hello guys,
i recently updated to hboot 1.36. Im running ARHD 17.0. I noticed that now the device is being detected as a mtp deivice. Due to this it is being connected as a media player and not a disk drive. I am able to sync media via htc media sync, but i dont know how to send other files to phone like zip files, apk files or any other file format.
please help...
Thanx
Mount in recovery or use airdroid.

If you are on a Mac, you can use the Android File Transfer tool (cannot post URL thanks to xda forum rules for noobs)
According to that page, if you are on a Windows machine:
You don't need extra software to connect your Android device to a Windows computer.

Go into developers settings, and enable USB debugging. It'll automatically show up as a mass storage device

Hi guys, i need help.
I can't find a way to make my windows xp professional recognize my galaxy nexus.
I tried with toolkit, but it fail.
Tried manually with 2-3 packages i found on the web, but didn't work.
In control panel, hardware manager i just see an uknnown device called "android adb interface"..
I tried downloading some google drivers, some samsung drivers, but nothing worked for me..
Can someone link me to the right place where to find drivers?
Also, do i need to have usb debugging enabled? And mtp enabled? Or not?
Thanks in advance

You can do that by default. The phone uses MTP (Media Transfer Protocol), which is used exclusively(I think) by Windows. It should mount as an external drive automatically, unless you have PTP checked instead which will mount it as a digital camera.

Ye, indeed the problem is that it doesn't mount automatically, so i'm here asking for help.
You will never get the GNex to mount via USB Mass Storage mode. It will only transfer files via MTP or PTP, or via ADB.
So i updated my One X through the OTA 4.1.1, now everything changes and stuff. Now I can't mount my hox as a disk driver, it forces me to download the htc sync manager, but it doesn't work either...
It doesn't recognize my device, it says no device.
Please help guys, i need this. Is it because i'm using a mac and that the manager has just been released recently so it still has bugs?
thanks in advance

to use usb you need to go in recovery and mount usb, if you're not rooted, well, that's the only method... HTC ha removed the USB storage from JB
lol, sorry im really new to this android thing. How do i go into recovery mode?
and plus, if i choose to use sync manager, why doesn't it recognize my device? Is it because i don't the mtp drivers?
thanks in advance
I haven't got the JB OTA, but I usually use Solid Explorer's File Transfer mode to copy files to/from my device over wifi. I don't see why it shouldn't work on JB too, so you can give it a try - download the app from the Play Store and use your favourite mac ftp client (mine is Cyberduck). Good luck!

if you don't know what recovery is then you didn't root the device so don't do that... however the Macs don't have MTP mode, it is a Windows only feature

Wait, so are you saying HTC has made the internal storage like it is on the GNex (one big partition for apps + data +user storage that can't be accessed through USB storage mode)? But could they have removed USB file transfer support without reformatting everything?
I updated to official JB and now on connecting to pc via usb it doesn't show the same notification window as ICS.
There is no option as Charge Only or Disk Drive..
Is this normal, how to allow disk drive access in this case.
You can automatically access the phone storage on both sides (pc and from phone) at the same time. AKA mtp usb storage.

Even i have the same problem. Even if we are able to access the sd card from both sides, the sd card isnt being shown on the pc. I installed htc sync manager, but that just shows your media files, not your other data. Please help out fast!
Ums made place for mtp. You can mount your sd card in recovery

Some taiwanese pioneers report that it requires something from windows media player 11 too. Make sure you have these two software installed.
Alternatively, you can use newer windows to obtain simplify this problem.

I know about that.. When u connect the cell HTC Sync Manager Setup requires WMP 11 or above. I already hav 11.
Need some thing else, i have tried everything, I dont understand how can a Driver file b missing when i have run HTC Driver Installer and have downloaded the HSM setup file from HTC.com straight that too twice..
Initially the setup showed some other files missing like MS VC Redist 2005 etc, so i got them one after one then it stopped at this error...
All I wanted was to enjoy my JB but it a nightmare nw..
Remove all htc drivers.
Install the latest one from htc.
Reboot your computer
Connect the phone and let the drivers get installed.
I hope it works.

How can i remove all htc drivers, i know the device manager approach. But read sumwhere that these drivers are some times stored in system and same reverts when u connect the device..?
They have done away with usb mass storage in JB and gone to MTP storage. A decent work around is to mount with CWM recovery or TWRP recovery
Also this has been discussed before mate

Are you just trying to transfer files cuz you don't need adb to transfer. Just mount your SD card, drag and drop.
Now if you are trying to push system files, then ok. To start, what Rom are you running? Also, you can do what I said above then use a root browser from the play store to move the files within.

the latest cm7 gb nitely and i updated my radio to 2.15.00.12.19 with
mason-Gd15r c4-sbc kernel i want abd so that when i download a new rom i can move it from the computer to the phone instead of downloading it str8t to the phone can you help me
First. it's ADB, not ABD.
Second, it's definitely that the phone's not going into Debug mode?? You have the path for ADB Set in your command line, the server starts, stops, etc?
Also, why can't you just connect the phone to your computer with the USB Cable, toggle USB Connect and have at it?
With windows, you can mount the SD card and transfer files to it normally. On OS x, we have to use the htc sync manager. Is there anyway to mount the SD card without it?

The HTC Sync is horribly slow. I took the SD card out, put it in the adapter, and popped it in my MBP. It worked flawlessly.

Yeah I didn't even bother it's useless. I want to drag and drop the files myself. Taking the sd card out is an option but it's a hassle since you need a pin all the time. I'm trying some apps in the play store but no luck so far. Kind of dumb how they're forcing htc sync on us
You will need ROOT and app called "DriveDroid"
Download Android File Manager - http://www.android.com/filetransfer/
Open DriveDroid app, give it root access and under its settings, change USB or Permanent USB mode to "Mass Storage Android Debugging"
Connect to OSX and open the Android File Manager app on OSX... next time you wont need to open it manually, it will open everytime you connect the phone.
This might break connection to HTC Sync though
(I use the above for my iMac)

Do you have to reboot your Mac every time you want to mount the Android device? I am having issues getting the device to mount to an already running OSX computer.
What I don't get is why we need extra software. My old htc one s mounts the sd card just fine with no extra software

The solution is uninstall HTC Sync Manager and using DriveDroid change to Manually change permanent Mode to MTP.
Is there a way though to force the internal storage and SD card to be directly mounted onto OSX, rather than having to use another 3rd party app (android file transfer)?

Its not 3rd party ... its from Google
And the answer is no to your question, unless you run a SMB server on the phone over your wifi network, then your phone will popup in Finder as a network device. I have tried 3rd party phone apps that do this but the connection is unreliable and transfer speed slow.
