You need to enable USB debugging ...
Go to settings
Then go to about tablet
Then tap on build number aprox5 of 6 times ... You will see a toast notification the will say "you are now a developer"
Now try to what you tried to do before

You also will be unlocking the bootloader with fastboot commands, not adb.

[Q] Help with installing USB driver

Hi everyone,
I tried every way I can to install the driver but I still cannot get ADB to recognize the phone. Can anyone please help me with this?
Windows 7 x64. ROM: PA
Thanks,
Edit: so I tried the PDANet driver installer. adb now can see the phone if it is in recovery mode. fastboot and usb debugging still cannot be recognized by adb.

Fastboot and adb are not the same thing. They are separate executables. You can't use adb commands in the bootloader, you use fastboot.

Thanks for reminding me. After 2 hours fighting with Windows 7, my mind went dumb and I forgot the basic. Now things are fine. Also, I realize how stupid Windows *really* is :silly: you can do basically anything with Nexus 4 in a breeze, but anything with Windows require luck, magic and voodoo charms....
the most important step was disabling Window's automatic driver installation. It kept installing the incorrect drivers. After that, things were easy, except that I forgot in fastboot I have to use fastboot commands ... :silly:
Thanks again, El Daddy. You're always the man!

Download the nexus 4 root toolkit or whatever it's name is. It'll guide you step by step. Also, qbking77 has some nice videos on YouTube... Check them out.

Problems rooting

Ok I will try and keep this quick and simple.
I am trying to root my new unlocked bootloader Nexus 4 with Wug's toolkit.
With usb debugging enabled, my computer can't find it in fastboot.
I have tried both the universal driver method and the pdanet driver method with all of my usb ports and nothing is working. The pdanet drivers worked for my nexus 7, but they weren't working for the N4, so I uninstalled and reinstalled them for the Nexus 4. (I tried selecting LG first, that didn't work, so I tried Other, which also didn't work)
Can anyone help me?
Thanks

That's odd. Can you use a different computer?

A very old and slow windows xp yes, but I would prefer to fix it on my windows 7 so I can eventually use it to install custom roms.

While it's in debugging mode and plugged into the computer, swipe down your notification bar. It should say connected as mtp. Press on that and change it to the one that says connected as camera. I think that's how the it is... Sorry I can't totally remember, but I know that's the only way my computer recognizes mine. And it will work just fine.

Thanks that did the trick (As well as updating to the new version)

USB driver trouble

Ive been searching and trying for quite some time now for a solution but I have yet to find one.
My problem is this, I've soft bricked my Nexus 7. I can get into fastboot and recovery (CWM).
My computer has had a fresh install since i rooted last, now when i connect with USB it doesnt even come up in device manager. Everything ive found online tells me Windows will automatically detect the device then i can update the driver. But i cant even get that far!
I was wondering if anyone could PLEASE help me figure this one out? Is there some way to force Windows 7 to install a USB driver for Nexus 7. Ive downloaded the specific driver.
I'd hate for my Nexus 7 to end its life this way.

Did you try with wugs toolkit. It should have multiple solutions for USB drivers.

I tried Wugs toolkit... also step by step, manually in SDK but Im always getting stuck at "Windows will automatically detect your device" because it doesnt.
the only solution i can think of is to get another nexus 7 to install the drivers and take it from there, but thats a leap i'd rather not take unless it's completely necessary. Even then there is no guarantee that it will work.

Are the latest chip set drivers for the computer installed correctly? All windows updates and drivers? Tried another USB device, cord, and port? Of the 5 ports on my laptop only 1 works for adb and fastboot.

When using WUG's Toolkit be sure to use the USB deview tool inside the driver section.. Remove all of the entries with the Vendor IDs listed in the tool dialogs.

Interesting that some of you have been able to get adb working. I've tried every possible USB drivers and cannot get adb working for my nexus 7, nexus 10, or Acer iconia A1-830. My phone still runs android 4.2, connects no problem. There is no solution, must be because I'm still running winxp on laptop
