[Q] Can not connect HTC M8 to windows7 in PTP mode for android debug - General Questions and Answers

Hi all,
I'm trying to connect my htc one m8 to my pc(windows 7) for usb debugging but it can be seen in devices section on eclipse as in offline mode.
I can not see the RSA permission popup which should generally be seen on device on first connection.
Device connects only in MTP mode and i can not find an option to change it to PTP mode(which i read is important to connect to eclipse)
I have already installed HTC sync manager(device driver for HTC).
Can some one help me out in this please..?
Thank you in advance.
Mohan.

Try going into storage and then disable any way you can transfer files to your phone. Unplug your device, then plug it in again. And see if it works, usually helped me when I had to get android debugging working with my HTC Desire X

Sorry but it did not help,
Do you know a way to toggle between MTP and PTP modes..?
I can not find the option to do so.

Sorry friend, no I don't.
Have you tried to turn of debugging mode and enabling it again after disconnecting device and connecting it.

Problems with drivers for MT4GS and win 7

So I have an unrooted standard MT4GS phone and trying to start the rooting procedures, but my computer is not recognizing the phone in anyway other than in disk drive mode. When installed all of the fast boot drivers, standard drivers, HTC sync, rebooted both computer and device, it still is not recognized at all. I have usb debuggin on and i have tried all modes when connected to pc (tethering, disk drive (recognizes it as a removable disk), and charge only). Any ideas what I am doing fundamentally wrong? PS I have searched the forum multiple times for answers but to no avail. Thanks in advance.
I think I have a solution, but I'm not sure. I think you are missing the drivers for it. Google HTC Drivers and it should be the one that's named HTC Drivers 3.0.0.7 or something similiar.
Make sure USB debugging is turned on...

Try going into Control Panel ===>System===>Device Manager ===>USB Controlers & you should see a listing for a Mass Storage Device. If you'll right click on that & reinstall drivers it might get you going. I had to do that myself. It may not want to overwrite the installed ones so you might have to uninstall & REinstall.
You need to install HTC Sync, it will provide the drivers for Windows 7.. after it's installed you can just plug in the device and windows will find and install it. Then you have to close HTC Sync and continue.

There are some weird small bugs with this phone when you use debugging mode or change settings during debugging mode. First make sure your device is not set to debugging mode. Try setting USB to mass storage while debugging mode is on, then turn debug off, then turn the phone off and back on. Things like that... Mine did the same thing for a day but this was the deal. Lots of root necessary apps require the use of debug mode and it can scew with your settings.

also, which version of Windows are you running? (i assume you're in Windows). i think maybe people have had more trouble with Windows 8? i haven't had any issues with 7, the drivers auto-install when i plug the device in.

[Q] phone not recognized as storage when connected to laptop

HI all, I seem to have a problem getting my laptop (ubuntu 12.04) to recognize my phone as storage when connected via USB. Here's what happened. I have already enabled USB debugging and USB debugging notify. When I plugged the phone to my laptop I got the usual message on the screen of my phone an when I clicked on it there were 2 tick boxes: one to recognize the phone as camera (that by the way worked) and the other one that recognized the phone as storage: when ticked nothing happened on my laptop, so I unticked both and now that bloody message is not coming up anymore on my phone, I only got one which says "USB debugging connected". ANy idea?
thanks
Disable the USB debugging... It's not needed for storage connection.

HI thanks, ok fair enough but somehow I seem to have messed up with it and I would like to fix it if I can: I can't get the usb debugging mode message up when I connect the phone and the laptop doesn't recognize it as storage, not only ubuntu but even windows! could it be a matter of drivers? If so where can I get them from?
thanks

Thanks. When I connect the device as PTP it gets connected but when I do it as MTP , computer shows the error that drivers are not installed.
I'm having a similar problem on my phone, there is no option to change USB computer connection, so phone not regonised when plugged into PC? Any ideas?
MTP is a proprietary and modern protocol, older or open source OS's will not support it out of the box. You will need the relevant drivers, not sure how to do it on older version of Ubuntu, may be worth looking in their forums (support is included in new version in the proprietary driver bundle). There are no drivers for Windows XP, but you can get them for Windows 7, I'll dig out the guide I have bookmarked somewhere.

Here are the three guides I have bookmarked relating to MTP, I think the first from Tom's Hardware should fix (download is in 3rd post).

Oh yeah the other thing I didn't mention is MTP honors your phones security, so if you have a secure lock it won't show up initially until screen is on and device is unlocked.

Sorry it was a friends phone so I just returned it to him after try a few attempts. Can you not put your data into the cloud then you can access it on your PC? Good luck.
PC not recognizing OnePlus 2 after update to Oxigen 3.0.1
What seems to solve the problem is to pull down the notifications bar, which shows one notification which gives you multiple options for the USB. Please choose the file download option(usually the second option). Your OPT will show up on the PC.
Thanks and regards to all.

Phone not showing up in computer.

Ive connected my S6 to the computer but it doesnt show up in My Computer. It shows that the MTP USB Device driver has failed to install. Any solutions? Ive tried everything available on the internet. Even kies and smartswitch and samsung drivers installed. Nothing seems to work at this point.
Does it work on another PC, or with a different cable?

I tried it on my laptop but it doesnt work on it either. Tried 3 different cables. Weird part is I transferred Music to my phone via the computer just yesterday and all of a sudden today it does this.

Try to turn on usb debugging from developer options. See what happens. If it fails then probably your usb connnection somehow got stuck in charge only mode. In that case you will need to force mtp through commandline. Just see what happens after you try to turn on debugging first.
Additional note: this is pretty basic stuff but still worth mentioning. What happens when you try to select usb options type from inside storage settings? Does the settings option open up? Is mtp selected over there?

You can force mtp through command line only if you have root access. Are you rooted?
Since mtp is already selected in the connection type list, the problem is probably due to a bad driver structure. Disconnect your device from PC. Remove all the drivers and kies software from your pc. Reboot and connect phone. Try to see if the windows driver works out not. I am guessing you are on windows 7, right?

Ive tried that as well. Windows drivers also couldnt install MTP. Im not rooted. How did this even happen? I mean It was fine yesterday.
You can try these two solutions in their order and report back.
1) On your phone, go to Security -> Device administration->Device adminstrators. Check if there are any app with admin privileges, you have to deactivate them and see if MTP access works.
2) Connect your phone, swipe ur top menu down & tap USB PC connection settings, switch from MTP to PTP. Let driver's install. Now, go to the safely remove & eject media & eject your phone, when it says its safe to remove. Just switch your PTP back to MTP, see if the drivers install successfully then.

If ur rooted install multirom and install cm13 as secondary os.. then connect to ur pc while ur in cm13 it will detect the driver after that unstall cm 13 and connect as u do normally
like if worked
hey i found away around it thx though!
How did you fix the problem?
"hey i found away around it thx though!"
But why in the name of all that's holy would you ask the question and then not share the answer for others who regularly have the same problem? Keeping info to yourself is the best way of maintaining your "zero thanks" status...
oh sorry for not sharing what i did to solve the problem! here is what i did!
1. connect phone to pc
2. unlock
3. swipe down and touch the notification that says "usb for charging touch for more options"
4. select the option you want
easy
