I recently upgraded from a craptop to a lovely Windows 8 Touch Screen Laptop. I love it to death.
...But RSD can't see anything on it no matter how many times I install and uninstall the drivers or what version of the drivers I use. Fastboot works fine - everything syncs up and I can use fastboot/adb commands and whatnot with Atrix, X2, RAZR, RAZR M... but none of them will show up in RSD. I've tried every version I can get my hands on too. Has anyone figured this out?!
P.S. I've tried in a USB 3.0 and a USB 2.0 port and neither work.
I have read Windows 8 gives a lot of problems and I'm not sure if it has been solved yet. I dont have windows 8 so I dont know for sure. I would try and get to a computer with an older version of windows on it. Or maybe a Virtual Machine? I dont know. Thats the problem with using an OS that is new and not a lot of people have yet.
Finding any drivers for Win8 is a massive pain in the ass. Messing with anything other than the basic interface is a practice in futility.

I have Windows 8 and RSD lite 4.5 works fine. Did you download the Motorola tools. There is a sticky thread that has a link to a zip with RSD and both 32 and 64 bit versions of thr USB installs.

I have Windows 8, and i haven't had a problem with it yet.
RSD works fine for me on Windows 8.
You probably screwed yourself on the drivers. Go to device manager and remove all the USB and other drivers related to your device , then re-install using moto tools.

I've heard people say they have gotten Odin to work on their 64 bit versions of windows, but I cant. I am able to use it on a computer running Windows 7 - 32bit, but not either of the computers I've got running 64 bit.
I've definitely installed the 64 bit the drivers. I can access the phone in ADB on these computers. Odin sees the phone and throws up a com port, but I get a weird error message with Chinese characters when I try to move forward with the flash.
Anyone have a definitive answer? Is it possible to use Odin on Win 7 64bit?
I flashed the leaked J12 with Odin on my 64bit Windows 7 laptop without any trouble.
I flashed with Odin on my W7 64bit desktop. Had a little trouble with it sticking on the verifying files at the beginning, but restarted it and it ran fine the second time. That's the only experience I've had with Odin. Just though I'd let you know that it works on my 64bit machine.
Thanks guys. I dont know what the hiccup is on my end. I might go through my drivers again just to make sure that isnt the issue.
I would highly suspect that the drivers are the issue as have used Odin on 2 separate 64bit machines. Make Sue that after u download the Sammy drivers, that they are installed, and installed correctly.
they call me...kick ass
I was never able to make any win7 system recognize my vibrant in dl mode at all, 32 or 64 bit, no matter what drivers i tried. I even tried to extract the 64 bit drivers to the 32 bit Os as I had seen mentioned in a thread some people had success with. Xp ran it like a champ on the first attempt.

I know were talking about different phones here but I've been scouring the internet trying to find a solution to a problem I'm having right now. when switching from 1 custom ROM to another, it was required that I flash to stock EC05, then flash to EE?? my Windows 7 Ultimate x64 wouldnt work properly (kept getting stuck in boot.bin in ODIN0 but my old faithful Netbook with Windows XP Home SP3 (x86) workd flawlessly!
I'm talking 3 HOURS of trying to get the Win7x64 to work properly and had my Epic reflashed with XP in 3minutes and 27 seconds, not counting time to install Samsung Drivers into XP (30-45 seconds)
Granted this is my experiance, but before I got x64 I was running with Win7 X86 and still never had problems. I have read through Google search that other people with x64 Windows 7 had problems. This is my story only, best of luck to ya, but I am now ONLY going to use my ol Netbook (or x86 virsion of Windows) to ODIN my phone.
Never Stop Wanting More from your devices.
Im using 64 windows OS and i don't have a problem. If your device is not recognize by your PC just reinstall the samsung drivers and you are good to go.
Sometimes you have to go into the safe mode options and disable driver enforcement policy. Then it will work.

