Hey guys! So I just got a nexus 4 today and I went to use wugfresh nexus root toolkit, did it successfully (unlocked boot loader, rooted it), as soon as I took it out of the box. I got a system update right after I did all that, so I updated it. Now I lost root, and when I go to root it again, I can't seem to get the adb thing to work, it says its offline due to some security thing on 4.2.2, and I tried everything it said to get debugging to work, and nothing works! I unchecked and checked it again, plugged in a different USB port, restarted phone and computer countless times, and even tried it on a galaxy nexus to see if the box comes up with the computer fingerprint thing, and it didn't work on that either :/ is this a computer issue? How can I fix it? Any help would be great, thanks!
Try changing storage from MTP to PTP and checking unchecking debugging as new drivers may need to install.

How do you do that? Sorry I'm a bit of a noob
You need updated adb for 4.2.2.

Not using a tool kit for starters. Look at the sticky in q&a about rooting.

I'll check it out, thanks. But weird thing is, I rooted a nexus 7 on 4.2.2 with no problem using the same tool kit, and the box with the computer fingerprint showed up after clicking on android debugging enabled, so idk why it isn't working with the gnex and n4 :/
i tried what you said, it doesnt work. in command prompt i get error: device offline.
what do i do now? :/

I have nexus 7. I tried to many pattern attempts and the tablet locked. It aks me to log into gmail but it won't accept the username and password. The password is correct, i tried on my pc and phone. The problem is that the tablet is disconected from wifi. Is there a way to unlock it or connecting it to wifi without losing all my data?

If your bootloader is unlocked, it is fairly easy. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33029578&postcount=4
Shouldnt it connect to wifi automatically when its turned on?

Not if wifi is disabled.
You can access the status bar from lockscreen?
Or cant you access the lockscreen? Just the google login page?

If you need more help then what has been provided, you'll need to give us more information. For instance, is your bootloader unlocked?

You can still unlock the bootloader without booting android.
Boot into bootloader using power and volume down.
Get the nexus toolkit and unlock boot loader, flash cwm recovery and factory reset

I have the nexus 7 toolkit. Instaled the drivers and everithing. When i connect the tablet in fastboot mode the pc does not see it. When i tipe adb devices it shows nothing. The tablet connects in mtp mode while its in lock screen but when i start bootloader or recovery mode windows says usb device not recognised.
Adb is for when the tablet is booted and debugging is on.
Try fastboot devices. If its not there check device manager again

im using sdk manager with the command prompt thingy
You do realize that the toolkit isn't magical? It uses the same commands. If you have problems doing it manually, the toolkit won't magically fix that.
Update your SDK files.

i did that is there a way i can just go back to 4.2.1 then it will take me 2 min to root lol
or if i use wugfresh and just say im 4.2.1 will it work?
I don't think you understand. Do whatever. You won't listen anyway.

No, you dont understand.
Just telling the magical toolkit that its 4.2.1 doesnt resolve anything.....
If you have issues manually rooting, the toolkit wont magically make it work....
So what your saying I don't have to download anything at all? Not SDK manager or any rootkits to manually root?

I'm currently running a 4.2.2 ROM both on my Razr M and Incredible. Whenever I run adb devices, it will not list anything. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.
USB is broken on 4.2 for now. Try restarting while plugged in, it may recognize it then. Make sure USB debugging is on too

Thanks for your suggestion but that is what I have been doing for most of the day before I turned to this particular forum to ask. And so far any suggestions I've found have not yielded anything positive for me. Drivers are up to date and I have version 1.0.31 of adb. Debugging has been turned on. Are you on a 4.2.2 ROM on your phone? Are you able to plug in your device to a PC and run adb devices and have your particular phone show up?

No problem. I think that's an issue with the USB drivers on the phone... Not really sure why it works when you restart but it's a minor annoyance.

Im in dire need of help here. I sold my phone through ebay today and have been rushing round to restore the phone to default. In the process I have wiped my phone of everything up to installing the factory 4.3 rom onto the phone.
Unfortunately, I cant access the phone via my computer! Ive tried installing drivers but I cant access the storage to put the rom onto the phone for me to install it and I'm tearing my hair out over this.
Please tell me theres a way to do this!
Thanks in advance!
PS. Windows 8.1, TWRP recovery.
Is your usb debugging enabled under developer tools ??

You don't copy anything onto the phone... You flash it in fastboot. Plenty of threads about this.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
To restore the phone to stock you need to use fastboot, not flash through custom recovery, otherwise the phone still isn't stock and they won't receive updates.
Just follow these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34552123
For Windows 8 to install the driver you need to reboot into advance mode and press F7 at the menu to disable driver signature, adb/fastboot and driver link in my signature.

I used the fastboot guide and it worked. Thanks for your help everyone!
Hello, well, i'm having a little problem here, the thing is, my Nexus 4 is not recongnize at all by the computer, any computer, i already tried another computer, another usb cable, clearing cache, reset the device, usb debugging on and off, MTP and PTP and nothing, i'm using Archlinux and i think that the problem is not the computer because the Nexus 7 (2012) is recognize just fine, i believe that the problem started with Towelroot because before that everything was ok, i can't even update the OTA for the 4.4.4 because it sends an "error" when updating. Another thing, the phone charges so that is interesting.
I'm dying here
Any solution or comment please.
Thanks.

Hello, first, thanks for answering.
Well, i'm always been stock, never tried another ROM.
I'm scared about the idea of the USB port problem, but if it's the port, why charges normal in USB? Pretty interesting.
It's working now, had to remove and install again SDK tools from the computer and reset the phone but it's solved.
Thanks a lot :laugh: :good:
