Cannot transfer files with MTP / Device not viewable in Windows Explorer

When I connect my Nexus 7 to my Windows XP (SP3) PC via USB, it's obvious the computer recognizes it and it tries to install ADB drivers. Whether I choose to install those drivers or not, I still can't locate my device in the Windows Explorer Tree. I checked Disk Management for the hell of it and nothing but my PC's harddrives were there. There's an attempt to install drivers for "MTP" but that fails and I'm pretty sure that's the cause; however, I'm unable to replicate it, even as I uninstall/reinstall applicable drivers from the device manager the MTP failure never happens anymore. I did some googling and found a thread with someone who had a similiar experience. In turn, I downloaded https://www.box.com/s/2c25e8bc42ecce400afd to try a different set of drivers. Same problem. Driver install is fine for ADB, but still unable to see my device in Windows Explorer. I'm able to successfully connect the device to the PC with PTP for the camera. I can access DCIM and cache which can serve as a work around, but I'm hoping you can provide any ideas you might have. Thank you!
edit - ***resolution***: Ok, I figured it out...I had to disable USB debugging. I don't know if this helped either, but I installed these drivers as an alternative to the drivers that were originally installed: https://www.box.com/s/2c25e8bc42ecce400afd
While connected to PC, I switched to PTP mode because I was about to give up and just use that
I then disabled usb debugging and switched back to MTP at which point the drivers successfully installed and I could now view my device in Windows Explorer. I also believe downloading the drivers in the link above helped since the first crack I took at this was unsuccessful with existing drivers.

install pdanet on pc and it will install drivers for u so it will be recognized

Been battling with this on my XP machine since yesterday. I couldn't even get debugging to work until I installed NakedDriver. And even still, there seems to be no way to get MTP to work without turning debugging off. On my Win7 machine everything worked perfectly, both ADB and MTP, right out of the box. I have the Galaxy Nexus drivers installed on both machines (which I've read are compatible with the N7). I also have the latest version of Windows Media Player (I've read that some older versions have issues with MTP). Is anyone else able to run ADB and MTP on XP?
*edit*
A: Does PDAnet let you use MTP and ADB simultaneously? Because I really don't want to install it if I don't have to. I got rid of it ages ago (too many things starting up at boot time).
B: I have a Galaxy Nexus also, and I have no issues on the XP box.

I wouldn't bother with MTP, it's not always showing the contents of the internal storage properly when viewed in Windows Explorer.
Earlier today when I was trying to set up a backup profile for it, it didn't copy all the files off. On closer inspection I found folders like TitaniumBackup to be completely empty, which is not true according to ES File Explorer on the tablet.
I tried connecting MTP again, with USB Debugging on and off but this made no difference. Also I'm only seeing the Notifications folder instead of 36 folders on the internal storage now, really random how it's working.

Same here. No change with the Asus drivers. Still can't use MTP when ADB is turned on.

poo. how do I transfer my audiobooks to this stupid device without working drivers?

1. Please disconnect Nexus7
2. Remove drivers on PC.
3. Toggle ON : Settings->Wireless&Networkings->More->NFC.
4. Re-connect device
Good luck !

1. Uncheck MTP, check the one next to it (Camera)
2. Unplug USB
3. Turn off USB Debugging (Uncheck it)
4. Plug in USB
5. Should say connected as camera, then a new window will pop-up allowing you to see your files.
Tell me if it works!

im having trouble too, is there any way to make the device to be recognised as a flash drive?

Internal memory partly invisible from Windows 7 Explorer

Same observation here (a few months later) on stock Android 4.1.1 rooted.
It seems that new files in the internal memory remain invisible for a long time, but so far they have become visible eventually, sometimes a day or two later. I have no clue what could possibly cause this, and I have not found any trick or workaround that makes them visible, not even rebooting. Any hint is welcome.

Didn't work. Just shows up as a camera with the limited folder access one would expect.

Workaround
I now use the following workaround.
Install SDrescan from Google Play.
Run it.
If you already had your phone connected to a computer as a media device (MTP) and are watching the contents of your SD card or internal memory in Windows Explorer, press F5 to refresh your view. If not, connect it now.
I'd be curious whether this works for you as well. If it does, press the THANKS button below.

Same issue with an old ibm x40 udated to windows xp pro SP3.
I've installed mtp driver, without success
I've "tried" to install asus driver, without success
I've tried to do as above with the help of the nexus toolkit, without success.
Everytime, the laptop recognize the device as android ADB interface.
Someone could help me?
Thank you in advance

This is part "bump" and part assistance. You can at least get the Nexus 7 connected via ADB using these steps:
enable USB debugging
install the Android SDK (from Android's developer site)
from the SDK manager install the latest version of the USB driver too.
Make sure your Nexus 7 is hooked up.
Go into your device manager (Start > Control Panel > Device Manager)
navigate to the right Nexus device (not MTP in this case),
right click it,
click Update Device Drivers.
Choose your own driver manually.
When asked for a folder, navigate to C:\[your username]\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver
make sure searching in folders is checked
...that should at least get the ADB driver running. From there you can PUSH or PULL files or open the SHELL, but I don't know of a client-side file manager that makes those things easy yet. This is just one step of many, I bet...

2 things
Have you the latest win media player installed on PC? If not, update it.
Is n7 USB debugging on? If so, turn it off.
That should allow MTP to begin. If not, try the previous post

If your using a N or KN version of Windows 7, you can't use MTP. N and KN versions of Windows have media foundation and other media-specific features stripped from it; and MTP itself does not work.
If you are on such an OS, then this media pack may help:

ADB works without a problem.. it is just hte MTP that wont show up

I have the same issue. If I select PTP, the camera shows. Once I switch back to MTP, it goes away and no disks are displayed. In Device Manager I see Android Phone, I installed Google drivers and adb works. I have a Google Nexus also and is OK.

