i was just wondering if anyone has tried the windows 8 consumer preview? if so are you able to have your device recognized in ap fastboot mode? if so how did you do it? i am not recommending anyone get it. my phone is recognized on the computer itself just not in ap fastboot mode...cant go back to windows 7 either as i have lost my recovery disc to do so....so im pretty much on the losing end of being able to unroot my phone to get the stock ics when it becomes available. fml

nope....once we install it we are done with as there seems to be no way to revert back unless you have your disc to reinstall windows 7

I solved this one on Win8. Copy the drivers from the Motorola program files directory on a Windows 7 install to a flash drive. Load the drivers from that and your phone will work RSD RAZR Utility ADB ect....... in Windows 8 Customer Preview.

Genius!

Any chance someone could upload those files? I don't have access to a windows 7 machine currently.

You can try the installer if that doesn't work just use device manager to manually choose the driver and point it to the Drivers folder.

I had win 8 consumer preview and though I was stuck as well. But, since I bought my Dell laptop with Windows 7, I own the right to have a copy of the disc. They just don't ship the disc with the computer like they used to. So I contacted Dell and game them the info from my computer and they mailed me a disc with Windows 7. My computer is back to normal again.

Im good...just did a reformat on my computer and was able to get windows 7 back

[Thach]

Oh cool. I had know with gateways, you can do a factory rest from bootup by hitting F4 then going through the recovery options. That's what I ended up doing with mine.

Anyone figure out how to use windows 8 for the utility yet? I have a mac, but the mac version isn't updated to 1.6. I can bootcamp windows 8, but don't own a copy of windows 7. Maybe I could use Tiny7 in a virtual machine or something if it has the necessary components? Any feedback would be helpful. Thanks...

Edit Oops, didn't realize the mediafire link above was for windows 8 :-P I'll try that unless anyone knows of an updated mac version...
