MTP Problem , Searched everywhere - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well I started having this wierd problem.
When i connect my nexus 4, in mtp mode, i dont get the yellow device logo at the device manager window.
All i get is adb installed.
as a result i cant transfer files from my pc...
Although i could install a custom rom via a toolkit, i cannot transfer files...
any help would be appreciated
thanx

You are in USB Debugging mode, which require a different driver than with it disable. You can try uninstalling the driver (check the box to also delete the driver file), then reinstall it using Universal Naked Driver (link below), or Google USB driver.
If that don't work, try disabling USB debugging.

USB not working on Windows 7

Last night I finally decided to use Wugs Nexus Root Toolkit to unlock the bootloader, root the device, flash CWM recovery and installed SlimBean ROM. It was somewhat of a pain to get adb to work at first, it had me uninstall drivers off my PC. Now when connecting my tablet to my PC, PC is not letting me view the internal SD card, nothing comes up. I've tried connecting it to another Windows 7 PC, same issue. Wondering if its something with the ROM, anyone else had this problem? What's the solution.
Uninstall USB ADB Driver
I had the same problem. What ended up working was re-connecting the tablets via USB to my Windows 7 machine. Open up Device Manager and find Nexus 7, right-click on it and select Uninstall (this removes the ADB drivers that were used to root, etc). Then disconnect the USB cable and reconnect it. Then it should automatically reinstall the USB drivers for MTP access. Hope that helps.
That's actually what I had to do to get Root Toolbox to work....or so it said.. I'm surprised though, if I hook it up to another PC why that PC wouldn't automatically try to install the driver.. If I have it with USB debugging off, it doesn't show in the display manager, if I enable USB debugging it does. Tried uninstall, disconnect, reconnect USB cable, same issue.
Check your USB Connection settings for MTP yet?
Thank you. Didn't know where that was at first. Went to settings:storage:menu icon:USB connection settings: checked MTP. now my PC is detecting the N7.

[Q] CM10.2, SD card won't show in windows, however camera will?

Nexus 4 with CM 10.2
With usb debugging turned off my nexus 4 will not show up in my computer (windows 8) at all, if I enabled USB debugging and select enumerate as camera (PTP) it will show up in my computer however I can only access the DCIM director, if I select media device (MTP) it will not show up at all, If I disable usb debugging and select either MTP or PTP I also get nothing.
I've tried reinstalling the drivers for windows but no luck, it used to work and then I installed CM and now it is broken, ideas?
desinstall and delete all adb/nexus/fastboot related drivers. then restart and reconnect nexus and wait till windows install the driver.
if u want adb and sd u need to install universal naked driver.

[Q] ADB drivers not working

Hello. Im new to the Nexus 10. I downloaded skipsoft Android toolkit, installed adb drivers in the package and rooted the Nexus and installed recovery..it was easy using the toolkit. So the ADB drivers must have worked- at least in the environment it is used in to do these things. But these drivers dont work to transfer files between the nexus and the computer running winxp. I have USB debugging and PTP, have tried every other dirver package that has been mentioned on all available forums, have tried different usb ports, different cables etc. n my computer the device is recognised as a Nexus 10 but clicking on it gives a blank page, so cannot see the Nexux files. WTF this is driving me mad. Any ideas?
Re
Hi Ghosta,
Are you using a USB 3 port? as i have had many strange issues with these the ports. The issue is caused by one of the intel drivers cant remember exactly which way but there is no easy way to fix this. If this is your issues i would try and find if you have a USB 2.1 port you can use or the Esata ports on laptops tend to be usb 2.1 inside...even though they dont look like it haha
Hope this helps

What does Device Manager show? Device name, its Properties and exclamation mark?
You do know that if your device has a "password" then you must be logged in to see its contents.

Thanks for the replies and suggestions. All shows up OK in device manager, the device is not password protected, and the laptop has usb2 ports. I had another try today, after connecting the nexus it shows up in my computer as a camera, labelled nexus 10, with the camera icon. When I click on the icon it opens a special folder, must be a camera folder and the camera and scanner wizard starts. After a while it detects the photos on the nexus ( I have loaded a lot on it via USB otg using flash drive ), but thumbnails of the photos are not downloaded as I usually see when I connect a camera. The wizard downloads photos back to the computer, but each photo is about 18 kB instead of the 2 mb they originally were. So it appears a connection is happening, but a very strange one. I don't like to be beaten on problems like this one, but searching the net has not given me any answers, and I don't understand the android system well enough to know what to try next.
I think your device is working. If you connect it up as it now is and then go into Settings > Storage and tap the top RH corner menu you get the USB Computer Connection and select that and change it to MTP you should find it is now visible in My Computer or after auto install of the driver it will be visible. I'm brain dead - you said you had a PTP connection!

