With my HTC Inspire 4G I plug in the USB cable and it pops up as a drive to transfer files onto (ie movies), however with the galaxy tab 10.1 it doesn't. I rooted it on a windows machine, so wondering how to make it a USB drive when I plug in, so I can transfer movies and files from my Mac.
Anyone?
It doesn't mount as a USB drive on a Mac - you have to use this utility to put files on the device.
Apparently I'm too new auser to post a link so I'll write it out:
android dot com forward-slash filetransfer

good find with the app, but it doesn't work. when I plug in it just says "No Android device found" and on the tablet it says Connected - Press home button to quit keys... but it doesn't mount a drive or open up file transfer box. Am I missing something?
Same here - AFT doesn't work on Snow Leopard, much less Lion. Please tell me that you, or someone else has discovered a solution since this post three months ago?
I believe there is a thread on this in the development section. But to answer your question anyways, you simply need to go to Samsung's support website and after entering your product model, go to the downloads section and install the Kies software for Mac. Unfortunately you must use this version of Kies since the GT 10.1 can't be mounted as mass storage on Macs.
Guys, use Websharing. Look for it in the market. Basically turns Tab into a web server on the network accessible via any web browser.
That's what I use. Android File Transfer (AFT) does not work, and Apple broke/changed something in their AFP. I used to use the LAN feature in Estrongs until Lion came out and borked that.

AFT will not work because it is built using a library of libmtp that is too old for the Galaxy Tab. Hopefully Google will update it soon to support the Galaxy Tab.
I tried to compile libmtp to support it, but couldn't get it to work. I'll try again when I'm not busy and see what happens.
In the meantime, you can use Samsung Kies software, or DDMS if you have the android SDK

Not a mac guy but had the same problem on my pc. Ended up installing Remote Web Desktop (Smartdog studio) from android marketplace on the tab. It's free. Then used filezilla (or any other ftp program) from my pc. Worked great, so no more worries about USB connectivity.
I recently bought a tab 8.9 and I was very disappointed by this problem. I'm going through FTP right now.
Is it possible to enable normal file transfer if I root my tablet?
theres a way..but u need to have ADB ..also need to be home to let u know..
there is this ADB tool app that u run and it will detect ur tab..i got mine detected mine is 10.1
I've never really understood this problem - is it something that will be sorted it with the newer Android firmwares such as 3.2? I had a Vega running vegacomb 3.2 and that mounted on the Mac without a problem.
Use File Expert, they have a built in FTP & websharing. It works great with a FTP app on the Mac.

I tried turn on and off several times. Before and after Kies opening every possibility just not work. But until at last it just can sync with Kies by itself. I really don't understand how can it work.
Any way via Kies you can only music, photo and video. You have any idea how to push PDF files into it??
i use adb push for putting everything on my tablet....its a lot easier than waiting for Kies.
I have mac and use this method for file transfer to my Galaxy Tab 10.1 :
-install android-sdk-mac_x86 from Android developers site.
-open 'tool' folder and search for ddms ( android-sdk-mac_x86/tools/ddms )
-connect your galaxy tab to mac via usb
-dubbleclick on ddms (it will start terminal and java) new window 'Dalvik Debug Monitor will open
-click on your device listed in this new window
-from file menu open Device -> File Explorer
-new window with folders of your Galaxy tab will pop up
- navigate to any folder on your device and just drag and drop any file from your computer finder window.
it is easiest way to transfer files from Mac to your Galaxy Tab 10.1 via USB

+1 on the File Expert Method.
Download FE (free) and Cyberduck (free) unless you already have a FTP server/client program.
Turn on sharing via FTP on tab, then enter in the settings on Cyberduck, and voila! Wirelessly connected on your local net.
Just drag and drop any file to any directory. I've loaded multiple items ranging from 100mb to 1.34gb in minutes. movies, pics, pdfs, you name it.
I feel this is the easiest of all, and kies actually works for me!

