Please help if you can
My first 32gb Nexus 7 had no problems showing up as an mtp device on windows 7.
Am running a rooted 4.1.2 and all is well with mtp as well as adb, toolkits, etc.
I purchased one more as a gift, and that one can only be set to ptp in the internal storage settings.
If I try to set it to mtp, it takes, but does not show up in windows or in adb.
The only way to see it or use adb or a toolkit on it, is to set it to ptp which shows up as a camera with read only permissions.
Both tablets are using the same rom etc.
Have tried this on 2 PC's (win 7 as well as xp)
Any Ideas?
Thanks
On my (rooted) Stock 4.2.1 tablet, MTP mode only seems to show up if ADB Debugging is enabled.
Sort of odd; PTP will work whether or not ADB Debugging is turned on, but MTP only shows up when ADB debugging is also enabled.
If you have not enabled "Developer Options" on the tablet, go to
Settings->About tablet
and tap on the last entry ("Build number") 6 or 7 times in succession. This will allow the following menu item to appear under settings:
Settings-> {} Developer options
You can enable ADB debugging from there.
The PTP/MTP toggle control is at
Settings -> Storage -> Menu (top RH corner) -> USB Computer connection
good luck

Thanks, but I guess I was not very clear.
ADB Debugging is turned on but only works in PTP mode.
MTP does not work at all, even though it's checked.

Even after reading this and your 1st post, I am still a little uncertain.
I *think* you are saying that you want to get MTP working on the second unit. And I *think* you are also saying that (additionally) ADB only seems to work when you have PTP mode selected.
Reading between the lines - are you testing things with the same computer for both tablets? (Or, another way to put that, if the answer to this previous question is no, do you see any "Unknown Device" messages in the Device Manager when you toggle things around?)
I fooled around with mine not more than 30 minutes ago. Leaving it plugged into the PC the entire time (Win 7 Pro x64), I could toggle USB Debugging on/off and back and forth between PTP/MTP. Although I didn't actually try a live ADB session in both MTP/PTP modes, the file browser thing would pop up for PTP mode no matter what I had ADB debugging set to, and for MTP mode that would only happen if I had ADB debugging enabled. At no time did I see any unrecognized devices in the Device Manager.
And I think that what I just said above doesn't help you.... arghh.

First of all thanks for the interest.
Bottom line is as follows.
MTP mode does not work period.
However....
when I boot into recovery, (TWRP) the pc sees the usb connection, and I can use adb commands.
So it leads me to conclude that there is something off in the System files. But (and it's driving me nuts)
they are a clone of the first (MTP functioning) Nexus 7.
Thanks again
@OP
You can uninstall the drivers(all of the n7 drivers), then unplug, then replug it in, then let it install its drivers again. This solved the mtp issues other users had.
Hi,
Just got a Nexus 4, had a Galaxy S2 before. The problem is that I can't get it to be recognized in Windows 7 x64. Nothing really happens, I plug it, it starts to charge but nothing more, no icon appearing at device manager etc. Tried to install the drivers via nexus 4 toolkit and nothing changed, tried on another windows 7, a notebook and its the same. Changed the USB cable, no difference. Charging and nothing more.
I searched on internet and found similar issues but didn't find a solutions.
PS: Its a new phone, never unlocked or rooted.
Works here dude download latest android SDK and go to device manger on computer update drivers

Installed the toolkit, folowed the instructions but the problem still there. The problem is that when I connect the phone I don't get the "connect to usb" familiar sound but the charging starts. So is not that the drivers are wrong or bad, the problem is that is that the phone doesn't even shows as something in device manager.
Go to your phone settings.... then click on about phone....
then scroll down and hit the "build number 10 times" that will unlock the developer menu
then go back to "about phone" scroll down to the developer menu.
then check box for "usb debugging" and the computer will see the phone.
Had this problem too the first time i got my Nexus 4.
It frustrated me for the first couple of hours when i could'nt connect it to my pc, and no solution seems to work.
However, i found the solution. This was: Install the latest version of Windows Media Player.
This phone uses MTP, instead of mass storage, and thus needs WMP.

I have the latestes WMP version and anyway, I have a digital camera that works in MTP in this same PC.
This is becoming short of solutions and I beginning to think maybe its a nexus 4 hardware fault.
turn them both off and on again
I have this same problem and haven't found a solution yet!
I have this problem only when USB Debugging isn't turned on. I'm not sure what's wrong with it but by computer (running W8 Pro) won't see my phone until I turn on debugging. All drivers are installed but the only way I can copy files to/from my N4 is with debugging enabled.
Would love to see a solution come through and I'll continue looking for one myself to help us all out.
-Sent from that.... you know.... thing that sends these things-
Same issue.
I have tried over 5 computers running windows 7 and about 5 different usb cables.
I have tried having usb debugging checked, unchecked, MTP on/off and PTP on/off.
Still nothing.
Im having this problem too. I tried in 4 different pc's and a mac. My nexus 4 cant be detected. Its just charging. Weird thing is that no "Charging (USB)" on my lock screen just "Charging"
i had the same problem and read everysingle forum and finally found the working solution
Device Manager - right click device (Android ADB OR Nexus 4 ADB interface)
- Update Driver Software
- Browse my computer for driver software
- Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
- then choose "MTP USB Device" OR "USB composite driver"
- Next
here you go instant discovery
make sure you are on MTP and USB debugging is on

