Im so saaad! i think its all my fault.. i copied everything from my galaxy s2 storage over to my new xperia s.. and now it doesnt recognize the phone so i can transfer files..
what should i do ? please help!
btw the phone is just awesome! wauw!
I would also like to know how to properly mount the storage to a PC so that it is recognised as a Mass Storage Device rather than a MTP connection..?
Its so annoying not being able to see thumbnails of the pictures/videos you are trying to access..its also annoying that the PC has to spend time on downloading the files before playing rather than streaming straight from the storage.
Anyone have any ideas? plz..
Rather than starting a new thread I just used this one..thx in advance
When you connect the phone, on notification bar should say Internal storage connected. When you go to My Computer you should see Other section, where new device come up, called... Xperia S. Double click on it, so it goes to Internal storage. Again, double click and... you can see internal content. Hope it helps.
Same thing happened to me.... Today onwards time n again seeing a mtp driver failed issue when connecting to my win7 laptop. It wad working fine earlier. When I switch off n restart the device,it installs driver correctly and autoplay option comes up to open the xperia s device. However when I click on open folder, I dont see any folders in my xperia s phone. Hence no file transfer is possible. How can I get my phone working again?
I tried to do pc system restore... Since it was working yesterday...but that didnt solve the issue either. Any ideas?
Sent from my LT26i using XDA
Do you use different USB ports? Try to stick to only one. I still have XP and mine is always working, so this is definitely PC and windows issue.
I have a Win7 64bit Home Premium edition VAIO.
when I first got the phone, I could use it to connect to PC Companion. It would also show up as a storage device automatically, and using the same I had copied over music and pictures.
However, after 2 days of use, I noticed, my phone was no longer being identified as a device. Also, it gets a Code 10 - Device cannot be started error when I look into the driver details.
I tried to reinstall the MTP driver, but it never gets installed successfully. It always gives a driver failed to install error.code 10.
I can still connect my WD hard disk and other usb devices.
I saw somewhere in the Forum someone had described that I needed to uninstall and reinstall WMP to make this work. Didnt work
I downloaded the Windows DEK to ensure that all the drivers gets reinstalled, that didnt help either.
I also restored my laptop back to factory setting......still no luck with the fresh install.
So, here I am with a phone where I cant connect the device to move in OR out music/pictures etc.
The problems are:
1) MTP driver gives an error while installation. I tried to manually select the MTP USB driver and isntall it. That didnt work either.
2) When I connect SEUS, with the phone restarted by holding the volume button SEUS identifies the phone and shows me that there are no updates. Not sure if SEUS can be used for exploring the phone. Most probably NO.
3) PC companion tries to find the phone. It says it may take few minutes to identify the phone if it has lots of files. After that the operation fails suggesting that PC companion could not find the phone.
I restarted both the phone and my device several times......did not work.
I uninstalled the MTP and USB drivers and restarted and got them reinstalled........didn't work either.
Any idea on what needs to be done?
I have tried all the ports and a different USB cable as well.
I even tried changing settings of the usb port as described in the below link..
Nothing worked
Is it possible to get the Sony specific drivers from somewhere?
Hi has this problem been solved. I have two computers, the win 7 one installed fine but it refuses to work on the xp one.
any help?

