Just got my dna... Never had issues with just connecting it to the computer and being able to access the storage. I can't seem to drag and drop onto this phone. Do I need htc sync installed for that to work? Can't start root process until I figure it out. Thanks.
Nothing is stupid but reading helps
Yes you need htc sync or android MTP drivers installed then it will show up as a drive when connected
Ya the MTP install keeps failing. Just Google for those drivers?
I installed the HTC drivers found in the all in one kit thread, but still failing...
I'll try htc sync. Sorry... Long day and annoyed haha
Maybe its write protected? I have issue when i want to drop files on sd but it didnt work and i jusj realzed that the paste and delete command is missing.
Or just turn off the mtp mode. Cmiiw

I'm trying to just copy over a simple text file... Only thing that shows up looks like a camera. Opened it to see my folders on internal memory. But won't let me drag over. Now doesn't show up at all. Installed sync, no luck. MTP just fails installing.
I am having zero luck...
Could it be something that I have on the computer from previous HTC phones? I've had the Inc, TB and Rez...
MTP fails every time... Can't just access storage. Installed HTC drivers from all in one root thread, installed sync... Nothing. I'm confused...
FWIW I am turning debugging off, yet as soon as I plug it in to the computer it's turning on automatically...
I've checked in cmd "adb devices" and its showing the device there.
Just checked and my rezound still connects no problem... No luck with DNA
Here is where I'm at with it...
On a separate computer, I had no issues getting everything the computer to recognize the phone and allow me to drag and drop onto it.
On the computer with issues (mine), I have all drivers installed. I can give the phone ADB commands and they work. I can reboot into bootloader and all that jazz. What I can't do tho is just access the storage. When I plug it in my computer is recognizing it as a camera. A prompt for scanner and camera wizard will pop up and if I go into My Computer it shows the phone, with a camera as the icon. I can double click it, and see all the folders and files that are on the phone. If I try to drag and drop a picture, music file or even a text file, the mouse icon changes to a circle with a line through it (no smoking sign type thing).
Only other issue with plugging it in is the MTP install keeps failing. Is that an SDK related issue? I may have an older SDK, but I think it is at least ICS related. Or is it something else altogether. The error states something is missing from the INF file or wrong with the INF file. Can't remember exactly.
I got the phone rooted and what not, I'm just trying to be able to put a few music and picture files on it at this point.
Any help I would greatly appreciate. Thank you.
This is a long shot but what USB cable are you using? Is it OEM or just one laying around? Did you try another cable?
You need to go at the MTP install failure from a Windows troubleshooting perspective instead of the HTC or android perspective.
I had this problem for a long time on my computer which was a VERY nice rig besides that issue. So finally when I got a device that needed MTP, I spent about 15 minutes on Google, made some changes in device manager and the registry, and fixed the problem completely.

I've just uncovered a problem with my USB Mass Storage mode since flashing (I THINK...) Gingeritis final 1.0. The problem is, it doesn't work! I plug my USB cable in, choose Disk Drive option, and NOTHING. I've tried mounting my SD card through CW recovery also, to no avail. I've confirmed the USB cable is good, as is the USB port.
My biggest problem now is, no matter what other ROM I flash, it still won't go into Mass Storage mode, which is presenting a huge problem when trying to sideload apps and ROM's...
I've even gone back to stock (rooted) MR1, exactly as my phone was immediately after rooting, and it's still out. I'm trying to avoid having to unroot and go back to square one to see if that fixes it. Anyone know of this issue and, more importantly, a fix for it? Thanks in advance!
Try connecting as internet pass through, wait a minute or two, and then choose the disc drive option.

Believe it or not, I actually tried that, too. I just found that it does in fact work on my laptop running Linux and Windows Vista... I'd make the suggestion that perhaps it was Windows 7 that was the problem , except that it used to work on that machine, too, before Gingeritis, but now I can't get it to work on the Win7 machine for anything! Go figure....
Thanks for your input though!

Hey all,
My roommate recently bought a Galaxy Tablet 10.1 and it just now wont connect to the computer.
When the device is plugged into the computer (we tried both a mac and a pc with updated kies mini installed on both) and the tablet says USB is connected, but it doesn't show up on the pc.
Any ideas?
We had it connected earlier in the day, and know it won't work. I'm puzzled.
I've got an infuse, but i've never had anything like this happen before.
Try going into settings> applications> development and tick or un-tick usb debugging. Might have to try both settings plugging and unplugging from the computer to finally get it to come up. Give it a couple minutes between each to be sure its going to see it or not.
This has worked for me in the past when something changes and I don't know what. Also re-installing the drivers on the computer has helped before for some reason. I'm using Windows7 so YMMV.
Let us know what helps.

