[Q] Problem with USB mass storage - Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Solved: Hopefully this helps someone else. I uninstalled all LG drivers from my PC. Then I connected my phone in via usb and checked my device drivers and updated them. However, rather than letting Windows find the best MTP drivers I chose to browse my computer and picked from a list on my PC. I selected the Linux drivers and everything works perfectly now,
I have a P509 running WC’s AOKP Milestone #6 but I did something stupid…while cleaning up files and programs I uninstalled my LG usb driver for my P509 and now I can’t get the PC to recognize the phone. I run W7 64 bit and it just won’t connect - not even from recovery. On another XP PC it connects no problem (it has LG driver 4.9.4 installed although I don’t recall installing it) and my laptop running W7 64 bit connects no problem either (it has LG driver 3.6 installed, but again I don’t recall installing it on the laptop either). Installing 4.9.4 or 3.6 on my problem PC doesn’t help. I keep getting an error that “MTP… whatever” failed. It’s driving me nuts. I can use the other computers if I need to but the problem PC is my main unit and more convenient to use for all my needs. Also, the phone is recognized by my work PC which has no LG drivers installed at all, nor could I if I wanted to as I don't have admin rights.
Any suggestions for my W7 PC?
Thanks,

Access mem card through USB connect

This must have been covered before but search does not seem to be working for me here.
I want to access the mem card in my Fuze (stock ROM) on my work PC but it needs to load a driver for the new USB device it detects. I do NOT want to install ActiveSync on the machine, only the driver that will allow the USB connection to work in Disk Drive mode.
Anyone know what file and where I could find it would allow this connection to work?
Installing applications is prohibited by company policy and installing ActiveSync would be detected. Installing a USB driver would not be.
Anyone?

What OS are you using? Windows 2000 and definitely XP and Vista are plug and play. I'm using XP and the driver is here:
c:\Windows\system32\drivers\USBSTOR.SYS
If that driver isn't on your system, have you tried using the "Found New Hardware" wizard to connect to microsoft to automatically download the driver for you?

XP. The driver is not found by the wizard. I have had this on other systems before.
It is installed during the ActiveSync install. If you uninstall ActiveSync the driver is left behind and will still function but corporate policy has gotten strict on unapproved installs and traces are always left behind even after uninstall.
I will look on my home device for the file and see if I can move it to my work PC and get it working.
Thanks.

Installed ADB and not able to connect

Hello guys, I just got a G1 and wanted to activate my G1 without the broadband I installed the ADB on my PC (running XP Pro SP3) and it says that it doesn't found the phone. When I connected the first time windows looked for the driver so I don't know if this is the problem and I need to reinstall driver.
Thanks for your help!
You should install the driver yourself, teh driver that windows uses is to use it as a USB mass storage device. I'll see if I can find the driver you might wanna search around before people here get really mad that you didn't search.
here's the driver http://dl.google.com/android/android_usb_windows.zip You might also wanna check is USB Debugging is enabled.
Hi thelamacmdr, thanks a lot for you help, I dowloaded and installed but it's not working, checked on computer management - device manager and the installed driver is Android Sooner ADB testing interface but has a yellow ! and it seems not to work. Any ideas?

[Q] Driver Issue: Windows XP automatically installs wrong driver.

To preface this, I'm running Windows XP and have an HTC Hero that's running CM6 Froyo. I have been using USB transfer fine for a while. Then, I decided to try out USB tethering and it wouldn't work without the proper HTC RNDIS drivers so I downloaded the drivers and installed them. Now, I can use USB tethering but cannot transfer files via USB. The drive simply doesn't show. I uninstalled the HTC RNDIS driver and plugged in my phone again but windows automatically installs the same HTC RNDIS drivers. I tried manually updating the driver by pointing it to the android USB drivers I got from the android sdk but they won't install. I tried deleting all instances of the RDNIS drivers but windows still automatically installs it. Windows first recognizes my phone as an "Android Phone" but then displays it as "HTC Remote NDIS Device." after installing those drivers. This is extremely frustrating and I'm sick of Windows at this point, or at least the add hardware wizard. Can any one help me please? Thank you.
I have this problem as well.

Any official fix for MTP driver installation failed?

I just got a S3 yesterday but was greeted with the dreaded MTP driver installation failed message on win 7 (32 bit)
I installed the regular verizon s3 drivers from samsung's site, did the same thing, uninstalled and tried Kies and let it install the drivers, same problem
tried a different usb port, same thing
restarted the comp and computer, still no go
im getting frustrated now
it seems samsung has known about this issue for over a month now but still hasnt been able to fix it
my a500 and galaxy nexus work fine with MTP so not sure why this would mess up
ive looked at other threads but there was no clear solution on how to fix it
I don't have any issues with mine

Did you try a factory reset?

