I can not get the Motorola TC55 to show up in the adb (using Mac OSX), and their support lines are less than unhelpful.
I have tried adding the vendors to the .ini file, I have tried toggling on/off the usb debugging, and the development options.
I have tried killing and restarting adb. I have tried restarting laptop and TC55. I have tried 3 cables.
I have tried it when using the device storage option and without.
It says USB connected, USB debugging connected, and connected as installer in the notifications menu.
I tried installing Motorola Device Manager for Mac, which seems to do nothing.
I am at a dead end. Besides emailing myself test builds, what can I do?

On Android 5.0, go to Settings -> Storage -> menu -> USB computer connection and make sure 'Media device (MTP)' is disabled. When it's disabled 'adb devices' lists the device, when enabled not.
Failed ADB connections usually have one root cause: bad Android USB drivers that load in place of the right ones. Windows doesn't make it easy to remove the wrong drivers, unfortunately. But before attempting to troubleshoot an ADB connection, first enable USB debugging on your phone if it's not on already.
To use adb with a device connected over USB, you must enable USB debugging in the device system settings, under Developer options. To use adb with a device connected over Wi-Fi, see Connect to a device over Wi-Fi. On Android 4.2 and higher, the Developer options screen is hidden by default.
If it's for mac then you can open terminal and type in following.
echo 0x05e0 >> ~/.android/adb_usb.ini
0x05e0 is the Vendor ID for the TC55.
Once done, restart your adb.
cd your_path_to_adb
./adb kill-server
./adb devices
You should see your device in the list.
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached

If not, try unplug the device and plug-in and do ./adb devices again. It just worked for me few minutes ago ;)
!!! dont forget to do all this again each time you update your ADB..

In my case, I am running Windows 10. It worked under Windows 7, but since I upgraded, it stopped working.
Tried a lot of the above, all not working for me. Ended up installing a (apparently) new version of the usb driver for the TC55 from https://portal.motorolasolutions.com/Support/US-EN/Resolution?solutionId=99052&productDetailGUID=17bba9494c7a0410VgnVCM10000001c7b00aRCRD&detailChannelGUID=2202caf8fb16e310VgnVCM1000000389bd0aRCRD
That worked fine, adb recognizes my TC55 again!
