Hey guys, I have a rooted 1st get nexus 7 that I rooted with WUGs toolkit. Its currently got rasbeanjelly rom and trinity kernel. Well, I want to flash a new ROM on it and the .zips are on my computer but when I connect my nexus 7 to my computer its not showing up.. I have it set as MTP on the device and USB debugging is on. Down in the notifications tray it shows as 'MTP' and is also labeled as 'MTP in devices and printers. It looks like an MP3 player. Why can I not see it on my computer and access it? Im using windows 7 by the way.
Anybody??? It shows up as a camera when I select PTP but when I go back to MTP it still doesn't show up.

I took the OTA to 4.3 on my Nexus 7. It was previously unlocked and rooted, but had no kernels, etc changed. After the update ran, I lost root as expected, however, in trying to get it back, I've discovered I'm having a couple of other issues.
First, the device is no longer working properly via USB on my PCs. On both my Win 7 and Win 8 PCs, the device won't properly connect to where I can browse files or anything else. On the Win 8 computer, I see a Nexus 7 device in Device manager, but drivers won't install. I downloaded the drivers from the Asus site, but trying to manually install them doesn't work on the Win 7 machine, and on the Win 8 machine, they install but don't seem to be working with the Nexus 7 as it still shows a problem in Device Manager.
The tablet also will not boot into recovery mode. I can power it up into fastboot mode, but if I select "Recovery Mode" and hit the power button, I just got the Android with the red triangle for a few minutes before it boots back into the OS. After doing some searching, I saw where you might need to have it plugged into a PC to get it to go into recovery, but that doesn't work, either (might be tied to the USB problem).
Ideas?
Did you turn on developer options, and USB debugging? Have you tried USB connection type PTP instead of MTP?
If you have the stock recovery, the red triangle and Android are normal. You can bring up a blue options menu by pressing the power and volume up buttons from the red triangle Android.

Yes.
Try another driver source. Wugfresh's installation is a lot tougher than Skipsoft's, but try the other guy 's system.

I was using the stock drivers off the Asus page. I'll look around for the two you mention. I assume they're posted on here somewhere.
And about the recovery just try flashing another recovery from fastboot

Without USB access? That's my dilemma.
OK, I'm getting closer. I got TWRP installed and rerooted it. I had to do the "Revoke USB debugging authorizations" on the Dev Options screen. Then it would work via ADB.
Still not browsing files yet on my desktop, but at least I know I'm talking to it. So now I'll play with the driver installation a bit.
EDIT: Well, drivers reinstalled for about the 4th time, and it's still not allowing me to browse files from my desktop. Galaxy S4 works fine as soon as I plug it in, even if I also uninstall it's drivers. Ideas? I obviously have it working over USB because I can give it commands and reboot it via the PC.
OK, try this one. Plug in your tablet to pc, go to hardware manager, find your Android Device then choose Uninstall (choose Remove all drivers for this device), unplug and plug in your tablet again. Your Windows should discover few new devices (mine has discovered three) and download drivers for them then you should see Android ADB Interface in Android Devices and Nexus 7 in Mobile Devices.

After you plug your nexus in have you unlocked the screen to see if it is asking you to authorize the tablet?
What other steps have you taken? Have you installed proper drivers? Have you manually chosen to update drivers with the sdk drivers if in device manager is showing the nexus? Have you tried the drivers from Asus?

I personally did all of those things. After having the Nexus "forget" all the other PC authorizations on the dev screen, I finally got it to accept ADB commands, just not to properly install drivers that would allow me to browse files like it had done on 4.2.

Nexus doesn`t appears in device manager. At all. It starts to charage, but no reaction in device manager, no any reaction(except charging) at nexus. On computer it looks like i didn`t connect anything. I`ve trying to intall drivers as legasy hardware, but nothing changes. Sorry for my english.

Try turning off usb debugging. My tablet cannot connect to pc but with usb debugging off it at least recognises tablet as a media device and this enables me to view its files
.but still the problem of not being able to root
When I plug in my nexus4 to a computer it wont show up...most of the time.
I've used 3 different cables.
4 different computers, running, linux mint, win7 and XP.
I installed clocwork mod recovery today and then it showed up as a new device on a XP copmuter but then it would never show up again.
I'm rooted, running carbon ROM, usually with TWRP recovery but switched today.
I've tried it in MTP and PTP modes, debugging on and off.
it charges just fine from a PC.
any ideas are appreciated.

Have you installed the drivers properly?

