USB tethering doesn't work after rooting - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I rooted my device recently. I can't use USB tethering feature to connect to the internet on PC anymore. I have uninstalled the drivers required during root. It works well as media storage device.

Try flashing another kernel I recommend Semaphore http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/orig-development/kernel-semaphore-n4-2-2-2-t2232898

delete every nexus / adb related driver and use universal naked driver
(you might need to turn off driver signature checking)

Storage, settings, usb computer connection, check mtp.

Also make sure android debugging is enabled in developer options

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.

Nexus 7 doesn't get detected on my laptop

When I plug my nexus 7 in, it doesn't get detected, I've installed the drivers, but I don't think it worked :/ really need help!!!

What OS on the laptop?
Are you using the OEM battery USB cable?
I'm running W7 and used the USB cable that comes off the charger and it detected fine. Do a shutdown/restart on the laptop and the same on the N7.
If it's a mac you need a specific download for it. Look through the nexus 7 manual in Google books for what you need.

Windows XP and yes I'm using OEM cable

I might be wrong, but I don't think Windows XP supports the MTP protocol that the Nexus 7 uses (no more Mass Storage Driver).
I think you might be able to get XP to see your Nexus by downloading the software package referenced at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=19153
If you haven't already found a fix, a simple restart of my computer always fixes it for me. My galaxy nexus, transformer prime, and nexus 7 all have had this happen for me and I just reboot to fix it

you coudl also change the nexus from mtp to ptp..
MTP on window XP-SP3
For window XP check your Window Media Player version. If it's version 9 or older, MTP is NOT supported.
You can update Window Media Player to version 11 (some say that 10 would do it too, but I tried 11 and
it worked for me). This will enable winXP-SP3 to support MTP. This download is available directly from
MS or on Cnet.
Good luck
Thank you will test now will report back later

Doesn't work I installed mp11 didn't work install mtp didn't work. Rebooted my nexus 7 and laptop didn't work. It works when I'm recovery because it detects it but only installs the drivers and fails

MTP on window XP-SP3
It worked for me. After I installed WMP 11, my N7 showed up in My Computer and I could drag/drop files to/from it.
I used the download from CNET at
http://download.cnet.com/windows-media-player/?tag=contentMain;contentBody;1d
You may also have a "stale" already installed USB driver for the N7 that was not correct in
which case you'll have to muck with the "Device Manager" (Control Panel->Sys->Hardware->DeviceManager)
to remove or update the driver for the N7. Make sure you know which driver is the N7, you don't want to remove
drivers for other devices that are working for you.
Good luck

[Q]MTP not detecting on laptop

Hi guys, I have my N4 for about a month now but since I got it I never got MTP to detect on my laptop. I was only transferring my files through PTP(camera mode) and bluetooth so far. Now I want to transfer my Band road backup and flash custom roms so that would require me to browser through the folders on the laptop.
PTP mode only works when USB debugging is ticked though. And MTP is nowhere near. When using PTP I have to manually move the files to correct folders after disconnecting the phone from pc.
I have rooted, unlocked so i think drivers are all fine right?
I thought about Wifi transfer and such but I have limited bandwidth here and only have one laptop to try.

Reinstall drivers from the Nexus 4 toolkit. Go in to device manager and see if it says "Galaxy Nexus ADB Interface" (yes Galaxy Nexus). If it does, then enable USB debugging. It will show up.
Yep, unload and reinstall the driver.

The problem for me was Windows media player, i had to install that to be able to connect my nexus 4 through MTP to my computer.
Dont know if it helps for you, but you can try it!
What os is your laptop running? if XP then search for mtp xp fix.
Got it working. yay! Thanks guys!

[HELP NEEDED] Tethering Nexus 4 to Windows XP.

Hello I tried using the USB Tethering option on my Nexus to tether it to my Windows XP PC since it doesnt have a WiFi Adapter. I installed the RNDIS Module Driver by using the tetherxp.inf file from Google's Support Page. Since it didnt work I had to look up what I had to do and many said that I have edit the tetherxp.inf device id to match my Nexus 4's ID, I did it and I managed to install it and finally got the RNDIS detected however I get an error in Windows that it cannot start the device (Code 10) reinstalling the driver doesn't work. I tried ActiveSync but it only works in Windows 2000. Help please?!
