Hi everybody I received an LG optimus 4x HD, but the *** phone doesn't get recognized by Ubuntu as a storage device, seems to be because the cell phone have windows media player sync, and lg installer. Thus, I managed to recognized it with ADB is not a cool option. so, i need to know:
Is there any way to recognize it without using ADB that comes with android SDK on console?
It's possible with mtpd. There are some tutorials around on how to connect the Galaxy Nexus, and all the newer android devices use that mode. It's a bit tricky though, for me it didn't work on the first attemp and I haven't tried since. One workaround that many recommend is to use a ftp server on the phone; another way - preferrably for small files - would be using Dropbox/Google Drive or something like that.

thanks for the advice, I've searched this and is solved. I installed gMTP trough the Ubuntu software center, then I connected my cell phone. opened gMTP program. Pressed the connect icon and there I have a basic graphic interface to move files to my phone and from my phone,
Update:
now my pc detects it automatically. The trick was to create an udev rule for the cell phone like when you want to debug on the cell phone.
the idea is to create the file /etc/udev/riles-d/51-android.rules
on the file should be this line:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="1004", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
give permissions to the file using $:chmod a+r
then rebooted my computer and now recognize it automatically when is it in MTP mode,

Once i got my new nook color i rooted it with auto nooter, and im running 1.0.1, on my previous nook i rooted it and adb worked right then, now i cant get adb access, im using the same computer and everything, all thats diferent is its a new nook. I have full root access and can install apps and everything. Any help?
Seems to be a common problem. You can launch NookColorTools and fix it temporarily. Go to "Development" and then unchecked and then recheck the USB Debugging box.
Ok I've been doing that for a while and finnaly got the message that USB debugging is only for development. It works now......

Get ADB wireless, it works great.
I've had zero luck using usb adb, but adb wireless works great!
I was having similar issues so after many many attempts I just decided to go with adb wireless and would definitely recommend going that route if you can't get it working over usb.
Yeah, getting ADB to work requires a lot of uninstalling/reinstalling drivers and unplugging/replugging the device, it's very temperamental.

once you've installed adb on your computer type "adb" at your terminal prompt and you should list of commands there.
here's the link to Android Developer's ADB website (this also lists commands):

Good luck!
Ok so me being my dumb self forgot to install the adb drivers for the nook....... im dumb haha, but i cant get them to install, every time i uninstall the mass storage driver so i can install the proper driver it automatically re-installs it....... HELPPPPPPP
Is there any way to download this to the SD and install it from there? I've upgraded to a version of froyo, which doesn't have the market, and my command line won't work after swapping nooks.
I can't seem to get mine to work with either adbwireless or via usb.
Using USB I get this:
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>
Here is what I get if I try to connect using adbwireless:
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb connect 192.168.2.4:5555
already connected to 192.168.2.4:5555
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
192.168.2.4:5555 device
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>
But it doesn't show a serial number like all the HowTo's says it should. What am I missing?
EDIT: HALLELUJAH!!
I fixed it. Actually I didn't fix it, I just followed some instructions from another user that was having the same problem and finally figured out the very weird thing that installing the drivers did. Anyway, here is the solution from hacku:

I followed your instructions to a T and I still can't get ADB to see my NC. After uninstalling all instances of Nook in my device manager, unplugging it and plugging it back in, it adds all the same devices:
Under Disk Drives it lists B&N Ebook Disk USB Device (twice)
Under Portable Devices it lists MyNookColor
Under USB Controllers it lists USB Mass Storage Device
My PC is Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. Running Nook Color 1.1.0 rooted and overclocked to 1.1Ghz. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
EDIT 2:
So I decided to pull the MicroSD card to simplify things. Uninstalled all instances of Nook from Device Manager and scanned for new hardware. This time I noticed that Windows detected it as a Nook, but then would install the drivers and it would show the same USB Mass Storage Device and the two instances of B&N Disk USB Device. I also noticed that by uninstalling the driver of the USB Mass Storage Device automatically deleted the other two instances under Disk Drives. So I updated the USB Mass Storage Device driver and this time I was able to install the drivers provided, but now it only shows up as an Android Phone > Android ADB Interface (not Composite), but I'm still not able to see it under adb devices.
Help?
EDIT 3:
GOT IT WORKING!!!
For those of you having this same problem this is what I did:
1. Right Click Android ADB Interface (it won't say Composite)
2. Select Update Update Driver Software
3. Click on Browse My Computer For Driver Software
4. Click on Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
5. In the box that pops up click on USB Composite Device
6. Click Next
It now installed the USB Composite Device driver and changes your Android Phone to Android Composite ADB Device.
Open up Command Prompt and type adb kill-server then adb devices and your Nook Color will now show up.
Hope this helps some of you out.
This thing really needs to be pinned somewhere, preferably with IOMonster's first post. There's so many of us starting on this from scratch not able to get adb to see the device. har02's crosspost of hacku's post is what finally got it to work for me. there's a ton of junk out there that just doesn't make sense, and the installing the second driver on the "android interface" is a step that is completely missing from just about every post on this topic.
Aside from that, this forum is what got me buying a nook and happily learning all sorts of cool new things!
THANK you so much har02052, this marks the end of a 6 hour nook-fixing marathong....ahhhhh
installed easyadb, drivers seem fine but when I type "adb devices" I get nothing under devices listed. I've read a bunch and tried several different things concerning usb debugging and different drivers, nothing seems to be working.
Thanks.
EDIT - It finally connected but I have no idea why. Is there anything I can do to make this less of a PITA?
here is what worked for me
Had the same issue on windows 7.
Took days for me to figure this out.
Clue was one time when i connected the nook, the add hardware popup reported an error. I looked at the details, which by the way, showed up behind my other windows. It stated that B & N Nook Color..., USB Mass... and USB Composite... installed correctly, but a device named NookColor did not.
So the fix i figured out was to open the android_winusb.inf file in the C:\android-sdk-windows\usb_driver folder and add
;
;NookColor
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2080&PID_0002
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2080&PID_0002&MI_01
;
under the [Google.NTx86] and [Google.NTamd64] sections.
Note: I don't believe that the lines with the single ; mean anything other then to make the file more readible. you should make every effort to keep the file neat, orderly and easy to read though. You should be able to figure out the simple patern in the ini file.
Make sure that you have the .android folder and adb_usb.ini file with the 0x2080 contents in your user directory. (easily found in windows explorer and adding it is detailed in almost all instructions to get ADB set up)
Next step was to connect the nook via usb if not connected. Delete all of the devices with HW id which have the first value of USB\VID_2030&PID_002&REV_0216&MI_00. There could be 1 to 3 listed as USB Composite Device, USB Mass Storage Device under Universal Serial Bus Controllers, and Android Coposit ADB Interface under Adroid Phone.
I ran adb kill-server from the cmd line at this point. this is a good trick if at any point your having a problem replacing or editing anything in the .android folder.
Unplug the nook usb and (i like to wait a few seconds) plug it back in. windows should start to reconize and add the device.
when windows is finished being windows, you can check if this succeded by runing adb devices from the cmd line. If it is successful your device serial number should be listed.
If not successful delete all of the devices mentioned above from device manager. unplug the nook and reboot. When windows finishes booting up, try to plug in the nook again.
If that doesn't work I suggest deleting the any of the 3 devices from device manager again, check that the .android folder is there and contents are correct, make sure the android_winusb.inf has the changes recommended above, disconnect nook, reboot and plug in nook again. As this is windows, rebooting often isn't a bad idea either.
Hope this helps the weary Nook HC nobe as i am one. Keep pluging away.
Also if you get this working check out the root forum. I'm still trying to figure the fax speak out myself but it looks like the next step.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953110
Edit: above instructions worked for me. my faxspeak is getting better. errrermmmmmeerrebeeep.
Do the nebe group a favor as well and if you figure something out post it to the general forum.
After you make all those device edits, do you always get adb or can you turn off debugging in nook color tools and get the usb mode for regular transfers?

