Update: I did a factor reset and that still didn't work. This really sucks...PLEASE HELP ME!!!
I recently installed Android 2.3.4 manually to my Nexus S (I9020T). Now I can no longer get USB connection to my computer. It charges fine, just no USB. I've manually installed multiple times and this is the first time I've had a problem. I searched through the forums and no one else seems to be having this issue. Without USB connection I can't even reinstart the ROM and all my files and pics are trapped on the phone...PLEASE HELP!!!
If you're using Windows 7 x64, you'll need to install 64bit drivers (if you haven't already).

My notebook at home is Windows 7 64 bit, my work PC is Windows XP. I was able to mount the USB on both of them before this update. Where would I get drivers for this update that would make it work on both computers?
I have a Nexus 7 that used to be able to be seen (and trnasfer files) on my Win 7 64-bit Ultimate pc. It is not visible in Explorer now- think it happened after upgrade to 4.2.2
I have tried various ways and means from this site and others but still unsuccessful. My pc kept wanting to install MTP USB drivers everytime I plug the N7 into it even when I have it set as PTP; and the drivers always failed.
I downloaded the Universal naked Drivers and tried to install it as well but problem is that my device only show up as MTP USB (under portable devices) instead of as N7; and under that the drivers is always the failed MTP USB drivers. I cannot browse to install Universal Drivers here cos the pc will not accept it.
Really running out of my wits. Any advises please?
Thanks.
I had initial problems connecting to my pc after installing all the drivers from a toolkit. After searching, I followed a tip and installed pdanet on my phone and pdanet for android on my pc. Now I connect exactly like my phone or other storage with full access to the user storage on the n7 from the pc. Win 7 pro 64bit.
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.

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 all,
I bought a Nexus 10 recently and updated it to kitkat 4.42. I wanted to root it, so I downloaded the latest NRT and proceeded to follow the instructions. This started out with uninstall previous drivers, lunching USBDeview and uninstalling everything related to the Android.
BUT, when I plug my nexus 10 into my PC with windows 7, I get the message, driver installation unsuccessful. It doesn't show up as storage either. However, it does charge and it does say"connected as media device" on the nexus. I tried switching from MTP to PTP and back, but no go.
So I plugged it into my windows 8 laptop and it DOES appear as storage on it and works fine. It makes it sound like its an issue with my PC or windows 7.
Any ideas on how to fix this? I'm only on my laptop when I work so its quite annoying to have to only transfer files from there.
Thanks in advance!
Download the android sdk. This contains thr drivers. Then install the drivers manually.
