Android File Transfer not working - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Simple question - I can't get Android file transfer on my Mac, which is running 10.8.1, to connect to my N10, which is running 4.2.2 build JDQ39. AFT simply won't recognize it, and I know that there is a connection because the tablet will charge when connected. Thoughts anyone? The storage mode is MTP, and I tried PTP as well. I'm thinking the recent update may be the cause, as this is the first time I've had the issue.

Same here. Try using kies or air kies for now.

No odin......

Anything that I can try besides Odin to flash the EB01 modem with? I can't get odin, our my computer, to recognize my phone while in download mode.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Do you the latest drivers?
Are you entering download mode with the battery out?
You gotta work on getting your pc to see your phone properly before you can even try odin, definitely need the right drivers, also can try rebooting phone while usb is plugged in.

Ad far as I know I have the latest drivers. I finally got the pc to recognize the phone with it turned on to transfer files. So that tells me the drivers are working. And yes, entering dl mode by pulling batt. Not sure where to go from here.
Try all your USB ports. Are you using the original cord that came with your phone?
If you know how to use adb see if normal operations work

FYI I have one desktop and three laptops in my house. one laptop refuses to recognise my fascinate... all the others work fine. Oddly enough..that same computer recognises my friends fascinate. Neither the laptop or my desktop would recognise my droid x but my mothers laptop works fine with my x.
I beginning to think all phones have crappy usb drivers.
I eventually got my desktop to recognise the X too but I had to do some wanky driver cleaning and removing / reinstalling all the USB hardware detected by windows.. and some cab cleaning.
not even sure what worked.
stuff is wack...
I have started cleaning my register on my laptop. Just to see if that would work. Lol. Got to get some permissions worked out first though.

issue mounting sd

i seem to have a problem with mounting the internal storage on the phone, it doesnt ask me to mount when i plug the phone in like it normally would so i tried mounting through recovery but still cant do it through there, tried 3 different roms and all the same issue, are there any kernels with this issue? im running newest nscollab with the kernel it comes with...not sure what to do
are you running the latest recovery? can you use the storage space with apps on the phone?
I have been having the exact same problems. Nothing seems to work. Can't mount through CW and I have the most recent version. Randomly it started to work again by turning the phone off. Plugging phone into computer. Turning phone back on. It would recognize it until now. Now that doesn't work....
I am using Mac and Linux and neither one need drivers so that has nothing to do with it.
I'm screwed if I have to take the phone in for warranty work because I am rooted.
Anyone come up with something to fix this?
Or is there a way to "force it to mount?"
Its really f'in annoying

So it's showing the storage on the phone and not on the computer, correct?
Can you select to mount the USB when you plug it in?
Does the device show up in the System Profiler app in Mac OS X?

That is incorrect. It does not show up on the phone. When it shows up on the phone it mounts to the computer. It is not even recognizing it on the phone now. For awhile it was working and now its not again. Haven't done anything else to the phone.
When it doesn't show up on my phone it is not recognized by the system profiler.
Never had a problem with any other android device except on my epic 4g when I tried running the miui beta for it. But it would still mount in clockwork.
It is not the cable because I have four different cables. One of which works flawlessly on my epic. Which had a lot of problems when using the stock cable.
Is this hardware related or is it because of the rooting process?
What r some possible fixes if any?
I really would not mind going back to stock and starting over. But the only way to get back to stock is by USB. And nothing recognizes it. Adb. Fastboot. Odin (heimdall in Mac terms) nothing recognized it

okay, I had this issue when the nexus s 4g was first released and the first roms/recoveries came out. I would just start over. backup using titanium backup and flash the stock files in fastboot, then unlock again, flash the recoveries, etc.
How exactly would I revert to stock if commands from my computer in fastboot do not recognize the device?

Try es file explorer and give root access ... this was u can atleast access files from your phone...
PROBLEM SOLVED... at least for me
Found out when flashing to a stock rom (currently running MIUI) that my usb port on my phone is loose. Just have to be careful with it. Makes sense that it was randomly happening.
With MIUI it wouldn't show right away because I had it set to auto-mount. But when i flashed the stock rom. The pop-up to mount-sd would show up and go away show up and go away....
Darn.

