OK:
Here's my delima, I recently formatted my sd card to Internal storage.
Seems after that, I can't access my phone via PC, doesn't see it???
Tried all the normal stuff, changing USB to MTP and/or Pic.
Downloaded a bunch of Moto drivers etc. but still my Win 10 pc
doesn't see the phone. Any ideas?????
All stock setup running Marsh 6.0
Also, Helium backup use to work, not it doesn't connect either.

I posted this question elsewhere in this forum:
"Since Marshmallow, when I connect my Moto to Windows, even though I have Developer Options on MTP, it comes up as a Portable Media Player and I can't see any file structure. I have to go into to Developer Options, then click PTP, then click MTP to see Internal Files (no SD card). Anybody have any idea why? Windows 10 or Android 6 issue?" (I do have an SD card but it is formatted as internal memory and I use AppMgrIII to move apps to the SD card)
This was the answer I got.
Android 6 "issue"...which is actually an enhancement per them !
Can't you just use the pull down menus to enable mtp when you plug it in?
The card didn't fully format. Format it again, the card will disappear in the Storage setting screen. Wait for it to come back. Once it does, try again.

Yeah,
That doesn't work! I get a MTP Device Error in Device Manager in Win 10.
Tried reinstalling every Moto driver I could find, still there.
Win 10 doesn't even see the phone at all.
Funny, that it all worked good before the card formatting.
I will reformat the card and see what happens.

Yeah,
I can use Airdroid to transfer if needed for now.
I give up for a while. I think that something happened
after 6.0 update and then I formatted SD card to internal
storage. That's when I lost my PC connection???

Go to developer options and see if you can mess with media section when using usb. Make sure mtp is set and try again.

Hi,
I just formatted sd card back to portable. Rebooted phone and pc, still no luck.
I did try a few things in D.O. but to no avail. Must be something in the 6.0 update??
I think I tried everything else so far, even reinstalled all the SDK tools.

While connected to your pc, go to developer options and select usb configuration-> choose audio source -> then choose back mtp.

When I first plugged in my nexus one, windows 7 recognized it and installed the n1 driver... but whenever I tried to mount the nexus one to access it's files, it wont let me; thus, I always have to manually remove the micro sd card and insert it to my sd card slot on my lappy to access it. ( Do keep in mind that I was able to mount my sd card at some point in the past. )
I tried turning on the the usb debugging mode while attempting to mount the sd card like some people suggested with no avail. Does anyone here know how to fix this problem? I would appreciate it very much if someone could help me.
Thanks,
Roxy
Uninstall the n1 driver and try again.

I did try doing that and it didn't work
I get a similar problem mine will mount and then automatically unmount so I cant copy any files to my n1
Use another usb port
Can't say I've ever had this problem before.
USB debugging enabled on the phone
drivers installed
and I can adb remount with any probs... :S
I have, I've tried 4 different port I have also tried on another pc and its the same.
I'm using Windows 7 64bit, no problems with usb driver and accessing N1 storage
try a different cable?

Both doesn't work
maybe your nexus one usb port is goofed. i had that problem on a winmo phone after a while.
and, are you using the stock sd card supplied? or are you using one of the new fangled 32gb? i have a 16gb class 6 that has no issues whatsoever. try a diff sd card. otherwise, it may indeed be busted usb port
Or maybe you aren't responding to the "USB Connected" notification prompting you to "Select to copy files to/from your computer" ?
I doubt it's a USB port problem. I have the same issue with my nexus and windows 7 professional 64 bit. The same phone works flawelessly in XP mode on the same laptop!
So, it seems like it's a driver issue.
Cheers,
Stephane.
This is a common Issue on Android Devices
My roommate identified this issue on his Win 7 Home premium 64 bit machine, we found that when we hook up any G1 or Nexus to that PC none will stay mounted. It shows connected you choose the option to mount the phone will show mounted for a few seconds then will show not mounted and nothing happens on the PC. We have tried with 2 different G1's one rooted one not. Same with 2 Nexus One's, one was rooted one was not. All had the same issue. All of the phones will mount on other machines. We suspected the machine but there are no security settings active to prevent mounting and he is the administrator.
i had to install separate drivers by running devmgmt.msc, right click on nexus one, search for the correct driver in the sdk folder
the usb driver wasn't enough to do it. had to get drivers specifically for nexus one as well
Hello There,
Hope everyone is fine. I am having following issues with my T-Mobile G1 running Android 1.6 original
1. Every time i connect USB with my phone and Laptop & mount the SD card, the phone goes into mass storage mode however when i try to copy files in it, the file copying process is failed and Phone unmounts itself while copying is in progress. However, smaller files less than 500 kb are copied successfully.
2. when phone is locked (gesture lock) the CLI (Calling number or name) is not displayed
Try formatting your SD card.
I tired all and even inserted new memory card but no change
Does the card have the same problem if you connect it directly to your computer (not through the phone)?
Well i didn't tried it but the card is working fine on other phones
Let me guess you're using Windows?
Had this same problem.... Multiple times.
1. Never worked on my fiancees computer.
2. Worked on mine - with problems here and there.
3. Motherboard fried - whipped out old computer and works perfectly.
Micro$oft sucks.
Yup i am using Windows 7.

