Anybody else got problems with connecting to the PC with the USB cable?
What "problems" are you having?
The Windows Explorer does not start, though there is the sound when connecting the USB. Tried uninstalling the driver and letting the system reinstall upon connecting, but still cannot see Nexus 9 in Windows explorer. In Linux get the the notification and clicking on the "open with File Manager" gives a quick error message - too quick to read. So I am wondering if anyone got this problem??

Same here
I updated my SDK files, but that didn't seem to work either. It does show up as a camera when I change from MTP, so I just started sideloading apps, files, and books to the picture folder, then using a file explorer to move them to the correct folder.
+chuckie59 So I am not alone with this problem! Have used AirDroid to copy things over.

Mine was able to be detected at my work computer (windows 2000 in MTP mode), but it shows up as "Android" in Explorer instead of a drive letter like I'm used to with my phone.
Same for me. Only ptp working. Google USB ADB drivers instaled

You'll never get it to show up as a driver letter. Android gave up on mass storage a couple of versions ago.

If you are on W8.1 then you may have the "ACER Composite ADB Interface" - A Microsoft upgrade fault.
A search for "ACER Composite ADB Interface remove error delete" should give plenty of hits. Here's the first post from http://forums.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-7-tablet-2012/362325-nexus-7-not-recognized-computer-2.html :
Would you happen to know if any Acer drivers are installed on your computer? Here recently there was a Windows Update that installed the wrong driver and made it so that I had the exact same problems as you're having. Here's how I fixed it.
Go To> Control Panel>Hardware and Devices>Device Manager. In Device manager look for something along the lines of "ACER Composite ADB Interface", at least in my case I had the wrong ADB interface installed. You'll know if you have the wrong drivers if you go to Devices and Printers and right click your Nexus 7 and go to it's properties. It should be under the hardware tab where it lists it. If it doesn't just say Nexus 7 then follow these instructions. Once you find it in the Device Manager (once again in my case it was the ACER Composite ADB Interface causing the issue) right click and and uninstall it. There should be a dialogue box that pops up right after which will ask you if you want to delete the drivers. Check this box and proceed with the uninstall. After successfully uninstalling the drivers plug in or unlplug and plug back in your Nexus 7. It should show up now with the correct drivers installed.
Thanks, but I am on Windows 7. Driver is ClockworkMod Ver 7.0.0.1 dated 2012-08-27, which Windows reports as up to date (?). Works for PTP but not MTP.
I have had problems with other devices including the nexus 5 and nexus 10 to connect over mtp. Previously i used the nexus root toolkit which has some wizard to guide you to install proper drivers for mtp and adb. The toolkit is yet to support nexus 9 but you can still use the wizard to uninstall the old drivers and reinstall correct ones
Updating sdk. Uninstall and installing again driver did the trick for me
SORTED!! (sort of) Updated sdk and uninstalled and installed the driver again, but it did not do the trick for me. Gave up on Win7.
Instead had a go on XP. Initially everything the same. Noticed two choices of compatible hardware given: "Google Nexus ADB Interface" (the one I had installed already) and "USB Composite Device". Tried the latter one, and yes it did install. In the device manager it turns up as "Portable Device/Nexus 9" (and not as "Android Phone/Google Nexus ADB Interface" as before).
In Windows Explorer it is shown as "Nexus 9/Internal storage" with all the directories, and actually when inserting the USB I do get auto start. By the way, was having the USB debugging disabled. The driver is Microsoft dated 2006-02-22 version 5.2.5326.4762 - which is not what I would have expected. But it works!
Will try to get something similar to work on Windows 7
SORTED! Yes also Win 7 - and it was easy. Uninstalled the driver, plugged in the USB and it installed! Also got the auto start to choose action. It now turns up as "Portable Devices/Nexus 9" in the device manager and as "Nexus 9/Internal storage/etc" in Windows Explorer. The driver is now Microsoft ver 6.1.7600.16385 dated 2006-06-21. Strange. As long as it is working!
MTP suddenly stopped working on my desktop running Windows 10 Pro N and I can't transfer files between my devices through USB. I already install the Media Feature Pack for windows before, I reinstalled it but it didn't solve the problem.
In windows Explorer there is just a grayed out USB-Drive and I can't do anything with it.
In the device manager the MTP device is in the 'Other devices' category with a yellow exclamation mark. I tried deleting the driver and updating the driver by selecting 'MTP device' from the driver list but it didn't help.
I tried it with a Oneplus One and a Nexus 7 (2012) and neither of them worked. Adb works fine and MTP works on my laptop, which also runs Windows 10 Pro N with the Media Feature Pack update.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi guys, I've been tearing my hair out for the past 24hrs trying to get ADB to communicate with my devices (Amazon Fire tablet + Nexus 5x).
I've installed ADB and drivers for my devices. They currently show up as Android Device > Google Nexus ADB Interface (ClockworkMod driver installed) and Android Device > Android Composite ADB Interface (Amazon.com driver installed).
I have enabled ADB on my Amazon Fire tablet (5th Gen - 5.1.3) and USB debugging on my Nexus 5x.
When I run ADB, all it sees is my Fire tablet but says "unauthorized" next to it.
On both devices, when plugged into the computer via USB, I get no message about enabling the computer to access the device etc. They just sit there, charging with "USB Debugging Connected" on both devices.
Could someone point me in the right direction to get ADB communicating properly with both devices? I originally wanted to use it to root my Fire Tablet to load a different OS on to it, so I used my Nexus 5x to see if that could communicate with ADB but it appears that neither do.... properly anyway.
Another flag that I'm wondering is that in Device Manager, I do have an exclamation mark next to a USB controller - I've found drivers for it (Renesas USB 3.0 Host Controller) - but it came up with an error saying the device cannot start (code 10) - I don't think this is anything to do with my issue as the drivers are installed correctly it appears for the Android devices.
Thanks a lot in advance.
I've done it! I had to delete adbkey from .android folder on my PC - god knows why! all fixed though. yay.
Info: Nexus 5x Build NPF26F, v 7.1.1 , Developer option, OEM unlocking & USB debugging enabled, Windows 7 x64
Install USB drivers for Nexus 5x (latest_usb_driver_windows.zip)
Trouble is the inf file does NOT contain Hardware Id for this phone (Just purchased Nexus 5x 11/2016)
Windows Device Manager Hardware Id --> USB\VID_18D1&PID_4EE2&REV_0310
I have added this ID to the inf file (%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4EE2&REV_0310)
With this addition to the inf file, the driver is installed. Device manager reports the 5x as "SAMSUNG Android Phone", "Android ADB Interface
After doing this the 5x is still not recognized in by adb
Because of the Hardware Id has changed the driver/adb are hosed.
btw I have also install via Android Studio, Android SDK Manager method.
and used the zip file from here developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb.html
Any thoughts
Thanks
Is there any signed adb driver for GT2 Pro for Windows 10? I can see only WinUsb device "ADB Interface" after connection but empty adb devices list. On Windows 7 I can use legacy method but it doesn't work on W10. Thanks.
Go to Windows update and check for updates. It should show compatible adb driver. Manual adb driver install did not work for me. Also make sure to use up to date platform-tools.
I have no problems with windows 11 everything works, before I had win 10 and also no problems
I found a Driver setup file in Android 13 image. I have installed it and restarted the pc. After connecting the phone I can see signed Android Composite ADB Interface (made by Oppo) in the Device Manager but still after executing adb devices there is no device in the list.
OK, found the root cause, if somebody has a similar issue, it works with minimal adb fastboot v1.4.3 from here
