[SOLVED] Nexus 4 Completely Unrecognized - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, well, i'm having a little problem here, the thing is, my Nexus 4 is not recongnize at all by the computer, any computer, i already tried another computer, another usb cable, clearing cache, reset the device, usb debugging on and off, MTP and PTP and nothing, i'm using Archlinux and i think that the problem is not the computer because the Nexus 7 (2012) is recognize just fine, i believe that the problem started with Towelroot because before that everything was ok, i can't even update the OTA for the 4.4.4 because it sends an "error" when updating. Another thing, the phone charges so that is interesting.
I'm dying here
Any solution or comment please.
Thanks.

were you typing from a device? lol didn´t see the Sent from, "i haz the dumb" :/
now from on topic:
delete every adb / nexus related driver(don´t know how to do so in Linux) and try again.
in Windows when i rooted my n4, i had to turn on usb developing untill i deleted the driver and installed the universal one

Hello, first, thanks for answering.
Well, i'm always been stock, never tried another ROM.
I'm scared about the idea of the USB port problem, but if it's the port, why charges normal in USB? Pretty interesting.

It's working now, had to remove and install again SDK tools from the computer and reset the phone but it's solved.
Thanks a lot :laugh: :good:

Download and install kies, the drivers are then automatically installed.

hello there have kies on thr pc still wont find the drives when i plug the phone in to the pc it comes up unknow drive

1st: drivers without the Kies: Feel free to search by yourself next time
2nd: I'd try on another computer/with another cable first, but for me, if phone is not recognised by PC after PHONE flashing, I'd say that drivers are OK, but you have messed something up on the phone...

[Q] nexus 4 debugging not working :(

Hey guys! So I just got a nexus 4 today and I went to use wugfresh nexus root toolkit, did it successfully (unlocked boot loader, rooted it), as soon as I took it out of the box. I got a system update right after I did all that, so I updated it. Now I lost root, and when I go to root it again, I can't seem to get the adb thing to work, it says its offline due to some security thing on 4.2.2, and I tried everything it said to get debugging to work, and nothing works! I unchecked and checked it again, plugged in a different USB port, restarted phone and computer countless times, and even tried it on a galaxy nexus to see if the box comes up with the computer fingerprint thing, and it didn't work on that either :/ is this a computer issue? How can I fix it? Any help would be great, thanks!
Try changing storage from MTP to PTP and checking unchecking debugging as new drivers may need to install.

How do you do that? Sorry I'm a bit of a noob
You need updated adb for 4.2.2.

Not using a tool kit for starters. Look at the sticky in q&a about rooting.

I'll check it out, thanks. But weird thing is, I rooted a nexus 7 on 4.2.2 with no problem using the same tool kit, and the box with the computer fingerprint showed up after clicking on android debugging enabled, so idk why it isn't working with the gnex and n4 :/
i tried what you said, it doesnt work. in command prompt i get error: device offline.
what do i do now? :/

Search for naked driver in the forum and update you drivers.
Also use MTP checked in settings, It will prompt you to choose when you connect the phone to pc. :good:
Link : Naked Driver
follow it properly..

[Q] [URGENT] Need help accessing files on my Nexus 4!

Im in dire need of help here. I sold my phone through ebay today and have been rushing round to restore the phone to default. In the process I have wiped my phone of everything up to installing the factory 4.3 rom onto the phone.
Unfortunately, I cant access the phone via my computer! Ive tried installing drivers but I cant access the storage to put the rom onto the phone for me to install it and I'm tearing my hair out over this.
Please tell me theres a way to do this!
Thanks in advance!
PS. Windows 8.1, TWRP recovery.

You don't copy anything onto the phone... You flash it in fastboot. Plenty of threads about this.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
To restore the phone to stock you need to use fastboot, not flash through custom recovery, otherwise the phone still isn't stock and they won't receive updates.
Just follow these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34552123
For Windows 8 to install the driver you need to reboot into advance mode and press F7 at the menu to disable driver signature, adb/fastboot and driver link in my signature.

I used the fastboot guide and it worked. Thanks for your help everyone!

I got them from the motorola Website and also installed what the auto start up when you connect it to the computer and neither will work.
I got mine from moto as well... Using 64x win 7 pro... Maybe do the basic trouble shooting... Reboot PC ... Alternate cable and port... Uninstall drivers... Reinstall drivers... Use a port on the back of the PC rather then the front... No hub... No extension... Stuff of that nature

I tried it again with no luck...removed all drivers from the pc...rebooted ...installed again with the latest drivers rebooted again plugged in with a brand new usb cable that came with this new phone, plugged directly back into usb 2.0 ports and still not a darn driver was installed. I wonder if motorola changed something on the Razr M as this is a brand new phone from verizon. I'm running windows Factory Windows 7 64 bit. I even tried this same thing on another computer running the same and got the same results. I tried various drivers from various websites for flashing and rooting and none of those helped either ...this has me stumbed. Issue with the phone maybe
Have your phone setup for USB debugging in settings?
I also think there's a toggle somewhere to use phone for USB or media storage.
I have Win 7 64bit at home and sometimes its finicky.
Also on your PC through System Settings I think uninstall all if your USB ports and reboot. Let your computer reinstall the USB drivers and then make sure you plug into a USB 2.0 port, not 3.0.
Not sure what brand you're using, but I know Dell can be a pita with USB drivers.

I give it another shot. I made sure usb debugging was enabled and switch between MTP and Camera with no results. I have tried on a IBM thinkpad win 7 64 bit ..dell pc win 7 64 bit and all the same results.
no luck as I thought it would ...blah sucks
