Long story short.
I just got my free 32g card from the promotion so, I'm trying to transfer all the things from my 16g to PC and then to the 32g when I format it. When I hook the phone to my PC I get the connected chime but I don't see it as a drive like Android phone usually do.
Please help fellow G4 owners.

On the phone, in the notifications bar, tap "Media device (MTP)." On the next screen, tap the 3 dot "menu" button, and choose "Install PC drivers." Then, on your PC, in File Explorer, you'll see a new device (LG something). Double-click on that, and it will start installing the PC drivers.
Now, I can't say it's all that useful anyway. Folders I create in the File Manager on the phone, I can't always see on my PC until after I've unplugged and replugged a few times. I can create folders on the SD card through my PC's file browser, but if I try to name them anything (other than the default "New Folder") the operation stalls, the file browser on my PC crashes, and the folder appears on the phone as "New Folder" anyway. I renamed the folder through the phone's File Manager, but on my PC, when I could see the folder, it was still showing up as "New Folder." There are some serious issues with trying to copy between phone and PC.
I've tried many ways to connect my LG G4 to Mac, but failed. AirMore saved me. It's really a terrific app to transfer data between LG and PC. :good:
My G4 H815 used to connect to the pc via USB cable before but stopped lately for some unknown reason. The MTP/PTP/charge only option is not coming anymore. How am I supposed to make a USB connection to the PC?
Any suggestion is much appreciated.
Try another cable, another port, or remove the drivers on the computer and reinstall the drivers.
Yep, sometimes my G4 connects fine to PC, other times it's just plain frustrating. I did as other user said, I uninstalled drivers and reinstalled and it worked. For how long I do not know.LOL
Oh and sometimes I only see internal storage and not external. I guess this is what happens with LG phones. LOL Never had issues like this with Samsung.
Problem solved:
Here's what I did to make my device recognizable.
1. Uninstall all LG Driver/s in your PC, if there's any.
2. Reboot.
3 Go to Start - Then Command Prompt
4. Enter command "shutdown /r /o /f /t 00"
5. Click the "OK" button
6. System will restart to a "Choose an option" screen
7. Then select "Troubleshoot" from "Choose an option" screen
8. Then select "Advanced options" from "Troubleshoot" screen
9. Then select "Windows Startup Settings" from "Advanced options" screen
10. Click "Restart" button
11. System will restart to "Advanced Boot Options" screen
12. Select "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement"
13. Restart & install drivers that came with the device (Accessible through MTP options)
Viola! Your device can now be read by your PC.
Hit thanks if that worked for you

i have had a rooted G1 for about a year and a half. i just recieved my Evo this morning.
the issue is I open sync on my pc, connect the phone and select htc sync from drop down. htc sync on the phone says that my vista pc does not have sync.
i have tried installing sync from the stock sd card and downloaded from htc.com
nothing seems to work. i saw similar questions asked several times but not clearly answered. if anyone can offer some suggestions i would be grateful.
Try uninstalling HTC Sync from your PC. And then reinstall the one from the website (it's the latest version compared to the one in the SD card). After installation run HTC Sync and connect the USB cable to your PC (don't connect the other end of the USB cable to the Evo yet). Then connect your Evo to the USB cable. If it doesn't work, try restarting your PC and then connecting it again. If it still doesn't work, try a different USB cable. I don't know if it will work but those are the procedures I'll be doing if I'm in your shoes. Sometimes USB cables and it's accompanying software are not that Plug N Play as we want them to be.

