Cannot get drivers or usb debugging working - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just got my phone today and for some reason cannot install the drivers in order to root my phone. I've enabled developer mode also and usb debugging is also not recognized oh the device as showing up on screen although its checked as active. Could my drivers for the nexus 5, nexus 7 our old nook he be coming into conflict with the drivers from this device somehow? I've routed several phones and this is strange and unusual behavior to me. Any help would be appreciated.

It would help to know morea about what OS your using to root it. What have you tried so far? What cable are you using? Have you tried it on more then one machine? There is pertinent information missing that makes it hard to help. The old drivers might be causing a confict but I doubt it. However, if you think they are just uninstall them.

Does your phone appear in the device list on DDMS? If it doesn't then the drivers may not have been installed properly.
I had problems with my Photon after a Windows update botched my drivers. I reinstalled them and the problem was fixed.
I already fixed it. I just installed adb drivers and eclipse detected my phone.

[Q]Computer won't recognize phone?

When I plug my wife's phone into my computer it doesn't recognize it as a media device. It does recognize it as an adb device though so I was able to unlock the bootloader and root it. She wants me transfer music and can't, any ideas? Also when I plug in my nexus 4 it appears as a media device.

when you first put it in, did it download any drivers? if it didnt then go to lgs website and download them.
I got the same effing problem and haven't been able to figure out how to fix it. Every time I uninstall the phones drivers stupid windows will install it right back as adb device...

I have a similar problem with my wife's N4. Hers does not recognize as a MTP device nor as an ADB device. In device manager it shows it, but adb devices never lists it and it never shows up in Computer when I disable USB debugging. My N4 has no problems with either. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers and can't figure it out!
Weird thing though, it detects it in fastboot mode.
I just got off the phone with Google Play Devices support and explained the issue. They are assisting in getting an exchange.

I had this same problem, and it was the lack of drivers. Uninstall in device manager what you have, restart, then install the 4.2 Google SDK drivers. This works in Windows 8 without any extra procedures. I have the SDK installed, and directed the 'have disk' driver search to the SDK directory/extras/google. There were three adb drivers, and I installed them all. I really don't know what I'm doing, but that solved the problem.

Dude it's not the phone lol. It's the computer. When I plug my phone into my dad's computer it detects it fine. It happened on mine because I installed those adb drivers

What worked for me was uninstalling my old Motorola drivers and then using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995688 to uninstall the SDK drivers for the Nexus 4 that I had originally installed when I got the phone. Then I installed the drivers provided with the Nexus 4 Toolkit and everything works great. MTP, ADB, Fastboot, and the phone is recognized within CWM/TWRP.

I can uninstall the drivers just fine but when I plug in the nexus it automatically installs the adb drivers again..

have kind of a similar problem, but a bit different
my computer was able to detect the phone in mtp, adb and fastboot mode, installed the drivers, unlocked bootloader, and everything was fine
this morning the computer no longer able to detect the phone, but it still charges when i plug in the usb cable to the computer; cant transfer files, adb and fastboot list no devices, even device manager doesnt show the phone being plugged in
UPDATE: just tried on another computer, nothing... not even asking for drivers, and the phone doesnt even show it is connected in MTP mode like before... im screwed
I have a similar problem too..
My Nexus 4 works fine when I plug it into the computer, it shows the device just fine. But, when I plug my brother's Nexus 4 into my computer, it does not recognize it, it installed the drivers but I can't see the device in My Computer. In device manager, it shows up. With my brother's phone, I can mount it as Camera (PTP) and I can go into it, but it cannot detect it as a Media device (MTP)

Perhaps, in device manager, select the adb driver, right click to update, direct the update to have disk....SDK Google extras location?

Think I tried that before and windows said the drivers are already up to date

In my case anyway, its definitely not the computer. I have two identical, brand new Nexus 4 16GB phones. One is recognized with the appropriate drivers on my computer and the other is as well, however the second one does not show in My Computer nor get listed with ADB devices - unlike the first. The only difference between the two scenarios is the physical phone that is plugged into the computer.
Same with me, my phone works fine but when I plug my wife's in.. Nothing.

I haven't been able to fix it by the suggested methods.. When it's on the other mode for camera pics it works fine and in device manager I get under " portable device" nexus 4 showing up.. But when I switch it to MTP all I get is android adb interface in device manager and no nexus 4

Same for me. I did get it to read my wife's phone though by using the nexus 4 toolkit to uninstall then reinstall the drivers. Funny thing, now it reads her phone and not mine. D'oh!

