I can see the phone as folder(s) but adb devices draws a blank. How does one fix that?

Also, in the following post I had posted a query about what do Rooted, de-odexed, and odex for a ROM mean in lay terms.

Device not recognized?
On your PC go to device manager and find your phone(usually M7WLS), 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

It is that <adb devices> showing a blank (null list), so is not recognising it. On the other hand I am seeing both the drives/directories on My Computer. I will try tomorrow, as I have to take the 'boss' to the market today!

Very interesting. On a motoring forum someone suggested:
did you enable usb debuging on. without that phone will not be detected by adb. on stock rom usb debug is by default off. you will have to go into
settings->about->software info->more->tap on build number 7-8 times till you see message you are now developer. after that
settings->Development->tick enable usb debuging

and it worked!!! Never did this earlier, only enabled USB debugging in Settings > Power

Hello, folks.

I have Sprint HtC one: unlocked bootloader(HTCdev), root, SIM unlock(from this theme http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386703), and s-off.
I just want to install OTA updates and to keep my phone SIM UNLOCKED. Is this is possible? If yes - how?
I just want to use my phone with my carrier.

Need Guide fir Windows 8.1

My new laptop is Windows 8.1. On this I am unable to get my One to work properly. After installing drivers I did manwge to install some drivers 4.2.0.001 somewhere. I can see the two drives CD Drive G: and HTCONE but cannot run adb or fastboot. I am able to access the stuff in HTCONE. Sometimes I also see htc Sync Manager folder, but not always. Obviously the is something amiss with the drivers.I am told to expect Otherevices>DataInterface (twice) but am seeing nothing of the sort.

Help on Win 8.1 - drivers, and specifics of how to will be most welcome.

Purchase a copy of Win 7, wipe hard drive, install 7. I tried Win 8 for about a month, couldn't stand it. Went back to 7. Recently read that MS will not be selling any more copies of Win 7, only existing stock by retailers.

Not an option. I am quite getting to like 8.1! I always have my wife's Win 7 Toshiba Lappy to go back to. Also, htc shows Win 8.1 compatibility for htc Sync. I down loaded, and installed it. Was able to backup the mobile. Wht you suggest is totally escapist. I did find one procedure on the net which is a real 'fix' with 15 odd steps. I will rather wait for a proper way.

Ooops wrong thread. Sorry.

flash TWRP

Scenario:

- Your custom recovery is gone, and
- You lost root, and
- Bootloader is locked

But, your phone is S-OFF.

Options:

1. Unlock bootloader again from htcdev.com, then flash recovery and the normal stuff

Or

2. Leave the bootloader locked and flash a custom recovery this way. Need to have ADB files on computer and USB Debugging enabled on phone.
a. Download this recovery.zip file (http://www.mediafire.com/download/t3sqz961tpdgkof/recovery.zip), put it in the ADB folder where fastboot.exe located. The zip file contains TWRP 2.6.3.0 and the needed txt file (swiped from OMJ ).
b. Reboot phone into bootloader
c. Connect USB cable, fastboot will switch to fastboot usb
d. While holding down the Shift key on your keyboard, right-click on the ADB folder and select Open in Command Prompt
e. In the Command Prompt, type: fastboot oem rebootRUU then press Enter.
f. Wait for the HTC logo on a black background show up on phone then type: fastboot flash zip recovery.zip and press Enter
g. Wait for the recovery to finish installing, when it's done, type: fastboot reboot then press Enter.

Your phone will now have the custom recovery back to flash whatever you want.

HBoot

I'm new to HTC devices and have been wondering if I have HBoot 1.55 and S-OFF can I revert back to 1.44? I just want to get rid of the damn development disclaimer at boot. I've seen a toolkit for removing it with hboot 1.44 just dont want to revert and brick my phone. Thanks in advance!

If you used Rumrunner to S-OFF you shouldn't have the dev disclamer