Attempting that now. thank you.
I did as you suggested, even used my wife's data cable for her pre. and still nothing.
just to clarify...all i (should) have to do is open sync on the computer and then choose sync from the notification dropdown after connecting to usb, right?
maybe someone else has had and fixed this problem? i am unable to root without htc sync working.
2) Make sure your phone is set to USB debugging
3) Add the downloaded Vista drivers folder to the aforementioned location.
4) Go into the Device Manager (Start > Control Panel > Device Manager) and look for 'ADB Interface' or similar and expand that.
5) Right-click on the item under that and go to properties.
6) Click Update Driver and then "Browse my computer for driver software".
7) IMPORTANT STEP: Click the link, "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
8) Click "Have Disk" and Browse to the location where you put the HTC Driver folder and open the Vista 64x folder.
9) There are two INF files in there. Choose 'htcrndis.inf' and click Open.
10) Click Okay and the device shown will be "My HTC". Select that and click Next to install.
sorry to be annoying. it is killing me to not root this device. any help?

is this folder in the sdk? where do i download from?
ok. so i go into device manager and and the "my htc" device has a triangle with a ! in it. under properties it says windows cant initialize the device driver. i go to driver properties and find "C:\Windows\system32\Drivers\ANDROIDUSB.sys and CWindows\system32\WdfCoInstaller01007.dll". i go to the appropriate folders and delete them and then install C:\Programfiles\HTC\HTCDriver\DriverFiles\Vista_x86\htcrmdis.inf i do this based on someones advice. i then reboot the computer, go to device manager, plug in phone, and the drivers are right back to "C:\Windows\system32\Drivers\ANDROIDUSB.sys and CWindows\system32\WdfCoInstaller01007.dll"
which driver in the htc drivers file should i be using?
Shows up on my laptop but not on my desktop, have tried back and front USB ports
have uninstalled USB drivers, reinstalled USB drivers (universal adbdriversetup6 downloaded from xda sources)
downloaded android SDK manager and installed whatever USB stuff it had there
used USBdeview to remove any nexus 7 related things and then re-install USB drivers
Cannot for the life of me figure out what's going on... can anyone help me please
When I plug it in my desktop it makes the sound like something got connected... even has the safely remove hardware thing with nexus 7 there, but nothing in my computer
also have tried with/without USB debugging
tried removing my rom and flashing stock etc
Nothing has worked so far
and yes forgot to put in the title but this is for the Nexus 7FHD 2013
Is there a chance you are using usb3.0 port and can switch to usb2.0?
I would suggest you backup, flash stock, and redo your driver deinstall/install on stock. Try to get it working there first. Make sure USB debugging is disable on stock.

Driver instal with WinXP
I went around with this problem after both my Win7 laptop and WinXP desktop both recognized my N7 2013 the first time I connected to them. I had no problem dragging and dropping files.
I had then returned the tab back to BB for a exchange for another. This time after setting up the tab and setting the MTP file toggle and USB settings correctly......The Win7 laptop worked find and recognized the N7 just like it did on the first tab. But now the WinXP desktop did not work and only saw the N7 as a ABD device.
You may already have the correct drivers (if not those are available here in several posts). You just have to direct windows driver update to the correct place for the MTP driver. Here is how i did it.
1. Open up the Device Manager on your PC and locate the Android device it sees. Select the update driver option and you get to the "Welcome to the Hardware Update Wizard" screen.
2. In this window it asks "Can Windows connect to Windows Update to search for software?" Select the 3rd option ' No, not at this time"
3. In the next window "This wizard helps you install software for...." Select the 2nd option "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)
4. In the "Please choose your search and installation options" window... go down to the bottom and select "Don't search, I will choose the driver to install" option.
5. Now finally the window we need..... "Select the device driver you want to install for this hardware" The "show compatible hardware" button should be selected...if not check that box. You should see 2 choices in the "Model" area..... Google Nexus ADB Interface" and what we need to select " MTP Device" click on the MTP Device and hit next......it should install and your Nexus 7 should then show up properly.
Hope this works for all that have had a hard time as I did....I just found it odd after getting a replacement N7 my XP desktop did not recognize it as it did to the original one I used the day prior.