[Q] Epic4G Mass Storage

Firmware: 2.3.5, Baseband: S;D700.0.5S.EI22, Kernal: 2.6.35.7, Build: GINGERBREAD.EI22
I applied the recent Gingerbread update via OTA, and Rooted via:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwFRzzIqouE & http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWOLEXqAeCc (qbking77)
Now, my Epic wont show up on my computer via mass storage.
Plug into PC, prompted for mass storage, never shows up in devices, but shows charging.
Updated drivers, does not show up in Kies either, Updated PRL, tried different ports, different cables. I also have a tab 10.1 and this has no issues.
Also had no issues prior to Rooting. No longer shows up in Odin either.
Suggestions please. Let me know if you need any other info.
Much appreciation in advance!

##8778# Make sure they are both set to PDA
Yes, they are both set to PDA ... primary concern is not them connecting to Odin or Kies. The point is that the PC is not recognizing it as a storage device.
Turn usb debugging off. Mine refuses to work with the debugging on for some reason. Give that a whirl

I just check mine and my uart is set to modem. Should I change it? What does that do?
Yes, when trying to connect to mass storage, i turn usb debugging off .. and it does not work. Regardless, I have tried with it on and with it off. And with it on, it does not show up in Device Manager either. With it on and with it off, it does not show up as a storage device, it does not show up in Odin or Kies. All it does is charge the device. Again, this worked fine up until I rooted it (the 2nd video link), and at that time, obviously, it showed up in Odin.
Also, I have attempted to unmount and re mount the sd card. This did not work either.
Is there anything else, less obvious, that I may be missing? Or something else that I could try to get this working again (besides removing root and cwm and restoring back to stock - last resort)?
Resolved. Apparently 3rd time is a charm ... re installed the drivers AGAIN. And now it is magically working. Thanks all.
My phone has only ever very sporadically successfully functioned as mass storage. I've played around with the modem/UART settings, USB debugging, drivers, and very little has done much of anything to actually help the situation. I think it has more to do with the moon and stars aligning just right...lol. Now that I have an SD card reader, it's a nonissue.
Mine only shows up as mass storage during a full moon and i can only interact with it without freezing if that full moon happens on the second Wednesday of the month. Lmfao..
Anywho i find it quicker and easier to just toss micro into adapter and pop it in the sd slot.

Pda allows it to be set as a storage device. My phone would not detect it was a mass storage device and only showed up as a modem until I changed this setting

Did you successfully root? Are you getting a popup message on your computer saying SAMSUNG device not detected?
I occasionally have this issue.
First try restarting your computer. If that doesn't work reinstall the drivers.
Restarting usually fixes it for me.
I have tried everything under the sun. No luck.
So now did a full hard reset, formatted my internal sd. Reinstalled everything.
And tried to connect, got connected.
Issue solved. I can detect both my internal and my eternal sd.

[Q] Rooting without USB cable

Hi.
I suspect that my Nexus 4 micro USB port is broken. My PC will not recognise it any more although the USB cable will still charge. It does not make any sound when connecting to my W7 computer and it does not show in the device manager. I have enabled and disabled USB debugging and MTP multiple times and it does not make a difference. I have tried in 2 different laptops with the same result. I unrooted my phone to upgrade my android version to the latest and after doing that I am not able to root it again because my USB connection is broken.
I was wondering if there is anyway to root my phone without a cable (some autoroot application which will run automatically after restarting the phone???).
Any ideas would be welcome.
Thanks!
Look at towelroot.com. it works on the n5. But be very aware that without usb if it doesn't work for you you may totally Bork your phone.
My recommendation is not to root without a working usb port.

If you have a custom recovery you can root just by flashing the latest superSU zip file.

FWIW, Towelroot worked on my Nexus 4 running stock 4.4.3 just yesterday.
