Mount as drive - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am having trouble mounting the N7 as a disk drive on my XP machine. I have tried as MTP and PTP and neither one allows me to view the files/folders via windows explorer. Am I doing something wrong? I am stock rooted.
Thanks

They don't mount as drives. If you want to copy files I would use MTP. If that's not working you can try air droid

Thanks for the confirmation. I was able to transfer files using ADB push/pull.

What do you mean by adb push/pull? I can't transfer any files between pc-tab' windows xp sp3 w/ media player 10

adb is a command line utility from the Android sdk.
It can be used to push files from the pc to the Android device and pull to the pc. It also does a whole lot more.

Here is a command you can run via command line on XP which will (assuming your ADB is set up, and your device shows up when you run 'adb devices') copy a file from your current working directory to the device onto the base level of the internal storage. It worked for me to copy a rom onto the device from my XP computer.
adb push myfile.txt /sdcard/

hero adb issues..

i must be doing something wrong. i just got a new laptop with windows 7 and attached my htc hero, and it automatically installed my drivers, but when i download the android sdk and try to partition the SD card on my phone, it just says 'device not found'. do i have to install drivers for my htc hero or something? thanks
The easiest way I do it is in windows 7 go to the sdk folder. In the top right of the window search for adb. Copy all three files.
Adb.exe and 2 adb...dll files.
Go to the Windows folder in the c drive. Then system32 and paste those files in there.
Go into your phone settings - applications - development and turn on debugging. Unplug and replug in the phone and go to cmd and type adb devices. Should show up.

Help!!!!! Urgent

My friend has no operating system on his phone and he needs to put a software on his phone using team win recovery mount usb storage but his pc won't detect his device ? Would really appreciate some help any solutions
Also he has tried to flash stock and root option within the nexus root toolkit but this also gets stuck at bootloader stage as the computer does not know the device is connected.
Look for the drivers in one of the stickies and install them, then everything should work properly.
1. Mount usb wont work on the nexus 4, and it isnt meant to.
2. Dont use a toolkit
If you've got access to twrp this is what you need to do:
1. Setup adb: http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-set-up-android-adb-and-fastboot-on-windows-tutorial/
2. Install Koush's universal adb driver (google this for the download)
3. Put the phone into twrp
4. Download a rom on your pc and move it to your desktop. Rename it to "rom.zip".
5. Open a command prompt window and run the following commands:
Code:
adb devices
If your phones serial number shows up, continue. If not, reinstall drivers.
Code:
cd Desktop
adb push rom.zip /sdcard/
6. After its finished pushing, go to install within twrp and flash it.
Thank you it is working now

Any way to sideload

I recently rooted my phone. I have not installed any ROMs because i love the stock rom so much but i decided to try one today. I didnt have my computer with me so i downloaded one today and rebooted into recovery. I saved my current rom and then wiped and accidently pressed Data, it asks if i want to wipe everything and i press back. I go to look at my downloads and they are all gone. I look for my backup i had JUST nandroid backed up and it was gone.
So there i am stuck. There is a thread for returning to Stock rom. Sure ok, but its a long process including the 2 gig download which is only uploading at 260mbit/s so another hour or 2.
I have tried sideloading a rom but it fails.
Any suggestions on how to get a rom onto the phone without booting it? I dont have a micro usb to sd card or i would have done that already =/
You need adb on the pc, connect, then in terminal or cmd
Code:
adb push ROM.zip /sdcard
Copying the zip to the folder with adb makes it easier and the above command correct, (of course replace ROM.zip with the actual name).

via sideload or no?
No. Sideload could work, I don't remember the command off hand.
Adb push copies it to the internal memory then you flash through the menu normal.

I gave you thanks.
That seems to work. For anyone that gets into this situation where there are no roms in your phone and you have no way to transfer them. Boot into TWRP, do not use sideload. Just main screen. Device manager will show to be just "g2" and you need the driver. In the driver folder from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48709232&postcount=869 driver section, update driver and browse to 64BitADB and choose androidandadb. It will then give you a list of options starting with Testing drivers, one that dates back to 2010 and another thats 2012. You want the one thats 2nd from the bottom called LG G2 verizon net adb or something like that. Works perfect and connects to adb.
If anyone truely needs this process i can break it down to specifics on how to get it to work. Thanks so much for your help fr4nk1yn!

You are typing su before copying the files to elevate your shell privilege to root, yes?
hi
Hi D00lz
As I said, I am getting error while copying files from pc to device (system\bin) using total commander.
Where to run such command?
Thanks

I use the adb shell for most access to my phone because your computer can't argue with command line (essentially).
1. Follow THIS guide to install ADB drivers on your computer.
2. Copy your 4 files into the C:\adb\ directory (created from Step 1).
3. Turn on USB Debugging on your Android device in Developer Options.
4. Plug your phone into your computer and wait for your device to be recognized.
5. Open Command Prompt as an Administrator and type
Code:
cd C:\adb
6. Type the following commands
Code:
adb push <file1> /system/bin
adb push <file2> /system/bin
adb push <file3> /system/bin
adb push <file4> /system/bin

Assuming it works when you're in its directory, run it from that directory or give the full path when you run it. Or do as I do, add the directory to your path. Then you can run it from whatever directory you're in.