For some of the computers. Today I'm at work and I don't have the drivers installed. I keep my phone plugged in to charge. In the past the PC, running windows XP, always pops up the new device found notification. It won't even do that except for the 1 time mentioned earlier.
it it possible for the recovery image to affect things?
Mine won't show up in my PC (windows 8) If USB debugging is off. I'm fairy certain this behavior started at some point during the rooting process because I had a hell of a time getting the files to the phone.

From what I noticed, when you use a lockscreen with some kind of protection the device memory will not show up if it hasnt't been unlocked in the past few minutes or before connected. This is mostly for security reasons to make sure you are the one accesing the device..
I am not sure if this is the source of the problem you are mentioning but just to let you know
That's not it, I'm doing this with it right in front of me, unlocked

Have your nexus connected and disable developer settings and delete your adb driver. Then select mtp mode while connected and you should be able to connect now.

FWIW, I have encountered odd connection issues with my Nexus 4 running bone-stock Android.
As I recall, it won't connect to ADB in MTP mode. In PTP mode, it usually works. Personally, I just said "screw it" and starting using MyPhoneExplorer for everything.
Enable USB debugging in your phone. Nuff said.
nothing works, PTP, debugging on/off, etc.
well I finally got a hold of my wife N4, it connects just fine. so I think it's definitely a hardware issue.
Ifixit shows how to replace the daughter board.....but I'd rather send it to LG for warranty replacement but I have it rooted.
If I could just get it to connect once more I would flash it back to stock.
Evening.
Today I rooted my nexus 7 2012 version, using WUGs toolkit. It manages to unlock, root, install recovery fine. However as soon as it was rooted I can now no longer see the device in 'my computer' when MTP is selected. But if PTP is selected it comes up as the camera icon like it should.
Drivers have been removed and reinstalled. Debugging has been turned on and off. WUG says ADB is fine. But for some reason I just cannot get MTP to work ?
Thanks

Nexus 4 when plugged in with 2 different cables (both capable of transferring MTP as tablet transfers files and connects as MTP just fine) don't do anything and just charge the phone . No "connected as a media device" notification. Checked settings and it's on debugging mode as well as MTP mode but still not being recognised and the same applies for PTP. Phone has been factory reset and still does not get recognised by computer. Device Manager doesn't pick up anything either. No ADB, Nexus 4 name in Device Manager. What's the problem and how can i get it to show up on computer as an MTP device? The phone's not rooted and is Android Version 5.0.1 Lollipop.
Sir,

Had the same issue my USB port on my Nexus 4 was going bad, but it was still charging the phone. I replaced the port and was back in business.

You could try and install ADB drivers . It might help the pc detect.

N4 will not show up as MTP in android
If you want to use MTP, it is supported in TWRP recovery.
Boot into TWRP recovery and you can view and transfer everything in N4 /root via windows explorer on PC.
mine once had MTP work flawlessly until i start to done this and that, now whatever i did only PTP works
boot to TWRP? sadly nothing work ?

If your bootloader is unlocked, you can flash or boot into TWRP recovery, it supports MTP.
If you have any connection problems between PC and TWRP MTP, it is likely driver related.
You will need to look in Device manager on PC while phone is connected.
Download the howto_driver.zip from the "15 seconds ADB Installer thread" and follow the picture tutorial contained in the zip file. This should fix your connectivity issues.
If you are sill having connection issues, You could try and install ADB drivers . It might help the pc detect.
64bit
32bit
Then go back through the picture tutorial in the howto_driver.zip
Best of luck
Nexus 4 Update
Took it to phone technician who replaced battery port on phone. He didn't do a good job on the reassembly of the Nexus 4 when replacing phone battery port and fixed it. Drivers install now.

Glad you got it sorted out :good:
Bought new N6p 64gb
Updated it to latest version by OTA.
Now, i'm trying to connect it to PC (win7 ultimate) and it's not recognized.
Have also Nexus 5 that working great with MTP but the Nexus 6p won't no matter what I tried.
Enabled debugging, tried to install latest Google drivers... Everything.
Still, can't see it in Windows to unlock and root.
Spend two hours to figure out what is wrong. Windows says the mtp is installing but after few seconds gives me an error that it didn't install.
Help me please.

Did you select usb for mtp from the notification?
It's Android's issue!
Enable Developer Options!
& when plug OTG to phone, go to menu "Select USB Configuration" & 1st select Charging & Again select MTP mode!
You really won't believe it. After being frustrated with the N6p and opening this thread, I plugged the phone to pc with usb cable, shut it down and then booted into bootloader. PC recognized the phone as adb. After that I just powered on the phone normally (into the Android os) and waolla, PC recognized it right. Checked twice and both (N5 and N6p) working as supposed to be.
