I have followed about every damn fastboot on Windows 8 post I can find on XDA and none of them seems to be working with this phone. adb drivers work just fine but no go on fastboot. Anyone out there have any luck getting fastboot working on Windows 8 with the DNA?
I successfully used fastboot and adb on Windows 8(64 bit). When i first plugged in the phone, and it wanted to install htc sync, i allowed it to. Then i uninstalled htc sync, but i believe it left the drivers. Adb and fastboot worked fine.
You might also check that you are using a usb2 port (not usb3) and not using a usb hub. Both have been known to cause problems with fast boot/adb

Reinstalled latest HTC Sync from their support site and switched to USB 2.0 port. Seems to be working ok now. Thanks! Can stop using the backup machine with this phone now :highfive:

i was in the exact same position. My system runs Win8 x64 and I had my phone plugged into a USB3 port, but even when I plugged it into the only USB2 Port, it still had issues so I used my Win7 x64 Rig and it worked flawlessly.
Also make sure you don't have an app like easytether installed on the computer this if very often overlooked just disable it for the system tray in windows

I was able to select and install the driver directly using device manager in Windows 8. The driver file can be obtained from the drive that the DNA mounts when you plug it in USB. I used the windows 7 driver:
i.e. <MountedDrive> HTC Sync Manager:\Win7_64\androidusb.INF
Hate to revive a old dead thread, but I guess it is better than posting a new one, so anyways on to my question, my only computer is a Microsoft Surface Pro, and it only had one USB port which is USB 3.0. In the last few months since this thread has been dead has there been any progress on a USB 3.0 driver from HTC, or here on XDA. ADB works perfectly but I can't get fastboot to install. I have the SDK installed correctly but I just can't seem to get the drivers for for fastboot to install.

I don't have surface so i'm speculating but, just like everything else. Install htc sync to make sure that all the drivers take cleanly. Plug in your USB and
adb reboot bootloader
when your phone reboots it should say
fastboot usb.
If it does then you are good to go, just run the fastboot commands from the same folder that your platform-tools are in. fastboot flash boot boot.img
it will say sending, then working. and you should be good.
If it does not say fastboot usb, then please post back and we will do more research to figure this out.

It does say fastboot usb but none of the commands will work, no matter what I try it will always say <Waiting for device>
And I have tried it with HTC Sync installed and after uninstalling it. I seem to remember it did not play nice with some older phones but when you uninstalled it they drivers stay there, not sure if that is still the case but thought that I would try just to see.

I've never heard of anyone with a usb 3 succesfully doing it and i've searched the forums like crazy. The only way i was able to get it to work is cuz i have two ports and the other was a 2.0.
I mean maybe im crazy but is there some sort of an adapter than could change 3.0 to output 2.0? idk....
On a side note I loved Windows 8 for about 10 minutes then dumped it and went back to Windows 7. Just saying.. I know that's not always an option.

Lol , I'm with you on that one. I had dual boot and windows 8 took over my whole computer and locked me out of my Ubuntu partition. Plus hate the fact that windows 8 integration is dependent on having a windows account for EVERYTHING.

Well aside we are off topic anyways Windows 8 on a desktop or laptop is a piece of sh#t, but on the surface this is amazing I could not imagine anything better on a tablet. The only problems are the price and only one usb, other than that this thing is the best computer by far that I have ever owned. And I would venture to say that it's the best tablet EVER! The only thing that would make it better is if the DNA would play nice with it.

Fastboot is not recognizing my HTC One. I changed my cell ID and was trying to flash the GPE RUU when fastboot suddenly stopped recognizing my device. ADB recongizes it, and so does my PC.

yes I've tried to reinstall the driver. On the latest Ubuntu and Windows 8 it says on fastboot "waiting for devices"
I've only seen this with Windows 8.1. does Ubuntu even use drivers?

Can you restore your phone from backup? Do you still have recovery? Maybe use a usb otg?

