Motorola device manager not working

[Vision919]

So I got my Moto G Power back in January (2020 version) and I decided to finally try to root. I installed all the necessary files including the motorola device manager. Now when I'm about to flash TWRP adb commands work but not fastboot, so I'm assuming it's a driver issue. It also says "Waiting for device" when I run the command: "fastboot flash recovery". The device manager also says that an icon will show when my device is connected, it doesn't. So that's why I'm asking this question, thanks guys.

Hi, welcome to AC!

Have you tried different ports or cables ?

So what computer are you using to run ADB? Linux, Mac, or Windows?
And just to clarify, you've already enabled USB Debugging on your Moto G?

Just assuming it's a Mac or Windows, sounds like you still need to get the Motorola Device Manager utility working first. Try running the installer again and then be sure to confirm that when you try to connect your Moto phone to your computer that it can actually detect it and it gets mounted. If your computer doesn't 'see' your phone, ADB won't either. (Actually no utility will, any USB connection takes place at a hardware level and then whatever program you're running as an admin or restricted user works off of that system-level connection).

If you're trying to connect your phone to your computer through a USB hub, try using a USB port on your computer instead. Or try a different USB cable.

I tried everything you said, tried 2 different ports and still the same issue :|. I do appreciate you responding quickly though. Here you can see that when I type fastboot devices it says nothing.

Thank you! Yes, I have.

 

[Vision919]

Tried everything you said, no change. I tried two different ports and reinstalled the device manager. I do appreciate the quick response though. I did type fastboot devices and nothing showed up, if that does help at all. (And yes I am on Windows and yes I do have USB debugging enabled)

If it doesn't recognize your device it won't work , try installing this minimal adb/fastboot

Sure thing, I will. Also sorry for messing up the reply and quote thing, I'm brand new to android central.

No problem

 

[Vision919]

Same thing :\

 

[mustang7757]

The only thing I can think of is try another computer or go on xda forums and see what they say there .

 

[Vision919]

Yeah, i already posted on xda and hit a dead end, which is why I came here. I can try to try another computer again, but I don't think that will work, Thanks anyways.
