Moto G USB Problem - General Questions and Answers

Greetings, everyone!
Okay so a few days ago I fell asleep while using my phone, a Moto G 2014 (XT1068). At one point I wake up to see a window saying something along the lines of 'Updating X of X Apps" on a black screen. I put my phone on my bedside table and fall asleep again. When I wake up, the phone's off so I assumed it was done doing whatever it was doing (which I now think it was some sort of system update), so I turn it on only to find out it gets stuck in the Motorola logo loading screen. I've left it like that for maybe an hour and it's just stuck there. I've accessed Fastboot to try the Recovery option but it just returns a 'Boot Up Failed' message and if I choose the 'Factory' option (which I assume is a factory reset), it also gets stuck in the Motorola logo loading screen. The other options are 'Normal PowerUp', 'Barcodes' & 'BP Tools', none of them doing anything either. Upon some research, I figured it was probably some sort of update that crashed down the whole thing and that apparently a way to solve this would be to flash the phone with the Stock ROM, which I've already acquired (and hopefully it's the right one). Now, thing is, I need to connect my phone to the computer, which is running Windows 10, while on the Fastboot menu. This is where the problem comes in. I never enabled USB Debugging in the settings. I've also installed the Motorola Device Manager from the Motorola website because apparently it installs the drivers for the phone, but after installing the MDM countless times, I just don't see drivers anywhere. I've checked the Device Manager on Windows and there's no track of my phone's drivers in there whatsoever. There's no 'Other Devices' tab anywhere and my PC doesn't do that "device was plugged in" sound effect when you connect something through USB. I've downloaded ADB Drivers and different versions of Motorola Drivers but nothing seems to work. I've tried 6 different cables in 10 different ports, still nothing. The phone charges but it's like the PC doesn't detect it. While on the Fastboot menu, according to a few videos I've watched, it is also supposed to say a USB Cable is connected when you connect the phone to the computer, but even though my phone is connected to my PC, that never shows up. I don't know if this is because the drivers might not be installing on my computer or if it's because I never enabled USB Debugging in the settings. I've seen some people say it doesn't need to be enabled while in Fastboot but I don't know if that's true or not. So I'm pretty much out of ideas at this point, do you think something might be done?
Thank you in advance,
- Nervly

Hello, did you try typing in `fastboot devices` while in fastboot ?

Hey, thanks for replying!
I did, but it wasn't recognized. I also tried 'adb devices' but it just returned an empty list of devices attached. Any other commands just returns <waiting for device> and I'm guessing this is all happening because the drivers might not be actually getting installed (considering there's no track of them in device manager) and/or because my PC doesn't detect the phone as connected through USB (even though it is). The PC doesn't play the sound effect of when you connect something to it and the fastboot menu doesn't display the message "USB Cable Connected" (or something along those lines).

Using a windows 10 and installing drivers may require you to disable drivers signature enforcements

Also go to device manager then press the view drop list > show hidden drivers
Check if the drivers are already there
If they are right click on them uninstall and reinstall drivers

I'm off to a job interview right now but I will try the disabling drivers signature method you suggested once I get back.
As for the device manager, showing hidden drivers still doesn't list the phone's drivers or the 'Other Devices' tab, sadly. Perhaps after I disable the drivers signature enforcement and try to install the phone's drivers again it will work. I'll keep you updated!
Thank you for the help thus far!

Alright, I just got back and tried to disable the drivers signature enforcement thingy but it sadly still didn't work. The drivers still won't show up on the Device Manager and my phone still won't be detected by the computer. What's weird is that it seems like the drivers are being installed because there are some .sys files related to Motorola in my C:\Windows\System32\drivers folder but nothing will detect them.

Fastboot drivers aren't same as USB drivers
They differ so if you want to work with fastboot you need fastboot drivers

[Solved] [Q] Bricked Help!

