I'm trying to run my app while debugging on my Nexus 7, but it always loads in the AVDs instead of on the tablet.
Here's my checklist of things I've done:
Went into the settings on the Nexus 7 and enabled USB Debugging.
Installed the official ASUS Nexus 7 drivers. When I connect it to my PC, Windows 7 64 bit pops up and says the Nexus 7 is connected and the drivers loaded successfully.
Connected it to my PC (Windows 7 64 bit) and it pops up and saying the Nexus 7 is connected and the drivers loaded successfully.
However Eclipse doesn't detect it at all. The app loads the AVD instead of it. And if I go to Run As->Run Configurations->Target, it's not listed. If I select Launch on all Compatible Devices/AVDs and choose Active Devices and then try to run, I get the error "No active compatible AVD's or devices found. Relaunch this configuration after connecting a device or starting an AVD".
The app is set to be compatible with Android 4.1.
Suggestions?
The only way I've ever gotten it to work is switching the 7 from a media device to a camera.

Strange. Unfortunately it still doesn't work for me. Same symptoms. Thanks though! Any other ideas?
I found I had to fiddle with the drivers a bit to get the proper adb connection. Check Device Manager and make sure it shows up under Android Phone->Android ADB Interface. If you see anything else you'll need to uninstall the offending driver and reinstall.

Ehhh...Crap. You're right. Device Manager shows Other Devices -> Nexus with a caution sign on it. Weird cause when I plug it in it'll ask me if I want to transfer photos and it'll mount it as a drive and everything....grrrrrr. This might be annoying.
I'm trying to remember exactly what I did to get the right driver to install. I think you need to uninstall the all drivers being used and then make sure that USB debugging is turned on in the Nexus before plugging it back in. I used the Wugfresh toolkit which includes tools to check what drivers are lurking around in your system.
Finally got it. Turned out, the driver files were no good. I got them from a link to Asus's site from another thread. I googled their site for different driver files and found the correct ones:
http://www.asus.com/Tablet/Nexus/Nexus_7/#download
It should be a zip file with USB in the title.
Thanks for the help!

I can confirm this, I switched it from MTP to PTP and installed the driver, and everything is working now. It's showing up in the ADB list.

Download the asus drivers and extract the zip file. Plug in your Nexus 7. Go to Device Manager -> the device (might be listed as an android device) -> Update driver. Browse to the extracted folder.
On the Nexus 7, make sure USB debugging is enabled. And, when it connects, change it from being connected as a media device to instead being a camera device.
Thanks. I ended up being able to do it with the one click root program it helped me get the drivers super happy. Now my galaxy nexus and nexus 7 are rooted. Haven't had something rooted since my Samsung galaxy s fascinate

Been at this fir 3 days. Installed, uninstalled drivers. Got ASUS drivers. Switched from Debugging on to off, then off to on. used Camera, used Media....The closest I come to seeing Nexus7 in Explorer or Computer is INTERNAL STORAGE/DCIM OR CAMERA.
I am unable to see any files, no matter what I do. So, now I must ask this: Must I be rooted to see android files? I doubt it, but I never used a Nexus before. Quite frankly, this tablet is awful for use with a PC. I need help-can u help me, pls.

Can I ask for your help guys? My Nexus 7 v1 is stuck on boot loop (either stuck on google screen or sometimes would proceed up to the nexus animation screen) and I've been trying to fix it with the Nexus Root Toolkit (NRT). I just have problem proceeding with the steps since the toolkit advices me to enable my device's USB DEBUGGING (open device , go to settings, then developer options etc) which I CANNOT POSSIBLY DO COS AGAIN, NEXUS IS JUST STUCKED ON BOOT LOOP.
Can you suggest OTHER ways I can enable USB Debugging in Nexus 7? I would greatly appreciate your help.
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!
edit: sorry I feel like I have an ipad (grrrr)...never had problems with other android devices

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.

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.

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.

Hello There !
I'm using a Windows 10 Pro N version 1909 and I'm having a lot of problems with andoid devices since I'm not able to use any of them connected to my laptop. For a Nokia 8 there is an issue with MTP drivers, Xiaomi 8 pro is seen as a device but still issues with drivers, with a nexus 4 on which I installed noughat it doesn't show up at all(which is pretty wierd since I used the same laptop to root it and install the new version of android). Any suggestion to fix the issue?
I need to use them for my app development on android studio, any help would be really helpful.
Thanks for your help

Go to device manager and if it shows as anything other than your phone, right click and "uninstall device".........then reboot pc and plug phone back in. Usually works if you have already made sure you have the correct drivers installed.
The fix is really simple: just download and install the media feature pack. IT contains all codec and the most important, the MTP driver. You won't find it separately except in this pack.
