When I connect my Nexus 7 to my windows 7 computer it is not recognized in MTP, but is when I change it to PTP. When I connect my 1st gen Nexus 7 to the same computer it is recognized fine and I am able to transfer files. I have all the drivers installed and adb works when I am in PTP I just cant transfer any files. Has anyone else experienced this problem or is there maybe something wrong with my Nexus?
Check out this thread. I was experiencing similar issues although I didn't test out PTP .

Disregard. I figured it out. It was a driver issue after all.
How did you fix it? I have the same problem. Is root needed to view transfer files via USB?
My N7 2013 won't connect with my Macbook Pro. I already have the Android File Transfer app, which works fine with my Nexus 4, but it won't recognize the Nexus 7 2013. It charges, but no connection. Anyone have any ideas?

Might be a silly question but did you enable USB debugging in developer tools.

Yes, I tried it with debugging on and off.

Root is not needed to transfer files via USB. I just uninstalled the previous driver and updated to the latest and that worked for me.
No matter what, I always keep getting error code 10, device cannot be started when I install the new nexus 7 drivers Android ADB device (from the previous posts- Nexus 7 root). I'm not even trying to root, just trying to install drivers correctly.

These are the drivers I used... http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
fixed mine by just forcing it to reinstall the drivers.

How did you force it do that? I've actually never ran into this problem. Windows 8 is what I'm running.

It is definitely a driver issue. I had to uninstall my drivers and then manually install others, because I had a Nexus 7 2012. Those drivers were showing up as *up to date* according to windows, but the device was not working. Total clean install worked to correct it.

In device manager, go to the properties of each android device. I had one near the top of the list and one lower under portable devices. Click update driver and navigate to your updated drivers folder.
It should update them. The device listed under portable devices had mtp as part of the title so I figured that one was the problem.

To anybody who comes to this thread looking for help.
Go to device manager, and under devices remove the Google ADB Driver. This drove me nuts. All of my nexus devices wouldn't connect because they lacked an external SD.

I've tried every suggestion in all of these threads so far & nothing worked. Even after I deleted the ADB drivers, windows 7 would automatically reinstall them. When I tried to update the drivers, win7 said they already had the best drivers (ADB).
Here's what worked for me:
I had to turn off USB debugging, delete the ADB drivers in Device Manager, then reboot the device while it's still plugged in. Windows recognized the device as an MTP device & installed the drivers before it even fully booted.
i installed the drivers from the link in this thread and still no luck, i am running the latest paranoid android rom, and tried it on 8 different computers with 23 different cables and no luck - would it help if i flashed a stock rom ? otherwise i dont know what to do - any help would be appreciated, thanks, chris
edit flashed a stock rom and now it is working again - came right up on my pc, i am selling it today to buy the 32gb and just wanted to get me twrp backups off it

I have the same problem. When I was using stock ROM I could connect fine to my PC. When I installed CM10.2 I can not longer connect. i have no problem when I try it with my phone though.

After helping someone with Paranoid ROM, I think the problem you are experiencing may be on the ROM/kernel side. Part of the problem is the custom ROM was sending out different USB IDs from stock. I was able to help them force the recognition of the MTP device from a driver standpoint on windows, but the MTP device wouldn't start up when windows tried to initialize it.

I switched kernels to stock to jassy to tiny. None of them work so it has to be the ROM. I am just going to use WiFi transfer of files. Nothing major right now while everything is still new to 4.3.

Have you tried flashing stock firmware COC2 with Odin over your current installation with just a CACHE wipe before hand? Are your driver's working correctly on your windows 7? Try the Samsung driver's listed here on xda.
yes i´m very sure that my drivers are working correct, also i have not yet flashed my stock firmware, because i thought i could get the MPT app on my phone running again without flashing the firmware, Many Thanks
PS : I think it is ES Task manager that have killed the mtp app from running in the background on my phone
Hey guys!
I'm new here, but i've read alot on xda since the past few years. I have a Problem with my Elephone P8000 that's driving me nuts.
I wanted to install the Nexus ROM on it, but it already fails at the intallation of the drivers. I'm working with Computers everyday, but I really can't get a solution on this.
My computer (Win7 Pro 64bit) doesn't recognize the phone. I just hear a "connected" sound and then a "disconnected" Sound. The only drivers my PC installs are the Android MTP Drivers, but as I understood, I need the MT67xx Drivers which I can get from the SP_Drivers_V2.0 but it won't work. Including these problems, my computer is now in Build 7601, which I can fix, but maybe that helps.
I'd really like to use this ROM, because of the few bugs in the stock ROM of the P8000.
I hope you can help me.
Best,
TheOnlyCoon

I am using windows 10 so not sure if this method will work on W7 but its worth a try. A great guide from skeleton1911

Great all credit to skeleton1911 though.
I have tried multiple custom roms and different driver versions and still can't get adb to work correctly on my note 2. I have a ZTE zinger as well and ADB works just fine on that. I am using windows 7 ultimate and have not yet tried my macOS install but I just want this to work. Any ideas?
I got it to work. What I did is uninstall the driver and use the skipsoft ultimate ADB driver to install it. Anyone with the same issue can find it here: "skipsoft.net/download-page"
(I would post it as a link but I haven't made more than 10 posts yet so I can't. Sorry for the inconvenience)
