MTP - Windows issue - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have problems with MTP on my Windows PC.
When I create a new folder my explorer.exe crashes. It also fails if I want to copy more than 2-3 files (for example an music album).
Is there a way to reinstall the MTP drivers?
Happens with Nexus 5 +7 2
Same problem with my Windows Laptop (win 8) and my Windows PC (win 8)
P.S. On a mac it also crashes when i try to transfer large files...

I have been having similar issues with MTP on Linux with multiple phones. I think its an issue with MTP in Android and not Windows/ OSX/ Linux. I have tried the same phones on Windows 7 / 8 / 2012 and all behave the same way.

I have not found a way around it. I just had to keep transfering 1 folder at a time, and just keep trying till it successfully copies. I have had to do with with LG Optimus G, HTC One, Galaxy Nexus, and Nexus 5. All phones did the same thing. Randomly erroring out on copying to or from the device.

Yea, I believe the problem is that MTP allows for computer and phone to still access the storage at the same time.

Please help me! Can't connect my Nexus 5 to USB

I just got my Nexus 5 today, and I am trying to put things on the internal memory of the phone. However everytime I plug it in to install the drivers automatically, it says an error occurred during installation, and kicks me back out, and refuses to work. I use Windows XP still, 32 bit, and it asks me to search the web etc for hardware, and it never finds anything.
Does anyone know how to connect this thing? :'( I tried on my Windows 7 laptop too and same problem, except this time it worked as an SD card, but in the bootloader to root the phone it fails to install?
Google universal naked usb drivers. Try those

I managed to finally get my USB and camera to "install successfully" but no matter how long I wait, the storage never comes up.
:'( what is the problem?? All other phones they just install and are ready to go. This is my main Windows XP PC btw.
The mtp divers on xp can be a pain.. have a search for a thread that is somewhere on here, it covers most of the problems on xp

I have a Windows XP PC too and have MTP working. Try doing the following to get it working - Update windows media player to 10 or higher, install the mtppk12 = MTP porting kit and install the Microsoft user mode drivers for MTP. These should get you going.
That's way too much work. Just search for drivers in the N5 threads. I had the same problem, there's a universal driver like the person above said.

[Q] Windows explorer crashing when trying to transfer file from android devices

I have 4 android devices and I have a Dell laptop running on Windows 8. Whenever I connect any of my devices to laptop it gets detected. But whenever I try to move file to and fro, the windows explorer just restarts all by itself and no transfer takes. I tried doing the same using my office laptop running on windows 8 and works perfectly fine. So something must be wrong with laptop. Is there anything I need to do my laptop to fix this? Somebody please me out with this.

Try Android commander or Total Commander + ADB plugin. It works great, if the phone is rooted you can go anywhere.

Nextbook NXW8QC16G Windows 10

Hi there,
There was a previous discussion on installing other systems on the Nextbook NXW8QC16G (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2956409)
This is specifically installing Windows 10 on this unit.
The latest build of Windows 10 build 10041 works great.
I backed up drivers from Windows 8 using Double Drive 4.1.
I created a system restore disk on a USB stick.
Used Rufus to format usb stick, to FAT32 , for the Windows 10 install, but had to avoid adding the image to the rufus tool as it kept changing the format of the USB stick to NTFS(the UEFI boot doesn't seem to be able to boot from). Manually copied the contents of the ISO to the memory stick and installed Windows 10.
Once in Windows 10, I installed all drivers except the display and network drivers (when I did on previous installs, i would end up with an endless boot).
Rebooted, attached a usb Wifi dongle, ran Windows updates, rebooted, and all, including touch and built in wifi work perfectly.
I am willing to do a driver dump of the current setup if anyone wants to avoid the Windows updates, or doesn't have a USB dongle to get the drivers updated.
Everything seems to be working brilliantly
I would love to have a driver dump for this device.. my friend has 2 of them and her sons have wrecked them.. I got windows reinstalled and was able to get everything but the touchscreen working again
I would also LOVE a dump as my daughter bought 2 of these for my grand-kids for Xmas, and they have ruined them! Thanks!!!

Good day.
Have you tried this with the latest insider preview build? Do you know if the drivers work out of the box yet?
Also, can you please provide a driver dump for me?
Regards,
Ganralf
I have successfully installed Windows 10 build 10074 on my 8" 16GB Nextbook tablet, model NXW8QC16G
You can find the drivers and some other tips on this thread: answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_install/installing-windows-10-on-the-nextbook-101-that-is/18a49db3-ad1e-4232-aa44-547409a27518
I posted the following information for what I had to change to get it working on my tablet:
The only problem was that the orientation was off by 90 degrees (display would be portrait while tablet is in landscape mode)
I found a small change int he registry file fixed it for me:
"Orientation"=hex:01,01,00,00,01,01,02
Note the order of the numbers.
Hope this helps people that want to install Win10 on their 8" tablets

Honor 6 plus & Android File Transfer Issues

Hello everyone,
I was using my Honor 6 plus and android fil transfer without any problem for the past month. But suddenly instead of having the all the files stocked in my phone available on the software window, i've an empty window (as shown in the picture below). With this i can transfer my files from my computer but i can't choose were to put them, and the most problematic is i can't transfer files from my phone (cause i can't access any).
I checked most of the developper options (the mtp is enable).
This issue starts after update to emui 4.0. Befor that i rooted my phone using kingroot.
The strange thing is when i try with my girlfriends phone (honor 5c emui 4.0) android file transfer work properly.
Dose someone have an idea ?
Cheers

I can't see a picture. Android file transfer? You're using a Mac then? Did you select files from the notification panel after connecting USB?

Do you have same issue on a Windows computer? Reinstall Android file transfer.
Try with USB debugging enabled

Have you tried a factory reset after a nandroid backup?
windows the only solution . MAC sometimes can recognize MTP . . Some times only .

Yes it does. Funny I forgot to mention and I use it always. Root required btw. Never liked MTP mode.

It sometimes screws up my SD card tho when it doesn't disconnect properly and you need to reboot phone to show the changes made. ?

Windows phone

Installed drivers a few times. Win 10 shows my 6 as windows phone. Didn't before I reloaded windows.
When you plug the phone, be sure to activate the transfer mode in the phone settings.
Drivers are included in a folder as a mounted device in "computer"
Yeah
I did that I can see the files on the phone but shows as win phone in devices and shows windows driver
A OK.
Is that a problem?
Yes

*Win 10 no longer sees the phone period. Under file explorer or in devices. Tried reloading phone and usb drivers numerous times.
Kinda sucks as I can't transfer files, root, twtp etc
So it used to work but now it isn't?
It won't solve your problem but if you need to transfer files you can still use a ftp (numerous apps on the store). Just mount it as a network folder using the local ip the app gives you
I give for now
