SOLVED - Fastboot - Windows 8.1 - waiting for devices - HTC Desire X

Despite many tutorials I am still not able to connect to my HTC Desire X (unlocked, S-ON, HBoot 1.25.002) for executing the fastboot-cmd.
I am not on USB3, tried different USB-ports, tried to install the Google USB driver (v11) manually - but still no luck. In bootloader the message 'FASTBOOT USB' is visible and highlighted. In Windows the device has a yellow exclamationmark (unknown device), category 'USB serial bus controllers'. It used to work fine, on the same computer. Updating to Windows 8.1 could be a cause. If my phone is in normal mode and connected to the PC I am able to drag files to and from the phone. ADB is working also, 'ADB devices' shows my phone.
What can I do more to recognize the phone for executing fastboot? Or is something else needed to do? Thx!

I can't give you link right now but use the search there was a way to use fastboot under windows 8.
Ps:
Try this https://cloud.mail.ru/public/e0429e9c057f/usb_driver_r08-windows.zip

Thx for your reply, still no luck :crying: I have searched more and more and problem solved :highfive:
This thread (click on link to view) helped me the most and has the files which are needed. The suggested KB-solution didn't work so use the old-dirty trick (and USB.zip) which is inside the thread mentioned. After executing the batch-file you probably still need to copy the files manually.
"As you all may now, Microsoft pushed the new driver stack in Windows 8.1 so ALL (not only USB 3.0) devices must provide a BOS descriptor. Sony ADB and Fastboot doesn't, so Windows fails to enumerate the device which is reported in Device Manager as error code 43. This also may help if you have a USB drive or mouse and it stopped working after you upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1."
"It's not any kind of magic - it just replaces Windows 8.1's usbhub.sys and usbport.sys with Windows 8's ones. Old files don't check for BOS descriptor so Fastboot can work."

Also just having the very same issue, haha its extremely frustrating. got adb to work when phones on but not when off

Might have just killed my usb ports
thank god for backups

Inside the mentioned thread are some solutions, i.e. #44
Just use the command: "sfc /scannow" from an elevated command prompt... the original usb drivers will be restored.
Or rename the .bak files of the two copied files to the original ones?

[Q] Viewpad 7 adb usb driver

Hi, I am looking for usb driver for viewpad 7 for using adb. Can anybody provide and link or pointers from where can I get the same.
Thanks,
Dang
There's no "real" driver...
Just connect your Viewpad 7 to your PC.
A window pops up where you can select "setup.exe" - select it.
Then a few drivers get installed (perhaps a restart is necessary)
Seems like the Viewpad 7 has a virtual drive which gets mounted when connecting it to a PC - it's shown up as virtual CD-drive for me under Windows XP and Windows 7.
PS: The drivers are also located on the virtual CD-drive in a directory.
Make sure you run the file from the virtual optical drive if you have autorun disabled.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
plug youre viewpad in now youre pc see een cdrom right click and open use that adb.exe that one works
How to remove the virtual drive
I have already installed the drivers from this drive, but whenever I connect the device, the virtual CD-ROM drive still appears. Anyone know how to get rid of it?

I always open the Sync tool then (do nothing, no sync or so).
That's the only way my Windows 7 PC recognizes the tablet via ADB.
I have been doing that as well, but it's just annoying to have this extra drive that is of no use and just sits there taking up a drive letter.
Stupid question, ive never used adb, but does this mean i dont have to download it because already cames on that virtual drive, and so i only need to install it ?
Now i manage to install the drivers.
I go to the command line in windows and write :
adb usb
adb devices, and get this:
List of devices attached
FM6120420141
Then i do,
adb shell, and nothing happens.
Ive tried several commands and nothing works, what m i doing wrong here ?
Hi guys, i tried another pc with windows xp and everything worked perfect at first try. Thans for the help VPAD7, nice chating.
Bye all the other losers.
Hi VPAD7
Can you share the solution for "adb devices" not working on windows7? I am facing he same problem with my Viewpad7.
Thanks for your contribution to the forum.

