Flashing CWM recovery on a mac - Motorola Atrix HD

I have motorola device manager installed, have unlocked the bootloader, have rooted the phone, running stock 4.1.1 now, but nothing shows up when I use the command 'fastboot devices'. Any other fastboot command just says "waiting for device" for ever. But, the command 'adb devices' brings up the device serial number when loaded into stock OS. But once in bootloader, it returns nothing either.
What am I missing?

You are probably missing drivers.

But I have installed the motorola device manager. Doesn't that install drivers? Also, is it possible for adb to work without drivers?
Any idea what could be the solution?
Thanks!

Adb drivers and fast boot drivers are different... Possibily Motorola device manager installs only Adb drivers not the fast boot...

Those should be installed automatically... Open device manager of your PC and check for hardware changes... Then insert the USB with phone on fastboot .. Check if any sound/hardware detected... If detected trouble shoot it... Else contact Mac helpline for this issue

Fastboot Drivers

Hey guys I unlocked my boot loader and rooted once then I un-rooted and re-locked the boot-loader and now I am trying to do it again but I am having a problem. When I have my phone connected in debugging mode it shows up fine, I can use the code "adb devices" and it shows up but then when I load into the boot loader and go into fastboot and connect my phone to my computer Windows 8 says that it can not recognize the device this is on USB 2.0 it also says "device failed enumeration". On USB 3.0 I get a message that says "The device cannot start code 10". I have un-installed and then re-installed the sync manager and mulitple drivers to no avail. Please help.
Help

Yea I've tried two different computers I did have luck with one but I got as far as "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin" and get an error that says that it cannot load the "Unlock_code.bin". My hboot version is 1.44. My battery has been full all day due to the fact that its been connected to a computer all day http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

Well lets kinda rule things out. It shouldn't be your computer hardware or fastboot files because you tried this on multiple computers. Now what drivers are you using on each computer? Did you tried other micro usb cords? What shape is your micro usb slot on your device (looking at mine right now its kinda dirty)?
Complete those and it should tell you if its a connection problem or not. Otherwise we can partially assume its the software on your phone.

I have been using drivers that didn't seem to work(some that I got off some thread here) but those didn't work so I uninstalled those and then uninstalled and then re-installed HTC Sync. I have used three different cables and my micro usb slot seems to be in fine condition it doesn't seem to be that dirty.

I would assume this would not work as the op states that his device is not recognised in fastboot.

Ok so with one laptop when I have my phone in debugging mode and are in the sense OS the phone is detected using the code "adb devices" but when I go to the bootloader and put the phone in fastboot mode it is unrecognized. On my other laptop it is recognized in fastboot using the code "fastboot devices". I have not used the clear cache yet I will try it later.

Have you updated your firmware? If so, make sure your sdk is the latest version.
Use usb 2.0, usb 3.0 is known to cause problems.
Un-install htc sync but not the drivers.
Before attempting commands, eject htc sync drive from My PC.
Let me know how you get on.

Ok, my firmware is 1.26.502.12 which I believe is the latest for AT&T, I've switched from USB 3.0 to 2.0 still not working in fastboot. I re-installed the SDK yesterday so I don't think there should be an update. I have un-installed HTC sync but not HTC Driver Installer and still after doing all of this the device shows up when it is in the OS but not in fastboot. Also when I reboot my device USB debugging keeps disabling itself.
Any updates to this? I'm running Windows 8, have the HTC drivers / Sync installed.. The phone connects fine while in Windows. But is unrecognized when the phone is in bootloader. This is driving me nuts. I do not have access to another PC. I'm sure someone has this working.
Edit: usb 3.0 ports working after following the plugable.com method for windows 8 usb 3 host controller fix.

[Q] Fastboot not recognizing device?

I do have my drivers updated and installed (no HTC Sync).
I have sdk-tools and everything as well.
here's what i noticed:
So when I have my phone at the bootloader plugged into my USB, it won't say fastboot unless I press the volume up or down keys and as soon as i do then it says "FASTBOOT USB".
On the computer however, it just says "<Waiting for device>" forever. weird
Any ideas guys?

I have a couple ideas, not sure if any work.
1) test with the phone in android to see if HTC Sync recognizes the phone
2) Re-download fastboot and re extract it to make sure it's not that
3) Boot into twrp and see if it recognizes adb commands. This one won't fix it, but I'm just wondering if could possibly be a problem with the phone not recognizing while not in system
4) Use adb to reboot to bootloader instead of using the apm or holding down volume. "adb reboot bootloader"
If I helped you don't forget the thanks button!

Try uninstalling everything HTC
Reboot you pc and phone
Once both are booted plug your phone in and it should load a bunch if drivers
Also when you go to bootloader it should install more drivers
If that does not work

[Q] Softbricked. No OS, will not mount. Help?

I got an AT&T HTC One last night from someone who said they had bricked it. They were actually beginners and someone else had rooted their phone, but he had deleted the OS. Here's what I know: It's loaded with TWRP (2.6), the phone fails to mount the USB, ADB Sideloading doesn't seem to work, When I reboot to Bootloader it says "***Tampered***, ***Unlocked***, and S-On." I also tried loading the phone in Fastboot USB and running the RUU with no luck since the computer can't seem to recognize the phone.
I know this is fixable and if I could get it to mount, I'd be golden. What do I do?
Thanks so much in advance for your help!

Sideloading would've been the work-around, but since adb doesn't seem to be working, I guess not. You could try from a different comp or reflash your recovery and see if that helps.

Let me make sure:
in TWRP I go to Advanced, then ADB Sideload, I swipe the bar at the bottom, then it says:
"ADB Sideload
Usage: adb sideload filename.zip
Updating partition details...
starting ADB sideload feature..."
From then, the loading bar just keeps going and there's never a change. So I know I'm doing it correctly, am I supposed to have something pulled up in the terminal on my comp when I do this? I have the SDK. Got to SDK>Platform-tools>adb in the terminal before connecting the USB? I swear I must just be doing one wrong step.

Go into fastboot on your phone and try the command: "fastboot devices" on your computer, if it get recognized we can go further from there for finding your CID and flashing an RUU.

I rebooted into bootloader and made sure phone said Fastboot USB. In the terminal I typed cd [...]sdk/platform-tools, then typed adb which brought up all the commands for adb. I then typed "devices" it didn't recognize any devices attached, I then typed "fastboot", it brought up all the fastboot commands, I typed "devices" here and still no luck recognizing any devices.
I apologize for my slight noobness. I really do get a lot of this stuff, I'm just terribly stuck.

I'm just trying to root and even go s-off again but nothing is working l. Only command that works is , adb devices after that its no device found. I cannot root with toolkit or terminal I get same message.

adb commands only works from custom recovery or from a booted rom with usb debugging enabled
fastboot commands only works from bootloader
don't use toolkits, use fastboot and adb directly from a command window.
apart from the toolkit, if the drivers are correctly installed and your device is detected with "adb devices"/"fastboot devices" there is no reason other commands won't works.
you can also check nkk71's guide, there is guide in the FAQ to install drivers correctly.
You could also try to use adb and fastboot from a linux live cd/usb (ubuntu for example)
Most likely you just need to enable usb debugging in settings.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
USB debugging is enabled when I try this, all the tutorials ive read pretty much start with telling u that.
I've also used the command window to try troubleshoot why toolkit didn't work and same result.
When I try push a file like twrp I get no device attached.
