do you have BOTH unknown sources AND USB debugging enabled?
and have it in the correct USB mode
also
try uninstalling and reinstalling Motorola drivers, make sure you have the correct ones installed, 32 bit or 64 bit depending on your OS...reboot computer after installing drivers

For many only Petes works, same for Me. Use this to root 234 http://www.4shared.com/zip/0k2yDv9l/...ools_v106.html
Then VooDoo. Up date then VooDoo to restore root.

make sure you tell em what else needs to be done if using voodoo to root, cuz if he just uses that then flashes he will soft brick and need to sbf

Yes Boss!
It is all over my two threads! But : you need to use the VooDoo option to delete the SU BU b4 you try and flash Eclipse as some never did or you will spend a Zillion days getting back!!
