My phone doesn't mount when plugged in to a PC
USB debugging is switched on but does not activate when plugged in.
The phone shows its charging but that is it.
I am able to access the SD card normally on the phone but there is no indication of the phone being connected when I plug it into my PC.
I have tried;
plugging it into different PCs
different cables
the unbricking process, several times (even though it doesn't really apply, my card is visible in Android)
flashing to different roms with a wipe in between
Any ideas?
I can't figure it out.
E.E.

me too same problem after updating to froyo ... but i'm different than you the it connect after a while .. but now for example when connecting the phone to my car it doesn't read it because it take too long to connect .. any help ?
Have you got a working set for drivers?
This was my main problem, I used to just have to play around with the USB and eventually it would mount after about two or three reboots.
I installed HTC Sync & updated drivers and so far it's been working the way it should be, even if you don't use HTC sync just download it and grab the drivers & then replace files with the the
Code:
HTC Hero driver for 32-bit Windows 7: HTC_Driver_32.zip
HTC Hero driver for 64-bit Windows 7: HTC_Driver_64.zip
That sorted my problem but not sure if it works for everyone.

I think you are right. it happened to me and it was because drivers.... once windows finalized to install the drivers is sure you will get the option to mount as drive...

No its not the drivers. My PC still connects successfully with the phone when in recovery mode. That's how I was able to complete the USB unbrick process.

I am running Win 7 x64 ultimate. I have a AT&T S3. I have tried every port on my laptop. I have updated Kies. I have tried the drivers from here http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-I747MBBATT. I can't get the 'Samsung Mobile MTP device' to install correctly. Can anyone help?

If you installed the drivers and restarted your computer, just open Odin and plug phone in while on (NOT DOWNLOAD MODE/ JUST HAVE ODIN OPEN) let computer recognize your phone(Install drivers) then shut down Odin and you should be ready to go
Thanks for the reply. However, this did not work. I should be able to connect to a PC to transfer files but I can't. I have now tried this on two other PC's (another Win 7 ultimate and a Win XP SP3). Watching device manager, it seems like the driver is ok for a minute (i.e. not yellow exclamation mark) and then it pops up. On the XP machine, I just tried to let Windows find the driver (i.e. I didn't dowload it from Samsung) every 30 seconds or so Windows just keeps popping up with the 'found new hardware' message. I am getting error 'code 10' saying the driver can't start. In a virtual machine, I tried another Win XP SP3 in which I did install the Samsung drivers and I got an error saying that the device wasn't found in the INF file. There are alot of subdirectories inside the Samsung USB driver folder, does anyone know which driver should be installed for this? I want to manually try to install it.

I had the same problem as you. Guess what fixed it? Using a different usb port on the same machine. Weird, I know, but it worked for me though I have no idea why that would make a difference

Been there done that it didn't work. I did a factory reset and it worked on this XP pc I am using at work. I'll try it on Win 7 when I get home. I didn't let google download all my apps this time to try to keep the phone clean. Before I had Launcher Pro (didn't use it though) and ADWLauncher Ex (I did use this one) both of which are home screen launchers. I don't know if something with ADWLauncher messed something up with the USB debug or what. This XP machine was behaving like USB debug wasn't checked when it was. About every 60 seconds it would detect the MTP device but I never could actually browse the phone.
I had the same problem. I switched cables and uninstallEd/ reinstalled the drivers. One of those fixed it for me

When I connect my Nexus 10 to my Windows 7 computer, the only driver installed is the Android ADB Interface.
I don't get the MTP connection, and my tablet does not show under "My Computer".
On the Nexus 10, I have tried turning debugging on and off, and I tried deleting the driver from the device manager in Windows and reconnecting it and hoping it would re-detect and re-install, but still no go.
Can anyone help me to get the MTP connection working? I think it worked on the initial Android version 4.2, but after the Nexus 10 system updates, it stopped working.
Thank you

You shouldn't have problems if you are on 4.2.2 (as I see on your sign). Did you try unplugging and replugging the Nexus 10 or trying another usb port? As soon as you connect the n10 to the pc, drivers will automatically install and it will show up under my pc. Also, if you go to settings - storage, I think you'll see the option of mtp (once you connect it and the pc recognizes the tablet).
PD: Maybe you have issues with the drivers from your nexus phone? You shouldn't since they should be generic, but who knows...

My phone connects fine. In the end, it looks like something broke in Windows. I did a clean install and it recognized my tablet again. But, I still don't know what broke it.
Back when I was on Windows, I did notice sometimes I'd have to uninstall the ADB driver completely for MTP to show properly. No idea why though.
Works great on Ubuntu though, right out of the box too on raring
Hello, I am trying to connect my nexus 4 to my computer to put some music on. This used to work, but now it is being detected as an unknown device. I tried updating the drivers to the Universal Naked driver, but it just says the best driver is already installed. I tried with USB debugging on and off, no difference. Also tried 2 different usb cables.

What OS are you using? Windows? Mac? A linux distro?
Also, are you sure you're using MTP instead of PTP (Settings > Storage > menu > Usb Computer Connection) ?
You can try to install google's drivers from the android sdk as well.

I am using Windows 7, it was set to PTP, I just set to MTP, but it still does the same thing. I have turned off my USB debugging in the developer menu as well.

I know this is a silly thing to ask, but have you tried rebooting your phone? Something like this happened to me before and a reboot fixed it.
Also, if you have a custom kernel, check that you have USB fast charge disabled. And after that fails, try installing google's drivers. Sorry, I'm just spouting out random ideas at this point.