Solved driver issue on windows7
Hi,
I was facing issue in connecting viewpad7 to windows7 machine. Even synchronization steps were failing. Manuall attempt to run "adb.exe devices" were unable to detect the device. Here is my steps that I did for rooting the device with SuperOnceClick(SOC)1.7-
1. Initially driver were not detected/installed on windows7. Only CDROM displaying setup was displayed and clicking "Setup.exe" is not installing drivers. Copy the All files on computer and say folder name is "v7Setup".
2. To Install drivers, Connect Tablet/Phone to windows7, select "USB Tethering in tablet" (This is needed to detect devices by Windows7), in windows7:check the "Device Manager", it can show "Others" two devices: HSUSB & RNDIS. Update the driver for both devices from "v7setup/RUT/*" folders.
3. Now start SOC1.7 and select "rageagainstthecage" and click root. It may wait at "Running rageagainstthecage..." message in SOC log window. Then disconnect the Tablet after waiting for 1-2 minute and connect again after beep sound from windows7. Here, again I needed to install the drivers as mentioned in step2. SOC1.7 will proceed and finally in poup message, it will ask to "push su" files. And Done.

[Q] All basic Aria Drivers

Hi all,
I have an Aria running CM 7.2
I have a PC with Win XP SP3 where I am not able to connect my Aria because of lack of drivers.
I don't want to download and install HTC sync (pay-per-use plan).
Is there a standalone driver pack for Aria which I can use for:
ADB: VID_0BB4&PID_0C92&MI_01
Android Phone: VID_0BB4&PID_0C92&MI_00
Also there are other hardware IDs which I don't have right now, like fastboot etc.
I searched the internet and could not find any helpful drivers.
Can anyone help regarding this?
You can get the drivers here:
http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
File size: 13.1 MB
Thanks for the above. I installed it.
But I still get error messages saying hardware not recognized.
The (new!) hardware IDs are:
Without ADB
Android Phone : VID_0BB4&PID_0FF9
With ADB
Mass Storage : VID_0BB4&PID_0C92&MI_00
and still cannot connect the phone.
I tried specifying the path to the actual drivers in the HTC program folder, but no help.
Any solutions?

I tested my Aria with an old PC and it worked. Try installing the latest version of HTC Sync: http://dl3.htc.com/application/sync/htc_sync_3.0.5617_us.exe.
Can you explain how you are attempting to connect the phone? Are you just trying to use the RUU? Are you trying to use adb?
The drivers I linked to should allow you to do both.
Here's what I did.
I tried to connect the phone (normal working condition running CM7) without any drivers installed.
The missing hardware IDs were the ones in the first post.
Then I tried to install the drivers from the link.
The installer did not work, some trouble with the MSI Package.
I went to temp folder and ran the MSI package by itself. This time it ran.
Then when I tried to connect the phone (running, with ADB on), it detected drivers like Android Phone, USB Composite Device, ADB.
But got stuck when Mass Storage was to be installed. Threw a 'new hardware found' window at me.
I disconnected and connected without ADB this time.
This time it got stuck on Android Phone.
Can you verify the file's MD5 sum? It should be:
HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
f60771a86c4ad69c8c9c1d158e60e850
I'm not sure what else could be the issue unless some old drivers are interfering or something.

Well the MD5 is all good. Probably the machine is messed up.
Other USB devices do work though, without a problem.
Anyway, this is only a spare machine. Just was wondering why it would not work here. I might try installing HTC Sync later, but I highly doubt it will work.
Thanks a lot for the help.

One way to get Windows 7 to detect your Fascinate after flashing a new ROM like AOKP

Ok hopefully this helps someone. After flashing the amazing AOKP ROM (literally best ROM I've ever flashed...Holy stable batman) I noticed that on Win7 x86 or x64 that USB file transfer to/from SD card worked fine...as did Odin but Windows could not find a driver for my phone anymore. This creeped me out because this meant adb would not be able to connect. Running the adb devices command would not show anything.
I tried 3 different Win 7 machines and a WinXP machine all of them used to work but now they didn't I read the FAQ, I goggle searched xda and droid forums and tried everything, cables, switching USB ports, phone settings, dev settings, new usb drivers but, I could no longer get adb to connect.
So I started looking closely at the Samsung USB drivers I have on my machines which worked fine on stock ROMs, and a few other custom ROMs (not blaming AOKP no disrespect) and I found that the hardware id for my device changed and the device string wasn't referenced in any of the USB drivers files. So I forced the correct driver to install and it worked! So if that is all you need to know cool, if you some of you need the steps here they are:
I'm assuming you already have Samsung USB drivers and adb from the SDK installed (if not there's tons of info on this site to get both)
I'm also assuming you installed the USB drivers so they are in the default location, if you extracted a zip file or something you will need the path to the USB drivers
Last assumption... I tried 3 different versions of Samsung USB drivers and for each one the ssadadb2.inf that has the ADB driver was in the USB Drivers\16_Shrewsbury folder...If you don't find it there do a search in the USB Drivers folder and reference that location for step 13
Click Start button, then right-click Computer, then click Manage
Click Device Manager
Expand Other devices, you should see SCH-I500 with the yellow exclaimation point
Right-click it then click Update Driver Software
Click Browse my computer for driver software
Click Let me pick from a list of drivers
Scroll up, highlight Show All Devices, click Next
Click Have Disk
Click Browse
Browse to C:\Program Files\SAMSUNG\USB Drivers\16_Shrewsbury
Double-click ssadadb2.inf, click Open, Click OK
Highlight SAMSUNG Android Composite ADB Interface, click Next
You will get an "Update Driver Warning" saying cannot verify compatibility with your hardware, click Yes
You should see Windows has successfully updated your driver software, click Close
Back in device manager under ADB Interface you should see the driver name you just added....the entry under Other devices should be gone
Connect your data USB cable (not a charging only cable...if you can't tell the difference just be sure you used this cable for data before)
Open a cmd prompt (start>run>cmd enter if you didn't know)
browse to where you installed adb and type "adb devices"
You should see your device and a serial number again....back in business
Like I said no disrespect to AOKP I rock my B31 (soon to be 32) Pink Unicorn proudly This hopefully applies to anyone who had a hardware id change from any ROM.

