Same here as well. Also, I think I had mine plugged in in file explorer mode (or whatever it's called) and it worked. At least, I never selected anything and it worked like a charm on two different Bionics I had.

Thanks for the info!

I'm having issues to trying to root. It'll start and then stall before it even gets to rebooting. I'm getting frustrated, back when i did my Droid 1 i never had any issues. Been trying different possible fixes I've found, but still can't get it done. Made double sure I've got the latest drive from moto on my computer to.

That's the version I used when I ran the script.

You may need to run the script in an administrative prompt. You also need to make sure that USB debugging is on, that your PC is actually seeing the phone and it could even depend on what version of windows your running. I didn't even need to open a command prompt.

I know it's recognizing the phone. Both computers we have are windows 7. It would freeze at "daemon started successfully". I read a couple different walk thru's to make sure i want missing something to.

I was having the same problem. I uninstalled the motorola drivers that they have on their website and went with these slightly older drivers and it finally worked.

Download tools/Drivers/Motorola/MotorolaDeviceManager_2.2.28.exe at DownloadAndroidROM.com

Good Luck!
