I've connected my Xperia M2 via USB but it seems the computer won't recognize it.
I've even installed PC Companion but it doesn't detect the phone
Phone was set to both MTP and MSC — but nothing worked
I wish to recover some deleted contact & text msgs via a software on my pc which needs to connect to the phone, so if there's a workaround to get it connected let me know.
How do I get it to detect and be listed as a device in My Computer?

Hey guys, I have a galaxy 3 with CM7 (kyrillos release) and I'm having a problem when using the phone to transfer files...
When I connect it to any PC without Kies, windows start searching for drivers, but it doesn't find anything, so the phone isn't recognized, and I can't transfer files...
In my pc, with Kies installed, I connected the phone and windows started searching for drivers and found, installed them and it's working fine...
So, what could be done to connect the phone sucessfully in other PCs without Kies?
Thanks
just install kies , it contains some drivers for your sd so the pc can see the sd..otherwise you could use a card reader and connect you sd straight to your pc/laptop
or else got to this thread and download the driver directly
There is no way to get USB storage working without downloading any files?
So I would need to carry with me a pendrive with the driver?!
yes if you don't have internet connection. All usb devices need a driver...
but when I put a pendrive, windows find the driver... but, when I put the phone, windows does not find
there are a few thousand drivers preloaded in windows to increase support out of the box for many devices, it's impossible to include every driver though
i think pendrives use a generic driver anyways
reflash the phone
install adb drivers for samsung in your pc
connect your phone to pc
u can find a small driver pack from google with only 10+m
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App
I think there is no way to conect the phone to pc using cable without installing the drivers. But there is an app that can help you on your purpose, it's the AirDroid, you can find it in the market. With this app you just need to conect to the same wireless network as the computer you want to transfer files, and you're able to transfer files using the internet browser, and others stuff like manage contacts, messages, ringtones, apps...

When you connect your phone at PC it will ask you to install PCC.Tap proceed and then all will be fine.You could also enable USB debugging from Settings -> Developer options.
If the window to Install PCC doesn't pop up and you connect USB just go to Settings->Xperia and tick Install PCC.Then connect the USB.At USB connection mode select MTP(it's usually set this way by default,but who knows).Good luck!

Hello, I installed keis on my mac running 10.9.5 Whenever I connected to the mac, I get the chosen mode is not compatible with keis, before connection change mtp media device connection mode. I have already checked the usb debugging option. Still get the same message. I also cannot find the backup and restore tab. On my device, it says connected as camera. Could you please help?
Hi everyone,
My Nexus 5 isn't getting recognized by any computer. I've tried plugging it into both Win 7 and Win 8.1 machine using different cables (stock N5 and stock N4 cables), it doesn't show up as a media device in Computer anymore. You can see that in device manager, it shows up as Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed). I'm unable to update the driver to the original Google USB Driver; even if I do it manually, it says the latest drivers have already been installed. I've also tried to uninstall and remove the device from device manager, restarting both phone and computer, nothing worked. Any kind of input is appreciated.
Edit: I've also tried connecting as both MTP and PTP modes.
I had the same problem and did same as you. I has something to do with USB-divers on the computer. So I did a dirty trick: I installed Sony PC Companion and rebooted (I know, seems strange) and now my Nexus 5 shows up on the desktop.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it and it still showed up as Unknown USB Device (even after I uninstalled it from device manager).
Hi there!
I used to be able to connect my OPO to my W7 PC. Now I cannot. My OPO original cable is out of service so I have been using a samsung charger and it has worked fine before. Plug in, popup shows, and I can access MTP files. I am aware charge is default and when connect you have to select MTP. But now it isn't even charging.
Ever since I updated to Lineage Marshmallow, I cannot do it. I was able to do it on my work laptop (W10) but on my home PC (W7), cannot anymore. So not sure what I am missing. The same cable is used for both.
-Have Root with usb debug on
-google universal driver installed
-pic of device manager below but cannot browse my phone to install (not recognized)

Install mtp drivers(http://www.driverscape.com/download/android-mtp) and update the unknown device with those drivers.
You should always use original cable btw.
