Hi,
When running Sense 5 rooted etc; I was able to view all the folders on my PC just fine. However, I recently put CM on the phone and for some reason lost that capability to view those folders. (Can view all the root folders on the phone itself though, just not when plugged in to PC)
Is there a setting I am missing to re-enable that or is this just due to flashing the rom and no way to get that back?

Hi, has anyone been able to get the Android File Transfer app working with ARHD ROM? The app cannot see the phone when plugged in. I use HTC`s software, but file transfer there does't work for me either (I can see the phone storage contents, but I cannot copy anything to or from the phone) Is there any other free option to transfer files (or ideally sync iTunes library with Android phones)?
Thanks for your time!
Well I just couldn't leave well enough alone. Have been working on my son's phone as it has a ROM problem after an update which I am still working through, but in the process I thought I would out of curiosity check to see if my phone was stock and surprise surprise, it went into a custom recovery, CWM. Now the issue is I rebooted out of that and went back to the normal screen, and everything appeared to be as it was before I went into the bootloader screen, but in the process when I connect the phone to the PC, it no longer displays the detailed file structure it just displays Android, clockworkmod, mnt and storage folders and AVG, nmdsdcid, ppe_fleetdb and WMPInfo files. I can't look at any photos or anything else that I had on my phone.
Thanks

Problem is sort of fixed. I looked further into the file structure and found the folders were still there as per the attachment. What have I done, that it no longer comes up with these folders as the main screen. I have to drill down everytime I want to check the contents of the phone.

ok so I have been trying and trying for days to pull up some files that i had hidden through an app that turned all my .jpegs into #jpegs on my phones internal memory but unfortunately the entire folder has been deleted and because i had hidden the files the normal programs to pull deleted files wont work my question is this. Does anyone know of a decent way to try and recover these files? no I'm not looking to get back deleted porn I'm trying to recover hidden screen shots I took.

Any photographs that I take with the cameras on my N6 are placed in the directory Internal Storage>DCIM>Camera.
However, when I connect my phone to my PC, I cannot see this directory in Windows Explorer on my PC - all I can see is Nexus 6>Internal Storage>DCIM (which has a subdirectory .thumbnails in it).
It doesn't make any difference whether I have the phone set to "Use USB for File Transfers" or "Use USB for Photo transfer (PTP)".
However, if I use ES File Explorer Pro on my phone, then I can see the Camera subdirectory (and I can see the .JPG files within that directory). I can also use ES File Explorer to copy the .JPG files from the Camera directory into a new directory that I have created in Internal Storage. I can then see this new directory (and the copies of the .JPG files) in Windows Explorer on my PC.
Any suggestions as to how I can get my PC to see the Camera directory?
(Phone is a Nexus 6, rooted, running 6.0.1 MOB30D and Cataclysm. PC is running Windows 10).
boo in twrp recovery,connect phone to pc,mount internal storage and see whether you can see on pc or not.

Thanks. Yes, that works - I didn't even need to mount the Internal Storage. I can see the Camera directory and copy files from it to my PC.
Not sure what that tells me, though.
I use this app Media.re.scan. Depending on how a file is saved the media journal may not be updated which makes certain things not see the new files namely MTP and PTP functions in android. Run that app and tell it to scan and it'll make all new files show up.
I have a Samsung np700z series running W10 with 2 USB 3.0 ports and a 2.0. I've always had trouble with the 3.0 ports on W7 W8 and ten. They work fine for anything else except cause the problem you describe. Using my 2.0 I don't have nearly as much trouble. I know the Samsung hardware and windows has this issue and it's never been resolved. Sometimes it takes a few plug unplugs and sometimes it doesn't recognize it right away. This problem has persisted from a note 2 to N6, from KitKat to N which leads me to believe it's not the phone or phone OS. Fwiw.

I just got the Prime R1 HD 16gb today and did TWRP and root. The only issue I've had is for some reason if I move a file onto the phone from my PC with a USB cable, it wont show up. E.G. If I move a file to my downloads folder, it wont be there, but if I download the same file through the phone from the internet it works. I can still see the files I've moved onto the phone from the PC if I use a file explorer, but it wont let me do anything with them. I tried going into the TWRP menu and switched the system off of read only thinking that may help, but it seems to have not done a thing. Complete beginner when it comes to this kind of thing if it isn't obvious. Any ideas?

That sounds familiar to the mtp "bug" Android has had for years.
The media storage database does not update when files are added from mtp.
Some work around that are listed are to use USB transfer instead. (Not used that one before)
Disconnect usb cable clear the data if the media storage app and force close it, then reconnect usb is should rescan the media and rebuild database.
Or just a reboot(I have done this and it usually works)