Are you stating it's not showing up as a storage drive in Windows when using USB, or are you stating KIES cannot see the tablet (or both)? If Kies, welcome to the club - you are far from alone. I know of no known solution (that topic has been beaten to death on all forums). Togling the USB dedub option may help with respect to Windows seeing it as a storage drive (try another USB port, too), but with respect to Kies, if you find a solution (that you can duplicate) please share. The only way I've ever been able to get Kies to work twice on the same computer was to reset the tablet back to factory defaults - at which point, I can connect VIA Kies one more time, then back to square one.
Good luck!

Kies see's the device, but wont connect. Windows doesn't see if as a USB device.
We tried toggling the USB Debugging switch to no avail.
On my infuse when i plug it into my laptop i have to go to the notification window, click on the usb connected notification, and then select mass storage mode.
We get the notification on the tab, but when i click on it nothing happens...

nothing is supposed to happen. it uses MTP not mass storage. On your laptop, go to "Computer"...it should be there under a portable media device.
if that doesn't work....make sure USB debugging is UNCHECKED...it will NOT work with it checked.
If all that doesn't work..try another USB port
I believe the issue is on a windows machine it usually pops up a box where you can select what you want to do. Such as open folder to view files, etc... and this isn't happening. Probably wrong in my thinking but who knows.

Ezcats Re: Nothing should happen.
This is not entirely accurate. My experience parallels Benzoman's statement. Each and everytime I connect my 10.1 4G (GT-7500D), Windows does indeed open a box asking what I'd like to do with it. It does show up under Computer as a device, and I can readily access it to copy files (however, Kies won't connect... Kies recognized that fact that I plugged it in, and attempts to connect, but never does - again, unless I reset it to factory in which case Kies not only finds it, but will connect to it - once).

I'm specifically using a Macbook Pro i& quad-core with a SSD and running OS X 10.9 Mavericks... I never had these issues with my Verizon OG HTC One 32GB... But since picking up a Verizon HTC One Max 32GB Android File Transfer refuses to work and for the life of me I can't figure out why.. If I just plug it in nothing happens unless I manually launch AFT and then I receive a message that says please connect your android device with a usb cable. If I plug it in and restart the phone it picks it up but then says can not connect to device... It's extremely annoying because I'm working on some ROMs for it and I have to constantly ADB push everything....... Not that big of deal but I'd still like to be able to mount my storage where everything is visible and can add/remove as I please.... Any suggestions would be great, thanks guys!!

Reinstall drivers, not a mac user so idk if you need the fastboot or adb files from sdk. But if you do, reinstall those exe files

Did you look at what the usb phone setting is on. I know there are extra ones like modem or something or other that could prevent transfer.
I am having similar issues, the mtp file transfer mode seems to borked. I can get files from phone but not send em. I've been mounting my external sd as drive then moving the files using root explorer.
Of course.. It always shows that MTP mode is enabled but does nothing when you tap it, and also shows usb is connected on the phone but when taping that it brings up only options for internet passthrough and sharing etc...

Could be the USB 3.0 intermittent issue. Try a powered hub that is USB 2.0 as if your notebook is new enough most likely the USB ports are all 3.0.
Just saying.
I just got a brand new Dell XPS 15" and whenever i plug my M8 (Root, Venom ROM), it keeps disconnecting from the pc as if someone is pressing a button to connect/disconnect. The windows file explorer shows the device and then the device is gone, it shows and then gone ...
I tried testing the USB ports and plugged in an external HDD and i was able to copy 159G of data without any interruption.
I have installed Google USB Drivers and then HTC Drivers (via HTC Sync Manager) and still no success.
Any idea ?

Check windows device drivers when phone is plugged in and make sure no items show up as nonworking related to HTC phone (yellow exclamation points). Make sure that in the HTC notification bar, after its been plugged in that you have an option to "authorize" HTC phone to communicate with computer. Check you USB connection mode on HTC device while plugged into computer - try toggling the setting back and forth. Lastly uninstall HTC drivers while plugged in to computer and reboot computer and let it install drivers.
Hopefully, following those steps in order, at one point you have have a successful connection.
If it still fails definetly try a different cable. Not all cables are the same, what works for one device, especially an older cable may not have the proper wiring for the HTC one - suggest using the cable that comes with the HTC one, if available.