[Q] Error: Device Not Recognized

Hi, I have a Scroll Excel tablet and was recently trying to flash CMW5 onto it using a recovery from the scroll forums, however in the command prompt whenever I type in the command ("adb push install-recovery.sh /data/" in case that helps) it says the daemon isn't running, then it starts the daemon, then it says "Error: device not found.
I've checked everything, I have correctly navigated to the folder which holds the recovery, I am entering the recovery name correctly, I do have the Google USB Drivers etc.. installed, the device is plugged in (and the computer knows it is, it detects it) but the prompt doesn't recognize the device.
There is one thing though, whenever I plug it in the computer tells me the device is not recognized, but it at least acknowledges that the device is there. Am I missing any drivers on my tablet's side or what? Thanks
Also, I attached a file of what the prompt tells me below v
I do not have this tablet so I cannot give you an exact answer. However, I would try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and restarting your pc. Also try a different usb port.
As stated in the post above, I would check my Drivers. I would also suggest checking your USB Cable. Make sure that it is good. Is your SDK Tools up to date ? BTW that seems like an odd path for your platform-tools folder.

It can't be the USB cable, I've tried 2 or 3. Also, yes. I updated the SDK tools yesterday. And I know it's an odd path, but I'm a bit OCD about keeping things in folders.
However, about the drivers, the computer says it doesn't recognize the device. And when it scans for the drivers it doesn't find anything to download. Regardless, Storage Options are willing to take a look at it for me (how nice, even with a technically void warranty.) Thanks for your help anyway.
I would definitely recommend re-installing the drivers. Then try again.

