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.

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
The MTP connection appears to work on my laptop, but on my desktop (with the exact same drivers manually installed), the device doesn't work. It shows up in Windows and I can open it to see the folders in the phone and the SD card, but the files become unresponsive quickly. Example:
Plug in the phone
Navigate in explorer to my music directory and open it.
Half of the folders load and then it hangs up. The directory bar at the top does the loading animation very slowly. The rest of the contents never load and no file operations can be done. Trying to view My Computer or looking at the portable device properties also hangs up.
When I unplug the phone, the contents I was trying to load seem to appear for a split second before the windows close.
I'm pretty sure I have the drivers set up correctly since it's working on my laptop, which has the same version of Windows. But my desktop can't work with the MTP connection. If I try to sync the phone with media software, it hangs up and is "scanning" forever.
I've tried different USB cables and ports, front and back.
I've scoured the web with no luck. A few similar problems are mentioned, but no solutions. I'm guessing the issue is somehow with my desktop. What should I be looking for?
Galaxy S3 T999
Android 4.1.1
Windows 7 Professional
Sounds like buggy Samsung drivers to me.
On your PC, try installing the drivers in my signature.

The 1.4.6.0 Samsung driver is what I used. Like I said, it works on my laptop (also on my work PC). But my home desktop shows this weird functionality.
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.
Problem when trying to do the samething over USB connection. "Nexus is busy"
As a description I am in trouble when trying to do samething over USB connection, if I try to move some internal file to folder in folder on nexus a pop-up shows up saying "wainting: Nexus 5x is busy", the worst thing is that if I close the task I lose all the file I was moving. I tried to reinstall all the drivers, google drivers, windows drivers....but nothing changes. I'm working on Windows 10 x64.
Im sorry if I wasnt able to let you understand!
Hey guys,
I'm facing a problem: my W10 PC won't install the phone's usb drivers at all. It stay with the yellow sign and can't find the drivers anywhere - not even through Win Update.
I searched for them everywhere I could and without any positive results.
Do you know or have the USB drivers for this phone so I can install them manually?
On my laptop, there are no problems and I tried exporting all the drivers installed on the laptop and load them onto the PC but didn't find any driver so the PC could extract them. I can't access my internals on my PC cause of this.
Anyone?
Thanks in advance.
Solved: Apparently, Windows 10 Home Ed. is not capable of installing any kind of USB drivers (MPT, file transfer, fastboot, USB-debugging - nothing worked) for the device but re-installing with the Windows 10 Pro version, the phone got detected instantly and fully without any problems. Razer CC wasn't helpful at all, this time.
