[Q] Adb problems on non DE Verizon moto x

I have an unrooted non Deceloper Edition Verizon Moto X. I am having trouble using adb commands from the terminal emulator. Specifically I am tying to use wake lock detector on kit kat without rooting my phone using the instructions here goo.gl/Yqdh2F
I've installed USB drivers from the Motorola Device manager, and I'm able to run adb commands from adb/fastboot on my PC, but when I try confirming the connection on the phone side using the terminal error, I get the following error /system/bin/sh: adb: not found. Does anyone know a way around this without rooting?

How can I get the watch to be recognized as an ADB device in Recovery Mode?

Whenever I try to adb sideload the latest OTA either with the Stock recovery or TWRP the watch just disappears, is no longer recognized as an adb device, or within the device manager, what I'm doing wrong?
The watch is recognized as an adb device in fastboot or with Android up and running.
I've tried reinstalling the drivers, nothing...

adb backup

I can't get the adb backup interface to show on the phone. adb is working, device is recognized. I've tried both NRT adn from command line (Windows machine)
I'm running the M Dev Preview 3
I don't have any screen changing apps installed, device is not rooted
Any thoughts?

just to give a little more information. I'm running the following adb command
adb backup -apk -shared -all -f C:\temp\Nexus6_2015-10-5.ab
It tells me to unlock the phone and confirm but nothing shows up on the phone
adb devices shows the device
adb reboot will reboot the phone
makes me think adb is working

Figured it out
Downloaded the SDK via android studio and ran it that way instead of through the WugFresh directory

Cannot use adb in TWRP.

Hi.
I'm trying to use adb push when booted into TWRP and for some reason the phone is not being seen when I type adb devices.
I've installed the Motorola Drivers and a Android Tools rar package from these boards with adb and fastboot etc. inside it. My phone is seen when it is booted to Android but in TWRP it is not.
Do I need anything else installed?
Thanks.
