I have an Amazon Fire 8 HD and I'm currently trying to transfer an OBB file I have on my PC to my tablet's OBB folder via a USB cable... However, I'm not having any luck... When I try to do this, Windows 10 makes the jingle noise and the transfer fails with no notification. That said, transferring the OBB file to other folders doesn't work either as I tried a few others including the downloads folder. Any help with this please?
Note: transferring any other form of file such as APK works fine, it's just OBB that fails.

I have tried with file manager and found the files i was looking for in android/data/something but when i connect my GN to my PC (win7 32bit) i only get a few folders and files,
I have tested with both USB modes and I only get the basic folders such as
Alarms, Android, DCIM, Downloads, Movies, Music, Notifications, Pictures, Podcasts, Ringtones.
and the file manager reports more folders present :/
also the files i'm trying to access are within the android folder (which is visible on PC) but in filemanager there are 10-20 folders found in android/data that are missing on PC. PC only shows 3 folders in android/data
It also appears to be possible for other users to access the exact same file at the exact same filepath, why can't I?
is there a feature on GN or ICS that makes it impossible to access some files from the PC or is this a bug/flaw?
in case you guys need to know what files i'm trying to access, it's the game files to GTAIII
I kind of have a similar problem.
When i connect my phone to a windows 7 computer it mounts okey and shows me the files. If I create a folder on the phone from windows explorer, unmounts the device, I can not see this folder on the phone via a file manager unless i reboot my phone. This also applies the other way around. If I create a folder on the phone from a file manager, then mount the phone to the computer, I can not see the folder until I reboot my phone.
Is there a fix for this? Is it a bug? How can i resolve this? It's very frustrating.
MTP/PTP doesn't offer all the features the full USB transfer mode has. Search will help you find the pros and cons of this.
Workaround: Use an app like WiFi File Explorer or Airdroid.
Strange issue there... I use FTP server app from Olive Tree to transfer files (mostly MP3 files) on Gnex. I switch on Ftp server, run filezilla on PC and the files are successfully copied. But, if I open Music Player or "3" player, music is not recognized. So I connect Gnex with USB cable to my LinuxMint 13 and folder "Music" (where I have downloaded files) is empty. So I connect Gnex with USB cable with win7 and the folder "Music" is empty. But, if I open folder "Music" with file explorer directly on Gnex, the files are correctly there, and if I open them from there, they are played without any problem. Why? Is there a way to fix that?
Tnx
up.. nobody have the same issue? Or any idea?
Hey everyone @crpalmer tagged you in case you could help
I am running Jrummy's Root explorer on the phone searching for some pictures on Dropbox.
I FINALLY found them in the /Mnt/sdcard/Android/data/... but i can't figure out where to copy and paste these imgs to so that my computer can 'see' them.
When i plug the tablet into the computer all that comes up is Internal Storage with 9 GB available and inside that i have only bare files like Alarms Android etc. But NONE of the folders have any of the phones files.
Basically i can't see anything on my tablet through my computer.
I tried pasting the file on System/root but the computer still doesn't show it!
Regards
Silkmeister1
UPDATE: i managed to stick a TINY 1 mb sd i had laying around and that changes things to where my i could copy things to the sd card and the computer sees that, but now the issue is the .jpg won't open correctly as they are too large or corrupted
wondering if this is a permissions issue
Hey everyone,
I am trying to copy my Titanium Backup files from internal storage to my computer's hard disk. I plug my VS9854G to my USB2 port and it links up (MTP), fine. I can select the files in the TB directory but when I "paste" them in a directory on my computer I keep getting an error message "error copying files or folder" about 8 files into the copy process and displays a dialog box (error copying files or folders), and it quites.
Is this a long-file-name issue or linux-to-windows device storage, or permissions types issue? Anyone having this issue. I know it is something right in front of me I am just missing.

i had the same problem. solved it with making a zip archive on the phone from the titanium folder and transfer this to pc.
Thanks for the reply
Many thanks but to tell you the truth I was able to do to CMD/DOS and use "Xcopy"".....it's gotta be permissions?

Hello, today I plugged my phone in to try and transfer some photos I'd taken earlier, and to my surprise could not see the photos in the DCIM folder. Using FX File Explorer I can explore that folder just fine on the device itself, and see everything.
This problem seems to be affecting several folders, but not all of them. Sometimes it affects different files in the same folder differently. For example, I have some .pdf and .apk files in my Download folder, which I can see on my phone, but on my PC I can only see some other files in that folder, including a .zip file. The issue appears to be based on the date the file was created, as outlined in this post in Google Support forums. I had no success with the cache-clearing of External and Media storage system apps outlined in that thread. I had success with being able to view all my /Downloads/ folder items by putting them in a subfolder and then bringing them out again into Downloads. The trick did not work with the DCIM folder for some reason.
I am rooted, but this issue has persisted through at least one re-flash of a stock image (I just updated to the newest July build without wiping all my data).
The only thing I can think of is that I ran this command to change the permissions of /su/bin when I was trying to get Android Pay working and perhaps that screwed something up? But wouldn't that be reset after the stock image was flashed anyway? Or would I need to wipe to do that? And even so, it still doesn't explain why it only affects certain files and folders.
Thoughts on things to try? Is there any way to undo that chmod command? FX File explorer says my current permissions on that folder is 0755, could that even be causing the issue? Apparently the change to 751 failed.
The issue persists using different USB cables and ports on my PC.
Did you have any luck figuring this out. I am having a similar problem as well.
I have always been able to transfer music from my computer to my nexus5X's Music folder with no problem. Today, something isnt working right. When I plug the 5X into my computer and select File Transfers, I can see all my files on the 5X. When I select the Music folder, it opens but only shows 237 songs. When i look at the folder on the 5X is shows 1016 songs. For some reason when connected to the computer it cant see all the files in the music folder. Also, when I try to copy a file to the music folder windows give me an error and says "The device has stopped responding or has been disconnected" If i try to copy is somewhere else on the 5X it works. I just can send it to the music folder. What can I do to fix this?
I actually noticed this before the update to 7.0. I used TiBU but the folder was not there. Using root explorer I can see the folder. I placed the Titanium Backup folder into another folder and then I could see it via the PC.
I uses a usb 3.0 port on the PC , have not tested 2.0 atm.
This is a typical MTP bug, just find & clear 'Media Storage' system app data, reboot. Dont connect PC before media scanner service finished.
You will lose media playlist, though.
