I'm trying to use android file transfer on my macbook and every time i plug in my phone it automatically selects the "PC Software" option and it loads up a screen that says "Installing PC Programs.....Please check your PC" but nothing happens on my PC or phone.
I select the Media Sync (MTP) option on my phone but it will literally switch it back to PC software on its own. I've even unplugged my phone, changed the setting and plugged it back in and it keeps forcing itself onto the PC Software option, i've even gone so far to restart my phone and computer.
I have the USB drivers from LG for my macbook and phone installed but it's not working. To make things more annoying I was using android file transfer like 3 weeks ago but for some reason this keeps happening.
Any help would be hugely appreciated.
Thank you.

Ok, I admit I am a total noob I have only had this phone a day and I was able to get it to sync with my computer last night. However, today when trying to sync I plug it in and activesync makes a sound like its recognized the device but does nothing and continues to say the device is not connected.
I am using the standard rom and have enabled data communications in the connections screen. I have tried hard and soft resets.
Please help me...
Also on a weird note it is detecting the device as a file drive but it has a ton of photos and music that I did not load onto the phone in the device folder. Also the mobile device folder is empty.
Thank you in advance.
Go to Start-> Settings -> Connections-> USB to PC and uncheck the "Enable advanced network functionality".
Connect your mobile to PC. It will be recognized (but not synch) by the ActiveSynch.
Then take it out and re-enable the "advanced network functionality".
Connect your mobile to PC agian and it will work again.
This works for me. It happened yesterday.
No go. Windows recognized it as an mobile device but activesync was still unable to connect to the device.
Also, when connecting the device as a disk drive I can see some apps i've installed in the program file, but it is still showing alot of items I didn't add. These files don't appear to be on the device. After deleting those extra files I tried to send new pictures to the device which would not transfer.
Any Ideas?
I've had my g1 for about 2 weeks. I have root. I have the RC33 update. I was able to connect to a pc after this update then one day I tried to get this song off of the computer so I plugged in the phone and it said "found new hardware"....I have tried everything different pc's different usb ports,different storage cards,....I tried the anycut app method....failed on one pc it opened on my laptop and then shut off again....I've soft reset,hard reset...removd the card and put it back in...no luck...any one with the answer please help...I will love you long time!
And the pc does recognize the phone is plugged up because its charging...
Hi,
Found new hardware means it was trying to install the usb drivers for your g1.
If this was not done correctly, than several things won't work like adb.
So that's what that message is.
But unplug your phone and go into settings, applications, development uncheck the box that says usb debugging,
Exit out and connect your cable, mount you drive and you can transfer files back and forth again.
Ok I did that but the box was already unchecked...so I plugged up the phone...and nothing happens so I check the box and the g1 acknowleded the pc and vise versa....and the installation wizard is for Android Phone...and is asking for an installation disk...so now I'm back to square 1...
Once you have plugged in the USB cable and Windows has recognized your phone (i.e. no new hardware found dialog anymore), you need to pull down the notification bar of the G1 and click on "connected to USB" or something along those lines. The phone will then give you an option to mount the SD card for read/write over the USB cable.
Ok the first time I can connect fine.. but after once the USB is unplugged, I can't load it as diskdrive anymore. It won't show up on my PC. The only way I can fix this is to restart my phone.
does anyone else has this problem? quite annoying to have to restart my phone everytime I want to put files in the phone. and I always make sure sure to click "Eject Android Phone", but it made no difference.
i have used connected my device many time to my pc & never came across this issue...& dont chose any option to eject i just unplug the device
if you were running something when connecting to your pc try exiting everything & you should get the interface to choose usb connection mode
on the phone the options always pop up, i can click "mount as harddisk", but on the pc there is no reaction and I can't see the drive.
so the drive pops up for you everytime you plug in the USB? weird.. it might be my windows 7 then.. hmm
Actually it may be your comp, I had this same issue earlier when i was trying to connect my phone, I just changed usb ports and it pops up fine, so perhaps you could try that????
I've had this problem before, but I have always been able to fix it by uninstalling ADB and drivers, through WUG's toolkit, changing cables, device manager/update drivers, jumping up and down while spinning and plugging cable in, among other things. However, this time is different and I'm not sure if it is because of M on my phone or the Windows 10 update. This problem has been going on for over a month now, and I've had both since it started. I've tried all the above mentioned things, along with everything else I can find, and none of them work.
The only way I can get my computer to recognize my phone to share files is to go into device manager every I plug it in is to; go to device manager, right click to update driver, select do it from my pc, select driver in folder. After doing this it works perfectly fine, but I have to do it every time I plug my phone in or every time my phone turns off while it's plugged in. The error message I get on my computer is "USB device not recognized" when I go into device manager it says "device descriptor request failed" It does this on both of my PCs. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!

I think I'm getting something similar since I've installed "M"....
Under:
Settings -> Developer Options -> Select USB Configuration
It say's it's set to "MTP (Media Transfer Protocol)"; it really isn't. When I plug the phone in, under Win 8.1, a desktop window opens with "AOSP on Hammerhead" (or something like that), but there's nothing in it. Now for some magic....
With the phone in one hand, and the mouse in the other:
1. Open Settings -> Developer Options -> Select USB Configuration
2. Touch "MTP (Media Transfer Protocol)" (even if it's already selected)
3. Listen for the PC/Windows Desktop (it should give an audible sound)
4. Immediately click on the "AOSP on Hammerhead" text in the path listed on the open Windows widow ("This PC -> AOSP on Hammerhead")
5. You should see an "Internal Storage" folder appear
6. Open the folder, enjoy MTP
Hello, I just purchased an LG X Venture, model number H700. It is running android 7.0. When I first got it a few days ago, I installed the drivers for it on my windows 7 computer, and plugged it in. I got a pop up on the phone where I set the default USB mode to MTP (media transfer protocol). It worked great, and I was able to tranfer files between my PC and my phone.
Then I tried to get adb debugging to work with my phone, and screwed everything up. I enabled developer options, and then checked USB debugging. I also accidentally hit the "revoke USB debugging authorization button." I installed what I think are the correct ADB drivers on my PC. Then I plugged my phone back into my PC. This time, nothing comes up. I've checked in the device manager, etc., and I can't find a trace of the phone anywhere.
I looked back at developer options under USB configuration, and it's still set to MTP. But somehow I screwed something up, because my phone and computer no longer recognize each other (except for charging).
I even tried my phone with two other computers (one also windows 7, the other mac), and got the same behavior.
Any idea how to fix this? Ideally I'd like to get ADB to work, but I would settle for just getting MTP back haha.
Actually, solved it! Turns out the cable I was using was damaged. I used another one and MTP works fine on all computers.
