Can I use a smartphone to usb on my pc for a Windows 10 recovery?
No you have to make a bootable USB. Actually I don't know if you can format mobile as a bootable USB, but I don't think so.

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?

Restarting my PC, with the phone connected did the trick for me, I had exactly the same problem.

I'm not talking about ADB remount ^^; I'm talking about USB->SD Card mount.

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
I recently installed Windows 8 x86 M3 using Daemon Tools from inside Windows 7. So Far I am loving it, but it has a few glitches, and I cannot install all of my programs since some of them are only for x64. Obviously I cannot run the install from within an x86 environment. I used the Windows USB/DVD Tool to format and copy the install files to an 8gb usb flash drive. It boots fine and I begin the install. However I get an error when I reach the time to choose a hard disk to install to. No Drives Found! I click browse to select the drivers and in the browse menu all of my disk drives are listed...I can even navigate to my chipset driver folder. When I get to the proper folder the driver for the nvidia chipset pops up. I click install, and Windows begins to install the drivers. After a few seconds it completes and then gives me the same error...No Drives Found!
I currently have my 2 SATA drives in IDE Mode. This is because I do not want to set up a RAID Array for fear of losing all the data on both drives. So I assumed in IDE Mode Windows shouldnt need a RAID driver.
Does anyone have any ideas to help me out with this? I was thinking windows 7 portable x64, but that requires a 16gb Flash drive...so I read. Maybe XP portable x64? Or just any clue how to get my drives detected?
what happens to me himself and tried everything copy the drivers on a CD but nothing
so to fix this i am considering switching to raid. i am goint to copy all of my data to my 1tb hdd. then add my 2tb hdd to the raid array by itself. my question is can i mount the 1tb sata hdd, not in the raid array, to copy the data to the new raid array before converting the 1tb hdd to raid? or can this only be done with usb or in linux?
i had this problem and it turned out to be a buggered download of the ISO, re downloaded it and it worked fine.
cant promise it will work for you but im chuffed with it now and thats the only thing i did
Sorry if I miss understand you, but are you trying to install 32bit Windows 8 on an 64x Machine? And the Disk Image is a 32bit Version?
Try Downloading the 64bit Developer Preview from Microsoft. Then use the Windows 7 USB Download tool and create a install drive from the ISO file. Reboot and it should work. I've run into this before an it's usually when I use a DVD.
I'd link you to the ISO's and USB tool but I'm a new user :C

I read it is not possible to do USB mass storage on the N4 because you would need position to be fat32.. and read that if you do enable it you couldn't read the partition on windows as it's ext4..
I run Linux so I can read ext4 no problem.. so is there a way to enable USB mass storage to use in Linux?
I hate the options we have for USB support to transfer files as half the time it don't work in Linux, and if I use on windows on other people's computers you need to download drivers..
USB mass storage you don't need any special drivers..
I doubt it, but hopefully when nexus 5 comes out they will give us an SD card slot and USB mass storage!

Won't happen for Nexus 5. SD cards are not liked by Matias Duarte. And I think they've fully have moved to MTP. I do feel your pain win Linux. But you can get MTP to work. I have it working on my Ubuntu machine
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4
I am using Kubuntu 13.10 and MTP is working very really well without issues, first Ubuntu version that have it working right for me.
You can also try Go-mtpfs which will mount the drive and you can manipulate the files just like UMS and using syncing app, but its not entirely bug free as of now: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/12/how-to-mount-android-40-ubuntu-go-mtpfs.html
I had mtp working, but seems only pictures and videos transfer.. no other file types..
Maybe I had something wrong..

Same here. I figured maybe I missed something. I have connected it using MTP and PTP. It will only allow transfer of pictures. I really need to know how to transfer files from computer to my phone. If I select zip to transfer it says not compatible. If I am connected to laptop and using Nexus 4 Toolkit, it recognizes the device, still can't manually transfer files though.
I've only been using Ubuntu for about a week and I'm having no trouble with transferring files via MTP. You need the Android SDK installed, just google it, I don't have a link. It seems to freeze up if I try to copy multiple large files, like a ROM plus Gapps for example, but it's fine if I copy them one at a time.
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???
Ken
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.

Your next bet is try non windows 10 OS and report back. Someone mentioned, windows 10 issue in regards to no recognizing sd card and it worked on windows 7

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

Hi,
Well, another surprise. It works on my daughters Windows 7 laptop and
on my wifes Windows 10 PC. ??? Still can't figure this out. I copied all
the drivers that were loaded on wifes Win 10 pc. Going to try to get
these drivers and manually add them to my Win 10 laptop.
