ADB drivers - Moto X Q&A

Hi All,
I'm trying to get ADB working. I installed the drivers via Motorola Device Manager. After plugging in my X it installs:
- USB Composite Device
- XT1058
But does not install
- Motorola ADB Interface (no driver found)
Anyone get ADB working / know where I can get that driver?
Thanks,

It did not work for me. Always Error: device not found.
The XT1058 in Device Manager have an exclamation mark on it. Already reinstalled Motorola Drivers many many times. Im stuck!

Latest Motorola device manager? What have you tried specifically
Sent on my Gummy running Lenoto X

Well my Windows 7 is brand new. Just installed, no garbage on it.
- Installed MotorolaDeviceManager_2.4.5 (most updated in Motorola support site)
- Installed Android SDK and updated.
Doesn't work.
- Tried different USB ports, front and back. Red or blue.
- Tried the Motorola Device Manager from the topic you said, the 6.2.
- Tried Disable and Enable again USB Debugging.
- Tried changing driver manually according to some tutorials (ABD Interface driver on Windows Device Manager)
- Unchecked option to verify harmful apps installed by ADB/ADT on Developer Tools.
- Checked Allow unknown sources on Security option.
- Prayed to God for several hours.
As said I rooted my phone (retail). Then I accepted the OTA update 4.4.2. (Yes, stupid me). I manage to get out of bootloop by Wiping Cache, Dalvik, etc. So back to 4.4, still rooted. Since I don't want to lose root, I would like to flash a new recovery.img that will allow the update to go trough.

OK, have you attempted to put your phone in fastboot mode and plug it in , you should see the driver notification pop up. Also you should be using mfastboot not fastboot to install recovery found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2603358
Sent on my Gummy running Lenoto X

Phone is detected by the PC and adb devices command when on normal system. But when I go to fastboot mode it doesn't recognize anymore by abd. Still the display shows USB Connected and I can hear Windows sounds showing something was indeed connected/disconnected. But ADB is dead.
I was never able to use mfastboot. Simple doesn't work either. Anyway, if ADB is at least able to see the device, then I can try it again.

Oh and I just tried one more thing: Install RSD Lite. RSD Lite is able to see the device while on fastboot. ADB command still NO.

Adb is probably your issue ,if rsdlite see it that means the fastboot driver is installed, the link I gave you has the SDK installer link

[HELP] Comp can't detect my phone in fastboot mode anymore

Hi all
I had to wipe my phone in custom recovery.
I wanted to flash it with RSD lite, as a lot of time, and i can't get it detected by my computer
I search to install drivers (wtf, they were on the computer..?!) and failed.
I gone to the configuration panel in my computer and uninstalled adb drivers
The i got "Fastboot smi S" drivers trying to install, failed too
I uninstalled moto drivers and reinstalled with the file Motorola_End_User_Driver_Installation_5.9.0_64bit.msi
rebooted
same problem...
i dont know how to make this fastboot mode detected again ....
Thx for help!
I had the same problem 2month ago with windows 8.
Instal sdk tools if you don't do that before or if it's always not working use an other computer because it's just a driver bug.

Just had the same kind of problem on Window 7 after playing with fastboot mode and various tools, this is how I solved it:
My XT890 in fastboot mode was recognized as "Unkown device"
=> I uninstalled the driver for this device.
My XT890 was thenidentified as "fastboot smi s" and would not install whatever I did
=> uninstalled "Motorola Device Manager" and "Motorola Mobile Drivers Installation 6.3.0"
=> reinstalled Motorola Device Manager (get it there : motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481 , sorry new users cant post links)
then I plugged back my phone in fastboot mode and Windows correctly installed the drivers
dont have the phone anymore, but thx for sharing your experience, might be useful if anybody meets this problem again in the future.
have a nice week.

Flashing CWM recovery on a mac

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.

Windows 7 not recognizing Moto X in bootloader mode

I think I have a driver problem. I downloaded the most recent drivers for the Moto X from motorola. But when I am connected to my Windows 7 PC, it doesn't recognize my Moto X in bootloader mode.
This is what it shows in Device Manager when my phone is in bootloader mode connected to my Windows 7 PC.
Also, I have PDANet installed, so not sure if that causes a conflict. What can I do to correct this driver problem?
Thanks!!

yes, I downloaded and installed the Motorola Device Manager as instructed and I have USB debugging enabled. When I am not in bootloader mode and my Moto X is connected, this is what i see - Mot Composite ADB Interface, which I believe is the correct driver.
But in bootloader, it is the Mot Single ADB Interface. I am wondering if that is the issue?
When I type adb devices, it says list of devices attached but it does not list any devices. If I type fastboot devices, it lists my device. So fastboot works but adb doesn't.

I have tried 2 USB cables, one is a brand new USB cable and I have used both USB ports on my laptop. There are other people online I can find who had this same issue, but not much info on how to resolve it.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Motorola Device Manager, which installs the drivers, 3 or 4 times now. Rebooted my laptop and my phone several times. Uninstalled PDANet in case that was an issue.
Fastboot works, adb doesn't.
I would like to manually install the Mot Composite ADB Interface driver while in the bootloader mode, but I can't seem to find where it is on my computer.

right click on the Mot Single ADB and uninstall then move the usb cable to a different port and let it reinstall then try again i know you dont have to have the SDK installed because i dont and my phone works fine. also try using a different cable some phones are really picky when it comes to what cable you are using

When I did that, I removed the Mot Single ADB Interface software from my computer and then it failed to install Fastboot ghost s. I need to find out where the Mot Composite ADB Interface driver is on my PC so I can manually install it. Where should I look for it?

Now is when I installed safestrap maserati version...... I then installed safestrap via the app. It said installation complete and status Installed. So I turned the phone off and then back on.
Sure enough there was the little safestrap robot staring at me.
So I tried to boot into SS..... but it just goes to a black screen and hangs there. It will not let me in..... I have been fighting this for a couple of days...... please help!

Could try
Power off, Hold M key, Power on, release buttons at

Ok what is the M key? Excuse the ignorance
so let me say what I think you said. 1.Power off
hold m key then power on while still holding the m key
release them when the boot mode selection menu comes up.
use volume down to bp tools
Select bp tools by pressing volume up.....
should boot direct to ss.
Is that right?
again....don't know what the m key is though.
thanks in advance bud!

Hey, thanks a bunch for the video! I'm having that problem with the moto drivers not installing correctly and I've looked all over the place, no luck so far on figuring it out. I even found the instructions on their site for developers to use to install the ADB driver but they're less than helpful. Do you have any links / resources I can check out? Any Linux alternatives to the Windows SafeRoot method?
I installed the drivers on Win7 home premium after plugging in the phone a few days prior. I didn't find the video where you said not to do that until later. Now it shows up under "portable devices" in device manager. I've tried flipping debug mode on/off, changing the usb pc connection settings from mtp to camera and back to the top option, uninstalling, reinstalling, no luck.
One thing that might be relevant is the instructions from the moto site mentioned that I should be able to just start using adb in the command shell after installing the driver, and I can't do that. It says to type "adb devices" to get a list of connected devices but I get "adb is not a valid command". I don't have that link available but I can try to post it tonight.
Thanks in advance!

One thing that might be relevant is the instructions from the moto site mentioned that I should be able to just start using adb in the command shell after installing the driver, and I can't do that. It says to type "adb devices" to get a list of connected devices but I get "adb is not a valid command". I don't have that link available but I can try to post it tonight.
Thanks in advance!

connect Droid 4, in device manager uninstall the droid 4, delete drivers if it is an option, reinstall drivers, reboot pc
If you get drivers already installed message, try my drivers folder
