I have an issue with one of my Windows OS (both 64 bit).
Under Vista Home Premium N7 does not show a problem.
In Device Manager which shows "Android phone" N7 is shown in MTP and Camera.
In ADB as well in Fastboot N7 is recognized under MTP and Camera.
Under Win 7 Professional I have an issue.
In Device Manager which shows "Android composite ADB interface" under Samsung Android phone, the Laptop does not see the N7 under MTP.
When I switch to Camera the computer recognizes N7.
In Fastboot mode as well in ADB N7 appears in Camera.
In MTP mode ADB devices does not show N7 while in Fastboot the N7 appears.
Debugging or not does not change anything.
In short the N7 in Win 7 is not recognized under MTP and it is showing under Camera.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
PS: I favor a manual solution over the use of a ToolKit.
You may be using a N or KN version of Windows 7. N versions of Windows do not contain Media Player or Media Foundation, the latter being required for MTP features.
Media Feature Pack for Windows 7 N with Service Pack 1 and Windows 7 KN with Service Pack 1 may help you out.
If your not using a N version of Windows 7, then there may be another issue.
My version of Win7 is 6.1 with SP1.
Media Player version is 12.
Is it good or bad for my issue?
Thanks for your prompt Post
Hmm, if you have WMP installed, MTP should work, or at least I can't think of a reason for it not to work :/
I solved my problem.
I connected my N7 to my wife Win7 laptop. It was recognized as a portable device, in MTP mode. With a yellow !where the Android ADB is supposed to be.
The event viewer in the Device Manager of my laptop registered several errors including the Android ADB interface.
A restore point before the date of the installation of this interface solved the issue.
N7 is recognized in MTP and in Camera modes.
Et voila

Hi,
Trying to get my Nexus 7 connected to my laptop running Windows XP (32bit), SP3, to allow me to root it.
I've downloaded the Nexus Root Toolkit and I've tried installing all the different drivers from there (USB Debugging is OK), and even the Samsung drivers.
Every time, I get a error on the android ADB interface (can't install). I can't post a picture yet (need 10 posts on here), but I get the following in device manager:
Android Device
Nexus (!)
Other Devices
MTP (!)
Any ideas where I'm going wrong? I think I've read somewhere that XP is difficult to get communicating.
Cheers.
Oh, and it tries to install wdtCoinstaller01007 as standard for a driver.
Have also tried *01009
I have the same problem.
I guess the MTP while in debugging mode is not important
Hello,
several days ago, I installed Windows 8 64bit on my laptop. The problem is, that Windows does not recognize that Android device was connected. If I connect Nexus 7 (or HTC Vision Z, which I have too), nothing happens. Both devices have developer mode on. Neither of them recognizes that they are connected to PC (they don't offer me the connection mode mtp/ptp or mass storage).
Windows update is done, there are no new updates.
I've tried installing PDAnet_Drivers_64bit.exe, without luck. Yes, I've tried RAW drivers from WugFresh, but I can't install drivers for device, that is not present in Windows Device Manager (or can I? How?).
Laptop is Dell Latitude E6410.
Nexus 7 is running stock Android (4.2.2).
HTC Vision Z is running CyanogenMod 7.2 (I'm mentioning it just for complete picture of mine situation, I need to get Nexus working).
Thank you for your time, attention and hopefully help.
I am running x64 Win8 at home, and I just went to Asus's site to install their N7 USB drivers, right-clicked on the .exe file and selected "Run as Administrator", and they installed fine.
I do not run adb/fastboot/Android SDK on my Win8 machine, I do all that work with my Win7 laptop.
Thank you, I will try it when I get to PC again.
I cannot find the nexus in the windows 7 file explorer.
I used an XP computer and got the bootloader unlocked, have developer mode on, installed the USB drivers..... still dont see it.
It shows up in device manager as an android phone, and has Android ADB interface there as well.
I used the drivers from ASUS.
Im not a fan of windows 7 but Im stuck with it.
Can anyone help???

It is able to be recognized stock on Windows 7, no need to install any drivers or anything. You likely changed something with the Windows XP computer as there are multiple different formats.
Guys, I know i am repeating again the question but despite reading 15-20 posts and uncountable articles, I am still not able to get my nexus 7 working with the Windows XP SP3.
1) To start with, I downloaded the google drivers from ASUS and the MTP Porting Kit from microsoft.When i plug in the device with USB Debugging on, Windows shows 3 new devices- NEXUS 7 & Android ADB Interface.. and ofcourse Windows XP can not find the drivers for any. So i open the device manager and it shows Nexus 7 under unidentified devices. I install the drivers for ADB interface (the ones i downloaded from Asus) and the device becomes ready to use. But there is no option to browse the device from my computer or portable devices. Then i switch the debugging on, and now there is a new device- MTP under unidentified devices. Then i install the MTP Porting Kit, but the MTP device still shows a problem with the driver.
2) The second part of the problem is that all this did not work and even my WMP11 does not recognise the Nexus 7.
The device is just connected and charging!!! What am i doing wrong here???

