Root [solved] Windows 7: Device Not Recognized

[nofxdan]

I've been having some issues with rooting my device using Windows 7 x64.

I have installed the 64 Bit Motorola drivers, but my device is not recognized by ADB or Pete's One Click Rooting tool.

For clarification, USB debugging is enabled, and I have selected "Charge Only" after plugging in the phone. The phone charges, but still I cannot seem to root.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Are you able to mount it at all? I mean without Charge Only. Have you tried other USB ports? The back ones on the motherboard and not the ones in the front.

Are you sure that your version of Win 7 is 64-bit? Is it Windows Ultimate?

I believe I read that some people with 64-bit also installed the 32-bit drivers to get everything to work right. I don't know why that would be but then I only have 32-bit windows 7.

It's Win7 Home Premium 64 Bit.

I will try installing the 32 bit drivers and report back.

I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit as well and have not had issues. However I don't recall ever re-installing the 64 bit drivers since I last wiped my windows since D1...cause last night I installed a fresh Android SDK ...

Alright, so I went ahead and ran Motorola Mobile Driver.exe, and selected the Clean and Reinstall option. After that, my computer detected the phone and it looks like Pete's tool is working.

Good to hear. Now that you're rooted get those ROMs on there lol.
