Hmmm.... I'll have to test this with my girlfriends comp first, as I'm using win7x64 myself.

test as fast as you can .I want to root my mobile

fastboot doesn't work on windows 8.1
using a virtual machine also doesn't work as the vm reads the host system's usb
you'll have to find a different machine to use fastboot
or you could try using a linux live cd (but i haven't done this myself, so i don't know if it works)

I just saw this post today.
adb, fastboot works on my windows 8.1 64 bit machine though.
Win 8.1 has command prompt program. You have to run that command prompt "run as administrator".

Everything works fine but when I give fastboot command in cmd it says waiting for device and it never detects my device.
and in the windows notification area it shows USB device not recognised.

In the development settings... Make sure that you've granted root to adb and try again...

same problem here... wondering if you could solve your problem...

I guess I wasn't clear enough.
Windows 8.1 doesn't load the driver for the Vivid while it is in fastboot mode because of a change in the way Windows handles USB devices. ADB and fastboot may work on Windows 8.1, but you'll never be able to "fastboot flash" anything because the device isn't recognized while the phone is in fastboot mode. It is not a phone driver problem, it is a USB controller driver problem.
Also, like I said before, you can't use a virtual machine becuase the the vm reads from the host system's usb.
You will have to use an operating system other than Windows 8.1 to do any fastboot flashing.
Trust me, I've dealt with this problem since 8.1 was released.

[Q] adb devices doesn't recognize n1

Been trying to root N1(FRG83) without unlocking bootloader. Downloaded android-sdk to c: drive and downloaded usb driver.
When I boot the N1 into fastboot mode and type fastboot from the cmd prompt on the computer it sees the phone and gives me the serial (HT****)
When I try the same thing from ADB (ADB devices) it doesn't recognize the phone. I just get a blank line and go back to the command prompt. I've tried this on 2 machines (1 Vista the other Windows 7) and get the same results.
The frustrating thing is that I actually had the phone recognized with the ADB devices command when I first set it up but got called away from the computer and never had a chance to run the rooting routine.
Anybody out there solved this problem?? All help appreciated.
Thanks.
download and install the sdks and nexus ine drivers manually.
thanks but no luck
Downloaded drivers as you suggested but no luck. Also tried reinstalling sdk. Debugging is on, Java is installed, I'm out of ideas for the moment.

Del everything...restart your pc, and download the drivers and sdk..it'll take a few more mins.
When this happened to me, I restarted my PC and it worked.

If I recall correctly, adb won't work while the phone is in fastboot mode - and that fact that your fastboot commands work fine indicates that it shouldn't be a driver issue. Make sure you're running the adb commands when your phone is actually booted (at least to recovery).
If the phone is recognized by the computer via usb, but the adb does not see the phone connected, you just may need to simply delete and reinstall the latest USB driver that is offered.
There is actually an issue with Nexus One's where the adb composite interface doesn't work. It seems related to the issue with the broadcom driver and the mac address starting with 38.
See here - http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9437 - for more info.
I have now upgraded to frg83 and it works fine.

This. If you're running ADB in fastboot, you'll get nowhere.

[Q] Unable to get Fastboot to work, Win 7 x64

I have a TMO Dell Streak 7
I have rooted my device just fine, using the Composite ADB Drivers.
I have USB Debugging > ON
Windows 7, x64
I put the device in Fastboot mode
> Connected via USB
> Installed Android Bootloader Drivers from android_winusb.inf file
> Fastboot shows up under Android Phone in Device Manager
Yet, I am unable to see the device through Fastboot devices in CMD
-- ADB Devices does show my device connected, when booted normally and connected via Composite ADB Interface drivers.
Can someone please help me? I'd love to update the image with the tweaked image posted on this forum.
Thank you
A driver isnt installex. I know it sounds crazy. It took me 2 days to figure out fastboot. Also do you have the latest fastboot installed? When you plugged in the streak in fastboot mode did it prompt to install a driver?

Where do I get the latest Fastboot copy from? I just googled Fastboot and downloaded it from one of the sources that showed up.
When I plug the Streak7 to the computer while Streak7 is in Fastboot mode, Windows7 x64 automatically tries to find the driver and then fails. Then I open up Device Manager, right click on the USB device that's flagged and install the Bootloader Driver from the INF file (through Have Disk method). At this point, Fastboot does show up under Android Phone at the top of Device Manager. But no luck.
Very frustrating. I appreciate your reply.
go Into sdk and download the latest platform tools. You are using sdk correct? I really dont know what I did to get it too work but I do know it was a pain. Good luck. Let us know if you get it to work.
Sent from my Dell Streak 7
also not sure if you created a path for the sdk tools? Here is an awesome guide on how to setup adb properly. Follow it to a t and it should work. Might I also suggest startover fresh with everything. Hope this helps

I have found that I need to reboot my computer before each time I use fastboot on win 7 64, otherwise I just get a bunch of errors, even when I have no other adb issues.
Sometime when I have the time I will get fastboot working on my imac, I have to jump through too many hoops everytime I need fastboot on my windows machine.
that may because you didnt create a path for adb.

