Hi,
I had earlier opened a thread regarding this issue. But that was having more than one query and was misleading.
I need to install Froyo JP6 (the official one - no custom ROMs). Currently I'm having JF3.
Kies is not working for me (The MTP application in the mobile opens up, but gets restarted while getting connected to kies, so kies is not recognizing my mobile).
How shall I install JP6 without Kies?
Is it possible to install from mobile itself? (like installing apk file?)
nandihno had told me to install using odin. But i couldn't find it in dev section. Can anybody provide me the link for odin foryo JP6?
Thanks in advance!
Install latest version of Kies - 1.5.3.10093_82.
You can go in setting and Upgrage..
Once the latest version is installed, go into Program Files - Samsung
Delete USD Drivers directory here.
Now go in Program Files - Samsung - Kies - USB Driver
Install the drivers from here.
Once the installation is complete, go to settings in SGS (Galaxy) and unmount Internal SD card.
Connect SGS using USB Key and wait till system detects your SGS.
Once it is done you can use Kies to upgrade to Froyo... However as of today Froyo is not out for India... though there are work around to fool Kies and still download, though I will suggest to wait...
thanks I will try this as well. Well this also work with my issue? I tried to upgrade my firmware using kies, but it failed because of some file missing. I installed kites again, and now it detects my phone when I connect it, but it never seems to make the connection
It just says that it is trying to connect and this goes on forever.
So now I cannot repair my firmware using kies. Can this solution help with that as well?

Same problem here. It detects my phone. But freezes in "connecting your device".
@shurdus - when this is happening (connecting ur device), did you notice your phone restarting the MTP application.
I mean, the MTP application will be displaying "installing kies" but after some time, it disappears and appears again in a fraction of a second..
I have to try the solution said by satyawali.
Another doubt - unmounting internal SD card will affect the data?

I have a similar problem. I just downloaded the newest version of Kies, but can't get Windows/Kies to recognize my phone. I unchecked "Automatically start monitoring for device..." and "Start Kies automatically..." in the Settings box, and I did the Driver Recovery and rebooted, all recommended in another thread. Still nothing. All I get is some very quick flashing of MTP Application and my home screen opening and closing. Then Windows (Win 7, 32 bit) tells me it couldn't do something and to contact the device manufacturer.
Have you found a solution?

I haven't found the solution yet.
I guess the only solution is to format the SD card and then try. But I'm not willing to do that So no froyo for me... If only there was an OTA or froyo installer it'd be great
1. Uninstall KIES
2. Uninstall "SAMSUNG USB Driver For Mobile Phones".
3. Reboot your PC
4. Brows to "Program Files" (windows 32bit) or "Program Files (x86)"(windows 64bit) and remove the folder "Samsung".
5. Run "regedit" from Command Prompt and look in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software and delete the "Samsung" folder.
6. Right click your C-drive and choose "Properties", click "Disk Cleanup" and check "Temporary Files" and hit "OK".
7. Install KIES and reboot your PC.
8. When booted, don't start KIES yet, just connect the phone and let windows install the drivers for it, unplug the device when done, start KIES and connect the phone.
That should work out for you..
^ thanks. gonna try it now. Will let u know
@[Ramad] - even this didn't work.
The problem is in the phone - i can clearly see it. I guess, a factory reset will do it. Is there any backup software that can backup including the application data/caches ?
isn't there a download link for the new and original Froyo? there are too many pages and it's quite hard to find what you want (I've found Froyo but not the original one, I think, and I've found plenty of advices for kies but I don't want to do all that unistall-delete traces-install again, when there's a simpler way with odin)
Kies problem is related to the ammound of MP3's on your SGS!
Because MTP is a MP3 player connection protocol it's using some MTP Windows media player driver to connect. If you have all MP3 on an external SD card, just remove it and Kies will work fine. Otherwise remove or rename your MP3s to make it work.
Seriously this worked for me, credits to a user of some forum (can't find the post).
Force close all d launchers before connecting d phone to kies its very necessary step hope it will work
It's unbelievable... the best Android phone has the crappiest PC companion. Seems everyone has exactly the same problem with kies.
As far as I've read it's related to files with longer names stored inside the internal memory. Come on! The old Palm Hotsync didn't suffer from such stupid things!
I think we should start a global petition for Samsung to fix that. My wife has a 10 bucks nokia that has a far leaner/better/functional PC companion.
@nagash1979 - by saying remove it - u mean "all mp3/flac and media" in the external card?
@ srajoria - did that. In fact. uninstalled laucnher pro and then tried. no use.
@c3p9 - i don't think its a deal breaker for this phone. As there are alternatives for kies (like es file explorer for wireless transmission of files). But if only there was an OTA update, then no need of kies at all
@nagash1979 - i couldn't find any windows media player application running in the background. thanks anyway....
Finally I got the solution for the KIES problem.
I had recently downloaded winamp beta from android market. And when connected the phone in usb storage mode when winamp was open in PC and phone, my phone was detected as mass storage. And when I opened Kies, it also detected my phone (finally!), but asked me to connect to kies mode. I removed the cable and connected again in kies mode. And it worked like a charm! WOW!
But it's not working everytime!
Edit: The Mass Storage worked 4/10 times. Kies worked only once out of 10 tries. Everytime a alert message to turn off the SD card is popping up which is very irritating. Dunno how to fix that....
Atleast I was able to connect my phone with the PC using USB Mass Storage mode after a very long time - took the backup of all camera files
If you have latest version of Kies installed and drivers working and experiancing MTP crashing issue on phone then it is long file name issue.
To solve this, connect your phone in media mode and mount the card on system. Use attached utility and search long file names on phone and delete them.
Now connect Kies you should not get MTP issues.....
However this does mean this crappy software (Kies) will still detect your phone...
Try to use Antroid Manager will be satiafied. I have uaed it works fine over Wifi.

As title says. Also when I connect to USB into my windows computer the N6
icon appears, when I click on it its blank, no files! I tried to copy my pics and it
says devise cannot accept!
Seems my storage partition is somehow lost. I tried to reflash 2x, same result.
Can anyone guide me on what to do.

Try doing a factory reset from within Android, I hope this helps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/64gb-stuck-23gb-t2970279
Read down a few posts. It worked for me on 5.1.1.
I also have the same problem but with the 32gb version.
I started with a locked unrooted 5.1.1 Nexus 6.
I followed the instructions from Google's file image site.
I unlocked the boot loader.
Then ran the flash all script that failed, so I manually flashed the phone.
Phone rebooted and started up fine.
I attempted to re-lock the boot loader but it failed.
When connected to a windows system the phone shows up on auto play but file explorer shows No files or folders.
Tried a factory wipe still nothing.
worked

Yes. The phone defaults to charge-only mode via USB, which prohibits file transfer; this is why the device folder was empty in Windows. Switch to MTP mode via the notification shade and it will appear as it normally does.
In addition, in Developer options, you can configure the default USB mode, so as to prevent this from happening in the future.
or, just move into the 21st century, and use a program like wifi explorer pro, and never have to connect with a usb cable to transfer anything ever again..

Agreed that apps like this are very convenient. Sometimes still prefer hardwiring for transferring 20-30 GB worth of stuff, even though MTP is a total drag.

This fixed my Issue. It was set to MTP but I switched it to Charge only then back to MTP and it works now.
Thank you.
with a fast wifi connection, its not really much slower to transfer big stuff as well; although, how often are you transferring 20-30 gigs of stuff???
I think I have used the cable to transfer maybe 3 or 4 times since I got this phone..wireless charging, no cables to transfer files, its time to embrace 2015!
TWRP Resize partition function
Addressing just the problem posed in the title of this thread, if you have TWRP installed, or if you choose to install it after you discover this problem, then you have an option that will preserve your data: use the new "resize partition" function within recovery.
Boot to TWRP (version 2.8.7.1 or higher)
Choose "Wipe" button (do not slide yet!!) then "Advanced Wipe" button.
Select the Data partition, then "Repair or Change File System" button.
Choose the Resize button.
Now you can slide to confirm, and it will expand the partition to it's full potential, without disturbing the data.

Sorry for OT:
Definitely doesn't work on a rooted Nexus 5. It always jumps back to charge only. Does this work 100% on Nexus 6 devices?
File transfer also doesn't work properly for me (and at least one other person in the NExus 5 Troubleshooting subforums), if you want to move a folder onto the SD card which has a system file and / or subfolders in it, it will most likely fail. There are also a lot of folders not showing in Windows Explorer, so if i.e. I want to move Titanium Backup files to the SD card I just can't place a folder and name it "Titanium Backup" because it won't get recognized. I have to create a dummy folder, place the backup files in there and then move them manually with ES File Explorer to the now visibile real TB folder.
That bothered me so much I did a rollback to Lollipop, hopefully those things get fixed by Google or with an Xposed module (if this is working somewhen).
I have rooted Redmi-4A. I have supersu 2.79. My MIUI version is MIUI Global 8.2 | Stable 8.2.1.0 (MCCMIDL).
My USB debugging option is enabled.
I tried the following android applications but failed to get access to the MTP file transfer mode through my phone to PC.
1. MTP enabler Release 3.3
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-mtp-enbaler-t3263467
2. QCustomShortcut application
3. MIUI Usb settings
I can select the MTP mode easily in the phone using the default method and the 3rd party apps that I listed above but my PC does not detect my phone. The ADB drivers are installed on my PC. However, my PC detects insertion of USB device and shows a notification upon insertion and taking out of USB cable connected to the phone.
I tried using MI PC suite and it also is not detecting my phone.
Have you tried installing the USB drivers? USB driver is NOT the same as the ADB driver. Google "Redmi 4A driver" and install the USB drivers.

