Just had to google it..
i already tried those still gives me an error on the usb driver ....
i think my windows is messed up
What's the error?
usb device not recognized properly
What does your bootloader screen show? Does it show OK to Program?
yes its all good
are you using usb cable that worked on your milestone before?
yep already switched usb cable too still doesnt recognize it , i came home for the weekend and already tried in my usual laptop where i already had drivers rsd lite and all the rest where i´ve done the procedure a gazillion times and still no luck my phone doesnt get recognized, is there something i can do? another software to reload the bootloader i don´t know whats the problem but now i know its in the phone and not in the computer
i have no idea where i pick this up, or it just come to me after reading multiple posts.
inspiration came from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1225998
if there is a problem with your phone not get recognized in bootloader you cold try this:
get a second working in rdslite milestone go to the point when you should start flashing a sbf, plug the first milestone out, put yours in and hit start.
don't know if this works is just an idea.
good luck.
edit: this is as a last solution if you managed to brick the milestone of course you could try another pc or a virtualization solution and try in linux
The RSD Lite does not have the drivers included? you can try that
thats a good idea but i dont know anyone who also has a milestone ...
rsd lite drivers?
isn´t there another software where i can load another bootloader ? something that doesnt need the usb drivers?

RSD Lite is the only you are able to make any modifications to the bootloader.
Do you have experience on windows? you can install a side windows and try the drivers if not you can try uninstalling all the motorola programs and related with the phone and look for one of those programs that clean the registry like ccleaner or tuneup utilities and them install the rds lite again. I use RSD Lite 4.9 and it works perfect...
Did you install the program that came in the CD inside the phone box? it could be the reason...
You can try the first post on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932196&page=6 Sorry to hear that it isnt working
the problem is in the phone not windows ...
not sorry because i already sold my milestone like 4 months ago and the idiot who bought it made more damage to the phone in 4 months than i did in a year and a half using the phone
its his problem not mine because i gave him the phone as new, and i am just trying to help him
I have a GT-P3113 and I cannot get the drivers to install on my Windows 8 64bit or my Windows 7 32bit pc's. I get an unknown device error and no matter what I do I cannot get it to connect. I have a Galaxy Note 2 which I have not had any issues with but I need to root my tablet so I can remove some apps for my daughters. Please help me as I have spent the last 2 hours on google and here trying everything to get this to be fixed.

I dont know how many times I have installed and reinstalled Kies and Windows trying to get this thing to work. No matter what I do I cannot get the damn thing to recognize by any pc. Does anyone know of a way to install CWM or TWRP from Stock recovery with files from External SD card. Im at my wits end and im ready to throw this thing across the room.
Try uninstalling Lies using an uninstaller app like Revo. This will help make sure you have all references wiped from your computer. Reboot your computer then reinstall Kies. Do you have your tablet set on "USB debugging"? The other remote possibility is a bad cord. I am running Win 8 64 bit and didn't have any trouble. Thank if this helps.

Unplug the device. Hold down the volume down and power buttons and wait. Don't let go of them. The device will take a screenshot, but will after turn off. Let go once you see a screen talking about installing custom os's. Press the button that says yes (I think it is volume up) and it will say 'downloading' with a picture of an android. Plug in your device and then try.
Hope this helps!
So my razr is softbricked. I have been reading the forums here for the last 4 days, probably around 10 hours+ reading for solution. Anyways, my phone refuses to turn on and it pulls up the "downgraded security version" on the fastboot screen. Now, adb recognizes my phone in fastboot mode, and I tried flashing back the stock firmware (I had it updated to 9.30 locked bootloader) to no luck. I read that RSDlite is the way to go, but it refuses to recognize my phone. I have updated the drivers close to 9 times already, and I honestly doubt that's the issue, as adb can recognize my phone just fine. Under configuration/Flash Modes there's an option for fastboot, which is greyed out and unclick-able. Is there something I could do to get it to recognize my phone? I'm not ready to give up on it just yet.
I figured the reason RSDlite wasn't working. For those who are experiencing similar issues with RSDlite not recognizing your device, I can confirm that it does not work with windows 8.1. You will have to run it in windows 7, or else it will not recognize your device.
When you say windows 7, do you mean a true physical win 7 machine, or windows 8.1 with rsdlite being executed in win 7 compatibility mode? I can't get rsdlite to work on my laptop as well and have no other machine..