[SOLVED] Unable to access with ADB/No RSA Fingerprint Key Window

--Edit--
This is finally solved. There was a problem with my computer's ADB RSA key, so I simply had to delete the key file and rerun ADB and I Received the RSA Key Fingerprint window instantly on my G3.
For the full description of the problem look here:
I'm having issues trying to root my phone. I'm using the ioroot method mentioned here.
I get to "* daemon started successfully *" then nothing. After a lot of troubleshooting I know it's because my phone won't allow access by my computer. I never receive the RSA Fingerprint window allowing my computer access to my phone. Here's what all I've tried:
-Put phone into Internet>Ethernet mode (and I've also tried Internet>Modem, MTP and Camera modes as well just to say I did).
-Enable Developer Options and enable USB Debugging.
-Installed the drivers linked in the ioroot page (I've also downloaded the drivers directly from LG - believe it or not ... it's the same file).
-Installed the Verizon Software Assistant from the phone after connecting to the computer.
-Updated my ADB version with the SDK Manager.
-Used different USB ports on my computer as well as two different USB cables (one of which came with the G3).
-Checked Device Manager, all is as it should be and no unrecognized devices.
When I ran the adb server without the ioroot batch file, typing "adb devices" would return my phone's serial followed by "offline." It did this until I updated ADB; then when typing "adb devices" it would return the serial followed by "unauthorized." I've tried all various methods and combinations of switching adb debugging on and off, switching developer options on and off, installing and uninstalling and reinstalling the LG drivers, unplugging and replugging the USB cable, power-cycling all devices including myself at night, doing these methods with long pauses in between (10 minutes to ensure I wasn't being impatient), scratching my head, drinking more coffee, switching to rum and swearing at all devices but nothing seems to make a difference.
What am I missing?
I've got the Verizon LG G3 in White (LG-VS985W)
Software version VS98510B
Windows laptop running Vista 32 bit (I know I know, "eeew Vista")
I was able to obtain root using a different computer, here's what I tried with my laptop after gaining root to get it and my G3 on speaking terms:
-Deleted the ADB_Keys file on the G3 (/data/misc/adb/adb_key): no change.
-Compared running Windows services between Vista and 8.1 and started services which were running on 8.1 but not vista: no change.
Here was the resolution:
There turned out to be a problem with my laptop's ADB RSA key. I'm assuming my G3 was rejecting a bad key and disallowing my laptop to connect to it via ADB.
ADB saves a key file in one of multiple places on a Windows computer, the first is in the location where adb.exe is (C:\android), the second is in the user's profile (C:\Users\*username*\.android), the third place is in the Windows system files (C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\.android), the file is simply named "adbkey" with no extension. If there is no key file when ADB runs, it will generate one automatically.
Mine was located in my user folder (C:\Users\*username*\.android\). All I had to do was delete the adbkey file (there was also a file named "adbkey.pub" which I deleted as well), restart the adb server in command prompt (adb start-server) and plug my phone in. I instantly received the RSA Fingerprint Key window on my G3 allowing connection between the two devices. Then typing "adb devices" returned my phone's serial number followed by "device" showing it was available. I went back to the C:\Users\*username*\.android\ folder and sure enought there were new "adbkey" and "adbkey.pub" files.
Problem finally fixed!
Here are some VERY useful links which helped me come to this fix:
How ADB enables a secure connection
Reconstructing ADB's RSA key file
Try using this set of Vertizon g3 drivers: https://mega.co.nz/#!58YHAZaQ!yNlgZG1m7toHBZp_0HF1jSQ66gMoZmmiDrNq9W5aJIc
Open the .zip, run the .msi file on Windows.
I do not run the G3's auto-install software when I plug it into the PC.
I do set the G3 to "PTP" USB before initially connecting to the PC.
The adb file in the ioroot "bts" subfolder should be okay to run on Windows.
When the phone is attached to the PC, change its USB connection type to Internet, with submenu type Ethernet. At least on my phone, right when I change the phone connection to Internet/Ethernet is when I get the phone popup to accept the PC's RSA fingerprint.
If I then run "adb devices" on my PC, I'll see the random ID followed by "attached", which means I have a good connection. If this doesn't happen, unplug, then replug, the USB connection at the PC side.
Then I can "cd .." and run ioroot.bat.
Good luck!

... no dice.
Ok, I'm switching to my Windows 8.1 machine (my laptop is my server and android-dirty-work machine).
So it worked without hesitation on my 8.1 machine. I used the drivers listed in the ioroot thread (same as the drivers from LG) and the process went off without a hitch. I have no idea why my Vista machine and G3 don't get along but I'll need to figure it out when I do further adb work because I use my laptop for that.
Thank you markfm for the extra drivers.
I'll call this solved for now but if I find out further reasons why it didn't work I'll post it here for others who have similar struggles.
Ok I finally solved this. It turned out there was something wrong with my laptop's ADB RSA key. All I had to do was delete the key file, run the ADB Server and connect the phone. ADB will automatically generate an RSA key if none exists. The RSA key was located in C:\Users\*username*\.android and was simply named "adbkey" with no extension. There was also a file named adbkey.pub (Microsoft Publisher) which I'm assuming is a viewable version of the key. I deleted both of these, re-ran the ADB server and voila I instantly received the RSA Key Fingerprint confirmation window on my G3.
Done and done!

I've read and re-read all the entries addressing this issue. I have a black G3 and am using a 2013 Mac Book Pro. I've followed the instructions to the letter many times but with no success. I'm at a loss. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