Windows 7. It worked fine for me before the 4.3 update.
After Playing around for hours, I've discovered the following method to FIX Windoze 7 Nexus 7 (N7) MTP mounting. Using PTP (mount as camera) is mostly useless since it limits the type of files you can exchange. To set up your Nexus 7 (2012 at least) Follow the Following Steps:
Put N7 in MTP mode
Connect to windows
Open 'My Computer'
If the N7 is not there, open 'Device Manager' (Right click on 'My Computer' and select 'Manage')
If connected in 'Device Manager' as ADB device at the top of the list:
Open up 'Developer Options' on the N7 (Should be at the bottom of the 'Settings' list. if it's not there tap on 'About Tablet' then at the bottom, tap on 'Build Number' seven (7) times. Then go back to 'Settings' and 'Developer Options' will be the second from the bottom of the list)
Un-check USB debugging... see if N7 appears in My computer
Then, while connected, re-enable USB debugging
It'll probably go away again...
Go back into 'Device Manager'
Uninstall driver for ADB device *Including local files*
Wait about 15 seconds
Scan for hardware changes
Your PC should re-install the correct drivers
That's it... This method has worked for a number of people I have chatted with so, hopefully it'll work for you.

No matter what I do, I cant get MTP to install. I'm using Vista. I was able to transfer data before, I dont know what changed. I tried to install MTP with Debugging on and off to no avail. I'm also using a Nexus 10.

I'm not sure. I downloaded the SDK Manager and Samsung Keis but deleted it(Keis) after I started having the problem. I got a Nexus 10 though, not a N7.

If you have android 4.3, I recommend going into developer options and selecting revoke USB debugging, then uninstall the Windows drivers in device manager (all while disconnected) then run SDK manager and update all. Then make sure the N10 is in USB debugging, restart your N10 & pc. When they're fully booted plug in the N10 and look on the screen to see if it asks for permission to connect to this pc in USB debugging mode... see what happens. I don't have an N10 but this might work... Then if not, maybe try the steps in the OP

Kind of frustrating, I can't seem to get my computer to recognize the Nexus 7. I'm running Windows 7 64bit. I do have the Android SDK installed with 4.3 updated to the latest already. Can't imagine what could be triggering this... hmmm
Use the SDK manager to download the Google USB drivers. Head to device manager on your windows, update the driver for the nexus 7 which has an exclamation mark, and select the android SDK folder to install the drivers.
Hope it works for you.. That solved it for me.

Hmmm unfortunately still nothing. When I browse either the usb_driver folder or my SDK folder (with the Google USB drivers), I still get a "Windows was unable to install your Nexus 7, Windows could not find driver software for your device." message.
So I've been scratching my head over this one. I tried USB debugging mode, reinstalling the drivers, etc. Basically with USB debugging and the SDK drivers, I can finally get something installed, I see the Android Composite ADB Interface, but MTP is still eluding me. So PTP works fine now, but MTP is so damn annoying...
Once I disable USB debugging, I'm back to square one, its no longer MTP that has the ! sign in device manager, but instead, Nexus 7 again. Searching the SDK folder yields nothing and not even PTP works once USB debugging is gone.

I created the attached MTP driver inf to see if it would address your issue.
If it works let me know which OS version you are running. I think you mentioned windows 7 64-bit, but sometimes people switch machines in the efforts of trying to get things working.
You can install by telling the driver install not to search and to look for the driver in the path you downloaded and EXTRACTED this zip file.
The other way to install is to right click on the ? question mark entry in devmgmt.msc and go to the tab with the update driver option.

Thank you! That worked fantastic, still running Windows 7 64-bit. Can I ask what you did to get this working?
EDIT: This works fine for USB Debugging Mode, but when I turn that off, the Nexus 7 will try and install this MTP driver and get a "this device cannot start" error (on Windows). Although I'm more than happy with this solution, just info for anyone browsing this thread later on.

If you want, you can try the version in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391236
This driver inf only affects MTP under USB debugging and will defer to windows for MTP when USB debugging is turned off.
You'll need to go to devmgmt.msc and Portable Devices, find Nexus 7, right-click, find the option to uninstall drivers, choose that, righ-click on Nexus 7, remove device, reboot.
Then specify the new path for the driver install (the one from that thread is mtp_driver, instead of mtp_driver_all in this thread)
Also you may want to post your experiences on that thread so people can find it in the future.
Yep I can confirm this one works as well. Awesome!

