Please help me, noob

Ok this is my first nexus device and I love it but this one particular problem is making me crazy.

1st I should clear some key points of my problem.

#I purchased my nexus 5 on the 22nd December and haven’t rooted it since March 1st.

My mobile always and I mean always stops responding if I keep it plugged in in my computer as fast as 1 minutes or some times less. For this it is very difficult for me transfer pictures, videos or other Files (MS office or PDF.) some time the file transfer broke in the middle I have to try 3-4 times just to send some music (mp3) file in mobile. Also my computer stops responding and only retort after I remove the usb cable from phone or computer.

I have tried almost everything to clarify the problems. But nothing actually works. I have tried. I have tried 3 separate Pc,s and one laptop. Same problem.

#Weg fresh method (USBDview and uninstall everything)

#Tried USB MPT device installing method.

#Fresh windows install.

#Mobile Wipe and root wipe and different roms (Mehdi And purity).

#And have tried these

[1. Enable USB debugging: Go to phone settings -> About -> Tap build number repeatedly until developer menu is enabled. Go there and tick USB debugging.

#Also tried UniversalAdbDriverSetup7, PDA and Naked driver.

2. On your PC, go to your device manager (when the Phone is plugged in and set to MTP), locate the phone, right click on it -> properties

3. go to the Driver tab

4. click Update Driver

5. click Browse my Computer for driver software

6. click Let my pick...

7. select USB Composite Device

8. finish up with the assistant ]

#Also this

P.S sorry for my bad English

Well first uninstall your WugfreshToolkit and learn how to use adb and fastboot. After that uninstall all usb drivers and install the Google usb drivers from the sdk platform-tools, that should solve your problems. And don`t blame your phone, its your lack of knowledge that casuses your issue ;)

MTP mode works for me just fine on my Windows XP PC.

You have to disable USB debugging in developer options. I think the device won't connect to the PC in MTP mode with USB debugging enabled because the device is setup to take adb commands.

If you still can't connect to the PC in MTP mode after turning off USB debugging then you have a PC driver issue.

Thanks man. I used samsung and sony phones but never faced similar problems with those phones. Now i use airdroied wifi transfer works very well. Not using USB cable transfer at all.

And I am not a developer, and if a cell phone needs extensive knowledge to operate I'd better avoid it. Soon will buy Galaxy series.

Google left bug which prevents users from connecting to their PC's in mtp mode.

I don't think so because Google left that bug in android which prevents android devices from connecting to PC's in mtp mode. Didn't you read my reply carefully, if you go to the Android Open Source forum and you read the thread entitled "Issue 38282: Android MTP support does not show recent files until the device is rebooted " you'll read about the fact the files in an android device cannot be viewed by windows, they can only be viewed by the app that created them within android. However, if you reboot an android device while it's connected to a PC, then windows sees it and thus connects to it. Right now I can only connect in ptp mode and besides what drivers are you using ? Did you or someone you know here in this forum have this problem previously ? If so, then how did you solve it. Let me know, and in return I'll press that thank you button, ok, later...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdrc45:
Well I can tell you what transpired... I was having MTP and fastboot driver issues when I was trying to unlock the Bootloader and root my lenovo a2109 tablet. I finally got the fastboot driver installed but I was still having MTP driver issues. I did a lot of research on MTP and tried a lot of solutions. Something's that I did was update windows media player to 10 or higher, I installed mtppk12 = MTP porting kit, Microsoft user mode drivers, installed Android SDK, Java and .net framework 4.0 I also have the latest version of Microsoft ActiveSync installed as this added additional USB drivers for my PC to communicate with my windows phone.

I have all kinds of drivers installed on my PC. I have my N5, 2 other lg phones, 2 Samsung's, 2 Tablets, a Huawei, all are android devices and a HTC windows phone. MTP mode works on all of them except the HTC windows phone obviously, but USB debugging has to be disabled and I don't have to reboot my phones to get them to connect.

When I connect my N5 to my PC with only MTP selected and check in device manager it shows up under "Portable devices" as "Nexus 5" when I right click on it and select properties, then click on the drivers tab and select, driver details it shows 2 driver details -

1. "C:\windows\system32\drivers\wpdusb.sys" which is WPD USB driver

2. "C:\windows\system32\drivers\wudfrd.sys" which is Windows driver foundation - User mode drive framework reflector.

It shows the same driver details for all my android devices and lists them under portable devices in device manager by there names. eg. Nexus 5, LGMS 769, LGMS 770, A2109 and so on.

I'm still searching how to make my N5 recognized by my PC on fastboot mode.

When my N5 is on, no problem, it shows as a portable device on device manager. But on fastboot mode it's not there.

NB: I have debugging mode enabled.

