I know my way around fastboot, adb, command line pretty well, but I just got my N7(2013) last night, so in that sense, I'm a Noob.
Questions:
Can I just root with SuperSU without TWRP? Or will the stock recovery not let me do that? i.e. is there a signed SuperSU? I would rather keep my stock recovery, if possible.
After I root, do USB storage devices connected via an OTG cable "Just Work"? Do I have to manually mount them? Does it enable a Menu?
Is there any way to enable USB Storage (The other way, when N7 is connected to PC) once I root? Is anybody working on this?

Suggest you do
fastboot boot twrp.img
instead of flashing twrp onto the tablet's recovery partition
This will run twrp temporarily to install SuperSU's update.zip but will leave stock recovery on your tablet untouched.

Recognition is automatic. Mounting is not. So yes, you need to mount them. Whether you do that manually or through a helper app like stickmount is up to you

Doubtful. N7 doesn't have a real sdcard partition formated fat32. It has a simulated sdcard kept in the /data/media folder. MTP/PTP are the only ways Google wants to support storage going forward.
Thanks, sfhub;
Great trick about running twrp once.
That way I can have root, and my stock recovery.
Thanks for the other info, too.
No MTP or Storage show on PC
I am running windows 7 64 bit and I have managed to get root on my new Nexus 7, but now when I plug my tablet into the PC it says on the tablet connected as media device, but it never shows up anywhere on my pc so that I can transfer files on to it. The nexus 7 never shows up as an extra drive or as an media device. Please help. can not seem to find any info on this problem. the usb icon at the bottom of the screen does say eject nexus 7 when I click on it, and if I have usb debugging turned on it says ADB device connected but I still can not see it anywhere on the pc. Please help
Are you running stock or custom ROM?
If you running stock, you can try disabling USB debugging or try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391236
If you are on custom ROM, it appears there may be an MTP issue with some ROMs.
Yes I am using the stock rom .all I did was root it and I have tried with no success with usb debugging turn Off as well. I have even tried to uninstall the drivers I used to root the tablet , but can not find them to uninstall or delete them
In devmgmt.msc the device is either listed under
Android Phone
Imaging device
Portable device
Unknown
Do you see any ? or unknown devices?
In Devices and Printers in the control panel its listed under Unspecified as Nexus 7 but you can not do anything with it there but right click on it and hit eject or properties and it says Google Nexus ADB interface ___ Android Device ___ status working properly and that's it .In Device manager it listed as Android Device ___ Google Nexus ADB Interface.
I Got it Thank you Thank you. I was able to uninstall the drivers there in the Device manager, unpluged the Nexus 7 plugged it back in it install the correct drivers and I am now able to mount my device as a MTP device and transfer files. Thanks again for the Help.
I put Android File Transfer on my Macs:
http://www.android.com/filetransfer/
and gmtp on My Ubuntu Ultrabook, and on my old Xubuntu desktop.
I put the SD card in the Ultrabook, and copied everything I wanted to the N7(2013).
In all cases, it worked pretty much plug and play, but I still consider it a work-around.

I tried to get it to mount on my Desktop which runs linux(kubuntu). No luck. I tried mounting it in my Windows 7 VM, but no luck. I tried to get it to mount on my girlfriends laptop and still nothing. In both the windows instances, I used the KF Utility to install the ADB drivers but it only recognizes the ADB connection over USB and does not prompt me for SD Card access. Any ideas?
What have you done to get your sdcard to mount? TWRP? Command line?
I'm not sure what you're wanting here... are you trying to mount as a mass storage device? Or with the Kindle Fire Drivers to root it?

Nothing, I am in AOKP and tried to plug in the USB cable like I used to do all the time.

I would think the title makes it pretty clear that I am trying to access it as mass storage. Just sayin.

Actually, it isn't "pretty clear", because there are several ways to "get it to mount".
How long have you been using AOKP? Do you have Debugging turned on? What steps have you taken to mount your USB storage other than just plugging it in? When you plug it in, does anything show up in your notifications?
soupmagnet said:

Your focused on the word "mount" and ignoring the words *USB drive.* Mounting it in "charge only" mode, for example, does not mount is as a USB drive but a USB rather a USB *device.*

Pretty much since it came out. I was using Hascode's CM9 prior to that.

I tried turning ADB on and off on the KF. Other then that, I dont particularly recall.

The debugging notification.
Seeing as the problem persists on linux and windows, I think this narrows it down to the problem being the KF. Could it be a rom and kernel conflict? I know that prior to do anything with the KF, I upgraded to the latest Fire Fire Fire bootloader and TWRP using the KF Utility. I have not tried mounting the KF as a USB drive with in recovery.
EDIT: Just tested USB via TWRP and am able to browse the sd card now.
I think the problem for not being able to mount from rom is because you have mass storage turned off. Go to settings>STORAGE>three dots in top RIGHT> usb computer CONNECTION>mass storage
If that does not work then go into term emulator and type
su
setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb
Forgive me for not being clear. There are several ways to mount the sdcard partition as a USB drive. Obviously you know you can mount to USB by plugging the device on and selecting "Turn on USB storage", but you can also mount to USB in recovery using the "Mount" function or via the command line using the adb shell. By only saying you "can't get it to mount", you aren't very clear in your intentions or which method you want if only one method is preferred. Your general lack of detail is what prompted my line of questioning to get a better idea of how to help you solve your problem.
That being said, if those other options are successful in mounting the sdcard while doing so within the ROM isn't amd you don't get a mass storage notification, it's likely a problem with the ROM and not the KF.
Have you enabled mass storage?