Hello,
(First sorry for my very bad english. It's not my natural language but I do my best for sharing with you!)
04/13 - UPDATE: Now 3G works for ICS with some ROMs like Megatron.
Revolver will be based on TF101G ICS ROM soon.
09/17 - UPDATE:Roach2010 and gnufabio have developped an apk that enable Mobile Network settings (for 3G dongle).
Their APK change the bootloader. (Read more and download)
So maybe this thread has no purpose except for issues and for the list of compatible dongles. If you have a dongle which work and which is not in the list.....
11/08 - UPDATE: 3G dongle works too with Extension-Kit/TFUSB1 Asus P/N 90-XB2UOKEX00020
You can find it here: http://shop.asus.fr/shop/fr/fr-FR/Home/1-Produits/1500-Collection-ASUS/1936-Accessoires-Eee-Pad/1937-Accessoires-Transformer-Prime-TF201/90-XB2UOKEX00070-Adaptateur-USB-externe-pour-ASUS-Eee-Pad.aspx (Thanks to ValenteL for information)
************************************************************
Bellow you can find the first post
Thank you,
Regards.
FIRST POST:
There is probably other ways to make the 3G Dongle working on TF101 but here you can find how we have done.
The follow lines work to have Prime v1.5 installed on your Transformer (works with any version!)
Then you could upgrade to Revolver 2.1.
Otherwise you can directly nvflash your TF101 with the Revolver 2.5 NVFlashed version of cuckoopt.
You just have to follow instructions on this post.
Don't forget to thank him if it works for you
Note: SetCpu doesn't seem to work. I don't know if the issue is coming from Revolver or HC. By re-installing SetCpu, it works one time then crashes.
A. Prime V1.5 Installation:
1. You have to backup all your data/apk from your Internal SD Card because we will make a clean install. So use your backup software.
Becareful. if you project to use Titanium Backup, his backup files are on the internal SD Card so afterwards, you have to move it to your MicroSD (from /mnt/sdcard/Titatium Backup to /data/Removable/MicroSD)
2. Download NVFlash: http://www.filefactory.com/file/ccda97c/n/nvflash.zip then the NVFlash version of Prime v1.5: http://www.sdx-downloads.com/devs/roach2010/flash_roms/prime_v1.5_nvflash.tar.bz2
Updated note: I am not able to activate the Mobile Network option with version 1.6 (even Zip version for ClockWorkMod nor NVFlash version).
But some people have succesfully activated it by flashing NetFinder 1.5 just after the fresh Install of Prime v1.6 and before rebooting the system ; it means in the same CWM
3. unpack NVFlash and Prime v1.5 in the same directory. The image files of Prime v1.5 should be unpacked into the NVFLashTF folder.
4. Connect your TF101 to your PC via USB. Then hold the volume UP and Power button until a NEW device named "APX" appears in the Device Manager. Note that the screen of the Transformer stays black.
5. Click on the APX to install drivers from directory USBPCDriver (included in NVFlash.zip)
info: I used Windows XP 32 bits.
6. Then run Download.bat if you are on Windows, download.sh for Linux users
7. When NVFlash is ended, reboot your TF101.
During boot, there is a setup wizard. Choose connection with "3G and Wifi", not "only Wifi"!!
At this step, you must have the Mobile Network option in Parameters.
8. Download Maxh2003 Script: http://android.modaco.com/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=73836 (you need to be a register user on Modaco You could find another link some posts after!)
Download the Patch files for ACER A500 tab: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=638588&d=1309189189
9. Unzip the script and the Patch file in the same directory.
If you want to upgrade to Revolver 2.1 version (HoneyComb 3.2), you must stop here and go to step B (chapter B).
Otherwise continue chapter A.
10. Connect your TF101 and run install-TF101.bat
11. Mobile Network option is here.
B. REVOLVER 2.1 Installation
1. Do a fresh install of Prime v1.5 NVFlsh version.
If it's not the case go back to the begin of this post and execute steps A.1 to A.9. then go back to B.2
2. Download this file
3. If you read this, Prime v1.5 NVFlash version is installed and you are in CWM Recovery screen.
Install the Recovery 2.1 version (Full). DON'T WIPE DATA
4. At the end, just reboot your system and verify that Mobile Network option is still here.
5. Then we have to install drivers for your dongle (see the list below for compatible dongles).
Let your TF101 on, connect it to your PC via USB cable and run install-TF101.bat via cmd.exe from Windows (tested under Windows XP x86 and Windows 7 x64)
C. List of COMPATIBLE DONGLES
Note: if your dongle is not in this list, but works with TF101, please tell me. It will be added to the list.
* ZTE MF 639 (might need roaming enabled to get data working)
* Alcatel X225L (thx to urko95)

D. About LED on HUAWEI 3G Dongle:[/B]
The LED indicator displays the current connection status of your Orange E1752 dongle, with each colour representing a different status:
When the LED displays green and is blinking twice every three seconds, this means that the dongle is powered on.
When the LED displays green and is blinking once every three seconds, this means that the dongle is attempting to register onto a 2G network.
When the LED displays blue and is blinking once every three seconds, this means that the dongle is attempting to register onto a 3G network.
When the LED displays solid green, this means that the dongle is connected onto a 2G network.
When the LED displays solid blue, this means that the dongle is connected onto a 3G network.
When the LED displays solid cyan, this means that the dongle is connected onto a 3G+ network
When the LED displays no colour, this means that the dongle is removed.

