Make sure you set as Mtp.

Try this driver.

PTP should be selected within Storage in Settings, not MTP. USB Debugging of course. Also, you should have downloaded Google USB Driver Rev. 6 within the SDK. That's what worked for me when i was having trouble getting it to show up, hope that helps.

Yup - setting it as PTP worked for me - thanks.

neither method PTP or MTP is working for my mac. any more ideas for a MAC?

Try the driver from Asus
Hi,
I can only tell you what worked for me, which may not be so helpful since this is the first device I've ever hacked into.
If you see the Nexus 7 driver disabling/enabling in Widows Device Manager as you toggle "Enable USB Debugging" on the tablet, you most likely are using a driver that cannot interface with ADB. Try going to Asus and download the Nexus 7 ADB driver--it's up there (21 Sep 2012). Install it in your C: drive somewhere you can locate easily, and tell device manager to update the Nexus 7 USB driver. It should work--mine runs like a spotted ape now.
Happy Trails,
Dorsal

Also, make sure you have java installed. That's what messed me up when I was first trying to set up.

[Q] Nexus 4 ADB on Windows 7 Home

After several hours of frustration, I'm just going to ask.
I have USB debugging enabled. When I plug in the Nexus 4 Windows auto installs drivers for MTP.
It's listed under portable devices in device manager. I am trying to uninstall the driver and install the Naked driver. But as soon as I uninstall in device manager, Windows reinstalls, despite me having turned off auto-installation of drivers. I am not able to use the advanced method listed here http://www.addictivetips.com/window...utomatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista because gpedit.msc doesn't exist for Home users.
I have unplugged the device and manually put it into Fastboot and plugged it in. Windows does not try to autoinstall drivers. I am able to install Naked drivers and the device appears as "Android Phone" in device manager.
How can I proceed?

The problem is that Windows is auto-installing the driver as soon as I uninstall it from device manager. I have this setting disabled in Device Installation Settings but nevertheless it continues auto-installing.

When you plug in your n4 in your pc, does it allow you to open the folder for your phone. If it does the drivers are installed. Mine n4 did the same as you when I plugged it in my PC, and did show Android in the device manager.

Use the nexus 4 toolkit to do it.

It's showing up as portable device, not as Android when MTP is connected. If I manually boot into fastboot, and connect to PC it will show as Android.
Nexus 4 toolkit doesn't work. When I connect the device, it still only shows up as MTP device connected.
How can I stop the "Nexus 4" driver from auto installing the MTP driver?

You could try this installer. If a prompt ever says not to install a driver just do it anyway.

I was having the same issues, toolkit didnt work, auto kept auto installing MTP only, junefabrics.com didn't work by itself, LG drivers didn't work. finally I tried the drivers in sig and adb was installed but the tool kit still didn't recognize it. I ran the one from junefabrics.com after that and hit no to not reinstall the drivers when it asks, but it's hanging when installing pdanet on my phone.

im in the same boat

I'm having these same issues. Very frustrating.
Just fixed the problem by following the directions in this post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34154052&postcount=7
His instructions about cmd prompt didn't work for me, so in device manager I selected View -> Show Hidden Devices.
I removed all android, nexus, other android phones and then reinstalled the drivers via the toolkit. Seems to be working so far!

The MTP driver will always install as that's nothing to do with adb. If you open Device Manager it should have the other option - you then manually install the driver by browsing the the drivers folder when using the 'Update driver' option in the right-click menu when you click on it in Device Manager

tried pda but failed
its caused by the android 4.2.2 update...

For anyone still having problems, these are the steps I followed that fixed it for me. (After updating to the latest sdk version and downloading the google usb driver)
1. Uninstalled the driver from Device Manager
2. Let it automatically install the generic 'MTP device driver'
3. Right clicked on the new device and selected 'Update Driver'
4. Selected 'Have Disk' and pointed it to [android-sdk-dir]\extras\google
5. Watched an 'ADB' driver install.
6. Opened Eclipse to successfully run on my N4.

[FIX] [Nexus 7] Windows 7 MTP Fix and More

After Playing around for hours, I've discovered the following method to FIX Windoze 7 Nexus 7 (N7) MTP mounting. Using PTP (mount as camera) is mostly useless since it limits the type of files you can exchange. To set up your Nexus 7 (2012 at least) Follow the Following Steps:
Put N7 in MTP mode
Connect to windows
Open 'My Computer'
If the N7 is not there, open 'Device Manager' (Right click on 'My Computer' and select 'Manage')
If connected in 'Device Manager' as ADB device at the top of the list:
Open up 'Developer Options' on the N7 (Should be at the bottom of the 'Settings' list. if it's not there tap on 'About Tablet' then at the bottom, tap on 'Build Number' seven (7) times. Then go back to 'Settings' and 'Developer Options' will be the second from the bottom of the list)
Un-check USB debugging... see if N7 appears in My computer
Then, while connected, re-enable USB debugging
It'll probably go away again...
Go back into 'Device Manager'
Uninstall driver for ADB device *Including local files*
Wait about 15 seconds
Scan for hardware changes
Your PC should re-install the correct drivers
That's it... This method has worked for a number of people I have chatted with so, hopefully it'll work for you.

