Trying to follow the payton install instructions, which does mention Windows, Linux and macOS, and jumping deep down the rabbit hole, brings me to the conclusion that any successful flashing of /e/ requires installation of Motorola drivers only available for Windows and macOS. Could someone prove me wrong, please?
My target platform is a Moto X4 (payton), XT1900-7, and the problem I encounter is very similar to the one in this post about a Moto G7, which was only successfully worked around by switching to macOS.
I get stuck at step 4 of Unlocking the Bootloader from the payton instructions linked above. I.e. when running fastboot --verbose oem get_unlock_data, no output at all is given. Instead fastboot hangs (for hours, presumably forever) until the USB cable is unplugged.
Am I reading the instructions correctly? One thing I find unclear is when TWRP should be installed. That could be better explained. My understanding is that the unlocking likely needs to have happened prior to installing anything, including TWRP. Is safe to assume that how it works?
So it seems to not be an issue with Linux as such, but something more intricate which I do not intent to spend any further time on investigating. My strongest suspect is that the problem might be related to having several virtual machines sharing the same hardware and being configured to have concurrent USB access.
The failing host is an ancient Debian Jessie installation with virtualbox 4.3.36-dfsg-1+deb8u1 including its extension pack (unknown version). It is purely used for hosting virtual machines. While the plan is to decommission this legacy software before it becomes vintage, it does actually work mostly flawlessly. No previous USB devices have ever failed, and I have used quite a few different ones. Devices are selected for passthrough to the relevant host based on product and vendor id.
Motorola Device Manager contains USB drivers and software to connect your Motorola phone or tablet to your computer using a USB cable. For certain Android-powered devices, Motorola Device Manager can also update your software. Mac (Mac OS 10.5+) and Windows (XP+) versions of the app available to download.
Hey, Pongy92.
I see that you're having an issue with the Bluetooth drivers.
The only solution here would be to wait until the drivers are available.
The good thing for you is most of the drivers you need are backward compatible with Windows 8. Just not the Bluetooth drivers.
Here is a link to show you if your notebook has been detected.
I'm sure you can find 3rd party drivers but I would be cautious about that and what you're downloading.
It also allows you to flash or install Motorola Firmware on your Motorola Device using the official drivers. Here on this page, we have shared the Official Motorola USB Driver for all the Motorola smartphones and Tablets.
The problem is, Windows can't find the drivers for my Moto X. I have downloaded Motorola Device Manager (version 2.4.5) which is supposed to have all the drivers but still my Windows can't find the driver. And before anyone asks, yes, I do have debug enabled in the settings of my phone.
So here comes the funny part..... I have tried this same thing with another Win7x64 Ultimate real machine and a Virtual Machine (running inside my own PC). At first Windows couldn't install the debug drivers...but then after I download the Motorola Device Manager it installed the debug drivers and I was able to use the phone for development.
BUT in all the other two computers (in which the drivers were successfully installed), this is how my phone is listed, before I install the Motorola Device Manager (which contains all the drivers):
So, in order to try to fix this, I tried to force a driver installation. I found the driver myself under "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Motorola Shared\Mobile Drivers\Drivers" and inside motoandroid2.inf I could find a driver called "Motorola ADB Interface" and even my phone's VID/PID was inside this same driver's file!......BUT it didn't work!
I still can't use this phone in debug mode, I can't make Android studio see when it's connected, and I also tried to change Google's default driver android_winusb.inf including my phone in there, using this tutorial, but again nothing happens.
Even I was suffering from same problem. I am not sure but this problem is occuring while we use 64 bit OS. I tried the same setting on 32 bit windows 7 and it is working fine.
He was out on the track for several laps and then came in to change drivers, and so the crew could collect some data from the car. As soon as he climbed out, removed his helmet and safely gear he came right over to me with a huge smile on his face and big thumbs up for how much he like the improved performance of the shifter with the JBR heavy knob installed. He was air shifting like he was banging through the gears to demonstrate to me how much better it was. I was just ecstatic.
Hello,
I recently purchased 3 dual DC motor controllers from Sparkfun (Monster Moto Shields) to control 6 DC motors. I was able to successfully program 1 motor controller to control 1 or 2 DC motors using Sparkfun's example code (SEE BELOW), however, I would like to control 3 motor drivers (ultimately 6 DC motors) simultaneously. How can I adapt the code to accomodate the 3 monster moto shields?
I have similar problem in our current study. We must be able to control 5 dc motors using 3 monster moto shields. Did you ever figure this out? I don't know what to do about this problem. If yes, would you share the solution? Thank you very much
Each motor on the monster moto requires 3 pins to control it. One of these must be a PWM pin. Plus 1 analog pin for current feedback if you need that feature. That is 15-20 pins. More than an UNO but you probably already know that.
MorganS, hi. We have been using a dual Monster Moto Shield Driver together with an Arduino Uno to control two DC motors. Then another Monster Moto Shield driver and an Arduino Uno to control the other two dc motors. And we also did the same for the last dc motor. So, there are three monster moto shield and three arduino unos to control all the dc motors. Our problem is that we don't know how to control the three motor drivers simultaneously.
If you can combine or hardwire some pins then maybe an Uno can do it. For example, maybe Motor2 always drives forward but you need to control its speed: then you wire A2 to 5V, B2 to ground and connect only the PWM pin to the Arduino.
I have several tools and drivers with replaceable tips but I seem to not have one small enough to fit these screws. What is the exact size of the screw/s so I can get a new tip or whole driver off of Amazon? Thank you!
you only need one screwdriver (T3 Torx) to open up this phone. If you don't have money to spend on this kind of items (tools) just buy the T3 Torx screwdriver. But if you have the money i would recommend Ifixit pro toolkit. And a quick tip buy all tools from ifixit (if your money allows) because they have life time warranty.
It been like that since I started driving, Welcome Break are by far the best services I think, fairly decent showers, usually priced between 18-21, if you park at Sedgmore, Gordano or Michael Wood, for your 19 you get a 8 meal voucher to spend on anything.

Parked in Medway services tonight, paid for my meal with the Moto App 40% off, absolute bargain, will use my Meal Voucher at Costa in the morning, probably with along with a 20% offer on the Moto App, he he.
Why people persist in using MOTO they have made it quite clear that they do not want drivers using their services I have complained to them about having to pay 10.15 for a coffee and sausage and bacon roll at Forton Services response was there are plenty of other places you can use, so guess what that is exactly what I do Greggs large coffee, sausage and bacon roll 3, Subway egg sausage and cheese roll with a coffee 2.30 it is not rocket science just go elsewhere

Step 2. Plug in your phone to the computer using (#4) miniUSB to USB cable and install the drivers. Windows will ask you to install the drivers once the phone is plugged in, so just point it to the right directory where you unpacked them
If you grab the kernel source code for the kernel you're running, and look at the drivers/net/usb/cdc_ether.c file, you'll see that error message is coming from the usbnet_generic_cdc_bind() function. Notice that there appear to be a few "quirks" in that function to handle unusual cases that some devices present. Perhaps your phone is in need of a new "quirk".
Also, notice that there's many places in that function that can cause that message to appear (all those "goto bad_desc" lines). The good news is that most (but not all) of them will put something in the logs if the kernel is configured to do so.