I think your asking can you browse the nook HC folders from a PC the same way you can browse BN media folder when you connect the usb, so for instance you can drag and drop files onto your nook HC. i'm assuming your dual booting eggclair and HC.
My goal for getting adb working was to get su, which i got here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953110 with a bit of trouble but seems to work, so that i could drag items from my pc onto HC. I'm using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952456 to mount the media directory. I now seem to have su installed and the USM app is working. i only see my BN media directory from my pc now (yay) but i can't browse that directory from my nook HC (boo). So i can't share files between eggclair and HC. I'm a noob to nook and newbe to linux, so i'm assuming it is a permissions issue but don't have enough knowledge on how to change them yet.
I did just test if i could use the same drivers to connect the rooted BN eclair and still access the drive from my pc and was successful. remember you have to unlock the BN eclair to access the drives.
ADB doesn't block access to the drives. you don't need to turn it off. HC v4 just doesn't have the right stuff yet to allow the mount. my guess is that it is mostly a linux filesystem, i'm guessing the media directory is a fat or windows filesystem and that is why you can mount and use from a PC.
i assume that if you just have rooted eggclair this ADB settup method should work, and it should still allow access to the BN media directory from your PC.
If that still doesn't work for you, I got mine to work under Win7x64 by removing everything with that VID in device manager and using the USB cable from my Evo. The Nook one had serious issues getting the composite ADB device.
Anyone found a solution for the Mac?
EDIT: Never mind. Found a solution here: http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_USB_ADB
Love the internet
My experiences with Adb has been a hit and miss kind of thing. Stopped trying to use it since there was not point in it.
I've been using the wireless adb app from the market without any issues.
I was having trouble setting up ADB but then just gave up via usb *being lazy that is all* and used the adbwireless app and had no problems at all
HI,
I've had success installing my other android devices on my windows 7 x64 computer, have even used my (ADB) Nook Colour on a windows 7 32Bit laptop fine.
Problem: Android Composite ADB Driver wont install/ isn't found, Device is Auto Nootered on 1.1 using rooted stock firmware.
Tried:
I have the .android folder in my user profile dir with the device ID in it
Followed various wikis and guides (that worked for the 32Bit version)
Watched the driver load/unload in device manager as I tick 'Development Mode (enable ADB)'
Tried various driver packs from here and googles latest offering, still only matches up with Android ADB Driver not the Composite (wont even show me the composite one)
Wireless ADB works and is disabled, worried about installing CWM using wireless for some reason USB feels safer to me
Thinks I noticed:
Hardware ID is listed as USB\VID_2080&PID_0002 which matchs up with %SingleAdbInterface% in the ini file for the driver, composite aka %CompositeAdbInterface% has &MI_01 on the end. Not sure if that means its not getting the right hardware ID from the device when ADB/ Development mode is enabled of if having the wrong driver loaded on it shows up the wrong Hardware ID.
Things I havent tried, enabling ADB on the Nook using sqlite3 method, but if it works on another coputer didn't think it would be a good idea.
Plan:
Install CWM, flash CM7 or similar to device.
I had the same issues with Windows 7 64-bit and never got it working. Worked fine on my WinXP laptop at work though. If you find a solution I would be happy to hear it, but to be honest I have found I haven't really needed ADB much if at all.

Same here!
This one is weird...
I'm on win7x64 and I *have* got adb to work at times. When I was first rooting my new NC (1.1.0), I fiddled with it and I had it running over usb fine. But now, when I plug in the usb and I either get that the device is unrecognized or it goes into usb sync mode. Haven't quite figured that out...
But, ultimately, I just use adb wireless for any adb stuff, although it's "not recommended". It's worked perfect for me all along.

I've installed DropBox but it keeps asking for an SD card, which isn't a big issue, just i haven't found the time to go buy one. Is there a way to use db without an SD card?
unfortunately no, db requires external storage. if you opened the apk to recode its default directory maybe but im not sure its possible
usb auto mount I can disable in nook tools but its a persistant system that defaults every reboot, I dont like to see it popup while using the nook when I plug it in just one of many peeves
Things I noticed:
In the Driver ini it states &MI_01 means composite driver is installed.
Under Hardware ID I only get :
USB\VID_2080&PID_0002&REV_0216
USB\VID_2080&PID_0002
This leads me to believe that even though the box is ticked on my nootered Nook that its not really enabling ADB on the device (then maybe it would show &MI_01 as needed?)
Going to flash a new firmware.... maybe Froyo and see if it comes up right after that.

