Yesterday I was able to connect my Tab to my Win XP PC using the USB cable. I was able to transfer files without difficulty. But, some how I must have changed a setting on the Tab and the Tab is no longer recognized by any of my PC's. I think it is a Sync setting that was changed.
Now, when I connect using the USB cable, the PC says " Found New Hardware MTP"
What settiing do I need to change to get the PC to recognize the Tab?
Check under application > development > usb debugging.
Thanks, I found a USB driver on the Acer site. That seems to have solved the problem. But, that driver was not needed yesteray, and I don't know what "MTP" means?

Even my Windows 7 boxes do not recognize the a500 without installing the USB driver from the Acer site. Guess you somehow got lucky
Mine always saw the internal 16gb on my Win7 machine. Before the latest updates, I was able to connect with my Win7 PC with no problem and even go to STORAGES and see my 32gb card. It no longer works now. All I see now is SD which is empty.
Which means I cannot copy anything directly to the Micro SD (external_sd). It worked before the last couple of updates. I'm currently running 4.010.10. Now I have to copy it to the 16 internal from the PC and then use the tablet to copy it to the external_sd.
Acer giveth and taketh away.... bummer.
Edit: And yes ... my debugging is on. Always has been. Stock kernel too.
Anyone figure this out yet?
I can't connect on my Win7-64 PC at all.
My 32 bit laptop will connect, but not to SD card, only internal SD.
Try turning development off when using usb go pc which no need for driver, if development is on then you need driver installed.

i can't get my tab to connect to my mac , ive tried both usb ports, ive tried ticking usb-debugging on and off with no luck. Anyone know whats wrong?
If you are having usb issues go to acers web site and go to the drivers and download section for the iconia a500. make sure you look under the honeycomb 3.0 downloads and not the 3.1. as the drivers are not listed under 3.1. download the drivers to your pc (not your tablet)and install. it is an 89 megabyte file so I am sure it has the drivers for everyone in it.
Alos if you are ojn honeycomb 3.0 make sure you get the wi-fi unpate as well while you are there it fixes lots of wi-fi problems.
Remember to thanks if I have helped you.
Thanks for the quick reply in the drivers package There is none for mac and on my fascinate it connects without problem and i never instaled any drivers
Chuban7, Hi well I am not a mac person but I did look around the net a bit and from what I see there are not usb drivers persay for android for mac. but what i have found is there are several companies who mac sync software that connects android to mac. One site to check out is http://www.salling.com/MediaSync/mac/ they have free versions of thier software to use. Give it a try. but there are many other venders of mac to android sync software. seems only way from what I read cant find usb drivers anywhere for ya for any android device.
You can also look through the android market for a free program called"auto mount your sd card" supose to work with mac but I dont know as I dont have a mac
MY personal choice is a program also free on market called "software data cable" again suppose to work with macs and pc's it is completely wireless so no usb cable needed to transfere files so in theory then no usb drivers needed either.
You can also use a program called dropbox allso free it works great just drop files into the dropbox folder and then once they upload go open dropbox on your android and bingo there ya go thier is your files. works in reverse too for android to computer.
Only thing I can figure is that apple hates android and between them and microsoft are tring to run android into the ground so it would stand to reason if you hated a compeating vendor why would you make it easy for them to run thier devices on your software. There is a reason apples Ipod/pad stuff works and others dont apple dont want you to buy android lol.
Just my little conspericy theory stuff good luck hope any of this helps you.
I have the same issue with Linux so it's not a Mac issue. I can plug my Android phone in and it mounts and show up as a USB device that I can then take a file manager and copy/paste/delete files. I use this all the time to transfer files to my phones sd card. Neither the A100 or the A500 will mount as a drive on my Linux machine. I like them but that is pretty much a deal breaker to me.

