[Q] Droid DNA and ADB commands - HTC Droid DNA

Hey XDA I got my DNA the day it was released and love it. I am a creature of habit though so i want to root it like my past dinc2. I am running into a problem though. the command
Code:
adb devices
doesn't return my device. when i type in
Code:
fastboot devices
my phones serial number comes up, like it should. Fastboot works but ADB doesn't. I am trying to do JCase's Bootloader Exploit. I have the drivers installed, environment variable path set to my adb/fastboot location, and java sdk and android sdk all installed. I know ADB doesnt recognize it in the fastboot menu, just the beginning menu so that's what I'm doing. How can i get ADB to recognize my device like fastboot does.
Here's what I'm getting:
Code:
C:\And-sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
C:\And-sdk\platform-tools>fastboot devices
FA2BBS500706 fastboot
Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Um, do you have usb debugging enabled.

having the same issue. I can issue commands through fastboot and ADB commands when I'm in recovery but not when my phone is fully booted.

Try going into slept dev. settings turning adb debugging off then back on

Not sure what "slept dev. settings" is (typo maybe??). I have on/off'd dev settings and check/unchecked usb debugging a alot of times to no success.

Here's the cure all....I'm assuming you have the lastest SDK and have yor ADB folder set to something simple like C:\ADB and I'm also assuming you are running Windows
I had the same issue ....initially I had no issue in ADB and I was able to do the CIG change and unlock on HTC Dev..but later on I installed HTC sync drivers and from then on no matter what I did only fastboot commands worked in recovery...ADB did not in recovery or when my phone was running normal.
So...uninstall all htc SYnc and driverin programs/features on oyur laptop...reboot your laptop. on the laptop download and instal PDANet 3.50 (its free). it will prompt you to connect your phone and will install a proper driver (and also throw the pda net 3.50 program on your phone). Once you have successfully installed it, ADB should work perfectly for you.

yeah, whatever Windows or other HTC driver you have that install for thephone is still on the laptop and that will conflict when installing.
You get PDANet to install successfully your ADB will come back.
In your programs and features make sure HTC SYnc AND HTC Drivers are unisntalled.
No idea if Windows 8 is more of a pain..I'm still on 7

before anything else, make sure your sdk is updated to an ics or later level
i just update the sdk whenever google pushes an update

I'm on 7 as well. How can I uninstall the drivers for good, like to the point where its like the first time I'm connecting my phone to pc again

With your phone not attached..
Control Panel- Programs Features...when I had HTC Sync installed I had to uninstall that AND the program entry for HTC Drivers as well.
You can then also use USBDeview..sort/toggle by Last Plug/Unplug and uninstall any Android drivers you see which could be conflicting.
Reboot, Install PDA Net and attach the phone when prompted. Also accept the driver even though you get the warning that it isn;t digitally signed from JuneFabrics.

This didn't work I'm still getting error 103 Android Device not found

Update:
I got Pdanet installed via putting the phone into fastboot mode and installing Pdanet on the computer.
I did notice that when im in fastboot my Android adb interface (in device manager) popped up but when I left fastboot mode and went to the bootloader my Android adb interface went away, this may be my issue with adb devices not working i think...
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app

i am currently having this same issue. i did as you did and went to usbfastboot loader and tried installing pda net. i also saw the same adb device pop up but my install is stuck at installing pdanet phone and not moving. did you leave it in fastboot mode or did you reboot back?

HTC Sync w/ Rooted 2.1 Eris

Ok guys, I tried searching but couldn't find an answer.
I'm running Windows 7 x64. I previously have a non-rooted, 1.5 Droid Eris. I also had HTC Sync installed and working properly, and was able to sync my contacts and calender back and fourth.
I followed the guide HERE, with two exceptions;
1.) I already had a working USB driver for my phone, so even when I downloaded the Android SDK and the USB v3 drivers, there was no need to install them to gain root and upgrade to 2.1 - as proven by my currently upgraded Eris.
2.) In order to install the Recovery, I had to do the following from Command (while the phone was connected via USB w/ USB Debugging enabled:
With phone powered on
Code:
adb shell reboot bootloader
Once the phone gets into hboot and says "recovery usb" type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
with recovery.img in the current folder you are in, and fastboot in your path.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That said, I've got my Eris rooted and upgraded to 2.1 (I know, I already said this.. just refreshing you..), but I can't connect to HTC Sync anymore.
In device manager, my phone is recognized as "My HTC" under "Android Devices", as it always has. It's the same with or without USB Debugging enabled.
Am I missing something, or is this simply not possible at this time?
EDIT: I figured it out. Since nobody replied, I'll assume you guys don't need the fix.. if anyone does, feel free to PM me

[Q] Unable to see device in adb

I received my replacement DNA last night and I am unable to get my Windows 8 laptop to recognize my phone in adb mode. I had no trouble with my original. Here is what I have done to try to fix it. I have downloaded and re installed htc sync, updated the drivers and uninstalled htc sync. I also re downloaded the platform tools and set it up on my c drive again. Any ideas?
It has to be a usb 3.0 port. Switch to another port on your computer. It needs to be usb 2.0
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Yeah I tried that too. Its weird when its booted normally it can see it and be rebooted to fastboot. But after that it cant see it anymore. I feel like I'm forgetting to do something simple lol!
Booted normally adb devices should recognize it
Booted in bootloader adb devices won't recognize it
Booted in fastboot, fastboot devices should recognize it not adb devices
Where are you having issues. I guess I'm confused.