I didnt mean the KF in a hardware sense but just that the problem lies some where on the KF and not the computers.
Anyways, I have already upgraded to hashcodes CM10, and it works flawlessly now. Not sure where the problem lied but thanks for the help guys!
clearly either with the rom you were using or some setting that wasn`t enabled
Hello, as topic title, I have some issues with my nexus 7 2013 wifi model.
I installed official cyanogenmod 10.2. I would like to restore factory image, but i have some serious issues with adb drivers while usb debug is on.
I installed official google adb drivers, drivers from nexus root toolkit (not all toghether), but when i connect my nexus 7 to my pc (running windows 8 64 pro) there is no way to make him recognize my nexus, and all adb commands fail.
If I disable usb debugging and activate mtp, my pc recognizes the nexus 7, but still can't see the nexus itself in 'my computer'.
i need some help please.
You only need fastboot to flash the stock system images.
that does not completely solve my problem

Restore the stock ROM to see if USB Debugging and ADB is working correctly.

Are you saying your issue is you want adb and mtp to work at the same time and you have them working individually or are you saying you want to restore to factory images? If the latter, the previous poster already gave you the info you need.
Just boot into bootloader using Power Down, then press/hold Power+VolDown

i need debug usb to push updated recovery
i need /would like mtp to access nexus storage for moviing things from/to pc without syncing via dropbox / transfering via usb otg because is a pain in the ass
A few weeks after rooting and installing CM10 on my GS3, it stopped recognizing any form of USB data connection. It still charges from both computer and wall adapter, but I cannot initiate a data transfer or recognize my device using ADB.
I have tried:
three different OEM Samsung cables (from SG3/SG4 phones)
all the ports on two different Win 7 laptops
all the ports on an Ubuntu desktop
enabling or disabling USB debugging
with different combinations each time. No "USB connection" dialog has shown up on the phone, and no "new device" dialog has shown up on any of the computers. I know that I can get ADB working with a different Android phone (HTC Inspire 4G) so I know that my main laptop has USB ports that work and the cables I've tried work as well, so I'm left to assume that the issue is with the GS3. External visual inspection does not suggest the USB port on the phone is damaged, and the phone is only a year old, so I don't believe that is the cause.
Is there a system setting that I may have modified on the GS3 that would disable all forms of USB communication?
(The end goal is to get at least ADB working so I can try and recover some deleted files from the internal memory; I haven't found a reliable method that does not require ADB so I'm trying to get that to work. I know that transferring files on or off can be accomplished with the external SD card or over Wifi but that is not what I'm looking for)
Any suggestions from anyone?
I am not sure. Could be a software issue. I would try backing up your current cm ROM and try installing a fresh touchwiz ROM to see of that works, to rule out software issues. This could also be a android 4.3 issue. Could try stickmount or a similar otg app from the market.

I don't think any OTG app like stickmount will help; I'm not trying to connect devices to my phone. I'm trying to get my computer to recognize my phone (and vice versa) in order to get ADB working.
If I can avoid flashing a RAM I'd like to, because I'm still interested in recovering those deleted files. If that is the only thing that would help, though, then I'll do it. Any other suggestions?
Install Kies and that should get the drivers for the pc in place. Odin should recognize the device when it is in the download mode. If that works, then the pc to phone connection is OK and I'd look to software instead of hardware.
Or, if you boot into your custom recovery, either CWM or TWRP, you should be able to get ADB to recognize the device and issue commands including pulling the files on Internal storage. TWRP also has a file browser built in that might be useful.
I have tried uninstalling any Samsung drivers then using the SGS3 toolkit to install the official drivers, but that didn't change anything on the PC end.
Additionally, I tried finding my device while it was in recovery using ADB and there was no connection indication either.
I currently have CWM installed, but I didn't see a mounting option like I've seen for TWRP. Can I flash TWRP without a computer?
Or try this out: Download mode>Connect via USB>Let Windows download and update all drivers until the notification in the bottom right says it's ready to use>Unplug>Battery Pull>Boot normally>connect again. Voila! It works every time when it's being wonky and its a simple way that doesn't require a bunch of downloads!
installing insecure adb might help
Rebooting into download mode does nothing.
I believe rooting and installing CM10 means I already have insecure adb?
thanks

what next?

I have this same issue, in download mode, the device is still not connecting.
what is the next step? I have followed this thread and have the still have the same issues.
How exactly am I supposed to transfer files to my LG-G2 through TWRP? I remember on CWM recovery on a past phone you can just mount the device through usb drag and drop. Not sure how to put files on my phone using TWRP, my backup doesn't work so I need to download a ROM fresh and put it on the phone. Anyone care to help?

Well normally just connecting the usb data/charging wire into a Windows PC while in TWRP recovery should show a windows dialog trying to install the correct driver which will then show your device and give you access to the files on the "removable drive." If not, try doing it without the LG drivers installed and let windows find the generic MTP drivers and it'll show your phone as a portable device and you will be able to access it.
I'm using TWRP 2.8.6.0 and those steps work for me, I have an extra windows laptop without the LG drivers when my PC is acting buggy for that purpose.

Make sure to install Motorola Device Manager on Windows.
Or use Linux, where everything actually works.
Installed still, device doesn't show up!
Can you try some other port and/or cable ? Or does the device show up in device manager or in the notifications as setting up?

Well i have another Htc phone as well , when i plug it in in recovery it shows in windows as MTP but with Motorola it doesn't show up.
But after installing the system it shows up in windows normally..
@rony925 Your Computer Is Missing MTP Driver Install It Manually
Go To C Drive/Windows Folder Search for WDMTP.inf Right Click on It and Hit Install (Your Phone Needs To Be Connected to Computer During Installation with MTP Mofe )
Thanks i will try it out.
