Ok this is something that happened awhile ago but I delayed it up until now. When I rooted my Nexus 7 using the Nexus toolkit, the program told me to uninstall any drivers relating to android. Once I went through that process, I think I might have uninstalled an important driver because everytime I try to connect any android device to my computer, my computer can see it through device and printer (under unspecified) but I cannot access my nexus storage. I tried reinstalling every possible driver relating to the Nexus 7 and my Optimus G (my phone) but nothing happens. My computer just wont allow my to access my devices. I've also tried googling the problem but there's something unique about the issue I am having. Does anybody have any idea what's going on?
This might help
I suggest following the instructions in this article for manually installing the drivers. Click here to download a zip containing the drivers.
I've had to use this article a few times.
Next time, I suggest using Kingo root for rooting. I've tested it with my Nexus 7 and Motorola RAZR HD.
Ok i have android ADB interface in my device manager but I still cant access my Nexus 7 or Optimus G through my computer. As in when I go to my computer, i don't see my devices and there is no way for me to access their storage.

search in youtube for "Fix Nexus Connection Media Transfer PC Not Being Recognized ", there is a good tutorial.
1) Did you already have tried another usb data cable?
2) Is MTP ON (system settings -> storage -> 3 dots -> usb computer connection) ?

im not sure if ive been looking in the wrong places but i cant find an answer to my problem. so i rooted my nexus 7 about a week ago and installed twrp. everything was working fine until i accidentally pressed wipe data instead of factory reset. i deleted EVERYTHING on my tablet including my operating system, the only thing left was twrp :crying: today my otg usb cable came in and i installed that unofficial cyanogenmod build and now it wont connect to my pc. i have usb debugging on and everything. i go to device manager (on my pc) and it is listed as "Nexus 7" but when i try to install the usb drivers it says that they dont work for it. how can i get the usb drivers to work again?
Note: its not my pc cause my rooted s3 works just fine with my pc.
sorry for being a noob! and thanks for the help!
I actually have the same issue where my Windows won't let me navigate my N7 as a portable device. Tried a whackload of drivers and the like to no avail. To transfer files I just end up using ES Explorer. Funny enough, ADB in recovery works just fine.
If it is the same as PA and PAC, try Settings > Storage > Press Menu > USB > Check MTP

Were you on stock before you wiped? Trying going back to stock and see if you can get MTP working, then start introducing the parts until you figure out what broke.
The USB IDs for the MTP device change more often than you'd expect causing recognition problems.
For example, on stock, with USB debugging enabled, it advertises one USB ID and also sends out a MTP-compatible flag. When USB debugging is disabled, a different USB ID is sent, minus the MTP-compatible flag.
I helped someone on a different ROM force the MTP device drivers to associate, but then the drivers couldn't initialize the device. This might indicate there is a problem on the ROM side.

If your ADB works in recovery then you must have installed some other adb device driver, other than Google's, at some point.

Hey guys. I been here for like 4 hours just dabbling with everything. And cannot seem to find any solution to this...
I have uninstall all drivers and restarted like ten times now doing the same process over and over, cleaning up each file carefully of the nexus or any android device.
My problem is when i plug in my nexus 7 2nd gen, it seems to not even detect squat.
I have usb debug enabled
my MTP is on
( if i switch to PTP i can access the folder)
Ive done fresh start on everything i even look through device and try changing the option to MTP and STILL DOES not work
I don't even see my nexus 7 in my HDD external or anything, nothing pops up but an ADB success driver, and when i changed it to MTP a MTP success driver with STILL no luck....
I just bought it today and it worked fine earlier, now when i root it and stuff it seems to be glitchy with my MTP
I even factory reset everything i couldn't access my ADB
any help would be appreciated
Someone said that manually updating the adb usb driver in devices should show you a choice, choose mtp. It should then sort itself out properly.

