Try adding adb and fastboot to your path in environment variables

I did what you said, but unfortunately it keeps doing the same thing. I will further my research into the problem!
Try disabling antivirus and firewall
I think you have the wrong HTC drivers. See if you can have windows do a Web search for the drivers, instead of the ones you are currently using

Plug in your device and boot to fastboot usb, and run
Code:
fastboot devices
and see if that will pick up your device.
if not you need to check your Enviroment PATH and make sure you have added it to the PATH so you can call it from any directory.
If you have a USB thumb drive available try a live bootable version of Linux to do the moonshine from

I ran fastboot usb on the command and I have found the problem. The problem was I had a older version of the htc driver installer. So ill uninstalling it and put the newer one. Much thanks my friend!!!!:laugh:

I am following the bootloader unlock instructions on HTCDev.com (I have unlocked, rooted and flashed other HTC phones) and ADB/Fastboot cannot see phone via USB.
When I try Fastboot oem get_identifier_token it says 'waiting on device' and when I try 'adb devices' it shows nothing.
I thought that the usb drivers were installed when I plugged it in normally because Windows sees the phone and lets me browse the SD card via windows explorer.
Figure that I am missing something simple...
Thanks

Thanks... Changed USB ports from front to rear of computer - made a difference. Thanks!
Also, I forgot that I hadn't installed HTC Sync which seems to be a reliable to get the drivers installed. Did that and had a different result.
Thanks again!

What is your recovery??
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
Since your bootloader is unlocked all you need to do for rooting is install a Recovery (best done via fastboot) and then just flash in a Superuser package such as this: http://androidsu.com/superuser/
It's how I've rooted an HTC Amaze and a Rezound
if u haven't already get hansoons all in one tool kit for the amaze, to be sure your bootloader is unlocked when you boot into it at the top in red it will say "unlocked". Then follow the instructions above being flash recovery, then flash the zip after booting into the recovery you flash. I prefer 4ext.
I know but when i try and put a recovery while its in fastboot nothing happens at all..the CMD comes up and nothing happens..I attached photo
its as if the laptop doesnt notice the phone is connected
Sounds like you haven't installed the drivers to your laptop. follow hasoon2000's instructions 1-5 in the first window then you can use his tool to root your Amaze.
I do have the drivers installed.i just double checked too

Did u rename the amaze tool kit folder. If so, please make sure that the folder name does not have any space between the words.. i.e, instead of 'Amaze Toolkit' use 'Amaze_Toolkit'. The space in the folder name would break the execution of the script.
Got my DNA today. Damn ***** updated on it own so now I'm on FW 2.06+. How do I go about unlocking the bootloader, putting a custom recovery for flashing ROMs, and flashing s-off?

If you're not careful it will get you drunk.
But seriously, it will give you s-off, and the means to unlock/replace the bootloader. And then flash roms, kernels, etc.
I would suggest reading a much of the thread as you can before doing it, though.

Adb won't work in fastboot, but fastboot does.
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
Is what you should be doing...assuming the firmware zip was packaged correctly.
Quote from my HTC One firmware thread:
Place the zip in your fastboot/adb directory on your computer.
Put the device in fastboot mode
(Volume down and power until menu appears, select fastboot using power button)
Connect the device to the computer
Enter the following commands from terminal/command prompt in the fastboot directory, one at a time:
fastboot oem rebootRUU (this puts the device in RUU mode)
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
It will say that the update did not finish, to flush again, repeat the above step:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
Quote:
Important: the flash process halts at around 75% to 90% on phone screen! This is normal and a safety precaution!
The last few percent is the reboot, which is NOT happening automatically, so you get a chance to check the console output before reboot to make sure it is safe to reboot!
The bar will only fill up to 100% once you type the following command:
fastboot reboot-bootloader (this reboots the device to bootloader)

Damn it's been a while for me but if you look in the stickies for DNA you'll find step by step instructions...you have download the SDK files onto your computer, connect the DNA to computer and run ADB to push all the necessary files (ROM zip and boot.img file) but this step only necessary if you are NOT S-Off...are you S-On or S-Off? Also did you create a back up "nandroid" of your DNA before trying to flash a different ROM? cause if you did you could do a RESTORE but again first things first, you S-Off or S-On?

He is s-on. He stated that in another thread. Also, you can fastboot flash the boot.img to fix bootloop issue. Just use the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (be sure you are in hboot and have the boot.img from the ROM .zip in the same folder as your flashing tools on PC, or use the flashing tool "windroid HTC DNA tool" in development section.)

Not true. I'm afraid you are misinformed.
I've unlocked all 4 DNA's that I've had on a Windows 8.0 - 64 bit machine.
First one with Jcase's original exploit. Second with Supercid and HTCDev unlock. Third and fourth with Moonshine.
If you're on Windows 8.0, downloading PDANet will install the correct drivers.
Windows 8.1 however, broke the Fastboot drivers.
Hope this helps :good:
