Couple days ago i installed a Windows 8 RTM and tried plugging in my gnex in USB.
Nothing happened, it wasn't recognized and shown in Explorer.
I saw that WindowsUpdate offered Samsung Mobile MTP device driver but it fails to install.
Can anyone confirm this andor offer a workaround or help?
Thanks
solved problem.
I had issue with Windows 8 Enterprise N build, when i installed non-N build phone got recognized regularly.
Seems that absence of WindowsMediaPlayer causes issues with MTP device.
I still have issue with windows media player installed. It always locks up when I try and copy my pictures off

My Touch Pro 2 used to sync fine with my old PC running XP, but I seem to be having great problems getting it recognised on my new PC running Windows 7.
I've downloaded Windows Mobile Device Centre 64 bit, but when I connect the phone via USB, it isn't recognised at all and fails to install the correct driver - hence I can't sync.
Any suggestions greatfully appreciated!
I had the same problem
It seems to be 64bit windows 7 only.
Device cannot start code 10 right?
I ended up updating the BIOS on my computer and it fixed the problem. The BIOS update for my computer (core i7 870) had a fix for intel chipset and Iphone sync. Maybe it fixed for win7 64bit and titl2? I don't know if it was coincendece or from rebooting my phone with the reset button.
At any case, it is working now without an update to the phone itself.
I had the same problem, upgraded the BIOS...and still have the same problem. It will work, however, if I shut the phone radio off and start the sync from the handset. I think there is some conflict with sync from the exchange server. Standalone, it works just fine.
i have win7 x64 on my laptop. first time i plugged in my tp2 it displayed an error saying the device driver wasn't installed. then i opened action center and checked for solutions, the driver for windows mobile phone installed and the problem was solved...
I've noticed a similar issue when connecting to my laptop (Win7 x64). After connecting the phone, I get the "usb connect" sound but Device Center doesn't always start. However, I can see the phone connected in "My Computer".
Rebooting my laptop always allows Device Center to start the first time. But when I plug my phone in a second time, Device Center doesn't start.
I did notice that if I create the partnership the first time, Device Center seems to start more regularly than if I don't create the partnership...so maybe that's got something to do with it?
99% of the time I run into this problem. Searched here and Google, but couldn't find an solution. Anyone can help?

Nope. I stopped using MTP . That's my solution
I get the following error
"Unable to find software on your PC that can recognize your device. Service pack 3, Windows Media Player, version 11 or higher, or Samsung USB Driver for Windows XP, or Android file transfer for Mac OS must be installed (see www.microsoft.com or www.android.com/filetransfer)
when I connect my note 2 to my pc via usb. I also have a white note 2 that was connecting without a problem earlier today.
I've tried installing Samsung Kies, installing the Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones v1.5.14.0 with no luck. Let me know if you guys have any suggestions.
Stupid Samsung Drivers not working. Tried everything!
i just started having this issue out of nowhere as well. WTF? I've tried over and over to install the drivers and nothing is working. This is driving me crazy and I can't seem to fix it. My wife's S3 will no longer connect as well.
HELP!

Okay, so I'm trying to copy files from my PC to my Nexus 7 FHD. First tried on a Windows 8.1 PC and when I plug in the N7, it installs the MTP drivers (driver date is 2006 from Microsoft). Shows up in my file explorer and I try to copy some photos but after about 5-10 seconds, it will just freeze and basically file explorer crashes.
Read another thread about MTP driver issue (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2380978) but none of that helped. Uninstalled the driver, restart, install new driver. No matter what the MTP driver is the same.
Read somewhere else that it could be a Windows 8 issue so tried on a Windows 7 laptop and same result.
No matter what, file transfers over USB wont work.
So, is this a Nexus 7 issue as a whole (as I had no issue with my N4) or just my particular device as if so, I'll return it for another one.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers.
EDIT: Noticed that I'm getting an error on the N7 that I hadn't noticed: Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped. Looks like I might need to reinstall the OS from an image to fix it.
Hi,
I'm having some issues where the MTP driver fails to load. Tried all the obvious stuff and did a lot of reading of forums and stuff but can't find a fix. Could anyone help me to fix it please?
Here's what hardware I have and what I've tried so far:
Tab Pro 8.4 16gb wifi UK model, rooted.
Connected via cable to Dell XPS 17, latest USB drivers installed, win 7 x64.
First of all, I enabled USB debugging and windows installed drivers for all except MTP.
Tried installing the Samsung driver package, same problem. Uninstalled at present.
Installed kies, didn't work, wouldn't even connect to the device. Uninstalled.
Followed the instructions on the wiki but the suite software installs the driver succesfully but then windows won't accept the driver. Tried the workarounds in the wiki but still no luck.
Tried rebooting the tablet and leaving the cable connected.
Tried wiping the cache.
Tried restarting both the tablet and laptop after reinstalling software and drivers, still no luck.
Found several workarounds on my travels, one was a command line for windows to add to usergroup ( it's on the laptop downstairs, will add it to the post tomorrow).
One post said to change a registry entry...really? Tried that, and another registry trick, but still no.
Using the same laptop, I had similar problems trying to flash a custom rom onto an s4, but the CM installer worked first time. I've done a fresh install of win 7 since then.
Can anyone shed any light on this for me please? Is there any kind of workaround? Running out of ideas!
Thanks
Fixed this, well, kind of. Here's a quick rundown of what I did, for people like me who are struggling with connection problems.
I thought I had tried everything, was going to dump the whole thing and then remembered that I'd fixed some previous USB problems (sound card) by doing a clean boot.
First, remove Kies.
The only other thing that is required are the samsung mobile drivers from their website. I tried with and without and this would only work with them installed.
Restart your tablet, make sure MTP is selected.
You can find out how to do a clean boot for you version of windows here.
Leave your device connected via USB cable. Once you have clean booted into windows, windows will attempt to install the drivers from windows update, let it do this. It can take a minute or two to complete. You should then see a green tick in the notification area rather than the dreaded red cross.
If, for some reason, the driver doesn't install first time, you can unplug and then plug back in the USB cable and this should do the trick.
What I did find, is that the connection wasn't consistent, I could restart either my laptop or tablet and then it wouldn't connect, so I'd have to go through the above process again to get it to connect.
Doing this allowed me to flash the Clockworkmod recovery with odin 3.09, but for whatever reason, I was still unable to use the recommended Eimdall suite to flash cyanogenmod.
In the end, I downloaded the CM11 zip file to my tablet (via http) and then used ES file manager to move it to the SDCard root and then clockworkmod picked it up from there.
Also, once CM was installed, there were no connection problems at all, as far as I can see.
Hopefully this will help others in the same predicament.
