Good day, normally when I plug-in my other Android Devices on PC, I'll see them on "My Computer" and can see the files like a normal drive, but with the Nexus 7 I get nothing, I also tried to install the Nexus 7 Toolkit for the drivers, but still can't access the files. I'm on 4.2.1 right now, anybody can help? Thanks in advance!
I installed the drivers from the 'Wugfresh nexus root toolkit', installed the android sdk, installed the pda.net app on the N7 and the win version of pda.net on the pc and then the connection worked. Some have had to go into 'device manager' on the pc and uninstall any reference to the nexus or unknown devices and connect again. Also, usb debugging should be on and you should set the n7 to mtp mode. It is almost always a driver issue.
If you want you can use even airdroid via Wi-Fi connection.

The Nexus uses the MTP mode to connect to your computer. This mode works best on a recent Windows operating systems with Windows Media Player 13 or better. The Nexus will appear as a Device - usually Nexus7.
Just search this forum for MTP for help with Windows XP, Linux and Apple systems.
Will this work on Windows 7? I tried to check updates on Windows Media Player 12 and it says I already have the latest version, no device on My Computer for my Nexus 7..

It should just work on a Windows 7 computer - it did on mine. Try turning the Nexus fully off, connecting it to the computer and then turning on the Nexus. I noticed mine updated some drivers when I did this.
Also try another USB cable as those do fail.
If you're looking to transfer stuff like music, video and ect. You can do that over wifi by using an app on the Google play store called airdroid. I use the very same app to transfer files.

I'm on Windows 7 Home 64 Bit, I tried turning it on while plugged on my laptop but still no luck. All my other android devices works fine, it's just the Nexus 7 that is problematic.. I also tried AirDroid, not so good with large files especially movies when I travel
Are you connected to the internet with your windows7 pc?
Maybe it can't download the necessary files/drivers?

Is "USB Debugging" off in settings - developer options? Maybe also leave developer options off for now.
I got USB Debugging off, I'm on 4.2.1. Still no luck.. I just use AirDroid now even though its very slow for me..
Well I just connected my Nexus 7 to my PC and straight away my PC asked me if I wanted to view Nexus 7 files.
My PC is running Windows 7 64 bit.
I am able to look what is in the Nexus and I am also able to add or delete files as I want - great. :good:
I solved my problem with transferring large files, I didn't realize it's very simple, instead of MTP I just chose PTP and Windows detected it as a portable device, tranferred files from my PC to the Nexus 7's DCIM folder. Unplug the USB then just move them anywhere on the device's storage using a file manager.. It's that simple..

SOLVED:
in device messenger, right click on 'unknown device' and update driver/browse my computer../let me pick from list.../portable device/Manufacturer(standard MTP device)/MTP USB device
say YES to install anyway (even though it will blow up the world). after install, unknown device changes to Nexus 7 (or 10 I would hope, but I have 7), this also fixes problem with my Kindle Fire HD 7.
YaY!

I found the same results after rooting my Nexus. Uninstalling WUGs toolkit and restarting restored the MTP mode and ADB also continues to work. This won't erase any backups you've made. If not WUGs maybe something else you've added is blocking the MTP mode.
Sorry I still can't figure it out. I am on stock rom, with root access. I have debug usb enabled. I can connect it as PTP or MTP....with PTP, the nexus 7 is displayed as 'nexus 7' and I can access the DCIM and picture cache folder (pretty useless....). With MTP, the device won't even be detected by windows. It will not search for drivers.
My target is to be able to write bigger files...I am speaking about 1 gigabyte or more. Through WiFi it would be a pain...if it is a picture or even a collection of a few hundreds megabytes....ok, I could do it, but sometimes I need to move GBs of things, and with wifi is obviously too slow....so how do I get to move this stuff via usb? I thought even copying from PC to usb stick, and then copying from stick to nexus (with usb host....stickmount or usb host or another app) would be even faster than doing everything via wifi, but it is just lame.
HELP!

drumtrucker, I think you're on to something here, but you meant "Device Manager" which may be found either in your start menu or by pressing windowsKey+r and typing "control" then hitting enter.

