[Q] Nexus 7, why in Vista and not in Win7

I have an issue with one of my Windows OS (both 64 bit).
Under Vista Home Premium N7 does not show a problem.
In Device Manager which shows "Android phone" N7 is shown in MTP and Camera.
In ADB as well in Fastboot N7 is recognized under MTP and Camera.
Under Win 7 Professional I have an issue.
In Device Manager which shows "Android composite ADB interface" under Samsung Android phone, the Laptop does not see the N7 under MTP.
When I switch to Camera the computer recognizes N7.
In Fastboot mode as well in ADB N7 appears in Camera.
In MTP mode ADB devices does not show N7 while in Fastboot the N7 appears.
Debugging or not does not change anything.
In short the N7 in Win 7 is not recognized under MTP and it is showing under Camera.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
PS: I favor a manual solution over the use of a ToolKit.

You may be using a N or KN version of Windows 7. N versions of Windows do not contain Media Player or Media Foundation, the latter being required for MTP features.
Media Feature Pack for Windows 7 N with Service Pack 1 and Windows 7 KN with Service Pack 1 may help you out.
If your not using a N version of Windows 7, then there may be another issue.

My version of Win7 is 6.1 with SP1.
Media Player version is 12.
Is it good or bad for my issue?
Thanks for your prompt Post

Hmm, if you have WMP installed, MTP should work, or at least I can't think of a reason for it not to work :/

I solved my problem.
I connected my N7 to my wife Win7 laptop. It was recognized as a portable device, in MTP mode. With a yellow !where the Android ADB is supposed to be.
The event viewer in the Device Manager of my laptop registered several errors including the Android ADB interface.
A restore point before the date of the installation of this interface solved the issue.
N7 is recognized in MTP and in Camera modes.
Et voila

[Q] New Nexus 7 usb google driver problem

I'm having trouble getting the proper usb drivers loaded so i can root my new Nexus 7. I downloaded the Android SDK, unzipped and expanded the google drivers, but my Vista computer keeps giving me an error like "windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it". It shows the driver as Android Composite ADB Interface. Please help!!

You need to disable your computer's driver signature enforcement.

1)by the way - delete your device from Laptop`s device manager and unplug and plug again cable to you Nexus
2)download last version of ADB and Fastboot
3)check at storage menu - preference - camera (not mtp)
4)enter in developer item in settings menu and check USB debug - Android `ll show your alert message with mac adress of you Laptop - you must accept it
!!! Do not try to use some other sofware for rooting (this is bad idea)- you must doing it in fastboot by myself!!!

[Q] Weird driver problem

I have a weird problem getting fastboot to work on my Nexus 10.
Whenever I connect my Nexus 10 in fastboot mode to my pc it installs two drivers: Samsung Mobile USB Modem and SAMSUNG Mobile USB CDC Composite Device.
When I try to update the driver it won't allow me to pick a driver from Google and it does not work if I use the metod with a driver file and assigning the location.
I already tried a toolkit for installing the drivers but that did not work either..

Hello mrgnex,

Win 10 x64 - Motorola Device Manager failed to install the correct USB driver

So i finally got around to setting up my laptop anew, and i ran into a little snag. I've installed the Motorola device manager 2.5.4.
My XT1562 is not correctly installed as such when connected... (yes, in PTP mode, adb enabled too)
The phone knows it is connected by USB and charges, it works fine on other PCs
Reinstalled Device Manager, nope
Trying different USB port didn't help
Tried different USB cable for the heck of it
Device Manager shows Android Device "Motorola ADB interface" and one unknown "MTP".
Device shows:
The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)
There are no compatible drivers for this device.
Using the auto update for drivers doesn't work. Manually Specifying the folder for the Motorola Device Manager doesn't work, i checked, there are no drivers lying around in there...
To manually specify the driver i would have to know exactly which device that thing is supposed to be. Hm actually let me check that on the other PC brb
EDIT:
Well, ive never even installed the motorola device manager on the pc (win7 x64) and it just works. Does have the ADB device as unknown in Device Manager.

If you are using Windows 10 or win 8.1 follow this guide to disable driver signature enforcement

For abd drivers

Then reinstall Moto device manager

I've had them installed with signatures before (It was Win10 x64 before too) no problem. Did they mess that up? Thanks ill try it
EDIT
Didn't work. Rebooted with sigs off, reinstalled 2.5.4, no difference
EDIT2: There was no driver signature warning either

Riiight, after some tinkering (including a driver backup from w7 and restore to w10 solution) i figured out the actual problem. I've installed Windows 10 N, and the optional media pack is required for these drivers to work. Go figure.