Can't use ADB

I tried using ADB with my 2X yesterday, but it couldn't find my device although I have enabled USB debugging. I found in default.prop "persist.service.adb.enable=0" Is this the reason that I can't use ADB?
What ROM are you using? What drivers are you using? Did you try restarting your device? did you try ADB in CWM with ADB support?
I was not able to test with persist.service.adb.enable=0. For some reason it reverted to 1 automatically..
What does ADB say when you try write adb devices?
You should always run it from a command prompt

are you use 64bit Win 7 ??
try to use 32 bit Win7 ...
It would be nice if you wrote in english, so others can benefit from your answers as well...
But if you wrote something like
"Are you using windows 7 64bit?
it works fine on windows 7 32bit"
Then I can answer that it doesn't matter if you run 64 bit or 32 bit. I don't even think there's differences in the drivers. I can use ADB perfectly fine with win 7 ultimate 64.

Q: USB Not Recognised while in Fastboot

Hey guys,
Wonder if you can all help me,
Im not new to Rooting, but i have never come across this error before, ive searched accross XDA and Google, but cannot for the life of me find a fix, found a couple of things about deleting a registry file, and installed the One drivers which i had downloaded from here. I Do not have HTC Sync installed.
When device is powered up normally and connected to USB it as fine. When i reboot the Device into fastboot and connect it, i get a Error saying USB Device not recognised.
When i goto device manager, its shows up as My One under HTC, but has a Yellow '!' in a triangle, when i click on properties it states a code 10 Device Fails To Start error.
Please help as this is really frustrating me... Ive tried everything! And i really dont want to re-set my whole laptop as i will lose ALOT of data!
Like i said, im not new to this, as been doing this since the days of the HTC HD2...Am i missing something? Having a thick moment?
Running Windows 8.1.
If anyone really knows what this could be and could possibly fix, let me know as have team viewer and would gladly let you connect to me to help me out (Donation for your time aswell)
Thanks in Advance!
Really simple mate, windows 8.1 isnt compatible with fastboot drivers for now. Only adb is working atm. So dont be scared, your phone have no problem, its only because you updated to 8.1
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Edit: there is a possible fix if your computer is based on intel chipset usb 3.0. Just google something like Windows 8.1 fastboot fix. Otherwise I think you will need to wait or simply use another computer with win7 or 8.0 or maybe dual boot win7 or even boot win7 with a vm?
Edit 2: search the forum, there is a "how to" force win7 fastboot drivers installation on win8.
Perfect buddy worked a Treat! Thankyou so much! I was getting so frustrated haha!
Didnt know it was a problem with Windows, so just needed to change the search terms, do'h!
For all those that has the problem in the future, a link for the fix!
Clicky!
Mods, this can now be closed, fixed!
fastboot for windows 8.1 over linux and this is my option to work fastboot on win 8.1
load wubi (windows ubuntu installer) over the link http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Wubi
than install ubuntu, on harddrive C:// and reboot your Pc
Now you have a linux in your current system, you can remove ubuntu (linux) in Programms & feautures list in windows.
now reboot reboot the system and isntall in ubuntu fastboot.
you musst give in the terminal sudo apt-get fastboot
and now you can flash your bootloader in linux.
but you musst sudo bevor you type fastboot flash type sudo fastboot flash boot boot.img
adb is working to on linux
i love wubi <3
you say it is easy
gooogle wubi (windows ubuntu installer)
tried running ubuntu in a virtual machine still no go guess the vm needs the windows driver to see the damn usb ports ffs
anyone know if for sure it will work if i actually install ubuntu to a partition?
Sony vaio 13 i7-4500u so only got usb3 ports and small hard drive didnt wanna dual boot really

[Q] ADB device not found

My ADB is not working... So basically I messed up my HTC ONE by formatting the whole device including system... I'm not sure what to do now. My ADB isn't working. Ive updated the ADB drivers, and updated SDK for Google. My device is not detected by my computer. When i'm in fastboot mode my phone is detected. Is there any other way of pushing a file to my device?
exactly where im at, my windows 8 cant detect but my windows 7 can detect once i move the thing down to fastboot. Shows "Android 1.0"
