Hello,
I am using WugFresh Nexus Root Toolkit 1.6.4 to root my Nexus 4. I have done the initial driver setup (installed universal driver) and I have successfully unlocked my device. ADB and whatnot worked fine. Now when I try to root and it tries to check ADB, it fails say "ADB device was not found".
Tried redoing the driver steps again, tried different USBs but still no dice. Not sure whats wrong, it unlocked fine meaning ADB worked fine. Not sure why it stopped all of a sudden.
Any tips?
Did you turn on USB debugging again after you unlocked it?

You must turn on Usb Debugging again (Setting->developer options-> tick "Usb Debugging")

The past 3 hours or so I've been trying to unlock my nexus 4 bootloader
I've tried using 2 tool kits and also tried doing it manually..
After installing the android SDK and enterin "adb reboot bootloader" I always get Error Device not found.
I tried deleting the drivers but I dont get the option of "Delete the driver for this device" under Device Manager.
I've tested this TWICE on 2 seperate machien, 1 running windows 8 and 1 running windows 7..
USB debug is on.
Any help would be greatly appreciated (Running 4.2.2 Stock)
When you enabled USB debugging, did you get a prompt on your phone saying if you trust your computer?
Make sure you navigated to the ADB folder correctly.
Make sure your phone is turned on and not in fast boot.

I've solved the problem! I had to disable this signature windows 8 thing and then i was able to install the drivers.
Mod plz close this thread
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)
I finally got my Nexus 7 (2013) driver loaded after many issues. Following the directions on the video for unlocking, after typing the "fastboot oem unlock" command in command prompt, I get a waiting on device message. Please help!!
You can always go on www.wugfresh.com, find it on Google. For some reason yesterday I would type that in and get a Internal 500 error. Go to his website and download his nexus root toolkit. Make sure you have the proper drivers installed. In the Nexus root toolkit there is a section at the top of the program which guides you through obtaining the correct drivers.
Also make sure you've clicked the version 7 or 8 times to "become a developer". When connected make sure you have use debugging on, and the tablet is not in MTP mode. I just unlocked and rooted my tablet yesterday. Good luck!

I used Wug's toolkit, had to try a few times until I finally got it right:
Follow the steps in the toolkit to uninstall any adb drivers and remove any instances of the device from the device manager
connect the phone in mtp mode and ptp mode after that, both times with usb debugging OFF, let windows figure those drivers out so you can transfers files without any trouble
disconnect the phone and install the universal drivers (option 1 in the toolkit)
turn off both mtp and ptp, then connect the phone with usb debugging ON. This is what might be causing trouble, if you turn usb debugging on along with mtp, windows thinks it's yet another device, for a total of 5 possibilities (mtp only, ptp only, debugging only, mtp+debugging and ptp+debugging)
follow the instructions in the toolkit to select the proper driver for the nexus 4 with only usb debugging on (I set mine to "google nexus 4 adb interface"). Test the drivers and repeat this step for fastboot in case the proper driver isn't selected already (google nexus 4 bootloader interface)
After doing this I didn't have any trouble using adb or transferring files. The one thing I recommend is to always keep only one mode on at a time while connecting to the pc, either mtp/ptp or USB debugging
I don't know if anyone has a better/more streamlined solution, but this one has worked for me, so I don't intend to mess with it
Evening.
Today I rooted my nexus 7 2012 version, using WUGs toolkit. It manages to unlock, root, install recovery fine. However as soon as it was rooted I can now no longer see the device in 'my computer' when MTP is selected. But if PTP is selected it comes up as the camera icon like it should.
Drivers have been removed and reinstalled. Debugging has been turned on and off. WUG says ADB is fine. But for some reason I just cannot get MTP to work ?
Thanks
