I am having issues connecting my phone to Win7 PC. None of the modes (MTP, PTP, etc.) seem to work. I get a pop up saying that my phone is connected as 'CD Drive LGE Mobile' with option to Open folder to view files with Windows Explorer. When I do that I see some files, but not my SD/ External SD cards. I also get a pop out saying it is trying to install MTP USB Device or LGE Android Net MTP device, but both Fail.
I tried diffrerent cables and USB ports on 2 laptops (Win7 64-bit), uninstall-reinstall LG drivers, various combinations of USB Debugging - nothing works.
I am running Base 0.73.
Any suggestions?
Re: [Q] Win7 MTP Connection Problem
When it pops up on your phone saying "Autorun is running to check USB driver" hit skip. Then wait a bit (up to 20 seconds or so) and it should appear on your computer.
That works for me on win7

Is it in MTP mode?
Did not work for me..
Re: [Q] Win7 MTP Connection Problem
Yeah in mtp mode. Is the LG driver currently installed?

Yeah, I have the drivers installed. I actually figured it out. I have a 'Rescan media Root' installed and Media Scanner disabled, as a battery saving measure. Once I enabled media scanner, everything worked... Apparently phone will not mount without media scanner enabled.

With the new ICS firmware (and I don't know if its all ICS) you need to turn off debug in order to use Mass Storage.
Is there any application or other way around this? It gets a little annoying to always have to do this.
Titanium backup needs debugging on for some of my apps and if not using mass storage mode the phone connects via MTP mode which is very slow
I would willingly pay for an app/widget that does the following
Once pressed turns off debug and asks you to plug in USB for mass storage.
Prior to disconnecting the USB cable you select to disconnect which then un-mounts the storage and then turns back on debug
figure should be easy to make for some dev out there
Anyone have an idea on this?
Guess no one out there has an idea
Hmm, for me the only difference running ICS and checking or unchecking dev option/USB debugging is whether or not I can manually unmount the phone in Windows, it always connects as a media device and I have no otion to turn that off.
Mediamonkey takes forever when my phone is connected as MTP (say 15 minutes to build the sync list?), and the only real option to use it to send fresh music to my phone WAS connecting it as mass storage (15 SECONDS for the sync list).
So I would really really appreciate any hints on how to get my S2 to connect as mass storage. It's the official ROM rooted using Chainfires respective kernel.

Or at least an app that selects and deselects the option automatically as I mention above.
Sure a dev somewhere can make lots of money for an app like this

Thanks for the info but I already knew this.Also you didnt need all these steps in gingerbread and previous software versions.
Also for people using USB debug this must be turned off before being able o do all of the above.
Im just saying an app can be made that does all of this with one click
Well, get onboard here, test and say if it works.
I have USB Debugging always on and I am currently running LP7 version of ICS.
When I plug in the the phone I get the Media Device (MTP) coming up on the phone - which is ticked.
In Windows Explorer (Windows XP) just below Control Panel (in the folders window) is a +GT-I9100. Clicking on the + I see a subfolder +Phone The items in this folder are the Internal SD of the phone.
From this I just drag and drop. I haven't noticed any difference in speed between this new way and the old method in Gingerbread.

Try transferring a large file you will see the difference between transfer speeds in MTP mode and mass storage.
Also with MTP you can only do one thing at a time. For example let's say you are transferring files. While doing that you want to erase something else. It will wait for the original transfer to finish prior to starting

But will this work even with debug on?
Yes. As mentioned in the linked post:
- connect cable
- classic "usb connected" notification appears in notification bar with option to do usb mount
- adb available.
Doesn't like my Mac either
When connecting my galaxy s2, I get the attached error.

MTP wont even work properly on my Windows 7 machine. It refuses to update the explorer process as long as the phone is plugged in. So navigating the phone means a lot of plugging and unplugging to get anything out of it.
Changing to UMS means my 2 devices (Internal SD and External SD) are visisble right away, but sadly are not displayed with any storage bars underneath . As a result I can't access them anyway and the second my phone goes to standby it stops the "process".
So any help or hints how to get my damned phone to actually work and show the storage bars underneath is most welcomed.
So here is the deal - earlier I could connect my SGS2 to PC with USB Debbuging turned on, and nothing poped up and I could use storage and sd card on PC and at the same time on the phone, like open it with some file explorer, and install apps when still connected to PC... Sound awesome, because now there is this - When I am in USB debbuging and connected to PC, it cant find storages, so I have to disable debugging, and there pops up this USB Mass Storage when i connect the cable. When it is connected to PC, I cant access files on the phone in that moment.... So what is wrong??
Will be pleased for all suggestions..
Thanks

