When I connect my Nexus 7 to my Windows XP (SP3) PC via USB, it's obvious the computer recognizes it and it tries to install ADB drivers. Whether I choose to install those drivers or not, I still can't locate my device in the Windows Explorer Tree. I checked Disk Management for the hell of it and nothing but my PC's harddrives were there. There's an attempt to install drivers for "MTP" but that fails and I'm pretty sure that's the cause; however, I'm unable to replicate it, even as I uninstall/reinstall applicable drivers from the device manager the MTP failure never happens anymore. I did some googling and found a thread with someone who had a similiar experience. In turn, I downloaded https://www.box.com/s/2c25e8bc42ecce400afd to try a different set of drivers. Same problem. Driver install is fine for ADB, but still unable to see my device in Windows Explorer. I'm able to successfully connect the device to the PC with PTP for the camera. I can access DCIM and cache which can serve as a work around, but I'm hoping you can provide any ideas you might have. Thank you!
edit - ***resolution***: Ok, I figured it out...I had to disable USB debugging. I don't know if this helped either, but I installed these drivers as an alternative to the drivers that were originally installed: https://www.box.com/s/2c25e8bc42ecce400afd
While connected to PC, I switched to PTP mode because I was about to give up and just use that
I then disabled usb debugging and switched back to MTP at which point the drivers successfully installed and I could now view my device in Windows Explorer. I also believe downloading the drivers in the link above helped since the first crack I took at this was unsuccessful with existing drivers.
install pdanet on pc and it will install drivers for u so it will be recognized

Been battling with this on my XP machine since yesterday. I couldn't even get debugging to work until I installed NakedDriver. And even still, there seems to be no way to get MTP to work without turning debugging off. On my Win7 machine everything worked perfectly, both ADB and MTP, right out of the box. I have the Galaxy Nexus drivers installed on both machines (which I've read are compatible with the N7). I also have the latest version of Windows Media Player (I've read that some older versions have issues with MTP). Is anyone else able to run ADB and MTP on XP?
*edit*
A: Does PDAnet let you use MTP and ADB simultaneously? Because I really don't want to install it if I don't have to. I got rid of it ages ago (too many things starting up at boot time).
B: I have a Galaxy Nexus also, and I have no issues on the XP box.
I wouldn't bother with MTP, it's not always showing the contents of the internal storage properly when viewed in Windows Explorer.
Earlier today when I was trying to set up a backup profile for it, it didn't copy all the files off. On closer inspection I found folders like TitaniumBackup to be completely empty, which is not true according to ES File Explorer on the tablet.
I tried connecting MTP again, with USB Debugging on and off but this made no difference. Also I'm only seeing the Notifications folder instead of 36 folders on the internal storage now, really random how it's working.

Same here. No change with the Asus drivers. Still can't use MTP when ADB is turned on.
poo. how do I transfer my audiobooks to this stupid device without working drivers?
1. Please disconnect Nexus7
2. Remove drivers on PC.
3. Toggle ON : Settings->Wireless&Networkings->More->NFC.
4. Re-connect device
Good luck !

1. Uncheck MTP, check the one next to it (Camera)
2. Unplug USB
3. Turn off USB Debugging (Uncheck it)
4. Plug in USB
5. Should say connected as camera, then a new window will pop-up allowing you to see your files.
Tell me if it works!
im having trouble too, is there any way to make the device to be recognised as a flash drive?
Internal memory partly invisible from Windows 7 Explorer

Same observation here (a few months later) on stock Android 4.1.1 rooted.
It seems that new files in the internal memory remain invisible for a long time, but so far they have become visible eventually, sometimes a day or two later. I have no clue what could possibly cause this, and I have not found any trick or workaround that makes them visible, not even rebooting. Any hint is welcome.

Didn't work. Just shows up as a camera with the limited folder access one would expect.
Workaround
I now use the following workaround.
Install SDrescan from Google Play.
Run it.
If you already had your phone connected to a computer as a media device (MTP) and are watching the contents of your SD card or internal memory in Windows Explorer, press F5 to refresh your view. If not, connect it now.
I'd be curious whether this works for you as well. If it does, press the THANKS button below.
Same issue with an old ibm x40 udated to windows xp pro SP3.

hi,
I've connected my device to my laptop via USB cable that was supplied. so I've been using my device a while and copied music on and off it etc.
The past few days when I try to copy music or pictures to and from my device i get a error messages. I get the message a device attached to system is not functioning.
when i open the device folder under explorer i can only see folders and when i open the folders it says 0 items in the folder. but if I go in on my device there are files in the selected folder.
now I've searched the web from left to right and only get solutions for the note II mobile device that has a USB mass storage function, which the galaxy note 8.0 does not have.
I've downloaded Kies and USB drivers and it still did not resolve my issue.
i have a HP Probook 4540s running windows 8. I'm not very good with these kind of stuff at all.
any help would be greatly appreciated
For me that happens when there a problem with driver or kies .. I'd recommend reinstalling

