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 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
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

I have MTP and USB tethering working on my dell xp PC
To get tethering working you need USB debugging enabled and then select USB tethering... Obviously you'll need the proper drivers setup and installed.
When I select USB tethering and then check in Device Manager it shows my N5 connected under "Network Adapters" as "Windows Mobile-based internet sharing device" I right click on it and select Properties and then select the Drivers Tab and then select Driver Details it shows 2 driver details listed -
1. C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\rndismpx.sys - which is Remote NDIS miniport
2. C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\usb802x.sys - which is Remote NDIS USB driver
Your gonna want to take a look a my post about MTP and try and get that setup also... Here's my post from another thread -
Well I can tell you what transpired... I was having MTP and fastboot driver issues when I was trying to unlock the Bootloader and root my lenovo a2109 tablet. I finally got the fastboot driver installed but I was still having MTP driver issues. I did a lot of research on MTP and tried a lot of solutions. Something's that I did was update windows media player to 10 or higher, I installed mtppk12 = MTP porting kit, Microsoft user mode drivers, installed Android SDK, Java and .net framework 4.0 I also have the latest version of Microsoft ActiveSync installed as this added additional USB drivers for my PC to communicate with my windows phone.
I have all kinds of drivers installed on my PC. I have my N5, 2 other lg phones, 2 Samsung's, 2 Tablets, a Huawei, all are android devices and a HTC windows phone. MTP mode works on all of them except the HTC windows phone obviously, but USB debugging has to be disabled and I don't have to reboot my phones to get them to connect.
When I connect my N5 to my PC with only MTP selected and check in device manager it shows up under "Portable devices" as "Nexus 5" when I right click on it and select properties, then click on the drivers tab and select, driver details it shows 2 driver details -
1. "C:\windows\system32\drivers\wpdusb.sys" which is WPD USB driver
2. "C:\windows\system32\drivers\wudfrd.sys" which is Windows driver foundation - User mode drive framework reflector.
It shows the same driver details for all my android devices and lists them under portable devices in device manager by there names. eg. Nexus 5, LGMS 769, LGMS 770, A2109 and so on.
I also have MTP Enhanced.exe installed to the root of my C:\ Drive
Good luck
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 go to the setting - storage - usb computer connection, and check the first one (MTP). unplug and plugit again and nothing shows on my computer.

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.
