Root [Sprint] Problems rooting HTC One M7

[BeeBiteBoy]

I am stuck on a very early step. At the very beginning when I open up the command prompt when I enter "adb devices" it says "list of devices attached" but doesn't show a serial number for my phone. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, but I have installed the drivers and then deleted them and installed HTC Sync both and it's still the same problem. Can someone please help me out here? Thanks!

Install HTC sync. Let it finish. Then uninstall sync but leaving the drivers behind. You need the drivers so your computer can read your device.

I've installed the drivers and then when that didn't work installed htc sync and tried that and still nothing. I deleted htc sync and tried it and still the same thing

What does the computer show when you connect your device?

sounds like you on an old hboot and windows 8.1
you need a hacked driver install untill you get you hboot above 1.54.

[FIX] Windows 8.1 Fastboot/Flashmode/ADB for Sony and Samsung devices - XDA Forum

I repeat this is a REALLY DIRTY solution that may harm your system, personal data, hardware and/or cat.
Here are the steps:
0. Have a Linux or Windows LiveCD just in case something goes wrong
1. Download and extract files from attachment
2. Navigate to the folder corresponding to your system version (x86 = 32-bit, x64 = 64 bit)
3. Right-click franken-usb.bat and click "Run as Administrator"
5. Wait for it to finish and reboot the system. If everything went fine, you will boot your system successfully
6. Install ADB/Fastboot drivers just like on Windows 8
7. Connect your phone in Fastboot mode to your USB 2.0 port and check if it works
8. Enjoy and wait for official fix

How does it work:
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.

Script updated - it should now actually copy the files but please double check if files were copied to C:\Windows\system32\Drivers!




Hope it helps you!