Do you still have the issue where it says device could not be started when you turn off usb debugging?
Not sure if I'm having the same problem or just similar.
With usb debugging mode enabled, the tablet appears as Nexus 7 with no drivers found.
Without usb debugging mode, the Nexus 7 doesn't appear at all, not even under "other devices" or as a .USB composite device.
First tried installing Google USB Driver Rev. 8 from the SDK manager, with no luck.
Trying to manually install the extracted WPDMTPNX.INF driver with "Include subfolders" checked gives "Windows was unable to install your Nexus 7" as a result.

I believe your USB IDs are different from stock because of the ROM you are running.
I don't think it will fix your problem of not seeing the device properly with usb debugging disabled (I think that is possibly a rom issue), but it should theoretically get your device visible with usb debugging enabled.
Right-click on Nexus 7 in start menu->run->devmgmt.msc and choose the tab that allows you to update drivers and specify a folder where you unzip'd the zip file.

Hello, i have a very weird problem. My nexus 4 cant connect to pc as mass storage device.. It worked fine like 4 days ago.. I dont know what happened or what else i can try.. Already tried: usb debugging on/off, factory reset, usb settings in storage menu, different usb port, NOTHING HELPED! There are another weird thing that i spoted is that it only charges through usb when i have nothing selected in storage>usb connections menu, as soon as i try to select mtp or camera it stops from charging and nothing happens. Same problem for AC charging it wont charge when theres mtp or camera selected, and only charges as USB... I'm confused.. Are there any ways to get it working again?
I'm having the same problem.. I've just installed Windows 7 64 bit but it sees my Nexus 4 like Unknown Device.. I uninstalling the drivers and re installing them using Nexus Root Toolkit but no result for now..:crying:
Do you have a ROM or anything installed? I know with PA its a problem at the moment at times. A little more info would be nice. I never had a problem with Windows 7. I'm on Windows 8 now and i had an issue at first with it not showing up at times. But it seems to be fine now.
Just go in
Settings,
Dev options (if you not have it go in phone informations and press many times in row the Build Number, this activate Dev options)
and Disable USB Debugging,
then reconnect your phone, and the computer will see it
USB debbuging isnt working. i have no ROMS, stock android 4.3. And yes, now im running WIN 8, previuosly had 7, the problem occured after installing 8 and trying to plug it in. Its not showing in my computer neither in device Manager. I doesnt make any difference with, or without it pluged in, the only difference is that it will start charging, but then again ONLY when i disable everyting in storage>usb connections.
bump
do you have a fast charge app installed? it sounds like it's an issue related to fast charging via USB. if it's enabled you can't access anything on the phone via usb, but i think that requires to at least be rooted.
I'm on last PA 3.99-Rc1 and I just found out that if I go in Setting-Memory the appilcation shutdown .-. Never had this issue before .-.

Nothing, just read that it's a issue with PA while using last Franco Kernel nightly XD I'm going back to windows vista 32bit, so I believe the problem connecting my nexus 4 won't be any more an issue (Going back to Vista because for daily use it worked perfectly and every thing worked fine with the drivers, Windows 7 it's better, but too many issues with drivers bla bla bla XD) :laugh:
I have always used the Windows Driver from the Google SDK (Google USB Driver- As of today, Revision 8) for my Windows 7 64 bit computer and have never had a problem. More importantly there is an Update Manager that comes with the SDK, that when you run, notifies you of newer Windows drivers as they are released. That way as Google issues newer OS builds or Windows issues a new OS, I know that not only my driver but my platform tools aka fastboot/adb/etc. (As of today, Revision 18.0.1) will always be compatible. The problem with these toolkits and driver downloads all over the place on these forums is that you have know idea how old the internals are. The other obvious thing to check is a bad or intermittently bad USB cable. Also make sure "MTP" is checked in Settings > Storage >Settings > USB computer connection.
Hey, I'm sorry if it's against etiquette digging up an old post, but this part worked for me:

Fix usb
Go to device manager in windows 7/8/8.1 . Connect your mobile with usb. You will see android device or adb right click on it, select properties, click uninstall driver. NOTE: When you click this a small popup will appear saying remove software driver, tick on it and click uninstall.. there you go ..it will reinstall drivers and your phone will be finally connected.
im having the same problem . My phone shows as Unknown Device on Device Manager. Tried other cables and usb ports. I can tell that the cables and ports are not the problem since my Nexus 7 can connect without problem. Tried usb debuggin on/off, MTP on/off, PTP. Still no luck. Already tried to reinstall drivers but still the same problem. Hoping this is not a hardware issue. I already tried factory reset and flashing other ROMs
