Windows 8.1: Can't see as drive? - HTC Droid DNA

So I can't move files off or on to my device by dragging and dropping any more.
I have searched and found stuff about MTP drivers and work arounds but have not found anything that works. Anyone have any ideas about a fix.
I am running OSE, the latest build.

Could this be an issue with that specific ROM? My works fine with Window 8.1 64bit on either CM11 or AOSPA v4 beta. Have you tried PTP mode?

I guess I might have to flash another rom to find out.

Might want to dig deeper.. only thing you can't do with Windows 8/8.1 is use fastboot ... as far as I know.

Fastboot works on windows 8.0.
The update to 8.1 broke the drivers. No fastboot.
Just spent last night removing that update from my computer. Pain in the a.. but now my fastboot drivers are back up and working fine.

Mouse to lower right corner of screen >settings. >change pc settings. Then I think its the middle option >restart pc and save files.
Note... be sure to backup the files it says you will lose, and anything important.
This takes windows back to when your computer was new. Now I'm on a clean install of Windows 8.0 :good: and all my drivers work again

I'm back on Windows 7 for now.. trying to acquire a new DVD of my Windows 8 because of a scratch too deep to fix (as far as I can tell) ... I was on Windows 8.1 but corrupted data forced me to format (I broke it, haha!) and could only get my Windows 7 DVD to work.. Oh well.. been on the fence about linux so I may jump ship.

For me personally it was an mtp setting in the ROM I had forgot to check.

[Q] JB Diagnostic mode?

After the JB update, I can't seem to get Diagnostic Mode ##3424# to work. I've tried stock with goodies and OMJ build. Diag port doesn't show up in Windows 7. It does show up in Windows XP but driver doesn't install. Previous ICS worked on both XP and Win7. I've gone back to Stock with goodies ICS to confirm it still works. I'm just hoping ot have it available in JB.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Having the same problem. I can get into diagnostic mode on the phone but in Windows it won't show up as a modem in device manager or show what port (i was trying to manually change prl). Tried reinstalling HTC diagnostic drivers but it says it's not the right drivers for my device. Which is strange since they worked when I was on ics. I guess something changed on the drivers front with jelly bean.

My bet is that only works for windows 7. I've that post with both windows xp 32 bit and windows 8 64 bit and on both it tells me the drivers are not designed for my hardware (or something to that effect).
For now those on either of those OS's might just have to nandroid, flash ICS do their PRL update and then restore their JB nandroid.
Unless anyone else has figured out the proper drivers?

you need to install the drivers first. look at this page for help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769284&highlight=qpst+make+evo+louder . if you are on windows 7 64 bit like me and are having troubles with the guide that was first provided look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28717758&postcount=8 ask me if you have any questions, i went through the same thing so i probally will know the answer. hope this helped.
P.S. the guide I provided was for use with qpst so if you aren't going to be using that only do steps 1,3,4, and 5. also this person probably meant step 3 not 4 when he says this "Browse to the folder containing the drivers your downloaded in step 4" in step 4
try changing to disk drive instead of HTC Sync Manager option in the phones drop down menu. that should install the diag drivers that you have already.

[Q] SE Flash Olympus Driver

So I have finally gotten around to unlocking the bootloader so I can install the Atrix-MROM flash to stop having the battery and overheating issues that seem to be present with the latest update. I've been trying to use the procedure outlined in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871 , but when I reach the RSD Lite stage the driver cannot be found. I believe this is the flash interface driver going off of what I've seen, but I'm also a little new to all this. I've tried searching the threads and found nothing, and did a little googling. Any info on where I can get the driver or some other fix? And sorry if this has actually been solved, but I couldn't find anything.

What I have is the latest Moto drivers from the webpage, and the script that was uploaded unto the thread listed. Are you saying that the source of my problem is that like a noob I missed a set of drivers and that's why when I connect the phone in RSD mode it doesn't work?

If you say you do have the latest drivers from Motorola, you should be fine. I'm not sure what RSD version is coming with the automatic bootloader, but I know that there is an updated one, its 5.7. There might be an updated one from that, but that's at least what I have. Try searching and using that and post what happens.

Okay, so I found and installed RSD 6.1.4, and double checked my drivers. The moto drivers are version 6.0.0. Attached is a print screen of what happens as I try to connect and use RSD.
Just a hunch. Consider trying to add the drivers manually. Go into the device manager, update driver software, let me pick, then look around. I dunno what they'll be called or, if they will even be there. But it is worth a shot for sure.
If that doesn't work then you might think about trying a different usb cable/usb port/pc/32 or 64bit versions. Sucks, but been there done that one... Hoping that one of those helps you.
Good luck.

Glad to hear that you got it. Nice work!
It could be a wonky lappy. Myself I think it is because I try to adb and stuff for a lot of different devices on my pc. Seems like if only one device has ever been installed everything is fine. But once I start adding more devices and drivers to the pc it get confused and a lot of things just do not work. I either have to do some serious driver cleanup, or switch machines to be effective. I've moved on to a Samsung phone, but my Wife and Daughter still rock their Atrix(s(?)) So I try to use my lappy for those and my desktop for my Sammys. So far so good here.

Sadly, no i guess.
Maybe someone else here has done it, he'll share it. 2 possibilities are there:
1. Run winxp/7 inside virtual box (maybe it wont work)
2. run Live ubuntu from a usb flash drive. It will definitely work but not easy.

Windows 8 drivers for the Rezound?

I'm trying to get this tool Minimal ADB and Fastboot installed on my PC, wan't to get rid of the large android-sdk folder. Problem is that I'm on Windows 8.1. Are there any drivers out for the Rezound that are compatible with my OS? I need the drivers so my phone is recognized.

Thanks for posting that link here. I know the Rezzy is a dying breed, but I still have mine, and I always have a heck of a time getting my Windows 8-OS computer to recognize my device correctly. The tool pointed to in your link seems to keep adb/fastboot updated as well.
I'm already rooted, but I started up the app as administrator connected the phone, refreshed in the About Phone tab, and lo and behold, it recoginized it. The only test I ran was to boot into the bootloader using the tool. No problems. Hope other tasks go just as well...
cheers,

so just running a live disc can connect me with fastboot commands?
I imagine this is consistent for all of the android phones I'm tinkering and learning with (rezound, one, s3)?

Since the time of my original post in this thread, I've now tried to use fastboot commands. No dice. This all-in-one is definitely not a panacea for Win8.1 users.
So I'd have to agree with other users in this thread: Use a Linux variant for your work on HTC phones. Adb and fastboot are line commands for Heaven's sake, so most tasks won't require one to learn and understand the ins and outs of Linux.
Good luck,

Download the newest twrp image to your phone. Then go to the market and download flashify. It's a free app and it will flash the image for you from your phone. Worked perfect for me on my DNA. It's one way to just avoid using a computer to flash an image. Try that and report back.

Try installing PDAnet, it's installed some blanket drivers that have helped me out of recognition issues in the past!
