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.

I've never had a problem with android file transfer up till I rooted today. My wife has a stock Nexus 7 and I can plug her Nexus into my computer and the file transfer app will start. I have usb debugging turned on and the usb connection on my tablet is set to Media device.
Now as I'm typing this my Nexus has been connect to my mac for about an hour. I just went to the USB settings to make sure I had Media device selected and the file transfer window popped up out of nowhere. I killed it and tried again and it won't come up. Maybe in an hour or so if it does the same thing.
Any ideas as to what's going on? Very strange behavior.
Disable USB debugging.
Unplug/plug in your nexus.
The USB IDs change for some reason when you have USB debugging turned on and the MTP device isn't recognized as such. PTP (camera) mode continues to work for both cases though.
Thanks for the suggestion but It still fails. I disabled debugging and still can't connect. Switching USB modes didn't help either.
If that doesn't work uninstall the adb driver & then plug your tablet back in so it will reinstall
My next suggestion would to reboot the tablet with USB debugging turned off.
If that doesn't work, my next suggestion would be to delete the existing drivers and force reinstall.
All with USB debugging turned off.

Make sure after you plug in your device you're looking at your tab and click OK on the pop up........
Sent from my Nexus 7
Thanks for all the suggestions. It's working now. I was just about ready to delete the driver and the tablet started to be recognized consistently. I was in the settings screen and toggled debugging on and off while plugging in the tablet. I noticed the info bar at the top alternating between showing "debugging" and "media device" and I selected each one a couple of times when they came up. I think that it finally worked through the ID confusion that was mentions. I'll follow the the rest of the instructions if the problem comes back.
Thanks again.
It's acting up again so I'm going to try deleting the drivers. I thought I knew what to do but I can't find any information. What's the procedure to delete the driver? I'm running os x lion
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'm not sure how I finally resolved the problem on my mac. I toggled debugging on and off and rebooted a couple of times. That may have done it. I also ran the adb script in the SDK platform-tools folder. I don't know what that script does exactly but possibly it reinitialized the driver and ID.
Anyway, hopefully these workflows will work for others.

Rooted my nexus 7 (2012) last night and struggling with my laptop not recognizing it. This thread solved it!
Delete the ADB on my window, toggle off debugging and restart the nexus 7 with usb connected to laptop. works like a charm.
Thank you!
Guys, my N4 got this problem too.. until just a few minute ago
I read somewhere ini goge groups (i think N5 group), and found explanation that we can change ADB or MTP "mode" on device manager. On "Androoid ADB Device" right click and select "Update Driver Software". Click "Browse My Computer for Driver Software" and then "Let me pick from blablabla...." And then select MTP USB Device, "next" and my N4 detected on Windows Explorer.
Hope it will be usefull for you guys.
Anyone else have troubles connecting via usb with windows 7. I enabled developer options and turned on and off usb debugging. Tried a few different sets of usb drivers from LG and still can't get it to show up in windows explorer. It makes the usb BEEP when connected and doesn't show any errors in Device manager but just won't show up to browse files. Any ideas? BTW I have a GS5 and HTC M8 and they boh connect to this same computer. Not the G3 though. Go figure.

try these ones worked for me
Wow, I would think this would be easy (coming from a Nexus 5), I just plugged in the N5 via USB to my Windows 7 machine and boom, I could browse the phone. Now, trying to do this with my G3, I have installed Windows drivers and nothing. I plug the phone in and nothing happens other than a pop up on the phone saying it is charging slowly. I've searched the LG site and Google and found references to MTP and having 3 options when connecting the phone to the PC but I get none of those options and cannot find an MTP option in settings. All I can find is a Connect to PC which tells me to use LG PC Suite. I really don't want to install some other software. I just want to browse the phone and copy files over. Is this not possible with the G3?
Switch usb ports. Set up usb connection as MTP.
Huh? As mentioned, I don't get any options to select MTP. Drivers installed, various USB ports tried, nothing happens other than a slow charging pop up.
Edit: Seems the system at work for some reason does not see the device properly. Just tried at home on my PC and it's fine. Bizarre.
If it's a work PC, it is possible your system admin disabled MTP completely. Because, you know... security and stuff.
try going on your phone while it is plugged into the pc
I set USB connection as File transfer, previously I was able to see it in my windows computer under portable devices, but after I disabled some system apps of Firephone, also disabled most permission of running apps and disabled auto startup options of the apps, I can't see Firephone in windows now, though adb debugging still works.
Any ideas? Thanks.
I checked it on another computer, it works, so it's my computer's issue.

Check Device Manager for any USB or even Android or Fire Phone items that have an exclamation point on them. If you see them then remove them, and the driver installed with them. If you phone is connected, you will have to disconnect it and plug it back in.
USB will not function with my OnePlus 3, I've loaded drivers and still no avail.

As regards the attaching of files, you have to have a minimum number of posts to be able to do that.
As regards the USB, be a little more specific like what you are trying to do, which ROM you are running, whether you are rooted, what happens when you connect the phone to PC etc which will enable the members to help you.
There could be several reasons for this, but lets start with the basics.
Have you tried a different cable?
Have you selected File Transfer (MTP) from usb options?

I get a windows sound like its connecting then in the bottom right where the time is next to that is a root sign then I get a pop up saying exactly.....The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it. Recommendation.. Try reconnecting the device. If Windows still does not recognize it, your device may not be working properly. When I go to the Device Manager/Control Panel it doesnt do anything. I've tried to add adb to the path but maybe added it to wrong path now it won't come on. If there is a work around maybe to re-add to right path. Device Manager was fine before I added adb and added path as per internet search. Device Manager before would say something like error 39. I've tried MTP that doesn't get it to open up either.

I cant even root for the life of me now, Im on 8.0, I'm trying to just root the phone and to start the computer has to recognize it I understand but it won't, with my Oneplus 2 was fine,(I'm thinking maybe phone doesnt have the drivers built in to the file system, you know when you plug in and turn on MTP it shows the drivers app for Windows?) the only thing it errors plugging in.

On my son's pc running windows 10, I didn't have any issues connecting my OP3 to it and viewing files, nor did I have to install any drivers, same for Windows 7.
Hook phone to pc via usb cable.
Pull down notification bar and select "File Transfer" from usb options or go to Settings and search USB and select USB Preferences > File Transfer.
Browse phone from Window's file manager.
If still having issues, you can try and install Oneplus USB drivers, reboot pc and see if the phone can be recognized.

For some reason it's working now don't know what the problem was or even if it was something I did. Either way it's fixed.

If you are running Win 10, you will have to disable driver signing before the correct drivers are installed. May be that was your issue.
