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.

Weird problem I'm having with Nexus 7 and MTP. So my girlfriend and I both have nexus 7. I recently Flashed my Nexus with AOKP and everything went smooth. Can connect my nexus 7 to my windows 7 ultimate 32 bit OS and it gets picked up and I can easily transfer files to and from. Last night I went to connect my girlfriends nexus 7 to same PC to transfer some movies for her and it would not pickup as MTP device. I switched from MTP to PTP. It gets picked up as PTP but I can't transfer movies to it, just pictures. So i changed it back to MTP and nada. In MTP mode the nexus gets picked up i see it in device manager as ADB device, nexus is charging while plugged in but does not show up in windows explorer. So i disconnected plugged in my nexus 7 and comes up just fine as MTP device. Switched back to hers and still nothing. So i thought it was her nexus. I decided to connect it to my mac and download the android file transfer app. That worked fine and I was able to transfer movies to it. connected it back to the windows machine and still nothing. I want to do a factory wipe on it and flash it but i really want to resolve this problem. I thought about just doing a factory reset to see if that fixes it but there has to be something else i can do. Also the only was I can get nexus root tool kit to pick it up to root and flash is to have it in PTP mode. any ideas? any help is greatly appreciated, thanks for listening!
Having a hard time thinking its a driver issue since my nexus gets picked up fine. wanted to add that I rebooted the pc and nexus with same result.
Try going to device manager and uninstall the drivers from your Nexus. Then unplug and replug it again and let it install its drivers again.

Try using USB Deview and delete all drivers pertaining to android. Then download the google usb drivers for Nexus 7 and see if it fixes the problem.
Try an app on the market called "stickmount" it should do the trick.

Another thing i just remembered it could be the cable your using. Speacialy if your nexus 7 are different i mean like one is 3g the other is wifi or one is 16 gb the other is 32 gb' so i would suggest using her original cable on her nexus 7 and same thing to you. About stickymount i dont think thats gonna work, kinda was thinking something else.

think i just made it worse used usb deview and now I can't get my nexus to show up as MTP device. Both nexus are 32gb wifi only. I used usb deview to uninstall all android and nexus 7 drivers...there were quite a few...downloaded nexus 7 drivers from asus site...when i plugged the nexus in windows installed its own driver, i tried to update the driver with driver from asus but windows indicated that the latest driver was already installed...I think i'll try installing the drivers from the root tool kit and see what happens ...ugh

something is different between the 2 nexus, which doesn't make sense. They're both 32gb/wifi. So I used usb deview to uninstall all drivers. Then useed Nexus root tool kit to install drivers (somewhat) only went through frist 3 steps or so and windows installed ADB and Nexus 7 MTP driver and I was able to see my girl friends Nexus now as MTP device and transfer files to and from...just to play safe i used the USB cable that came with hers. I then connected my nexus which originally worked fine (but then i jacked up the drivers and they both wouldn't connect) and now does not get picked up as Nexus MTP, rather only ADB device shows up for it. So it looks like windows only likes one of them? Very strange, I'll keep playing with it but doubt I will be able to get them both to be picked up by windows as MTP....gotta love windows

so the only thing i notcied is when her nexus is connected if you go to control panel then devices and printers hers is now seen as Nexus Portabl Media player (MTP) and when mine is connected it comes up as Nexus 7 Unspecified and only driver i can install or updated is ADB..where with her device it is seen as ADB in device manager and also comes up as portable device nexus 7. Now i know if i use usb deview and uninstall all drivers then install mine first mine would probably be fine and then hers would prob not work
I have the exact problem ... but under win8. I have two Nexus 7s which I didnot have any (connecting issue) on my previous win7/64.
After upgraded to win8, windows only mounst one and refuses to mount the other. I can remove all devices relating to the Nexus7 then win8 will
mount the next N7 then refuses the other (the nexus7 is recorgnized but not mounted). Seems like it indexes the first Nexus then afraid to mount
the other as it sees a difference.
No solution so far, except everytime I want to work with the other Nexus, I have to remove&re-install the driver.
It has no issue when I connect other Android devices (AsusTF101, Nook Color, Samsung 4 Player).. Just refusing the identical twin.

