Have latest drivers, still no fastboot?

[Dell2]

My Atrix is recognized by my computer under normal circumstances and when it's in RSD. But it is not recognized when in fastboot mode; I have reinstalled drivers, reflashed sbf, and unlocked phone. The very first step of rooting keeps giving me "waiting for devices", because phone is not recognized by computer.

I've been stuck here for 2 days now, reading, researching and I have come up with nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please list the steps you follow from beginning up till the point you get the "waiting for devices" message.

Are you booted into fastboot on the phone? Are you using the Android SDK fastboot implementation or moto-fastboot? Do you have fastboot in your PATH or have you cd'd into the directory where you've extracted the fastboot package?

Having a similar issue... not my first go around on this model. I have been unlocked and the whole 9 yards...

I went back to locked stock 4.5.91 (to make sure I still could) successfully. Today I went through the usual manual and auto unlock methods and RSD mode will not work. I have the most recent drivers from Motorola. I tried alternate usb cables... I have the Flash Interface driver installed (3.2.11).

I launch RSD protocol but nothing happens on my PC and RSD Lite does not show device info....

Could Motorola have done this recently? Or is there an older RSD driver someone can point me to to try? My current one is 5-2011.

EDIT: Fastboot no go as well.... not trying to hijack just may be the same problem... I am going to factory again and give it a second go... ADB Devices does not see the phone either

what worked for me at least was reboot computer, reinstall motodriver helper or whatever its called, and plug in phone. it will say on the bottom left "installing drivers", then "drivers succesfully installed". then do fastboot. sometimes even when you install motodrivers, windows does not recognize it so it has to say "installing drivers" at bottom right. then try fastboot. at least thats what worked for me.

Not sure if it matters on the drivers..but i had the same issue yesterday. I had the "waiting for device" as well...

i had installed the wrong drivers. I had the 32 when i needed the 64. After installing the right ones..my device was recognized.

Tried that as well earlier... not sure where I am going at this point

Pretty sure I installed 64 but maybe I better double check...

I just started over completely, figured it out . Thanks for help guys, I can try out Alien3 now.

I confess my main problem was boneheadiness, I kept putting phone in fastboot mode(kinda sorta). When
fastboot came up I would connect phone to my computer, I never hit volume up to actually select fastboot.

I been kicking my computer for 2 days, I shudda kicked my dang self.

I am still stuck...

PC will not identify phone in RSD or fastboot. I have tried all drivers I can find, have uninstalled and reinstalled all software, the drivers install in each mode but RSD or the official moto software upgrade will not ID the phone when connected...

Anyone have an idea what to do? I have locked an unlocked this thing once before the 4.5.91 update and again after. I used the official Motorola Software Updater to "update" back to locked stock and have had this issue ever since then....

Have you tried the moto-fastboot package?

Have you tried the moto-fastboot package?

been reading about this, everything I read wants the img files and I have all sbf. Thing is I can not unlock my bootloader...

 

[halfevildruid]

I was able to root through fastboot with no issues so it is ok, but I will be d*&$^d if I can get rsd running so I can unlock... it's not like this is new to me I have unlocked this thing twice before...

I just trying this to solve on my computer (Asus G51), but nothing I can do, reinstalling drivers, RSD Lite, nothing helped to solve this problem...so I went to another one computer (Acer) and I did it without any problem, install RSD Lite then drivers, unlock my bootloader at first time...I don't know where's the problem is, but I want know it
