Root Droid 4 in USB Debugging Mode - Can't Find Drivers

I've read over a dozen threads and articles and can't seem to find a solution.
I have a brand spanking new Droid 4, not even activated yet. It has Android 4.1.2 installed on it (it was having this problem with ICS on it, too).
I'm trying to root it.
I've got it connected to a Win7 x64 system.
I've installed Motorola 5.9 drivers.
I've installed the Android SDK, and downloaded the Google USB and Google Web drivers with it.

When not in debugging mode, Windows recognizes the device just fine, all drivers are there.

When in debugging mode, there are two entries under Other Devices in Device Manager that don't have drivers installed.
It won't find the drivers when I tell it to look for them. I've tried pointing it to the drivers in the <sdk>\extras\google\usb_driver\ folder, and it finds nothing there.
Connected the droid to different USB ports.
I've tried with the Droid in both Mass Storage and MTP modes. Windows has been rebooted several times. The Droid has been rebooted a million times, while connected to the PC. I've tried every combination of connecting, rebooting, and toggling of debugging and USB modes. The Motorola Device Manager has not helped.
I have removed and re-added drivers several times.
I've spent too much time on this one thing that's supposed to be trivial, and I don't know what else to try.


Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I re-attempted this and still no luck. I made sure to uninstall the Motorola & Google drivers. Reinstalled just the Motorola drivers.
Does anyone have just the individual driver files they could upload, instead of a driver installation package?

So it has drivers for this phone so long as it's not in USB Debugging mode, but they are all from Microsoft, not Motorola, even though I've installed that Motorola package.