Use trickster mod and go to the Kernel Specific page. If fast charge is ticked off, there's not much we can do from there.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bigeyes0x0.trickstermod&hl=en
Also, have you tried to install google's drivers or make a nandroid and reflash a clean rom?
EDIT: You could also try Koush's universal driver: https://plus.google.com/103583939320326217147/posts/BQ5iYJEaaEH

Hmm I am in the trickster mod on the kernel specific screen, but I don't see anything about USB fast charge Where might I get googles drivers? I can't seem to install any drivers because as soon as I uninstall the unknown device, it auto installs some drivers.

So I tried installing the newest Franco kernel Milestone (3), and the USB fast charge is off. I also tried installing a different CM mod, but there is no difference. I also tried installing the universal you gave me, but that didn't work, and i installed the google driver from SDK and that didn't work.
I don't know what else to do...
Hi, try to completly unninstall ALL drivers for nexus, samsung or android related, than install official drivers for nexus 4 and then connect nexus 4. Should work.

I tried that, no luck...I don't know what else to do, I have tried 3 different cables. I tried using the drivers that come with the nexus 4 toolkit, but no luck. It charges when plugged in, but i get nothing else. Also it seems like half the time its not even in the device manager as an unrecognized device, and then it intermittently pops up a window saying unrecognized device detected... maybe my USB port is broken on the phone?
Is there something simple I have overlooked to get 4.2.2 to work with my computer?

Have you managed to solve this? I'm facing almost the same problem!
No, I tried for hours with no luck. I am glad I am not the only one, hopefully a solution will come to us. I have been using airdroid to transfer files from my phone in the mean time.
Im also having the same issue except my computer only recognizes my phone when its connected as a camera.

I am having a similar problem with my daughter's Nexus 4 phone, which is not rooted nor unlocked - it is still completely stock. It was just updated to Android 4.3, however I can't say that this is the cause of the problem because she never attempted to connect her phone to the desktop machine before.
I have a Windows 7 x64 box at home, and spent over two hours last night trying to get the computer to correctly recognize the Nexus 4 phone. I was hoping that the standard MTP Windows driver would handle it perfectly, but no luck. I tried the Google usb drivers, and the ADB interface was recognized, but still no access to the internal storage. I then gave the Naked Drivers a try, and no joy there either.
I am beginning to suspect that the MTP drivers on my desktop are munged, but do not relish the thought of a Win 7 wipe and reinstall.
Anyone else have any ideas?
Thanks much!
I am having a similar problem where I have USB storage set to MTP and Windows doesn't pick it up, whereas PTP Windows will pick up but I can't access any folders other than the camera related folders like DCIM.
So my workaround is doing it the old fashioned way through CMD in windows using adb push.
Example:
Assuming you have all the stuff you want to transfer in a folder called stuff, adb is located in C:\adb, and your folder known as stuff is also in C:\adb:
C:\adb>adb push stuff /data/media/0
The above command starting from the ">" will transfer all files in the folder called stuff to the root of /sdcard. In the N4, /sdcard is symbolically linked to /data/media/0.
Of course you need USB debugging enabled for this to work...
Device Manager (Hopefully this helps)
In the start menu type device manager, in that window you should see android and or something similar at the top. You want to drop the menu down and right click what should say Google ADB Interface and delete it, make sure you check the confirmation box. After reboot your computer! Once booted plug your phone in a viola!!!
I'm having a similar issue.
I can open device manager but there in no Android anything listed. All that comes up when I plug my phone in is 'unrecognized usb device'. I have 5 different cable I have tired. The OS will only bring up the usb error in a USB 3.0 port. It will not do anything if I use the 2.0 port.
I have gone and tried to manually update the drivers through the device manager but when I select the drivers from Android SKD or any of the other driver packs I get an error that it is not a x64 driver.
I found one suggestion about modding the driver to include the device but windows will not even recognize the device other than a unknown usb.
I'm going to have a bricked computer soon. Any help would be appreciated.

First, Google universal naked drivers xda. Try those. If they don't work go into device manager and go to where it says let me choose drivers from my computer. Then look for the android composite adb interface.
If you're on win 8 you'll need to allow unsigned drivers. Google how to do that

Windows 7x64 on all machines. I am trying this on 2 work computers and getting the same result. I have 2 issues that I think are the root of the issue.
#1 is the phone doesn't do anything in USB debug mode. I keep seeing references to having to approve the computer connection but I haven't seen that yet. I have tired 9 usb ports. 6 on my main computer will not bring anything, not even the usb drive. 3 on the labtop will only bring up a 'unrecognized usb drive'.
#2 is the computer will not recognize the device in anything other than a 'unrecognized usb drive' (UUD). Everyone keeps mentioning the Android Composite ADB interface. It's not there, it doesn't show up or as an option. I can go into the device manager and find the UUD and try and update the driver via the manual method with a disk but it doesn't list any type of hardware that is related to Android or ADB.

Hello,
"#1 is the phone doesn't do anything in USB debug mode." This is normal!
How I experienced the USB debugging option is that, if turned ON:
1. The Nexus does not appear in my Windows env
2. BUT when in recovery mode, I can use the "adb" commands
If USB debugging turned OFF:
1. Then I CAN see the Nexus in my Windows env
2. BUT I cannot use the "adb" commands in recovery mode.
So you definitely need to have the USB debugging option turned off if you want to see your nexus in Windows, IMO

I think you really have an issue with the drivers. I would install the Google USB drivers. Maybe a bit heavy but then you can be sure that drivers are fine:

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
