[Q] CM10.2, SD card won't show in windows, however camera will? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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] Nexus 7 32GB doesn't appear in windows as MTP?

I just turned my nexus 7 32GB on and connected it to the same cable as the 16GB I just returned. It doesn't show up on my computer at all in MTP mode. Only in PTP mode. Any ideas on what to try?
*EDIT*
USB debugging is not on. Tried to install the asus drivers and got an error about there not being a driver for 64-bit in them, despite seeing the x64 drivers in the package.
Also, as MTP, my nexus 7 shows up as VID_18D1&PID_4E41&REV_9999
Again, that's with USB debugging disabled, it shows up only as an ADB device.
*RESOLUTION*
I uninstalled the ADB driver while it was plugged in with MTP mode. I unplugged it and replugged it and now it works fine.
is usb debugging on?
i got drivers from asus site.
deleted all references to N7 and rebooted windows.
un checked debugging on N7.
went to storage and checked mtp.
connected to windows.
when windows wants to install new MTP device, pointed it to the usb_driver folder..
windows installed MTP device..
this all happened to me today.. i am brand new for this device and the N7 board.
i spose this is fine for me but i would still like to see MyComputer show as USB mass storage..
i feel like the MTP doesnt show everything , limiting my access / control..
i would like to know how to do this,
thanx

you didn't uninstall all references to adb first. even if you have to go back to a restore point. then start over for Windows to install as mtp

[Q] Nexus 4 usb file transfer

Hi,
This is my first Nexus device (N4), I know they have an emulated SD card, so I expected to connect it to my Win 7 PC via USB, and for the SD card directory to be shown as a file system / drive in Windows. This doesn't happen.
Phone is in MTP mode, screen isn't locked. Am I missing something here, a driver perhaps, or does this functionality no longer exist?
Thanks,
Des
You should get a Nexus 4 device along with your drives, you open that, then go to 'internal storage'
If you're not getting that, then it's probably driver related.
If it doesn't detect by USB at all, you may have a faulty device like me.
If you plug your phone into the wall with the AC adapter, does it constantly say " charging (USB)" in the battery settings?
This defect means I cannot root or charge the phone properly... It sucks..

Most likely a driver issue. When I have use the adb driver I cannot see my device as a storage device. Switching to the default driver Windows installs lets me see it but adb no longer works.
I ended up just using AirDroid to do any file transfers.
There are a few reports of the stock charger being reported as USB charging actually, so it might not be all bad.
The phone might be in MTP mode, but has it installed the MTP driver ? Check Device Manager.
On my own XP system, MTP wouldn't work for me until I turned off USB debugging.

^ This.
On XP, MTP does not work if USB Debugging is turned on. It may be the same for Windows 7 as well.
Same behavior on Windows 7, just fixed my issues. Thanks!
I got similar problem with my N4, yesterday I flashed Mahdi-ROM 2.4[1/02] then my USB stopped working. I can view files through PC, but cannot upload to phone. It says device has been disconnected, but it's still connected Turning off USB debuging didn't help.
I cannot even flash kernel uploaded through Airdroid, recovery gives error - cannot open zip file.
Edit: Nevermind, its PC problem. With other PC it works normal.
use universal naked drivers.
fastboot adb and mtp and ptp working.

After I rooted my N4 a few months ago same thing, cannot get MTP on WinXP
Works fine on my Win7 machines though, its pretty annoying
Tried ALL the fixes I could find, no go
Uninstal all drivers, reconnect N4 let Windows install drivers, it will probably be adb device drivers, then select in device manager adb device drivers update drivers and check install from specific location and on next screen check don't search!
Then you could be able to select mtp. All of this should be done with USB debugging turned off and USB connection as mtp!

Can't acces nexus 4 storage on PC

I have a strange problem, when connecting my new nexus 4 to a pc it is not showing up if mtp is selected. If I change mtp to ptp then it shows up as nexus 4 > internal storage > DCIM and pictures folders. When i change to mtp it is gone. Any solution guys? I have usb drivers installed and usb debugging enabled.
Edit : problem solved, it was my windows 8 problem, mods can you delete this thread pls. Thank you.
what was the fix?
Check your drivers in device manager in Windows. Somehow on my pc proper driver was only active in ptp mode, in mtp system tried to use some other Microsoft driver. Connect in mtp go to device manager and update the driver with the proper one.

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.

Windows doesn't display internal storage of my nexus 4

Hi,
I can't get Windows 8 to detect internal storage of my Nexus 4. I have tried to remove all the drivers in association with the N4 so that there is no problems but it's just not happening. I have managed to root the phone! It seems to install Android ADB interface every time I connect the phone but I can't get access to my internal storage.
Please help. Where am I going wrong?
Kind Regards
Unlock your phone first than connect it to your pc.
plug your phone into a pc and open device manager. find android phone(or device) and right click>Update Driver Software>Browse my computer for driver software>Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer>portable devices>Standard MTP Device > MTP USB Device click yes and install driver.And open your usb debugging.It helps.