And dont forget to turn off the composite device of the 3G dongle.
Here how to do (thanks to Matchstick from Modaco who wrote these lines):
You can test this by plugging the stick into a PC and seeing if it detects the modem as a CD or Memory stick device as well as a modem.
If it does then the method I used to turn off the composite device (on Windows 7) was:
1) Install the software and drivers for the modem under windows and make sure that the connection software sees the modem correctly.
2) Go to Settings/Control Panel/Device Manager and if you expand the Modems section you should see your USB modem listed there
3) Double click on the entry for the modem to get the properties panel up and selected the Modem tab
4) You should see a line at the very top of the tab that says something like Port: COM11 - This is the virtual serial port that the PC uses to talk to the modem which we're going to use to send the command to turn off all the stuff we don't want.
5) Next we want to install a serial console application. PuTTY is perfect for this. If you don't have a copy you can get if from here,
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
6) Run putty, select Serial under Connection Typem and enter the port we found in step 4 (eg COM11) into the box marked Serial Line and press the Open button
7) An empty window should pop up, which if things are working correctly is connected to the Modem
8) Type "ATI" into the window (without the quotes) and press return. The ATI command asks the modem for basic information and it should respond with something like
Manufacturer: huawei
Model: E1752
Revision: 11.126.03.01.314
IMEI: 123456789012345
+GCAP: +CGSM,+DS,+ES
OK
9) If you see this then you are connected correctly, if you don't see a response try physicaly unplugging and reconnecting the modem into a different USB port and start again from step 2 after windows has loaded the drivers for the modem.
10) Assuming everything is OK, the we can send the command to turn off the stuff we don't want. To do this simply type "AT^U2DIAG=0" (again without quotes) into the putty window. you should see the response OK.
11) If you do then the composite device features should now be turned off and you are ready to try the modem in your transformer.

Remerciements/Thanks to AndroidRoot.mobi for NVFlash, Paul for Prime!, Maxh2003 for his script and help, Matchstick for his help, Dexter_nlb for his A500 patch and, of course, all our developers and users who help us.
Not sure why I've flashed several roms in APX from w7 64 bit just fine.
It seems that these drivers don't work for win7 64 and works for Vista 64.
Perhaps they are unsigned.... didn't know. I don't make more tests.
Regards.
Looking good. Now to get a 3G plan and dongle...
Anyone get this working?

oh... I guess insmod won't work on the modules without a compatible modem plugged in then?
many thanks! got it to work on my E1750
although you might want to put the instruction steps to remove the storage on the modem (only works after I did it):
Insert modem into pc and wait for driver to install
check in device manager which com port is assignated to your modem
download putty
here the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe
close every program related to modem
run putty
click serial below port number and then change port number to one previously founded
click open
write atz and press enter, modem should answer ok
write ati and press enter, modem should give name, type, etc
write AT^U2DIAG=0 and press enter, zero cd is now disabled

What kind of OTG adapter are you using for this?
Hi all,
will this work with the Huawei E173u2 , the second version adapted for (pseudo)"4G" networks
I am with stock 3.1 + root.
Does it work or I need to install PRIME anyway?
At the moment, everyone who has got this to work has had to install Prime 1.5 (and several of us had to install the NVFlash specific version of Prime)

Is this similar to the huawei E367 ? As I'm looking at the E367 at the moment.
One easy(ish) way to check is to follow Steps 1-8 from post 12, then enter the command "AT^GETPORTMODE" (without the quotes)
If you get a response like
"^getportmode:type:WCDMA:Qualcomm,MDM:0,NDIS:1,DIAG:2,PCUI:3,CDROM:4"
then the E173u2 is using the new interface like the E367 and at the moment I can't get it to work.
It may be that the drivers aren't compatible (I'm not seeing ttyUSB0-ttyUSB2 devices appearing in /dev/) or it may just be that I haven't got the correct interfaces enabled.
There's information on the AT commands for the new-style Huawei modems here