When you connect to computer, dont do it in Debugging mode. If you change it windows (forcing MTP) dont like that. So it will require you to remove phone and reboot. But try the following also
delete all old drivers and remove them in registry. (if needed check the below link)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882942
Still not working go to device manger "type it in start"
Go to View
Select Hidden Driver
Go To Non_Plug and Play Drivers
Right Click on Hardware Policy Driver
Go To Driver Tab,
Stop this device
and Disable it
Restart Windows ( unplug phone first, disable network card also)
Disable WiFi or network card, (double tap)
Plug in Phone
Allow windows to load the drivers on your phone.
(don't stop this at all)
Look for phone.
Later you can add updated drivers if you would like. Remember windows keeps all old drivers, even if its jacked up. PnP will still run.
This works on Vista and above. haven't tested it on XP.
IMPORTANT
U must re-enable the change to the device manager after this, or each time you reboot it will reload the drivers.
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
I have installed the 10.1.3 Cyanogenmod Rom on my Nook Tablet, and everything was working normally. Specifically, I could connect it to my Winodws XP system via USB and transfer data via MTP. I wanted to repartition the internal storage from the 11 and 1 GB shared. The process required installed ABD, and I didn't understand at first that this processes required ADB access in recovery mode. I was able to repartition the device the way I wanted and reinstall everything, however, afterwards I could no long access this device over USB as an MTP device, or a PTP device, or a USB device. I think this is probably a driver problem, but I don't know what to do to fix it.
I'm using Windows XP SP3, I have Windows Media Player 11.
When I have My Nook set as an MTP device, the system looks like it is installing an MTP drive, but does not complete. The Entry in device manager only describes is as an "MTP Device" but that there is no driver installed, and keeps prompting in the system tray that it is installing an "MTP Device" driver over and over again.
If PTP is selected, is shows as a USB still camera, but I cannot access any thing on it, and in USB mode I just have a USB device in device manager with an "!" on it.
Any suggestion on how I can get the correct drivers reinstalled?
Thank
For me Unfortunately, MTP application has stopped problem is solved !!!

My phone is not recognized by either my home or work pcs. I've googled and did the basics - enabled usb debugging, preferences set to file transfer. I've never had this problem with a phone before.
It will connect to a usb stick via adaptor so I can transfer files with a multi-step process. This is a pain.

That's strange, either your port is damaged or you don't have drivers installed. I've heard if this happening on Windows 11, never had a problem on Linux

Do you have the latest USB drivers installed?
Get the Google USB Driver | Android Studio | Android Developers
The Google USB Driver is required to perform adb debugging on Windows with Google devices.
developer.android.com
The drivers are installed. My home pc is what I used to unlock/root the phone.
When I look at Show Hidden Icons -> Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media, there is an option to remove Pixel 6. Yet it doesn't display under File Explorer or XYplorer.
If I start up my Arch (linux) vm with VMware Workstation Pro under Removeable Devices there is an entry for Google Pixel 6 with the option to Connect (Disconnect from Host). The contents can be under Arch.
Have you tried different cables & different ports? Sometimes the cable is the problem for me.
Different cables/ports had no effect.
I've got the same issue, what's weird is I can move files with ADB but can't in Windows.
If you figure anything out please hit this back up?
First make sure you have a good usb cable.
Some cables are only made for charging.
Second install the USB drivers from Google.
If you can transfer files, but can not use ADB/Fastboot, then it is a driver issue.

Cables/drivers are good. ADB/fastboot work fine it's the transferring of file/recognision of device in windows explorer that is the issue.

Switching from charging mode to file transfer mode in the Connected devices/USB menu should give you access to Android's internal storage from Windows. USB debugging or other Dev options aren't necessary.
I had this same problem. Connecting to pc would show connection options but they were all greyed out and the phone would only charge. I couldn't find any option in the standard settings to change this.
Eventually I found 'default usb configuration' in dev options. Default was set to 'charge only'. You can sort it from there.
edit to add: although re-reading op you may have tried this already.
I solved mine by setting to PTP mode then the PC started to recognize the phone connected

It's the stupid Windows drivers. There is an .inf file you need to either edit or delete but I forgot which. Might be wpdmtp.inf in the windows directory, right click and install. You might have to uninstall the driver in device manager first, the one with the exclamation mark if it's there. Sorry it's been about 3 or 4 years since I have done this but it's most likely a driver issue.

I agree about drivers, that they're either corrupted or incomplete. What's going on in Windows Device Manager when the phone is in a certain state?
During normal operation I assume the general purpose driver is always visible.
Device Manager > Portable Devices > Pixel 6
In fastboot mode with USB debugging enabled, is this driver showing up?
Device Manager > Android Device > Android Bootloader Interface
While Android is running with USB debugging enabled, do you see an ADB driver (the daemon may need to be started)?
Device Manager > Android Device > Android Composite ADB Interface
