Hello. I'm trying to make adb work in Windows 7 x64 SP1 (updated) with my Nexus 4.
I enabled USB debugging and it shows up as "Nexus 4" under "Other devices" in Windows' Device Manager. I tried installing Google's drivers from the Android SDK, but it can't find any drivers. Same results with the "Universal Naked Driver".
The device ID it shows is USB\VID_18D1&PID_D002&REV_0228 (see attachment), which I couldn't find anywhere. Is this normal?
Thanks.

You have to right click on the other drivers folder and then update drivers. But you have to have the adb drivers download for it. The only thing is that you need the drivers. Try to search for nexus 4 adb driver download.

What do you mean? I right clicked "Nexus 4" in the Device Manager, selected Update Driver Software, chose the sdk\extras\google\usb_driver folder, but nothing. Please see the attachments. Is that what you meant?
Same thing happens with the "naked" drivers. None of them has the VID_18D1&PID_D002&REV_0228 device ID.
That's right update driver but you need the adb drivers. Go to Google and search for nexus 4 adb drivers download.
Have you tried turning off your phone and then plugging the phone to your computer? That should automatically download the drivers but someone's you get errors. I could not do it done I soft bricked my phone and only the LG logo came on with security error. I flashed the prada adb drivers to get into fastboot.

the easiest way to install the drivers, imo, is reboot to the bootloader, then plug the usb cable in. it should automatically trigger them to be installed.

I've tried the latest revision Android USB drivers from the SDK platform updater. I've tried PDANet and the Universal Naked Drivers.
Basically, ADB works great, but as soon as I "adb reboot bootloader", my Win7x64 says "USB Device Not Recognised".
I've already gone into device manager and tried manually updating the driver to the various ones I've downloaded. I've also tried "uninstalling" the driver and reinstalling it, but it keeps coming up as unknown device.
When I type "fastboot devices", nothing shows up (obviously).
What am I doing wrong?

Same thing happening with me, i want to re-lock my bootloader but when i am in bootloader mode windows does not want to recognize the device, i have tried everything too.
Did you install the correct drivers?
When connected and in the bootloader open the device manager in windows. You should see "android 1.0" near the top.
Update that driver. It should work.

Hey, As i said earlier i was having the same problem...try switching your usb cable then try. That is what fixed my problems.
ive done all mentioned above, even tried 3 different cables, no luck, anyone have suggestions
I dont know about what you want to do, but if you want to root and unlock use the wugfresh took kit. Its the bomb and as soon as I figure out where I can thank him and give a big kudos I will give thanks.

I could be wrong, but I don't think adb works from bootloader, but the fastboot command should. I think you can also use Google's Composite ADB Interface driver too for it (I can't reboot my N7 atm or else I'd find out).
I don't have any other android-related drivers on my system either, only Google's USB driver from the SDK. I'm also on Windows 8, but I would assume Google's USB driver would work fine on Windows 7 too.
Also certain USB filter drivers may cause issues too, such as libusb, or even AMD's USB filter driver (however, I had no problems). Or if you want to wipe out any/specific USB drivers, I recommend getting: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html
I was using Wug's nexus root toolkit last week, then my laptop got broken and now i have to use my friends' laptop. I don't know why but when i plug my N7 with Developer option ON and USB debugging ON. N7 root toolkit can't find my devices, it said that there is no adb interface driver, i checked "device manager" but there is only "Nexus 7" in portable devices, nothing more, no unregconized drivers. What should i do now, i want to get back to my stock rom and update to 4.1.2 but find it impossible.
i installed the driver from Wug's and reboot already but it didn't works.

Make sure you are logged on as Administrator when the drivers are installed.
I logged in as Admin, install PDA net drivers and Samsung USB driver but it didn't work, my laptop couldn't regconize my device >.<. Can somebody help me please
Not working for me either

Hmm, I've tried everything too. Every suggested driver, every uninstall and reboot, every workaround and fix, and on two different laptops. I suspect that this simply just doesn't work all the time.
I plugged my Nexus into my computer(running windows 8) and it was recognized so I thought the drivers were installed but then I got the nexus toolkit and selected unlock bootloader but while I was in fast boot it hangs there saying wait for device... I tried to install the drivers from the toolkit and still it says waiting for device. Any ideas?

Make sure the drivers were installed correctly. I've read some threads past that there was an issue installing the drivers in Windows 8.
Did you turn on USB debugging? Go to the "About Tablet" section in settings and tap on "Build Number" a couple of times. It should say "You are a developer!". This unlocks developer options in the main settings. From here you can enable or disable USB debugging. Try whatever you are doing again and it should (hopefully) work.

same problem here.
I tried to install the ASUS driver on my XP machine. But the installation wizard keeps saying "Parameter is incorrect" or "Cannot start hardware"
Just to be sure, you ARE using the cable which arrived with your Nexus 7 right? Because I used a SGS3 cable and it didn't work though it fit nicely

I had the same problem. Very frustrating. Sounds like you guys need to open the device manager on your PC and uninstall every Google, android, nexus7 or any other phone driver installed.(HTC,samsung) all of them. Also check in USB drivers. Get rid of them.
Reboot your PC.
Make sure USB debugging is enabled on the nexus.
Power the nexus off. Enter fast boot on the nexus. Power-volume up-down. Connect your nexus to the PC and let the drivers install on their own.
Go back and check your device manager on the PC and look for a yellow exclamation mark on your android, Google, adb or nexus driver installed. Right click it and select updated driver.
Let me know if this helps.

