I installed the Samsung USB drivers on my Win 7 64-bit laptop. I have ADB installed, and have used it for other devices, no problem. I can still use it to connect to my Color Nook.
I kill-server; start-server, and look for devices - nothing. But I can see the USB installer and those other few files on the phone, and I can see everything on the sdcard.
Any ideas? I'm going crazy here.
Do you have USB debugging on?

I had this problem as well.
First see if you have the "SAMSUNG usb driver" installed in control panel programs.
If not, take off usb debug and connect phone to computer. Then you should get a "install verizon software" option once you plug it in. Install software .. Then, enable "usb debuging" try it again, if that doesn't work .. remove verizon software, not usb drivers. This is basically what i did, and it started working

Hi,
Has anyone tried connecting the Nexus 5 to a macbook air in bootcamp? I have MTP mode enabled but cant seem to get the phone to show up as a storage device in Computer. I was however able to connect the phone via MTP to a HP laptop no problem. Anyone have any idea what might be going on?
Thanks.
I also have this problem. MTP is selected and my computer doesn't see it as a storage device.

I had this problem with both my Nexus 7 (2013) and the Nexus 5 in Windows 8 and it came back when I updated to 8.1 (on a Windows PC, not even through Bootcamp). The following fixed the problem each time:
1) Go to Device Manager (press WIN+R, probably CMD+R in Bootcamp, type devmgmt.msc and hit ENTER).
2) Find the phone under something like Android Devices.
3) Right-click and select Update Driver Software.
4) Select Browse my computer for driver software
5) Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
6) Select USB Composite Device
Apologies if the text isn't exact, I'm actually on a Mac right now and don't have Bootcamp... and the PC I remoted into doesn't have an Android device plugged into it. But after doing all of that, Windows instantly recognized it and both MTP and USB debugging / ADB worked fine.
Hmm, so my phone is showing us as "MTP USB Device" under "Portable Devices" in device manager. And the " Update Driver Software" option is not available when I right click it.

I had the same problem!
None of the drivers works for me and the "Update driver" option is not available when my phone is plugged in.
Are you using a USB 3.0 port?
For some reason my phone works when I connect it through a USB 2.0 hub, but not when I connect it directly to the USB 3 port on my laptop.
Weird.
This solution worked for me. Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2512549 and see post #5. Be sure to thank n7of9 for the link and WugFresh for his toolkit solution. Enjoy.
I started to have this issue since I have formatted my PC (I've got Windows 7 Professional).
If I connect the device without the debugging USB activated, the PC doesn't recognize it, such as the device doesn't exist. Neither the classic sound which the PC does when you connect something to the USBs ports. Nothing, without the debugging USB my PC doesn't recognize nothing, and the device only goes charging, the notify of the USB connected doesn't appear, it could be because the PC doesn't recognize the device.
But if I activate the USB debugging my PC recognizes something. The auto-installation from Windows Update for the drivers starts (it says "Nexus 5"), but it doesn't find any driver on Windows Update. So I've downloaded the original Google USB drivers. I've gone on Computer -> Device -> Right click on Nexus 5 -> Update of the drivers. So I selected the unzipped folder but Windows doesn't install the drivers. It says it's impossibile to find the driver for the device, but I've selected the correct folder!
I've also tried to download the drivers with SDK Manager, but even in this way Windows doesn't install the drivers.
I've also tried to download the "naked drivers" from XDA, but that was the same result.
So I don't know how to do. Why Windows doesn't recognize my device?
My Nexus 5 is still with the stock firmware.

I had this issue with my first N7 2013. I ended up RMAing it because of touchscreen issues, and the replacement never had the issue. From my experience, I can only deduce it's a problem with the hardware.
Hello there,
I'm running CM11 20141223 NIGHTLY on my XT1033, and everything is working fine so far, with the exeception of USB communication. I develop my stuff on my desktop, which is running W7. Consider the following scenarios:
1) If I plug it in MTP mode (debugging deactivated), it won't find. Windows tries to install a USB Composite Device driver and fails.
2) If I plug it in PTP mode (debugging still deactivated), Windows installs a Moto G driver and access the DCIM camera folder normally (that's what I've been using to "push" files into it, and then move it with file manager with temp su access).
3) In both MTP and PTP mode, but with debugging activated, Windows detects it as a USB Composite Device. On Device Manager it shows up with the yellow triangle warning icon, but I can't seem to update it (tried with the extra Android drivers that comes with ADT).
4) Neither adb nor fastboot can detect the device. Which is weird because on my notebook, running windows 8.1, I got the same situation but adb (only, fastboot still can't) can detect it.
5) I also installed Koush universal ADB Drivers on both machines.
Does anyone have some insight on the matter? Should I get rid of Koush?
I don't intend on upgrading to CM12 anytime soon. In fact, I did it some weeks ago, but I'm more confortable with CM11 so I rolled back to it.
Hoping it's okay to bump my thread after a month.
Does anyone know what to do in this situation?
Thanks!

