[Q] i seem to be having trouble getting ADB to worko n my windows seven computer

It's probably just because I HAVENT USED IT IN AGES...but I have the USB driver package installed in my sdk and I guess I forget where to go from there. It works fine on my XP...I believe I'm missing the Nexus one drivers that usually install automatically but they aren't...am I?
Please and thank you for the help. I hate change :]

couldnt get adb to work on my win7 either, for some reason qtadb works perfectly, so if that suits your needs i would just use that.

Hm Ok it just keeps saying connect your phone. Could it be because I'm missing the nexus one drivers? Because they wouldn't install when I plugged my N1 in.

Major USB Debugging issue - Windows 7

I'm trying to set up ADB on a Windows 7 PC as I prefer it over using my old XP PC. However, whenever my phone is connected with USB Debugging enabled the whole PC freezes. The only was to reverse it is to switch the computer off by the mains and back on again.
Anyone else experienced this? I can use HTC Sync though! I'm using Blayo's ROM in case that matters.

thats sounds like your pc problem. i'm using win 7 ultimate and pro without problem. i've not tested on a 64bit system tho...

had the same problem..
now everything is ok.. i think it was some app.. killd every app on the nexus s after that windows is running now 2h before it freezes every ~10min.
reason? maybe some app send to much/strange data over the USB port?
(i also enabled and disabled the ADB Interface driver in Device manager, but i think this was not the solution...)
EDIT: Thought had the solution, but it was just coincidence that win7 didn't crash... still have the same problem

Another thing you could try when these things happen is to reinstall the usb ports/drivers. Do this by going to Device Manager, right clicking on all the "USB Root Hub" and select uninstall. Once you've done that for all of them, reboot the pc and Windows will find and install them again.
Also check your firewall/AV isn't blocking anything.

Win7Pro x64 works fine 4me (installed the full 3.0 devkit)

Nexus 4 won't connect to PC.

Hello, i have a very weird problem. My nexus 4 cant connect to pc as mass storage device.. It worked fine like 4 days ago.. I dont know what happened or what else i can try.. Already tried: usb debugging on/off, factory reset, usb settings in storage menu, different usb port, NOTHING HELPED! There are another weird thing that i spoted is that it only charges through usb when i have nothing selected in storage>usb connections menu, as soon as i try to select mtp or camera it stops from charging and nothing happens. Same problem for AC charging it wont charge when theres mtp or camera selected, and only charges as USB... I'm confused.. Are there any ways to get it working again?

I'm having the same problem.. I've just installed Windows 7 64 bit but it sees my Nexus 4 like Unknown Device.. I uninstalling the drivers and re installing them using Nexus Root Toolkit but no result for now..:crying:

Do you have a ROM or anything installed? I know with PA its a problem at the moment at times. A little more info would be nice. I never had a problem with Windows 7. I'm on Windows 8 now and i had an issue at first with it not showing up at times. But it seems to be fine now.

Just go in
Settings,
Dev options (if you not have it go in phone informations and press many times in row the Build Number, this activate Dev options)
and Disable USB Debugging,
then reconnect your phone, and the computer will see it

USB debbuging isnt working. i have no ROMS, stock android 4.3. And yes, now im running WIN 8, previuosly had 7, the problem occured after installing 8 and trying to plug it in. Its not showing in my computer neither in device Manager. I doesnt make any difference with, or without it pluged in, the only difference is that it will start charging, but then again ONLY when i disable everyting in storage>usb connections.

bump

do you have a fast charge app installed? it sounds like it's an issue related to fast charging via USB. if it's enabled you can't access anything on the phone via usb, but i think that requires to at least be rooted.

I'm on last PA 3.99-Rc1 and I just found out that if I go in Setting-Memory the appilcation shutdown .-. Never had this issue before .-.

Nothing, just read that it's a issue with PA while using last Franco Kernel nightly XD I'm going back to windows vista 32bit, so I believe the problem connecting my nexus 4 won't be any more an issue (Going back to Vista because for daily use it worked perfectly and every thing worked fine with the drivers, Windows 7 it's better, but too many issues with drivers bla bla bla XD) :laugh:

I have always used the Windows Driver from the Google SDK (Google USB Driver- As of today, Revision 8) for my Windows 7 64 bit computer and have never had a problem. More importantly there is an Update Manager that comes with the SDK, that when you run, notifies you of newer Windows drivers as they are released. That way as Google issues newer OS builds or Windows issues a new OS, I know that not only my driver but my platform tools aka fastboot/adb/etc. (As of today, Revision 18.0.1) will always be compatible. The problem with these toolkits and driver downloads all over the place on these forums is that you have know idea how old the internals are. The other obvious thing to check is a bad or intermittently bad USB cable. Also make sure "MTP" is checked in Settings > Storage >Settings > USB computer connection.

Hey, I'm sorry if it's against etiquette digging up an old post, but this part worked for me:

Glad I could help. That setting isn't exactly the easiest thing to find.

