My screen died and would like to know if there is a way to get my data off the device before I have to send it back.
The device is not rooted.
I can put it into bootload mode using my old cappy dongle.
I tried bootloader mode and connected it my PC and ran ADB devices but nothing shows.
Any suggestions?
I would suggest booting normally and copying what you can through your PC's file explorer. If you enabled debugging, you should be able to pull the files through ADB.
I am having a problem when I connect my N6 to a computer.
I can use fastboot commands and I can connect when I check the 'Camera PTP' but when I select MTP to transfer files it isn't 'seen' by my computer.
I have tried everything (well not 'everything as the problem is still here )... changing USB cables, deleting drivers ect wiping my phone and reinstalling stock rom but all to no avail.
I have read about this fault http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/82059/adb-not-working-but-fastboot-is but I can't find a solution.
Any help out there ?
What camera app are you using? I would try a different camera app, or uninstall and reinstall the camera app, sounds like that's the issue. The fact that you can run ADB commands tells me the computer see's the phone, give that a go. I use "pro capture" it's like 3.00 but it is one heck of a snapper.
I only have stock camera at the moment. The problem isn't with the camera as the computer sees 'PTP' and I am able to transfer files that way.
The computer doesn't see the phone when I select MTP file transfer.
I am on Windows 10.
FYI - I have the same issue with Windows 10 not seeing my N6 via MTP, but I still can use adb/fastboot commands with it, and use adb push to push files to it. To move files to/from my phone, I use AirDroid.
I have two Nexus 6s, one completely stock and one that I just upgraded to Marshmallow. I downloaded sdk and minimal adb and fastboot today in order to install marshmallow. I just plugged in my completely stock unmodified Nexus 6 into my computer to get my photos off my stock Nexus before I send it back to amazon and although the phone charges, nothing pops up for it being a storage device, I switched it between MTP and PTP on the phone but it does nothing, the phone does not show up, same goes for the Nexus 6 that has marshmallow on it, also switched that to MTP. My computer detects the phone because it allows me to eject it from usb but that is about it. Anything else I can try? trying to get pics off the old Nexus before I send it back.

btw adb sees the phone no problem
I have the same problem. Windows seems to recognize the phone, but it displays no content when I try to browse files.
Just did a clean flash of the factory image.

Ok, I'm an idiot... here's the solution:

nope that does nothing on my phone, both are set correctly at MTP or PTP, nothing works
BTW when I eject the USB it lists it as "android adb interface" I have a feeling that is why it is not showing up?
Mine just says MTP when I eject it. Did you try toggling USB debugging on and off?

I deleted the adb driver and that fixed the issue but that can't be the correct way because I think it would be pointless to have to install and delete the adb driver each time I want to use it? I knew it was more computer related than phone related but what is the correct way to make the phone work with a adb driver installed on the computer?

I honestly don't know. I've always had mixed results. Sometimes it would work automatically, sometimes I'd have to manually install the google drivers when the phone is in the bootloader.
Had the same "problem", to fix it and for windows to show the contents of the phone, you just need to pull down the top drawer and select mtp file transfer from the USB options. It is set for " charge only" as default. Try it out!

Pull down the status bar and set charge only to transfer files

Exactly: it is not a problem, but just a new way to manage USB connections. You just have to pull down the status bar and choose one of the USB options for your Nexus 6
lol you guys aren't understanding, I did that and it did not fix the issue. The phone was still not recognized as a storage device. I also tried a Nexus 6 that was on 5.1.1 which does not have the charging only option in the drawer and it also was not recognized but once I deleted the adb driver from my computer, my computer saw both as storage devices when I put them into MTP mode
Go into developer settings
Make sure checked Debugging on
Then Scroll down
Look for MTP CHange it to something else in the settings
then back MTP Your computer will then see it it bug in 6.0

Hi guys I reaaly need your help!!
1. so basically what happened is my screen is dead but phone is not! i managed to connect the phone to my work pc via usb cable and copied all the data i needed.
2. then somehow the pc hard drive died and i installed a new SSD one but unfortunately i accidentaly deleted a cruical partition on the faulty hdd so all the copied S6 contecnt is now gone.
3. dont ask me how but now, on my new freshly installed OS on my new ssd, i connect the phone again and try to access its folder but nothing is there!
** could i have somehow deleted a samsung partition as well through the windows 10 installation process? (seems unlikely i think).
** could the phone be displaying a question about how i would like to use the usb cable (charging only or data transfer)? if so why would this suddenly happen?
** I tried connecting to another pc but same issuer persists. the driver installs but cannot see files.
** could it possibly work on my home pc because it was previously connected there?
** the icon on the pc is that of a media transfer like an mp3 player. when i access it there are no files but when i right click i dont have an option to add folders so i'm guessing this maybe a permissions issue?
how can I access the files on the phone?! THANKS!!!
just to update i got it all sorted out trying to press randomly on the phone apparently i managed to access the files so what i can understand is that the phone keeps a list of all the pc's its ever been connected to and a setting of which connection type to allow this pc.
As soon as i formatted the pc, the phone recognized it as new and probably asked my if i want charging or data transfer. somehow i managed to chose data transfer!
Thanks a lot anyways and have a great day
Hello,
I got my phone brand new about 4 months ago. I rooted it and got TWRP installed with no issues. Fastboot and ADB were working fine but now when I try to connect my phone via USB and use ADB I get unauthorized whenever I type adb devices. Typically this happens because your phone is prompting you to allow the computer to have root access but I am not getting that popup window at all.
Things I've tried;
Uninstalled ADB/Updated ADB
Deleted adbkey folder under C:\Users\name\.android
Stopped and Started the adb server again after computer and phone reboot
Deleted ADB_keys folder on android in \data\misc\adb folder on phone itself, followed by a restart
Turning off then back on USB Debugging
Turning off then back on USB Debugging & Developer Options
(Including Revoking USB Debugging Authorizations both times)
Even tried copying the following from PC to phone ~/.android/adbkey.pub inside the /data/misc/adb/adb_keys
Still no luck, I'm not sure why it would just stop working out of nowhere. Nothing has changed since I used it a few months ago.
Also another strange occurrence is that if I turn off USB Debugging / Developer Options then reboot. Once the phone gets to the home screen both USB Debugging and Developer Options are enabled again without me doing it.
Anyone else have a similar issue and figure it out?

Go Here and download the Fastboot drivers. follow the directions on the razor dev portal. I had the same issue and this fixed it for me. https://developer.razer.com/razer-p...94.1708481542.1586624574-305520188.1586475530
If your adb-server is not started with root/admin rights, your phone will never prompt you for authorization unless you choose a different USB Mode (MTP, PTP, etc.) than Charge Only. I suspect this is done to prevent certain malicious actions being performed without the user being aware.
If you start your adb-server with root/admin rights (by typing "sudo adb start-server", make sure you've killed your existing daemons before doing so), you can use ADB while in Charge Only mode, provided you've subsequently authorized the PC to do so. However, unlike normal adb server, the fingerprint may occasionally change and you may need to redo the authorization again.
