cant find device on usb fastboot?

hello everyone.
am trying to flash a new rom to my device. i followed all the intructions till the one that tells me to flash the boot.img through the usb fastboot.
but my pc cant recognize my one x?
when i choose "Hboot" it says "failed to checj usb master and something like that!

Did you install the HTC drivers on your computer? If you download and install the latest version of HTC Sync it should work.

and if you have the drivers already, try to disable your antivirus and/or firewall before plugging your device. (it happened to me, my antivirus had too strict settings, preventing HTC drivers to install correctly, and also preventing adb to see my device plugged.)

I did download the drivers but nothing happened.
just a one more question. Is it okay to install the boot.img before the ROM?

Yes, as long as you go back to recovery right after flashing the boot image and install the ROM, otherwise your phone MAY not boot up (it should boot up and work, but it's a digital device)...

try unplugging...and then selecting HBOOT.....it might not give that error ...

still i cant load the fricking boot.img!!!!!!!
everytime i try it says "cannot load boot.img"
any help

hi
It seems like its a problem wiith the path from which u run the fastboot command.....what is the location of boot.img in ur system? is it in the same folder as fastboot.exe? and while giving the command 'fastboot flash....' what is the location that the command prompt is showing?(the working directory)

Once in the bootloader you must select FASTBOOT first and then connect via usb and type in fastboot devices. If it returns a number you're connected. That, may fix your issue.

Remember your software version?
Locked or unlocked bootloader?
Never use volume up + power! - some have reported it can brick your device , it's always volume down + power.

Bootloader unlocked and running a custom rom Endeavoru.

Well, if you don't know what ROM it was, best to just pick one and install it.
Make sure you are on clockworkmod 5.8.4.0, then flash ROM and boot.img.

Might sound a bit scilly, but how do I flash, when I cannot get past that screen, htc screen, assuming the only way to flash, is to actually turn phone past this white screen to place rom on phone?.

Hold power and volume down. Should hit the bootloader.
With the latest recovery, you can mount as card as USB and then copy ROM to phone from pc.

Ben is correct,
Flash clockworkmod touch
then you can mount your USB.
-----
Get Android SDK installed on your PC,
Put phone into fastboot USB
Flash clockworkmod touch via adb
Clockworkmod touch - http://db.tt/VF9J2eo8
Fastboot flash recovery CWM.img
Enter recovery, mount USB storage.
All of the above is done whilst phone is plugged into PC
don't flash anything on low battery

Renaming it? - not sure what you mean here.
Plug phone into PC
Put phone into fastboot USB (power + volume down then select fastboot with then power button )
Place CWM.img inside the same folder as adb, fastboot etc within your android SDK installation
Open command prompt on PC
Default installation commands are:
CD c:/Android-SDK/platform-tools
fastboot flash recovery CWM.img
If you installed android SDK to a location of your choice, you will haven to change the first command to that location.
Etc.

Just type the name of the Clockworkmod recovery file you downloaded, it should be recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img if you have downloaded the latest version.
No harm in renaming it but no need either. As it's a long filename, in most recent versions of Windows, you can type the first few letters then hit TAB and Windows should bring up the correct filename.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img

I tried to make it simple for you
http://db.tt/VF9J2eo8
Download that, its already renamed to CWM.img to make it simple for you.
The commands for command prompt if you installed Android SDK to its default location are:
CD c:/Android-SDK/platform-tools
fastboot flash recovery CWM.img
The top command is the location of your fastboot, adB etc within Android-SDK, this is the location you place cwm.IMG that you downloaded above.
You run the 2 commands above after you've put your phone into fastboot USB

thanks guys, i think am getting somewhere now, as am now getting a low battery error, so charging my phone, hope its charging, cause its sat at that white screen, with the red charging light on, so i hope its charging, will let it charge for a few hours, then try again, but really wanted to do it tonight, any idea, how long it takes to charge?, under this condition.

I suggest charging your phone whilst you still can, don't be impatient - low battery is the cause of most problems on XDA when people flash.

thanks guys, it worked, phone is alive much appreciated.

I'm a noob too.But let me just share with you,
1. Hold vol down and power button to get into bootloader.
2. Once in,select fastboot then choose recovery.
You should be able to see clockworkmod recovery or TWRP,whichever you installed.But to install them you'll need to do it through fastboot on the command prompt (for Windows) or terminal bash (for MasOS).Make sure you have the recovery.img stored in your computer first before proceeding.If you're not sure about this,then maybe you can Google search it first and I'll guarantee it'll take you back to XDA.
Sorry cos I don't have the links to share.But I hope this reply can enlighten you a bit.Good luck!

Rather old news, this was solved about 3 months ago

USB master mode failed to open...

Originally, my one x was o2 branded, so I unlocked the bootloader and rooted, I installed a custom Rom and everything was ok. Last night I used a method I found on xda of going back to stock (because there isn't an ruu yet) I flashed the latest cwm, flashed boot.img, after this my bootloader says...
sd checking....
Failed to open USB master mode
(preload) Failed to open USB master mode
loading Htcupdatezipimg....
Failed to open USB master mode
Plug off device.
So I'm stuck on pretty old software. I can't flash a new recovery, boot.img or do anything with adb in fastboot.
I have reinstalled drivers, factory reset, I even installed another Rom, none of which changed my fastboot problem.
Any help would really be appreciated

Are you sure you're in fastboot?
I get that message all the time when in HBOOT. I then select fastboot off the bootloader menu, press power to get in to fastboot and I'm good to go with flashing what I want.
And when you're in fastboot, you don't use adb commands, you use fastboot commands via cmd/terminal.

htc one x stuck on boot logo

was trying to flash cm10 onto my one x from this website:
pocketnow title "Jelly Bean on the HTC One X with CyanogenMod 10 (Video)"
ended up getting stuck one #8 because i assume "Shift+right click in the browser window" means do that in the android sdk program. now my one x wont be able to boot because on my pc it wont work but im now try to attempt at it with my mac. any suggestions on how i can boot it up? even it i do volume down+power button or volume up+down+power button it restarts but stops at the boot logo. your help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Did you flash the boot.img?

Shift + Right Click is usually done in Fastboot folder (for me) then click "open command prompt here" to use fastboot commands

Can you use fastboot commands with your phone?
If so then extract the boot.img from the rom you want to use, and copy it to the fastboot folder, then right click and open command prompt in the folder and enter the command fastboot flash boot boot.img

yes it shows up as red when it says "FASTBOOT USB". damn this 5min per post is annoying

Sounds like everything should work, have you extracted the boot.img from the rom?
place it in the fastboot folder on your computer, then shft+ right click and open command prompt and you should be good to go from there with flashing the boot.img

In that state try typing fastboot devices
You should something like HTxxxxxxxxxx fastboot
If the response is blank then you may not have the correct drivers installed for your phone. There are a number of ways to get the drivers; one way is to install PDAnet http://junefabrics.com/android/download.php
You don't even have to complete the whole install, just go until the driver is installed. In any case you can uninstall PDAnet and it will leave the drivers on your system.
When fastboot is finally able to recognize your phone then you can flash the boot.img by doing fastboot flash boot boot.img
(this assumes that boot.img is the actual name of the file, it should be unless you renamed it or downloaded it from somewhere)

is fastboot just a folder i create with the boot.img inside of it?

No, fastboot is a tool within the Android SDK. You used it when you unlocked your bootloader.

i bought this phone off another guy who had it rooted and loaded

where is the fastboot folder located in android sdk manager?

Download this file http://www.mediafire.com/?50baad8rykng2j0
Create a folder on your C: drive called fastboot and extract the .zip into the fastboot folder

ended up bringing my phone to the cell shop. I know its an easy fix but cant seem to find that folder.. they said it was a 50/50 chance and will charge me $80 if they can get it to work...think it was a good idea?

Not really. Seems the only thing your phone needed to boot was the boot.img. That would have been done in a couple minutes. As already said here: you simply need to put the android sdk on your c: drive, put the boot.img in that folder, go into bootloader and connect your device with your pc, it should say fastboot USB, open command prompt, go to the direction of your sdk folder and use the fastboot command to flash the boot.img. It should then boot.

adb sees phone when off but not when it is in hboot or recovery

If the answer to this is out there I am sorry TRUST me I have been searching. I have a phone a customer brought to me he tried flashing a rom and forgot to flash the boot.img, now it just sits at the HTC splash screen. I can see the phone when it is off but can't push any files to it via adb. When the phone is on no matter where I am in the recovery I can not see the phone in adb. If I leave it on the splash screen I am also not able to see it. PLEASE HELP

Keep the power button + volume down button pressed as long as it takes to see the bootloader, plug the phone into the pc (and use the original usb cable and a usb 2.0 port)
Then try to fastboot it
Fastboot devices (if a serial pops up its oke)
You don't really need adb to fix a hox !

I am waiting for the phone to grab a charge again it died overnight. I have done what you mentioned but I was using a USB 3 port. Will that make that much of a difference? I just need to be able to get files on it so I can get it back for my customer.
Thanks Again

Yes in some occasions it makes a very huge difference, usb 3 ports seems to have a bad relation with fastboot.
And files to the phone can be copied via the latest custom recoverys, mount it as a usb storage device inside it and it will pop up as a diskdrive on the pc !

Push the right boot.img to adb tools folder and flash it with fastboot flash boot boot.img