No matter what I do, I cant get MTP to install. I'm using Vista. I was able to transfer data before, I dont know what changed. I tried to install MTP with Debugging on and off to no avail. I'm also using a Nexus 10.

I'm not sure. I downloaded the SDK Manager and Samsung Keis but deleted it(Keis) after I started having the problem. I got a Nexus 10 though, not a N7.

If you have android 4.3, I recommend going into developer options and selecting revoke USB debugging, then uninstall the Windows drivers in device manager (all while disconnected) then run SDK manager and update all. Then make sure the N10 is in USB debugging, restart your N10 & pc. When they're fully booted plug in the N10 and look on the screen to see if it asks for permission to connect to this pc in USB debugging mode... see what happens. I don't have an N10 but this might work... Then if not, maybe try the steps in the OP

Can't get win xp to read my Nexus 7 after wugfresh root

Hi, I was so happy that after suffering from trying to root my Nexus 7 with wugfresh toolkit, finally got the job done (driver installation problem then mtp change to camera). Now after another several hours of trying, re-installing drivers and everything else I've read around nothing seem to make windows xp detect my nexus 7 as mtp for file transfer. I must add that before I started the whole rooting process, it was working fine, I mean the whole file transfer thing. Am I still missing something?
I just want to be clear though that I do not blame wugfresh toolkit and thankful in fact for that.

Turn USB debugging off , then see if it detects it

I have tried that on multiple cases. My PC would sound meaning there was something plugged in/out in the usb but still nothing appears in windows explorer..

I've got windows xp as well ... Does the sound have 2 dings or 3 when connected?
Also try rebooting both computer and tablet
Edit: go to developer options, under USB debugging there is ' revoke USB debugging authorisation' .. Click that while connected
Hope that helps

Just the two beeps that means something was plugged in...Also tried the revoke option, still nothing. I see that my pc acknowledges the Nexus & but not as mtp because the option to safely remove my device is present but no drive letter was assigned to it and I couldn't see the device in windows explorer. What else could I try?:crying:

All I can think of now is to reinstall the drivers
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app

Done that too. I'm thinking about re-using samsung drivers instead as it worked fine before I went through the rooting process. I'll try it out later today and post results.

Finally got it...I would like to give credits and thanks to the members in this link (threadstarter and all those who contributed in it):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1934306
So to sum it all up, I had to manually reinstall/update the driver -> selected "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)" -> clicked "Don't search, I will choose the driver to install." ->then seleted "MTP Device"
Note: at first it had problems but as stated in the link, I downloaded Microsoft MTP Port Kit (mtppk12.exe), installed it and voila!
So happy right now...thanks for the help! :victory:

[Q] Windows not allowing me to install drivers

My device is currently allowing debug mode. It is not rooted nor unlocked.
I plugged in my device and windows gave this weird sound (sorta sounded like three low beats in quick succession). I went to my device manager and it shows a Nexus 4 with an exclamation icon.
I opened up the properties and it says
"The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)
There is no driver selected for the device information set or element.
To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver."
This is due to the fact that i uninstalled the drivers manually so i can try to reinstall them but when I chose to update the drivers and navigated to my /extras/google/usb_driver folder but immediately after i click the next button for it to install it brings up a window that says
"Windows could not find driver software for your device.
If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit its website and visit its support section for driver software."
this comes up immediately after clicking next, if i choose to search online for driver software this same window pops up after about a minute.
What is going on and why wont it allow me to install my drivers?

Pull down from the top of your screen and select Connected as a media device to switch to PTP.
Have you installed any other USB devices lately?
Have you tried rolling back the drivers on your PC if they've been updated?
You could also follow a tool kit like Wugs for the driver installation. You don't have to root or unlock your bootloader with it.

When i plug my device in only one thing appears on the pull down menu. It says
"USB debugging connected
Touch to disable USB debuggin"
and if i touch it it brings up the developer options screen in the settings.
There is no thing that says "Connected as" or any other meaning of the words in my pull down menu.
Thanks for the link to the toolkit, if no one has any other suggestions i will attempt to use that (and hopefully that works).
EDIT: I tried using the toolkits usb driver installation guide and i get the same error..

Plug your phone in USB to your computer and go to your Device Manager. Under "Android Device" you should see something along the lines of "Google Nexus 4 ADB Interface". Right click, go to uninstall and then check off "Delete the driver software for this device." After this I unplugged my phone and rebooted. You may or may not need to put your phone into fastboot and uninstall the "Google Nexus 4 BootLoader Interface" driver as well (to get them both) -- I really don't remember.
I used to use toolkits as well, but I've grown to be independent of them and like to get more involved than I once did.

The short version: You said you were given the option to "Update driver". Just click that and then, from the List, pick USB Composite driver.