Nowadays, I use my Asus Netbook with WinXP to run RSD. But my girlfriend stole my netbook and now, I only have my macbook pro and I don't want to run Windows with boot camp.
So, the question is: Any of you already tried to use parallels with Win7 64 bits to flash SBF files and do all the other stuffs? I know we must not do some tasks on a virtualized environment, but RSD is running OK and I would like to hear your opinions about this.
I found on other threads people saying that there is no problem flashing roms using parallels, but we are on a motorola environment.
I just want to make sure that I'm not going to brick my phone because of this.
thanks.
I have used RSD using Windows XP & parallels no problem.
I've always paid close attention to the prompts for where to connect the new USB device and have never had any problems. I have done the SBF to unlock the bootloader as well as flash to 1.8.3.
I use moto-fastboot-osx32 for all my fastboot needs.
My version of Parallels is: 6.0.12090 Revision 660720, Windows XP 32 bit SP3 SP3, RSD Lite 5.3.1
Host is a Macbook Pro 6,1 i7 2.6ghz, OSX 10.6.8 (10.6.7 also)
I've always been running on battery when I flashed not that it should make a difference.
Presumably, Windows 7 should function as well.
Hope this is helpful.
I am currently running OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on a Macbook Pro
I use VirtualBox (free, www.virtualbox.org) and I run Windows XP in a virtual environment on my Mac
I can do EVERYTHING you would ever need to do regarding the Atrix -> RSD, fastboot, adb, androidSDK, run scripts from command prompt to apply mods (such as the wake on volume keys and webtopmodhack install.bat files)
Nice to hear that. Don't want to brick my phone because of a stupid thing. It is always good to ask. Thanks for replying.

I haven't had any issues using Parallels 7 w/ Lion / Win7. We're working on Android and iOS though. Not sure about Motorola but I suspect it will work. Good to be sure though.

hahahaha!!
i'm sitting alone in a lounge/bar having an early dinner and I just started cracking up. people staring at me weird now.
haha. thanks.
I've been looking around the net for about an hour and have not gotten any answers.
The info:
-Running GingerBlur 4.5
-NOT Unlocked
-Using Windows 7 64bit
-Have used multiple versions of RSD Lite
-Moto drivers installed.
Whats the problem? RSD Lite 5.3 will NOT recognize my atrix when its plugged in. I have tried everything i know of (reboot device, PC, change USB ports, install and reinstall all drivers and RSD) and nothing.
It simply will not recognize my device, even though my computer does and says all drivers installed.
Im trying to unlock and flash a new ROM. Can Gingerblur possibly be causing the issue? Ive read that Win7 64bit may be the problem? Any and all help would be appreciated
i beleve its been updated to 5.5 and also install your drivers and use the usb plug in the back of your pc
EDIT ;;;;;;!Ican confirm its been updated to 5.5. when i googled rsd lite 5.5 it
was the first topic /download on xda
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I heard also that WIN7 64bit has some problems RSD.
Try using a different comp with lower WIN version (I know for sure that Vista 32bit works great).
I don't think that the GingerBlur can have any effect, its just a mod, something a little more complex then a theme. besides I unlocked my BL when I was running GladiAtrix, which is another mod, and it went without problems...
Good luck

I have version 5.6 on my home computer. It is probably higher than that now as I have had it for a while.
I use Windows 7 64 bit without any problems.
You should definitely try a different USB port. There is a common issue of one USB port not seeing devices, whuile the port next to it does.
Uninstall the drivers and Motohelper if you have it, then reinstall Motohelper. I have found that installing Motohelper is better for driver install. You do not need to install the drivers seperately if you install Motohelper, as they are installed with Motohelper.
Boot into fastboot, connect your phone to your PC, bring up a command prompt and, in my case, I do 'cd C:\moto-fastboot' which is the location I have moto-fastboot at. (Obviously you need moto-fastboot on your PC). Then type in 'moto-fastboot devices'. If your computer sees your phone it will be listed and you should be good to go. The just 'moto-fastboot reboot' to reboot your phone.
Thanks for the replies, however i did use an older computer, Vista to be exact. It recognized my phone instantly, i flashed the SBF...
Failed to boot 2... FML
I've been looking all around and am currently going to flash the pudding 2.3.4 SBF. Is that a good call?

I probably should have just tried that before flashing the pudding SBF. Hmm, its currently executing the file, so im kinda SOL at this point.
I upgraded to 5.5 RSD and it still wouldnt pick up my phone? Tried multiple USB ports. Its not my computer not recognizing it, because it chimes and picks up my phone just fine...its RSD.
Well, after flashing the pudding 2.3.4, its stops loading at the white ATT screen, phone will not continue booting. Suggestions?
How long on that screen?
It can take 10-15 minutes to boot up after flashing.

I tried also to use Rsdlite on my Win 7 64bit laptop without any luck. My other laptop with same software installed normally works but not the one I had with me at the time. I ended up using a very old XP laptop with shattered screen and no battery and worked like a charm.
I had exactly the same problem with Motorola software update as well. On Some machines they simply refuse to work.
Have you tried booting in RSD Support mode?
Turn the phone off.
Push Volume + rocker and keep it pressed while turning the phone on.
That will boot up the phone in RSD mode and I've always had success with that method.
Hope that helps.