I am afraid I have made a very big n00b mistake.
Let me just say to prior to this goof up, I was well informed of the rooted SG4G world and had successfully flashed CWM and was running on various custom kernels and tweaks. I am currently abroad and had to revert back to my unlocked SG4G as my phone abroad, so my knowledge of the rooting world became somewhat diminished. Now here lies the problem. Earlier this morning, my phone had a random reboot. I decided to try and flash another kernel that I had saved on my phone via SGS Kerenel flasher(which I have used successfully used before). However, I think i may have reverted to the stock kernel that did not run well with all the tweaks I had previously installed. Now when I boot up, I get stuck on the SG4G screen (only for T-Mobile screen). I rebooted into recovery mode but it appears as if I have lost CWM, therefore I can not do a nandroid back up.
My question is: How can I restore my phone and make a nandroid backup without CWM?
I already took matters into my own hands and tried flashing CWM via Haeimdall through the kernel that is suggested in "The Definitive Noobs guide to Flashing and or fixing the SG4G" but Heimdall does not seem to recognize my device. It does say "Device detected" when I enter download mode but it is not giving me the option to click "Start."
Help will be much appreciated since I am relying on my phone while I am abroad and need to fix this ASAP.
Much appreciated and again,
Sorry for the n00b mistake
Take note of the 'kernel' in SGS Kernel Flasher. Not ROM flasher.
Follow the guide in the second link of my signature.
Thank you for the prompt response lumin,
I have followed your guide to the bone but I am unfortunately stuck on a certain step. When I reboot my phone into "Download mode" and connect the USB cable, nothing happens. The command prompt just says "Ready for Flash" and does not proceed to the "Installing Drivers" step.
Any thoughts on this?
I hope this does not mean my phone has become a paperweight and that my computer no longer recognizes the phone via USB .
Edit: According to Heimdall the Device status says "Connected" but according to the the command prompt it says "Device not connected" and "Ready for Flash"
Also, when I first plug in my phone, Windows 7 tells me the "USB device is not recognized"
Hope this doesn't mean we've hit a dead end...
Did you read the notes about removing other drivers that may have been installed on your computer for your phone?

Yes I did. I installed usbdeview before I began the process and deleted anything Android/Samsung related.
Windows doesn't seem to recognize my phone but Heimdall does say the "Device Status" is connected.
Any other thoughts?
When I first connect to my pc (holding buttons to get in download mode, gb bootloaders) I get same msg. But, once I press the volume button and enter download (Andy & shovel screen), the computer(Odin) sees it and that not recognized pop up goes away. Are you sure you got a proper/good cable?

If Heimdall see's it, it's soft bricked and fixable by flashing the right stuff. Still getting into download mode, it can be fixed.

That is great news.
But how exactly do I flash "the right stuff?"
I noticed that when I plugged my SG4G to attempt the "Installing Drivers" step via CMD, my laptop installed the drivers automatically and said "the device is ready to use." Does this constitute as "Installed Drivers" step completed and I can proceed to flashing KJ6 Heimdall via one click?
Thanks,
Eurik

I am using a data cable that I believe is from an old "V-cast" phone. I am not using a Samsung Galaxy USB cable but I have not had a problem with transferring files to and from my phone from my laptop so I assume it is not the cable... unless I am mistaken?
Use your cable that came with the phone. Just because the cable will transfer files doesnt mean it will work with heimdall.
You keep mentioning installing drivers through cmd line. While it does show the cmd line in the background - Zadig should open giving you a GUI to install/replace the drivers.
Is Zadig opening when you run the One-Click? Also, do you still have Samsung drivers installed on your computer? Go to My Computer > Uninstall Programs and look.

Hello lumin and thank you again for your prompt responses,
I checked again to see if there were any drivers installed and you were in fact correct. The KIES program slipped by my findings. I uninstalled it and again uninstalled anything Samsung/Android related via usbdeview.
I thought this might do the trick but Zadig is not popping up when I plug my USB cable in my "Download ready" Samsung. The CMD does read "Ready for flash" and Heimdall says its connected. Should I just go ahead and run Heimdall? WIll Zadig pop up after I click the "flash" button. If I am not mistaken, your tutorial says it should automatically pop up, which in my case, it is not.
Also, eollie did mention I need a the Samsung Galaxy S USB cable that came with my phone. I am not currently using that. Could the cable be the culprit to my issue?
I really appreciate everybody's help to my problem.
Thank you all,
Eurik
If it says connected in Heimdall and flash is enabled - then yes - flash. It does not have to be a Samsung cable. The cable will either work or not work. And it sounds like yours is working.

Alright lumin,
One more step complete, one more problem.
I got to the step where Zadig shows up. The drivers even installed and I got a message saying my "Device is ready to use."
Now the new problem.
When I select "List all devices" I do not see the option to select "Samsung USB Composite Device."
4 devices are listed and the include: HP webcam-101 (Interface 0). HP webcam-101 (Composite Parent), Gadget serial, and Gadget serial Control (interface 0).
No Samsung USB Composite device though.....

[Q] [HELP]Moto G (4.4.2) USB debugging wont work

Hey guys, i have the following problem.
So I want to unlock the bootloader of my Moto G but to do that I must use USB debugging. But if I use the command "adb devices" it gets always shown as offline. So I did a little research and found out, that since 4.4.2 a Pop-Up should show up to allow USB debugging with the connected PC.
Problem is this Pop-Up won't show up...
Could you please help me. I couldn't find a solution. Really frustating
Have you enabled USB debugging in Developer Options in settings?

