[Q] Google Nexus 7 - USB issues, tried everything - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Tried ASUS drivers, installed them, USBDeview shows Android Composite ADB Interface and is listed as connected. Device Type = unknown
Tried PDANet drivers, didn't work
Tried WUGS Toolkit drivers
Tried reinstalling Windows 7 on a fresh drive.
Tried some random ass Samsung drivers.
Uninstalled all USB devices in USBDeview and plugged them back in one by one, then tried the above drivers.
Tried all of the above in Debug, MTP, PTP and just connecting as normal (no dev/Debug mode)
Tried 4 different micro USB cables and every port on my computer.
I'm sure I've tried something else but I must've forgotten. So, should I throw this mother ***** at the wall and exchange it for a different 32gb? Or try 32-bit windows 7?
I tried to use Windows XP but my PC freaked the hell out and blue screened on setup. Either the disc is bad for no good reason or the setup didn't like my 8gb of DDR3.
Please help, I'm not the average dumbass who plugs in the tablet, doesn't work, then just hops right on the forums to ask without doing extensive research.

And now I realize this belongs in the Nexus 7 Q&A, filthy noob that I am.

SOLVED
Media Feature Pack for Windows 7 N with Service Pack 1 and Windows 7 KN with Service Pack 1 (KB968211)
Google search that and download it from Microsoft's website along with Windows Media Player 11.
This made it work, now I am able to transfer files in USB Debug mode and My Computer recognizes it.

[Q] Windows 7 64bit not recognising USB Mode?

Folks,
I think this is a driver issue, but I'm not sure how to solve it. I can get the phone to recognise USB mode in Developer access, but I can't seem to get it to work by using the USB Mode in the network options.
The problem only seem to happen on my Windows 7 64bit machine (and another one I tried). I tried it on a Win95 machine at work and it had no problems recognising it either way.
It doesn't seem to matter if I install keis or not on the machines; the Win95 one worked right off the bat with no installation.
I know this is only a minor issue, but it is a niggling one. Has anyone else encountered the same issue?
I used it on a modded 64-bit W7 and it worked when transferring music, but it transfered at < 100kbps and it wouldn't let me transfer videos or sync with Kies Air.
Anyone else who is having issues? I'd like to know how to solve it. Not necessarily that other people have theirs working.
Nope no problems with win7 x64. Transfer files at ~12mb/s
Edit: cant remember which device i formated mem card on but either the computer or phone formatted card made transferring stuff realllly slow. Try formating with both.

i can connect and transfer files on my Win 7 32 bit and galaxy s 2. i don't know how's 64 bit. you can use latest Kies. but i have anohter issue about connecting. when they connected by USB, it show me "click home button to close Kies". i do it, but i can't connect them again. i don't find the Kies on my phone. i don't know which is useful Kies or USB?
I am running windows 7 pro 64 bit and I have no issues :s. Try a different USB port? Try going into device manager and searching for new hardware?
Had same problem, went into the bios and enable legacy usb, samsung galaxy s2 connects and work tried on 3 computer 2 with windows 7 64 bit one with ubuntu linux all work now.

Stupid HTC drivers....

So I battled with the MTP drivers forever and gave up...at least Windows 7 was able to communicate/see the device. Then I installed winamp...
Now Not only does Winamp not find the HOX+ under devices, but windows doesn't see anything on the phone. It shows up as a driver under My Computer..but no communication with it is possible. I simply get a message saying the device is not present or has stopped working....
Anyone else have trouble?
i was having the same issue. what i found was that i had both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports on my laptop, (windows 7 x64) which i wasnt aware of. switched over to USB 2.0 ports and it mounted as a cd drive, prompted to install software and installed all drivers. kinda crazy, but thats what i did.

