Not being seen by pc... Kinda? - SOLVED - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've unlocked, rooted and flashed linaro kernel. So my phone does/has been recognised fine by my pc.
But when I plugged it in earlier for mtp mode the phone recognised being plugged in but the pc didn't? If i switched it to camera mode the pc then recognised. But then switching it back and still nothing? Any ideas?

Goto Devices and Printers and see if Nexus 5 is there. Sometimes it has a yellow triangle on it. If so right mouse and troubleshoot.

This happened to me too. This is what I did to fix it. I was on windows 8 btw. I used wugfresh's toolkit to manually install raw drivers. If you do use windows just follow the instructions on steps to install them. You may use Mac or Ubuntu for I know lol. In that case I would search for those tookits. They may have similar method of driver installations. I used the composite driver that came with the toolkit and it worked right after installation. I even unlocked my bootloader in the process too so adb and fastboot worked too. good luck.

Try Control Panel... Devices and Printers. Or Control Panel - Hardware and Sound - Devices and Printers

Found it, it says mtp with an exclamation mark and no drivers installed?

DL google adb drivers and put them in a folder. Click on the device in device manager and choose install from computer. Select the drivers. That should clear it up.

Alot of times you can right mouse the device and troubleshoot. It will put the drivers back in. Another way is to delete that device and reboot. When you plug your phone into the usb it should load drivers.

Toggle USB Debugging . Worked for me. If we have the community or ADB driver this might be the issue?

Well then? Sorry man it has always worked for me. I'd try rebooting the comp then doing it again. If that doesn't work Ubuntu is free. lol

I'm using the PDA.net drivers included with the Nexus Root Toolkit. The Universal drivers didn't work for me (Windows 7 pro x64bit). I also had to toggle the USB Debugging.

So MTP is no longer in Device Manager?

Nope its vanished and the phone still isn't recognised by the pc. And now if I try a toolkit and tell it to reboot to recovery it says not device found even though the device says it's plugged in with usb debugging enabled

Settings/storage. Choose 3dot menu. Also, have you used USBDeview http://www.tomsguide.com/us/download/USBDeview,0301-13254.html to be sure all Android USB drivers have been removed?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

In case you didn't understand the above.
Settings > Storage then click on the menu (3 dots on upper right screen corner) and USB computer connection. voila, you are now in the USB connection settings and can enable MTP/PTP again.

Are you able to mount to windows when connected to usb in recovery?
Also what happens when you power it on holding both power + volume (bootloader mode)?

reinstall drivers and check that when u plug it in, the pc is seeing the nexus go to device manager and see if its recognized mand doesnt have an exclamation sign, if there is one, while plugged in, reinstall the drivers
to learn how to install drivers and getting the correct files: http://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-root/how-to-root-nexus-s-or-nexus-s-4g-on-ics-or-gingerbread/
or try to flash stock via fastboot (maybe u will need to reinstall the drives, just check if its recognized under device manager):
little tutorial i made for another guy once (sorry my english and accent): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10_N_vV-7NQ&list=UUTsL8yOHOK7IUQl2tsKId5A&index=1

eventhough in the thread they say u need java sdk and all that u only need fastboot file and the rom image donwloaded the google dev website

Well I hope when u say "it doesn't do anything" that u weren't expecting something to pop up on the screen. If it mounts u can only tell by clicking.... My computer then drive "___" its probably drive f or g.
If it pops up then ur good. Add the ROM & gapps.
But worse case do what the previous post suggests.
Good luck

Phone connected as media device isn't recognized

Hi, I got a Nexus 5 but I can't connect to my PC trough USB debugging mode as MTP device only PTP works and in this mode I can't copy files. Drivers are installed since I have a Google Galaxy Nexus too and it works fine. What can I do to fix this? Any advice?

Bricked Recovery - Challenge for you guys ;)

Hi,
I have a challenge here. I forgot my Pin and wanted to hardware reset it but I can't get into recovery. If I try I sec the lying Android with the red triangle for about 1 second and then its just black and I have to take the battery out.
I tried all possible tools on linux and windows. ADB and fastboot dont recognize it, Drivers are correctly installed. because Windows recognizes it.
Here some Screenshots
1. what windows sees when connected when its on in Pin Screen
2. what it looks like when connected in fastboot mode
3. what the devices and printers page see when its on
Odin doesn't see it. The Unbrickable Tool under Linux does see it but does not work.
I tried everything I could find, so now I post here for more ideas. :good:
Thanks in advance
Lock the bootloader and unlock it again.
It will factory reset your device.

I tried on a Ubuntu System, a Debian System, a Windows XP System and a Windows 7 System.
Also I tried at least 3 different driver packages.
And this is not my first experience, I have a Nexus 7 and a Galaxy Phone which are both rooted, custom rom etc.. so I am not total clueless about the topic

Uninstall all N5 drivers and uninstall the device from device manager. Dis- and reconnect the phone to the pc and manualy choose to install the drivers from android-sdk/extra/google/usb_driver. That should do it, works fine for me.
Alright let me try that real quick

You should see a notification that provides the option to change USB options. From there, you can change to transfer files and two other options.
Hope it helps.

Windows 10? I think settings, system, device manager. If you were an apple person just Google device manager and your version of windows. You'll find out how to get to it. If anything is showing red or yellow delete them. Windows should then load the correct driver.
