So apparently I can't reply to posts in development section, but I searched for a thread specifically on this and couldn't find it, so I'm sorry if there actually is a thread on this already.
I've been attempting to root my Droid Razr (XT912), which currently has stock ICS. None of the methods appear to be working, and it seems as if it's because I do not have an ADB connection (such as this one http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/4316/adbnc.jpg from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710871). Yes, I have USB debugging and "allow mock locations" both enabled. Yes, I have the most up-to-date Motorola drivers (I checked 3 times). Yes, I can install software from unknown locations, and I extracted the files from the .zip folder. This connection does not show up for me no matter what I have done so far, and any of the EasyRoot scripts always get stuck on "Rooting....daemon enabled" or something like that. I have no idea what to do now; any ideas?
Hmm if you have another computer, try installing just the usb drivers and then fire up the root package.
There are tons of issues with drivers. If you have adb installed, type in "adb devices" and if it doesn't show a serial number or a device id, its a driver issue. If it does show up, make sure you are using a usb 2.0 port as I have had issues using a usb 3.0 port for flashing via rsd/fastboot so that could be causing issues.
Other than that, I really don't have any other advice.
Edit
This is from the nexus 7 dev forums. Its a universal adb/usb driver that could do the trick. Give it a whirl and see if it works.

Hey, I tried to install the adb following the guidance of the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902860
but I found that after the step 1-3, in the "Device Manager" I couldn't see the "Other Devices" near the middle (will have a yellow exclamation icon, called NVIDIA harmony).~
All the things which related to the gtab in the Device Manager is the "protable Devices" and "NVIDIA Tegra 2 USB Device" under the "Disk drivers"
besides that，in the usbdeview, the related usb drivers also can't be found~
so what should i do to find my gtab in Device Manager and then install the adb drivers?
Thanks!
I had a similar issue once and uninstalling the usb storage driver allowed the device manager to find it again so I could manually chose the right driver.
I also tried to uninstall the "NVIDIA Tegra 2 USB" drivers...but when I unplug, and plug tablet back in, this drivers will be installed again!
Gentlemen:
See of this thread helps you. Sometimes you have to get rid of the stock USB
drivers to intall the right ones for ADB. I'm not an expert on it -- I've just read
about it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902860
Some where here there also is a link to the developers section at Tegratab where
there is a blog that explains this problem even further.
Maybe Google on ADB USB driver removal or some such and you should be able
to find it.
I had both the SDK and the NVFlash APX files and the stock tablet stuff on my
computer. I finally had to uninstall the SDK, and reinstall the NVFlash stuff to
get mine to working smoothly. If you want to use ADB you may have to research
further on the problems.

EDIT: Late at night. Bleary-eyed. Tired. Missed the first link. OOOOOOOps.
Try USBDeview
I had a difficult time getting the ADB driver to install. Device manager only showed the mass storage driver. Using USBDeview I was able to uninstall the problem driver and get the right driver going.
In the sticky link you referred to, second page, someone describes it in more detail.
Ok hopefully this helps someone. After flashing the amazing AOKP ROM (literally best ROM I've ever flashed...Holy stable batman) I noticed that on Win7 x86 or x64 that USB file transfer to/from SD card worked fine...as did Odin but Windows could not find a driver for my phone anymore. This creeped me out because this meant adb would not be able to connect. Running the adb devices command would not show anything.
I tried 3 different Win 7 machines and a WinXP machine all of them used to work but now they didn't I read the FAQ, I goggle searched xda and droid forums and tried everything, cables, switching USB ports, phone settings, dev settings, new usb drivers but, I could no longer get adb to connect.
So I started looking closely at the Samsung USB drivers I have on my machines which worked fine on stock ROMs, and a few other custom ROMs (not blaming AOKP no disrespect) and I found that the hardware id for my device changed and the device string wasn't referenced in any of the USB drivers files. So I forced the correct driver to install and it worked! So if that is all you need to know cool, if you some of you need the steps here they are:
I'm assuming you already have Samsung USB drivers and adb from the SDK installed (if not there's tons of info on this site to get both)
I'm also assuming you installed the USB drivers so they are in the default location, if you extracted a zip file or something you will need the path to the USB drivers
Last assumption... I tried 3 different versions of Samsung USB drivers and for each one the ssadadb2.inf that has the ADB driver was in the USB Drivers\16_Shrewsbury folder...If you don't find it there do a search in the USB Drivers folder and reference that location for step 13
Click Start button, then right-click Computer, then click Manage
Click Device Manager
Expand Other devices, you should see SCH-I500 with the yellow exclaimation point
Right-click it then click Update Driver Software
Click Browse my computer for driver software
Click Let me pick from a list of drivers
Scroll up, highlight Show All Devices, click Next
Click Have Disk
Click Browse
Browse to C:\Program Files\SAMSUNG\USB Drivers\16_Shrewsbury
Double-click ssadadb2.inf, click Open, Click OK
Highlight SAMSUNG Android Composite ADB Interface, click Next
You will get an "Update Driver Warning" saying cannot verify compatibility with your hardware, click Yes
You should see Windows has successfully updated your driver software, click Close
Back in device manager under ADB Interface you should see the driver name you just added....the entry under Other devices should be gone
Connect your data USB cable (not a charging only cable...if you can't tell the difference just be sure you used this cable for data before)
Open a cmd prompt (start>run>cmd enter if you didn't know)
browse to where you installed adb and type "adb devices"
You should see your device and a serial number again....back in business
Like I said no disrespect to AOKP I rock my B31 (soon to be 32) Pink Unicorn proudly This hopefully applies to anyone who had a hardware id change from any ROM.
Hi, I have a Scroll Excel tablet and was recently trying to flash CMW5 onto it using a recovery from the scroll forums, however in the command prompt whenever I type in the command ("adb push install-recovery.sh /data/" in case that helps) it says the daemon isn't running, then it starts the daemon, then it says "Error: device not found.
I've checked everything, I have correctly navigated to the folder which holds the recovery, I am entering the recovery name correctly, I do have the Google USB Drivers etc.. installed, the device is plugged in (and the computer knows it is, it detects it) but the prompt doesn't recognize the device.
There is one thing though, whenever I plug it in the computer tells me the device is not recognized, but it at least acknowledges that the device is there. Am I missing any drivers on my tablet's side or what? Thanks
Also, I attached a file of what the prompt tells me below v
I do not have this tablet so I cannot give you an exact answer. However, I would try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and restarting your pc. Also try a different usb port.
As stated in the post above, I would check my Drivers. I would also suggest checking your USB Cable. Make sure that it is good. Is your SDK Tools up to date ? BTW that seems like an odd path for your platform-tools folder.