I've installed them as well. They came along with the MiFlash tool. I forgot to mention it earlier

Yes, I tried with both of these options but failed.
Hmm, that leads me to think that something's wrong on the PC's side. Can you boot up a Linux distro and see if you can transfer files there?

You can easily create a bootable Ubuntu USB and test the phone in the live session (i.e. without installing it).
I am currently getting that error with my phone. Not sure but it could happen because of the computer. I have two os in my computer. Win10 and Linux mint. Win10 can detect my phone without an issue but mint not. With usb debugging on I can use adb in linux but still no file sharing.

Yes and no I mean both. Got same issue in different times with different phones. When the time I use crunchbang I would able to fix it. (by installing things on crunchbang not on the phone). But this time, I did not try to fix actually. I am connecting my not rooted phone only for android studio. It detects it. I can install my apps and can test them. But I cant see my phone in file manager. Thats the story.
the same thing is happening to my wife's rooted 4a and her sisters unrooted one
the same for my not rooted one, I've seen my phone one day in windows 10 explorer (this day it makes 10 seconds to see and when reconnected I could see it one time over 2), but the next day nothing more, I spent hours to try fixing it and have a few computers (all with windows 10), I think it's a miui problem not letting windows acces to the storage.
I have a part of a solution, have ejected my sandisk 64GB SD card, found it was formatted in exFat, empty it in windows, put it back in redmi, after redmi search errors I clicked on the notification and saw a few remaining folders and files, so I went to storage to format the sd card, after this the sd card (and only it) was visible in Windows explorer, but only in MTP (without usb debugging), but the copy from the PC is a kind of erratic (drag and drop 1 folder full of subfolders and files is ok but selection of 10GB gb folders and files to copy stops after the first file copied...), I don't understand how one day I manage to see correctly internal storage and sd card...
edit: today I can see the sd card as empty in windows explorer despite of properties shows it is not, and impossible to copy anything...
So i use now a turnaround, I tried airdroid but device folders were shown as sd card(?), but tried another app "gestionnaire de fichiers" flashlight + clock which can activate ftp service (edit: I have seen after that file explorer from miui could, but it hangs before I found the soulution)
so I type on chrome ftp://192.168.0.45:1234 (1234 is the port number you can choose) with the phone on my box with wifi and all (device ssytem androïd too) is accessible (but to copy to the sd card I would have to use a ftp client).
EDIT: Eureka! I uncheck the fictive sd card optimisation (optimisation de la carte sd fictive in french) option in developper's options and all is ok.
---------- Post added at 05:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 PM ----------
So for me to access both sd card and internal device memory in USB in Windows 10 for my not rooted xiaomi 4A miui global miui 9 global 8.1.11 beta android 7.1.2N2G47H
I had to:
-activate developper's mode (7 taps on Miui version)
to activate debugging usb (seems better)
-unactivate fictive sd card optimisation (windows and airdroid do not understand internal memory like a sd)
-format the sd card in the phone (in stockage menu, delete the sd card)
using the MPT mode seems the better option (in "selectionner la configuration usb" in french in developper's mode options) or with the notification when usb is connected.
For me Adb drivers were ok.
And there was a problem with file explorer that hangs when "fictive sd card optimisation" was activated, so even redmi can't access to sd card when this option is on...
Hello,
I by mistake delete ROM on the OP 3T, but after connect phone to PC, I can not enter to storage, for load new ROM.
PC see it like Google Nexus ADB Interface. But in File Manager I can´t see it.
Please, how to fix this.
Thank you
Hello! My phone (Redmi Note 10s) after auto-update has broken. It is operating but anytime I try to open any application there's a message displayed: "Wait until your device is fully rebooted before opening apps" so basically I cannot do anything there. The only solution that I have found on the web is to restore phone to default settings, but on internal storage I have some pictures that I'd like to backup and I cannot access them. I also tried to connect the phone to PC to copy files, but it is not detected at all. Is there anything I can do to access files on internal storage?
Thanks
so you can boot the phone but nothing else? that sounds bit like broken encryption. in that case your data is already lost.
if you can reach settings you should enable developer options and usb-debugging. install the usb drivers and try to pull your files via adb.
