Ok so I think I've searched well enough to conclude no one has my particular problem. When I plug in my A500 into my computer that has windows 7 windows recognizes that something was plugged in but not what it is. It says USB device not recognized, unknown device, and so on. I've tried installing the drivers from the acer website, I've tried installing the drivers from the link in the ics rooting thread, I've tried using the google android drivers and none have worked. I've even tried reinstalling windows but that had nothing to do with this it was a different thing that made me do it. Nothing has worked and I've become a bit frustrated with the tablet. Any suggestions on what to do?
Thanks

What state are you connecting it in (recovery, fastboot, normal boot)?
Moborobo test program
Sorry forgot to say, it's stock rom not rooted and is being connected in normal boot.

tick the usb debugging

Moborobo, download the program and try it. Ami has worked with me many android devices

Moborobo, download the program and try it. to me has run many android devices. sorry for my English
Your computer isn't detecting it at all, or is there an error while trying to identify it? Make sure you have the proper drivers for your device on your computer.
It's an error identifying it. I do have the correct drivers the a500 drivers from either the rooting guide or the Acer website neither has worked.
Moborobo does not work with the a500. I tried it and it still says to connect my device. which it is but it's just unrecognized.
If you have installed the driver correctly, AND you had administrator rights when you installed, should be no reason why you can't get the PC to recognize the device.
First, I would advise using a good USB cable. It's been known in the past, that some folks try to use a printer cable, and sometimes it doesn't work. If changing cables doesn't work, then do the following
1. In Device Manager, try loading the drivers manually. You should be able to have it search the windows system for the drivers. If it doesn't find it, then windows is being stupid. Try installing it manually (ignore the warning it may not be compatible,.....)
2. If that doesn't work, then you can use the Google USB drivers
http://www.redmondpie.com/android-u...r-samsung-htc-asus-sony-lg-and-other-devices/
Generally, we install the Android SDK first;
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
And again, have Device manager look to that directory and manually select.
Either way, this should get you up and running.
And one more thing, turn on USB Debugging in your tablet's system properties.
MD
I've tried that. Didn't seem to work as windows would still not recognize the a500. And the usb debugging has been on since the beginning.
Okay i've gotten windows to the point of being able to install the drivers from the device manager but there is no clear option to choose. Here are the choices:
acer android communications port
acer android modem
acer hs-usb android diag
acer hs-usb diagnostics
acer composite adb interface
acer fastboot interface
acer picasso usb boot-recovery driver (google driver)
android bootloader interface (google driver)
So any suggestions cause I've tried installing the adb interface, fastboot interface and the android bootloader interface and haven't gotten any good results.
Thanks
Did you try a second PC? Sometimes a machine can get wonky if you've been using for years. Using a second machine or reinstalling Windows freshly would greatly increase the chances of detection.
Yep tried about 3 machines.

I'm having the same issue with a bricked A500 I bought on ebay
Windows just recognizes it as an MTP USB device and fails to install the drivers
I have another A500 that comes up fine as an A500 on the same PC.
Try disabling the USB debugging in developer options I have the same issue with my Win 7 x64 system

I was using Wug's nexus root toolkit last week, then my laptop got broken and now i have to use my friends' laptop. I don't know why but when i plug my N7 with Developer option ON and USB debugging ON. N7 root toolkit can't find my devices, it said that there is no adb interface driver, i checked "device manager" but there is only "Nexus 7" in portable devices, nothing more, no unregconized drivers. What should i do now, i want to get back to my stock rom and update to 4.1.2 but find it impossible.
i installed the driver from Wug's and reboot already but it didn't works.

Make sure you are logged on as Administrator when the drivers are installed.
I logged in as Admin, install PDA net drivers and Samsung USB driver but it didn't work, my laptop couldn't regconize my device >.<. Can somebody help me please
Not working for me either

Hmm, I've tried everything too. Every suggested driver, every uninstall and reboot, every workaround and fix, and on two different laptops. I suspect that this simply just doesn't work all the time.
Hi, been lurking around here for a good while now....fantastic website website and I've learned so much but now I have an issue.
For what ever reason my nexus 7 will not boot, I can get into fastboot and have been following the guides to do a full factory restore through fastboot. Everything goes fine until is comes to "Sending System" then just.....stops. I have used the nexus toolkit and also the official sdk drivers and fastboot contained there. I only have an old laptop as my main pc for some reason does not recognise the nexus.
I have tried alternative USB cable too.
Does anyone have any other advice.
Also the device is complete stock no custom rom has been installed so no custom recovery available.
I really appreciate any help.
Cheers!
Okay well ive managed to get it back alive!
used a new laptop and usb cable and it all seems to be fine now!
Now back to my original issue...windows 8 is pissing me around and wont recognise the bloody thing!
Any ideas?
Try a search, shouldn't be hard to find what others have done with Windows 8 difficulties...

Go to Device Manager, show hidden devices and uninstall any Android or ADB related devices that you have. Disable USB debugging on your Nexus, then plug it into your PC and see if it's recognized. If it is, then re- enable USB debugging, then go to Device Manager and reinstall the Google USB drivers to get ADB support back.
Thanks for the advice, first thing I did was try searching....I have tried countless methods suggested but nothing works its like windows cant find the drivers. In the device manger its recognised but no diver installs no matter what I do. If I force the manual driver install it fails!? I have tried the Naked drivers, the SDK even making sure the media components of windows are installed properly
Hi .
does anyone know other drivers i can use for the i9505 device?
The drivers installed from keis do not work under Recovery mode from TWRP .
When i connect my device to my windows 8 machine, on device manager it complains that it cannot find the drivers for the phone yet when the device is booted into a working rom of any kind, it detects it?
Thanks in advance
Google, Samsung usb drivers.

tried the above steps and did not work
windows still cant detect my phone.
edit: even on my windows 7 laptop it wont detect it
Did you kill or uninstall Kies? If so, try a different cable.
Might be Windows 8 ( wouldn't be surprised ) try running kies in Win7 or XP mode etc? Have you allowed USB debugging?
i've tried a different cable and even a different computer all together where i installed win7 on that laptop only a week ago so still fresh. im about to try it on my imac .
If this doesnt work then surely the drivers in question are not correct!
will find the mac drivers

Sorry I've read it wrong, didn't realize what TWRP was till I did a bit of research... I suggest emailing TeamWin Projects about it, theirs a few people on their with the same problem, hope you get it sorted.

My problem is basically getting my nexus 7 to connect to the pc... This is what I've done. and what happends...
When I first connected it, I got no message at all, and nothing happened, then I changed the cables around, I changed the USB Pports... and by some mysterious wounder I found a combo of pad, port and cable that made my nexus go your connected as MEdia Device... BUT my computer wont see it.. hmm.. changed it to camera mode, and still nothing. Then I turned off USB Debug. Still nothing, but wen I turned it back on, I got the message that I was connected, and I got to install some drivers, and NExus popped up as a camera in windows 8... Started up the nexus toolkit thingy (I love simplicity) And there it popped up.. rebooted to fastboot, and no luck... windows wont recognize the damn driver. And I have done everything I can think of except install linux and try it there... IT wont connect in Fastboot mode, Not a chance... I've tried to unindatll all the drivers, and their files. everything I can think of... I've followed like 20 diffrendt howto s on the same problem, and no luck...
So how would a guy like me go about doing this in linux... is there a tool made for it? Do I need to do it all by commands? Is there a howto?
In my win8 64bit the nexus 7(2012) does show up as a portable device, but MTP works and there's no issue with sending or pulling files. currently it's running stock kitkat 4.4 (KRT16S).
like you I suspect it's a driver issue with windows. If you could locate the device on device manager (try View\Devices by connection and look under PCI Express Root Complex and comb for USB Host Controller\USB Root Hub\Generic USB Hub), delete the entry for Nexus7 and scan for hardware changes again. This forces the system to look for correct driver(s) for your nexus.
Some guides on updating drivers are in fact concerned with the ADB interface, which is needed for USB debugging. In your case, if it's just accessing the internal storage of your Nexus you want to solve, those info may not be relevant.

Basically I would like to have ¤.¤ installed on my Tablet. Right now I have 4.2.2 SmoothROM installed, and whilst this works for me, I'd like to get the update.
In the past, I used the Toolkit to root and install stuffies... Until the last update to SmoothROM wheres I used GooManager thingy...
When I started this I got the Tablets to connect using PTP whilest in Android, but not in Fastboot mode. So I downloaded the 4.4.kitkat Offisial ROM and tried to install that in recovery, after a full wipe, BUT that ended in me having to install SmoothROM again. And now the Tablet wont connect at all... I have deleted all drives, and reinstalled them... I've tried 3 diffrent Wondows USB driver, but no luck there... I've tried like 5 diffrent USB data cables, in all 4 of my USB ports, on 2 diffrent machines, both win 7 and win 8... AND still no luck... now all the machine says that it cannot identfy the device...
Tomorrow, I will end up installing linux, and try there... At the moment I loathe all things called windows drivers...!!!!
EDIT:
Great news... I found a cable, I havent used in a long time. THis is the original cable that came with the Nexus, and I havent used it in a long time because it had some bad connections. Felt like the plug was loose, but now it made the whole thing work without any problems at all...
So I found the cable, used USBDeView to delete all drivers assossiated with the nexus. plugged it in while in fastboot, and BANG installed. rebooted it, and BANG installed.
So, I cant seem to be able to connect my G2 to the PC via USB cable. I get "usb device not recognized" error, and when looking for the device via LGPC Suite, it says driver not installed and attempts to re-install the driver to no avail. Im using Win 7 64 bit. Here's what Ive done to attempt to fix it:
Tried uninstalling and reinstalling both the driver and LGPC Suite in my normal user account and in admin admin account.
Redownloaded both driver and LGPC Suite and doing the above.
Tried 3 different USB cables.
Tried 2 different USB ports.
Yes, Im changing the connection options on the phone from MTP and LG Software.
Phone charges normally over USB.
I *can* however connect to LGPC Suite via wifi successfully.
Any ideas? Im stumped.

Sorry for bumping old thread, but have you found a solution? I found my self in exactly same situation as you describe.
Phone is in LG Software mode
LG Suite can find the phone over Wi-fi, other modes work through USB.
Tried on two different computers, with win7/win8 respectively.
Stock EU ROM, just bought it.
Tried different USB ports.
Yet PC doesn't recognize it :/
EDIT: Never mind, solved it by following the following instructions in another thread:
cmahendra said:
You must be on 64 bit windows. Not even on 64bit, Still try this...
1) Uninstall LG Drivers, LG PC Suite and anything you see named LG. Restart PC.
2) Install latest LG Driver from this post (step 4)
3) Install Optional MTP Driver from this post (step 4)
4) Open Windows Device Manager (just to watch whats happening.)
5) Disconnect Internet (To avoid stupid online WDM drivers)
6) Connect phone with Usb and let drivers install automatically. Give it some time to install drivers keeping watch on Device Manager window.
7) Keep changing USB connect modes to all modes one-by-one on Phone and let drivers install.
You should see MTP drivers installed now. If this does not help, cant think of anything else. If this works, press THANKS button
EDIT: Connect USB at backside of pc, directly to USB on pc motherboard.