Hi,
This is my first Nexus device (N4), I know they have an emulated SD card, so I expected to connect it to my Win 7 PC via USB, and for the SD card directory to be shown as a file system / drive in Windows. This doesn't happen.
Phone is in MTP mode, screen isn't locked. Am I missing something here, a driver perhaps, or does this functionality no longer exist?
Thanks,
Des
You should get a Nexus 4 device along with your drives, you open that, then go to 'internal storage'
If you're not getting that, then it's probably driver related.
If it doesn't detect by USB at all, you may have a faulty device like me.
If you plug your phone into the wall with the AC adapter, does it constantly say " charging (USB)" in the battery settings?
This defect means I cannot root or charge the phone properly... It sucks..

Most likely a driver issue. When I have use the adb driver I cannot see my device as a storage device. Switching to the default driver Windows installs lets me see it but adb no longer works.
I ended up just using AirDroid to do any file transfers.
There are a few reports of the stock charger being reported as USB charging actually, so it might not be all bad.
The phone might be in MTP mode, but has it installed the MTP driver ? Check Device Manager.
On my own XP system, MTP wouldn't work for me until I turned off USB debugging.

^ This.
On XP, MTP does not work if USB Debugging is turned on. It may be the same for Windows 7 as well.
Same behavior on Windows 7, just fixed my issues. Thanks!
I got similar problem with my N4, yesterday I flashed Mahdi-ROM 2.4[1/02] then my USB stopped working. I can view files through PC, but cannot upload to phone. It says device has been disconnected, but it's still connected Turning off USB debuging didn't help.
I cannot even flash kernel uploaded through Airdroid, recovery gives error - cannot open zip file.
Edit: Nevermind, its PC problem. With other PC it works normal.
use universal naked drivers.
fastboot adb and mtp and ptp working.

After I rooted my N4 a few months ago same thing, cannot get MTP on WinXP
Works fine on my Win7 machines though, its pretty annoying
Tried ALL the fixes I could find, no go
Uninstal all drivers, reconnect N4 let Windows install drivers, it will probably be adb device drivers, then select in device manager adb device drivers update drivers and check install from specific location and on next screen check don't search!
Then you could be able to select mtp. All of this should be done with USB debugging turned off and USB connection as mtp!

Hey Buudy thanks this helps me
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.

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.

Hello, I am trying to connect my nexus 4 to my computer to put some music on. This used to work, but now it is being detected as an unknown device.

What OS are you using? Windows? Mac? A linux distro?
Also, are you sure you're using MTP instead of PTP (Settings > Storage > menu > Usb Computer Connection) ?
You can try to install google's drivers from the android sdk as well.

I know this is a silly thing to ask, but have you tried rebooting your phone? Something like this happened to me before and a reboot fixed it.
Also, if you have a custom kernel, check that you have USB fast charge disabled. And after that fails, try installing google's drivers. Sorry, I'm just spouting out random ideas at this point.

Use trickster mod and go to the Kernel Specific page. If fast charge is ticked off, there's not much we can do from there.

Also it seems like half the time its not even in the device manager as an unrecognized device, and then it intermittently pops up a window saying unrecognized device detected... maybe my USB port is broken on the phone?
Is there something simple I have overlooked to get 4.2.2 to work with my computer?

Have you managed to solve this? I'm facing almost the same problem!
No, I tried for hours with no luck. I am glad I am not the only one, hopefully a solution will come to us. I have been using airdroid to transfer files from my phone in the mean time.
Im also having the same issue except my computer only recognizes my phone when its connected as a camera.

I am having a similar problem with my daughter's Nexus 4 phone, which is not rooted nor unlocked - it is still completely stock. It was just updated to Android 4.3, however I can't say that this is the cause of the problem because she never attempted to connect her phone to the desktop machine before.
I have a Windows 7 x64 box at home, and spent over two hours last night trying to get the computer to correctly recognize the Nexus 4 phone. I was hoping that the standard MTP Windows driver would handle it perfectly, but no luck. I tried the Google usb drivers, and the ADB interface was recognized, but still no access to the internal storage. I then gave the Naked Drivers a try, and no joy there either.
I am beginning to suspect that the MTP drivers on my desktop are munged, but do not relish the thought of a Win 7 wipe and reinstall.
Anyone else have any ideas?
Thanks much!
I am having a similar problem where I have USB storage set to MTP and Windows doesn't pick it up, whereas PTP Windows will pick up but I can't access any folders other than the camera related folders like DCIM.
So my workaround is doing it the old fashioned way through CMD in windows using adb push.
Example:
Assuming you have all the stuff you want to transfer in a folder called stuff, adb is located in C:\adb, and your folder known as stuff is also in C:\adb:
C:\adb>adb push stuff /data/media/0
The above command starting from the ">" will transfer all files in the folder called stuff to the root of /sdcard. In the N4, /sdcard is symbolically linked to /data/media/0.
Of course you need USB debugging enabled for this to work...
Device Manager (Hopefully this helps)
In the start menu type device manager, in that window you should see android and or something similar at the top. You want to drop the menu down and right click what should say Google ADB Interface and delete it, make sure you check the confirmation box. After reboot your computer! Once booted plug your phone in a viola!!!
I'm having a similar issue.
I can open device manager but there in no Android anything listed. All that comes up when I plug my phone in is 'unrecognized usb device'. I have 5 different cable I have tired. The OS will only bring up the usb error in a USB 3.0 port. It will not do anything if I use the 2.0 port.
I have gone and tried to manually update the drivers through the device manager but when I select the drivers from Android SKD or any of the other driver packs I get an error that it is not a x64 driver.
I found one suggestion about modding the driver to include the device but windows will not even recognize the device other than a unknown usb.
I'm going to have a bricked computer soon. Any help would be appreciated.

