So I have windows 8 Developer Preview
and the new photon drivers will not install because the installer cannot determine my operating system.
I just need to install the rsd driver so I can unlock my bootloader.
any ideas?
trying to avoid vmware if possible.
I have already tried compatibility mode.
...Why are you trying to do this in Windows 8? Just use whatever operating system you used to download the ISO.

I installed windows 8 over windows 7.
Everything else works fine.
Moto drivers msi is the only thing that won't install, because it checks the operating system, which currently doesn't exist.

Is there a compatibility mode for installation that will run it as Win7/Vista?

So I have a laptop with windows 8 on it and it wont take the drivers that are suppose to be installed in fastboot/hboot. If I load windows 7, install the drivers and upgrade to windows 8 they work fine but i cant take a windows 8 laptop and put windows 7 drivers on it from scratch. Any ideas?
Run the drivers in compatibility mode for windows 7.

This.
If you're not sure how to do it, right click the installer > Properties > Compatibility tab > Check the box to run as a different version of Windows > Select Win7.
Did that to get some Creative drivers for my sound card to install under Windows 7 when they were Vista drivers (installer explicitly checked for Vista, and if it didn't match that version of Windows, it had a fit and wouldn't let you install it).
Alright, I have a question that kind of relates to this. I have windows 8 dual booting with windows vista. If I wanted to go with just windows 8, how do I remove the windows vista partition? U am asking here because I have come to rely on the smart folks here, and their advice. I know this isn't about the rezound, please don't flame me....

Go to the regular desktop (not MetroUI). Go to the start menu and right-click on my computer then click properties. Click Advanced System Settings on the left then go to Startup and Recovery. Pick Windows 8 under the default OS, reboot your computer then delete the Vista partition.

Don't forget to expand the current partition too, otherwise you're wasting space .

you cant expand the partition if its at the end of the partition table. you would have to move and then resize and then grow the filesystem to fill the partition.

His partition may be at the begining.
But, I don't think those rules apply to SSDs right?

I'm using Win8 x64. Only thing I installed was the driver portion of the HTC Thunderbolt installer and the android sdk. Already had them installed for my Thunderbolt. I have both usb storage and adb access on the DNA as well.

When you plug the DNA into your computer it will mount 2 partitions (disks). One will be called HTC Sync Manager where the drivers are located. I'm using the drivers from the Win7_64 folder. I installed them through device manager and all has been working fine under Windows 8 x64. If you have any trouble please pm me.

When your DNA is in USB debugging mode under dev options, it will show up as an unrecognized device in device manager when you plug it into your computer. From there you can proceed to install the drivers with the files I mention in my other post.
I am having the same issue. I opened up the virtual partition and loaded the drivers as you suggested. my DNA is listed in the dev man as MyHTC. I have usb access but no ADB. I am using the ADB from the AIO tool kit. Tried several diff USB ports and a diff cable but I don't think that's the issue. Also tried the adb from the sdk. still no dice...
I have Win8 x64 as well. After turning on USB debugging, find the device in Computer and run the sync manager. At least, I think that's what I did. I'll have to check in the morning.

I think I've made a huge mistake.
I just wiped my device in TWRP because the last CM Nightly I installed was acting up.
I went into TWRP, wiped and factory reset. I then rebooted and went into TWRP again.
I wanted to install CM 9.1, which I copied onto my 64GB SanDisk Ultra, and I was thinking to just flash it from the external sd.
I read somewhere on xda that I needed to maybe use a smaller SD card and have the format in FAT32, which I did, but TWRP still does not recognize them.
I am currently stuck with TWRP v2.3.1.0, no way to flash a new rom from a blank internal memory or an external memory.
I tried updating SDK and the most updated drivers for the device through the Device Manager and use "adb push" or "adb sideload" but the device is not recognized.
Can someone give me some kind of suggestion to solve this situation.
I’d suggest using a linux install to do the adb stuff if you’re not doing so already, no need for crazy windows drivers to see a connected device.