It helped, tnt0303. Thx.
I had same issue. In fast-boot mode it was always giving the yellow exclamation mark. This is what I did to install the drivers.
Device Manger ->Nexus 7(yellow exclamation mark) -> right click -> Update driver ->Let me pick from the list of device drivers on my computer-> select show all devices->next->Have Disk->browse to folder where you unzip nexus drivers then -> ok ->select Android bootloader drivers
Hope this helps
I took the OTA to 4.3 on my Nexus 7. It was previously unlocked and rooted, but had no kernels, etc changed. After the update ran, I lost root as expected, however, in trying to get it back, I've discovered I'm having a couple of other issues.
First, the device is no longer working properly via USB on my PCs. On both my Win 7 and Win 8 PCs, the device won't properly connect to where I can browse files or anything else. On the Win 8 computer, I see a Nexus 7 device in Device manager, but drivers won't install. I downloaded the drivers from the Asus site, but trying to manually install them doesn't work on the Win 7 machine, and on the Win 8 machine, they install but don't seem to be working with the Nexus 7 as it still shows a problem in Device Manager.
The tablet also will not boot into recovery mode. I can power it up into fastboot mode, but if I select "Recovery Mode" and hit the power button, I just got the Android with the red triangle for a few minutes before it boots back into the OS. After doing some searching, I saw where you might need to have it plugged into a PC to get it to go into recovery, but that doesn't work, either (might be tied to the USB problem).
Ideas?
Did you turn on developer options, and USB debugging? Have you tried USB connection type PTP instead of MTP?
If you have the stock recovery, the red triangle and Android are normal. You can bring up a blue options menu by pressing the power and volume up buttons from the red triangle Android.

Yes.
Try another driver source. Wugfresh's installation is a lot tougher than Skipsoft's, but try the other guy 's system.

I was using the stock drivers off the Asus page. I'll look around for the two you mention. I assume they're posted on here somewhere.
And about the recovery just try flashing another recovery from fastboot

Without USB access? That's my dilemma.
OK, I'm getting closer. I got TWRP installed and rerooted it. I had to do the "Revoke USB debugging authorizations" on the Dev Options screen. Then it would work via ADB.
Still not browsing files yet on my desktop, but at least I know I'm talking to it. So now I'll play with the driver installation a bit.
EDIT: Well, drivers reinstalled for about the 4th time, and it's still not allowing me to browse files from my desktop. Galaxy S4 works fine as soon as I plug it in, even if I also uninstall it's drivers. Ideas? I obviously have it working over USB because I can give it commands and reboot it via the PC.
OK, try this one. Plug in your tablet to pc, go to hardware manager, find your Android Device then choose Uninstall (choose Remove all drivers for this device), unplug and plug in your tablet again. Your Windows should discover few new devices (mine has discovered three) and download drivers for them then you should see Android ADB Interface in Android Devices and Nexus 7 in Mobile Devices.
--edit--

After you plug your nexus in have you unlocked the screen to see if it is asking you to authorize the tablet?
What other steps have you taken? Have you installed proper drivers? Have you manually chosen to update drivers with the sdk drivers if in device manager is showing the nexus? Have you tried the drivers from Asus?

I personally did all of those things. After having the Nexus "forget" all the other PC authorizations on the dev screen, I finally got it to accept ADB commands, just not to properly install drivers that would allow me to browse files like it had done on 4.2.

Nexus doesn`t appears in device manager. At all. It starts to charage, but no reaction in device manager, no any reaction(except charging) at nexus. On computer it looks like i didn`t connect anything. I`ve trying to intall drivers as legasy hardware, but nothing changes. Sorry for my english.

Try turning off usb debugging. My tablet cannot connect to pc but with usb debugging off it at least recognises tablet as a media device and this enables me to view its files
.but still the problem of not being able to root
When I plug in my phone to my PC the only thing that happens is it begins charging. Doesn't show signs of adb working, only thing that happens beside charging is my pc says it's an Unknown Device.
I tried all sorts of things, like USB Debugging on and off, MTP on and off, PTP on and off, I think even fastboot doesn't work. I tried to install all kinds of drivers (official, unofficial, uninstalling them afterwards if they didn't work ofc), I tried Wug's toolkit, nothing. I tried killing adb server then restarting it - nope. I even tried all of my USB ports, both 2.0 and 3.0. Also tried 3 different roms/kernels (L dev preview, Purity and Mahdi), didn't work aswell.
Things seem pretty hopeless at this point :/

If it still says Unknown Device on your PC, its a driver issue. Personally I use the Google usb driver, that page also has instructions on how to install the driver. Try uninstalling whatever drivers you have installed right now, then install Google usb driver carefully following instructions. Fastboot needs bootloader mode, so make sure your phone is in that mode before trying a fastboot command. I use the Minimal adb installer to install adb/ fastboot tools.

Fastboot actually works, only ADB doesn't. I use the Android SDK to install adb/fastboot and I tried Google USB drivers and also Universal ADB. I tried the drivers from Wug's Nexus Toolkit and then LG drivers, same old story :/
Edit: I upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 using clean install, still same problem.

Might be windows 8/8.1 giving you driver signature grief. Try the Universal adb drivers:
