Is this normal? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It is weird, at work i have Windows XP and if i run stock rom MTP does not work and windows doesn't even detect my Phone, but with any custom ROM it does and i can transfer files back and forth.

I don't believe XP supports the MTP protocol.

Maybe that will help.

The weird thing is, if I an running a custom rom mtp works, just not with stock

Windows 7 and .NET

I'm using windows 7 and wanted to change ROM, i was wondering if the .net 3.5 thats recommended and needed for the HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex has any complications or if indeed is need at all?
can't comment on the tool you talk about
but win7 is the first windows that comes
with .net 3.5 installed from the start
I tried to flash my mobile from a Vista PC and I got problems with it.
So I went into the basement and used my old XP Computer.
And it worked flawlessly
Maybe Windows 7 works better, but I don't think so. Just try it and install .NET 3.5 and start RUU.
If it doesn't work, you got to look for a XP Computer

Maybe you had to install the cracked drivers (youwe got 64 and 32bit version), sometimes you need to disable the USB connection under WMdevice Center, put the device in bootloader and then run RUU update.
Argh sorry, totally forgot to mention that.
But I had tried (nearly) everything:
Flashing without changes in Vista (just WMDC installed)
disabled/enabled "allow USB connections"
normal/cracked drivers
...
So if somebody know what's wrong, please tell me ^^
If your using USPL you will need to update the HTC USB drivers as it will not detect the device, if you have flashed the hard SLP then you needed worry, it works fine, even in Windows 7, 32 and 64 bit
HSPL didn't work with my 32bit Vista, even not after updating the drivers
But that's Windows: Sometimes it works, most time it doesn't
Put HSPL from friends PC and than @ home just do upgrades via SD card
Thanks guys, some good info there, i'm liking windows 7 at the moment so will keep tryin to find a way to the HSPL, tried that friends option NikPraskaton but he has windows XP and is not detecting the phone anymore

Major USB Debugging issue - Windows 7

I'm trying to set up ADB on a Windows 7 PC as I prefer it over using my old XP PC. However, whenever my phone is connected with USB Debugging enabled the whole PC freezes. The only was to reverse it is to switch the computer off by the mains and back on again.
Anyone else experienced this? I can use HTC Sync though! I'm using Blayo's ROM in case that matters.
thats sounds like your pc problem. i'm using win 7 ultimate and pro without problem. i've not tested on a 64bit system tho...
had the same problem..
now everything is ok.. i think it was some app.. killd every app on the nexus s after that windows is running now 2h before it freezes every ~10min.
reason? maybe some app send to much/strange data over the USB port?
(i also enabled and disabled the ADB Interface driver in Device manager, but i think this was not the solution...)
EDIT: Thought had the solution, but it was just coincidence that win7 didn't crash... still have the same problem
Another thing you could try when these things happen is to reinstall the usb ports/drivers. Do this by going to Device Manager, right clicking on all the "USB Root Hub" and select uninstall. Once you've done that for all of them, reboot the pc and Windows will find and install them again.
Also check your firewall/AV isn't blocking anything.

[Q] Does anyone else have issues with RSD?

I can not get RSD to work on ANY of my machines.....
I have tried on Win7 (32 and 64 Bit) and Windows XP. The only way I have been able to flash is through Ubuntu.
The issue is that now I want to update the radio and that does not work the ubuntu way.
Just wondering if it is me only or if others have the same issue.
I believe I have the correct drivers installed and am running RSD 5.0 but nothing. RSD Recognizes the phone, but when it tries to transfer the files it fails!
NOW, my phone seems to be bricked as it started to transfer the files (Once) and then failed. Now states that there is no radio.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!

I did a fair amount of mucking about to get it to recognize files, and it sounds crazy but here is how I had most of my success -
...rename the file to have a space in the name... I can't think of any logical reason why this would make it work better but everytime I put my files in base of C:\ as suggested by most people I got about 30% success rate
but If i made sure I had full access to all users on the file, and it was called say 'update 1.sbf' I could ALWAYS apply it.

Try a different version of RSD. Google your problem/error message. It's a common error.
your problem (at least in win 7) might be caused by UAC.. try navigating to the installation folder ex: c:\program files\motorola\rsd lite\.. right-click on the executable file (SDL.exe), click run as administrator, then try to flash
I have been using Win7 x64 on two different PCs, and flashed dozens of times with no issues. Have you tried a different cable or USB port? You can check in device manager to see if you have a missing or bad driver, but it sounds like something else. Try reinstalling RSD or using a different version.
I found my problem being RSD wouldn't read from a directory with a space in it (users/first last). I moved the files to c:\ and it worked fine.

