[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.

Just getting to see these replies, thanks guys! Will give these a shot now and report back what happens...wish me luck haha :good:

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.

think i just made it worse used usb deview and now I can't get my nexus to show up as MTP device. Both nexus are 32gb wifi only. I used usb deview to uninstall all android and nexus 7 drivers...there were quite a few...downloaded nexus 7 drivers from asus site...when i plugged the nexus in windows installed its own driver, i tried to update the driver with driver from asus but windows indicated that the latest driver was already installed...I think i'll try installing the drivers from the root tool kit and see what happens ...ugh

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.

same issue here, also (win8 x64)

I'm using windows 7 but when my nexus is not mounting I turn and android debugging and it mounts right away well for me at least.

And BINGO!

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!
Cheers

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.

Hi,
Try re-installing the drivers.
If you don't have proper drivers for USB, try any one of these:-
1. PdaNet
2. Universal Naked Drivers
3. MTP Drivers.
This might solve your problem.

Can you post me the link of it and how to install

I didn't even have to install drivers when I use my phone. It should be plug and play if you're just using it for mass storage.

http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/ Link to his website and to the downloads.
Uploaded 2 pictures, basically click on the Driver Installation Guide
Then follow the steps. When picking a driver, pick the RAW drivers. I tried the first two and didnt work for me.. at least on my Windows 8 setup, (it did when I had 7).
This is also a toolkit if you want to root your phone which was what I was doing at the time lol :good:

Thats how it was on my Windows 7 setup but for some reason on my Windows 8 on my rig and laptop it detected as mass media but kept dcing when I was transferring large files and it wasnt the cord because after updating the drivers it works fine.

Cannot get PC to recognize my Note 3

So i try to connect my phone to my PC and all it does is charge the phone. I was able to root the Note with CF's method but i can't get it to appear under devices lime my S4. I tried using the USB 3.0 cable and also a 2.0 cable with the same result, i also tried uninstalling the Samsung drivers and updating them to 1.5.27.0 but no success there either. Any ideas on how i can connect my note and have it seen as a camera?
thanks

ok, thanks i will try
EDIT: It didnt work.
any other suggestions?

anybody??

It should works. If you are using Windows, please make sure you run the Kies3 application, not the previous Kies. If you have not uninstall previous Kies, there would be 2 applications of Samsung Kies.

What about on mac?

Did you try toggling the USB debug off/on to see if that makes any difference ?

I have the same problem as the OP. I am running Windows 8.1 X64 and I tried usb debugging and Kies 3. This is frustrating I am unable to connect to my PC.

Got mine reconnecting by removing drivers under driver properties and then reattached phone and windows installed proper drivers all on its own.

Uninstall in a clean way (using, e.g., Driver Sweeper) any previous installed drivers and re-install this one: Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones 1.5.27.0 [Drivers Win 8/7/XP]. Should make it happen.

Use kies 2 not 3 or the drivers alone package and should work.

For me it didn't work with a standard micro USB cable. Just charges only.
I used the USB3 cable that is bundled with the device and it connects no problem. even when connected to a USB 2 port on my PC.
i bought a 3rd party USB3 cable from ebay and this works also.

The issue was from a intel Host USB driver, got Dell pro tech support to troubleshoot the issue for me and we updated the drivers and it worked

I've used mine successfully on several Win 7 computers with USB2 & 3 cables. No additional drivers or Kies needed. The phone shows as a media device right away.

i Did every thing kies 3 and mobogenie etc but no result im using windows 7 64 bit ,
please help me out from this problum any one can do this?:crying:

I also had a problem on a Dell. I did system restore, then it worked again.

I've also got a dell computer and I'm dealing with this exact problem. I've only got USB 3.0 ports on my computer. MTP works fine on other computers though. Could you share your updated drivers?

I doubt my drivers would work as they are specific for my xps 13. But just wipe your chipset drivers, use a registry cleaner to clean it up and reinstall chipset drivers and usb host if you have them

Ccleaner is the best. Make sure you hit yes when it prompts you to backup registry to make sure no boo boo happens

[Q] Cannot connect to PC issue, tried everything I can think of...

Having trouble connecting this tablet to anything. I have tried 3 separate computers (Windows 7 on two of them, XP on the other), 3 different cords, USB debugging is checked in settings, and drivers are installed. None of the computers detect it at all, I connect the cord and nothing happens. No sound, and nothing pops up in the device manager of the PC's. It's almost as if the Micro USB port in this tablet is dead.
I want to make sure I have tried everything before I crack it open and take a look inside. I'm not a n00b to androids or tablets. All my devices are rooted and I just installed a ROM in my A200, etc. But this a problem I've never encountered. Any ideas to something else I can try?

Drivers...Acers and those from the sdk.
Try putting tab in apx mode and then connecting...
failing that uninstall ALL drivers then reinstall only the a500 drivers...
Also try opening cmd on the folder which contains adb.exe

Yes you will, unless someone has come up with a driver fix lately. Use xp, Vista or win 7....or linux
Sent from my HTC_PN071 using Tapatalk

Did all of the above steps, no dice.
I opened a cmd window while in apx mode and adb could not find a device.
Tried all of my USB ports on my PC after I reinstalled the drivers.
I really think the micro usb port in this thing is dead but the regular usb port works fine.
I'm lost on what to try next