[Q] Nexus charges on computer only

I have a problem with my Nexus 4...
When I first got it, it would connect to my computer and I could choose if I wanted MTP or the other one.
I rooted it at my friends house, unlocked the bootloader, but never flashed anything else on it, it was just rooted with unlocked bootloader. Just recently, maybe 3 days ago, when I plug in my Nexus into any computer, I mean any, Mac, Linux, and Windows... My phone doesn't recognize it and it just charges... USB Debuggig is enabled, I tried disabling it and it does the exact same thing.... Anyone have any ideas? I no longer have root because of the 4.2.1 update that wiped it... :/
Factory reset might eliminate the problem, Also when you connect the nexus 4 to your pc it should automatically install the drivers, but it might've bugged out. So my suggestion is you reinstall them. Here, I am making it easier for you:
http://theandroidrom.com/download-lg-nexus-4-usb-driver-for-windows/
Hope that helps!
I've tried factory reset. My phone doesn't give me any options when I connect to any computer. Just sits there charging from the computer. I'll try again with new drivers, but windows doesn't recognize it needing any.. :/ I'm gonna go into t mo and see if they can replace it.

Its not the drivers.. I'm gonna try and take it to T-Mobile.. Sucks though cuz I still have superuser app on my phone and can't remove it.

I've never installed Kies in my life, so I can't comment on it's functionality. nor am I stock...but before I rooted and started flashing, my Rogers S4 was stock.
I used the AT&T drivers to get it to connect in debug or MTP mode. Maybe they will help. You can find them HERE. click downloads or see all downloads and then EXE on the right for the USB Drivers...
still no luck

well I know those drivers work for fact. My Rogers S4 was running VLUAMDJ software...my computer installed some drivers but it didn't work...it never showed up. just like your symptoms. I uninstalled my existing Samsung drivers (which I downloaded when I got my Note 2)...reboot...install those drivers I linked you to, connected phone...detected right away and MTP started working as expected.
so you either have issues with your system (software wise), or it's a faulty cable. I'm going to lean towards the latter first. It's not the first time I've seen that. feel free to try another cable...also if you want...plug your phone in and take a shot of dev mgr and paste it so I can review...or PM me the pic if you prefer....
I thought kies had a troubleshooting mode. Have you tried that? It is referenced I the noob rooting video.
Here is pic for my dev mngr, I tried 3 usb cable, kies troubleshooting but still not showing up, when I plug my phone kies start-up but does phone does not show up in computer or kies.
Thanks for all reply, I can't send phone to Samsung for repair either because I bought from kijiji and Samsung warranty is not transferable

sorry forgot about the thread, my apologies. I haven't been using tapatalk as much recently, and that's where I used to check my participated threads.
I don't have those devices under ports if I have usb debugging on or off...weird. I'm on win8 x64...the only thing I didn't expand was Portable devices...I only have the two references in my dev mgr....
can you try uninstalling all the detected devices in dev mgr, and delete the driver from the system when doing so? then disconnect the phone, reboot, install those at&t drivers, then plug the phone in and test?
I want to recommend removing Kies before all of that, but not sure if you used it in the past, where it store the backed up data, etc..if you've never used it then please do uninstall Kies before what I mention above...
let me know.

I've installed those drivers on 3 different windows 7 systems this week and not one has failed to recognize MTP on the device first try...I even soft bricked my device a couple days ago, odin'ed back to VLUAMDJ stock, installed drivers on a win8 system that had never had an Android device plugged into it and wasn't connected to the internet (just installed those at&t drivers from a usb drive)...guess what...worked again..
It shouldn't work so easily for soo many people then not at all for you. I'm baffled at how easily it works for me even, and I've been trying to make it not work. I"m a technician I enjoy trying to break things to see if I can duplicate an issue, and fix it....and I can't duplicate your issue.
either something to with your USB port(s), or drivers (either mobo chipset or usb), or windows installation. if you have usb that are controller by a chipset like Intel then other USB that are another chipset, try on the other "bank" so to speak...you'd have ot know how to look for that if you had it though...or try it on someone elses computer with those at&t drivers. don't connect the phone until you install the drivers.
if it's not usb port(s), drivers, or the windows installation you either have 3 bad micro USB or you have a faulty USB port on your phone. or pocket lint preventing a proper connection (although I've assumed you've looked for that already)...those are the only things left.
Still no luck

[Q] PLEASE HELP!!! Cannot connect to computer!!!

Hey everyone, thanks in advance for the help. I just got a nexus 4 yesterday, that was already updated to 4.3 when I got it. My problem is when I go to unlock the boot loader, it won't recognize the phone. It says "list of devices attached" but doesn't give a serial number. Also, before this, it was giving a serial number, but was saying it was offline. So I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers. Any help is most appreciated.

You might need updated adb/fastboot exe/dll's. Grab them from a toolkit, that's what I did.

Try this... When you're connected to the PC , toggle USB debugging off and on.. It might ask for authorisation of ur PC in your phone.. Give yes.. Then do adb devices .. You might fight the offline thing gone

I did that, got it to boot into boot loader through adb, then my fastboot drivers wouldn't install. So I uninstalled everything and started from scratch and now I can't even get the serial number to come up.

Hmm.. doesn't it get shown as Android devices under device manager?
I too had a similar kind of problem with adb. I uninstalled the drivers manually and installed it again using Koush's Universal ADB (Android Debug Bridge) Driver for Windows. It has fastboot thing also. It worked for me.

You can also try someone else's PC or something. Install the drivers using the above link and just fastboot. Sorry, if that is of not much help. I'm new, both to this place and to this Nexus 4 device as well. All the best.
