After a while, Debian Jessie will just stop recognizing my phone. It will come up with and "MTP inaccessible" error and refuse to mount my phone. It still charges, but it doesn't allow me to transfer data to and from the phone. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04, and using MTP mode I can't see the device at all. All I can do is set the device mode to 'camera mode' (the alternative to MTP, I can't recollect its name). I usually copy my files through my smb server at home.

Hello Friends,
I got a new HTC Touch Diamond about two days ago. I'm very eager to transfer my songs to it and when I tried to do so by connecting the phone to the system in 'Disk Drive' mode, it didn't work.
Each time I would connect the phone to my system and select the Disk Drive mode, the below would happen:
1. I'll see a 'New Disk Drive found' notification in my system tray.
2. The add new hardware wizard would come up with a message stating that there was a problem installing the new drive.
These two steps would keep on repeating untill I unplug the phone.
Though, I can connect the phone in ActiveSync mode without any issues.
If anyone of you has faced this issue, please let me know what needs to be done? Am I missing something?
Note: I had an older version of ROM (ROM version: 1.93.720.2) when I got the phone and I updated to ROM version: 1.93.720.4. I faced this issue both the times.
I have never used the disk drive mode. This restricts you from doing many things. I would suggest transferring all your files through activesync in the normal "Explore" way. This way may take a bit longer to transfer your files, but you can also sync them (the music ones) with your pc if you have Vista.....

I agree that it applies a few restrictions, however, transferring files via this mode is much faster.
I appreciate your reply, yet I need to get the disk drive mode working.
Thanks,

try changin another usb port, i suspect the port is faulty.. or change another cable.. i encounter such issue before and it turn out dat my usb port is acting weird..
Is possible to have an issue with windows drivers.
If the phone is working in active sync mode with the same port and cable, is not that.
While is connected as Disk Drive in device manager in USB section are you seeing it as storage?
If is there try from computer management\disk management to see if the partition from the phone is ok.
Best regards,

This problem is solved for me now.
It appeared that the problem lay with my system and not the phone. I removed unneccesary programs and "cleaned" my system by using a trial version of System Mechanic v8.
I tried connecting after and now both disk drive mode and activesync mode work for me.
Thanks,
It charges but isn't recognized by the computer (in recovery/booted)
It does recognize fastboot USB for some reason
Here are some pastebin's of logcats that I thought may be of use if someone wants to try to figure this out.
I figure it can't be a hardware issue if it is recognized in fastboot USB (installed android phone etc in Windows)
Any help is appreciated.

I think there is 1 or more apps that control the usb mounting. I had deleted some apps once and my computer wasn't able to detect my computer. Download USB Switcher from market and connect your phone to your computer and then use the wisget to mount your sdcard to your pc. If it works you are missing the app or apps that actually do this. I'm not sure which ones do that
Do you have another computer you can test it on?

I've tested on XP 32bit, 7 32bit and 7 64 bit and Linux LIVECD.
Hmmmmmmm.....I'm going in to see if they can fix it. It is fully usable besides this. I'm skeptical of them giving me a refurb because of the horror stories of the condition of the refurb phone.
I needed to transfer some files from my N1 to my Pc, so I connected it to my PC using the cable. I was expecting the black mounting screen prompting me to mount the SD card, but nothing happened. I restarted my device twice, but the case is still the same. What could have been wrong? I have not installed any app within this time, not removed any. I have used it in just ordinary daily manner, messaging and calling and nothing else. My N1 runs on Froyo, OTA. No jailbreak.
Please help. Thank you
u need to assign a drive letter to your SD card
Noob answer: is it on the status pulldown bar?
Do you have USB Debugging enabled?
Does the phone recognise that it's been plugged in (ie start charging)?
Similar problem
I am having a similar problem with my N1 running CM6 stable. When I turn off USB debugging and plug the phone into my Win7 laptop, I get the USB connected screen, but when I turn on USB storage the SD drive doesn't mount i.e. I cannot see/access the drive in Windows 7. The N1 status bar says USB storage is on.
Under Device Manager, the N1 shows up as Android Phone-->Android ADB Interface with driver version 2.0.10.2 dated 11/08/2009.
Any help would be much appreciated.

No, THIS is exactly the problem, the phone dies not recognise that it has been connected to a computer. It does start charging, but no sign of SD memory mount/unmount. Nothing. Just simply charging.

No, USB debugging is not enabled. I double checked it.
I guess that Windows also doesn't recognize the phone as anything (Device Manager doesn't show anything new plugged in)?
In that case, enable USB Debugging, and see if the phone is recognized by Windows.
If it is - the problem is somewhere in SW.
If it isn't - then it might be a faulty USB cable or connector (from any side - phone or PC).
same thing happens to me from time to time. restart your computer and that should fix your problem.

