[Q] Tablet wont mount via USB - Acer Iconia A500

Acer A500, ICS bootloader, ICS rom 4.0.3, stock.
I can't get it to connect to any computer via USB. Any reasons for that?

Got USB debugging checked?

Let me check, Im pretty sure its always checked...
Ok, yes it is. And Im looking at it right now, Im in the settings screen --> Storage --> Storage settings --> USB computer connection --> "Connect As" MTP is checked.
Nothing is showing up in the finder, not the internal SD nor external SD (micro sd card). There has to be a way.

Get the Google usb drivers and install them manually through device manager. Ignore any warnings about compatibility.

Could you point me in the right direction, or give me a file name to search for, thanks.
Im actually going to flash a new (aftermarket) rom later, so that might fix the problem, but in case it doesn't ill still need the file.
Oh, what device manager are you talking about? Whenever I think of flashing I think ADB or booting into CFW and flashing a zip or similar that way...

scuze me for buttin in but you can d/l the google drivers from the CPUID thread linked in my sig
there is a zip file attached to the first post in that thread named adb_fastboot-the zip is a mini-sdk so its all official

[Q] adb driver for nookcolor on windows 7

Apologies if this is already posted somewhere. just point me to the link and I'll take a look, but everything I have tried so far has failed.
I have been trying to get adb working on my NookColor under Windows 7. I am running a rooted 1.4.2 stock image. I installed the sdk by following the guide at http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_USB_ADB, but when I get to step III.3.1, the device does not show up where the guide tells me it should. I gget a myNOOKcolor device under Portable Devices instead. I tried following the same procedure for this device, but when I get to step III.3.2.3, I get an error message saying "The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems."
I was able to follow the same procedure to install the driver for my MyTouch 4g. It looks to me like the problem s that Windows identifies my Nook as a portable storage device, rather than an unidentified device type, like my MyTouch was. I've tried uninstalling the driver, but it just reinstalls itself when I unplug and plug the device back in.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I think the problem is the device id. I posted a workaround for CM9. It might be the same for your upgraded stock. See if my post helps. Look here:

Thanks for the post!
I looked at your workaround and it did not help. There is no nook entry under "Other Devices" in the device manager. the only entry for my nook is the "myNOOKcolor" under portable devices. When I right click on that and go to details, there is no device id listed.
Is there any chance that I may need to revert to 1.4.1 in order for this to work?

With CM9, you have to be sure to have usb debugging turned on before the device will show up. That guide was written for an earlier version of the stock software. Is there anything like that in your stock software? Do you have to install nook tools to get at the setting? It's been a long time since I played with stock and the software has changed.
Edit: There is an alternate script listed in that referenced page you listed. Did you try that?

I have trtied all the troubleshooting steps in that page, if that's what you mean. Nothing has worked for me so far. I have tried disabling automount and usb debugging, to no avail.
I guess I should ask a new question. If I create a bootable CM7/CM9 sd card, will I be able to copy apk's to /system/app on my nook? That is really the only reason I need adb to work, so I can install non market apps.

Yes, but with difficulty. But you don't really want to install to /system, you want to install to /data (on emmc, which is the difficulty doing it from SD). You can use terminal emulator in CM7 to copy the files to emmc /data/apps. You first have to mount emmc /data. If you want to try that, I can help you.

Well something else actually occurred to me. Will I be able to copy apps to my sdcard (not the CM7 bootable, just a regular sd card), then copy them to /data/app using root explorer? If I can do that, there there's really no problem, I'll just have to deal with the fact that adb doesn't work.
If I can't do that, then yes, please help me do it using a bootable sd

If you have root explorer working on emmc, yes you can do it that way. You can actually have root explorer just install for you also.