??? It worked and it doesn't work ???
What worked?
Try to delete the precompiled inf-file 'C:\WINDOWS\inf\wpdmtp.pnf', edit the 'C:\WINDOWS\inf\wpdmtp.inf' (see link in the post in the top...), open the XP device-manager, right-click in the yellow '!' and 'update driver'...

I had a lot of problems myself getting Windows XP to work with my Nexus 7 as well... eventually I discovered that installing the latest version of Windows Media Player fixed the problem.
I wrote up a post on this issue on another forum (Sorry, XDA - this was before I discovered you guys), back in December of last year.
Anyway, here is my original post...
http://www.nexus7nexus10.com/forum/nexus-7-help/2600-cannot-connect-pc-2.html#post36608
(Actually, this whole thread is worth reading.)
The only nuisance factor is having to remember to re-enable USB debugging (Titanium Backup needs USB debugging enabled, and complains if itsn't) AFTER I've run some MTP Windows XP related file backups (USB debugging needs to be disabled, or MTP won't work)...
....or at least that is my experience.
Hope this is of some use.
Rgrds,
Ged.
Hello guys,
I have the same issue on windows XP with Nexus 7. I tried everything what was suggested and nothing is working.
I have Windows XP SP3 with WMP11 and MTP porting kit installed as well. the device is recognized and driver is instaled fine. But it's not visible on "my computer" in MTP mode. I tried to turn on usb debugging and still device is invisible in windows explorer, the same is when usb debugging is turoned off.
When device is in PTP mode it appears in "my computer" and i'm able to browse it and see all pictures and photos.
How can i browse my device in MTP mode and copy files there? Please reply if anybody knows what to do to fix this issue.
Thank you.

Recently got a 2012 Nexus 7 from a retailer selling this model with updated Android at very attractive price, and initially able to connect to computer so promptly rooted the device with the Nexus Root Toolkit from Wugfresh Development (in this forum), afterwards had same problems with not being able to read / transfer files.
Tried every fix I could find in other threads, and although device manager saying that connected as 'ADB Device' with debugging on, or 'Google Nexus 7 ADB Device' with MTP on and debugging off, still stuck with no access.
Looking closer at the MTP configuration ('Google Nexus 7 ADB Device') under device manager noticed that details listed manufacturer as 'ClockWorkMod' , and eventually that this originated within a Windows\Inf file titled 'oem60'.
I cut and pasted the 'oem60' file to another directory (to keep it safe just in case this upset something else) then on reconnecting the Nexus 7 as MPT with debugging off, device manager found and installed the correct driver at last. Now able to see and transfer files to / from it.
Presumably could alter the relevant lines in the 'oem60' file, which aren't hard to find, and put it back to original directory, but my other devices also working fine so not done so as yet.

The above workaround was spot on, thanks
Hi everybody.
I have a problem with my Nexus7 tablet, windows 8 can't see it on Devices and drivers and after I plug off the usb cable this error message appears:
Image like: The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Window does not recognize it.
First thing I opened the developer options and checked USB Debugging, after that a strange icon with 4 vertical white rows appears on the notification tab, It was not the usually USB debugging icon.
Then I went on Device Manager and under Acer Devices (Why Acer ???) I found ACER Composite ADB Interface, so I've decided to install again the drivers following this guide:
-----------------
But at the point 8 I can't see "USB composite device" but only "Acer composite ADB interface".
Since yesterday the tablet worked, and I have not update the tablet neither the pc.
What should I do ?
Thanks for the help, sorry for my bad english
* I have few message so I can't upload images or link, sorry for the inconvenience.
I opened now "Devices and Printers" and I saw Nexus7 (with the correct label) under "unspecified", I cannot interact with it
mmm no one ?
I have the same issue with my 8.1 laptop. I think the Acer driver is something which Microsoft pushed in an update to 8.1 recently. I may go in and see if I can revert it. Not sure I am much help as my only workaround was to grab my Win 7 laptop, which worked as it should. I did not have the time or patience to screw with it.

You may wish to go to Storage, on the Nexus 2012, and under the 3 dots, USB computer connection menu, and tick/untick Media Device
Windows 7 and 8, appear to have USB storage driver conflicts, when many different devices have been used repeatedly.
Good Luck!
There are other posts, in the General section, that deal, with this annoying issue.

Thanks for the hep but it didn't work.
Now the "old" icon came back with "connected as a media device" written with it but the tablet remain invisible.
Same problem here.
Fixed it by disconnecting teh device, going to device manager, showing hidden devices and uninstalling everything related to Nexus 7.
This includes Acer ADB, Android, Nexus7 and unknown devices.
After that I downloaded the Android SDK and installed the Google USB driver from it, connected my Nexus 7 and it werks.

Still nothing, I showed the hidden devices and unistalled all the voices under the "Acer" directory, I haven't found anything related to Android/Nexus 7.
Then i went to http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html and downloaded the USB driver, but the Nexus7 result again as an unspecified hardware.
Now it works ! I didn't touched it in the last 2 hours and now it works. :good::good:
