Motorola Device Manager does nothing - Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers

Has anyone else seen this behaviour:
1. Installed latest Motorola Device Manager (2.5.4) on Windows 8.1 with an active internet connection
Result: installer finishes and tells me to look for an icon in the system tray. There is no Motorola Device Manager icon in the system tray (and I have my system set to display all system tray icons)
2. Run Motorola Device Manager from the Start Menu entry with the phone plugged in and turned on
Result: "Device Software Update" dialog opens, takes a very long time "Checking for new device software" only to eventually state:
There are no updates for your device at this time.
Current version:
N/A

Click to collapse
3. Click OK
Result: nothing. No application runs, no system tray icon, nothing!​

Install the PC companion 2 first... can be downloaded from SEUS
Phone have to be TURNED ON and plugged to computer in debugging mode.In status bar you should have small triangle, and phone should make a small ring after connecting to pc.

Problem with step2.cmd

I've finally getting around to rooting my x10a, but I'm having a problem with step2.cmd. It echos it's schpeel that select option 6 or whatever, without any error (except for the normal "device not found"). I know that it's supposed to come up with a screen that you should select the 6th option on, but it's not showing up!
If anyone is wondering I do have USB debugging on and I have installed all the drivers.
EDIT: I did include the deviceid txt files inside both of the folders.
Actually, "device not found" is NOT normal. It shouldn't say that if it's working properly.
Steps 2 and 3 (and 5 for X10a) use ADB. There are a few things to check (I'll list everything I can think of, including ones you may have already done):
1. ADB doesn't require DeviceID.txt (it's for X10Flash), so it's not that.
2. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled on the phone (under Settings > Applications > Development).
3. Unplug the USB cable and plug it back in. On the phone, the notification bar should show "USB debugging enabled".
4. Make sure that the SD card is NOT mounted to your PC. The notification should show "USB connected", NOT "Turn off USB". If it does say "Turn off USB", then click it to turn it off.
5. In Windows, double-click on the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the system tray. There should be a device called "adb01 ADB Interface Driver". Don't remove it, just make sure it's there. Hit Cancel/Close.
6. Open Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del) and look for a process called "adb.exe". Click it and hit "End Process". Next time you start adb, it should load up the daemon again.
7. Have you tried rebooting your PC? How about your phone?
8. ADB connects using TCP. If you have a software firewall (e.g. ZoneAlarm, Eset Smart Security, etc.), it may be blocking access. Either make an exception, or just disable the firewall for now (don't forget to turn it back on later). No, a router doesn't count (the phone is connected through USB, not your network).
9. There may be a problem with your Sony USB drivers. Uninstall Update Service and PC Companion (if you have them), reinstall them, and then plug in your phone again so that the drivers are reinstalled. I had to do this to fix a different problem (that second USB Mass Storage device kept connecting and disconnecting).
Did you allow unknown sources?

I've done everything but that, which is not there, what should I do about that?
You know what, the laptop I'm using right now really sucks in the spec department, so it might just be that. Is there anyway to reflash it to rogers x10a?
is your laptop using vista 64? If it is follow this post to fix it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=713457