Hi,
After I installed Internet Sharing, in my Samsung Focus, it is not recognized by any PC !
I tried all USB ports in my notebook, in others desktops, but in every machine, the Samsung Focus won't was recognized !!!
Simply show the message "USB Device Not Recognized", and in the Unknown Device Properties, appears the message "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)"
I tried installed, the USB driver in "C:\Program Files\Zune\Drivers\Zune", but unsuccessfully.
I tried many MicrosoftFix, but unsuccessfully.
I reinstalled Zune, but unsuccessfully.
Nothing works !
I guess that something in the phone is blocking the connection from any PC.
It simply isn't recognized.
Please I need Help !!!
Installed xaps: Diagnosis, DiagProvXML, Samsung Tools, in Settings/System(Internet Sharing, Registry Editor and Advanced Config)
Trouble: I have many pictures, videos in it and some solutions is the dangerous hard reset, but I can't backup my data.
I appreciate someone with the magical solution, because until now, everything that I tried, I did not get succeed !
Thanks in advance.
Try re-installing the Samsung driver.
I've run into this a number of times on a number of different phones... Each time, after uninstalling and reinstalling drivers/software, it ends up being my USB cable. You might try another one, to rule it out.
It just happened to me again this week.

Have you tried a different Micro USB Cable yet? It might be that simple, and it would rule it out if it's not.
Perhaps you tried to enable tethering in the past with the tethering codes, through the dialer? I had a similar issue with a phone this week. If this is your problem, here is the fix:
Open the phone screen composition
Enter the code: # # 634 # > Press Call<br.
This will open a new screen will be similar but in test mode
Then type in the code * # 7284 # > Press Call
See the screen that you see in the picture > Select "ZUNE SYNC"
The phone will restart

Hello.
And bacon and spam:
I've recently upgraded my SGS to ICS (ICSSGS ROM) and started to develop a simple application.
So, now i've got to the point that the emulator starts to show its limitations, so i need to debug directly on the real device.
Well, i've been trying to make ADB recognize my phone, tried several usb drivers from several sites, none of them worked.
After several hours spanking windows, it's finally working (yes! almost 6 AM in the morning!).
What matters:
So, to anybody who have the same problem as i had, do the following:
0. Uninstall any drivers that you've tried before.
1. Extract the zip file that i've uploaded to anywhere you like.
2. Enable debugging on your phone and connect it to PC throught the USB cable
(Just connect it, don't mount)
3. On your computer, click Start -> Right click on "Computer" -> Manage
This will open the "Computer Management" window (it might take some seconds to load).
4. Click "Device Manager". Now you should find your device in the list. It must be really easy to find. It's called something like "GT-I9000" or "GalaxyS" and it has a yellow warning sign next to it.
5. Right click on it and choose "Update Driver Software". In the window that appears, choose "Browse my computer for driver software". It then asks you where is the driver.
6. Click the "Browse" button and choose the folder you extracted from my zip file.
(If you didn't change it, it must be called "Android Composite ADB Interface")

Missing file when installing driver on windows 7 x64
Hi,
I have recently installed the most recent Dark Knight ICS 4.0.4 build to my Samsung Galaxy S. The ROM seems very good but I'm an android app developer and need to be able to debug my applications on the device via USB.
I have tried the driver provided in the thread which won't install due to a missing file according to the Windows 7 x64 driver install wizard. The exact message is displayed after step 7 and says:
"Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it."
"Android Composite ADB interface"
"The system cannot find the file specified".
Is there a file missing in the package? Has anybody managed to get this driver working?
Cheers,
Ben
Does it say that it doesn't find a controller or that is there a missing file?
Anyway, please try this installer and let me know if it works for you:

What's wrong with the Nexus S drivers available with Android SDK?
Google USB driver, R4 developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
The SGS will present it self like that when it is running ICS/CM7/CM9.

Dont work for me.
System: Windows 7 x64
Android 4.04 Dark Knight
Nevertheless thanks for your approach. I'll test if it works with the SDK Updater.
I'm going to test in my desktop this weekend to check if it works with it.
I have the same problem, but with WIndows 7 32 bit. Drivers from discusion doesn't work. Don't you have some for 32 bit?
I found SDK Components on developer.android.com, where is Android driver which suppose to work, but unfortunately ODIN still do not see phone.
I also have the same problem but mine is worse because my phone is completely down after I tried to restore from a GB ndriod backup failure , phone won't boot , cannot boot into recovery only in download mode but no way my 4 x computers would detect the phone now ....tried using heimdall in linux as well as sdb, no go....so sad...help...