I thought that as well and flashed back to the EC 1.0.1, sideloaded 1.1 update and repartitioned, used cw to add HC back and all that, and still had the same issue. Came down to the ini file not having a NookColor section.
Did you check the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987409
I'm no stranger to drivers, I could force it to use the driver by changing the ini files but it still wouldn't appear in ADB Devices.
Flashed Nooky FroYo and now the device driver states the hardware ID has the missing '&MI_01' which means the composite driver works out of the box.
I used IOMonsters Easy USB installer and it seems to have installed the drivers for Windows 7 64Bit Fine
After running the install .exe I also had to execute the Inst64.exe
[Edit, first post and I got the board wrong. -_-. I thought I was in the troubleshooting section, sorry.]
Hello,
I've bought a used Galaxy Samsung GT-P1000 running Froyo.JPJM5, Firmware 2.2, and Kernal 2.6.32.9, 27.7GB internal memory.
My problem is that I can't get the PC to identify the tablet using the USB cable.
What I do and what happens when I plug in the tablet~
(USB Debugging on)
I connect the USB cable into the PC first. I plug the cable into the tablet. A 'USB is connected' notification shows up. I open it, and click mount.
I look at my computer's monitor and there's absolutely nothing showing that it EITHER identified or not! It doesn't even show a popup.
So I went to my Disk Management to check if it was hidden or something. There's nothing. It just shows my regular hard disks and that's it. No mounted anything. I even looked into my Device Manager and all seems working.
(USB Debugging off)
Nothing happens in either the PC or Tablet.
Things I've tried-
1) Enable USB Debugging.
- Plugging in the tablet, restart computer, and then enable USB Debugging while connected.
- Disable USB Debugging, restart computer w/ tablet connected.
- Plug tablet into PC, and then restart tablet. (with USB debugging and not)
2) Get KIES.
3) Uninstall KIES and only download the USB_drivers.exe thing that comes with KIES.
4) Uninstall everything (including drivers) and getting Android SDK + update everything (about 370mb).
5) Install Ubuntu and trying to get it identified + downloaded Android SDK package and updated everything. (also did lsusb- it doesn't see the tablet)
6) Tried each and every USB port in my PC. (10 ports). [Note: My other Android phone works in any of them)
7) Tried my bro's and sis' comp (win7 32bit)
8) Tried my dad's laptop (win7 64bit)
9) I unplugged tablet, placed the memory card(2GB) of my Android phone into it. Plugged it in my computer and yet it doesn't want to see it.
10) I went to a shop because I thought the USB cable is broken or the port hub is broken. The guy took it and plugged it on his PC using my own cable. He identified the problem and said "It needs its software to be updated". I asked how much, and he said $15. **** that ****. If he can do it, I can do it.
Conclusions up until now:
Tablet knows that its getting hooked up by the computer yet it doesn't send any information to the PC letting it know that it's a mounted drive.
USB Cable is fine.
Port hub is fine since it can detect the USB cable on *usb debugging* mode and I can charge the tablet with the USB cable plugged into the charger.
---------------------------------------------
Note: I tried to root it using z4root which doesn't require a USB connection. It doesn't work. It would work and work until the application crashes and I can't re open it as it always crashes after the first try. I tried using the temporary root option and it would load forever. All in all, doesn't work.
Note2: I attached 2 screenshots. One for my Disk Management window showing my partitions while the tablet is connected (and I pressed Mount on tablet). Second, is for my Device Manager window showing that there no unidentified devices and that the USB devices don't show any Android connected, yet on tablet it says it's mounted.
Thanks.
I don't know too much about how to fix windows.
But when you are using ubuntu,
did you put in this line to your /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666"
btw, the 51-blabla filename can be 51-xxxxxanything
once done
sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart
plug in your tab to USB port
then if you have your Android SDK, you should have adb?
do
adb devices
does it show your tab?

I did what you just said. There's nothing. :|
Hmm..
Out of idea.
If it isn't recognizing the sd card you could try another one. Format it in the tablet, plug it into the computer, put the update on the sd card and update that way and see if it gets recognized that way.

What do you mean by 'put the update on the sd card'. What update?
Anyways, what I tried is that I used another SD Card (128MB), placed it in, formatted it in the tablet, and plugged it into the computer. Nothing happened on the PC. :|
'adb devices' doesn't show any devices connected either.
(I wanted to confirm that 'adb devices' is indeed working so I tried plugging my Android phone (ST-GT602) and ran adb devices- it showed it. But not the tablet.)
Is there anything other than z4root to root a phone without a USB connection? Or is there anything that might trigger the tablet to let the PC identify it? For example, is there anything that I can place on the SD Card (through another connection.. using my phone for example), then plug it into the tablet, then run that application?
I don't care if it's for rooting or not. Perhaps it would help.
Why don't you spend that $15 at the shop?
Very curious why it works for him.

You might find the Android update online (ICS to GB) or something like that and try to flash a signed update but if your computer doesn't recognize an Android formatted sd card I'm not sure how you would get the card formatted and then get the information to the card. You might search for the update on your tablet, download it and flash it using stock recovery. Maybe getting it updated might work but I have no idea why an out of date tablet won't show up
Also you could try searching online for modified drivers for the device.
Par that I have no idea. Might have to go back and pay the 15 but I would ask the repair guy if you could watch step by step what he is doing.
Hope the best for you.