Does anyone else have this problem? When I connect my phone to either my laptop (winXP) or my desktop (win7x64) I periodically - constantly, really - get this message:
"One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message."
When I click the message, it identifies my phone as a Generic USB Hub (4 ports) with the first child being a USB Mass Storage Device, the second being the problematic "Unknown Device" and the last two are "Unused Port"s.
This happens whether the phone is in charge-only or mass storage mode. I tried installing the autoplay drivers and that didn't help, so I uninstalled them. No hubs are involved - I've always plugged straight into the tower or laptop. I've also tried two different quality (first party Motorola) cables.
Mass storage mode works fine despite the error - I can access the Internal storage as well as the SD card. Is this a problem with my phone, or am I missing some software on the Windows side?

Thanks for the suggestion major. I tried those drivers with no luck - the message still pops up frequently in both charge and mass storage modes.

Odd... I had issues with the original drivers, but once installed, I never had another prompt again.
edit: I had it one more time, but it found them and installed them
that's very interesting. i also use 2 machines--one with xp and one with win7. my usb connection worked flawlessly on both. fyi...my connection default is mass storage, and i've actually never tried the other options. i wonder why the difference? did you make any changes? are you rooted? i am not.

Hi gr33nT,
Thanks for responding. I'm 100% stock at the moment, not rooted or anything (though it will be soon ) Sometimes I use charge only if I have it connected to my laptop at work but I still want to listen to music from the SD card. I may see if I can get Verizon to swap out the phone, the message pops up all the time and it's getting annoying...
A quick follow-up on this one: I tried the stock LG cable on my win7 machine (I had been using moto cables). I installed BOTH the bootstrap drivers as well as the LG drivers from the web - still happening. I rooted with these drivers via S1C so I know the drivers are good. If nobody else has run into this, something is probably wonky with my phone, so I'm probably going to exchange it.
For mine, every time I connect, it asks me if I want to install bootstrap. Even though, they have already been installed cuz I am rooted.
I've had the same issue both as stock, and rooted and in every configuration with the phone and PC you can think of. I've downloaded the drivers and installed them from both the phone and web site all to no avail. This is really getting annoying.
I hope someone has a fix for this.

Hmm...that is troubling. I'm still having the issue running the stock rom and rooted, now. When I get time I'm going to drop by the Verizon store and hopefully they'll replace the phone - I suggest you try the same, as I doubt it's the computers we're using. My win7 box and winXP work laptop could hardly be more different!
I doubt a replacement will fix anything, I experience the same thing as majorpay. Drivers worked for a while and then it started asking for it again. This also causes issues when using usb tether as its connecting and disconnecting. The issue is not present when used as a mass storage device.

Hi bwhxeon,
The issue (USB device not recognized - it sounds like you're referring to the autoplay driver installation) happens for me in mass storage mode also. I believe it has to be the phone as I've never had this problem on any of my PCs with my OG Droid or any other USB device. With this phone, I have the problem on all of my PCs.
I had the same problem. The error popups seemed random at first. I noticed if I enabled/disabled the WIFI on the device while it was connected, I could make the error popup.
I ended up getting a new replacement device when I also noticed the 4G Hotspot wasn't working either even after a factory restore. There was definitely a hardware issue with the phone.
USB Unknown Device
same issue here.. when using ADB though I have to set to Internet Connection then it goes away for a while until I want mass storage or just charge from USB again, then re-appears.
LG is not like most other phones as in usb debugging only works in internet connection mode where others go into it as soon as you plug it in.
Just kind of scanned this thread but have you tried a different USB cable? I was having a problem with mine only wanting to charge with the stock so I grabbed another cable and it has worked right ever since
Same issue, two different pcs, with two different cables. Bootstrap does not load anymore so I am using the drivers from the links, both sets of Lg verizon drivers

For many years I've used ssh/sfp daemon to scp files to my Linux machine. But about a years ago that stopped working. I set up the daemon, start it and it seems to start fine, but it presents no port 22 on the phone's wifi IP. I know because I can't SSH to it and nmap finds no ports open.
Is there any way to pull files from the XT1053 besides connecting with USB and adb pull?
Can't you setup MTP so it is like removable storage?

I don't follow. How would I do that?
You dont want to use a USB cable? You can use Airdroid or KDE Connect (you don't need KDE for this to work). However Its been years since I've had issues transferring files to and from Linux with a USB cable.
I don't mind using the USB cable, although I'd rather use wifi. I just need some way of moving files.
Airdroid and KDE Connect aren't available in CentOS 7.1. I'll look into them further, but I'd also like to know more about this "MTP" mode.
Change the transfer protocol from MTP to PTP, it's usually under the storage menu in a sub menu there. NIX based systems support that and you should be able to see all types of files, not just photos.
If that doesn't work for some reason, the you can use WiFi file Explorer, which works quite well.
I have no issues with USB in Ubuntu14.04, U12.04 had some issues with MTP libraries, but now all sorted out.
Myself I never tried SSHing, but interesting thought. Certainly worth a try.
What about samba? ES file manager can browse samba shares
