Hello, so this morning I was looking to transfer some files from my Sprint LG G3 to my PC. I couldn't get the computer to recognize the phone so I attempted to change to 'PTP' under USB options and revert back to Media Device/MTP, hoping it will work. However it didn't, and to make matters worse, I can't select the MTP option eventhough the it show under USB Options - everytime I select MTP it reverts back to either 'PTP' or 'Charge Phone'. The PC does recognize the phone as a camera/PTP and charges the phone but I can't get it work as a media device. I have tried uninstalling/installing the unified G3 drivers and toggled USB debugging on/off but it still not working. I have read somewhere that installing LG PC Suite does solve the issue (instead of the mobile drivers only) but I am not sure it does. Please help guys.

Try wiping cache in recovery and if that does not work.... Reinstall the ROM it could just be something went wrong along the way and it glitched..... You can also try shortcut master just search for "MTP" or "mtp" and try to find a shortcut that would enable it. Also try running *#*#4636#*#* in your dialer. It will make all of your carrier files and stuff like that update running that usually fixes a ton of problems.

I tried wiping my cache in recovery, running the code *#*#4636#*#* and searching for 'MTP/mtp' using shortcut master but all attempts were unsuccessful. I am using Stock ZV4 but I have TWRP installed so I can backup and try factory resetting but I am not confident that would help. I am also saving that as a last resort so If anyone suggests other fixes please help.

Do you have usb debugging enabled? Sometimes that causes it to not work for me, other times it works fine with it enabled.
Edit nevermind, I see you said you have tried it.
##3424# is diag mode enabled?

Try booting into recovery
Also, have you tried a different usb port on your computer? It will reinstall the drivers each time you change ports. Also, you should be able to select MTP without being plugged into the computer by going to storage in settings, and in the menu should be the pc connection settings. Does it do the same thing when not plugged into the computer?

Edit: I just tried a few different ways, DIAG mode enabled, USB Debugging enabled, each work, and at the same time, for me.
Below is the LG Drivers i have installed right now.
LGUnitedMobileDriver_S51MAN313AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.13.2.exehttp://tool.xcdn.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=UW00120120425
So I have tried per your suggestion - tries disabling DIAG mode and (again) tried switching USB debugging off - no change. I have also tried different USB ports and different computers too. Surprisingly I couldn't find 'PC Connections setting' under storage in settings. Also tried looking under security and developer options. The only way I can try switching to MTP is when I plug the phone into a PC and a 'USB Options' menu appears in the notification bar. I am starting to think the Issue is with the phone and not the PC"s. I will try installing the drivers you suggested though.
I have the same problem on my Nexus 6, OP are you solved the problem?
This problem was already resolved in another thread and the resolution was to... I know its going to sound so stupid but to select mtp AGAIN lol..
If you have Clean master Uninstall it, Or just remove permissions from it , It'll work

After I OTA'd the phone, I wanted to do something in QPST, so I hooked up the phone in diag mode (Debugging active and Dial Up Networking). The phone connected in diagnostic mode, but connected to a different port than before I had OTA'd it, and QPST wouldn't connect or recognize it anymore. Oddly, CDMA Workshop would connect, but still wouldn't read it.
Seeing as how the port it connected to was com port 8, I changed it to a lower port number (port number 2), because I had heard CDMA Workshop sometimes has issues with anything above port 6. Still no luck.
The weird thing is that the port I was using it on before I OTA'd (port 3) claimed it was still in use. In a last ditch attempt to get it working, I connected to port 3 anyway, and still had no luck.
Anyone have any ideas?
Please I need a solution.

I was once told that *22899 was the same as *228, option 1 which reprograms the phone radio settings but when I did it yesterday it said it was in activation mode & the lock p/w was set. I rebooted & reran 228, option 1 cause I thought I had hosed it up & thats where my qpst trouble began.

My prob. is when I plug it in to qpst it finds the com port but on the com port its says no phone.
Now I realized that its not limited to qpst, when I try to One-Click root it says Error Device Not Connected, Even when im on debug mode. So it seems to be a general usb prob. : /. This needs to be fixed.
This could have something with the ota causing mass storage to show up as a cdrom. Borked usb drivers in the ota it seems.
The only thing is I didn't update from the ota, I used Adrynalyne's modem, rom & kernel which he deodexed, debloated & rooted. Because of his work, I never had the cdrom problem & still don't; I can mount it as usb mass storage just like on di01. It's just that qpst won't see it, but everything else does.
update: Problem solved. Blade765 in the dev forum suggested booting the phone up while connected by usb with qpst open & it worked. As soon as it booted fully, qpst saw it & I was in. Oddly enough, the only value that was reset to the [email protected] and disabled was the #1 setting. The #0 setting was still enabled and still set to @vzw (no dun). Hope this helps...