I'm using 4.9 and my issue is getting it to recognize my phone. I've tried so many different things and nothing seems to be working.
I was also trying to flash the radio.
I had problems with Vista 64. RSD Lite 5.0 wouldn't even detect the sbf, let alone the phone. I tried running it elevated, in compatibility mode, and using dozens of other suggestions (including everything already mentioned in this thread). Simply wouldn't work.
Then I tried it with Windows 7 32-bit, after installing MotoHelper and it seemed to work fine.
What usb setting did you leave your phone on? For me, Windows Media Sync worked well, and it detected the phone right away and had no problems with the radio sbf. I actually went to each usb setting and let it install drivers for all of them just in case, but left it at Windows Media Sync.

I think you have to use version 5 and later for it to work.

I did the same when I first hooked up my phone.. Let it install all the drivers by switching usb modes. Only difference is I flashed in motorola phone portal mode. Sometimes I have to un-check debugging mode then select it again for RSD to recognize it.
Just out of curiosity.. Has anyone got this to work in linux from a virtual windows machine?

Okay I'm using 5.0 now, I have all my drivers updated, I've done everything I can think of and It doesn't even recognize a device.
That sucks man! Sounds like a windows problem.. Is this a laptop or desktop? If it's a desktop, use the usb ports ob the back.. Otherwise, my only suggestion is to completely uninstall anything motorola related, download & run ccleaner to get rid of any leftover files, then try again. If that doesn't work, try a different pc or maybe consider re-formatting. You will not have these issues with a fresh install of windows

You're probably gonna have to try it on a buddy's XP box. (By far I've seen better results overall on XP)
Unfortunately RSD Lite is just as "Diva-like" as Samsung Kies.
Sometimes it has a conflict with a firewall, and other times it has a conflict for no reason at all...

Help with USB

Hello!
I just started having issues with my android phone and the ability to select the USB connection type (Charge, MTP, PTP, etc...)
I was getting the notification fine 10 minutes ago. But now it doesnt appear anymore....
I might have something to do with this issue.
I was trying to move files over to the phone and the file transfer froze and wasnt responding on windows PC.
I unplugged the phone and the transfer screen went away, tried to plug it in again and windows listed it as an unknown device.
Both of my windows PCs are having this problem. The USB cord still works as I have tested it on other devices. I have tried enabling USB debug mode and that didn't help.
My phone boots, all the apps seem to be working fine.
I have a samsung 64 gb micro sd inserted into the phone and it it formatted for marshmallow. (currently using this ROM: [ROM][Lux][XT1563/2] ֍ Marshmallux ֍ Stock based rom 6.0 [MPD24.65-18])
Couldnt find another post about this issue so Any help would be super.
So i figured out its something to do with windows 10.
I plugged my phone into a windows 7 pc i have and it worked as it did before.
solved
A simple restart did the trick.
Wasn't sure why this would help since i was having the issue on two windows 10 devices.
This seems like a really small problem so moderators can choose to delete this if the post is redundant.

No MTP over USB with any AOSP ROM

I'm having an issue with file transfer where my computer can't 'see' the phone when an AOSP ROM is installed.
File transfer is fine when mounting in recovery, also when I have OOS installed, so it isn't a hardware problem.
I've gone through the forum searching for a solution, and I have:
Changed the default USB configuration (under Developer options) to MTP
Uninstalled the phone from Device Manager on my computer
Tried installing OnePlus drivers to my computer
Tried installing Qualcomm drivers to my computer
Can anyone suggest a solution? I'm desperate to get this sorted as I can't tolerate OOS any longer, I just want a cleanish build of Android with no OnePlus rubbish in it!
I join your quest man... Im looking for the solution for this problem since i have installed my first AOSP rom on OP5... Never find the solution, i'm curious for this too... Now im on PureFusion and MTP of course isnt working... so i use recovery for file transfer (which is annoying) or the WiFi server (which is slow and isnt "operations" friendly)
In the same time cant understand why my nexus 6p with PureNexus is fully working in MTP but the oneplus 5 nope

That's interesting. I'm transferring like 80% of my files trough MTP and it is and always was working fine, but I'm using Linux, so that might help you guys to solve it

I know it's windows fault because when it have too many drivers to manage for the same thing it goes crazy.. but even removing every single driver (ADB and Android related) it doesn't work.. I'm looking in a solution on the Linux build called "forget windows use Linux" since I can't completely remove windows 10
I had same issue in Linux
Typically, issue is not the ROM
1) check the phone get set to "file transfer" when connected, you generally have option to chose
2) plugging to a usb in chain to other switches it was not work, connected directly to a usb MB port, worked.
