macOS: Android File Tranfer not working - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
I've a big problème with my new LG G2 international phone (french actually). I'm a new android user... I searched the forum before posting this and figured out that Android is not allowing USB Masse Storage Mode anymore... That we have to chose between MTP and PTP mode... Unfortunately, I'm a running Mac OS Mavericks that not support MTP mode natively.
I've installed the Android File Tranfer for Mac but it's not working. In MTP mode, the phone is detected by AFT but I'm getting the message "Could not find the selected storage." In MTP mode the phone is detected as a camera by the operating system but not by the AFT...
Do you know guys how can I fix this? It's really annoying... For the moment I'm using Airdroid to send file by WiFi but its realyl slow
My phone is rooted and developer mode is ON.
Cheers

I have this problem either.

I've found a solution since the usb drivers and PCsuite for MAC are available from LG. You have to download the USB drivers and PCsuite from LG web site, install them into you MAC and Android File Tranfer should work correctly It's works for me.

[Q] USB Massive storage driver

Hello
I just got this phone
I thought that just by pluging it to my pc (windows 7) and selecting usb massive storage it would work, but it doesn't
Do I need a specific driver installed on window? If so.. Where do I find it?
I tried installing Kies, but that didn't help
Thank you in advance
Drivers are here
Brother you can download the drivers for windows from here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7238660&postcount=1
You have to mount SDCard in Notification area.
Mass Storage mode does not need special drivers.
Trying to install the drivers from the previous reply throws an error (I have windows 7 64 bits)
And.. activating usb from the notification area actually works for usb mass storage mode
Thank you!
Download and install the latest kies version from samsung site or just update the one in your PC online. If it still does not work, use the driver recovery option in kies.
Thanks a lot to everyone
I feel like a newbie here..
Even when the Kies installation throws an error, it detected my phone after several minutes.
How is this application useful? I can do most of the things (like transfer files) without it.
And even on the development forum they don't use it for upgrading!

[Q] Mass storage mode not working (Win 7)

Hello guys,
I just got my n10 and I love it I have one problem though. I have installed sdk and Google drivers, but still, the n10 doesn't show up in my computer, when plugging it in the computer. I've had no problems with my Nexus SIII or previous Android phones, so i'm kind a clueless on what could be wrong. I've enabled usb debugging also.
When changing the mode to camera mode on the n10, it works - an icon appears and i can transfer files.. Thats pretty odd, huh?
Any ideas? I would be grateful
The N10 does not do mass storage mode. It will only show up as a media device.

That was what I meant.. My bad But it doesn't show up as a media device
Uninstall the Android ADB driver (uninstall driver software too when it asks), and then hotplug the N10 from the computer, and MTP should work. You can then reinstall the ADB driver and MTP should still work.
At least on my machine, I have to reinstall the ADB driver if MTP doesn't just want to work.

I was having the same problem.
Have you tried to put phone on dev mode?
I reinstalled windows and it works for me
Try it too:
Go to device manager in windows, search for your device with exclamation>Right Click> Update Drivers> Search for drivers in my computer, change to MTP Mass Storage or something like that(2nd option)

Same problem here.. LG doesnt take care of such things.. no wonder Samsung is taking the market..
I just connected my AT&T v20 to my aliensware 15r2 laptop and was able to import my pics with no issues setting my phone to ptp. Then to access both the internal storage and sd card through file manager I set phone to mtp.
I did nothing special just plugged in phone to laptop and selected what setting on the phone. Oh and running win 10. So don't think its the phones software but maybe your computer missing certain drivers or something. So hope this helps

I had a problem on my Win 7 laptop. It connected, loaded drivers and opened as a removable drive. However, as I continued using the ?, my mouse started to register my clicks as drags and did so until I unplugged the ? .
Tappin' and talkin' with Tapatalk.
hmm. i still haven't been able to get it to work. might try using the LG PC suite pc app to connect over wifi
Anyone have issues after applying liquid spray for a screen protector? I just finished applying and now whenever I connect the phone LG V20 it still thinks its connected to usb. I restarted phone and it went into update firmware connection screen. I had to get into recovery and clear dalvik and cache and it rebooted and everything is working again. I transferred files from PC and again the same issue. Could it be liquid damage? Or is this something else? Thank you.
You'll need to turn on the Developer Option and then scroll down to Select USB Configuration > MTP > ok This is what I did to enable my desktop to read my LG V20 SD Card and memory.
Could it be a cable issue? I was warned once.
In fact, looks like nothing happens on my pc but I can browse the internal memory n sd card.
"Have you tried turning it off and on again?" - it crowd
Seriously That was the solution for me... (Oh, I miss that show so much )
i have connection problems myself but i was forced to do a hard reset after my touch screen failed and ehen ever i try to connect to pc i get device malfunctioned message and cant connect to pc and theres no was of changing to mtp or anything if i cant get intot he phone as far as i know if you have any ideas on pls let me know