so I got the latest Universal Naked Drivers 0.73 zip file, extraced it to its own folder on my desktop, and then I opened device manager, went to Other Devices>Nexus 4, right clicked, uninstalled, restarted my laptop and nexus 4, and then opened device manager again, and this time clicked on Update Drivers for nexus 4, and when I select browse files on my computer, then I click that folder, which has two sub folders in it, one for AMD64 and then i386, and there is also some other files in the main folder, outside the subfolders, called androidwinusba64 and androidwinusb86, as well as two more called android_apxusb and android_winusb.
But When i click on the main folder so it searched through that and the two subfolders, it keeps saying it's not finding any drivers for my device, and i've tried clicking on each of the sub folders, and neither of those make it work either. I've done what every guide has shown me, which I've installed drives hundreds of times in my 27years of life, and I have never had a problem before. Especially not with Android devices. I can't get my brand new 16gb nexus 4 that i just got yesterday (got it while I wait for Tmobile to get the Nex5 in stock, and then I am switching them out) to show up under my computer as a media device so I can actually drop files onto it. I dont get what the issue is here. I know that the 4.3 update (which I updated to last night when i first powered on my phone and activated it) cause some driver issues from what i've read, but supposedly they have been fixed or whatever, and this Naked Driver is supposed to help as well. But getting them installed first would work better lol. everytime I plug the phone in, it tries to install the drivers itself, but it keeps failing for some reason. Any thoughts on how to proceed ?
It's ADB driver, you need to enable USB Debugging. If you are using Windows 8, reboot it into advance mode and disable driver signature checking.

i already know all that lol I've been modding for quite a few years, so I know all about USB debugging, thanks tho. That's definitely not the problem. I can get the phone to work with ADB no problem, but I can't get it to show up as a media device like its supposed to when i have that selected in the USB mode options.
Oh, and I am sorry, I shoulda clarified, I am on Win 7. I already read about the Windows 8 thing tho. Which I got a copy of Win8, so I do plan on upgrading soon, check it out see what its like. But I just gto a new copy of Ubuntu, so I've been playing around with that a lot lately.
Anyone ? I have tried so many different things and Just can't get it to work, bout to chuck my laptop out the window lol
I can't speak for the naked drivers as I have never used them, but the ones that come with the SDK work fine with Win 7 on Android 4.3 (Copy and pasting files with Windows Explorer, adb, fastboot, etc.).
Did you resolve your issue? If not you should try to run "Usb Tree View" and make sure your phone internal USB switch is set to PDA and not MODEM or BOTH etc. I don't know how that works for the Nex4 but its a thing to look at.
Hi. I am a Windows Phone transplant. I got my Nokia 6 from Amazon and I am connecting it up via USB to put my music collection on the SD card. When I connect, it mounts as a CD and there is a setup for what looks to be the drivers there. When I run setup, nothing happens. The computer is Win 10. When I took the phone out of the box (from Amazon US), I noticed that the Amazon preloaded app took me to the Chinese Amazon site. so I think that this version is based heavily on the Chinese ROM. Does anyone have a direct link to the USB drivers for the PC? The ones I have seen on searching all look very dubious.
It was pretty cool turning this phone into an Android powered/Microsoft Services phone.
thanks
The Amazon app is just configured for Chinese. You can select another language, just go to the link next to the flag, drop down box, find the USA flag.
For the USB connection, after you connect the phone to the PC, on the phone, swipe down from the top and you should see a notification "USB *****". The "****" could be PTP, charging, MTP, etc. You want to use MTP to transfer files to the phone.
I am using MTP to connect, but has I mentioned, The phone is opening as a CD-ROM on the computer where there is a setup program with Drivers on it and it is write protected. If I try to run the setup program that it presents, Nothing happens. It starts, and gives me the Admin make changes screen, but after that nothing. This is the drivers that I think need to be on my computer to mount the phone properly to transfer files.
Mine did the same but as the previous poster said change it to mpt on the phone then in file explorer Nokia 6 appeared and when I clicked on it both the internal and sd cards showed up and I copied my music folder directly to sd card

I have the same issue. I tried choosing the MTP, even PTP as well, from the USB options, but still no luck in seeing the internal storage of my phone. Maybe this is a Windows 10 issue? I tried connecting my phone on my windows 8.1 PC and it worked fine. Anybody has a workaround on this?
my phone always have a pop-up ask me if I want to enable file transfer when I connect to a pc, maybe check if yours have the same pop-up.

Phone does not show as drive
When I connect my Nokia 6 via USB, I get a popup asking what i want to do (charge, charge and transfer and two I can't remember at the moment). It does not show up as a (USB) drive (i.e. it is not assigned a drive letter), but among the Libraries (like Downloads, Pictures, etc.). I see the CD-ROM drive with the USB driver setup as well, but I guess you only need that when the phone does not show up right away. (Maybe on older versions of Windows?)
I can write to the phone and the SD card. I have a 64 GB Samsung class 10 card, it writes at only 12 MB/s; is that normal?
When I clicked 'Properties' on the SD Card, I saw that it was formatted as FAT32, so that explains why I can't write large (>4 GB) video files to it. Shame. Does anyone have an idea if this is ever gonna change?. I tried formatting the card to ExFat, but then the phone just says 'incompatible file system' or something like that.
Can't get access to my phone data mother internal nor external
I am using MTP to connect, but has I mentioned, The phone is opening as a CD-ROM on the computer where there is a setup program with Drivers on it and it is write protected.

I have the same problem on Windows 8.1 x64
Nevermind, I found the solution for my device, I can't guarantee it's the same for you.
Open your settings on your phone
Go to About Phone
Repeatedly tap on Build number untill a message pops
up saying that you're a developer now.
Go back into settings and open Developer options now
Scroll down and find USB Debugging and turn it on.
That's it, you should be able to manage your files now
Finally Nokia is making Andorid based phones now. Because Android is the kind of OS people need today. With tons of application choice.
You can download the ADB driver for your Nokia in this link:
https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/latest_usb_driver_windows.zip
change your cable. That's what the problem is