Same problem with my m8.
not a pc problem.. Tried on various laptops.. Other phones connect through the same usb cable without any problem.
so definitely a problem in phone.
btw mine is m8 stock rooted!
I'm not sure how the problem is "definitely" a M8 phone problem with the data points you supplied. One thing I see is the mention of same USB cable works with other phones - but as previously pointed out in this thread, not all cables are the same, and what works on one phone, may not work on another

It is not a phone problem. This has been talked about over and over in the forums. It is a Win 8 problem. Everything works fine if you use a Win 7 machine, or as I have found out the Win 10 Tech Preview works too. I have a spare laptop here with that installed and guess what, no problems. The main machine I am using now is Win 8.1 and I can't do jack with HTC. Other phones are fine, but this one always is a problem so I use the spare laptop.
Many of the issues on win 8.x boils down to Microsoft's own USB 3.0 drivers that are installed as compared to Intel's drivers. I've replaced my ms drivers with Intel drivers for my chip set a year ago and never had a problem on my USB 3.0 only laptop since that time. Newer chipsets don't have this problem and the chipsets that do are difficult to install - but worth it if you do a lot of phone/adb tinkering like us folks here on XDA.

USB3 or 2? What type of chipset? How do the drivers show up in device manager (Microsoft, Intel, other?) maybe I can help point in the right direction...
okay i ordered a brand new cable and still the same issue. now the only thing which is left to be checked is my drivers, gotta figure out my chipset drivers.
P.S: I have already treid it using htc one m8 manager (which installs usb drivers) and it didn't help me out.

Is your computer USB 3.0 only? If so is it an Intel chipset for USB drivers? You can check in device manager. If Intel USB chipset are the drivers provided by Intel or Microsoft (look at properties for the drivers to tell).
Also did u follow my suggestions from a month or so ago?

Hey @tommy_riley, i tried whatever you suggested.
1. The device manager does show a usb android phone with exclamation sign. But it disapears right away (since the phone constantly switch and disconnect). See attached screen shot
2. I don't see any "authroize" option in htc notification bar neither i could change the htc usb mode option. I don't know where that option is in HTC One M8. Tried searching but didn't help
3. I don't have HTC Drivers installed since i just did pc-restore. so its a fresh copy of windows.
Looks like you need the HTC drivers for your phone if they are not installing automatically but could be other things.
Now that PC is restored, I'd suggest installing HTC sync manager while device is unplugged and plug it in if I prompted during install. If it installs the proper drivers you should get a prompt on your phone to authorize communication.
Make sure you are logged in as administrator when installing HTC sync manager and maybe even install it with right click>run as administrator.

Tried each option one by one. Every option stated that the connection has been changed to the said setting but the device connectivity with the PC remained the same.
However, when i tried "Internet Pass Through" option, I got the error that either the sync manager is out-of-date or pc is already using something else.
There is one more thing I want to let you guys know that I am using ViperM8 ROM and my phone is rooted.

Not sure about laptop USB debug, but what about the debug option in your phone? Is that turned on? If not, do it (instructions are around here on how to unlock developer mode, I can't locate at the moment - tap build number several times I believe).
Also, might want to try these drivers instead, see if they make a difference:
"Universal ADB driver" - i'm not sure if the download link at the following URL is totally legit, so take a look around just to be sure.
http://adbdriver.com/downloads/
While phone is plugged in, uninstall the HTC drivers from computer device manager, then install the drivers in the link above.
Got nothing to loose at this point so...
I run Stock ROM so I'm not sure about computer connection issues with viper (if any) so I may be out of options for you after that.
Hey guys.
I'm hoping you can shed a little light here as i'm starting to get frustrated.. Now i've seen various similar threads along the same lines so it's obviously a common problem and anyone who's offered a suggestion to the fix on other threads, i've tried to no avail..
I've had a DHD prior to this and done the whole rooting/ROM'ing thing regularly so quite used to procedures and what to do, but that was slightly different as i did it via the advanced hack kit.. This phone doesn't seem as straightforward to do. But about 3 weeks ago i bit the bullet and unlocked my phone with the intention of rooting and ROM'ing soon after.. Everything went well and the phone has been working perfectly, no issues at all and i've activated the developer option aswell and it's USB debugged box is ticked...
However, a couple of days ago i tried plugging it in to the laptop to transfer some music onto it, but both the two USB 2.0 ports on the right don't recognise it, i get the USB device not recognised message, anything else works fine in them, the only remaining port, a USB 3.0 on the left sees the phone and does allow me to access it, sometimes i can see everything straight away, sometimes i get a blank box and have to wait and the green bar takes ages to load along the bar at the top.. I've even had what appeared to be arabic symbols at one point where it should say Internal storage.. That confused me very much!! But now it won't let me transfer anything other than a single image file to the root. I did this as a test.. It transferred it straight away with no problems, but if i try adding anything else after that, it just hangs on the copying dialog box and either i have to close it or it does it for me a couple of minutes later with the "can't copy file" and "skip this file" options.. I've also tried it on the home computer which works fine but still leaves me with the same problem. Both are Win7 64bit.
I've uninstalled everything HTC from my laptop, uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers supplied in the fastboot folder which i was told to download for the unlocking process.. Now, i don't want to have to download HTC Sync as i don't want to access my phone via that, i'd rather just use file explorer and ditch the bloatware.. I'm not sure if i'm running the correct drivers and this is the problem, but i can't seem to find them anywhere.. P.S. I'm in the UK so this is the international version..
Any help would be great as i'm tearing my hair out... I know it's probably something simple but it's refusing to work..
Hey i hope this helps