It can't be the USB cable, I've tried 2 or 3. Also, yes. I updated the SDK tools yesterday. And I know it's an odd path, but I'm a bit OCD about keeping things in folders.
However, about the drivers, the computer says it doesn't recognize the device. And when it scans for the drivers it doesn't find anything to download. Regardless, Storage Options are willing to take a look at it for me (how nice, even with a technically void warranty.) Thanks for your help anyway.
I would definitely recommend re-installing the drivers. Then try again.

Hi, I'm new to the N9, have had the tablet about a week. I have tried connecting it to my windows 7 Pc and the N9 isn't recognized. I have tried all the basics, all drivers are current, set tablet to mtp, and not found. I have connected to a friend's Windows 10 PC and the N9 is found immediately. My N9 is a wifi only device, non rooted. I have 2 other Android devices that my W7 PC finds with no issue. Anyone else experience this, and or have any suggestions on how to fix this issue ? Not looking to root at this point. Any help and guidance would be greatly appreciated
I think there are many threads about this problem. Nexus Root Toolkit has a driver installation feature.
If you were starting from scratch I'd delete any unknown "tablet/usb" devices in Device Manager - look for the also delete drivers option.
Google's W7 installation instructions are here http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html#Win7
On this page http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html is a link to download a zip file of the drivers (not the full SDK package) Click here to download the latest Google USB Driver ZIP file.
This software http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html is possibly better than device manager in deleting drivers
In some cases, you need to enable ADB on your N9 before plugging it into your PC (Settings -> Developer Options -> Android Debugging).

Thank you for your help, I had already tried all of this, but tried once more in case a step was missed. Every other Android device I have, or had never gave me an issue like this. The 2 android phones I have connect to pc without a problem, I am at a loss, lol.
When deleting drivers, should I have deleted all drivers for all devices, or just the ones installed from N9 ? Thanks again for your help

I've not got access to a Windows 7 PC. Does this page help http://www.topnotchtablets.com/FixUSBproblems
A basic one. I don't think it's relevant until you have a connection. Do you know that the N9 USB connection defaults to "charging only" and you need to pull down the notification menu to enable MTP to see the device contents
In USBDeview
Expand the window there are a lot more columns
There is a "connected" y/n column. I'm not certain that this works as expected, I can connect a tablet and despite an F5 refresh or a restart of the program it will stay a "No"
Look at the VendorId column AFAIK everything Google Nexus related has an ID of "18D1"
Have tried to establish what, if anything pops up in Device Manager when you plug in the N9 so you can disable it? Nirsoft have a program http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/device_manager_view.html that gives a table view of all devices - no clicking to expand trees

Thank you for your help I greatly appreciated it. After trying pretty much everything, I decided to see if the ruu's for my two phones would run on W10. They did, so I then proceeded to update my W7 to W10. N9 communicates perfectly now with my PC. Thank you

Make sure you have your devices drivers installed. Search Google for them. You can most likely find them on XDA. If you can't you can find them on to Manufactured side. Where you can search for example Miracle box and then go to their site and look in their support section and you will for sure Find the drivers. Open device manager back up when you get the drivers. make sure you have your devices drivers installed. Search Google for them. You can most likely find them on SDA. If you can't you can find them on the manufacturer site. Or you can search for example miracle box ending go to their site and look in their support section and you will for sure find the drivers. Open device manager back up when you get the drivers after you've install them make sure that they're correctly installed if you still see in teepee like that right click it and then select the driver manually and scroll down through to you find your manufacturer and if you don't find your manufacturer find any other empty p if you have other device drivers like Samsung HTC excetera and that will work just fine. There you go. Just did this voice to text. So sorry for the chopping sloppiness and what not.