If nothing else here has helped you solve this issue, check my thread, it should be of some help to you...
I'm having an issue where I can connect to my laptop in debug mode, but I'm not able to connect in the MTP mode with debug turned off. I expected to be able to mount the device storage in either mode.
Is that correct? If so, any ideas? I do notice I can't seem to get the MTP driver to stay in device manager.

Using USB - C cable to connect my N5X to computer, but the computer won't recognize, load new drivers or anything. I vaguely recall having to set something on my old N4 so resolve this issue, but can't remember what it was. Is this because of the C cable?
Thanks in advance.
Did you checked the USB debugging and also set it to file transfer instead of charging??

Thx Leontine. I had forgot to enable USB debugging, although I am still having issues. When I select "Use USB for: Photo transfer (PTP), I can see the DCIM folder on my phone within Windows Explorer. But when I select File transfer, I don't see anything. What am I overlooking?

Sometimes your computer can install the wrong driver by default
Computer>Device Manager
Assuming you have downloaded the latest usb drivers from google
Find your android device right cllick update driver software> browse my computer >let me pick >Google Inc>Android ADB Interface>Should be good to go..
OR
You can use add on software something like pdanet+ and you should be okay

Yup. You have to manually select the USB mode every time you connect the phone to PC. It gets tiring quick, but not a deal breaker.
You shouldn't have to mess with the USB debugging feature at all. I was running into the issue where it would install the driver and even show "Nexus 5x" as connected but not show up in Windows Explorer, regardless of what connection I set the phone to. Connection settings are available by just pulling down the top menu once the phone's connected.
I went into Windows Device Manager (while the phone was plugged in) and uninstalled and deleted the drivers under "Android." When I then unplugged and plugged the phone back in, it worked. On a side note, it now isn't shown under USB devices or even in the Device Manager, but that doesn't really matter. It's showing up in Windows Explorer.

I'm still not successfully seeing my N5X in Windows Explorer when selecting File Transfer. Photo Transfer works. When I go into Device manager, I found my N5X (listed as a Portable Device and only seen when in PTP) and attempted to update the driver>Browse my computer>Let me pick...Don't see Android as a manufacturer. For what is it worth, I am running Windows 10.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
In the notification center you have to choose the connection mode. It isn't the same as in the developers options...
Thx AlphaGeekV2. From the notification pull down, I chose "File Transfers" but still cannot see my N5X in Windows explorer. Any other ideas?

Try it on a friend's system with W7 and see if it works there. If so, it's something with W10, and we can diagnose further.
When I connect Nexus 5X to a Windows 10 PC, I can't see it in File Explorer.
Many people said that one should change the option from charging only to MTP in the USB connection notification, appeared when plugged in. But I don't even have that notification, and cannot find the option anywhere else.
In Devices and Printers, there's a Nexus 5X under Unspecified; and in Device Manager, I can see a "ACER ADB Interface" there which I assume is for Nexus 5X. I tried to download Nexus driver from Google buy it seems is the same with the ACER ADB thing and is not helping.
Any tips or solutions? Thanks in advance!
PS. First xda thread started by me, yay!
UPDATE: After awhile, maybe it's because I slid the screen while connected, the notification did pop up. But EVEN after I chose MTP, there's still nothing in my File Explorer...
Hiya,
I had the same thing happen on my 5X. I was only able to get to the "Use USB for Charge / MTP" dialog by enabling Developer Mode.
To do that: Go to Settings / About Phone, and scroll all the way to the bottom.
Tap "Build number" seven times. On the sixth tap, you should see a message that says "one more tap will unlock Developer mode" or something to that effect.
Back-arrow to the Settings main menu.
Click on Developer options
Look for Networking / Select USB Configuration.
Choose the mode you want.
The notification should appear when you plug in the USB cable to your computer.

could be a driver issue?
download and install latest usb drivers.
Go to My Computer> Properties>Device Manager> Find the android device>Right Click update driver software>Browse My Computer>set to folder where you have usb driver saved and go from there?
You can also try to let me pick (instead of browse local folders) and pick the google ADB interface from there.
I have also had success in the past using other software (PdaNet) to manage the whole installataion of drivers; but this adds software to both phone and computer ... may or may not be useful.
After re-reading your first post its definately driver related. It shouldnt say Acer just ADB Interface or google adb interface.

