Ok, I have this fairly serious problem and I've yanking the hair out of my head trying to solve it for the past 4 hours. I've finally resorted to your wonderful help. Please, please help. Allow me to explain.
I've had my Moto G for quite a long time and have run at least 5 custom ROMs on it. Just when I thought I was gettin' the hang of this ROM thing, I've had my first quite serious problem. In the past, the way I have installed my custom ROMs is by first, going to recovery (CWM Recovery) and wiping absolutely everything (data, system, etc.). Then, I would install the ROM and GApps via sideload. Everything was good up until this step. My problem is that ADB won't detect my Moto G.
If I type in "adb devices" I get a blank list. I've installed the Motorola Device Manager and the Google USB Drivers (from the SDK Manager). I've restarted my computer and phone multiple times. I've REinstalled the drivers. I've tried everything. If you guys have any suggestions that would be AMAZING!!!!
P.S. I can see my phone in fastboot when I type in "fastboot devices". But I really need access to ADB.
Thanks,

Hey all. Done a lot of searching and have tried a lot of solutions but I'm still having the same problem.
A friend of mine brought me her phone (AT&T HTC One X Plus) that she had soft bricked my trying to root and flash his own rom by herself. Trying to fix it, she accidentally relocked the bootloader and also wiped the recovery from the device. She said she wanted it re-rooted and CyanogenMod 10.1 installed. I told her I could do it for her. I have unlocked the bootloader through htcdev, flashed on the new recovery (using CWM v6.0.2.7) and now all I need to do is transfer the actual ROM to the phone and then install it. I can't, however, for the life of me get this phone to communicate with the computer/ADB. Fastboot recognizes it fine, I can type put the phone in fastboot mode and type 'fastboot oem get_identifier_token' and it will give me the identification number of the phone and other details, so I know it's communicating with it, but when I type 'adb devices', nothing shows up. And it's the "adb push filename.zip /sdcard/" command that I have to use. I have also tried going through the recovery and mounting the /sdcard/ and /data/ and /system/ to the computer, with no luck. Whenever I click on the "mount sd" through the recovery, the page just refreshes and puts my selection back at the top making no changes.
Whenever I plug this phone into any of my computers, all of the drivers install except for the HTC MTP driver, as seen here;

I have plugged an HTC One into the computer and it downloads all the drivers just fine and communicates with adb. Same thing with my Note 2.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks,

ADB only works when the rom is loaded with usb debugging on. It's a shell for command line direct to your phone. Furthermore, recovery does not use MTP, it uses generic mass storage device.
It seems you're not the only one having issues mounting with CWM. I don't know much about it because CWM has very little compatibility with the HTC ONEXL(This forum) whereas you seem to have the ONEXPLUS there. Different phone, but if TWRP is compatible with your phone you can try mounting using TWRP instead? I understand that at one point a specific version or set of versions perhaps(like I said, we don't use CWM much for this phone) had issues mounting so you can check to make sure you have the latest version of CWM as I am pretty sure they've since fixed the issue. If you are using the latest version, you can also try issuing "fastboot erase cache" while in bootloader/fastboot to clear cache which may fix your issue.
Good luck. For better help it may be best to post in the one x+ forum subsection.

Thank you, flashed over twrp and the computer recognizes it. Thanks so much for your help!
hello,
I hope someone can help me with my AT&T LG Optimus Pro G phone, which I have royally screwed up.
I was experimenting with the cyogen mod and after installation I installed the freegee app and once the cwm recovery was installed, I decided to go into the recovery by holding down up volume and power button.
Once I was in recovery for CWM i couldn't exit out, and the phone constantly booted into recovery after every reboot, even if i took out the battery, and powered it on.
I tried reflashing the cynogen mod through the sd card, and even though I would get success message the phone would still reboot into the cwm recovery.
I started doing research on the internet and i found file exitrecovery.zip that could be used to possibly get the phone out of the cwm recovery.
After installing exitrecovery.zip, I rebooted the phone, and now I have complete black screen. There are no light, no hints the phone is even turning on, and I can't get into recovery( or at least I can't tell). The only thing now is that when i connect the phone to the computer the window tries to install drivers for the device, and eventually prompts to insert a CD for LG drivers. I already have LGUnitedMobileDriver v.3.10.1 connection drivers installed from their website.
Please help, I am really stuck here..... and have no clue what to do. I am fairly new with rooting and modding, and I am extremely miserable.
The phone is still under warranty from LG. Anyone if all else fails, and since the phone has no screen or lights, whether they would replace it?
Attaching the exitrecovery.zip that I used.
sobbing....

hi, thanks for your reply. Again I very much new to the rooting and android OS tinkering, and nowhere close to an experienced user.
I tried to use google with your information in regards to how to use flow ROM with expansion.exe, but did not get any leads.
I would appreciate if you could elaborate more on this process.
When my phone is connect to the computer via usb is is constantly trying to install drivers. I had already installed LG usb connection drivers in the past and it was successful. It almost seems it tries to install driver yet fails after receiving no input from the phone, and then request LG CD with drivers.