For my XT1031, I had to use the Motorola USB drivers for ADB to work, and Kush's Universal ADB drivers for Fastboot to work.
And if you are using Windows 8/8.1, then you have to disable to forced signature verification in order to install the Universal ADB drivers.
Also, for ADB to work in Windows, I had to set the phone's USB computer connection to Camera (PTP), instead of Media Device.
I'm using Motorolas Drivers. I downloaded them from the official website.
My ADB is also on the latest version (1.0.3.1). Also tried to factory reset my phone. Nothing works, the pop-up wont show up...

Dude, you need to follow the instructions step by step and provide more info about what's going on.
1. Is your "Enable ADB debugging" enabled? You said yes.. does your phone show "Android debugging enabled" icon when you plug it into your computer? If not, you don't have it enabled !
2. If you see the notification, go to Device Manager (hope you are using Windows, or I can't really help you), then can you find your device there? If the USB drivers are installed correctly, then you should see "Android Device" then a "Motorola ADB Interface" inside it. If not, you will see a yellow exclamation with something like "Motorola device"..
3. Did you change your phone's USB computer connection to Camera (PTP)??
If adb says that the device is "offline" but you see its ID, then you didnt authorize (on the phone) the pc to access USB Debugging, its a new feature of 4.4.When you connect your phone, a prompt should appear (check the status bar if it doesnt), saying a computers with RSA Key XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX requested access to USB Debugging.
good luck
First of thanks for your help, much appreciated
1. Yes I have USB debugging enabled. If I plug in my Moto G a icon appears in the Notification-Center which says "USB debugging activated"
2. Yes if I go into the Device Manager I can see Android Device
3. Yes I ded change my USB-Setting to PTP
Any other ideas ?

Actually you do not need adb to unlock the bootloader only mfastboot which does not need adb to work all you do is boot into the bootloader then follow this

Hmmm... so.. what do you see when you type "adb devices" ?
Also, in your Device Manager, is the Motorola ADB interface properly installed? (no issues)?
And yes, to unlock the bootloader you just need Fastboot... when you boot to Fastboot and type "fastboot devices" do you see anything?
Okay, I will Unlock my Bootloader tomorrow but I would like to fix this issue, because I might encounter it in the future :/

You can revoke all authorized devices for adb access.The option is right below the USB Debugging switch in Developer Options.
Then reboot your moto g and try again.

[Q] Fastboot doesnt see my device

It is showing my device in "adb devices" when it is turned on, but it is not there when it is in fastboot mode, i cant flash any img, it stucks, i have done everything, unlocked bootloader, everything. But fastboot doesnt see my device, i have done a bit of research and i realised that it is showing SAMSUNG drivers under my ASUS device tab in that device manager, i have seen this problem in another topic and they said they have uninstalled those samsung drivers trough control panel and it worked for them, but i tried that and installed google drivers from google SDK, ASUS drivers that came with aus sync, both at once, then 1 of them and neither worked and i have tried like 95581546 things, reinstalling, uninstalling,restarting pc, disabling antivirus, and i cant get adb to see my device in fastboot. And in hdwwiz, when i am installing drivers manually it shows me Samsung drivers in Asus group and i dont know how to remove them from there. Or any ideas how i can get it to work?
Thanks

For me, it was a wiring problem. I hadn't got the original wire plugged, but a second one bought in ebay. Then I used the original one, and problem solved. I hope it is your problem.

Have you tried a different USB port on your PC? I know when I first started customizing my tablet I had problems using the front ports on my PC. It wouldn't recognize my tablet in fastboot, but when I plugged into one of the back ports directly on the motherboard it worked great.
Ehh
I have reinstalled drivers few times and plugged it to back of the PC and it works! It is still not showing my tablet in adb devices (now i am not sure if it should show it there in fastboot) but the img transfer has finished and everything is fine, thanks for all help!

[Q] fastboot, win7/64 drivers?

Hey all,
I've got a new-to-me TF700. Got CROMBi-KK installed, which took some backflips as I could not get fastboot connectivity.
I'd like to be setup for NvFlash (but then never need it), so even though I don't need fastboot right now, I'm feeling the lack.
Data transfer works fine.
ADB (not fastboot) works fine (adb shell gets me a shell, etc, etc)
When I put the phone in fastboot/bootloader "fastboot devices" gets an empty response "fastboot reboot" gets no response.
In Win7 device manager, the TF700, which appears in the "portable devices" section normally when I plug it in, does not appear.
So... probably device drivers.
Have you had this problem on your w7/64 box? How did you fix it? Sorry, but "install linux" isn't all that helpful.
Thanks!
From a semi-related question I'd asked, berndblb mentioned
berndblb said:
Windows is infamous for driver problems.....
Connect the tab in fastboot and open device manager. Near the top you should have an entry for Android device, bootloader mode or something similar, and probably a yellow ! next to it.
Right click it and choose "update driver", let Windows search for it.
If you're lucky it'll install the driver by itself.
If not: What Windows version are you running?