Check Device Manager, is it listed as ACER Device? It probably is. It happened to me. Select the device, mouse right, update driver, choose "let me pick a driver" or something simmilar. Then you should get a list of compatible drivers and 2 entries, the current ACER driver and some generic USB driver. Choose the generic USB driver. That did the trick for me.
This i got from reddit . I had the same problem today this link helped me .. hope it helps you too

@arpan_pratik, Thank you! You are the best! This is exactly what my problem is and I solved it using your suggestion!
Although I didn't yet find any useful information from reddit regarding my issue, you must used some magic keywords
@The_Automator, thank you, too! It indeed is a driver issue. I tried many times to update the driver or uninstall the ACER ADB driver, but none of them worked. Didn't realize that it is Windows chose the wrong default driver. Don't know why, maybe it's because I installed adb before?
So, for the record, here are some key points to solve the problem:
The wrong driver for my Nexus 5X showed in Device Manager is ACER Device\ACER ADB Interface
No use to install Nexus driver from Google, even use "Browse my computer for driver software" and search the extracted Google driver folder. Windows will say the driver is up to date.
So I have to do this: In Device Manager -> RMB on ACER Device\ACER ADB Driver -> Properties -> Update Driver -> Browse my computer for driver software -> Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer -> check "Show compatible hardware" -> choose "MTP USB Driver" (this is a Microsoft driver under "standard MTP Device" category) -> Problem solved!
Then I can find my Nexus 5X in Device Manager here: Portable Devices\Nexus 5X
After the right driver installed, if I try again to update the driver using ""Search automatically for updated driver software", Windows 10 will actually install the wrong driver (ACER ADB) back!
Thank you all in this thread to help me exclude other possibilities, lock down the culprit and finally solve the issue!
Just got a Nexus 5X, and I'm having the same problem under Windows 10. I don't see an Acer device in Device Manager though, I see a "Nexus 5X" under "Other devices" with a yellow triangle exclamation mark.
When I tried following the steps, I don't have "Show compatible hardware" nor "MTP USB Driver". When I tried installing "MTP Device", I get an error "The install class is not present or is invalid."

Yeah, and it's been a while so I don't remember exactly, but I think it was a different cable that made it work.
I've switched to a Droid Turbo 2. The 5X didn't have enough battery life for my usage.

If you have other android devices that is working on your PC, you'll notice that the driver used is the "wpdmtp.inf" you can get it on your 64-bit Windows on this location:
"C:\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_wpdmtp.inf_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.16299.15_none_42867195f7d5106b\wpdmtp.inf"
Locate this file via device manager and choose "MTP USB Device"
And viola! You can now transfer files again in your Nexus 5x!
I am in the same boat but my PC stopped recognizing my phone at all. PC will see all my other devices including my pixel 2xl. But every since that Nov update I believe my PC's and diffet cables does not show up at all. Have read all the threads and so far nothing has worked for me.

Did you get it working again? I have 2 other phones working fine but the nexus5x disappeared and cant get it back. Even deleted the cache and the data for the System apps named "External Storage and Media Storage" as some suggested. Shows up as unknown device now.