Fix usb
Go to device manager in windows 7/8/8.1 . Connect your mobile with usb. You will see android device or adb right click on it, select properties, click uninstall driver. NOTE: When you click this a small popup will appear saying remove software driver, tick on it and click uninstall.. there you go ..it will reinstall drivers and your phone will be finally connected.

im having the same problem . My phone shows as Unknown Device on Device Manager. Tried other cables and usb ports. I can tell that the cables and ports are not the problem since my Nexus 7 can connect without problem. Tried usb debuggin on/off, MTP on/off, PTP. Still no luck. Already tried to reinstall drivers but still the same problem. Hoping this is not a hardware issue. I already tried factory reset and flashing other ROMs

My PC doesn't recognize the phone at all

Hello!
I have a Nexus 4 (currently running the latest CM12 nightly) and I have been struggling with this issue for a long time. I needed to transfer some photos on my PC and when I connected my phone I found out that the PC doesn't recognize it at all - it doesn't appear in the Device manager and I don't even have Other devices and/or Android devices as categories in there too. This was about a few months ago when my PC was running Windows 8.1. Before this issue occured I had no problems connecting my phone to the same PC, running the same OS and even in the same port. And also I was running CM nightly builds back at that time too. I started using AirDroid, but it's a pain the butt to transfer masses of files such as photos from there, because it takes a huge amount of time. So basically I have tried the following with no result:
Turned on USB debugging
Tried all of the PC ports and even a USB hub
Tried a different USB cable
Installed Android SDK
Deleted every single USB driver and reinstalled it seperately
Now I am running Windows 10 64x on my PC and it might come as a surprise, but the phone still is not being recognized at all. Yesterday I tried to connect it to a friend's PC and it was actually recognized and I could access i, but I need it to work on my own PC. I will be truly grateful if you could help me resolve this issue and I apologize if there has ever been such a thread in here, but I just made my account Thanks in advance and have a nice day.

So, with Win 8.1, at one point, Microsoft via their Win updates pushed out an Acer ADB Device Driver which was complete sheet, and you had to roll it back to get it to work. I only vaguely recall the details, but sounds like you uninstalled them. Here is a thread on the issue: http://www.eightforums.com/drivers-...usb-issue-since-last-windows-8-1-updates.html
You might try downloading Wug's NRT, and going through the driver clean up and install steps and see if that fixes it. You may have some USB device which needs to be removed or failed. The Toolkit will walk you through the process. Also, remember on W10, you do not get an obvious pop-up (to the point I have questioned whether my device was detected), but if you click the Messages bubble in the bottom right of the screen and expand it, if it detects, it will tell you a device was detected.

No USB file transfer with any Android 10 ROM :(

Hello!
Please advise, I really don't know what to do with it anymore ...
Every ROM with Android 10, including Crdroid, Pixel Experience etc ... as soon as I upload it to the Mi A1, then (after normal first start and boot) I connect the USB cable and choose "USB transfer files", so it just doesn't appear on a Windows PC and I cannot transfer anything. As if the phone was just unplugged, it's just charging USB tethering works. Direct selection of "USB file transfer" in the developer options won't help either. Where's the problem? Once I get back to Android 9 (Any... Stock and AOSP), everything is fine.
I flash the ROM normally. Starting from STOCK, unlock the original bootloader, load TWRP, delete DATA, SYSTEM, INTERNAL, DALVIK, flash ROM, then GAPPS (eventually) and then restart...
I really don't know where the problem is when nobody reports anything like that here

? Might be something to do with the usb driver(s) on your pc. Also if you can't get it to work then try FTP as that's an alternative. See if you can transfer files via usb when you boot into recovery (twrp etc). Have you tried Derpfest ROM? That ROM might work for it. Just a few possibilities lol

I don't assume that it would be a USB driver, because the same phone with Android 9 works normally. And to replace the direct connection via USB by FTP connection? I don't think about it for a second Maybe when I'm in a bit of a mood I'll try another ROM and maybe I'll be lucky...
I'm rather surprised that no one has a similar problem and I would just like to solve it
Anyway, thanks for trying to help me

Hi,
Try flashing latest firmware. For me personally, New USB Cable solved it

On the other hand, you can always use something Like mixplorer with ftp or HTTP server

I'm calling off my problem!
It was really enough to completely remove the existing drivers and let Windows do its job and install them again.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
This should happen to newbies only! Unfortunately, I made it very complicated IN MY HEAD and I didn't think clearly
I apologize to everyone!

It is a problem with the drivers, it does not matter what ROM you use or if you have Android 9 or 10. You have to enter the Windows task manager, put the mobile in file transfer mode and delete Google driver by uninstalling the device from the system, just delete that driver and re-target your Mi A1 to PC. Windows will install the correct driver.

In Windows 10,go to Device manager & uninstall Google nexus device.then plug your phone.Storage working well

Removed the Nexus in Device Manager and reconnected the USB cable .. This pushed my Google Pixel device into USB File Transfer mode.