No PTP conection or MTP connection either. The Nexus also shows up in Device Manger under Imaging Devices when USB deugging is on, which is causing the camera and scanner wizard to start, although it doesnt work properly. When i disable it nothing happens at all. No idea where to go from here.
There is or was an issue with XP see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2305943

Thanks for the suggestion, I had already tried that but I did it again just to make sure. It did not work for me.
Have you tried following the driver install guide from Wug's toolkit? I've never used Skipsoft's but if it doesn't have you delete old drivers properly it's possible there's some old or corrupted driver sticking around from all the installs you've done. If you follow Wug's guide exactly you should end up with the only the correct drivers installed. Also, what ROM and kernel are you using? It's possible the issue is there.

I used a program called usbdeview to uninstall every USB driver with an "android" or "adb" description which should have cleaned up my drivers? Then after reinstalling drivers I tried again no difference. I ran android-tools and can push and pull files to and from the computer and nexus, (from command line) so I believe I have eliminated hardware problems and software problems on the nexus. This leaves the computer, which works perfectly with my other android devices running 4.1.1.
Just in case this helps. In usbdeview I have 5 nexus 10 entries. They all have the vendor id of Google 18d1 and a unique Product ID . Which driver connects is related to the device settings:
PID Device settings
4ee1 MTP
4ee2 MTP + USB debugging
4ee5 PTP
4ee6 PTP + USB debugging
d002 USB debugging
With the device connected I can change settings and see the change in connected driver in USBDeview.

This info does provide me with some way forward. With USB , when connected ptp I have a nexus 10 USB composite device and a nexus 10 digital still camera connected with the green light in USB deview, and also a blank device name, connected, description android composite device with a purple light. I'm guessing purple means not working. But changing drivers does nothing to change the purple light. Switching to mpt gives an additional blank name Google nexus adb interface also with purple light shown as connected. All connected devices show vendor 18d1. Drivers tried 1) clockworkmod (supplied with skipsoft); 2) naked drivers 3) Google drivers. Any clues what to try next?
2 things to check. I just tried running usbdeview from Wug's toolkit. It was v2.0 and wasn't the same as the version I have installed v2.3 - and there have been a significant number of changes. If you have XP pro x64 then you must use the x64 version of usbdeview - again I think Wug's may only ship with 32 bit usbdeview http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html You will also find an explanation of the coloured radio buttons.
If you find you need to update usbdeview then I would suggest you uninstall the device drivers (instructions in Wug's toolkit?) then new drivers from http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html#top and follow the linked install instructions.

I gave up completely on this, and connect via wifi using ES file explorer. I bought my wife a new tablet an Acer Aconia A1-830 and it has the same problems, impossible to connect via ADB, with exactly the same symptoms. Yet our phones connect via ADB without a problem, but both are Androild 4.1 or earlier and the tablets 4.2 or younger. Obviously an Android generated problem that arose when 4.2 was released and on which has no fix.

Help! Can't Get ADB to Recognize Note 7

I cannot get ADB to recognize my Note 7. I've installed the ADB & FastBoot 15-second install from the XDA forum, but when I plug my N7 into the PC it only recognizes it as a USB drive.
Dev options enabled,
USB Debugging enabled
USB configuration (MTP mode)
The only entries under Other in Device Manager are CDC and MTP, no Android Device. The phone is also listed under Portable Devices. No USB mode brings up "Android" in the list of devices under Other.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Do you have proper Samsung usb drivers installed? Check your device manager, just asking sometimes phones can be finicky when trying to get the PC to recognize devices.
Thanks carelockh! That did the trick. I looked in Device Manager and found that only the Windows USB device driver was installed. I downloaded and installed the Samsung driver and was able to connect over ADB.
No problem, anytime glad I could help.

USB driver update failed

Hi
I am a new user for nexus 6p, For the first time I connected my device to Computer running windows 10 updated. My laptop didn't detect the usb and the driver is not installed properly, I tried downloading the latest usb driver but it didnt help , While searching for the driver folder it throws
Windows was unable to install your unkown drive
You can get the USB drivers straight from Google and try to uninstall/reinstall or download Wugfresh's NRT. There is very good driver installation tool and test to confirm you get both USB and fastboot drivers installed properly. Just follow the "Full Driver Installation Guide"

Hi... Do you have ADB enabled in developer options? If you don't have developer options enabled, go in: settings>about phone and type 7 times on the build number, then go back in settings > developer options and enable "android debugging".
Plug your N6 on your computer, check your phone screen and allow press ok when it asks to "allow USB debugging".
Does it change something? Is your N6 recognized in device manager? Does the driver updates?
...
So My puter recognizes my phone fine....
Pop opened the configuration and General tab says:
This device is not configured correctly. (Code 1)
A service installation section in this INF is invalid.
To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver.
I try and update the driver using the "Let the puter search" feature and it finds one and tells me:
Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device.
Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.
MPE Device
A service installation section in this INF is invalid.
If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit its website and check the support section for driver software.
This is all AFTER I downloaded the latest Google USB drivers and unzipped them.
Phone is set to MTP mode and debugging mode is unlocked and usb debugging is on.
No Go.
