So, I've been fiddling with the USB drivers and I still can't get it working properly.
ADB and windows (through explorer) will constantly drop out randomly and reconnect automatically.
Most of the times I connect my device, it's detected but is not shown in 'my computer' screen (cannot access its storage).
Thus, I can't actually copy files to it (unless through wifi).
What files should I delete to start the driver installation again? I have forcefully disabled windows update and I just want the ADB terminal to work.
Possibly relevant details:
- Using temasek's CM10.2
- USB debugging is enabled
- I sometimes use UMS mode.
- Tried using several cables.
- You can assume it's a fresh windows installation.

I'm having issues with my laptop detecting attached adb devices (Thunderbolt specifically). I can get my main computer to recognize/detect an adb device. I will then disconnect my phone from my main computer and plug it into my labtop, and yet my laptop will not recognized there's an adb device attached. Regardless of the following, i still can not get it to work on my laptop: Closing CDM, disconnecting the phone from the computer, plugin the phone back then pull up cmd (or pull up cmd and then plug in phone -ive tried every common sense trick there is).
Whats going on with my laptop that will not allow it/android sdk to recognize the device? How do I fix this?
PS in case it needs to be mentioned, yes i have USB Debugging selected (thats why i am able to get the one computer to recognize it).
never mind i'm an idiot, since i manually add the script in for the USB drivers i forgot to select where to pull the drivers from in device manager. Sorry about this post, please delete it.
I have a stock Evo View running Honeycomb 3.2.1. Interestingly, neither of my computers, both mac and pc, will detect my tablet when I connect it by USB. This worked just a few weeks ago when I moved some files onto the device. The tablet charges through USB, but I do not get the notification option to use as USB storage. Within "settings > connect to pc" I've tried a number of configurations (default configuration type = disk drive, charge only) and I have also tried checking and unchecking "ask me about USB connection type whenever I connect my tablet to a PC." Nothing new happened.
Additionally, on the mac, I have the Android File Transfer app installed. When I open that i get a notification that says "No Android Device Found"
Coincidentally, I recently installed the Dropbox desktop beta for Mac which automatically detects pictures on a camera and uploads them to Dropbox. When I connected my device, Dropbox checked my device for pictures because it recognizes it as a camera. I instantly got a system error message saying that my device was not ejected properly. However, the mac never detected my device as a drive. Following that, I tried to connect to my PC and all it does is charge. My PC also does not detect my tablet as a drive. I'm thinking the new dropbox desktop client may have been the culprit for breaking my usb connection between my tablet and mac.
Has anyone else experience this problem? If not, is there a way to rebuild my usb connection between my tablet, mac, and pc?
well i would try uninstalling dropbox
Also in Settings/Applications/Development/Usb debugging should be checked.
Thanks. Appreciate the advice.
I did uninstall dropbox, on the View and on the Mac. That didn't help.
USB Debugging was checked. I can see my device in fastboot and adb. However, neither Mac nor PC will detect my tablet and allow me to mount as a hard drive.
I did a factory data reset and that worked. Both computers will recognize the View and I am receiving the notification "charge only, hard disk, htc sync, etc." again.
I wanted to break the usb connection again to confirm that it was in fact either dropbox's android beta, desktop beta, or a combination of the two. I am fairly certain that something broke the first time around because the desktop beta was able to scan my device for photos without my permission to mount the View as a hard disk. But now I'm having trouble proving this since I haven't been able to break the connection again.
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 !!!
Read my post #6, problem is solved !!! very minor point but we tend to overlook it...

Hi
Wondering how to set my new z5 in ptp mode, so i can use helium to transfer my userdata from games to new phone.
Im looking for that answer too, just bought z5c.
Hi, I just did a Helium Backup yesterday, you don't actually need the ptp connection. Go into the device manager and right click on "ADB device" (it has a yellow triangle icon on it) and reinstall driver from your pc, choosing "ADB interface". Then disconnect the device from the computer, close helium on the computer and reopen, then reconnect. The connection will establish. That was my experience, YMMV but fiddling a bit can help. I hope you succeed
The steps I did to enable PTP mode so I can use adb:
- plug the phone into the PC USD and install normal drivers
- install Helium backup app on the phone. Run Enable PTP from Helium. It will not work, but will pop an ADB unknown driver in your computers Device Manager
- Download Sony ADB drivers: http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/xperia-z5-compact-e5803-and-e5823-driver/ and then unzip
- in device manager, right click on ADB Device, Select update driver, select Search Location and point to the drivers unzipped in the step above. Make sure you include Search Subfolders. The driver will be detected and you can install it.
- In helium app, enable PTP
After this I could use ADB!
After doing this, my phone rebooted and then could not be seen by Windows. So there are no recognizable drivers for windows? Sony PC Companion re-install did not reinstate the drivers.
Anyone know how to fix?
Is there any way to access the internal storage through USB without using Huawei's HiSuite program?
I would expect standard mtp or ptp to work, but when I select those options, the only drive that shows up is the HiSuite install "cd".
Thanks in advance!
have you enabled USB debugging on your phone?
If not enable please enable it and try again
I've enabled debugging, but that doesn't change anything.
Surely I should be able to use MTP without needing to enable debugging?
ofcorse, its standart for every phone, but sometimes user dont instal drivers, so we see device, but not storage.
what pc version, mac you use?
on windows, copmuter, right click, device manager, connect phone with pc, there need to be yellow alert simbol, pres on it, instal drivers etc, ofcorse, if you instal hisuite, you shuldnt be problems to connect phone without instaling drivers, because hisuite install all needet things, but who knows, maybe for tohers not working things liek for me
Make sure the drivers are correctly installed for your phone.
In my case, an antivirus software update was causing the MTP driver to malfunction. The yellow caution icon was activated when I went to the 'Connect Phone with PC' tab in the Device Manager (Windows Explorer / This PC + right click / Manage). I opened the antivirus program and it asked me to restart the PC, which I did. After restarting the PC, I connected my phone and I was able to see it as a removable device (a.k.a. external device, a.k.a USB device) and transfer files through Windows Explorer as usual. So, basically, make sure all the Windows Updates and antivirus updates are 'updated'. Best of luck.