Somehow I feel very doubtful that your Linux OS cannot be set up to mount the a500 as a USB storage device. My Linux skills are rather rusty and outdated, however - so I could be wrong. Can you emulate a stripped down version of windows from your Linux system to get around this?
I can vouch for using software data cable (free app from AM).
Works perfectly with my iMac and should do with PC, since it essentially opens an FTP port on the Iconia (port 8888 by default) that can be accessed by any FTP client on the computer (I use Cyberduck on Mac, FireFTP plugin for Firefox works on all OS's).
If you are rooted, check root access in the app settings to get into the root, and find /mnt/external_SD for the add-on card. It is probably smartest not to leave the root access on all of the time unless you really need it as there is abundant opportunity to create havoc accidentally

I didn't say it couldn't be done, I just think that it's strange and wrong to make an Android device dependent on having Windows. Yes I suppose I could install Windows in a Vm but I won't.
Using Google (pun intended) I found a fairly simple solution. It's not plug-n-play but is very doable even by an non techie.
There are also some ways of access the Tab file system using a browser and Wifi

Nice app thanks, didn't show up when searching for FTP servers. ;(
The only minor issue I see is that at 1st glance it appears that you don't have access to the external_sd card unless Rooted.
Did work better than any of the other FTP servers I have tried.
Hi everyone
I have a problem with my usb host controller
the tab is not recognizing it anymore
it used to work fine before
I tried the same usb host on another tab & its working with no issues
I installed USB Host Controller from the market & here is the stats showing in the application:
S3C USB host driver NOT found!
Root hub present, USB Host mode is active!
any help would be appreciated
thanx
same problem here, i have no solution found at the moment
Ok so i have followed this guide to flash the stock firmware hoping that it might solve this issue
no luck ... it is still same as before
i have also noticed that the flashing did not wipe the internal memory
so i did a factory reset which also did nothing for both the usb problem & the internal memory (Strange...)
i really cant seem to locate the thing that's causing this issue
Hope someone can help
Thanks
Tried doing a nandroid restore from another tab hoping it might solve this issue
but still not able to recognize the USB
i'm thinking it might have something to do with the partitioning of the tab but there is nothing i can do about it since i couldn't find a pit file for the tab
I hope anyone can help on this matter
Thanx
i put a hostfile up on:
vvv.mod2xtreme.com/showthread.php?t=11722
ehm, i thought the 7.7 has built-in usb-host functionality ?

Hey guys,
I'm having a bit of an issue with my s4, in my efforts to fix it, I am transferring files to my laptop, I'm using LinuxMint Mate Edition but I get a "can not lock device" error. I can use my windows partition, and it works fine so no problems there, but was seeing if anyone knew how to mount as a hard drive? I've enabled usb debugging and no go.
Mtp shows 2 ipods/media players but no files inside.
Ptp shows a camera, but files are all "corrupted". (they are not, that's just what it's telling me.)
I can put them on windows then access via linux, but I'd like to be able to just boot linux instead of running around.
(my windows is jacked, after x minutes it starts giving up, hard drive is partitioned so linux isn't affected by bad sectors, runs perfectly).
So yeah, any assistance would be most appreciated
Thanks
***edit:
Figured it out.
1. Apparently the ports was iffy, cable had to be just right for data transfer. Switched ports.
2. Look up go-mptfs! Build it from source and you should be good to go for those older linux distros
Hello, I have a sprint Samsung galaxy s4 that is on version 4.3 and latest bandwidth, I just rooted it and I'm about to try adding a custom rom to see if it can fix my issue.
My issue is that I can't pay sprint bill so, it's deactivated by Sprint and when I updated from 4.2 to 4.3 my wifi stopped working and now I can't get it to work again. I just want to use my device with wifi for now. If anyone can solve this issue please write on my thread and help me out.
Thank you for your time.
The custom rom just finished downloading and now I can't transfer the zip file on to my phone's internal storage, it keeps getting denied. Anyone know how to get it on the without an sd card?
I just tried copying the zip folder to the sd card and it's not letting me. HELP?

have someone download it for you and BT it over......bout the only other way....you should check and make sure that your phone is mounted to your computer correctly and that your trying to place the .zip in the correct storage location. also i usually have USB debugging on and have never had any problems.....to turn on usb debugging go to about phone>tap on where it say build number 7-9 times untill developer options are enabled>check usb debugging. hope this helps
If you have another Android device you can use superbeam on both to transfer the file to the device. Download the rom on one device and use superbeam to send it to the S4. It uses QR code so you will need a QR scanner which is in the play store. Or use a card reader to connect to your SD card to move the file. Honestly I would just use superbeam if possible. Have you tried to run Odin or kies to re-install the MJA update?

usb debugging is and was on when I tried doing that. Still didn't work. Beaming won't work for me, no one has an Android that I know of.