Olrite so i guess you are dealing with the same i dealt with a while ago when i was on cayanogen mod 11 on my HTC one M7 International ... there are many alternatives to transfer stuff from phone to Laptop but first lets talk about the normal one
Method 1 which you should try is ....
* Download the HTC sync manager .. its ok if you dont wanna use it to transfer data .. just install it ...
* ok so now the important one .. make sure you have window media player installed on your computer ....
okay so why windows media player ??
Well it contains all the MTP drivers you need to connect your phone to your pc ...
* you can restart your system now .. (Optional)
* now connect your device with debugging on ... grab the notification bar click on USB related notification .. and choose MTP or something like that ...i mean don't choose HTC sync manger .. choose the other one
* Now if everything went well you will se your storage in My computer ... and in Windows media player too...
Method 2....
Well if nothing works then download an app called Air Droid ...
it have some nice functionality ...
you will get to know how to use it after installing it ...
by chance if the local link given in the app does not works make a hotspot .. connect your computer to it and open a browser like chrome .. and go to 192.168.1.1:8888
Note : port 8888 is pre configured in the app so if you changed it .. use the dirrent port you used ..
If you are not laptop is not connected with your phone's hotspot then your phone and computer should be on the same network ..

Olrite so i guess you are dealing with the same i dealt with a while ago when i was on cayanogen mod 11 on my HTC one M7 International ... there are many alternatives to transfer stuff from phone to Laptop but first lets talk about the normal one
Method 1 which you should try is ....
* Download the HTC sync manager .. its ok if you dont wanna use it to transfer data .. just install it ...
* ok so now the important one .. make sure you have window media player installed on your computer ....
okay so why windows media player ??
Well it contains all the MTP drivers you need to connect your phone to your pc ...
* you can restart your system now .. (Optional)
* now connect your device with debugging on ... grab the notification bar click on USB related notification .. and choose MTP or something like that ...i mean don't choose HTC sync manger .. choose the other one
* Now if everything went well you will se your storage in My computer ... and in Windows media player too...
Method 2....
Well if nothing works then download an app called Air Droid ...
it have some nice functionality ...
you will get to know how to use it after installing it ...
by chance if the local link given in the app does not works make a hotspot .. connect your computer to it and open a browser like chrome .. and go to 192.168.1.1:8888
Note : port 8888 is pre configured in the app so if you changed it .. use the dirrent port you used ..
If you are not laptop is not connected with your phone's hotspot then your phone and computer should be on the same network ..
Good luck ... hit thanks if it works just to let me know

Firstly, thank you for taking the time to run through the options.. I really appreciate that.. Unfortunately it seems nothing in terms of transfer via USB works (at least with this cable, it's the only one i have so can't try another at this point) on this phone anymore, i don't know why the sudden glitches, it's been working fine since i've had it but just decided to stop connecting this last couple of days, so whether that's down to drivers or the cable being dodgy etc i have no idea, but the Air droid app works beautifully and i can now transfer anything and everything, it has such a great UI too so thank you for pointing me in the direction of that.. Without it, and you, i'd still be stuck.. So i guess i no longer need to worry about cables or drivers anymore so thanks again!