USB Plugin problems

I am having a problem plugging my Note2 into multiple PCs - USB2 and USB3 ports both tried, multiple pcs and laptops tried.
All running Windows 7 (Pro or Enterprise). The N2 is bone stock, no root yet.
It makes the sound like it sees the USB, but fails installing all of the drivers, and never brings up the window to explore the SD contents.
I have tried multiple drivers - the S3 driver that some said would be no issue does not work. Different carrier versions do not work.
Last I checked, there was no verizon version driver available.
Here is my process.
I plug it in.
It says Connected as Installer
I pull the window down, choose MTP.
It tries to install different drivers
Never completes in Windows, says failed.
I have tried with debugging checked and without.
I have tried aftermarket cables (namebrand and off-brand) as well as OEM cables from the S2, S3 and Note2.
I've removed hidden USB devices and plugged it into multiple different USB ports to try and get it to work.
Any ideas guys? Are you guys plugging your Note 2's in and are able to browse the internal storage no prob through windows ? If so, how?
nothing?
Simmilar USB connecting issues
My Note 2 does connect as a MTP media device with "directories" Card & Phone, via win7
But I want to connect the sd card as a standard usb mappable drive just like every other phone I ever had.
It seem Android used to allow this but now may not. Or I haven't found the magic setting.
I had a similar issue after I flashed the rooted image, I had to disable USB debugging in developer options, restart the phone and laptop to get it to connect as MTP

yes i have ubuntu in a virtual box but wont have access to a device because vmware doesnt see it

Device descriptor request failed

So first of all I just want to say "it has nothing to do with preview for developers". That's first.
Back then when I was using Lumia black (8), things seem to be fine.
After updating to 8.1 using preview for developers, yeah I live it very much. But I don't know what happened to my device. I was able to sideload stuff like, you know, install paid app for free. But that was for a while. Now I'm not able to do that anymore. Whenever I connect my device to PC, it keeps on showing device decriptor request failed.
DONT SAY "TRY USING DIFFERENT CABLE OR USB SLOT". I did ask those IT guys about it, but they seem stupid (no offend). All they told me was this line I mention in DONT SAY.
I have 5cables in my house, 2laptops and 1desktop, all with Nokia sdk, with total of 15 USB slots. I tried it all and it's not working.
I wish someone in here can help me since google couldn't. Sorry for my English.
to sideload XAP files you need WP SDK 8, developer account (pay $19/year to Microsoft) and dev unlocked phone with WP SDK... work fine on my Lumia 920 with preview for developers...
Didn't I say I was able to do that? Yeah I can. But pc won't recognize my device.
Which Windows you have? Windows 8 or 8.1 x64 is recommended because WP SDK 8...

I swear to god, I have windows 8.1 64 bit, all on 2laptop and 1 desktop. All have Nokia Software Update and Nokia care suite thing. Maybe last month, or 20 days, I did side load amazing spider man 2 just fine. But today, it's not reading my phone. Again, I swear, I did not install or uninstall anything on both laptops and desktop. It just suddenly stops working. Or maybe it uninstalled itself from all 2 laptops and 1 desktop?
or maybe is hardware problem with USB connector on phone
Or an issue with the update. I was having all kinds of issues connecting to blue tooth devices after the update. A couple of hard resets and a fresh profile later and most of the kinks are worked out.
If all your computers and cords work, the only thing left is the device. It's either hardware or software, and the easiest thing to test is to put it into recovery mode and see if it detects it / can write to it.
I have the same problem but in a different scenario. I have bought a new Nokia 215. Its user manual says it can connect to a PC as a removable drive when it has a memory card in it. That's one of the reasons why I bought it in the first place.
To my utter disappointment, the same error (device descriptor failed) showed up. I tried to use google but couldn't find any useful solution. Tried other thing, eg changing cable, PC, USB slot etc but nothing worked out.
Then I connected it to a computer with linux and it worked in the first try. The memory card was accessible as a removable drive and I could easily read and write files.
I am amazed how poorly the programmers at Microsoft have been working lately that a phone made by Microsoft can't connect to a PC OS written by Microsoft.