Just realized something.. My Computer doesnt recognize my phone while it's in fastboot mode.. Is this normal? I don't think I have a recovery. My phone still works fine. Don't have a usb otg

Something weird for sure in Win 8.1, I too went all night last night playing around, and then today, nothing. Same thing, if I open cmd and check adb devices it list's it fine, but I can't run any commands, it just says waiting for device.
Reboot and recognize. I do believe there is a fix in the international forums, going to have to pursue. Seems to me nothing really works right in 8.1 though.
I got it, if you have just updated or changed something you must go through and redo usb debugging, I changed from 4.3 ATT to Brightstar 4.3 Dev Edition, and had to go through the whole setup process, enable developer options, enable USB debugging and checked through cmd, adb devices, and viola, it's there again. Not sure if that helps you, but it did me I still stand that 8.1 is a PITA!
I have the same problem as you! I do not know what to do. Please help! Will it work if I install windows XP?

you need hboot 1.55 to use fastboot in windows 8.1 or a special intel driver for usb 3.0
look around the forums theirs lots of info on it

The Intel rapid management (I think that's what it is) driver is so hit and miss. Sometimes it worked, most times, not. I gave up and went back to Win 8 last night and was able to do everything I needed to do. Win 8.1 has issues.

I could never get it to work on Windows 8.1, but it worked on Ubuntu. I was just forgetting to type sudo[/B ]fastboot devices

good to here, lol typo or wrong commands will get you every time
hello everyone. First time posting here. Im having a terrible time unlocking my bootloader on my tablet following sonys instructions. I get all the way to the part where sony has you download their usb inf replacement file for android sdk. I replace the file, go into fastboot mode on my tablet. the device shows up with the yellow exclamation in device manager but it wont let me update the drivers. I have also attempted to update the drivers through flashtool. nothing seems to work for me and Im at the end of my rope. it just keeps saying that windows cannot find driver software for my device. anyone have any tips or something that can get this working for me? im running android 4.2.2 with firmware 10.3.1.c.0.136 on the sgp311 wifi model. developer mode is enabled as is usb debugging. any help with this would be tremendous.

Strange... It might sound silly, but sometimes people forget it: Did you rebooted after installing the drivers from flashtool?

ya, still not updating the drivers. and when its been connected to the computer and blue light is on not getting anything when I list my fastboot devices. Im wondering if I should try and downgrade to an earlier firmware to use the one touch rooter. is that even possible?
I am having trouble getting my windows 8.1 pc to recognize my Droid DNA. I installed android SDK, installed HTC Sync then removed it it so I would still have the drivers. I have tried universal drivers and another tool I found on the thread but to no avail anybody who knows how to get the device recognized on windows 8.1 and knows how to root the phone could answer. Help would be appreciated. I have went through the process on other htc phones but this one is a little complicated.

I have been trying to do that for 3 months with no luck. Ther are 2 or 3 threads here that talk about 8.1 not seeing your phone. I don't think there is a fix until HTC releases updated windows drivers. I use Linux to fastboot my DNA. Sorry I did not have better news

Hey friends, having a hard time here for some reason...
Both my N7 (v2) and HTC One m7vzw will NOT show up in "adb devices" when in bootloader mode. They do however, show up when they are powered on. Its been a while since I've tinkered with either one in adb so I can't remember the last time it worked, but couldn't have been longer than 2 months ago.
I've tried on two Win 7 x64 machines, my Dell Optiplex at work and my HP laptop at home. I've tried switching USB ports, I've tried different USB cables including the factory cables, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers including HTC Sync Manager, I mean, I've tried it all as far as I know... Including updating everything is the Android sdk manager, I tried installing the drivers using WugFresh's Nexus Tool Kit as well (all with appropriate reboots as well...)...
So, I don't know what the eff is going on, but if anyone could maybe she some light or share some past similar experiences that would be sweet! :good:
You guys rock, thanks all.
Bump. Anyone?
however, "fastboot devices" does show the device, which is weird, so I should be good since fastboot is working and all I need to do is flash back to stock? I won't need adb commands?
If you have a windows 8 computer laying around, watch the video in that thread I linked you, it has drivers for 8.1.

Thanks, I don't, but I did figure it out, fasboot worked just fine, just no adb, luckily I only needed fastboot commands.
adb will only work in recovery and os, fastboot will only work in bootloader
So yes this completely normal