Great to know your fixed. Ill try this after work. Can you please explain to me what is a dun file, as I am a newbie.
.dun is stands for dial up networking and it is the value that directs your connection to the billing pipeline. So the goal is to change the first two entries in the service programming mode from "[email protected]" to "[email protected]" in order to keep your connection in the unlimited smartphone data pipeline which you're already paying for.

Well. Unfortunately it seems we have dif. problems because that solution does not work : (.
Can you try a different cable? Many othe micro usb cables are compatible.

Yea, Qpst worked before. Its just at one point it just stopped connecting. Ive tried three cables, same problem. Ive tried running qpst, and restarting the phone with the usb in, still doesnt help. I just dont understand. Same with the one-click root software. It worked before, but now it wont let me root, as it says my device is not connected.
Solution for this issue. Running out of options.
I have a Verizon fascinate,
hardware version i500.04,
firmware 2.1 update1,
build sch-i500.di01 ( i tried this with dl09 as well ).
When I check the box to see unknown qpst will see the ports but it will not see a phone on it. I have also searched a variety of different forums and have found other people with this issue but no resolutions other then to start with usb connected. Diagnostic mode is enabled and so is usb debugging. I have tried a variety of different combinations of settings with no luck.
Is there another solution for this issue other then booting with qpst and usb cable. Currently I have tried qpst with the following.
1: installing Samsung_Mobile_USB_Driver_V1.3.550.0_SCH-i500_Fascinate and rebooting.
2: installing SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_x86.msi and rebooting
3: removing com ports and modem and reinstalling in every way i know how to.
4: used odin to flash back to dl01
5: Taken this to a fresh computer and installed only the fascinate drivers and qpst with no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does rebooting the phone with QPST on help? It doesn't for me. Im on the verge of giving up.
I know this may sound stupid but do you have debugging on and dial up networking checked? Sorry if this is painfully obvious but I've found that most most of my troubles have come from details that I might've missed. Also, the reboot with the usb connected & qpst on is what did the trick for me.

Are you saying to disable those or make sure their enabled. I'm looking into performing the steps to get the work around for free mobile hotspots myself. Still doing a lot of reading as I'm new to Modding my phone but have learned a lot in the few days I've been teaching myself and was amazed at how easy a lot of this is especially with great guides on these forums and others.

Morning all.
As of yesterday, my S2 won't connect to any pc in mass storage mode.
At first it connected as it should, but after about 5 minutes - before I'd transferred anything - I got a message that windows couldn't recognise the device/driver installation unsuccessful.
Since then I get this message immediately, have tried 4 different pcs.
Would seem the USB drivers are FUBAR somehow, but MTP via Kies works, as does Odin.
I've tried a full factory reset/reinstall, previous backups - stock and custom - removed, reinstalled and updated Kies, cleaned the USB port on the phone - nothing doing. Have tried stock kernels, Siyah, Nimphetamine - nothing. Currently on XWKL1, custom ROM (krinyo's SlimROM) with Siyah 2.6.3+
Also tried uninstalling various USB ports on my home pc, but stopped when I discovered it was the same on all pcs.
It's not the end of the world - I have bluetooth and my microSD - but it's a PITA and I'm out of ideas.
Many thanks for any help/suggestions.

Yes, forgot to add that, sorry. Tried with and without, no difference.
Tried changing the usb cable?
From another post
Dear All
Following are my observations and possible steps to
1. When the phone is upgraded to Android 2.3.4 and above (mine is 2.3.6) Kies stops recognizing the phones and USB connection / Serial port connections etc get reset on the phone
2. Even if proper drivers are there on the laptop (mine is Windows 7 64bit) they are not recognized
3. Device Manager shows "unknown device"
4. Updating the driver also does not result in any help
5. solution lies in the phone
a. key in the dialer *#7284#
b. it has 4 option there..
UART (MODEM/PDA)
USB (MODEM/PDA)
c. For USB. select the PDA.if it already selected to PDA. reselect it by select MODEM and then PDA again.. Only change the USB setting.. andthen press back. try reconnect (thanks to napi1 @ androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s2-international/447145-sgs2-kies-not-syncing-os-2-3-5-a.html#post3484588)
6. The Laptop will start recognizing the required drivers and install them

Bugger me, it was the cable....
Bought a new S2 yesterday - nice to have a backup, and the Nexus is meh - and tried the new cable on old S2, everything fine. Old cable on new S2, no good for USB but fine for Kies and Odin as mentioned before.
No idea why it should be like this, but sh*t happens. Easiest solution is often the best!
same problem happened to me too
I have the exact same problem, tried everything like OP, even new cable still same issue...any ideas?