[Q] ADB doesn't detect device while in bootloader

I had my phone unlocked and working with a custom ROM in the past, but after some problems I gave up and just relocked it and went back to stock. Now I'm trying to unlock it again and I'm running into some problems. I'm unable to get the identifier token to use with htcdev because whenever I go into the bootloader my phone is not recognized by adb. fastboot oem get_identifier_token leaves me with a waiting for device message, and adb devices returns an empty list. If I turn the phone on normally the device shows up then. To the best of my knowledge, I have all the necessary drivers. I have tried multiple USB slots, multiple computers (including the one I originally did the unlock on, when it worked fine), and have searched all around the internet and various forums for an answer. I've tried manually updating the USB drivers through device manager, but that did nothing. I have HTC sync installed as well. When I plug the USB cable in I sometimes get a device cannot be identified/has malfunctioned message. Device manager also shows a yellow warning triangle on my phone when in the bootloader. I'm on windows 8 currently, but I've tried it on a windows 7 pc as well with the same results.
tldr: adb doesn't recognize my phone while in bootloader, so I can't unlock it.
Thanks in advance for any help, I've tried everything I can think of.
It sounds like the waiting for device message with fastboot it because you're in bootloader (hboot) instead of fastboot maybe. You want to uninstall the HTC sync program, it's used because it installs the drivers then you get rid of the program itself or at least make sure it's not running at startup and when you connect the device. On Windows 8 did you disable the driver signature verification yet?

Same result in fastboot, I'll try uninstalling HTC sync and disabling driver signature verification now and see how it goes
edit: same result, adb devices comes up empty when in fastboot after disabling driver signature verification and uninstalling HTC sync
It should be "fastboot devices" as the command.

that returns nothing it just starts a new command line.

Use the snip tool in windows to grab a screenshot of the command window stretched out to show the history, that may point me in the right direction. Do a search for Windows 8 ADB and Fastboot driver installation (i prefer Google and prefix the search with "site: www.xda-developers.com" no quotes) and you should find a thread with the steps for installing the drivers properly after signature verification is disabled in Windows 8. I used it to remotely fix a user's computer with the same issue you're having but I'm mobile at the moment. I'll help you get it straightened out though that's kind of my specialty. I'm about to go get something to eat, I'm working on a migraine and when I get back I'll check back in. Feel free to PM me if you want while waiting on input from others also.

Thank you for the help, I hope this is all you need from the command window. I'm trying the adb and fastboot driver installation thread that you suggested now, hopefully this will have it resolved by the time you get back.
edit: unfortunately that didn't work, it said that the driver is already up to date. The phone shows up as "My HTC" under android USB devices already, even when in the bootloader/fastboot, but it shows the device status as "This device cannot start. (Code 10) A request for the USB BOS descriptor failed."
Adb devices worked, that's your serial number so it's definitely fixable. What does it tell you when you boot to hboot, select fastboot, and use the command "fastboot reboot"
Could you send me a screen shot of the folder contents for the mini-adb folder, just like you did the command window except inside the mini adb folder.

I just have some extra things in the folder like some ROMs/recoveries but I don't think that would matter. I have adb.exe, fastboot.exe, and the two .dll's so I think I have everything I need.
And I tried fastboot reboot while in fastboot, I got waiting for device in command prompt. Also when I entered the command I got a "USB device not recognized" popup from the taskbar. Device manager shows the phone as My HTC with a yellow caution triangle on the icon and the device status "This device cannot start. (Code 10) A request for the USB BOS descriptor failed."
That's usually the result of using a USB 3.0 port, do you have a different set of ports you can try? Like back of the computer instead of front, side of notebook to back of notebook etc. Most motherboards have a USB 2.0 hub and USB 3.0 hub but the manufacturers don't make it obvious which is which in most cases. Also make sure antivirus and such is turned off while you're testing. Its one of those things that's just a tad bit off such as the ports or a driver.
Let me know how the above turns out and tomorrow if you want I can hop on teamviewer and we can try uninstalling what's there, starting fresh with the Google sdk and go from there.
PS- Sorry I haven't had a more direct answer I know it can be frustrating with so much trial and error and it being almost working. But I promise I'll stick with it until we get something figured out, or you get mad and remotely smack me over the head with a keyboard.

I'm pretty sure I was using the 2.0 port but I could be wrong. I'll keep working on it and if I can't resolve it I'd love to try teamviewer wth you. Thank you so much for all the help so far.
Finally got it working, kept trying on my old computer that I unlocked it originally with and eventually it just decided to recognize it and worked.
Thanks so much for the help getting to this point.

Is there an error information, e.g: Windows code 10.
If yes, I googled it, it shows:
The error message probably occurs when you are trying to use a particular piece of hardware, such as a USB connected device or internal DVD drive. Take note of the device you are using when the error occurs in order to update the correct drivers.