[How To] Install Preware for Homebrew Apps and Patches

All credits go to the author of the post I got form the site. I'm just sharing the Information. Thanks to user JCPDX at PreCentral.net
You can install Preware on the Touchpad for Homebrew Apps and Patches. Although not many apps, but hey, get what we can get.
There are a few patches that you can installed to greatly increase the performance on the Touchpad.
1. Muffle System Logging
2. Remove Dropped Packet Logging
Instructions to install Preware: (by JCPDX at PreCentral.net)
............**.. Important Note:. Make sure to update TouchPad with OTA webOS 3.0.2
[ If you have already intentionally or in error setup the TouchPad's "Developer Mode" password and are having install issues. On PC, with TouchPad not connected, do a Windows uninstall of "Novacomd" AND reboot the PC. Next on TouchPad in "Settings" \ "Device Info" \ "Reset Options" Click on "FULL ERASE" bar to kill the password setup on "Developer Mode" then continue to step 1. ]
1. On your Computer, with TouchPad not connected, be sure to Download the latest version of Jar file "WebOSQuickInstall v4.2.3.jar" [Download from here] to a new folder.
Note: The installation of WebOS Quick Install is possible without having any connection to the TouchPad. This is my preferred method so that install issues can be more easily isolated and diagnosed individually on either the PC or TouchPad.
2. Continue on the PC and find the folder you Downloaded Jar file "WebOSQuickInstall v4.2.3.jar" into. Install it now by double-clicking on that "WebOSQuickInstall v4.2.3.jar" file.
If Novacomd file/driver is not yet installed you will get a message that the driver will now be "auto" installed.
After install has successfully completed you should get an error message box showing that no device is connected to webOS. Just leave message box up on the screen.
3. On the unattached TouchPad enable the Developer Mode to install your third-party software:
Using "Just type..." type out: webos20090606 - OR - upupdowndownleftrightleftrightbastart
Next Click on the Developer Mode Enabler icon that appears. The very 1st time you do this Click the "OFF" button to "ON" (w/blue button showing) if it requests a password Leave it Blank and just Click "Submit" bar. After that 1st time it will just put your TouchPad in Developer Mode to "ON" - Do not Click on the Set/Change Password bar.
4. Now using the included HP TouchPad USB cable connect Your TouchPad to the PC's USB port.
Next the question box appears on the TouchPad "USB Drive" or "Cancel" - Important - Just ignore it and leave it up on the screen. [This will be the same as putting TouchPad in "Just Charge" mode.]
5. On the PC click "OK" in message box you previousy left up on the screen and WebOS Quick Install should now very quickly recognize the TouchPad. You now have full access to webOS homebrew feeds.
Now Click on the "Globe" icon located below plus / minus on the right side.
WebOS Quick Install searches the default homebrew feeds.
After all feeds finish loading you will be offered several tabs (applications, services, plugins, patches, kernel, themes ...)
Just stay in the "Applications" Tab and type in the search field "Preware". Now Click on "Install" and it will go into the install processing mode.
After "Preware" is installed, if you do not want to install other things, you can now close the WebOS Quick Install and disconnect the TouchPad USB cable from the PC.
You should now see the "Preware" app on your TouchPad in the "Downloads" section ready for your use.
You now have WebOS Quick Install (WOSQI) on the PC and the Preware app on the TouchPad with access to homebrew AND most comprehensive collection of third-party software.
In providing these simple step by step instructions primarily for those new users of the TouchPad, webOS, Homebrew... my goal is that the number of users will greatly increase for all of the above which in turn stimulates creation of more apps, tweaks, and OTA for the TouchPad in our future...

Cant access internal memory (from andorid and PC)

Hi guys.
Today i unlocked bootloader + flashed TWRP.
The system bootek ok but i had problem with accesing to internal memory (in phone and also via cable and filesharing/MTP)
So i made again full wipe in TWRP, it cound not boot so i reinstalled from TWRP whole system image, then full wipe.
Still i have the same problem: Cant access internal memory:
Meaning i cant create on internal memory any directory from Adnroid and also whn i am connecting it to PC, i cant do that either.
Any idea ?
The windows shows me that 100GB is free but still i cant write anything.
I only see "Android" Driectory with apps data in it.
Look in the device manager for the Android device, it's most likely going to have an exclamation next to it, right click on it, go to update driver, browse my computer, let me pick from a list, choose "Android USB", then it should be recognised properly.
If not make sure you've enabled "USB Debugging" in the developer settings (Tap build number 7 times to enable developer settings).
In your notification for your device you have to choose "Transfer files" instead of "USB Charging", just tap on the "USB charging this device" in the notification tray.
Are you sure you haven't messed up the encryption on the phone too? If so then you'll probably have to reset the phone back to factory defaults and start again.
See attached image for where it should appear in your device manager
It wasnt that, After few tries of full wipe i managed to get this workig.
Finally i set phone without fingerprint and it works now. All directories are accesible.
Still i will try again with flashing TWRP back becasue it reverted to default recovery :9
