Problems connecting to PC on latest JB leak from Baadnewz

I am having issue connecting to PC (on XP here but also issues on Vista 64 at home). No matter what I try I can't access storage to copy to/from my PC to my phone. I understand that JB now uses MTP rather than USB Storage, but having spent about three hours now trying to find a solution I have to admit I am completely stumped
Having tried many options without success, and having installed and uninstalled HTC Sync at least six times I have started again from scratch reinstalling everything I could think of which might have a bearing. I have just reinstalled the full SDK, installed Windows Media Player 11 (for MTP), reinstalled .NET 4, installed latest version of HTC Sync, but still when I connect I get an error in device manager with Other Devices>Android Phone (also get the Hardware Wizard popup which always ends up saying not installed/could not locate software even if pointed directly at the Google USB driver folder in the SDK so it's obviously not this), and in HTC Sync it always shows no device connected. Fastboot and ADB both see it (devices). If I disable USB Debugging then it is recognised as an MTP device but then the Android Phone error kicks in and Sync doesn't see it.
This is my issue:

Both of these are taken with the phone connected to PC, and whilst connected I can run ADB commands!
What am I missing? This is driving me mad

Try the Universal Naked Driver.

Hmm, found it - it's just drivers for ADB/fastboot which I don't have an issue with. This is my issue:

On the Android device in device manager right click then uninstall, tick delete drivers if the tick box is there (sometimes it isnt)
Keep doing that until it doesn't even say android device (it will keep reinstalling it) it should say unknown device or something similar. Then reinstall the htc driver software and try again
Windows buggers up like this sometimes, has several drivers for the same thing, AFAIK its a case of getting rid of all the "spares" and installing just the one driver
Hope this helps

Updating from 4.3 to kitkat

I have resisted updating my rooted Nexus 7 running stock 4.3 (JSS15R) to kitkat but am now ready to do so.
I know to do a nandroid backup (is doing it via rom toolbox good enough? ) and a fresh tibu backup.
But I have some last minute questions.
1. should I just accept the ota update or as recommended elsewhere should I use the file from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2380113
2. will the update make me lose root? Can that be prevented? (I always have trouble getting the correct drivers to access the Nexus)
3. any other precautions?
Finally : to prevent accidental update before I was ready, I had renamed the system update file when it first downloaded. Now I don't remember where I found it and system will not re-download it with a message that verification failed.

Its a nexus device, even if you lose root, it takes like 3 seconds to root it again.. I want to say doing the ota when I first got my nexus 7 did not result in losing root, but I might be incorrect on that one..

I know that is true for most people, but it always takes me a couple of days to get the right drivers working for my windows 7 laptop to communicate properly with the Nexus. Then, once adb and fastboot can access the device, you are correct and the rooting is a breeze. That is why I cringe at having to go through that again.

The drivers are simple.. Just Google "nexus adb drivers" and download them from Google directly. Once you have them downloaded go into device manager, find your nexus, right click it, and select update driver. Choose the have disk option and navigate to the nexus drivers. Should be all set after that. I'll research where the update is stored on your device and reply in a minute.
EDIT: All updates should be downloaded to your /cache partition.

My /cache contains 3 folders
Where would I find the ota update file? Maybe I can install it directly.

If memory serves, when I looked for it before, it was in a "fota" directory under /cache. Look for a zip file.
I don't believe you can install it directly, nor would I want to try anyway.

Once you find it, delete it and then redownload it

Pc not reading my s3

K guys I have an S3 and its 4.3 stock rooted . For some reason my pc has stopped reading / recognizing it.
I remember it working fine at first being connected to my PC and the drivers installed on their own and it allowed me to transfer files between the two simply connected via USB. However one day this stopped happening and my computer does not recognise my S3 at all, i've uninstalled and installed USB drivers multiple times along with KIES with no luck at all.
My pc is also running windows 8 ver 8.1
Ive have tried searching this issue and all I keep getting is old reports from 2011! And nothing really solving the issue
Any advice / help / tips would be wonderful
Thanks

Have you tried to connect your S3 to another PC? With this test you can understand if the problem is with your PC or your phone.

Hmm... no I havent tried that
Unfortunately all my friends and family live so far from me I really dont have another one to use

I've had that issue with several PCs. Have you tried going into Developer Options and either enabling or disabling USB debugging? I've had some that like it enabled and some that don't. Actually my main PC goes back and forth on that one. Also, have you tried a different cable?

Yeah I have tried four different cables four different brands
And Ill have to try the debugging

I'm having the same issue. USB debugging on or off, my S3 stopped being recognized by my PC. It used to be just fine. IIRC, when I installed the MK3 kernel from here was the last major change to my phone. I think it was sometime after that it stopped being recognized. Haven't found a solution.

[Q] GT-N7100 Soft-Brick

Hey Guys
1- I'v rooted my GT-N7100 long time ago (couldn't remember the method but the developer said the methood doesn't make any alteration to your device, Just root privilege. even doesn't install CWM)
2- I'v installed CWM through "ROM Manager" android app last week.
3- Installed some 4.4.2 ROMs but all unstable, crashing in few minutes. (All the ROMs got good comment 'n I think there is a problem with my device!!)
- DN3 (Ditto Note 3) ROM
- JellyKatv4
- CM11 ROM for Galaxy Note 2
- BLUE LIGHTNING
4- Decided to flash official 4.3 firmware downloaded from: "http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=12202" through ODIN, but got "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again“ message.
5- Decided to unbrick with ODIN, but every-time it fails (tried different ODIN versions 'n different USB ports)
6- Tried to do so with KIES, but it does not recognize the device (Stucks on connecting message, troubleshooting doesn't effect). Also tried "Tools> Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" option directly, It crashes in EVERY STEPS.
So if u have any Idea to fix this, please share!

Verify you've correct drivers installed and a working USB cable. Have you tried flashing your phone under PDA Tab? With only 'Auto Reboot' checked.

You need to go to the usb connected in pull down and select usb 3.0 mode....by default the connection is in usb 2.0 mode
Not sure if it will work on mac, but that method works on pc

I would agree with you here, however, when I first got my Note 3 and connected to my MBP (same model as OP), it used to display the option, but ever since NB4 and beyond I haven't ever seen the option again.
The only thing I haven't tried, is launching Android File Transfer before plugging it in to see if that makes a difference, but I uninstalled that due to NE6 (and beyond)'s ability to show the internal and external sdcards as mount points.

after more research it apears more and more that the USB 3.0 is related to driver issues and not yet supported in OS X .... ill be setting up a bootcamp with windows 7 soon for testing but i'm almost certain its a issue with being supported under the os and not hardware...
