I'm running stock deodexed ROM and stock kernel 4.2.2. My phone is not recognized by my laptop and my desktop while my girlfriend's phone (completely stock, not rooted) is recognized. Anyone has experience with this issue, please help
Are you missing any driversss...?

What do you want to accomplish? Do you want to transfer file through mtp mode, or do you want to root it using fastboot? Depending on your goal, you need different drivers.

I have a problem with my Nexus 4...
When I first got it, it would connect to my computer and I could choose if I wanted MTP or the other one.
I rooted it at my friends house, unlocked the bootloader, but never flashed anything else on it, it was just rooted with unlocked bootloader. Just recently, maybe 3 days ago, when I plug in my Nexus into any computer, I mean any, Mac, Linux, and Windows... My phone doesn't recognize it and it just charges... USB Debuggig is enabled, I tried disabling it and it does the exact same thing.... Anyone have any ideas? I no longer have root because of the 4.2.1 update that wiped it... :/
Factory reset might eliminate the problem, Also when you connect the nexus 4 to your pc it should automatically install the drivers, but it might've bugged out. So my suggestion is you reinstall them. Here, I am making it easier for you:

Hope that helps!
I've tried factory reset. My phone doesn't give me any options when I connect to any computer. Just sits there charging from the computer. I'll try again with new drivers, but windows doesn't recognize it needing any.. :/ I'm gonna go into t mo and see if they can replace it.

Hello,
after trying out a few roms i wanted to go back to stock and wanted to have a completely clean device.
So i went booted to TWRP recovery and wiped everything i could (including the currently installed ROM and internal storage).
So I wanted to mount USB to copy the ROM on my device but it doesn't connect to the PC.
So I'm stuck in recovery and have no idea how to connect it.
I hear the sound of the PC recognizing a USB connection but then comes that USB error sound you hear when it fails to connect.
Please help
Of course it doesn't. Internal storage is not UMS.
Use adb to push files.
Also, if you want to go back to stock you don't use recovery. Use the bootloader and fastboot.

Can you please explain why UMS had been disabled on custom ROMs? It was so easy to transfer data to memory using UMS!

I did try to push via adb but as I said the USB didn't connect
but thanks I did go back to the thread u posted and noticed there are two links for the drivers
it seems that the 2nd one (it's the one I had installed) doesn't actually include adb drivers so my device couldn't connect
well so I installed the drivers from the first link and it's resolved thanks a lot!
How do I do a fresh install of 4.2.2 on a Mac or on the device itself?
I have the factory image on my Mac from google. What's next?
I believe you install the android SDK and connect your phone to it using USB. Run a command. I'm assuming you are stock.

Any 'easy' way to install a clean 4.2.2 via Mac? Using SDK or anything? I have done it on PC but my PC is down and cant seem to find the right way of doing it on Mac. Any help would be great, have searched but nothing is working for me so far.
I have a hardware problem on my rooted N7 and my PC won't recognize it. I have tried multiple PC's and multiple cables and it worked fine in the past so I have the correct drivers installed. I called Google (purchased from Playstore) and they said they can only troubleshoot and repair it if it is stock and unrooted.
Any way to return to stock without a PC?
Need a few more specifics. Are you running a custom ROM or are you just rooted on a stock ROM? Have you tried to use a toolkit to restore? I have seen some be able to connect with ADB but not in the OS. Also, check your device manager when you connect it. You may have ADB drivers instead of the actual drivers that you need. Try unintelligible all drivers related to your device.

Bonehead move I know. Now I need some help to fix. I flashed a stock 5.0 ROM and everything was working fine. Got the 5.0.1 prompt so I flashed a stock recovery (4.4.4 hence my problem). Of course the update wouldn't flash. Now to complicate things all of a sudden my PC won't detect my Nexus 4. It detects my wife's Nexus 4 fine so I'm thinking not a cable or driver problem. Ive tried multiple cables and reinstalled drivers with no luck. So now I need to root and or install custom recovery without a PC. Any ideas?

You're going to need to get your pc to recognize your device. When booted into the bootloader and your device connected to the pc look in device manager. What does it show?

It doesn't show anything. Its as if it isn't connected at all. I've tried from the bootloader and recovery screens and also rebooted both phone and pc. Still shows nothing in device manager. Phone shows charging but no mtp notification or anything that it is connected. As soon as I plug our other nexus 4 in the pc recognizes it immediately.

Is your device still rooted? If so you can flash the stock recovery image file from 5.0 in flashify

I would try deleting your usb drivers on the pc, rebooting and then trying your device again. Flashing the 4.4.4 recovery should not have done anything to mess up your device

OK I will try that again and post results. Another possible problem I noticed is in root explorer I have a directory of emulated/0 I don't remember having before.

I'm sure that directory was always there. It's a normal directory

To root your device use towelroot from your device. Although I don't know what you're going to do with root. Also, can you get the device detected by your pc when you're booted into recovery or the device?

Towelroot wouldn't work. Says device isn't supported. Maybe it will get updated to work on lollipop. If I could obtain root I can flash custom recovery and start with a fresh install. Just have to find a way to do it with an app