First, Google universal naked drivers xda. Try those. If they don't work go into device manager and go to where it says let me choose drivers from my computer. Then look for the android composite adb interface.
If you're on win 8 you'll need to allow unsigned drivers. Google how to do that

Windows 7x64 on all machines. I am trying this on 2 work computers and getting the same result. I have 2 issues that I think are the root of the issue.
#1 is the phone doesn't do anything in USB debug mode. I keep seeing references to having to approve the computer connection but I haven't seen that yet. I have tired 9 usb ports. 6 on my main computer will not bring anything, not even the usb drive. 3 on the labtop will only bring up a 'unrecognized usb drive'.
#2 is the computer will not recognize the device in anything other than a 'unrecognized usb drive' (UUD). Everyone keeps mentioning the Android Composite ADB interface. It's not there, it doesn't show up or as an option. I can go into the device manager and find the UUD and try and update the driver via the manual method with a disk but it doesn't list any type of hardware that is related to Android or ADB.

Hello,
"#1 is the phone doesn't do anything in USB debug mode." This is normal!
How I experienced the USB debugging option is that, if turned ON:
1. The Nexus does not appear in my Windows env
2. BUT when in recovery mode, I can use the "adb" commands
If USB debugging turned OFF:
1. Then I CAN see the Nexus in my Windows env
2. BUT I cannot use the "adb" commands in recovery mode.
So you definitely need to have the USB debugging option turned off if you want to see your nexus in Windows, IMO

Windows 7x64 on all machines. I am trying this on 2 work computers and getting the same result. I have 2 issues that I think are the root of the issue.
#2 is the computer will not recognize the device in anything other than a 'unrecognized usb drive' (UUD). Everyone keeps mentioning the Android Composite ADB interface. It's not there, it doesn't show up or as an option. I can go into the device manager and find the UUD and try and update the driver via the manual method with a disk but it doesn't list any type of hardware that is related to Android or ADB.