I am using CM10 on my nook color after spending 8+ hours yesterday finally being able to get back to where I started. I can again see my nook and the card but it is now showing up under portable devices. I used to have them listed as drives. this is fine as I have access to the card after I click on the nook in File explorer. I would like it the previous set-up just because Calibre has my card and device flipped and its easy to confuse me. I learned that if I can label my nook f and the card g Calibre will think the first letter is the main drive.
My original reason for this post: I can not find where to disable the automount in CM10 can you tell me where you disabled it? and if anyone can wave their magic wand and get me back to where I can name my nook and card THANKS:fingers-crossed:

You need to activate USB Mass Storage in CM10. It uses MTP by default. Go to settings, storage, menu, USB computer connection and check off Mass Storage rather than MTP. Then they show up as drive letters instead of under portable devices. You may also have to activate in the notification area.
And I think in Windows you can control what the drive letters are. Go to manage computer and select disk management and you can change the drive letters.

THANK YOU, so very much it has been driving me crazy. I knew where that was to change it to mass storage but I just never guessed to hit menu. After I read your post I saw the tiny 3 dots in top right. I really should just wear my glasses
and Yes I have changed the letters in the past as you have noted. However it seems a mute point Calibre just released a new version that lets me correct that problem. However it's nice to have the mass storage issue fixed.
Thanks again

Here you go:
Required
SD Card
FlashFire download
TWRP as recovery (mentioned you have)
Custom ROM (mentioned you have CM14)
Stock Firmware Package (mentioned you have)
Steps
Part One: Assuming you have all required files mentioned above
Boot into recovery
Choose Mount
Choose USB Storage
Copy all those required files to SD Card except Custom ROM
Unmount USB Storage
Now Reboot Device
Part Two: Assuming you are booted into the Custom ROM
Enable Developer Options in the phone and enable Root from developer options (if not enabled)
Install FlashFire and Open it
Click on +, select Firmware Package then locate where you copied downloaded files on SD Card and choose .tar.md5 tarball
If you want pure Stock ROM then remove tick mark from "Preserve Recovery" and " Inject SuperSU" options, also put tick mark on Wipe Data and Cache
Now start flashing and after reboot you'll have pure Stock ROM
Tips
About device not being recognized by PC, may be correct driver is missing so try installing Samsung Smart Switch (Kies are for older devices) download
Don't forget to post the result

[GUIDE] Fix MTP driver installation on Windows 10

Hi guys and girls...
I just recieved my new phone a few days ago. Plugged it into an old Windows 7 x64 laptop and Windows instantly updated the driver. On a 2016 Dell E7450 Windows 10 x64 laptop... It didn't. Tried the Google USB drver package, but it didn't work either. Windows reports about a problem with an INF file and doesn't finalize the driver install...
I just saw someone reported the same issue in Q/A. I thought it would be a good idea to write a step by step guide.
@ppd0526 proposed an easier solution to fix the issue:

Awesome, thanks! After several months with my phone, this just happened to me yesterday and I couldn't figure it out. The Google USB driver reinstall didn't work for me either, but this did!
As a suggestion, it's quicker to get to Device Manager by right clicking on the gear icon (Start) and selecting Device Manager.

Thank you Soo much. It worked exactly like it says in the OP.
This guide doesn't work anymore. MTP Device and MTP USB Device are no longer the menu options. Uninstalling the device doesn't work. You just end up with the exact same MTP with the exclamation point as before.