On your Nexus, open "settings", click on "Storage", click on options(3 vertical dots on the top right corner), click on "USB PC Connection", now check MTP option.
Try connecting to your PC (or Mac) now. I didn't have to do that on a stock build, but for some reason I had to do it on a couple of custom roms. Hope it helps ya out...
Try enabling USB debugging. I know it sounds odd but its helped me with my devices.

do this only if you can see PTP on PC
On PC check device manger, on Android if there is ADB driver - uninstall it
On N7 set to MTP, debug off and reboot with N7 USB cable connected to PC
It should re-install the ABD drivers on PC before N7 fully boots up
You will be back in action.

Actually for me, it's the opposite. If usb debugging is on I can't access the device to view files. Try disabling it?
yea thanks though everyone I got it to work. I had my old nexus and new drivers mixing up my ports for some reason not being able to access it at all
I have a rooted Nexus 7 (2013) 16gb Wifi tablet, i rooted it using the Nexus root toolkit program, and it successfully runs root-only applications. However, since rooting it, i can't seem to find my tablet in Windows File Explorer so i can add/remove files from my PC to the tablet (such as movies). Device manager recognizes it as Android Device and "Android ADB Interface", as well as charges it while connected. I just can't find it like i used to in file explorer. My PC recognizes iPods and basic phones without problems so i believe its something to do with the tablet's settings or device drivers... I've tried different driver options with my rooted device and they all test as correctly installed, but no luck with file explorer. Help would be most graciously appreciated, thank you.
In settings go to storage. Then hit menu. Should see USB computer pop up. Then set to media.

Ok so I have a rooted nexus 7 that won't show up as an mtp device ever since I rooted another nexus 7 on the same computer. I have uninstalled all the drivers and re installed them a million times with device manager and USBDview nothing works. It connects to other computers as an mtp device, however ever since I rooted the other nexus 7 on the same computer it won't work. Also I don't have access to the other nexus because it was my friends. Obviously it's a computer issue because it connects to other computers as an mtp. I'm really out of things to try as I have searched for this problem, but only found people saying to re install the drivers. I would really appreciate some help because I don't know what to do. Thanks.

I also have weird issues. What I usually do is make sure the Nexus is configured for only one connection. So for MTP mounting I have PTP unchecked and USB debugging unchecked. Then I plug into the computer.
If it doesn't mount as MTP, I find it's usually because Windows has attempted to connect via ADB drivers. So I go into Device Manager and uninstall the device under "Android" while checking the box to remove drivers for the device. Then I unplug the Nexus and plug it back in, and it uses MTP drivers. I've always struggle with these driver issues for the Nexus, i don't know why it's so difficult. Good luck!
When I had issues with my mtp I had to uninstall adb drivers then plug my device back in so it would use mass storage and install the drivers. Somehow I have adb and mass storage working now with USB debugging on.
Check in device manager when you have adb uninstalled and see what your device comes up as.

I uninstall the adb drivers but for some reason windows automatically installs them right back instead of mtp drivers and then if I go to update drivers and select mtp as an option it says it won't work
When I try to install the mtp drivers it says "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while trying to install it...your device can't start" Then it automatically installs the adb drivers. What would be the reason it won't let me install the mtp usb drivers? Has anyone else encountered this?
Hello. Im trying to root my N7 but my PC doesnt see it when I manually run adb or when I try auto root. I have done this before (when I first got it) without issue. Also I do have the drivers installed and the sdk so I am unsure why its not working. Additionally I tried on a 2nd pc and same thing. What am I missing? THanks!

Are you using the latest version of the Nexus Root Toolkit? It's got a driver installation guide to help these kinds of problems.
I often run into this with my Nexus 7. The two settings that have to be properly configured are enabling Android Debugging AND disabling Media device (MTP) in the storage settings (upper right hand corner - USB computer connection). Doing that usually allows the computer to detect the tablet as an ADB device, and go forward from there.
Good luck! Let us know how it goes.
thanks. downloaded the app but getting errors on my laptop (win8). will try on my pc tomorrow. also i should note that i have no problem seeing the nexus 7 in file explorer. i can move files without issue. Its only for adb that i cannot see it. i tried disabling mtp and going into fastboot mode but still no luck
thanks