Windows 8 is a bugger to get drivers working properly.
Try and use a windows 7 machine or a friends laptop or try the following instructions.
Windows 8 Instructions
How to Disable Driver Signature Enforcement in Windows 8:
From the Metro Start Screen, open Settings (move your mouse to the bottom-right-corner of the screen and wait for the pop-out bar to appear, then click the Gear icon).
Click ‘More PC Settings’.
Click ‘General’.
Scroll down, and click ‘Restart now’ under ‘Advanced startup’.
Wait a bit.
Click ‘Troubleshoot’.
Click ‘Advanced Options’
Click ‘Windows Startup Settings’
Click Restart.
Ubuntu is a linux based Operating System, and can be used to do most things Windows 8 does, sometimes worse, sometimes better. So in this case, it's less trouble to connect an android device to a linux OS such as Ubuntu, as it can recognize a telephone without having to install drivers.
If you want to give it a go, you can install Ubuntu alongside Windows 8.
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/tired-of-windows-8-how-to-dual-boot-windows-ubuntu/
And then install Fastboot and ADB:
http://putokaz.wordpress.com/2012/08/29/install-adb-and-fastboot-android-tools-in-ubuntu-via-ppa/
But, I'd stick to Windows and follow the advice of Flumpster if you're not too confident installing a second operating system.
I can and have knowledge of installing another OS to run alongside Windows.
I use VirtualBox to run Mac OSX and Android. Can I run Linux on VirtualBox and do the process through that?
I am not quite sure what I should do after disabling Driver Signature Enforcement on Windows 8...
Yes, you can install Linux in a virtual machine - give it a try. If the device is still not recognized via OS running in the virtual machine, you can then always install to your hard disk and try that route.
The other option is to run Ubuntu as a live cd eg from the disk in memory (not install) and do it that way. I first unlocked and rooted my mobile this way. I can give more info on this if you like.

I think I'll give a multi-boot option a try. I've been wanting to install a different OS anyway since upgrading to Windows 8. Now I just have incentive.

Just a quick thought after re-reading your first post, I'd try a smaller sd card (16 or 32GB). I have heard of the larger faster cards giving some people problems.
Solved!
After trying to install Linux using Ubuntu 13.04 and getting more errors (something with the UEFI vs Legacy Boot installation), I decided to retry and find the original Windows drivers for the TF201.
I found one through Softpedia, downloaded it, used the "Have Disk" option when installing the yielded "Transformer" device in the Device Manager and sideloading the new CM 10.1 Nightly onto it.
Works like a charm!
Thanks everyone for the support!
Hello everyone,
I am having trouble with the new version of Remix OS 2 Beta.
I am running a 64 bit machine, and downloaded the correct version. I used the installation tool (not the original usb tool, but the one that allows you to install to the C drive) and it appeared that everything was installed correctly "BUT". When i boot i get the two options (Windows 10, Remix OS). I choose the Remix OS option, and it gives me an error (remixos/kernel error). So, i did some research and it says that the os might not recognize that i have a 64 bit machine. I then proceeded with the same installation but 32 bit this time since it should allow me to use that version if i have a 64 bit machine right? It allows me to boot, but then stays in limbo on the ASUS boot screen until i restart. any suggestions.
Have the same exact issue. Are you booting with legacy or efi

Take the intrid.img from the Android x86 project of 5.1.1 and replace that on the usb before install. Worked for me. Rinning Beta 64bit now wheni could only run 32bit before.

Run it off the USB. When option comes for resident or guest hit tab and add to the line (or e for edit) INSTALL=1
I have a 64 bit machine and it installed fine. I don't think I had to change any setting from the installer. Wouldn't work with the alpha but the beta installed and booted right up. When it was installing there was like an 8 minute timeframe where it seemed it wasn't doing anything and my monitor (an hd tv) was getting no signal but I just let it keep running and finally it came back on and it booted right up. I installed to the harddrive also btw.
Thank you all for your feed back. I will try some of your suggestions in the morning. I didn't think I would get a response this fast haha. Thanks again for now.

I tried both ways and and with efi just got the kernel issue. It seems that everything installed correctly but when I choose remix OS it tries to boot and I get the remixos/kernel error
This sounds exactly the same issue than I have with Dell Venue 11 pro (7140). It has Windows 10 installed and secure boot is disabled in BIOS. I can select Remix OS in boot menu but then the following errors are displayed Remix OS doesn't start:
error: 'ntfs' is already loaded.
error: 'exfat' is already loaded.
error: no such device: /RemixOS/kernel.
error: file '/RemixOS/kernel' not found.
error: you need to load the kernel first.

You have as 64-bit capable CPU, as detailed on http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Atom-Z3736F-Tablet-SoC.122214.0.html
So 64-bit beta should work for you. Don't know why 32-bit UEFI systems have this issue.