I think you really have an issue with the drivers. I would install the Google USB drivers. Maybe a bit heavy but then you can be sure that drivers are fine:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
put in a new SSD and got Windows 8.1, did a fresh install on a new hard-drive, everything's been working great, My nexus 4 has worked with with ADB./Fastboot and I've been able to transfer files to and from it in MTP mode. Been like that for about 4 days until about 3 hours ago, I had Windows Explorer crash, had to run Task Manager, end the process, and then manually restart explorer.exe My device was plugged in when this happened, and afterwards, I noticed that I could no longer see my Nexus 4 under the Devices & Drives section of "This Computer" (My Computer had a better ring to it lol) First I tried rebooting both my laptop and my Nexus 4, then I tried uninstalled the drivers, rebooting, re-installing, and then rebooting again. Did that like 4 times now, each time re-downloading the drivers, and doing an MD5 hash to create a Checksum, and checking them each time. Also to no avail. ADB shows my device serial number when i enter : ADB Devices, but says it's unauthorized, so if I try anything like: ADB Reboot Bootloader, it says Device is not authorized.
So ! I don't understand wtf is going on. Was working fine before. The drivers are up to date, I just flashed the Official OTA image, and was on the leaked image prior to that. Then earlier this evening I switched to the newest version of the Nexus 5 Port, and everything was still working fine, hadn't made any changes in a couple hours before this happened. When I install the drivers, It acts like it worked. Instead of saying "NEXUS 4" under Other Devices in my Device Manager, it says Composite ADB Interface under Android Devices and MTP under Portable Devices. Sometimes tho the MTP entry will still show the Yellow Exclamation Point. But goes away. Don't know whats up with that either.
Also, it wont let me install drivers unless I am in MTP mode, which Usually you can install them regardless (tho I never tried in Camera mode, I am just assuming about that one) Usually I install drivers without MTP or Camera modes checked, but now if I try it, it says that Windows Cant find the Drivers, even tho I am obviously browsing for them myself and selecting them. And just now I tried updating instead of re-installing them, and it keeps saying that Windows has determined they are the most up to date.
So I am out of I ideas. I even updated windows media player cause that's what fixed my issue on Day 1 of running Windows 8.1 when it wouldn't recognize it at all. So I don't know. Sorry for the long post but I wanted to make sure I got everything in there so hopefully someone can narrow down what the issue is. Cause I've been at it for 3 hours, haven't slept yet, my Nexus 5 gets here today, and I need to get this fixed before I sell it to my buddy. Its brand new, only 15 days old.*
Any thoughts ?*
First, connect your Nexus 4 and use Device Manager to uninstall both MTP and ADB devices, make sure to check the box to delete the driver files as well. Then uninstall any other usb or adb drivers for other Android devices.
Then disable USB Debugging on the phone and get MTP to work first, Windows should be able to install it automatically.
For ADB, Windows 8 will not allow to install unsigned driver. To install unsigned driver, reboot Windows 8 into Advanced startup and press F7 at the menu to disable driver signature (Google it if you don't know how). Although you could install Google USB driver which is signed I think, I recommend using Universal Naked Driver (link in sig.)
ADB Devices, but says it's unauthorized

You need to authorize it from your phone, when you connect your phone to the PC with USB Debugging turned on, a toast message on the phone will ask you to authorize the device.

ok I am gonna try that now. And as far as the part about my phone being unauthorized. I already knew about the notification that pops up, i was waiting for it to happen. Never did tho. Maybe it will happen after I do the rest of what you said. thanks, i will post my results in a min
no matter what i do, i cant get MTP working. When i uninstall the ADB entry in Device Manager it gives me the check-box option for removing drivers as well, but not on MTP. And now it wont even give me the option to uninstall, update, or anything at all, even tho I uninstalled it already so it should at least give me the option to install drivers. Even tho it's showing up in Device Manager as a Portable device, if I look in Printers and Devices, it shows up as unspecified device. Disabled USB Debugging, and all that. it says its working but it wont show up in My Computer>Devices and Drives still. For some reason ever once in awhile it will pop up with the Yellow Exclamation Point tho, only for a brief second tho. other then that, its shows it like it's running correctly. Also, nothing pops up saying that windows is installing drivers when i plug it in. Which in Win 7, XP, etc, it always did. Does this not happen in Windows 8.1 ?
Also, under Driver Details, which is the only option it lets me click on MTP, it says the drivers are from 2006 lol
Update - Just reinstalled the drivers for ADB and enabled USB Debugging, and everything is still saying its working even tho its not. But when I take my phone out of MTP mode it shows up in device manager under "Other Devices" as Nexus4, with a Yellow Exclamation, and it gives me the option to update drivers, so i tried, but it says Windows Can't find my driver. This is very frustrating.
Had this problem aswell, which was caused by the N version of Windows 8 versions.
These versions dont have Windows Media Player istalled, which is needed for MTP to work.
So to fix your problem you need to download that latest Windows Media Player (WMP) from microsoft and install that.
I dont have the N version, I have WMP installed, i mentioend your fix in the OP. Had to update it, and it worked. It was working fine for the last few days, then it stopped working suddenly
double post, sorry. dont know why that happened.
Vouch. Since I use win8.1 (no n version) Mtp doesnt work. I tried all known drivers, disabled driver signature and so on. The only working combination for me is Usb Debugging + PTP. Then I use file manager to cut the files. Airdroid would be an alternative as well.
update - SOLVED * Kind of.....I say kind of cause I still don't know what caused it but apparently Flashing to the Nexus 5 Port fixed the issue lol. I am assuming something pertaining to the way USB connectivity is controlled by Android got corrupted, and a fresh install was in order. Whatever it was, it worked and i am back in business. thanks to all those who attempted to help.
