Hey guys. I'm trying to root my m8 by using the toolkit. Well, I try to get the Token ID but adb fails since it can't find any devices. I've uninstalled the drivers, re installed, tried different sources, everything and I just can't get it to be recognized by ADB.
Anybody have any ideas? I'm running Win8x64
Regards
Smith
I'm having the same problem

Make sure your SDK is up to date, and that you are opening the command prompt from the proper location. Also make sure that USB debugging is enabled in developer options on the device.
I've had the same issue. I did all of the above and even tried on a Mac and adb still hasn't recognized my phone. Im on win 7x64. Still researching for an answer.
I'm not sure if this will hold true for everyone, but what worked for me was to updat the adp.exe and dlls. Then after I did that, ran the get token script from the toolbox, open the phone to the home screen, and accept the connection request from the computer.
I ended up having to just start the process over again on a different computer, but it worked, so I'm happy lol.

You can also try disabling USB Debugging and re-enabling it while the USB is connected. Works for me so far

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

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.

Man, do I feel not so smart now. I moved to another usb port, plugged, and the drivers installed. Fastboot recognized and listed my device. I don't know how many times I've heard "try another port", and it never even crossed my mind.

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.

Good to hear! If you have any issues in the future feel free to PM me or ask on http://chat.andirc.net:8080/?channels=#droid-dna (the guys there are very friendly and helpful.) Or, post on the forums, but that one's obvious.
I've spent at least 6 hours today trying to figure this out. I've (tried) following numerous guides. I've never used ADB and I am have a lot of trouble with that. I've tried using the one-click tool, that doesnt work. This seems extremely complicated. More complicated than any other phone I've rooted and unlocked. Is it a Windows 8 issue?
I did it, it was a pain however I had other issues with win8 such as all large file downloads would freeze up then my dl speed would skyrocket then appear to be downloaded and were corrupt. Ive since reverted to win7 and my s3...DNA wasnt cutting it for me but ill return to DNA later on down the road, what issue you having? getting adb? I had to change my usb drivers

for me, to get the drivers to work i had to install htc sync.
If you plug in your phone, you should have 2 virtual cd's, one of them HTC sync.
After you get it installed, open a command prompt using administrator privileges (even though i am admin on my pc, i had to do this anyways)
and try running the command ADB devices and see if your phone shows up. that's what i had to do to get it to work.

I am pretty sure I did the exploit correctly. But when trying to submit the token, I get Error Code: 160.
Try right clicking on the root program if there is an AIO and select compatability and chose windows 7

Hey!
This is my first time posting, but I have read tons of threads on here over the last year or so with my Droid DNA.
A while ago, I rooted my DNA, and unlocked the Bootloader, and used moonshine for S-OFF. I now want to undo all that I have done. Wiping data is no issue, I backed up all my info. I plan to get a new phone soon. Basically, I can't get adb drivers to work. So I deleted my drivers, and installed the ones mentioned in the thread linked below, and I can't find how to get these drivers to work.
My plan is to follow this thread, using step 3 (for moonshine). I have TWRP installed, and flashed the lock_bootlader.zip file provided there. I cannot get adb to work, however, for the next step. For example, "adb devices" returns no devices. And thus i cannot use adb commands. When I run "adb devices", it shows this. What do I do??
Thanks
Some more clarification:
I might also add that Device manager shows my phone as "HTC6435LVW", under "Portable Devices". It seems to recognize it as an MTP Device when I try to update the drivers, and won't let me update the drivers, because "The best driver software for your device is already installed".
In addition, HTC Sync Manager does not recognize my phone either. I should mention that I already chose "Reset Phone" from the Settings menu, and then also did a Factory Reset from TWRP.
I'm so confused by all this - Why can't I get ADB to recognize it?? I have been and will continue to be searching for solutions to this problem here on XDA and also on Google. And do I even need to do all this to give my phone back to Verizon?
Try getting the drivers from PDAnet. If you are using Windoze 8 or 8.1 , good luck.

I tried that, it gets stuck at the USB Driver Installation page, when it asks to connect your phone. I have USB debugging enabled, and I even installed PdaNet on my phone to try to use their "USB Mode". The DNA has not USB options for Mass Storage, etc like the pdanet driver help page ( pdanet . co / driver ) (It wont let me post a link because I'm a new user, sorry) tells me to look for.
Windows device manager does not recognize it as an Android phone, but instead as a portable device, could this be a problem?

Hey guys I'm trying to unlock the boot loader through the all in one toolkit but it keeps saying device not find! All drivers installed correctly and the phone is being picked up through mass storage and connects to computer fine. I also have sdk tools installed and HTC drivers installed but the tool kit still didn't find phone. Also I run ADB devices and it didn't show up. Any ideas?

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2015467
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

umm, did you enable developer options and enable usb debugging? if you type adb devices and nothing shows up, its not going to work. You should learn how to do it all manually anyways. It could save you in the future. Go to htc dev site and it walks you through it for windows and mac. VERY easy. You need to learn to use fastboot commands. Msg me if you can't get it done.

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

ive never had any problems with command ADB DEVICES showing the connected device until this phone. I CANT use htcdev because it makes me download some file called "fastboot-win.zip" and after extracting it wont opne and gives me error message of some missing file which is indeed not missing. And dont you need ADB when you get the unlock token anyway? never had this type of issue before.

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
newest adb? usb 2 port? I have a mac so its a little different, but i had to update my adb when kit kat came out.

Do you get the same result when you run 'adb devices' in command prompt? Also uncheck verify apps and unknown sources in security. And I just want to make absolute certain you have usb debugging enabled once more

ok so i ran the toolkit for the 3rd or 4th time and it rebooted in fastboot to obtain my token to unlock. but when i enter the token into htcdev website it keeps saying its wrong length. i checked over and over and its the right length and im copying what i see from the htc dev website instructions but three times i get wrong token length.
ok i got the code to work..now onto the next step.if i have problems ill be back here.
I received a new Kindle Fire for Christmas(2015) and it is wonderful. However, I want to be able to test the apps I'm building on it. So far it has been a nightmare to root the device. I even tried RootKing, which didn't work at all. The main issue is finding XP drivers for the usb. I plug it in and I have some access to various directories, but not enough to get fastboot on there to finish the root process. Yes I did turn on debugging. Have tried four different programs, but nothing has worked. Currently running 5.1.1 on the Kindle. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Tried:
root_fire.zip
Amazon-Fire-5th-Gen-Install-Play-Store.zip
AmazonFire5thGenSuperTool.zip
GadgetClass_Simple_Super_Tool-Fire-5th-Gen
And When I try to install drivers from other sources, it keeps telling me it can't find what it needs to install.

I managed to cobble together the drivers I needed. Apparently XP needs
Universal ADB drivers AND MTA drivers in order to work. Once those are installed, it works wonderfully! Any way I can upload the file for others? Or do I need to place it on a server and link?