Well, from my experience, it's random. I'm using Windows 7 atm and it works perfect. Old computer with Windows 7 was iffy at times. Windows just plain out sucks.
so is there a way to read the files i have added after i connect my phone to pc as "hard disk " to transfer files ?
every time i add a file, i have to restart the andriod "phone" for it to see it.
if i try to remove the SD card while andriod is running. it will hang and i will have to restart.
is there some other things that can be done? like. media scanner for example.. will it work ?
thanks
Have you tried unmounting and then mounting the SD card? I don't know if it works or not, but it's worth a try.

In my build all i have to do is clicking "enable usb storage card" when plugging in pc! Then "safe remove" on pc, click "disable usb storage card" and everything works again!!!
Weird!

Use drop box app. Host your own files online and download them directly to your phone.
bangsters 1.5 supports usb mass storage
I'm only guessing, but it sounds to me that he's talking about apps like music and the gallery. They need to be refreshed somehow when you copy new images or audio files, and I've tried and can confirm that unmounting and then mounting does this.

Use swiftp to transfer files to your sdcard then you will be able to access them without reboot.

I am using Droid Explorer to place all the files on my phone.
Works like a charm No reboot needed, only the unmount-mount SDcard option afterwards.
Have a look at this - it may be just what you're looking for ...

Had the same problem, now I'm using an FTP server to make a connection to my phone and I'm transferring my files with Filezilla.
See ftp server in app market or on appbrain.com
I am thinking of getting the M, but it appears the device uses MTP when you connect it a PC. I am coming from ThunderBolt, and certainly enjoyed simply mounting the SD card in Windows, then copying whatever I wanted in and out. I even recovered some files that I accidentally deleted. I would also copy files to the phone for books (in random formats) , apps (apk), videos, photos etc.
Judging by the name I would guess you can copy MP3s to phone under MTP. Can you copy other types of files? Is there a way to just mount the internal storage in Windows? Thanks!

You should be able to copy everything, if you double click on the device in Explorer (on Windows, anyway). It should give you a display of all the folders on the device, I think.
But yes, MTP sucks. For whatever reason, it simply doesn't work with my current phone. Even on a fresh clean install of Windows 7, the driver will not install, and this is seen across multiple computers, stock ROMs and custom ones. I haven't been able to transfer data to or from my phone using the USB cable in ages. I can do it over WiFi, thankfully, and I can also just pop out the microSD card if needed, but MTP still frustrates me to no end.
It works with my tablet just fine, though, so it's the Motorola driver that's messed up.
Engadget review also reported a failure to install drivers for MTP on one of their test machines, despite best efforts to trouble shoot.
Is there even a benefit to MTP? To me it sounds like pure pain.

Why would you be annoyed at all, you can just mount the device as Mass Storage (just like the Thunderbrick) and move files that way. MTP is not an issue.

That's the answer I was hoping for, thank you! One last question : how do you mount the device as mass storage, using the standard Android dialog that shows up in the notification bar?
Please be patient with me, I don't have the phone yet.
Finally, my Thunder hasn't bricked yet, but it's getting close...

It simply gives you the option when you plug it in - you can choose to mount it as usb storage, or mtp.

Not anymore! Since the JB update, the USB mass storage option is gone! This pisses me off since I need that to connect to my vehicle's audio system. WTF would they remove that feature?!
Yeah. It makes me angry... I hate mtp. Gawd Google y u no usb mass storage?!? ¡¿¡

I've never had this problem -- until I upgraded to KK. Now my work PC will not allow me to install the MTP driver. Haven't tried yet on my home pc, but I am not optimistic. Come on! Some genius hacker dude out there has to have figured this one out by now!
Wi-Fi file explorer is my method of choice.

I do not get it. My Maxx mounts what appears to be MTP but when in click on the phone icon in Win7 (actually Parallels desktop on a Mac) the internal SD is mounted! Just like before. That is with 444. So is 442 way different on the older msm8960s?
Now on a Mac it is doodoo.
I can access both SD cards from PC without any problem in MTP mode. I installed the drivers while I was on JB I think

I used to use that on my old phone but forgot about it. I'll have to give it another go. Thanks for the reminder.
So I just purchased a 128gb sd card off amazon and it came in the mail today. I got it and first tried copying all of my data over from my old sd card. I have a mac so I used disk utility and formatted it ms-dos(fat) because it wouldn't show up in my finder without formatting it. Everything copied but then when i plugged it into my phone it would not show up. I also tried the same process with exfat but my media wouldn't show up, at least it mounted though, but only 200mb. The only way i can get my sd card to work on my phone is formatting it through android but then it doesn't work on my computer. Any ideas of what to do? The phone is also not showing up when I plug it in directly via a usb cable and try to use android file transfer.
Thanks to limited file support by your mac
You can connect your phone, select mtp and should show up in file explorer (if mac supports mtp). Android offers few more connectivities as well if mtp doesn't work. If nothing works, well, use Windows or Linux.

If you use a Mac, download the official Google app 'android file transfer.'
Then when you connect any Android a window will open showing you the contents of your device and you can drag and drop ...