Try to find driver on the web-site of producer. Set them. Overload a vehicle in Bootloader. In the controller of devices on компе must be determined your device. Then on a computer start sewing - .EXE.
Did you get this problem resolved? I have the exact problem with the exact phone!!!
thank you very much
I tried to install cyanogenmod 12 onto my Moto G (2013 XT1031), and it was stuck in boot for 10 hours, so I put it into recovery, plugged it back into my computer, followed a forum on how to fix it, and now the drivers are gone. My computer can't communicate to my phone through USB. So now when I type "adb devices" it isn't listed, so I cannot push a stock img file to my phone to fix it. I've been looking forever for a fix... Could somebody here help me if you have any idea what to do. Thx.
Add me on Facebook. I'll help you. I had the same problem. www.Facebook.Com/mykehdoom
I will post here what I did to fix it, (if I do fix it) just in case anyone else comes here to fix their problem.
You should always keep a backup or stock ROM zip on SD card or USB otg. And you shouldn't have this problem as long as you can boot to recovery. I've found the quickest way to get any Lollipop ROM to boot since the first official CM12 nightly is to install Donkey Kang kernel. Most of the time they'll stay on boot animation forever until I do. I have an XT1031 too. A Leaf micro SD card reader or a Leaf bridge are well worth the cash. They've saved me from having to use my PC to get out of a jam every time, and I've flashed almost every build of every ROM that will flash on this phone.

Have you tried restoring stock via fastboot? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
If you wish to keep the contents of the internal storage, skip the erase userdata part. At least until you can backup what you want off it.

No, the problem was that my computer could not do anything to the phone, they would not interact at all. ADB couldn't sense the phone. I did fix it, however. Here is what I did:
1.Open Device Manager
2.Plug in phone
3.See if a new device pops up when device is plugged in.
4.Right click the device: Properties
5.Update Driver
6.Browse Computer
7.Pick from list of Drivers
8.Uncheck "Show compatible Hardware"
9.Manufacturer: Motorola
10.Motorola USB Composite Device
11.Next
12.Follow through and wait for it to set up your driver, then device.
13.After that, adb could find my phone.
Hey folks,
I'm rather embarrassed that I have to ask for help here, but here we go:
I wanted to update my Moto G (1st gen) to Lollipop 5.1 (via this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-lollipop-rom-t3017510) and after toying around with it for a few hours got frustrated and did some stupid things, which I'm also having a hard time to remember.
From what I recall, I managed to flash the "GPE 5.1 ROM (Optimized) v1.1" ROM via TWRP, but when booting the phone got stuck on the BOOTLOADER screen for about 1 1/2 hours, after which I decided to turn off the phone.
After that I frustratedly started fiddling around in TWRP and wiped system, cache and some more things (derp :silly: ) and well... ever since then I'm trying to get a new ROM on my SD card, but I can't push via adp because my device is not found.
Here's the facts
- When I try to regularly boot up my phone, the Warning Bootloader unlocked sign appears
- I can access the fastboot screen on my phone (AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S) 41.11), the one where it says normal powerup, recovery, factory, barcodes, bp tools and qcom. When I connect via USB it says USB connected.
- I can get access the recovery rom TWRP (v2.8.5.0)
- When I try to push a ROM to my sdcard command line tells me "error: device not found".
aaand that's it. I really hope I didn't brick my phone.
I'm on Windows 7 x64 and I would really appreciate the communities help. After that I'll show myself out and leave my phone working for a while hopefully.
edit: one more thing. my phone gets recognized as "Fastboot falcon S" in windows when I plug it in while in fastboot flash mode and as XT1032 when TWRP is booted. obviously it doesn't get recognized as a volume in Windows Explorer, or I would have already transfered another rom on the SD card by now.
edit 2: I also tried connecting the phone via another windows 7 x64 laptop now. installed motorola device manager & minimal adb and fastboot, but same thing there. :|
edit 3:ISSUE RESOLVED for now. I used this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/gpe-lollipop-5-1-1click-installer-t3075522 and it worked like a charm. Thanks everyone.
@covecove until there is fastboot, there is hope.
Hey all, I've come for the help of those at a higher paygrade!
I've rooted, flashed and played with lots of phones in the past, but this one has me stumped. I decided to flash my XT1575 with LOS. Went through the process of unlocking the bootloader, etc. When I started the process everything worked fine, I was able to connect with ADB, fastboot, etc, etc.
When I unlocked the bootloader, I installed (and thought) the TWRP had held, but it didn't. If I boot the phone into recovery I get the dead Android with "No Command" (or something similar).
That isn't the problem (not exactly). Now my PC is acting up and doesn't connect to ADB. As soon as I unlocked the bootloader and connected to the pc, Windows started looking to install new drivers. Even with ADB debugging turned off, the Moto X isn't seen by the PC - even as just a device.
tl;dr I uninstalled everything related to ADB & Motorola. Reinstalled everything on the pc from a fresh boot and as administrator, but I am still getting driver issues. Even if I connect the Moto X to the PC in fastboot mode, I get a "Driver not found error" for the Fastboot clark S device.
I installed the latest Android SDK
I installed the latest Moto Drivers
Here's what I get:

Any thoughts??
Cheers, MadDogDean
PS. I've tried following a few threads already, but I keep stonewalling trying to get the PC to connect to the Moto X, in any fashion
There is joy in Mudsville today!!
OK, so after posting the above, (which I'll leave for anyone sinking in the same boat), I started poking around the programs/files.
It now appears there was a borked install/uninstall of an OLD, OLD Motorola driver. It didn't show in the Add/Remove programs nor the Start Menu. I deleted it (but didn't touch anything in the registry), uninstalled the ABD SDK and the Motorola Drivers. Rebooted and reinstalled everything. The deivce NOW was seen as an XT1575 and all drivers were loaded and runs like a tick!
Hope this helps someone else!
Cheers,
MadDogDean