You'll have to bear with me because I'm not familiar with Mac file structure.
I would start from scratch. Do all these before trying to run adb again.
On your computer:
-Delete adbkey & adbkey.pub from the .android folder (I'm not sure where that is on a Mac, Home\.android?).
-I'm not sure if Macs have a device manager, but check that your phone is correctly recognized and the drivers are installed properly.
On your phone:
-Ensure you've got developer features unlocked
-Double check that you've got usb debugging enabled.
-Tap the "Revoke USB Debugging Authorizations" button below USB debugging in developer options.
-When you're plugged in be sure to set your connection to Internet >>Ethernet (you'll see the debugging icon in the notification bar if it's connected right).
I know a lot of that is basic and redundant but if it's all done correctly then it should work. If it doesn't work it gives us a good starting point to troubleshoot.
If you want to test it open terminal, change directory to the bts folder in the ioroot folder and start adb (adb start-server), with everything done right you should get the rsa window on your phone right now. Type "adb devices" and see what comes back.
Thanks for the assistance. I never could get anywhere with my MBP so I used Windows. I downloaded the drivers and got the RSA key after revoking all prior authorizations. However, but my computer still won't see my G3 in internet/usb debugging mode. It reads it in MTP, PTP and USB charge mode. But that's it. I've rooted numerous phones before, mostly Samsung, but this one has me stumped. Any ideas?

Use whatever mode will enable USB Debugging. If Internet>>Ethernet doesn't work then use any other mode that will. It's not necessarily important what mode your phone is in, but what mode will allow USB Debugging. If you have it in MTP, PTP, Camera or any other, and you have the USB Debugging icon in the notification bar, try the "adb devices" command and if it returns "*serial* device" then you should be good to go to root.
Once your phone has enabled USB Debugging and accepted the RSA key from your computer then the connection is made and your phone will accept the ioroot commands.

Is your phone a Verizon Model (VS985)? I'm assuming not because I don't have PTP mode on my G3. If it's not Verizon, the ioroot method suggests using PTP mode.
Yes it is a Verizon VS985. I bought it last week. I have four options, charge, MTP, internet and PTP when I connect my phone to the PC. I get usb debugging under either ethernet or modem. Device Manegr sees my phone and I get the RSA key. I never get a terminal which let's me know something isn't right. This is truly weird but I won't give up. I'll start over and see what happens. Again, thanks for your patience.

No problem at all, happy to help! It sounds like you have everything set up properly, however the terminal doesn't open automatically (you need to do it manually). But you shouldn't need to open the terminal to get ioroot to work, after you've unzipped the ioroot.zip file, simply navigate to the ioroot folder, right-click on ioroot.bat and choose Run as Administrator. That should run through the entire process for you.
If you want to test your adb connection (testing not required for ioroot to work) you'll need to open the command prompt manually. Press Windows Key+R, in the run window, type cmd and press enter, this will open the command prompt. When you're in the command prompt, you'll need to change directory to the location of adb.exe in the bts folder inside the ioroot folder. Mine was in a folder named android on my C drive so the address looked something like this: C:\android\ioroot\bts the command you'll type in command prompt would be: cd C:\android\ioroot\bts then press enter. Then you can type adb devices and see if you're connected properly.
Okay. Here's where we are. I did everything you suggested. I got the RSA key and the G3 went into recovery mode. I toggeld down to the appropriate command and hit the power button. The little green guy fell over with the dreaded red triange and I got the message "This version of ioroot does not support your device/firmware combo. Please downgrade to previously supported software version. My G3 is running VS98510B. I can't post in the devlopment section but wonder if a software update prevents root the the version being used. Just a question but at least I know I'm not going crazy.

Hi, hope this thread is somewhat still alive. sorry for the late add on... please help.
Sorry I'm a complete moron when it comes to rooting and ADB / RSA stuff and have no idea what exactly i am doing but for some reason my macbook won't allow me to authorize my oneplus. the authorize computer dialog box never pops up however i get a notification when my phone is plugged in that debugging is active. developer options have been reset, multiple usb cables have been used, and authorization has been revoked multiple times as well.
Im not sure how to access my adb settings on mac and when i attempt to go into terminal and try kill-server / start-server commands i get error messages as commands are not recognized.
Any help is appreciated as i can no longer use stock rom on OPO and i can't go about rooting my device
Wrong forum area -- this is for the Verizon LG G3 smartphone.

It is also possible to overcome the situation, by installing Mobilego software on your PC and follow the instructions accordingly (connecting your android using usb & debugging etc,.). You will get a RSA fingerprint request.. Easy Once it's done, u can close the mobilego software in the PC and open someother software for example Bacon root toolkit for oneplus one etc etc.. Hope this helps
adbkey doesn't exist
I don't know what i did wrong before, but my computer just DOES NOT have adbkey and adbkey.pub anywhere! First, i thought it was my phone's fault. Then, i tested in a different pc, and it worked. How do i generate those keys? There are no helpful answers in the internet yet...