Yep, I get an "unknown device" in the USB section when I connect a TF700 in fastboot. Win can't find an appropriate driver. I've tried (manually) ASUS_Android_USB_Drivers and Universal_Naked_Driver_0.72 (both, AFAIR, from the xda tf700 forums). Neither worked.
So... if you got this going, what driver did you use? Thx!
I have a Win7 32 bit laptop and this cool little tool installed the drivers for me:

I'd installed that previously (easiest way to setup fastboot). Re-downloaded, re-installed. Went fine. Still no fastboot.
Unzipped the exe, looked at the drivers being installed - labeled "google". No google driver in the driver cache (so no device ever associated with it.)
Looked at the driver error again. Code 43. That means hardware or driver. I'd been taking it to mean driver, but... switched the USB cable to a port in the rear of the PC - and it worked.
Thanks!
So, for anybody with a similar issue, install the package above. If that doesn't work, maybe try a different USB port.

Question Fastboot not working in Windows 11 [Resolved]

Hello!
I cant get my Windows 11 virtual machine to detect my Xiaomi 12 when its in Fastboot mode. Does any one happen to have any ideas to solve this?
It shows up as 'Android' in device manager. I've also attempted to install a drivers manually and none of them seem to be acceptable. Weirdly, my Xiaomi 12 is recognised when its in regular, usb transfer mode and the MiUnlockTool by Francesco Tescari even recognises it then too. For context, debugging mode and enable bootloader settings have been enabled in MIU 13.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

First thing to do is install this device drivers https://androidmtk.com/download-xiaomi-usb-drivers , then reboot and try to reconnect your device. This may fix our problem.

Thanks for the suggestion! I will attempt these. Fingers crossed
I have previously attempted to install adb driver but had some trouble. When installing using Device Manager, the locate .inf dialog refuses to accept my selection. I dont seem to be any error. When attempting to do so via the folder (and sub folders) it says no drivers found. Perhaps i'm doing this totally wrong?
Thanks again for your suggestion @WhiteCoffeeCat .
I've attempted to install the drivers. The Qualcomm worked fine but I've been unable to install the ADB driver. I've tried to bypass driver signatures and ect and even that didnt work.
So as of now, when my Xiaomi is in fastboot mode, it shows up as 'Android' in device manager.

Put Windows into testing mode before installing drivers in Miflash, adb.. Run cmd prompt as admin and type bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON or bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF for disabling testing mode.
Thanks @Stefke93 ! I gave that a try but still had the same outcome as before.
That said, I did find a way to resolve the problem i had....So i was able to install the ADB drivers in Device manager, I added a legacy hardware, selected Universal Serial Bus Function devices, and from their i found ADB usb driver. After that, it started to work fine.
Thanks everyone for the help. Got there in the end... I guess due to my back luck so far i was due a win... i didnt have to wait to unlock, i could do so immediately.

Hello, the same thing happened to me yesterday, I'll explain: you connect your Xiaomi 12 in fastboot mode, you right click on My PC and select manage, device manager, select the android device and right click, update driver, search for driver in my PC, choose drivers available on my PC, show all devices, use disk and look for the folder where you have saved the file that I am attaching (android_winusb), select Android ADB Interface and click Next, Done.

Thanks, but that doesn't help, otherwise I've already done it. I had m1 mac and with parallel desktop only the possibility to install win 11.. win 11 sucks.. I installed win10 on an intel mac in parallel and that solved my problem

Hey,
So I had so many issues installing the drivers to allow my VM to detect my phone in fastboot mode.
This is what worked for me (quote below). I swear I attempted this a number of times with different cables and it eventually worked. Mine seemed to work with an apple usb C cable instead othe official xiaomi cable with a usb c converter for the m1 mac.

Hi Tek,
I have had many issues with windows and fastboot,
some cables would work with some of the ports and then not.
My pc has 12 usb ports, yet it was still hit and miss whether fastboot would work on my Poco F3.
I tried your tip and after using a cheapy Targus 4 port usb adaptor, my "FASTBOOT PROBLEMS ARE NOW SOLVED"
now what am i going to do with my 7 surplus USB-C Cables
Many thanks for your TIP