Using Google USB drivers finally worked for me. They can be optionally installed with Android SDK using SDK manager (extras). After installation drivers can be found in <sdk>\extras\google\usb_driver.
Just follow the instructions in the first post to find your device from device manager with exclamation mark. Need at least one reboot to work and I also redirected the driver installation process to Google usb driver directory but now ADB finally recognizes my SGS (MyICS, Android 4.0.3).
Edit: Operating system Vista 64-bit
[Currently stuck in "error: device not found" while trying adb push -command. I will update if I find a workaround. Probably something to do with inf-file.]
For alternate .inf -file (optional):
Google "usb-drivers-not-working-after-flash-latest-rom-ota" and see post #12 to see alternative inf-file. Some have managed to make adb recognize the device with that file, but I have at least this far been unsuccessful.
Edit: Problem above was caused by me being stupid and trying to use push in shell, which caused phone unable to locate host system folders. I don't know if that inf file has anything to do with drivers working now, but go ahead and try it if doesn't work with the original .inf
I got my i9000 recognized using the latest drives from the Google sdk
That‘s great

This worked for me
The very important thing is that newest Google USB driver is in
Code:
[B]<android-sdk>/extras/google/usb_driver/[/B]
location, not in
Code:
<android-sdk>/usb_driver
It really makes the difference !
these drivers only worked once...
all the other times killing and starting over adb i was getting error messages like "device not found" and "protocol fault" even though adb devices was listing the device online.
apparently i connected the phone to another USB3 port on my pc (front panel) and that was it!! it now works every time i type adb shell or adb devices.i no longer get any error messages.rather weird
anyway..i also wanted to be up to date with everything so i uninstalled all related software like the older java 6 jdk, Android SDK and the drivers mentioned above.
i followed the procedure below and installed all the latest packages:
latest java 7u5 JDK, the latest Android SDK (nstaller_r20.0.1-windows.exe) then ran sdk-manager and loaded http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html#InstallingDriver google USB drivers rev 6. then installed these drives so i got the ADB composite interface on my device manager and it all works fine now.
I recenelty installed latest ICS , and SDK recognizes my phone as ACER ADB , when I'm pretty sure its a Samsung I9000 . I tried uninstalling the ACER ADB and install the one that the guy posted in the first post , and it didn't work , it said this driver is not compatible , oddly it reinstalled ACER ADB though. I can't even uninstall it at all , I removed all my Samsung drivers , and everything else I installed for Samsung , and its still there , I even tried removing the GOOGLE USB drivers , still there.
Neendless to say that the phone doesnt connect to the PC at all even though it says everything is alright. For example i got ths gPAD app , which uses the USB with Debugging to turn the phone into a mouse , but it says its not connected even though it is.
I recieved my N4 yesterday.
When I try to connect it to my notebook (running Windows 7 Professional), the installation of the MTP driver fails. The error message says something like "driver could not be found". ADB however works without problems. (I allready debugged some apps on the phone.)
I tried installing the drivers from the toolkit, but it didn't work.
On my brothers netbook the MTP drivers were installed successfully. But I can't get it working on my notebook.
Can anyone help me?

I was just having this problem but I fixed mine by changing the USB port. Not sure if itll help but worth a try.

Thanks for your help. I allready tried an other usb port. It did'nt work.
I wanted to avoid it but I reinstalled windows. Now it works. Thanks again.
Hmm, messed with this problem for ages yesterday, mtp installed fine in normal mode but refused when in 'usb debugging' mode
simple fix, find your wpdmtp.inf file in windows/inf
edit it like shown, look for the [Generic.NTx86] and [Generic.NTamd64] entries near the top of the file........
[Generic.NTx86]
%GenericMTP.DeviceDesc%=MTP, USB\MS_COMP_MTP
%GenericMTP.DeviceDesc%=MTP, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4EE2&MI_00
[Generic.NTamd64]
%GenericMTP.DeviceDesc%=MTP, USB\MS_COMP_MTP
%GenericMTP.DeviceDesc%=MTP, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4EE2&MI_00
...then update the driver in device manager, use automatic search
just make sure the 'VID_18D1&PID_4EE2&MI_00' matches your device id, check in device manager.. but i'm guessing all nexus 4 are the same.. usb debugging mode
I did a clean install of windows and that solved the issue for me. Thanksfor your help anyway.
I usually see what drivers do install, like adb or whatever, and then remove/uninstall them AND delete them
Then installed this pack
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1998650
then connect to a different USB port and try again with the new drivers
Also, some USB hubs can be under-powered and cause problems.

