jntdroid said:Well you could always just download and install what I linked - I guess you don't necessarily have to uninstall anything.
edit: or do what alt said just above this post, that would be ideal!
Thx. I been screamin' "back to the fundamentals" for 2 days on this thread it feels like *D They don't want me to go all Gene Krantz on them.
You able to get root yet?
derikogreen said:Ok I uninstalled my drivers and reinstalled them. Still not rooted... These are my drivers and my Device manager.
MotorolaDeviceManager_2.2.28.exe
USB COMPOSITE DEVICE
USB MASS STORAGE DEVICE
MOT COMPOSITE ADB INTERFACE
MOTOROLA XT875 USB DEVICE
MOTOROLA XT875 USB DEVICE
Windows 7 says they are ALL READY TO USE Does this verify my drivers are up to date and compatible.
Try this...
- Download this file - save it to your desktop.
- Right click on the .zip on your desktop and choose "extract all" then on the next window choose "extract"
- This should create an "adb-windows" directory on your desktop with four files in it.
- Once done, make sure your phone is plugged in and usb debugging is enabled (settings > applications > development > make sure usb debugging is checked) and it's set to Charge Only - not usb mass storage
- do a shift+right-click on that adb-windows directory, and choose "open command window here"
- In the dos prompt that opens up, type "adb kill-server" (without the quotes) - it should show nothing and move to the prompt again
- Input "adb devices" (without quotes) - it should return "list of devices" and then below that a serial # and title of some sort. If it only returns "list of devices" with no serial # or anything else, then it's not connected. If it DOES show a serial # after "list of devices", then you should be good to go.
- Just to play it safe, again input "adb kill-server" (without quotes) - then leave your phone plugged in and try MotoFail again.
- And just to make sure, you want the Gingerbread version of Motofail (see here).
Definitely correct drivers, mark that off the list. I'm so not trying to be annoying but you DID reboot the PC somewhere in there, right? After the uninstall reinstall and before the root attempt? Are you getting the same adb outdated message?
The command line adb test is definitive. If you get a serial number yay, if not nay. If you don't get a # the first or second try switch to a different USB port. If you do happen to have an extra cable try it as well.
Count the number of files in your motofail directory. How many?
Right click run.bat and select RUN, you should get "This application may be dependent on other compressed files in this folder. For the application to run properly it is recommended you first extract all files", select extract all, back to that same directory, now plug your phone in with USB debugging on and in charge only....Double click run.bat, wait for the dos screen to open and "press any key to root" or whatever it says, phone should reboot once or twice, wait a couple or five minutes and watch closely, you should be rooted.