This happened to me too but I was running a CM10 ROM. What are you running and have you tried a different ROM?
Unfortunately, I cannot remember exactly what I did but I recall allowing Windows (I'm on W7) to find the drivers and install for me.
I'm not having any issues either, I'm using both 32/64 versions of Win 7...
These are the drivers I'm using:

Hope this helps..
I think I found the problem (its not the phone)
its the drivers that samsung issued
I plugged the phone on my win 7 64 bit desktop (not installing any drivers beforehand) and I got a few failed messages for drivers but I was able to access the file system fine
I then installed the driver pack posted and above then got the mtp driver installation failed message and was unable to access the file system
uninstalled the driver pack and connected the phone back up and I can access the file system (with some other drivers failing to install, I think relating to usb modem stuff ect...)
so until samsung fixes the driver problem I will have to deal with a few driver installation failed message every time I hook up the phone, but at least I can access the file system
im running the phone on the stock ics btw, didnt install cm10 or anything like that, the phone is rooted though but I rooted it after I found out about the mtp driver problem so it shouldnt mean anything
I have the same problem on Windows 7 32 bit. I rooted my phone and installed samba as a temporary fix.
Plus I just bought an external 32 GB SD card and I plan on using that as my workaround and just transfering files between the two.

Problem for me was the root.
Could you humor me and try this:
- go into the superuser app
- Select the 'temp unroot' checkbox from the first screen.
- unplug then replug the USB cable on your phone. The drivers should install on the first try this time (they did for me) and Kies should work too.
The problem seems to be that SuperUser exploits the USB Debug internally so, even though USB Debug is unchecked, it is still detected as checked by the connection and fails the install of the driver.
Solution #2 is the amazing script that transforms your MTP connection into a UMS one (look in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1785243 and thank open1your1eyes0 ). Once in UMS, you don't need the MTP driver to see your device so that's another approach.
Good luck
I bought Samsung Galaxy S3 2 weeks ago. Windows installed the drivers for it when first connected to my Windows 7 64 bit PC. It came up in the list of Devices on the Explorer. I installed "Kies_2.5.0.12094_28_8" which installed USB driver on top of the Windows driver. At the end of the installation, it gave "failure to install Samsung MTP driver".
Saw a thread on other forum where it was suggested to remove the driver from System Driver window under Control Tab/System and reboot. To be cautious, uninstalled Kies. Rebooted PC. Windows installed the driver. As soon as Kies was installed the whole issue unfolded again.
Looks like ALL Kies versions (including previous version of Kies_v2.3.3.12085_7_5) have incompatible and wrong driver which is resulting in this unresolvable situation.
I removed the MTP driver (control panel/system/device manager - MTP driver has ? mark - this is the one). Then removed the phone and rebooted PC. After reboot, connected the phone back. Windows detected the device and automatically installed the driver. The device is listed in Explorer and is fully accessible. Started Kies. It showed the device as GT-I9300. It took a while and connected to the phone. All functions became useable. Sync'ed the contacts etc.
Day2. Booted the PC. Device is still shown in Explorer. Kies shows GT-I9300 and then displays "Connecting Device" - IT FAILS TO CONNECT and on pressing "Trouble shooting" button, it re-installs its own drivers and fails to install MTP driver AGAIN" - the Kies software SUCKS
Solved! For real!
For some reason, any of those options helped me to make it work:
- Reinstall Windows Media Player
- Remove registry key
- Clean up old usb drivers
- re-install 100 times drivers from Verizon, Samsung. Even old versions.
- Install from Windows Update. I tried to do that 1000 times. Gosh!
- enable UMT access (mass storage) on the phone.
The only thing that worked was, for some reason , getting the drivers from a random computer that was the only computer that worked.
Windows 7 x64
Attached the files. Go to the devices manager and update the drivers.

3. with phone un-pluged from the usbcable Go into settings/Developer Options un-check Stay Awake un-check USB debugging un-check Allow mock locations Now hit the HOME button then plug in the USB cable and your are set..
This worked perfectly painless for me :laugh:

[Q] Help me problem solve AHD5-114

I need to update the Bauhn Sphere AHD5-114 from V1.2 to V1.3 as this is a fix to repartition the device (only allows 1GB for apps, has 32GB storage).
Instructions to update, including driver files are here: https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=a25f...06&ithint=folder,zip&authkey=!ANnJGmqdleVuyX0
The Problem: The phone won't connect to the PC when the phone is off. It connects fine when on. I have tried 3 different computers and about 10 different charging cables, all using the drivers included in the folder.
It connects for 2 seconds then disconnects, windows tries to find a driver but comes up with 'device unplugged'.
Need to either fix connectivity issue or find another way to install the update (this method is with SP Flash Tool).
Note: phone is unrooted (tried Framaroot, SRSroot and Towelroot). Also I'm sure there's a fix somewhere but I've looked for hours, maybe using the wrong keywords but all I've found is connectivity issues with the phone on. All PCs have windows 7.
bump
Created this account to thank you for the files! A friend of mine has the 1GB limit issue, and I want to try their official fix first, before going to unofficial means. I'll try it and let you know what happens.
Not sure where you got with this. Initially I tried the upgrade on a Windows 7 laptop and ran into the same problem you did. The phone wouldn't stay connected. I noticed the instructions "highly recommended" doing the installation on a 32-bit Win XP machine. I gave it a try on a 32-bit WinXP machine and had the same issue. I left the software running, phone plugged in, then unplugged the computer-end of the cable and plugged it into a different USB port. It needed driver software installed, again, so I pointed it to where I'd unzipped the driver, it installed the driver (for the second time) and then the upgrade worked.
The phone is *far* more usable now, it seems that just about all the 32gb is available for app installation. This is how the phone should've been configured out-of-the-box, imo.
Thanks for making the installation software available for download. I couldn't get it from the bauhn site.