I've got the same problem, but you can still use MyPhoneExplorer from
.fjsoft.at
to access your phones data. please also read the forum, because it needs an app on your phone too.
fjsoft.at/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11454
Also I've called with the xperia help line about a driver pack, but there aren't any lose available, exept what is in SEUS or PC Companion, but they don't work for me.
Can also some tell me if SEUS also will provide the new firmware 6.0.A.3.67? because SEUS tells me that my phone is uptodate, but I still have 6.0.A.3.62.
Install the latest version of media player, that worked for me.
Try connecting phone in Debug mode. On first time MTP driver installation will fail too but after that disconnect phone, disable Debug mode in phone and connect. Now it should working.
If will not working then go to Device manager on your PC, find "Mobile devices", select something with MTP in name, right click and choose "Uninstall". Disconnect phone, connect again and now it should working.
Worked for me!
Hurray! I fixed it on my computer WinXP sp3. I did everything with MTP bla bla winmedia11 even dev kit MTP = No fix.
go to Settings-> apps-> handle apps-> all-> MtpApp <open it.
Clear data and cache. (restart phone if you want)
plug the phone in USB and wait.. the scanner/camera thing comes up.
Right click on This computer (my computer?) chose "Handle" -> device manager -> scanners and printers-> right click on the "phone" -> settings -> device driver-> update.
Chose let windows search for XXX and voila MTP device driver found and installing.
(I'm using Swedish interface so the names of step might be wrong )
I can confirm that delete data / cache on MTP App indeed solved the problem. Thanks
Hey guys.
I have Samsung galaxy ace 5839i (stock for 5830i) and I am using it for a few years, but this problem came for the first time.
Always, when I try to connect my mobile to pc using cable, it just won't connect, it won't even show me the notification of connecting.
Before this problem, I connected it to fedora linux and it was succesful, but now? It won't show me that USB sign even in windows.
Any help?
Thanks in advance
@LiQuDiAk, basically s5839i and s5830 i are identical in many areas ,, few questions though,, did you root your device or you are on android 2.3.6 stock version / kernel 2.6.35.7 ?
when you are in your windows device manager ( while you are connected , do you see any exclamation / question marks in front of the corresponding driver), you can always uninstall your old driver, reboot , then try compiled driver in attachment , and reboot to take proper effect in your registry (tested on win xp/7 -32bit) . Also check your device settings>Application>Development > USB Debugging and make sure the option is checked. now lets check your debugging mode through ADB command and see if your device is being recognized. download platform zip attachment, unzip it and put the folder someplace like your desktop. Now open your command prompt (cmd) through whatever means you are comfortable and change directory (cd) to the unzip folder or simply open your folder and drag/drop adb.exe into your CMD to be in the right place very fast. Then type "adb devices" without quotation marks and report for more troubleshooting .Assuming your Samsung cable is not faulty of course.
@ehsanotaku Yes i did root my phone on pheonix fire rom. No i do not see any. And debugging is checked, that was my first guess why it was causing this. I was checking, whether my device is recognized in linux (only available OS in present) and it was NOT, but the cable is not faulty, because it was charging my phone... but i will do recognize process on windows, hope it will get better. But thanks so far!
so, the driver didnt help, but the adb devices got me something long which i do not completely understand (i am a girl and not IT) so...