Yup, it appears that USB Debugging suffers some sort of identity crisis after a root or OTA to 4.3 - toggled debugging off & the MTP mount worked as advertised.
Had to revoke all debug authorizations and re-init for USB debugging and MTP to function together.
SIGH!
Cheers

I started experiencing this issue right after the OTA to 4.3 update on both my wife and I's rooted Nexus 7 Tablets, both first gen and current. The issue was resolved by removing the drivers from my computer and before reinstalling them revoking all ADB/USB debugging authorizations. I'll post the the steps I took.
1. Followed the Wug Fresh steps for removing Android related drivers (I have owned a lot of Android devices so I cleared the slate of everything)
2. Turned off debugging on both tablets with MTP on
3. Revoked USB debug authorizations on both devices
4. Connected the first gen N7, let drivers install
5. Turned on USB debugging while still connected
6. Repeat 4 & 5 for second gen
7. Both tablets connect with no issues and I have adb access to them
I suggest you have a look here.
this worked perfectly for me.
Hello,
several days ago, I installed Windows 8 64bit on my laptop. The problem is, that Windows does not recognize that Android device was connected. If I connect Nexus 7 (or HTC Vision Z, which I have too), nothing happens. Both devices have developer mode on. Neither of them recognizes that they are connected to PC (they don't offer me the connection mode mtp/ptp or mass storage).
Windows update is done, there are no new updates.
I've tried installing PDAnet_Drivers_64bit.exe, without luck. Yes, I've tried RAW drivers from WugFresh, but I can't install drivers for device, that is not present in Windows Device Manager (or can I? How?).
Laptop is Dell Latitude E6410.
Nexus 7 is running stock Android (4.2.2).
HTC Vision Z is running CyanogenMod 7.2 (I'm mentioning it just for complete picture of mine situation, I need to get Nexus working).
Thank you for your time, attention and hopefully help.
I am running x64 Win8 at home, and I just went to Asus's site to install their N7 USB drivers, right-clicked on the .exe file and selected "Run as Administrator", and they installed fine.
I do not run adb/fastboot/Android SDK on my Win8 machine, I do all that work with my Win7 laptop.
Thank you, I will try it when I get to PC again.
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.

Hey there,
I found a solution for the MTP-Driver issue under Windows 7 N Edition.
A few days ago I bought a new SSD Drive for my Desktop.
So i decided to install a fully new Windows on it, cause my windows 7 x64 was about 4 years in use now and doesnt worked reliable.
I decided to give Windows 7 N Version a try, cause it comes without some futures i thought i would not need.
ATM I use this KF First Aide with my KFHD 7
Installation of the ADB Driver worked without a problem, but i still got the yellow triangle on MTP Driver.
Tried then to install the driver manually using windows update. it didnt find a driver for MTP.
Tried to install the MTP device manualy selecting MTP Device in the "all devices" list (Standard MTP Device).
But this didnt work either.
After hours of searching i found a thread that led me to this :
As promised by Microsoft the N Version comes WITHOUT the Windows Media Player.
But as it seams the Windows Media Player contains the MTP Driver.
For god sake microsoft provides a pack to install it manually Media Feature Pack für Windows 7 N
This works of course only with original Windows as u have to pass a Genuine Verification to download it.
After installing the pack. The windows update found 2 other updates. i got them too and restarted my system. Now the triangle is gone. And my KFHD is recognised as Portable Device and everything works fine.
Dunno weather it will work with other Windows 7 Versions.

This is just ridiculous..
I have Windows 8.1 N Pro installed and can't use either, because it is missing the MTP driver. The fact that i have to install the Media Feature Pack to use a fundamental feature of my PC is just F***** UP! It is just Microsoft's way of giving the finger to the EU, and it makes the N-version completely useless.
But i refuse to install Windows Media Player and all that other crap just to use my Nexus 5 with my new laptop. If i have to write to the EU to try and make them force Microsoft to make the driver available as a standalone install, i will. This is just principally wrong of Microsoft, but really not surprising.
If people would just boycot Microsoft they might learn. But that will never happen, unfortunately..