Hey
In Android, when you plug in via USB your phone to your PC, in the notification bar, a option is given to show the device as a USB drive. I dont get that option any more and I dont see anywhere to enable it or select it.
How can I do this?
This might be stupid question, but did you try to restart phone and pc?

Yes.
Maybe there is a app for Android to launch itself into storage mode, thinking a USB cable is connected to it and at the same time a PC? Its just strange.
Ive also tried with other USB cables still nothing.

Also in recovery, as you know, there is a option to enable USB storage which also makes your phone's SD card be viewable in explorer. That doesnt work either.
Im starting to think it is a kernel problem.

Why don't you try what he said, just do this steps.
go to Settings > Applications > Development > find the USB Debugging Mode over there and check whether it is enabled or not.
USB Debugging Mode can be used to copy data between your computer and your device, install applications on your device without notification.
and of course, without java installed on your PC Desktop or Laptop, connectivity between your android phone and PC would create some problems, be sure to update your Java if you have already installed.
And to clarify the issue of fast charger mode. I think it's not related to your problem since you cannot understand what fast charger mode and how to do it in the first place, am I right?. There's a procedure on how to do a fast charger mod and if you want a proof, visit this link which can be found here in XDA, Charger mod, how to USB fast charge.
Hope it helps

Usb debuggin is enabled. I've tried plugging it enabled/disabled and nothing. And again this also happens in recovery.
More tips? Thank you anyways
Anyone else? I mean the only thing left is to reflash but the strange thing is it not woring in recovery
More suggestions???
Hi all,
So I have searched the forums and used to google to a solution but to no avail.
When I plug my new s4 into my laptop it recognises the device but doesnt not come up on windows explorer. The phone also does not give me the option to change from camera mode to usb mode etc like my nexus does.
I have installed all the latest drivers and even tried kies 2.0 which says it is not compatible with this device.
The s4 rootkit detects the phone and allows me to make a backup so the connection is there.
I think it may have been a setting I changed when I was unlocking the phone by going into the debug menu?
I have also tried toggling usb debug etc from developer mode. I have restarted the phone several times and my laptop and tried it on different laptops so I am sure it is an issue with the phone settings.
Thanks to all in advance.
Running windows 7 and s4 on 4.2.2
I found a solution for anyone who has a similiar problem.
One the phone pad type *#7284#
go to qualcomm options and mine was a weird selection. I changed it to MTP and ADB and it works fine now
This is just a suggestion, samsung drivers and keis do not get along very well, disable keis and try again, it will show up.
Ok, so I found a few older threads on this, but no tips in them seem to work in my case. I can't seem to get my S4 to see the PC/USB connection and prompt to select Media Device or the like. The USB icon never even appears in the notification bar. The PC recognizes connection (USB tone sounds) and shows device ready to use, but phone never gives the option. Doesn't seem to matter if USB Debugging is checked or not, or anything else that I can find so far. Here's the things I can generally eliminate:
2 different USB cables worked on wife's S4 on two different PCs. Neither cable or PC worked with my S4
Tried reinstalling Samsung USB drivers just to be sure
Cold booted phone
Tried unchecking and re-checking USB debugging (also tried with it unchecked)
So when we take in working fine on wife's S4, I'd generally guess that we can eliminate cable and PC from the potential problem list. Phone is currently on stock rom, but rooted. Outside of that and freezing VZ Support, Knox, and VZ Tones, no other modifications to the OS. At this point, I'm pretty stumped. Any suggestions on other steps to try?
The problem is your USB settings in the hidden dialers. Look for tutorials on how to enable them, and once found, type *#0808#, and a list of usb otions will come up. Pick any with MTP and they'll work again.
Worked perfect. Thanks muchly!

Try installing/reinstalling Kies, it comes bundled with all the samsung drivers you'll need
Tried that. Twice. To no avail.
But it is no longer a problem. I installed eclipse rom and it now works again.
Who knows what went wrong...
And now it's not working again. Reinstalled (dirty) the ROM without any change. Thoughts?
