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.

I had a HARD time trying to get the GS3 to connect to my PC (like a lot of other peps)
Here is my solution:
Update the pc completely using Microsoft Updates.
Download the following:[URL=http://depositfiles.com/files/jfh66znxv]http://depositfiles.com/files/jfh66znxv[/URL]
Un rar and copy the INF files (2) to your windows inf folder. I found that 1 of my original files (Microsoft installed) was actually the problem!
Install the Snapdragon Toolkit and install the Samsung driver using that software. (First option)
I already had done it via manual installs a number of times, but they never worked. This install using the toolkit worked.
(I only used it to install the Samsung Drivers)
Rebooted the PC and ran the toolkit again and saw the serial number in the ADB window, confirming a connection!
Rebooted the pc and connected the SG3 via the usb cable and it showed the files after a short moment!
All is Good!
Hope this helps someone make theirs work and alleviate all the aggrivation.
BTW:
There was not any problem with the Samsung software, It was the PC that had the problem!
I had that Samsung MTP error and the INF file installaion actually fixed that problem, so I included them in the file to download.
If this works for you, plz add a tag to this thread so that others will know this works.
Anyone know about the issues with connecting to Mac? I cannot connect with MTP or ptp only easy ums app works but I'd like to mount both of the SD cards

Hello there, I got a new Nexus 7, running build JSS15J. Right out of the box everything worked fine. Upon connecting to wifi and updating to 4.3 the device would no longer connect to the computer. The only driver that installs when the device is plugged in is the Google Nexus ADB Interface. (And I still cant see it as an ADB device)
I plan to ultimately root the device, but cannot do so. I've factory reset the device, and still no connection with the PC.
I'm fairly certain it is not my computer as my Galaxy S4 still connects to my computer and is recognized.
More Info: The tablet connects through PTP (camera) mode and allows me to transfer files that way, but will not connect any other way.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44523227&postcount=101, it worked for me. I first used WUG's tools to unlock and root. Need to go to development option in settings, to allow debugging. If you don't have it, go to "about phone" and tap 7 times to activate.

I was planning on using WUG's Tools (already have them downloaded). I have debugging enabled and have disabled both MTP and PTP, still WUG's tools do not recognize my device. (my computer does not recognize it either)
The link you gave me solved the computer problem! I can now transfer via MTP! THANKS!
Next problem: WUG's Tools still do not recognize my device...
EDIT: Solved, just put it in PTP (camera) mode and it worked perfectly
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) ?
.
So I unboxed this badboy maybe 2 hours ago, rooted, TWRP'd, but for some reason, Windows Explorer and WugFresh's toolkit won't detect the device. Here's where it gets odd. ADB command prompt detects it, that's how I rooted it, but WugFresh's toolkit doesn't. Nor does Windows Explorer and this is a pain when I'm trying to put all my music on here. Please note I have enabled USB debugging.
Also, it gets detected in PTP mode, but I don't have R/W access in PTP.
Any help?
UPDATE: Issue fixed, can a mod remove this?
Hey friend, same problem happened to me, my PC did not detect it but it got detected as ADM whatever
Try this, it may work for you, go to start on your pc, open device and printers, in that maybe your nexus 7 would be tagged as unspecified.
Open it up..... oh damn I forgot how I did it....
see open it up, and i think you have to select properties, and maybe you will find your nexus 7 with a different name, mine was names as Samsung Android Device, try uninstalling . Then remove your tablet and connect it again in PC, and also make sure your connection in your nexus 7 is MTP
it should work right now.
At least that's how I got my nexus 7 2013 to work.
Sorry if I didn't explain it properly, I just forgot how I did it.

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?