there should be no reason you cant just xfer to your phone from your computer. check drivers, security, admin rights. do the same for your device your rooted so make sure there is nothing conflicting. on a side note get a sd card (and sdcard reader for your comp if necessary).....itll make life easier. if you already have one try copying all your files to internal and reformat the card then try again......its something small and simple your missing here. it could even be the cable your using......
Hello, please help with updating and where to download new software for the above-mentioned radio. Chipset AC8227L, 1/16 GB. I downloaded programming from https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/help-with-this-chinese-hu-alps-8227l_demo.3930394/ ; every time ith throws an error to let me check the usb and files. I changed 3x USB stick and memory cards, each time the same, FAT32 format.
Hi, format SD card possibly greater than 4GB with standard settings - FAT32 or ExFAT file system and deafult allocation rate.
Next, download one of firmwares that suits your device (for 8227L it has a lot of them on this forum but your device maybe have different UI than XPH.8227_8_xxxxxx mentioned in this above link).
In my oppinion the ones that will work for your model begins with XRC,CHS, JC.
Firmware for download are like this example : CHS.8227L-8.UI4.Android_10_ver.6_xxxx(date of update)
After download and unzipping two files, .bin and .upd transfer those two files on freshly formated disk, nothing else just these two files. If transfering from PC or laptop make sure that you eject the drive before pulling out from PC.
Next step is to make the unit recognize system on SD card. Put the ignition key in contact mode or better turn engine on (before that insert SD card in memory card slot, not MAP slot !) and start tapping with one finger on center on screen untill message DETECTED is seen on upper screen area. If successful it will recognize files and start automatically updating (wait till finishes and enters system / UI), if not or fails to recognize files for update repeat process two or three times untill successful.
If still nothing, enter erase mode / recovery mode (purge of internal memory and files) by tapping with all five fingers on screen. When recovery is completed (it will turn to factory settings) device will be empty of all memory tasks, prevoius configurations etc. , just clean install of Android system, running and with no apps and settings configured. Then insert SD card and try update again.
If device even won't go in recovery mode then you have some factory settings like "protection" or "install" enabled. Turn this off both in factory settings / menu OTHER.
Good luck !

It's on forum here just type in search bar 8227L firmware and find best choice for you. If not found wil send you a link.
Sorry but I am not able to find the latest software compatible with my radio, there is too much of it, please help.
I will add that my radio does not have slots for SD cards and Maps, there is only a female USB input to which I can connect a USB flash drive, the device is fully touchable without buttons.
it is probably a Chinese counterfeit I bought on aliexpress, there will be a problem with the selection of the update
Similar firmware to yours is here https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1a9yoWoiuMZRoQVL5O677Y9tmQHHAtmbo
Try to install this one it is TSKJ/CHS UI firmware for devices with 8227L chipset.
Extzract and put downloaded files onto USB drive formated for FAT 32 and try updateing.
memory formatted in FAT32, tried for two different, only two files extracted, each time in green DETECTED and after a while in red "Fail, please check USB and files", I tried several times
restoring the settings with a five-finger touch also did not work
I deleted the data to the initial state, but the update still does not start
I noticed that if I detach the USB and I make a finger movement during startup, the symptom is the same, as if I would not see the usb
Do you have install option in factory settings disabled ? Or protection option ? If do deactivate PROTECTION and enable INSTALL in factory settings (pin code) / OTHER submenu. Then try updating again.
yes, I have it done, I also entered the pin, unfortunately unchanged
Use another USB drive with 2.0 speed not 3.0 if this is the case.
Maybe it's just some stupid thing like this that is keeping you from updating.
If this not succesfull either check your device usb ports if they are working thru USB debug command in factory settings, also turn on all USB to be 2.0 and not 1.1 maybe will help somehow. I think that USB port is missconfigured and are causing not to update.
Another thing , if you have by hand any SD card and USB card reader try with that.
I have debugging turned on in the settings after entering the code 8888, and the USB is switched to 2.0, I tried with a new pendrive and with an SD card reader that I put into the USB, unfortunately still unchanged, I also changed the USB input on the back of the radio by switching the cable

Hm, this is a hard one, has this unit of yours been rooted ?
Honestly, I don't know how can I check it? how to root?
If it turns out I have root, does that change anything?
Install from Google play any app that contains root tester and see. Yes if it is rooted device is modified and altered and do not have stock firmwares, which leads to undesired complications and problems.
If the device turns out to be root, it is possible to work around it in some way to install other software?
I checked, the app showed that my device does not have root
today I bought memory 2.0, but still unchanged, these are my settings, is everything ok?
