I have Virgin 1548 Moto G3 that is rooted and running CM12.1. I had no problems installing Motorola drivers when first getting the device to access the internal and external memory. Recently my sd micro card broke and I got a new one. Ever since using it I've been unable to use the MTP feature when plugged in via USB. I have android debugging enabled still. I've had this problem in the past with other phones. Does anybody have any ideas on how to get it working again?

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Motorola drivers and in the process of updating android studio.

Unfortunately adb is not running properly when doing command adb devices. I don't know what I've done.

Edit: fastboot works though, just no adb

What you see when run 'adb devices' command? If you see offline or unauthorized, you have not authorized in the device screen the adb connection from pc.

When i have problems with MTP i fix that simply removing the MTP device that appears in my devices administration. Just replug the device and the system recognices it again.

Thanks for the response. When doing adb devices command it says List of devices but there are no devices listed. Fastboot devices in fastboot lists my device. When plugging in the USB cable it trys to install drivers it always fails.

Again thank you for the response. I recently downloaded/installed android sdk tools and downloaded google USB driver so I think I have current. How do I install these? Im guessing I just replace in usb_driver folder. @jmadotme

Edit: when I look in device manager I see under portable devices MTP USB device instead of MotoG3 with yellow triangle and ADB interface with yellow triangle under other. Not sure what this means.

Force the update of the drivers for this device. Select the option to point drivers disk and select the INF file that come in usb_driver from the sdk manually. It says that is not compatible with your device, ignore that and select adb composite interface from the options list. Tell me if that works.

Thank you thank you, that worked. Adb devices now lists my device. One last thing though when connecting my device it still fails to install as MTP USB device so still no mtp. Gonna head to bed for now. Again thank you

I'm happy to hear that ;)

For MTP, remove from device manager list the MTP USB and check 'also remove drivers', in the next plug it's install again all needed drivers. It should work.

Well I can uninstall the mtp USB device but it doesn't give me the option to remove drivers. Unfortunately upon putting USB cord back in its still failing. I must be doing something wrong. Again thank you

In my windows 10 PC, on the first time I didn't need to install drivers, it recognised moto g3 in mtp mode and in adb. So, you could try to unistall the drivers you have or any motorola drivers program, turn on the internet, plug the usb and let windows search its database and install the drivers for you.
One other good option is installing motorola device manager, it contains the drivers needed: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481