I tried to Go to Device Manager, under Portable Devices, right-click on MTP USB Device, and then click on Update Driver Software to update the MTP USB device driver. I then Selected “Browse my computer for driver software” to locate and install MTP USB device driver software manually.I then Selected “Let me pick from a List of device drivers on your computer”. A list will show installed driver software compatible with the device but I dont know what to pick
can someone help me please

what do I need to get this working is there something I can download and install to override this issue.
Is your version of windows 7 a non us versions, because that's what I believe his issue is. Also your PC should have a windows 7 key on it so u can always reformat it, but you need a disk, and if you don't have one I can't really help you obtain one because I am not aware of if its illegal to DL stuff u already own off then internet and i would rather not get banned from this forum if it is. However if MTP is very important and u absolutely need it, go to ubuntu's website and download a desktop live CD, if you don't know your processor type juse 32 bit, but most modern PC's are 64 bit. Anyways if all goes well after burning it to a cd or making a bootable flash drive, u can boot into a live os and it should have mtp and u can transfer stuff. I on the other hand cannot do this because I use an older version of Ubuntu on a small partition and it is a pain to upgrade distros and I hate the new interface, but from what I have read the new versions of Ubuntu will work with your kindle. You can always install Linux along side windows but if you don't know a thing about resizing partitions, then i wouldn't suggest it because u might wipe your windows os and that would suck. BTW ubuntu is completely legal compared to what I was questioning above about windows. Yay Linux!!!

Im not that familar with Ubuntu as I would like to. I tried to sync my kindle to ubuntu, try to root my kindle and it was very complex
more than on windows
Funny, I find it easier to root on Ubuntu than on windows, no driver problems and then binary bash script works the same way. I am unfamiliar with "syncing" a kindle, especially on Ubuntu, I never sync mine I just use it like I would a flash drive, drag and drop files to it. Should work the name way on Ubuntu I think, I use an older version of Ubuntu that can't open it as an MTP device, so i just push and pull with adb. My only problem with helping you doing this on Ubuntu is your using 12.04, and I don't use the new ones because I don't like the new interface, i use gnome based desktop environment. So I can't exactly say where to click to open the kindle, but if I had to guess you can simply open a nautilus window from that bar on the left of the screen, any thing on it that's a folder will do, from there there should be a pane on the left if the window where the kindle would show up as a device u can click and view the contents of. I'm kinda basing this off what happens when I use a camera or iPod on mine, I assume kindle would show up the same way. If this is not the case you may have to install a package for an MTP browser, again not familiar with the interface and from what I remember trying it last time they took out the synaptic package manager by default, so I would have to tell u a command to run in a terminal to install it instead if need be. Tell me how it goes I will try to help as much as I can.
I kinda feel like I put too much information in this post...
Oh and as for telling your windows os, it may tell if you right click my computer( on start menu) and hit properties. Another way to throw a guess at it is ask yourself "Do you live in the USA?". Windows I think will say something about it in the properties of my computer though, if not you can try running winver from the run box it may display something useful. I don't have my PC booted up into windows right now so i can't verify this, and I kinda host a minecraft server on it in Linux most of the time so I don't shut it down unless I need to and its empty.

I have a problem I have a kindle fire and getting the drivers installed is the problem
I have install the ADB driver but am having extreme difficulties getting the MTP drivers to work
I have tried everything (every solution on Google)
and nothing works
I've tried the "Media Transfer Protocol Porting Kit"
I tried to get Microsoft help they gave me the run around and confused me even more.
I tried to Go to Device Manager, under Portable Devices, right-click on MTP USB Device, and then click on Update Driver Software to update the MTP USB device driver. I then Selected “Browse my computer for driver software” to locate and install MTP USB device driver software manually.I then Selected “Let me pick from a List of device drivers on your computer”. A list will show installed driver software compatible with the device but I dont know what to pick
can someone help me please
is there an alternative solution to this Problem?

The answer to get a Kindle recognised by Widnows 7
plug kindle into pc
ignore unpleasant driver message
enter device manager and click the following:
update driver software
browse my computer for driver software
let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
select 'portable device' from the list
select 'standard mtp device' from the list
select 'mtp usb device' from the list
click next"
This worked after hours of trying to get my Kindle to work in windows 10!