I have another old desktop running windows 7. I tried it there and it was able to recognize my razr in fastboot. My laptop runs windows 8.1, and no matter what I did, rsdlite didn't recognize my razr. I think rsdlite just doesn't support 8.1 yet.
Thanks for the clarification, although it was not the answer I was hoping to hear
I honestly would switch my laptop to windows 7, if i didn't have to pay the 100$ for the OS. I still can't seem to adapt to windows 8. I don't like the answer any more than you do, I messed around with the settings enough to give up. Hopefully they might make a patch in the near future to allow it to work on windows 8.1.
Needs to be USB2.0 and you need to use the original moto cable.....generally it does matter
I used a USB 2.0 port on my laptop and desktop, same sync cable on both. If the cable was the only thing stopping it in windows 8.1, then I'm sure it would had been the same in windows 7. However, I was fully able to use RSDlite on my windows 7 desktop without any issues.

unfortunately I don't even have a USB2.0 port anymore on my ultrabook.. ah well, who needs RSDLite anyway, but still weird that it doesn't work.
Virtualize a W7 Os
Yeah, my RSD Lite doesn't recgonizde mi device, just in w7. You guys could install a virtual machine program like VM Ware or Virtual Box and Install the drivers, RSD Lite and the desired Firmware.
Have the latest version of Moto Drivers and RSD Lite. installed under Windows 8.1 64 bit.
Phone is detect as a media device with factory cable, but in fastboot on the phone I get nothing with RSD Lite. Is there some issue with Windows 8.1? I can get it to detect just fine on a spare Windows 7 machine.
Any pointers or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
It sounds like you are missing the fastboot drivers. With the phone plugged into the PC, boot to fastboot. then enter the windows device manager screen (from a run box type mmc devmgmt.msc and hit enter).
Make sure there is nothing with a yellow ? next to it. If there is, try completely removing the moto driver package you have installed, and reinstalling it from the moto site

Thanks for the input and suggestions. Done and done, still no joy. Tried different ports and went back and forth uninstalling and reinstalling from the Moto website. RSD Lite just won't see the phone in AP Fastboot Flash mode.
I know I have used RSDLite before on this machine with this phone when I did the SlapmyMoto or RockmyMoto to gain root a while back. Just can't figure out what is holding me back at this point... Any other other suggestions?

I had the same problem. Using the USB 2.0 ports in my laptop instead of USB 3.0 ports solved my issue. If that doesn't work and you want to make sure you are completely uninstalling the appropriate drivers and software before attempting a reinstall, try using Revo Uninstaller.

Well yeah sort of, I could have done that. However, The Win7 unit is a machine that serves another purpose on my network. It doesn't have any of my phone tools installed on it and didn't want to have to go back and forth between my main rig and this secondary machine. Keeping track of what is installed where gets to be a headache pretty quickly.
RSDLite, is a pretty basic tool, or at least I thought it was. But for the life of me, it just doesn't like Windows 8.1 on my main rig.
Please help me!!
as a 15 year old boy i was playing around with my newly rooted tf101 tablet and have some how managed to only have clockwork mod recovery 5.8.3.4 and no OS!!! please help i have tried Easy flasher ADB fastboot and none work i know how to get into APX and recovery and have also tried installing APX drivers but nothing works
please help im begging
:crying:
You need to get Easyflasher working
If using Windows 8 or any 64bit OS, you need to disable driver signing at safemode options screen, or use a 32bit Windows 7
install universal naked drivers as per instructions in easyflasher thread
Or try Peri in my sig
