Is Verizon trying very hard to make you use data? - Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I would plug my old phone into my computer I could get my phone to appear as a removable drive. With the MAXX I plug it in and I get the install wizard and easy tether works.
No removable drive for file transfer.
What gives?

The CDROM thing auto launches, but the phone storage loads too in My Computer for me. Being on Windows 8, I get a prompt on how I want both to launch.

I may need a new OS! My personal computer is still on XP!

Do you have Motorola Device Manager installed currently? If so, do you have the most recent version (2.4.3)? That is probably what is needing to be installed

I thought I had the latest drivers. I will start with that.

I get an error when loading the software. That is why it hasn't worked like normal.

Did you edit out the getvar line?

Did you uninstall the old version before upgrading to the new version?

I did uninstall old drivers.
Getvar... Have to admit, I am clueless there.
This is required on a stock never rooted phone?

What error do you get when loading the software?

I will have to run it again. It is something the the effect of the software encountered an error during install and will not work.

That sounds Windows related to me. Win XP, Vista, 7 or 8?

There is a line in the download that has "getvar" in it that has to be deleted.

I have a xp netbook and desktop, and a Windows 7 laptop. Didn't have any issues or have to delete this getvar thing you speak of. I also didn't have to uninstall any previous versions of motorola device manager. When I installed the full app , it came up as an update.
I did notice once I had to switch the settings on my phone. Something about the media transfer protocol set as a camera.

Done some work on the apk and it needs input from the settings apk. But not as simple as that the way the app is set up it requires the core from the 8x for the linguistics. So its a no go for any other phone with out serious work and serious battery drain.

Yep. You need either the X8 (or theoretically the S800) for it to work. Even if it could be modded to work on a standard cpu, it's going to kill your battery life.

Nexus 5 unable to authorize

My friend got a new nexus 5 and for some reason the window that usually pops up to authorize the computer does not show up. Tried different cables, debugging is enabled, tried hard reset, software is updated. My nexus connects and authorizes fine. Inability to authorize is preventing us from being able to flash custom recovery. I was able to boot device into bootloader mode and unlock it though, but no luck when it is booted. Any ideas?

Yes, you know how a window would popup asking to reject or accept when debugging is enabled? That window never comes up. So, apps like nexus root toolking or most adb commands do not work.

Not just the drivers, use a newer adb too. If that doesn't work you can clear the authorized devices on the phone and there is also a file located on your computer that I think needs to be deleted also.
My nexus was really picky on the debug 'handshake' whereas I had to remove all authorized computers/delete the file on my pc and use the newest adb and drivers - and even then I had to reboot the phone first (once everything was cleared) and use the newest adb & drivers to make it work right.

What does it say in device manager of your system?
I can see my device xt1033 there. And in that, mtp driver is not properly installed I believe. I can see an exclamation mark on that.

Right click and uninstall the driver. Right click in open area of the device manager and select scan for hardware changes. Make sure your device is connected your computer is connected to the internet to download the drivers, if required.

Accidentaly deleted sdcard/bluetooth and i can't restore/recriate it

Well, just got my new N5 and already manager to screw up LOL, anyway, I was transferring some files through ES File Explorer from my tablet when I deleted the Bluetooth folder to clear everything up, and when I tried to import files from it again, it didn't work, and I remembered I deleted that folder.

Unable to mount /sdcard0

Started having an issue with dirty unicorns so I went to wipe in recovery and I tried installing a new rom and it failed. Next time I tried wipe it says unable to mount /system. Tried mounting sdcard0 and same issue, unable to mount /sdcard0. Haven't hooked up to PC yet at work all day. Any ideas? Will upload logs after work. Any help would be great using backup phone that's half busted. Thanks!!!

You might have to Odin flash the stock firmware. Sdcard0 is the internal sdcard. It might be hardware failure. I'd flash the stock firmware and see if you still have the problem