Can't get drivers to read my Nexus 5 on Windows 8.1

I've been trying to read through this thread if anyone has been trying this using the newest version of Windows 8.1. Please tell me there is a way to get these drivers on 8.1 to root my Nexus 5. So far every Youtube video is from people using Windows 7. What's going on here? Even on the Google site to download the latest Driver it only has a walk through from windows 7 and earlier.

Hello,

I'm really sorry to post here. I tried really hard to connect my Nexus 5 to my Windows 7 x64.

When I plug the phone to the computer, it's charging, but there is no windows "beep" proving it saw the device. There is nothing in windows device manager : no unkown device, no yellow mark, no ADB driver, No Nexus 5...

UPDATE : when i uncheck both MTP and PTP, Windows "beeps", but says he can't install driver for "unknown device". In fastboot mode, the phone is well seen as "android bootloader interface"

UPDATE 2 : I upgraded to Windows 8.1 Update 1, same error.

What I tried :

- Remove all drivers, including removal with USBDeview

- Add lines to %WINDIR%\inf\wpdmtp.inf as written here : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37930602&postcount=937

- install Google USB driver, uninstall, reinstall...

- install drivers from SDK with platform tools ("adb devices" shows nothing but "List of devices attached").

- changing usb cable (i'm currently with the one provided with the phone), and USB port

- restarting phone

- enabling / disabling MTP, PTP, and USB debug

- I tried "adb nodaemon debug" as written in the first post, the answer is : "system/core/adb/sysdeps_win32.c::socket_loopback_client():socket_loopback_client : could not connect to tcp:5585" (I don't think it's helpful)

On an other computer (same system), it tells "unknown device installed".

On a third computers, everything works fine.

On a 4th, Windows 8.1 update 1, nothing to do : same problem than with my personal computer...

I really need help :(

Thanks in advance!

Did you follow the step in the original post beginning with "right click on the unknown nexus 5 device..."
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madoxav:
I tried, but as I said, there is nothing related to Nexus / ADB / Composite / Google driver in Windows Device Manager...

Even with "set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1".

But there's something new : I wiped the Nexus 5.

First plug, everything was OK, nice! So I tried to transfer some photos. But the upload was very slow, and finally stopped with an error.

And now, same as before : The N5 is not recognized anymore...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxRabbit:
So you do not even see "Unknown Device" in device manager?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madoxav:
No I don't.

I'm beginning to think that perhaps there's an hardware problem with the phone itself..

What I didn't try, is a non-stock ROM. Perhaps I'll give a try. I see no other solutions; but the strange thing is, on one computer at work (Win8.1 x64, same as mine), the phone works everytime.

It's exhausting :)

Look in the general forum on how to flash the factory image and return to stock
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianbmb:
I did my best to search this thread for a solution. I apologize in advance if it has already been resolved, but I did not find it.

I am having issues surrounding two different versions of ADB existing on my system. I have updated ADB to version 1.0.31, but when I open a command prompt Window and type "adb version" it still shows as version 1.0.26. However, if I navigate to the directory with the actual adb program then it displays the correct version of 1.0.31.

My path variable is set to the directory with the most up to date version of adb. To my knowledge, the older version of adb should not even exist on my system. The drivers and everything else works fine once I navigate to the actual folder, but I am trying to correct the issue with the path variable so I don't have to consistently run down the directory tree.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aburn95:
Mine won't show in my device manager anymore after doing a factory reset with Purity rom. I was going to try and flash the stock image due to some dead pixels but it won't connect the normal way or through command prompt/adb. When I try in with cmd prompt it just says "waiting for device." I had zero connection issues prior to starting to try and go back to stock.

I tried deleting all things adb/driver wise and reinstall but that didn't help.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tripleR123:
Hello,

So I also had an issue with the drivers.

The ADB drivers would not get installed no matter what I tried. The yellow triangle would not disapear.

I saw somthing simillar here but i'm not sure its the optimal solution.

I'll write it here so it might help somone if it hasnt been writen yet.

after you download the USB drivers and unzip it you get file called android_winusb.inf

open it

and add this line in both locations [Google.NTamd64] and [Google.NTx86] :

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_D002&REV_0232

so it will look like this:

;Google Nexus (generic)
%SingleBootLoaderInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4EE0
;;;;;;;;this is the added line:
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_D002&REV_0232
;;;;;;;;
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4EE2&MI_01
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4EE4&MI_02
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4EE6&MI_01

the end of this line might need to be changed.

Go to device manager > right click on the NEXUS 5 yellow triangle > properties > details tab

in PROPERTY select> hardware IDs and change the line accordingly.

Save the file

and reinstall the drivers manully from this directory.

Nexus 5 only recognized through Camera (PTP) mode

I have instead the yellow triangle in 'Device Manager' under 'Samsung(?) Android Phone' and under that: 'Google Nexus ADB Interface'.

