and phone. Let pdanet install the drivers, once installed you can uninstall pdanet.
Once the drivers installed I was able to see my device in adb. Sorry if one of the links above were for this fix I didn't click them.

Well if you type the command adb device and nothing and your device doesnt show, there is 2 possible reason for the issue the first is that your phone is not in adb mode, go to the setting/developer options and make sure usb debugging is enabled
the second is that your phone adb driver weren't installed correctly i had the issue when i watch this video because when i was in sdk manger i unchecked the option to install the android 4.2 (API17) package, disconnect/reconnect phone and the adb driver install just fine after that
Sadly there is no other way to remove the verizon cid block as of right now

If you have sdk installed right then adb will be working...then if you follow the tutorial in the dev section (jcase) it will work. I have heard that some older versions of adb didn't support restore and that WAS an issue for me so I re installed the latest version of SDK and it then worked flawlessly. That's why I suggested getting the latest version and reinstalling. Maybe not the problem but you have had no luck with your old version so why not. You need to go slowly and read carefully. The process is really 3 sections, bootloader fix, official HTC website unlock code process and then rooting itself. It takes a while but it's how everyone got there, some easier than others.

Hello I did not wanted to make a new thread for this question, but I can't figure it out.. I'm preparing my phone for jcase exploit to unlock my bootloader. I did just about everything to prepare the phone except for the drivers, and the drivers are usually the easiest thing to install.
1. I have sdk installed
2. Java is up to date
3. I have set up HTC sync several times.
- my phone is on debuggin
- I have followed the steps on HTC sync page including tunrning off my antivirus
The pic is what it says everytime I try to install drivers. There is also a pic of my platform-tools. When I try locate on adb the imei is not popping up it says waiting for device. What else can I do to install my drivers.. thx
sent from my DNA
to install the drivers, install htc sync. after that you should be all set.
you can probably open up a CMD and check adb devices
if it doesnt show up try running CMD with admin rights.

You can always search on Google HTC droid dna usb drivers, There might be some defected or missing files at yours. And if that doesn't work, try on a different computer.
OK, similar situation. I went through jcases exploit without a hitch. Adb works just fine, I can see my device with adb devices command. When I go to bootloader/fastboot-usb, and try to get my unlock token from htcdev, all I get is waiting for device. The fact that adb works tells me that the drivers are installed. What am I missing?

No worries. As I stated earlier, I went through the unlock exploit from jcase without any problems. I went to htcdev, got to the spot to enter the command to get the unlock token(already in bootloader/fastboot usb), and I get "waiting for device".

Some diagnostics:
1) Run fastboot devices
2) Move to a USB port of another USB bus (like on another side of the computer of the furthest port away physcially)
3) Reboot and do a 'adb devices'
4) Is HTC Sync installed? I've heard it can fudge some things up. Uninstall it if it is (the drivers will remain installed).
Reason for edit: making the diagnostics more clear for future users with this problem.

That's great to hear, man! Sometimes, when you're in a lower level hardware ROM, USB connections get finicky, and swapping around which USB bus handles the connection helps. Glad to hear you're unlocked -- let us know how the unlock finishes out.

Toggle debugging on then off.
I am in the same boat as you. A suggestion was posted in my thread in the Q&A section that PDANet solves the issue as it installs the drivers for you but it didn't work for me. Any dev's know a solution to this issue.
"fastboot devices" should work.

No, the exploit will not work if your phone does not show up in adb.

How can we get cwr whithout an unlocked bootloader or root. This isn't helpful unless we have cwr already on there which we don't as we don't have root because we don't have adb to push the exploit. I don't mean to be rude but I am getting aggravated with this ADB thing.

Hello,
I had similar issues with ADB not recognizing the DNA, I disabled HTC sync and closed out of the HTC SYNC in the task manager... You may or may not have tried this... Based on my experience this was what happened with me.. I also have windows 8 64bit. Hope this helps
:fingers-crossed:
I installed drivers listed on one of the forums here. then i installed htc sync. Then i had to download the sdk /with google drivers.
I would assume that when you have your command prompt open that you cd into the folder. platform-tools. that way the cmd can find adb?