Nope, was never able to find a fix. If you do please let me know.
Yes I got it working. Since longer USB cables only shows unknown device I installed android development system and it made no difference.. But I had a 6inch charging cable that came with my power brick and I tried that and viola the Nexus showed up.. Not as a nexus 5x like before but as something like romaster composite ADB interface or something and I was able to flash TWRP recovery so now I can at least get access to it. Backed up the memory to a flash drive.. Have not flashed SU or anything yet but that should not be a problem with TWRP installed.. And like usual it takes a few flashes and rebooting into TWRP for it to stick other wise the recovery goes away.. Still dont know why the longer USB cables make any difference.. I even tried it out on a USB extension socket which is a 20 foot long USB extender and that also works.. So it must be something else like when I had the MB changed the adapter I was using did not work for data transfer.. Might be using some wire that is missing in the longer cable..
Ok, I have a really big problem that I've discovered recently and that is my G4 can't connect to my laptop with MTP or PTP. All it does is charge the phone.
Edit: My G4 h818p is rooted.
*uninstalling and reinstalling - LGUnitedMobileDriver, LGMobileSupportTool, LGBridge_Setup done nothing
*tried different cables - doesn't help me
*uninstalling MTP driver still not working, and adds to my problem because now my laptop wants me to install Media Format Feature Pack for Windows 7 N with Service Pack 1 and Windows 7 KN with Service Pack 1 (KB968211) but I don't have Windows 7 N or KN
*checked an update on my laptop for MTP drivers or Windows Media Player but they're not showing
There's one solution I want to try, installing new windows 7 but that will be a big hassle for me since I have tons of applications to download and install again and not sure if that will help. :crying:

Ok, I have a really big problem that I've discovered recently and that is my G4 can't connect to my laptop with MTP or PTP. All it does is charge the phone.
Edit: My G4 h818p is rooted.
*uninstalling and reinstalling - LGUnitedMobileDriver, LGMobileSupportTool, LGBridge_Setup done nothing
*tried different cables - doesn't help me
*uninstalling MTP driver still not working, and adds to my problem because now my laptop wants me to install Media Format Feature Pack for Windows 7 N with Service Pack 1 and Windows 7 KN with Service Pack 1 (KB968211) but I don't have Windows 7 N or KN
*checked an update on my laptop for MTP drivers or Windows Media Player but they're not showing
There's one solution I want to try, installing new windows 7 but that will be a big hassle for me since I have tons of applications to download and install again and not sure if that will help. :crying:

The same thing for me.. I already did everything except installing a new os, still unrecognizable. This occured after flashing a rooted image.

Possible Fix
I had also faced that problem after i rooted my g4 H818n. it was not connecting with the PC in any mode.i have tried different laptops which had windows 8 to win 10.1 but nothing worked.also my Bluetooth was not turning on.only thing will fix this is for you to flash a compatible .kdz for your H818p using LG UP and select Refurbish . you can take a backup with lg backup software in mobile and later can restore everything. Than you can try rooting again. That's how i fixed it for my mobile. now everything is working fine again. Hope it helps.:fingers-crossed:
How can we use LG UP if our device can't be recognized on the first place?

If you have bluestacks installed on your PC, kill anything Bluestacks related in Windows Task manager. This always causes problems for me
Does this work for you folks?

put it in download mode, turn off your mobile fully than push the volume up button and connect the cable to PC.it will take the mobile to download mode than open LG UP .it will detect your phone. at least it detected mine. try first, hope it solves your problem:fingers-crossed:
Isn't it volume up button instead of volume down?

Problem solved:
Here's what I did to make my device recognizable.
1. Uninstall all LG Driver/s in your PC, if there's any.
2. Reboot.
3 Go to Start - Then Command Prompt
4. Enter command "shutdown /r /o /f /t 00"
5. Click the "OK" button
6. System will restart to a "Choose an option" screen
7. Then select "Troubleshoot" from "Choose an option" screen
8. Then select "Advanced options" from "Troubleshoot" screen
9. Then select "Windows Startup Settings" from "Advanced options" screen
10. Click "Restart" button
11. System will restart to "Advanced Boot Options" screen
12. Select "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement"
13. Restart & install drivers that came with the device (Accessible through MTP options)
Viola! Your device can now be read by your PC.
Hit thanks if that worked for you