RSD mode isnt the problem, getting RSD Lite on the computer to recognize the device is the problem.
In my experience, MotoHelper is the culprit. Find the drivers itself without motohelper and try. I figured this out putting a Photon in diag mode, it wont let me read, said the port was already opened. Well was the motohelper service.
Uninstall all drivers and install just Motorola Drivers:

or the 64 bit version.
Hope it helps

There are so many contradicting things w/ RSD lite and Win7 64bit. I ended up just manually installing the drivers, still wouldnt work on my PC, had to us XP on my netbook.
I flashed pudding 2.3.4 last night and tried messing with Rom Manager, but it says my phone no longer has root priviledges (had root previously, was running gingerblur 4.5). Superuser is installed on my phone however. Rom Manager states...
"you must root your phone for ROM manager to function. Superuser was not found at "/system/bin/su" or "/system/xbin/su". Use Google Search on your computer to find instructions to root your phone."
How should i reattain root? The SBF was supposed have root preinstalled i thought. Can i flash the BL unlock, use Rom Racer and flash Darkside or something? Or will i not have root still?
I havent quite kept up w/ the Atrix development since the BL was unlocked, and there seems to be many methods and multiple uncleaned threads.
Now this thread is no longer about RSD...but basically restoring root without flashing the wrong thing and bricking my device.
yea when I went from gingerblur gingerbread. I had to re root I just used gingerbreak again and it worked

I have followed about every damn fastboot on Windows 8 post I can find on XDA and none of them seems to be working with this phone. adb drivers work just fine but no go on fastboot. Anyone out there have any luck getting fastboot working on Windows 8 with the DNA?
I successfully used fastboot and adb on Windows 8(64 bit). When i first plugged in the phone, and it wanted to install htc sync, i allowed it to. Then i uninstalled htc sync, but i believe it left the drivers. Adb and fastboot worked fine.
You might also check that you are using a usb2 port (not usb3) and not using a usb hub. Both have been known to cause problems with fast boot/adb

i was in the exact same position. My system runs Win8 x64 and I had my phone plugged into a USB3 port, but even when I plugged it into the only USB2 Port, it still had issues so I used my Win7 x64 Rig and it worked flawlessly.
Also make sure you don't have an app like easytether installed on the computer this if very often overlooked just disable it for the system tray in windows

I was able to select and install the driver directly using device manager in Windows 8. The driver file can be obtained from the drive that the DNA mounts when you plug it in USB. I used the windows 7 driver:
i.e. <MountedDrive> HTC Sync Manager:\Win7_64\androidusb.INF​
Hate to revive a old dead thread, but I guess it is better than posting a new one, so anyways on to my question, my only computer is a Microsoft Surface Pro, and it only had one USB port which is USB 3.0. In the last few months since this thread has been dead has there been any progress on a USB 3.0 driver from HTC, or here on XDA. ADB works perfectly but I can't get fastboot to install. I have the SDK installed correctly but I just can't seem to get the drivers for for fastboot to install.

I don't have surface so i'm speculating but, just like everything else. Install htc sync to make sure that all the drivers take cleanly. Plug in your USB and
adb reboot bootloader
when your phone reboots it should say
fastboot usb.
If it does then you are good to go, just run the fastboot commands from the same folder that your platform-tools are in. fastboot flash boot boot.img
it will say sending, then working. and you should be good.
If it does not say fastboot usb, then please post back and we will do more research to figure this out.

It does say fastboot usb but none of the commands will work, no matter what I try it will always say <Waiting for device>
And I have tried it with HTC Sync installed and after uninstalling it. I seem to remember it did not play nice with some older phones but when you uninstalled it they drivers stay there, not sure if that is still the case but thought that I would try just to see.

I've never heard of anyone with a usb 3 succesfully doing it and i've searched the forums like crazy. The only way i was able to get it to work is cuz i have two ports and the other was a 2.0.
I mean maybe im crazy but is there some sort of an adapter than could change 3.0 to output 2.0? idk....
On a side note I loved Windows 8 for about 10 minutes then dumped it and went back to Windows 7. Just saying.. I know that's not always an option.

Well aside we are off topic anyways Windows 8 on a desktop or laptop is a piece of sh#t, but on the surface this is amazing I could not imagine anything better on a tablet. The only problems are the price and only one usb, other than that this thing is the best computer by far that I have ever owned. And I would venture to say that it's the best tablet EVER! The only thing that would make it better is if the DNA would play nice with it.

are Motorola Drivers available for Windows 8?
I have read somewhere that the Driver pack wasnt compatible with Windows 8.
The drivers work but for some reason widows 8 can be picky. Not sure why. I had the same issue, try using a comp that runs windows 7 I guarantee that it will pick up your phone then.
