Hey guys here is the way to connect to pc
Case 1(your phone drivers are not installed correctly)
The best way is to install kies Download samsung usb drivers for mobile phones
Use moborobo pc suite
Case 2(u have installed drivers properly but still it is not recognized)
"Run "regedit"and select the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/MountedDevices" folder. See all the "Dos Devices" listed? You'll have one entry for each physically mounted drive (HDD or Disc) plus you'll have one show up for each USB drive you attempt to insert. Double click each device listed and seeifyou seetextsaying something like"U.S.B.S.T.O.R...". Once you find that device, right click it and select "Rename". Now change the drive letter to something unused... like Q: or something. Close regedit, disconnect the USB device and reconnect
Try this it works:thumbup:
Hit thanks if i helped

I'd ask this question in the dev part of the forum but i'm still not mature enough according to postcount so please bear with me.
Does USB tethering work on the July-20 build?
Apparently i'm missing the driver (W7 x64) as i'm getting only "Unknown mass storage device" in device manager upon enabling USB tethering.
Anyone experienced this?

Yes, it does for me too..
However you can fix Windows to recognize your tethered USB port by installing the following file attached. First rename the file to tetherxp.inf and then proceed.
Press Windows + R key to get the Run Dialog Box. Enter devmgmt.msc in the dialog and hit Enter. This will open up the Device Manager window. Navigate to your problematic USB Mass Storage device, select it and right click to get a context menu. Select "Reinstall driver for this device". This will open up a Windows Dialog Box to reinstall drivers. Choose "Browse my Computer for Driver Software" and select the above file which you downloaded to your Computer. If all went well, Windows will list "Remote NDIS based Sharing Device", select it and proceed to complete the installation.
You may need to reboot.
Check if USB tethering works.
You will need to remove above RNDIS Driver manually again, to use your phone as a USB Mass Storage Device.
Ravi.
I thought this was the solution for XP as even the file name suggests :\
Thanks though.
It works for me on windows7

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
i'm trying to connect my nexus 5 with to my laptop (dell xps 1340 running windows 7) and nothing shows on "my computer".
i go to the setting - storage - usb computer connection, and check the first one (MTP). unplug and plugit again and nothing shows on my computer.
so i tried to uninstall the nexus 5 on the device manager, unplun and plug, then right click and update software driver, browse computer for driver software, then i navigate to the latest google usb driver that i download from google, and when i try to install the driver it says: "windows was unable to install your nexus 5".
what should i do?

Try changing the USB connection to PTP and see if that works for you. If it doesn't, use this tool to help set up your USB connection. http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...olkit-wugs-nexus-root-toolkit-v1-8-0-t2517778 You don't have to actually root or unlock anything so the process should be pretty easy. All you need to do is click the Full Driver Installation Guide button and i will guide you through the process.
