I'm having trouble getting my windows 7 pc to detect my nexus 5x. It doesn't even show up on the device manager. I bought a USB C to A adapter and I'm wondering if it's the adapter that's causing the issue? How are you guys connecting your phones to your pc's? I can't even pull it up as a removable storage device to transfer files let alone unlock the bootloader.

When you plugged it in did you go to Notifications and change from Charging Mode to MTP?
I actually had to uninstall the driver software and let my laptop "find" it again and all was fine.

my Evo wont connect to CPU any more ive tried reading all the other threads but still not working
I just want to flesh out some of the details here.
Is the phone charging when you plug it into the computer?
Is there any activity from your PC or the phone when you select "Disk Drive" from the USB menu? (Like maybe a USB error/not connected sound in Windows).
Are you able to access or see it through ADB using the SDK?
Does it work on any other computers?
Have you done anything recently? Did it just happen today?
usb connection not working
I'm having the same problem--my original usb cable was damaged, and I just bought a new (generic) one. Does the EVO require a special type of cable rather than just a standard micro usb?
Here's the details:
USB Debugging is enabled.
Phone is set to ask for connection type (default is disk drive).
Phone charges when plugged into the PC but the computer doesn't recognize it.
In the notification bar, there is the usb debugging icon, but not the other one that usually says charge only/disk drive, etc.
ADB doesn't see the phone.
So far I haven't been able to get to another computer to see if it does the same thing. I tried disabling usb debugging, no effect.
update
Ok, yesterday I got my phone replaced because the screen was damaged. I also got a new usb cable; this one specifically for the EVO. Same thing. I plug it into the computer, and it charges, but the PC doesn't recognize it, and the phone just seems to think it's plugged into an AC adapter. The phone is set to ask what to do whenever I connect it to a PC. Since this is a brand new phone and cable, I would think this would have to be a computer issue, but the PC doesn't seem to recognize that anything has even been connected.
Update: solved--it was the usb port. For some reason the usb ports on my pc case stopped working; plugged into one of the back panel ports and it works fine.
Any microsd cable will work, I'm using my palm pre's now, my htc cable went out a month ago.

Chevk device manager whole you are plugging your phone in. just in case there is some bad driver issue, it should show there.
Swyped from a galaxy far far away......

I've read a couple places that Mac 10.8 won't recognize the Galaxy Nexus. Is this true? USB debugging is enabled, my phone charges when connected to the Mac but Android File Transfer doesn't recognize the device, nor does it show up in the status bar. I've been using DropBox which takes forever but it's the only answer I've found.
Thanks for your help....
It's really strange, my macbook pro recognize my gnex without any problem. Maybe do you have fast charge enabled?

Dang....it's not set to fast charge, at least that's what my ROM is telling me. Are there various places to check and see if it's fast charging? My old Mac worked fine so I don't know what the problem is but it sucks
And if you run in terminal an adb/fastboot command, when the daemon's started does it recognize the device?

I know how to get to the terminal....can you explain the rest?
Try disconnecting your USB cable first. Wake your phone from the lock screen and connect the USB cable again. Should be recognized by Android File Transfer. Try to keep the phone from sleeping by setting the display option to sleep only after 10 minutes (or whatever you want). For some weird reason, the phone has to be awake for the macbook to recognize the device (in my case). I hope this solves your problem :fingers-crossed:
Same happened to me. Try unchecking usb debugging and then plug in usb. Should work.
Well, maybe the two way above are easyer and could help, try with them. However it's a strange behavior, my gnex it's recognize even if it's in stand-by and with adb debug active!
This is so frustrating.....no luck.
I don't know what's wrong but when I plug my phone into my computer it doesn't connect at all it will show it's charging but that's it. I can go into developer mode and tell it to connect PTP or File transffer but it doesn't pop up when I plug it in, nothing happens just a slow charge.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks
So turns out it won't connect to my late 2012 MacBook pro with Mojave installed won't even recognize that there's anything on the end of the cable at all but with Bootcamp and Windows 10 installed it works just fine.
Unfortunately that means I have lost 60gb of prime HDD space
I just purchased a mint condition Pixel 1 XL on ebay. It arrived with Android 9. I should have plugged it in then to check if USB file transfer mode would work. But I just assumed it would since I've never had a problem with any device in the past: various apple phones, samsung tablet, google nexus tablet.
So I updated the phone to Android 10 before I plugged the phone in, and then discovered it refuses to recognize my device for file transfer, only for charging. It does not show up in device manager at all, even though it is charging. The phone makes a sound to indicate it is charging, but it does not pop up with anything to ask if I want to connect to the PC. The phone 100% acts like I just plugged it into the wall instead of a PC.
OEM unlock is enabled.
USB debugging is enabled.
Default USB configuration is set to File Transfer mode.
I already installed the latest android_winusb driver.
I've rebooted both the phone and the PC.
I've tried plugging it into 3 different Windows 10 PCs with google android usb driver installed. Only one of those PCs has samsung android drivers installed on it. The others only ever had iphone plugged into them. So there shouldn't be any drivers interfering that I know of.
But no matter what, it only charges the device, it never recognizes it in device manager.
Since I bought this off ebay, it did not come with the official, original USB cable.
I'm praying maybe it's just the third-party USB cable causing the problem. But I can't find any cable that is verified to work for File Transfer. Do you know where I can buy a cable like this? Link please?
If it's not the cable, is there any way out of this situation? If I can't get device manager to recognize the phone, I think it's impossible to flash the phone back to Android 9 or something to see if Android 10 broke something???
I've already read some really scary posts online of other pixel phones of various models simply stop recognizing their phones in device manager and they never get it back. It becomes a fancy brick that works as a phone, but you can't actually do anything with it because no PC will recognize it.
I was excited to try a pixel phone for the first time until this happened. What the heck, Google?
Ok I think the stupid trick is you have to UNLOCK the phone BEFORE you plug it in. If you plug it in, and then unlock it, it will never give you a notification asking to connect to the PC no matter what you do.
As someone used to iphones, at least iphone says "unlock me" when I plug it in and it doesn't properly connect. But plenty of other times it will connect to device manager even if I don't unlock it.
Kinda annoyed Android doesn't say anything at all when you plug it in without unlocking it first.