I tried the above solution to no avail. Right now what I do is move the files I want to a folder under Camera mode and after I move everything where I need it with a File Manager straight from the phone.

Why is it no problem to get to see the Nexus 5 as a camera and nearly impossible so far to see it as a media device?

Hopefully someone finds a working solution.

I'm about to give up. I've spent hours reading everything on here and trying most of it. Nothing works.

EDIT: Don't know how, but I finally got the driver to install. I just tried the same thing I tried like 20 times before, and it worked. All is well, and I'm now running a custom ROM. Wooohooo!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I have a question regarding ADB in TWRP and here's my problem:

1. I have fastboot and ADB drivers installed properly (by the way I have never had so many problems installing drivers than the N5 - wth Google?)

2. In fastboot mode the phone is properly recognized with the command "fastboot devices" and I have used fastboot to root, install TWRP and even to go back to stock once. No problems here.

3. When the phone is booted, it is properly recognized by adb with the command "adb devices" and seems like all is good

And now the issue

When I boot up in TWRP - nothing, just nothing

- Trying to mount system and/or data results in nothing

- "adb devices" comes up empty

I really want adb to work in recovery mode as I prefer to use it as a backup in a worst-case-scenario if something goes wrong but right now this isn't possible as I can't "adb push" any files while in TWRP. Does anyone have tips what to do regarding adb in recovery mode? The TWRP version installed is 2.7.0.0 so it shouldn't be an issue with an old recovery version.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Sorry I don't have any words of wisdom. But I've also struggled with the exact same issue. I can not for the life of me get adb to work in recovery on my pc. Fortunately, it does work on my pc.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
So I'm not the only one.. Unfortunately I don't have a second PC to use so sucks to be me then :( It's really unfortunate that if something goes wrong my ONLY option is to flash completely stock with fastboot because I can't push a backup through adb to recover from. How can a simple working USB interface be so difficult for Google when past Nexus' have been just fine in this regard?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dechronic:
I have attached the latest drivers from the Google SDK Manager for Windows 32-bit and 64-bit.

I had deleted my drivers to remove any libusb drivers and just reconnected my phone and these drivers worked, with ADB while booted normally, in the bootloader and in recovery (see note).

Note: For Windows only. If this is first time you are connecting the phone, click on the device installation icon in the taskbar and click skip obtaining the drivers from Windows update (Windows Vista - Windows 8.1) it will try preconfigured folders but will probably not find them.

EDIT: If drivers were already attempted to be installed but failed. Open Device Manager (alternatively "devmgmt.msc").

Right click Nexus 5 and click "Update driver software" (alternatively click "Properties", click the "Driver" tab and click "Update Driver")

Click "Browse my computer for drivers software" (as per Windows 7) or something similar and point to the folder where you have extracted the zip file.

This will work for the phone booted normally and for the bootloader.

For recovery mode there are a few extra steps.

For recovery do: (I am using Philz touch recovery so this may not work for your recovery)

1. Click "Browse my computer for drivers software" (as per Windows 7) or something similar and THEN click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer".

2. Click Have Disk

3. Browse to the folder with the drivers.

4. Click Open

5. Click OK.

6. Click on "Android ADB Interface"

7. Click Next

8. You will receive a message that Windows cannot verify that the device driver is compatible, still, Click Yes.

9. The driver will install. Click Close

10. ALL DONE!

you may have to delete the device in Device Manager completely, unplug & replug.

When it auto detects, make sure it has Android ADB Composite selected and not something else. You may have to manually update the driver (select from a list on computer) and tell it to use the ADB Composite driver.

Unable to see my Nexus 5 on PC as a storage device despite everything...

Hi Everyone,

I've been struggling with this issue for 2 weeks now, where I've been unable to read my phone (Nexus 5) on my work PC despite all attempts. I'll quickly try and give the things i've tried and would hope someone can help me getting the desired output:

Note: My nexus 5 is not rooted, neither would i prefer to do that

1. Used developer options to check USB debugging

2. Have MTP ticked in the storage section (tried unchecking, checking multiple times)

3. Deleted everything from Device manager and tried to re-install using google drivers.

4. Also tried using the SDK tool kit to update the drivers and have the latest version, still failed

5. Tried killing and starting adb server via the command prompt, but nothing helped and it continues to show phone as 'unauthorized'

6. Had the RSA authorization prompt and ticket (always remember) and ok, but still device appears as unauthorized

7. Used Nexus Root Toolkit (only to disable all drivers) and install again, but failed there as well.

8. Tried using CurrPorts to see if any ports are blocked, but couldn't understand the application, so didn't help as well.

I have multiple attempts of trying various drivers through device manager but nothing helps...also please note, that my phone if used on any other laptop, is recognized and works as external device and i can look / delete / modify data...it just doesn't show in my work laptop which is Dell Lattitude E7240.
