There are plenty of reasons for people wanting to connect a smartphone or tablet to a computer with the USB cable. Most of those reasons tend to be with having to do with transferring of data like music files, pictures, videos or getting stuff from the SD card. There are also many other times when people want to connect to use tools or apps on the computer. One example we like to hammer home is using flashing tools since we use some many of them here for a great many reasons such as flashing official software updates manually, installing custom recoveries and getting root access.
Whether you want to transfer data or you are a developer and wanting to use an app or tool on the computer the Motorola USB Drivers need installing before you can connect your Motorola mobile device to the computer and get that to happen.
Not everyone knows this, but USB Drivers are only required for Windows operating systems that are running on a computer. The way in which Microsoft programmed Windows to work has made that the case, but Windows also tries to work out what device you have after you do connect it to the computer and then install and run the correct USB Drivers for the device without you having to do anything which is always nice. However, it doesn’t always work out to be the perfect fairytale, and if you are not able to use an app or tool or transfer data, then the USB Drivers not being installed is likely the case.
Motorola has made the installation of USB Drivers an easy thing to do thanks to the Motorola Device Manager which is designed for us for one of two reasons: installing software updates than might be available for the device and installing the USB Drivers. Anyone who doesn’t like installing files as large as what the Motorola Device Manager file is can try installing the Universal Windows ADB Driver instead. The Universal ADB Driver comes with the correct drivers for almost all of the main manufacturers, and that does include Motorola, so all you need to do is download the file and open it up and run it, and the Motorola drivers are also installed.