Regardless of how old this thread is I'm running into the same problems now!
My Xperia XZ1 Compact doesn't seem to be recognized when in the bootloader (indicated by a black screen and blue led).
I tried "adb reboot hboot" and it booted into a new black screen, but didn't last long before rebooting.
I tried other button combinations during the sequence and those didn't change anything.

[Q] How can I return my HTC Evo to Stock?

So I have run into a problem with my HTC Evo 4G LTE. I rooted a while back but I decided that I didn't really like the roms that would actually work, and so I tried doing an RUU to get back to stock. What ended up happening was that my phone is now S-ON but it says Unlocked and Tampered. but the custom recovery is still there so I can actually do updates to my phone. I have tried to re-root so I can try the RUU again but for some reason I can't get my phone to be recognized by fastboot or the adb. I don't know if its because I have incorrect drivers or what the issue is. Whenever I try to open ADB it just runs through a block of text and closes instantly, same for fastboot. I don't know anymore which instructions or methods to follow since I don't know what exactly the problem is. I've tried looking on here for issues like mine but I can't seem to figure it out. I just want to get my phone as close to stock as possible but I am seriously stuck right now and I need serious help. I would really appreciate it.

Uninstall everything HTC from your PC then reboot
Unplug your phone then install the latest drivers from HERE the ones dated 6/6/13
Plug phone in and let the drivers install
They might install while in bootloader and custom recovery also
then give moonshine another try
Should I only install the drivers or install HTC Sync as well?

So I uninstalled all the drivers and everything HTC and restarted. I then tried to install that driver from your link. It said the driver wasn't supported by my operating system which is Windows 8 64 bit and then finished installing. When I plugged in my phone it didn't seem like anything installed. The EVO is recognized by computer as a media device I guess. I switched the usb mode to mount as disk drive and it seemed to install a driver. Then I ran moonshine again but when it went into the bootloader, again it said the USB device was not recognized.

Hmmm not really sure then I have been away from the Evo for a while
Try this
On your PC go to device manager and find your phone, right click and select properties
Select the driver tab
Select update driver
Select browse my comp
Let me pick
Look for ADB USB device or similar should be one of the first couple choices
Select MyHTC install and you should be good

Uninstall everything HTC (again). Download and install HTC Sync Manager. Once install is complete, uninstall only HTC Sync Manager. The latest HTC Drivers will remain installed. Put your device into fastboot mode, and connect to the PC. Drivers should install, and the bootloader should go from saying FASTBOOT to FASTBOOT USB.

I just tried this, plugged it in and it still says the message of USB device not recognized. I'm really not understanding what happened as to why the fastboot is just not recognizing the drivers. I also noticed the word fastboot in red changes to fastboot usb when I move the selection down from bootloader to any of the other options. Is it supposed to do that?

I think your issue may be with your computer. Do you have another computer you could try this on? I personally have never used windows 8, but it is always something that could be an issue.

Yes, when you're connected to your computer via fastboot it will say "Fastboot USB". Don't worry about the message on your computer-I get them all the time and I can still run commands via ADB & fastboot without any problems.

But in Moonshine when it loads fastboot it doesn't work, it just times out. It finds the device and restarts it, but after it gets into the bootloader it fails. That is what I'm trying to figure out.
When you connect in fastboot USB mode, what happens when you run the command "fastboot devices" (without quotations)?
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G LTE
Well being that I can't open fastboot like normal because it just flashes and closes, I open a command window inside my platform-tools folder. Then I do the command fastboot shell and it says <waiting for device> and nothing happens. If i open the window and type adb devices it shows my phone's serial number, but fastboot devices or fastboot shell, nothing happens

[Q] [HELP] Phone is softbricked, can't get any ADB commands to work

Alright so I'm no stranger to flashing ROMS and whatnot, but today I slipped up and deleted everything on my internal storage, including my NANDROID backup. I still have access to my recovery (CWM touch v6.0.4.5). So I thought "no problem, I"ll just ADB sideload". Well here we are.
Basically I can't get my ****ing phone to communicate with my computer. I installed every damn thing I could think of to get my device to show up after typing "adb devices". I tried the universal toolkit, but as expected it didn't work very well. I tried it on my laptop and desktop, through USB 2.0 and 3.0. I installed the generic Android USB ADB driver, I installed HTC sync for DNA drivers, I installed a standalone version of the DNA driver, and no dice. Can't even get fastboot to communicate. Even though my phone says fastboot USB my computer won't recognize it.
This is seriously ****ing pissing me off, because it should be a simple fix. Anybody have words of wisdom to help me out?
Thanks in advance.

When your in hboot/fastboot and connected to your computer does it say fastboot usb? If it does when you type in fastboot devices is it recognizing your device at all? Should bring up serial number. Are you on Windows xp/7/8 or 8.1?

Which version of the universal ADB drivers did you use, because I just did this to my phone about a month ago and had the same issue? Once I installed the universal generic driver everything communicated and worked properly.
Try installing PDAnet it blanket installs a bunch of drivers that got me out of a similar spot!