You're not alone, Sir.

Anyone who found a fix for this? Couldn't get it to work on W7, on Windows 8 still no MTP. I can use it for debugging with the ADB, but everything I tried failed. Now I'm using AirDroid, but this option is the way slower.

Here's the official documentation from Google for enabling this protocol.
"Transfer files through USB" (Google this** and click the link by support.google.com)
Relevant Info:
On your device, make sure that the USB computer connection is set to “Media device (MTP).”
Go to Settings > Device > Storage. Then open Menu > USB computer connection.
MTP should be selected by default, but you may have to uncheck MTP, check and uncheck Camera (PTP), and then recheck MTP.

[Q] Nexus 7 MTP

Weird problem I'm having with Nexus 7 and MTP. So my girlfriend and I both have nexus 7. I recently Flashed my Nexus with AOKP and everything went smooth. Can connect my nexus 7 to my windows 7 ultimate 32 bit OS and it gets picked up and I can easily transfer files to and from. Last night I went to connect my girlfriends nexus 7 to same PC to transfer some movies for her and it would not pickup as MTP device. I switched from MTP to PTP. It gets picked up as PTP but I can't transfer movies to it, just pictures. So i changed it back to MTP and nada. In MTP mode the nexus gets picked up i see it in device manager as ADB device, nexus is charging while plugged in but does not show up in windows explorer. So i disconnected plugged in my nexus 7 and comes up just fine as MTP device. Switched back to hers and still nothing. So i thought it was her nexus. I decided to connect it to my mac and download the android file transfer app. That worked fine and I was able to transfer movies to it. connected it back to the windows machine and still nothing. I want to do a factory wipe on it and flash it but i really want to resolve this problem. I thought about just doing a factory reset to see if that fixes it but there has to be something else i can do. Also the only was I can get nexus root tool kit to pick it up to root and flash is to have it in PTP mode. any ideas? any help is greatly appreciated, thanks for listening!

Having a hard time thinking its a driver issue since my nexus gets picked up fine. wanted to add that I rebooted the pc and nexus with same result.

Try going to device manager and uninstall the drivers from your Nexus. Then unplug and replug it again and let it install its drivers again.

Try using USB Deview and delete all drivers pertaining to android. Then download the google usb drivers for Nexus 7 and see if it fixes the problem.

Try an app on the market called "stickmount" it should do the trick.

Another thing i just remembered it could be the cable your using. Speacialy if your nexus 7 are different i mean like one is 3g the other is wifi or one is 16 gb the other is 32 gb' so i would suggest using her original cable on her nexus 7 and same thing to you. About stickymount i dont think thats gonna work, kinda was thinking something else.

something is different between the 2 nexus, which doesn't make sense. They're both 32gb/wifi. So I used usb deview to uninstall all drivers. Then useed Nexus root tool kit to install drivers (somewhat) only went through frist 3 steps or so and windows installed ADB and Nexus 7 MTP driver and I was able to see my girl friends Nexus now as MTP device and transfer files to and from...just to play safe i used the USB cable that came with hers. I then connected my nexus which originally worked fine (but then i jacked up the drivers and they both wouldn't connect) and now does not get picked up as Nexus MTP, rather only ADB device shows up for it. So it looks like windows only likes one of them? Very strange, I'll keep playing with it but doubt I will be able to get them both to be picked up by windows as MTP....gotta love windows

so the only thing i notcied is when her nexus is connected if you go to control panel then devices and printers hers is now seen as Nexus Portabl Media player (MTP) and when mine is connected it comes up as Nexus 7 Unspecified and only driver i can install or updated is ADB..where with her device it is seen as ADB in device manager and also comes up as portable device nexus 7. Now i know if i use usb deview and uninstall all drivers then install mine first mine would probably be fine and then hers would prob not work

I have the exact problem ... but under win8. I have two Nexus 7s which I didnot have any (connecting issue) on my previous win7/64.
After upgraded to win8, windows only mounst one and refuses to mount the other. I can remove all devices relating to the Nexus7 then win8 will
mount the next N7 then refuses the other (the nexus7 is recorgnized but not mounted). Seems like it indexes the first Nexus then afraid to mount
the other as it sees a difference.
No solution so far, except everytime I want to work with the other Nexus, I have to remove&re-install the driver.
It has no issue when I connect other Android devices (AsusTF101, Nook Color, Samsung 4 Player).. Just refusing the identical twin.

Yup, it appears that USB Debugging suffers some sort of identity crisis after a root or OTA to 4.3 - toggled debugging off & the MTP mount worked as advertised.
Had to revoke all debug authorizations and re-init for USB debugging and MTP to function together.
SIGH!

I started experiencing this issue right after the OTA to 4.3 update on both my wife and I's rooted Nexus 7 Tablets, both first gen and current. The issue was resolved by removing the drivers from my computer and before reinstalling them revoking all ADB/USB debugging authorizations. I'll post the the steps I took.
1. Followed the Wug Fresh steps for removing Android related drivers (I have owned a lot of Android devices so I cleared the slate of everything)
2. Turned off debugging on both tablets with MTP on
3. Revoked USB debug authorizations on both devices
4. Connected the first gen N7, let drivers install
5. Turned on USB debugging while still connected
6. Repeat 4 & 5 for second gen
7. Both tablets connect with no issues and I have adb access to them

I suggest you have a look here.
this worked perfectly for me.

[Q] No MTP connection

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

[Q] Nexus 7 USB connectivity to Windows XP SP3

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???

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.

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.

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???

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
