[Q] PC always try to install MTP drivers with N7

I have a Nexus 7 that used to be able to be seen (and trnasfer files) on my Win 7 64-bit Ultimate pc. It is not visible in Explorer now- think it happened after upgrade to 4.2.2
I have tried various ways and means from this site and others but still unsuccessful. My pc kept wanting to install MTP USB drivers everytime I plug the N7 into it even when I have it set as PTP; and the drivers always failed.
I downloaded the Universal naked Drivers and tried to install it as well but problem is that my device only show up as MTP USB (under portable devices) instead of as N7; and under that the drivers is always the failed MTP USB drivers. I cannot browse to install Universal Drivers here cos the pc will not accept it.
Really running out of my wits. Any advises please?
Thanks.

I had initial problems connecting to my pc after installing all the drivers from a toolkit. After searching, I followed a tip and installed pdanet on my phone and pdanet for android on my pc. Now I connect exactly like my phone or other storage with full access to the user storage on the n7 from the pc. Win 7 pro 64bit.

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.

Cannot install Shield drivers

I have downloaded the proper set of shield drivers.
I have set the shield to enable developer and debugging is on.
When I connect the shield to my Win 7 PC it shows up as an unknown device.
Now when I go to the device manager and try to update my driver for said device with my disc, Windows reports that the latest driver is installed.
I've also tried to right click on the .inf file but it will not install.
It seems that my problem is that the Shield is no showing up as something other than an unknown device.
Suggestions please
TNX

Having the same issue here; windows 10 keeps forcefully installing the "generic drivers". When I try to right click and update, it says the generic drivers are the best option (they're not!). Unfortunately the generic drivers wont show up on adb devices also..

Help! Can't Get ADB to Recognize Note 7

I cannot get ADB to recognize my Note 7. I've installed the ADB & FastBoot 15-second install from the XDA forum, but when I plug my N7 into the PC it only recognizes it as a USB drive.
Dev options enabled,
USB Debugging enabled
USB configuration (MTP mode)
The only entries under Other in Device Manager are CDC and MTP, no Android Device. The phone is also listed under Portable Devices. No USB mode brings up "Android" in the list of devices under Other.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Do you have proper Samsung usb drivers installed? Check your device manager, just asking sometimes phones can be finicky when trying to get the PC to recognize devices.

Thanks carelockh! That did the trick. I looked in Device Manager and found that only the Windows USB device driver was installed. I downloaded and installed the Samsung driver and was able to connect over ADB.

No problem, anytime glad I could help.

USB driver update failed

Hi
I am a new user for nexus 6p, For the first time I connected my device to Computer running windows 10 updated. My laptop didn't detect the usb and the driver is not installed properly, I tried downloading the latest usb driver but it didnt help , While searching for the driver folder it throws
Windows was unable to install your unkown drive

You can get the USB drivers straight from Google and try to uninstall/reinstall or download Wugfresh's NRT. There is very good driver installation tool and test to confirm you get both USB and fastboot drivers installed properly. Just follow the "Full Driver Installation Guide"

Hi... Do you have ADB enabled in developer options? If you don't have developer options enabled, go in: settings>about phone and type 7 times on the build number, then go back in settings > developer options and enable "android debugging".
Plug your N6 on your computer, check your phone screen and allow press ok when it asks to "allow USB debugging".
Does it change something? Is your N6 recognized in device manager? Does the driver updates?

...
So My puter recognizes my phone fine....
Pop opened the configuration and General tab says:
This device is not configured correctly. (Code 1)
A service installation section in this INF is invalid.
To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver.
I try and update the driver using the "Let the puter search" feature and it finds one and tells me:
Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device.
Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.
MPE Device
A service installation section in this INF is invalid.
If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit its website and check the support section for driver software.
This is all AFTER I downloaded the latest Google USB drivers and unzipped them.
Phone is set to MTP mode and debugging mode is unlocked and usb debugging is on.
No Go.