off topic though, gender discrimination is prejudice,, sorry if you are offended . Learning from each other despite your gender,does not undermine your knowledge EVER mate You might find it hard to believe, but I am quite novice in android stuff myself ( learning a great deal from some female members though ).
Back to topic at hand now,,,So let Perfectly Clear take away the time-consuming tasks and fix some stuff ..1. so you can not access your sdcard's content from either systems,, even if you try some live bootable Ubuntu disk/flash into your system and boot it up,, you can't access the mount drive content , right?
2. screenshot of your device manger while you are connected always help mate
3. those long streams of numbers and words is supposed to be your device name , it means your device is communicating with your pc ( /sdcard/ should not be corrupted). You can push (copy ) some vital files to your device with following command :
again same path >> put some file into your desktop (drag/drop to cmd)
i.e: "adb push C:\Users\ehsanotaku\Desktop\test.txt /sdcard/"
back to your device and check root of your files with whatever file explorer you got to approve the theory
4. forgot to ask , just to be on the safe side your device is not in boot loop process, stuck on samsung splash screen or something like that, right?
okay, thanks!
1. I cannot access it trough USB to mobile way, but from SD card adapter, yeah I can (it is just the weird feeling, when you always have to put out your sd and do it that way, i would like to sort this out)
2. http://s1.postimg.org/nkta50u3x/Untitleddas.png I suppose the unknown device is my phone.
3. Just a question, my phone is not connected, i cannot access it and this doesn't help
4. Nope, it is working, i can access everything, just this connecting problem i have. anything else is running smoothly.
Let's say any of this will work, do you think flashing a stock rom will help? I am not sure, if this is problem of rom or not, so...
And maybe i wasn't clear (my bad if not) but when i plug the cable in my device and pc, pc will make this sound of new device found, but it wont show me anything, so my phone. It will charge, but it wont connect, it is behaving like it is on a charger and not connected to the phone.
@LiQuDiAk, Hasty actions are done in a hurry, sometimes without the necessary care or thought. Now let's not leap to any conclusion about your Android custom Rom and flashing back to stock. lets focus on your first most obvious problems,which is driver related.
You didn't declare your flavor of windows: i.e: Windows x86 based-PC;professional 7
Not so sure of your OS Name/Version and System Type, search "system information" in your search box.
Your task manger depicted ACPI x64 ( 64-bit system, no wonder previous 32-bit compatible didn't work out for you ).
Symptoms observed so far:
1. USB cable only charges ( remember your USB cable data line might be the culprit. Just in case of only charging,checking with another set recommended. Your USB port might be problem, some dirt or faulty data line, checking with another USP port doesn't heart though.
2. Windows recognizes something more (like in your case, struggling to find proper corresponding driver), but cannot see it as a Samsung android device (cannot allocate the installed USB drivers to the device).
-If you got Kies (Samsung proprietary software) installed on your PC, delete it with a descent uninstaller program such as CCleaner free version .Kies might cause driver conflict , use it as only last resort , if all drivers failed to communicate with s5830i device.
-Also Uninstall your previous given driver same way, now restart , back to system and grab set of universal Samsung Drivers from attachment .
3.Can't see your "USB connected" in Android notification bar, so you cant click on it and mount your storage data part while you are connected to your PC.
-Normally, when you plug in your Android device, Windows will recognize it as an MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) device and quietly mount it.
However, if you’ve ever attempted to unlock your device such as to install a new ROM or root it, then such miss behaviors might be expected occasionally .
Before i go for more troubleshooting , please provide a full screenshot from your "About Phone" page in your settings . I am quite curious about this phoenix Rom you have mentioned though . I am quite familiar with at least dozen of discontinued/ported projects, but never heard of such ported Rom from other models into s5830i .
Couple of solutions :
Navigate to your settings,Storage and touch the upper-right corner for the “USB computer connection” options, if you have this part available.
make sure “Media device (MTP)” is selected. ( if you have USB Utilities section or whatever added section in your custom settings go there . Selecting that will do the trick. If it does not, then you likely have a driver problem.
Open your device manager, Right click on your unrecognized device in question,choose update driver software, choose Browse my computer,find it through given x64 drivers in your package ,Restart. ( After a successful installation, restart your PC, you must have something like the picture in attachment ) .
Problem was not resolved, Uncheck your debugging option,power off your phone. Now hold Volume(+) + Home + Power for a couple of seconds simultaneously to get to your Samsung Recovery or your Clockwork Recovery, choose Reboot( might be some process/service in your background, which interfere with your Auto USB connected feature of your device. See if the problem is being resolved .
Problems have been persisting, we might need to format your SD card, but before that, insert it into your card reader, in your file explorer window choose Tools>Folder options>select view tab> tick your select hidden file.folders. Now copy all of your SD card's contents into some folder, safe inside your PC.
We can format your card through your clockwork mod recovery console, or some partition tools such as free mini partition wizard,,
problem still persist? let me know
Hey
After some rest with this, my mobile got it solved (dunno why, just once tried to do it and it works.)
So, thank you very much with your answers!!!!
And about that screenshots, I will PM you
But, really, thanks a lot, mate!!!!
I just installed slim 6.0.1 on my Nexus 4. After trying to install the gapps I got error 70(Insufficient storage space available in System partition) and the instalation was canceled.
I rebooted the phone and saw there were installed only some basic apps with no use. So I tried to download from the AOSP browser a smaller gapp package, but
every time i hit the download button the browser crashed. Same thing happend with other downloads too.
SO I dont have any apps in my phone and I cant download any.
I need desperately some help ASAP!!!!
PS: cant sent files throu usb cause pc doesnt detect phone (propably brocken pins in phone's usb port)
edit: i was able to push gapps from pc via adb
Device USB\VID_1004&PID_62CE&MI_00\6&8563cbe&1&0000 requires further installation.
Lg Drivers 4.2.0 Installed. Running Windows 10 x64.
Also the phone doesn't even recognize it's connected to a PC unless USB Debugging is turned on, i.e doesn't give options for transferring files , charging device, Transfer photos etc from the pull down menu.
When in usb debugging mode if i select Transfer Photos the PC recognizes it, but not if I select transfer files.
Any ideas?

Hi
have you checked if the device is recognised in the device manager?
Especially after changing to file transfer?
If there is a error code in the device manager the driver cannot be installed.
First to check is c:\Windows\INF\setupapi.dev.log - here its explained what didnt worked.