You need to disable HTC Sync. Go in task manager and see if there is another ADB current running. That is what happened to me, HTC Sync was trying to push via ADB so when I tried to root it couldn't recognize my DNA.

Not sure it would matter since you're running commands from ADB but did you turn off fast boot in the power options? Also, I know there's a tool somewhere here on XDA where you can remove all of the android drivers and start fresh. I want to say it's called USBDeview. It was part of the WugFresh nexus 10 toolkit. I used the tool to get rid of all my samsung drivers and also HTC drivers so I could start fresh
Here's a link to the toolkit. Try using the driver installation guide there, it has the tool in it I used to get rid of all the android devices to start fresh.

This is assuming your drivers are the problem which is what it sounds like
Edit: just use that toolkit for the USBDeview tool, not to unlock your device as it is for the nexus 10. Lol sorry had to just make sure

Right, and I guess I'm saying that it may be worthwhile to try cleaning out your drivers and then starting from scratch with HTC driver and android interface driver. When I cleaned out mine I had several duplicated. After removing them I was able to connect to my device just fine. I can't think of another reason why your device wouldn't connect

You must enable usb debugging to use adb on htc. go, settings, about and click on build like 10 times until it says developer options, then go to settings/developer options and turn on debugging. adb will not work on stock rom unless you do this.
Do you have the fastboot application in addition to the ADB application in the directory from which you are running commands? You absolutely need fastboot to get your unlock token.
Also just to clarify, what exactly does it say when you try to run ADB commands? Simply "device not found?"

Reboot your computer, install HTC sync manager again, then plug in your phone and drivers should install properly. But of course uninstall or close sync manager before you start running commands again

ok i got the code to work..now onto the next step.if i have problems ill be back here.
I have a new S4 with baseband MK2. I am getting ready to do the root etc. but I was testing ADB first to make sure it works.
I have installed the latest USB drivers, and turned debug on in the S4
I get get adb to launch, but when I use the command "ADB devices" nothing shows up.
I have rebooted both PC and phone with the same results.
Question,
Does the phone need to be rooted before ADB will work? If so....then how to I side load "Towelroot"? or anything else for that matter.
am I missing some sdk files...or something else?

Usually when nothing shows up at all it's a driver issue. What drivers did you install where did you get them. Windows right?

Drivers are good then, update your SDK like you said and try again. It should work after that, I don't have an S4 but they're all the same when it comes to ADB and fastboot. Good luck.

I played it safe with the 4.3 and 4.4. I didn't know if the updates were progressive (included all past needed stuff) or just specific for the version.
I've been trying to get ABD working mainly so can downgrade my fire 5th gen from 5.1.3 to 5.1.2 but at all the tutorials i get stuck at the ABD. i made sure to download the android SDK for abd, i set the paths and open up command prompt ABD is still unknown command. so i figure try ubuntu and ofcourse that crashes saying "upgrade motherboard or use force" and havent seen any new mobo updates.
then ofcourse to top that all off every single tutorial that shows how to get ABD drivers working for the thing stop at the part after i install fire drivers and abd drivers. at a point it is still not done becuase now you have to go into device manager and do option where you can select "android phone" but what if you don't have "android phone" as an option? i thught that the android studio would add that but i guess not.
so what do you do when get at these problems? tutorials i fallowed are:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/general/index-amazon-fire-2015-t3210485
and ugh cant find other right now but as can see nothing on what to do if get at my road blocks, i have also needed ABD for other things and it used to work fine for apk transfers on older kfhd on another PC 7 but drivers for flashing rom abd mode and just NOT installing nomatter what i do tried for whole day and a half trying to figure out this nightmare.
is for only apks?

uhh that pretty much says i have to load the firmware downgrade with ABD, and ABD is the problem idk how that helps?
Letme ask, did you install jdk and relate tools for adb like the one one will need for and android studio or some other developer tool? If not try to install it over Google you can find several related guidelines.
yea i got the ADB working on linux but not on windows still, also i can;t get the ABD drivers working because there is no "android phone" or "adb device" option in device manager which may have somethign to do with it.
well crap it just started working, but i still can't send adb commands because the drivers are not working due to not being able to continue tutorial over "device manager - select android phone or abd devices" step.
your problem sound like a driver problem but you can check the next forums:
