i have an s5 neo, which for all intents and purposes for now im using as a tablet.
ive finally got it rooted. i went through and cleared out some obvious system apps that i wouldnt use on there (powerpoint, excel, things like that)....
within that little bit i also removed mtp application, at the timei thought it was only purely used for kies, and since i was now rooted i wouldnt be using/able to use kies.
but since then (im guessing, the only thing thats different), i went to use my cable to connect to the computer just to remove some pictures onto my PC hard drive.
my computer sees it, enough to start charging, it knows somethings plugged in, but i cant actually see the phone. on windows 10 desktop or windows 7 laptop.
the program i used is called appmaster uninstaller. it works great on my phone (that i am still using as a phone), the samsung captivate glide. i can remove and restore system apps, user apps, with no problems at all, within the appmaster app.
since i know and trusted this app, i used the same one on my s5 neo. it removes things fine.... but it will not restore anything. it just looks like its loading for a split second, and then nothing. no successful restore message (or failure message!). i tried in my file browser going into the trash folder for appmaster and installing it again via the system installer. it didnt work properly. i have a, i guess you could call it shell/ghost, of mtp application, listed at 0.00kb. but it didnt work right. tried moving it to system/app, still no dice. i *do* in fact have non play store sources allowed on it. i also have tried it with usb debugging both enabled and disabled. it brings up the notification to pick the camera usb setting, or the other (mtp i think) setting... but neither works. my captivate glide lets it work on camera mode so i tried that. but still nothing.
i tried downloading the free version of titanium backup, as ive heard alot about it. i was hoping i could use it to restore the mtp, even if it was from another apps trash. but at least from what i can tell this isnt possible.
How can i restore this, or other, system apps (or any apps), if i wanted to, and have it work properly? i have no issues on my captivate glide at all, it works great. it seems something with the new version of android or soemthing is what stops it maybe? or is it that knox deal? i dont have it enabled but its still there... i thought about removing anything that looks like knox, and then seeing if that was somehow (although disabled) stopping things from being restored?
for now ive done things the long way. remove the case, remove the battery door, remove the sd card, insert into PC, reinsert into phone, reinsert battery door, reapply case. but i would really hate this to be the method i have to use from now on, id much rather just use the cable to transfer things.
can anyone offer any help??
Ive googled and found other people with the same problem, but no solution offered. at least that ive come across yet.
thanks