Just FYI, just got a Nexus 4 from T-Mobile yesterday and the device ID is slightly different:
VID_18D1&PID_4EE2&MI_01
01 at the end instead of 00

When Windows asks where the drivers are you point to the folder with the ones you want to use...

It doesn't ask. I plug in the phone, and Windows says it can't install the MTP driver.
If I go into Device Manager and find the phone (with the yellow triangle and !) and select Update Driver Software, then navigate to the i386 folder from the Universal Naked Driver (on an i5 system), it tells me that "The best driver for your device is already installed" or something similar.
Of course, if I uninstall the device from device manager (and presumably the bad MTP driver as well), it disappears, so I have nothing to point to to install the drivers.
Earlier today I reinstalled the drivers for my N4 on my work PC (Vista Business) and I had to reboot before it recognised the N4 as an MTP Device - prior to that it only saw it as an 'MTP Device'. Now it sees at 'Nexus 4'
I have a similar problem I have a kindle fire
I have install the ADB driver but am having extreme difficulties getting the MTP drivers to work
I have tried everything (every solution on Google)
and nothing works
I've tried the "Media Transfer Protocol Porting Kit"
I tried to get Microsoft help they gave me the run around and confused me even more
here is the conversation
Microsoft: "Thank you for that information
Nathaniel I was checking your product key and it is blocked that is why you can not connect these devices to your computer, you may be a victim of counterfeit software so in this case since it is an OEM computer which means that the manufacture of the computer installed Windows 7 on your computer I recommend you to contact the manufacture of your computer to see if they have an option in order to resolve this issue you are having."
me: when i contact them what do I ask for?
Microsoft: You need to ask for a new product key
me: I am confused what does this mean? that the manufacturer put windows 7 OS on here illegally? but all PC's come with windows OS so every PC in the world is suspect to counterfeiting
them: No, this could be because someone still some information of your computer and use the product key to try to activate Windows until the product key got blocked
No, the name is not involved in this case it is jut the product key
what do I do?
is there an alternative to MTP drivers?
Solved
Hi, i had the same problem described in previous posts and I managed to solve thanks to what is written by meangreenie.
In practice, in the windows\inf of my Windows 7 the file wpdmtp.inf was no longer present but there is only the "compiled" version (wpdmtp.pnf).
I retrieved the file from an earlier version founded in he folder Winsys and so the LG driver are installed without further problems.

You might be using the wrong driver (Android ADB) instead of the MTP driver. This happened to me the other day!
If you're in Debug Mode, you've already done the first step I was going to suggest.
Here's the second step that worked for me: Open Device Manager -> Click Android Device (top of my list) which exposes "Android Composite ADB Interface" -> Right click that device -> Update Driver Software -> Browse My computer for driver software -> Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer -> then choose "MTP USB Device" -> Next
Mine installed the MTP driver and then the N4 opened normally.

That works for me with USB Debug ticked and in MTP Mode but not in PTP Mode (on CM10.2-nightly-20130817). I absolutely can't see my pics in no way... (I suppose this is a bug from Google to be fixed in further updates). ADB and FB are correctly working as tested with NexusRootToolkit 1.7.1 Drivers Test.
May it help to delete original DCIM folder and start from a new one??
edit: Shame on me... I forgot that I've formatted my SDcard, so I've no picture in DCIM folder.... Sorry! So I can say that McDougal trick totally worked for me!
try to check the device manager to check the missing drivers with ! mark
Maybe I'm not completely getting the problem, but just doing this worked fine for me:

Enable USB debbuging in your phone. Go to Settings -> about phone -> tap about 10 times on build number item until USB debbuging is unlocked.
Also, on your computer go to the device manager, look for your phone, if you find it, right click on it, then update Driver Software, browse computer, Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer, USB composite device
That should do it.

Finally a working solution
Finally I found a solution.
Visit answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-hardware/mtp-usb-device-drivers-will-not-install-correctly/0ee71b7c-4ae7-403f-abbb-63c7ed9a79f9?rtAction=1387606800207 and search for the "Bret B"'s answer which has also been marked as the most helpful answer. It works perfectly. He simply says..
Go to the Registry Editor (Start –> Run –>type in, “regedit” (without the quotes) then click OK.
Search the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\
Go upto Edit>Find, type in or copy/paste Portable Devices
In the right hand pane you will see the (Default) value “Portable Devices” on the string
Once found, you see a string value called UpperFilters –> delete it!
Reconnect the device. Finished!
