Root Need help

Note that when the device is in fastboot mode, the command "adb devices" will never return anything.

You'd need to use the command "fastboot devices" when the phone is in FASTBOOT USB mode to determine whether or not the device is recognized as connected (though the simple fact that the display changes from "FASTBOOT" to "FASTBOOT USB" *should* indicate this).

Good to know, maybe I should have clarified to him, when he plugged phone into computer, set phone to charge only, then run the command "adb devices"
Then it should show his phone yes?

added to my bookmarks as well!
Now, what could be the issue with his "waiting for devices"?
I think/know he intalled htc sync, but should he un-install that, leaving the drivers?
Do you think he perhaps has another computer program wanting to sync to the phone such as pdanet or some other tethering program? i.e...should all programs that try to sync to phone, when it is plugged in, be uninstalled?
 
yes to all sync programs like pdanet . this is the second issues with communications problems. not sure what is going on. but those things will definitely hinder the process.

Not sure what kies is, but I briefly googled it. Looks like a sync program for multimedia for phones.
Can you disable it at all? Or set it not to sync when phone is plugged in.
I know some sync programs are set to sync as soon as phones are plugged in....
Have you uninstalled htc sync? When you do, it will leave the drivers behind and thats what you need, the drivers, not the sync part of htc sync...follow?

Edit: is kies for samsung devices only??
