[Q] MTP Not working! - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Nexus 6 wont connect with MTP...only PTP.
It shows on the connected media but it doesnt show up on My Computer.
It doesnt matter if i turn debug on or off, still doesnt show.
If i switch to PTP, it shows up but i cant add or edit the folder and it only
shows 'Pictures' and DCIM folders
Im trying to add zip files.
how do i fix the MTP problem?

Boot into TWRP and connect to PC. See if you can mount MTP that way. Not a fix but could get your files transferred. Also may prove if more than a ROM issue.

I have the same issue? An it still is not coming up with TWRP? I tried the DEV M preview, it's good. But will not connect to PC as MTP?
Usb debugging off, selected mtp in dev options, reboot phone. works now?

I'm actually on stock rooted and unlocked, so idk what's up

Have you tried a different cable? Different USB port?

I tried different ports but the phone will connect adb and ptp so I assumed it was the phone. When I connect using mtp, it makes the connection sound but nothing happens.

Resolved: ADB Question

Ok so I've deleted and reinstalled the drivers from my computer and reinstalled the ADB from the SDK and every time I try to do ADB, it detects my device but says it's offline. I've tried with 5 different USB cables, 2 of which were official motorola cables and 1 of those 2 were the one that came with my phone. I have tried all different ports too
Resolution: I uninstalled all my USB drivers, my motorola drivers, and adb. I redownloaded them and reinstalled them and they finally worked
Is USB Debugging enabled? Is the phone in the correct USB mode (think this should be automatic)?

I had the drivers, uninstalled them and reinstalled them to make sure already.
I'm pretty noob to all this, but I'm having issues making adb work on my Ubuntu 11.10 w/kde desktop. Is my issue as simple as the phone needs to be turned off? Ie charge mode? Shows phone offline all the time
Edit:I made the udev file 51-android.rules vendor 22b8 product 42d9

When they're referring to "charge mode" it's the option in the USB connection where you can choose where all it does is charge, where its a SD card mount, or its a sync for your stuff on the computer such as contacts and whatnot on there

I just discovered today, while plugged into my car charger that if you put it in sleep mode while plugged in the phone displays "charge only mode"
And for my adb problem I have tried toggling debug mode, rebooting both phone and comp. Always shows offline. Have tried every option in the USB connect. I'm sure its something simple but I can't figure it out

I had changed ports ,and USB cable
And windows xp and win 8.
But It's the same.
are you using the stock usb cable?
are you running a rom?
what recovery are you using?
if you have a custom recovery hook your phone up to your computer and boot your phone into recovery either cwm or safestrap
go to mounts and storage and try to mount sdcard and see if that works
p.s
make sure usb debugging is enabled and check mass storage in the drop down
Was there ever a solution found? My droid 3 for some reason the usb debugging isn't working, the computer sees it and I can access my files, but debugging won't enable. I turned it on and off in settings a bunch of times and tryed a few different drivers

Go to apps, push menu button, choose either camera or massstorage mode. And enable usb debugging and enable root access for apps and adb. This should solve it. If not, reinstall your cm10 with all wipes.

don't understand why you wrote "go to apps" - in my CM10 on my p970 the USB options are in storage menu :
settings->storage->[press menu]->USB computer connection
then after choosing Mass storage i can finally debug using ADB

Why does my computer no longer recognize my phone after doing marshmallow update?

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.

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!

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

App folders are not visible when connected to PC

Guys,
I do not see any folders other than DCIM on the PC.
I used the stock cable.
Anyone else facing this issue or is it supposed to be like this?

Are you connected PTP or MTP, sounds like your connected in PTP transfer mode.
I have tried both. Does it work for you?

Mtp works if driver is installed right check device manager while in mtp mode, if you dont see R1 HD under portable devices, chances are driver not set up, try this
In device manager u will see the driver (probably under portable devices) anyhow it will have an exclamation mark on the device, just double click it to bring up properties windows, click the driver tab, then update driver, choose browse my computer for driver software, then click let me pick from a list.... It should come up with several driver choices, select MTP USB Device, that should do the trick, under device manager you should now see R1 HD in device manager, and the device will now show up in explorer.