Well I did get it working after reinstalling drivers, in MTP mode anyway.
However after installing the lg drivers and booting into download mode g5 shows as "unknown device" in device manager.
Think there's something wrong with phone, when I try installing a custom ROM instead of loading the default language initially it shows the last language I used, screen goes black when I make phone calls (all roms now, even after formatting data (instead of wipe)) and when I backup with TWRP, there's always a problem restoring the image: basically half the apps I had are gone upon first boot After restoring, a lot of apks won't install (says they're corrupt (they're not)), some play store apps won't install, lots of apps crash etc.
Need to restore to stock but since my device isn't even recognised under windows device manager there's no way to use uppercut/LGUP.
Hi,
I just bought a mi 4K stick. Android 11
Everything works like a charm except sideloading apps.
Enabled Unknown Sources.
Disabled Google protect.
Granted permission for Downloader and File commander.
Downloader: whenever i click on the file and open the apk to install, it will show the progress bar for 2 seconds and then close. no error.
File Commander: Whenever i try to install the file, progress bar showing staging app and then nothing happens.
I tried the same APK on my TCL Smart TV and it worked like a charm. Android 9
Any hint would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Same problem, any solution?

Others have mentioned the same issue. You could try a third party installer app like "downloader".
Or, using adb install or other system level tools.
Do you find solution?
Hi,
did anyone find a solution for this problem ?
a Quick update.... I managed to install apps using ADB Command.
first, enabled developed mode and usb debugging.
enabled unknown source
run adb command from windows laptop and install the apk ( adb install apkname)
https://sites.google.com/site/tweakradje/devices/xiaomi-mi-tv-stick?authuser=0 was very helpful....
i also got them installed thru adb , but when restart all of these apps will go away, its really annoying
to install the apps , follow these below steps :
from the CMD
adb.exe connect "IP address of your android device"
cd " location for your apk apps "
adb install " appname "
done
please if anyone find a solution to make these apps stands , share it with us
got it done successfully
now it runs as it should be
i only did a couple factory reset , then it works
most important , when download the downloader app, make sure you provide full accesses and grant permission for unknown app before open the downloader app
and the same for any other apps , download any desire app from downloader then install it , provide permissions then use the app
that's it

Dear Assad. Can you please have a step by step in how you did it. It would be appreciated
Hello All. I was able to side load some of the apps using adb. I was not successful to install everything but I did not try to see why. I was able to load the apps that I needed and that is why I did not go further. Also, experts might have an idea why I was not able to do it. nonetheless, here is what I did
1- Download the ADB file and rename it to .CMD __TV_STICK_MODS.CMD__
2- Once downloaded and renamed to say"tv_stick_mods.cmd" (just an example), double click the file to run it.
3- It will prompt you to download the adb.exe and it will take you to the site where you can download it from. You will have to download this file "platform-tools_r34.0.1-windows"
4- Once downloaded, you need to extract the the file in a folder where you know the location and add to the same folder the "tv_stick_mods.cmd" (all have to be in the same folder)
5-Download the apps that you want to side load (no need to put them in the same folder)
6- Go to your Mi box stick and enable developers option and enable USB debugging
7- Also from your Mi box go to the setting of your network connection and obtain the IP address for your Mibox (should be something like 192.167.XX.XX)
8- Run "tv_stick_mods.cmd" again and it will prompt you to enter the IP address for the Mi stick. Enter the IP address that you have obtained in #7 and it will try to connect and it will show you a message on the TV to allow PC to connect (Make sure that you are on the same network as the MI stick)
9- Once permission is granted, then go back to PC/ Laptop and you will see a message that says "this does not seem to be a mi-stick do you want to continue"
10- hit yes and it will take you to another menu where you can explore all the options that you can do with the Mi stick from your laptop.
11- for installing apps, choose option 8 (copy / Install/uninstall)
12- In the next menu chose install and it will prompt you to choose the app that you want to install
13- Go to the location where you downloaded the app and choose the app that you want to install
14- It will prompt you if you want to install that app or not. Hit yes and let it install (should not take more than 10 Secs)
15- once done, it will show success and hit any key. Once this is done, go back and see if your app has been installed.
Hope this procedure helps you guy like it did to me and please if there is any flow in what I did please correct me

hello, also for me still searching for solution for auto deleting apps after restart. for some apps not being installed try to search for another app version that match the stick from https://www.apkmirror.com/ . i am choosing the version compatible with armeabi-v7a and its working fine with me for the apps I need.
Good point I will check it out also I totally forgot about compatibility issue. Thank you for the update
