Can't access on pc - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi i can't access my files on my pc (it is unlocked) not even sync for music
also it appears as a audio device in devices and drives

Have you set USB settings to MTP? Otherwise this might help: http://www.howtogeek.com/195607/how...evice-to-show-up-in-file-explorer-if-it-isnt/

The correct drivers are installed? Tried with different USB cables? Tried all USB ports on the computer?

yes to all :/

The phone used to work with the same computer and USB cable?

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

I used odin to flash 2.3.6 firmware in download mode and it installed successfully, i wanted my mobile to connect to external storage device(i.e. pen drive) so i made a cable myself and also attache charger power source to that cable(hoping it would work.e. mount & read pendrive) ..After that my mobile wouldn't cnnect to my comp or laptop via usb data cable....it would charge but a usb data connection was not possible .. And finally after trying various methods i think it now is a hardware malfunction(becoz of me) and it should be given to a service center..
Rest all is working fine i can flash diff roms , camera ,wifi all working now using pacman rom so i thought service center would charge me more if i gave my mobile as it is.. they could easily charge more for seeing other rom installed So i wanted stock rom flashable by CWM..
So anyone's help is appreciated.. thanks...

what I understand from your posts is that your phone is perfectly fine but there is a problem with your pc and data cable.
Check with some other data cable,and re-install the samsung drivers for "device not recognized" error.
Use other usb port to check whether its a problem in your pc.

i never saw any such option on any rom yet!
whenever you connect with usb to a PC you get USB connected notification..click on it and enable mass storage.
never saw MTP & PTP in usb connections.
Which rom are you using?
If its 4.+ then try this

In Device Manager in Universal Serial Bus Controllers i uninstalled everything from ASMedia XHCi controllers to USB Root hub... all of them, then clicked scan for hardware changes then i connected my device to computer, then clicked the app USB mass storage for ics and JB ....on computer the elements(USb Root hub, etc.) reinstalled and there it detected my device as unknown device,,,,then for 5-10 sec a message flashed
something like this ,,...". I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I Ata mass storage " then it stopped showing not installed...
Using Pacman rom ..does have mtp,ptp,mass storage options..( when i tick any one of the three options it force closes)...
I googled over net on connectivity issue and will need sum time to format c drive and then try again...:fingers-crossed:
I wonder once in odin multi downloader i ticked the debug option only then i clicked delete driver option which may have caused the problem.......
Finally problem solved...replacing charging IC ( as the repairman said) solved comp connection problem then flashed stock rom....

[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.

DOOGEE Y300 USB Drivers/Windows 10

I cannot connect my DOOGEE Y300 to my Windows 10 PC as USB storage. The PC makes the usual sound when making a USB connection but the phone does not appear in Windows Explorer. The phone appears as "phone" in "Devices and Printers" but I have not been able to enable it. Has anyone else had this problem (and fixed it).

There should be a notification on the device when you connect it, pull that notification down and it might say its connected to device for charging, tap that notification and see if it pops another menu up with more options, select MTP for file transfer.

Do you have the USB drivers for your device installed? The drivers that auto install when you connect to PC are not always enough. There should be drivers for your device brand that can be downloaded and installed manually.
Is your device recognized in device manager?

USB Connection Issues

I just rooted my s8+ with partcyborg's samfail and everything is working great except the usb isn't being recognized. I can see my phone on my computer and I can move files to my desktop but on my phone I get this message - "The connected device is unable to access data on this device. Reconnect the USB cable and try again." I have USB debugging enabled in settings. I'm using windows 10. ADB is up to date. I installed the samsung USB drivers. The device isn't recognized in kies or smart switch.
I'm at a total loss here. Any ideas? Could this be related to the 80% battery bug I was seeing? It's been at 80% for a while now.
Apologies if this is an obvious fix. I haven't rooted a phone since kitkat I looked around but the other threads weren't helpful.

So what do you wanna do with your USB connection? Just MTP (e.g. transfer files like you would when connecting a USB-Stick to PC) or you wanna do some ADB operations?
If you just want to transfer files, there's no need to have USB-Debugging enabled (in fact this is kind of a security risk when you connect to an unknown pc)

Yeah I've been trying to use drivedroid but it says there are issues with the mass storage. I'm going to send the dev a message with the ROM and see if there's anything he can do. For now just gonna flash back to stock

Question Junsun Pro, I can't connect the unit to a PC

Hello I need help with my junsun pro. I tried to connect it to a pc to use ADB but nothing seems to work.
I tried with usb 1 and usb 2, but when I connect the cable nothing happens.... The pc doesn't detect the connection and the radio doesn't detect as well.
The same usb port works with usb sticks and phone. I don't understand the problem.
I have already enabled usb debug (via developer option and secret menu).
Another important problem is that the usb settings menu doesn't work, so I can't change the usb connection type....
Is there a sort of block?
if your on a samsung use odin!

Connect both (PC and head unit) to the same WiFi and just use:
ADB connect 192.***.***.*** on your PC to connect. (Use the IP-address from your head unit instead of ***)
You don´t need the USB connection.

Well... Logcat saves all files in the same folder, so why do you want to change that?
It´s easy to access, so there is no need to change that.
BTW:
I use FX since a couple of years now on all my units and never had any issues to find logcat files at all.
Hello, I don't know if you still have that problem or not.
But the fix I had for my exact same problem to access ADB was to click the 3 dots inside the dev options (up right).
And then select the other option. They are both typed in Chinese, but what you should do is that first change it:
Connect your USB to the laptop.
Try: adb shell with both USB ports, it will work with one of them.