Thank you sooo much :victory:, I actually didn't have the wpdmtp.inf in C:\Windows\Inf but I had this folder (link) containing a couple of android drivers and there was wpdmtp.inf file in it, I right clicked and installed it and VOILLAA!!... :laugh: everything went perfect after that. If for any reason you still face MTP problems after this I would recommend to do a manual installation of MTP drivers by going to "Device Manager", click MTP entry with exclamation then "Update Driver Software"->"Browse my computer for driver", navigate to the folder location where you extracted the drivers (link).... you should be done after that. If otherwise you face a problem along the lines of "section in this INF is invalid" while doing manual installation dreboot your PC and find the wpdmtp.inf again, right click then install and you would have fixed your problem. :good:
THANKS!
Oh man! Finally, FREAKING FINALLY, I found a solution that works. Thank u so so so much.
Thank you! This tip worked for me!
I have been having this issue for almost a year, if I wanted pictures and files from my phone, I had to get them from the cloud. Today was the first time in a very long time, that I was able to just copy over files from the phone again from Windows Explorer. THANK YOU!
trying these methods is still failing for me... shows "Pixel" in device manager.. if I try to update drive.. it says either can't find.. or failed...
and if i turn on Transfer Files.. Device manager shows ADB and MTP under "Other" but both fail when trying to update drivers..

How to disable automount of the USB Drivers on Windows

I'll be darned if I can find an answer on this, which is weird, because I was able to 'fix' this on three prior phones.
When you connect (to Windows 7 PC in my case) via USB, the system detects and mounts a new USB drive (as a drive letter device) and pops up an Autoplay window. If allowed, it will install the drivers. Handy? The first time, yes. Many times later? Lightly annoying. *shrug*
Who's got the skinny on a solution for this "issue". LOL

Me! You'll need to have root access though. All you need to do is delete the /system/etc/usb_drivers.iso file and you're done.

Do copy before. If you lose those drivers you need to look for them on internet, there is no official drivers or I couldn't find them. What about disable autoplay from usb on Windows.

I renamed, adding .bak to the filename. Seems to have worked. (After I otherwise solved my problem with access to root files that ES File Manager couldn't grant access to, that is. Solid Explorer FTW)
I looked at Windows-side options, but I needed to solve the root access problem anyway, so... Also, I wanted to disable it for just this volume and it was unclear how feasible it would be for a single volume. I think I saw something about it being able to be on a per-volume (using unique ID) but didn't dig very far.

If ever needed, you can download them from here, or let me know if this link expires sometime. I'll upload them for you.

Thanks man.. I'll have a look at it when I come home if there's" no signature" message like on the others I found before. :good:

Tab S2 (813) SD Card Not Seen by Windows 10

Howdy, folks. Had a T813 for about a half year now, but have not done anything in the way of a custom ROM - I just rooted the stock MM firmware and ran with it.
I'd like to now put a Nougat ROM on the machine, but for some reason, Windows is not mounting the SD card in the tablet. There are some files I'd like to archive just in case things go "big-bad". If you have any insight, please point me in the right direction?
Also, since I haven't yet flashed TWRP on this machine, any warnings or guides would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Make sure that you have mtp enabled in usb settings.
Check your drivers and ensure the device is detected in device manager.

Seems I'm not seeing any option to select between charge and USB. I have installed the Samsung USB Drivers for Mobile Phones (assuming it's the same) to no avail. Windows 10 is not recognizing the tablet, or its internal storage.
Any help would be appreciated.

Usually swiping down when a USB device is connected gives you a choice.

That's the problem - I'm not getting that option. I won't rule out that I'm not using the right drivers. Can you tell me where to obtain the correct drivers for the S2 T813?

Yep. That's the driver I installed. But no go. I'm not seeing the USB/Charge option.
My plan is to flash the tablet with another ROM anyway. Right now, I'm stock rooted with (if memory serves) CF Autoroot. So, can I use Odin (or something else) to offload my data until I get to where I want to be?

I've had this same issue at times with various devices. Fixes that have worked for me are:
1. Try a different USB port on your computer. In my case my ports on the front were not working but the back ports worked fine.
2. Try a different cable. I had one fail just this past week.
3. Find the drivers on your PC and delete them manually, then reinstall from scratch. Not sure why this worked but it did in a couple of cases.
Worst case you can remove your SD card and plug it directly into your PC, then copy any files between that you need to save. Also, just asking the obvious here, do you have "USB debugging" turned on in Developer Options? I am assuming you do but ya never know.
