[GUIDE] adb and fastboot drivers for Windows

shaftenberg · Nov 21, 2013

If someone has problems installing the official Motorola adb and fastboot drivers for Windows, try the following, this works for me:

1. download the UniversalADB driver from @Koush here: https://github.com/koush/UniversalAdbDriver
2. install it
3. locate the file android_winusb.inf in the folder (may vary) x:\Program Files\ClockworkMod\Universal Adb Driver\usb_driver
4. open it with any texteditor
5. add the following two lines (somewhere in the devices section) and save the file:

Code:

MotorolaADBInterface	= USB_Install, USB\VID_22B8&PID_2E76&REV_0228&MI_01
MotorolaBootLoaderInterface	= USB_Install, USB\VID_22B8&PID_2E80&REV_0100

6. let Windows install this driver from koush's directory once in adb mode and once in fastboot mode (two drivers!)
7. enjoy!

Is the phone recognized by RSD Lite in fastboot mode with these drivers?

I have the Motorola drivers, using Windows 7 SP1 32-bit.
With USB debugging enabled I get a "Mot Composite ADB Interface" device in device manager (Driver Version 2.0.1.0).

The phone can be seen by 'adb devices' and in fastboot by 'fastboot devices' however using RSD lite 6.1.5 no device appears.

Got the same with the universal ADB/fastboot drivers

damn.

[edit]
The MotoG PID is missing in PST.ini and/or sdk_common.ini, maybe we have to add it manually or wait for a new RSDlite

I do not understand this instruction:

Windows doesn't attempt to do anything when I connect the phone in ADB mode. Device Manager lists XT1034 under Other devices and says "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)". If I do "Update Driver Software" manually and direct it to the "ClockworkMod" directory, Windows says it cannot find driver software for the device. If I right click on the "android_winusb.inf" file and choose Install, Windows says the "file doesn't support this method of installation".

adb devices does't see my moto g

fastboot devices yes, but adb devices only says List of devices attached.

Any help will be appreciated

The latest update of UniversalAdbDriver does not require those lines to be added. Moto G device configuration is added by default

Tested in win7 64bit.

I've tried this and when I try to install it, it says "The INF file you selected does not support this method of installation." What do I do?

To solve this when u are in ADB go in device manager, find ur phone with yellow exclamation mark ( !), right click, insta driver-> manual-> android single sooner ADB interface! It will work like a charm!

Sent from my XT1032 using XDA Free mobile app

I had a similar problem on W7 x64, no driver available for my phone (Moto G LTE, XT1039) even with the Universal ADB driver from CWM and the two lines of the first post added in the INF file.

But, you can notice that all Motorola phones in the android_winusb.inf file refer to the same driver : MotCompositeInterface.

So I went to the Device Manager, found my phone, chose to Update the driver, Find a driver from my computer, Choose from List (sorry if the names are not accurate, my Windows version isn't in English).
Then, you can select ClockworkMod, scroll down to Mot Composite ADB Interface and choose it as your driver.

It worked for me (both in adb and fastboot mode), I was able to unlock my bootloader and flash a recovery using it.

Hope this helps !

Hi, I tried all the solutions in this post unsuccessfully, but I found one here: stackoverflow.com/questions/22217792/android-moto-g-mobile-doesnt-show-in-the-devices-list-of-eclipse
that is the simplest and the only one that worked for me.

Download 'Adb Driver Installer' from here adbdriver.com/downloads/
after this connect your Moto G and start the AdbDriverInstaller.exe it will list your device and then press install.
