My Moto G MTP is not working in windows xp for any files transfer from pc to device. I tested the same device on Windows 7 and ubuntu, and it worked like a charm . Does Windows XP needs any special drivers to detect the device MTP ?

  • Have you checked the Group User Policies for USB device detection and driver installation?

The MTP driver was bundled with Windows Media Player 11 on Windows XP. To get Media Player 11, you must download it from the Microsoft site here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/download-windows-media-player

Well, I guess the drivers need to be installed, why don't you try connecting your PC with the internet and then try connection you device. If it still doesn't works then I couldn't say much about it but I think the problem may lies because Microsoft has take down support with the XP. So, I think that may be the reason behind !

  • Well, can't comment over it exactly but I think i have ran out of option. I think the problem may be encounter because of the support I guess. As you have said that its working over other OS i.e. Win7 or Win8 then I guess support may be the reason. :( wait a bit more while to see if some other user can came up with something more on this. :)
