PC won't recognize ADB interface. - Motorola Droid RAZR

So I have the OTA ICS update now. I want root again (didn't have it previously on this phone), so I decided I would try one of the "1-click" scripts. My problem now lies in my PC (win 7 64bit) and drivers I think. Downloaded the motorola utility to get all my correct drivers. When I plug up my phone, my pc downloads all the drivers, but it never downloads the Mot ADB interface one. I'm stumped. I've tried it on all 3 machines. I can transfer files and the phone mounts ok OTHER THAN the adb interface.
When I run adb shell it says "error: device not found"
Here's what I have done.
1. Uninstalled all my drivers
2. Re-installed all the drivers
3. Tried every USB port on the computer
4. Made sure USB Debugging was checked
5. Made sure my phone was in Media mode
6. Wiped cache and data
7. Tried it on other machines
8. Re-installed windows on 1 machine.
When I put the phone in AP Fastboot, then and ONLY then will the PC see the phone as an adb interface.
Any thoughts?

I think you need to switch it to a pc mode other people have said.

You use USB 2.0 ports?

Here's what my device manager looks like. As you can see, it has NO option of ADB anywhere! Thinking it might be this phone.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

You are correct. But its not prompting me even to install the adb interface. Thus the reason why I feel as though it is the phone and not the PC's. I run adb on my other phones just well.

Try typing
start adbd
In terminal emulator in your phone?

I'm going to assume you tried this link to get the drivers:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1539192
If not, uninstall all the drivers you have currently and reboot and then go to the link above and get the Moto drivers and RSD Lite.
Another link is here which really gets in-depth on getting ADB to function:

tried this and still failed. I've done it now on 5 machines. All have the same issue. None of them ever prompt me to install drivers for adb interface. terminal emulater doesn't do anything on my phone either. Bout to take my phone to verizon.

OK I am running emulator on my phone, and when I enter command "adb shell" adb starts and still says "error: device not found"
gonna throw this phone to the wall. Thanks for all the suggestions and help thus far. If I can't get it fixed by tonight, i'll take it to verizon tomorrow and have them send me a replacement.
EDIT: Plugged in my wife's razr with usb debugging and everything worked correctly. DEFINITELY the phone! Can't believe I have wasted this past 2 days on this!

I am having the SAME EXACT problem running the same version of Windows. I'm guessing you haven't found a work around as of yet, eh? I still have been unable to get Windows to recognize the ADB interface. Whenever I connect my Bionic, it finds/installs it just fine, but not so much with the Razr Maxx.
Have you attempted a factory reset at all? The issue began with me because I rooted the device, used OTA rootkeeper, installed the OTA, but then Rootkeeper was unable to restore root, so I also tried to use the 1-click scripts.

I had the same issue.. You need to download Matts utility 1.7 and then extract the zip into an (empty) folder. Then click the first file in your folder and click on the 64 bit. Let it install then run the utility.. Make sure your device is in USB debugging mode and that you have your storage device set to mtb.. Then click the root android 4.0.4 option and let the program to the rest! I hope this helps it sure helped me.

I had a very similar issue that was stopping me from re-rooting after I pulled the official OTA. At the end of it, my problem seemed to also center on not having the Mot Composite ADB Interface driver install when I connected the device by USB. I was running Moto Drivers ver. 5.7.0 (current) and successfully connected on other RAZRs, just not my current one. Same 'device not found' errors.
Connecting my device as a camera (PTP) fixed the problem (settings -> storage -> press the menu key and choose Camera (PTP). After doing that, windows installed the additional devices: USB Composite Device, DROID RAZR, and Mot Composite ADB Interface and I was back on track. Regardless of what I tried otherwise (including a wipe data) the ADB interface just wouldn't install until I connected as a camera.

EDIT: Just re-read the OP. Not just close. Sounds like you're having the SAME problem. Hope this helps.

At first I could not get this script to work. Apparently I had no ADB interface installed. What did the trick for me, was switching off the USB debugging, plugging in my Droid 4 a few times in camera, MTP and mass storage mode. That made my computer install all the necessary drivers.
Having done this, it all worked perfectly. Thank you very much! I am completely new to Android and XDA, and this almost foolproof script is excellent. :good:

So simple..
Had same problems with my new phone as everyone else, PC not recognizing ADB .... tried downloading a couple of different things from other advice as I don't know much about computers this just got confusing. All I had to do was turn off the USB debugging, plug in under the different USB computer connections and ta da!

No Storage Drives Show
Hi everyone.
First time I post on the forum, although I've been using it for quite some time.
This time I'm experiencing an annoying situation with which I spent many hours of my last two days.
Turns out my Windows (7 64-bit) won't display the mass storage drives from my Droid Razr (XT910 Model, Brazilian Carrier OTA).
The funny thing is that all Motorola Drivers are shown on Device Manager and when in AP Fastboot Mode, RSD will recognize the phone as connected and flash normally.
I am really out of ideas here. Did religiously everything written on this forum and many others:
Tried different cables and pcs
ReInstalled ICS OTA
Wiped cache/data
Factory Reset from Android
Tried to connect as Camera, Media and Mass Storage
Tried with USB Debugging both on and off
One thing that may have caused the problem, from what I recall, is I am running without the cid file, as I deleted it to install JellyBean through the steps suggested by "TheRazRGuy" here on xda.
Thing is, as I don't have the cid, I must boot through BPTools on bootmanager everytime the system is turned on. After I downgraded the JellyBean to ICS OTA again, I went on to root the device but forgot about the boot requirement I described.
After the easyroot first reboot, the screen went black as always when normal reboot without cid. Even though easyroot still rebooted 2 more times and displayed the "your phone is rooted" message, I thing something may have gone wrong on this process.
It is worth saying that with JB the mass storage was being shown and before the easyroot process too..
I am really out of clues here, hope someone can help!