Have you tried Motorola's drivers? It installs separate drivers for adb, fastboot, mtp. https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_detail/a_id/97326/p/30,6720,9050
When I first plugged my A9 into my computer I was immediately given a prompt to allow the computer to be used for adb, and proceeded to reboot to download to make sure everything worked before I attempted to unlock the bootloader using HTCdev. With the phone still plugged in the USB debugging symbol is no longer there and I've tried unplugging it, and plugging the cable back into the phone as well as the computer. Tried both ports on my computer, disabled USB debugging and re-enabled it but no dice ?. I'm not sure what to do now, adb devices shows up as empty.

This happens to me from time to time, especially when I'm swapping different devices out a lot.
Go to Device Manager
You should have Android USB Devices > My HTC (this is the ADB device) and Portable Devices > HTC One A9 (this is the MTP device).
You likely only see the MTP device. If so, right-click on it and select "Update Driver Software"
Click on Browse my computer for driver software
Navigate to your HTC device driver folder (in my case it's C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Win7_x64)
Click Next
If you get a message that the best driver is already installed, then click the back button
Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
If you have a device listed as My HTC select that
If you don't, you'll kind of have to play with different things from here. Try unchecking show compatible devices and see if it shows any Android USB devices. You might need to browse for your device drivers again.
Will try that when I get home, thank you very much ☺

For some reason my laptop doesn't read my phone, works on my pc fine but i'm trying to fix it for my laptop. My phone only charges, can't access the files. My USB configuration is set to MTP, it defaults to Charging only but even if i switch it back and forth it does not work, thanks in advance for any help.
If you're on Marshmallow, swipe down from the top of the phone screen, press the USB notification, and change the selection from "charging only" to "file transfer".
Or do you mean that even when you do this (your description isn't clear) the laptop still can't see the phone? In that case, it'll be a driver problem. Install Wugfresh's Nexus Root Toolkit on the laptop and use the "Install & Test Drivers" button to set your laptop drivers up.
Okay I installed the root toolkit that you speak of but I don't see any "Install & Test Drivers" button. Unless you are talking about the "Full Driver Installation Guide" but that doesn't work because it can't recognize my phone.
Yes, "full driver installation guide".
I'm not trying to be funny, but you do get that the point of this is to get your laptop to recognise your phone, right...?
Yes I get that but I don't think you understand what I am trying to say. When following the installation guide I can't get past step 2 because it requires feedback from the phone, but it's still not being recognized thus making the process moot. The only time my laptop recognizes my phone is everytime I restart the phone, for a few seconds while the phone is loading I get an error of "unknown device found" on my laptop. When I try to manually update the "unknown device's" drivers, it says they are up to date. Even when I have the new google drivers on my desktop and point to it. Sorry it's late and I am half asleep, hope I am making some sense.
You've tried different USB cables and USB ports?
Is the phone recognized in fastboot or recovery mode?
Yes I have tried different cables but the issue is not with the cable nor my phone because I can just go onto my brother's pc and it recognizes immediately. It's just my laptop, and no it is not recognized in fastboot nor recovery mode.
Maybe it has something to do with the OS in the laptop?
No win7 64 bit for both, I know it's driver related but I just don't know what to do to fix it.
I've told you what to do... it's worked for me many times on a number of laptops, and on Windows 7.
If part 1 of the driver setup process didn't work, go back and do it again, following the instructions exactly to the letter, no shortcuts - i.e. when it says "reboot" then reboot, don't think "Nah, I don't need to do that."
Try deleting all existing drivers and reinstall.
I use the naked USB drivers on a win7 x64 laptop and desktop.
