What problem do you have with your device that it doesn't connect to your pc? Does it show up in device manager as anything? Have you tried installing usb drivers?

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.

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

Did you check MTP? Driver installed?
I guess there's no driver installed. How can i install the mtp driver if my computer doesn't recognize my nexus 4 sir.

Well, you can theoretically take the stock ROM and stock recovery and flash them, and then use bootunlocker to lock your bootloader, and then removing root from within the root app.
U could do that but it still leave the same problem with the USB not able to connect to the device

same problem
Can't connect to pc for adb & file transfers etc, thought it was a faulty usb connector.
Replaced usb port-microphone part, but problem still persists.
Tried everything, factory reset, flash stock zip, different cables, different computers, re installed drivers & 1000 reboots.
Just keep getting the same result, USB device not recognized. code 43.
I did replace the battery not long ago, but put the old one back in and it still does the same thing.
What could the problem be? If i can replace something, what would that be? :silly:
Bonehead move I know. Now I need some help to fix. I flashed a stock 5.0 ROM and everything was working fine. Got the 5.0.1 prompt so I flashed a stock recovery (4.4.4 hence my problem). Of course the update wouldn't flash. Now to complicate things all of a sudden my PC won't detect my Nexus 4. It detects my wife's Nexus 4 fine so I'm thinking not a cable or driver problem. Ive tried multiple cables and reinstalled drivers with no luck. So now I need to root and or install custom recovery without a PC. Any ideas?

You're going to need to get your pc to recognize your device. When booted into the bootloader and your device connected to the pc look in device manager. What does it show?

It doesn't show anything. Its as if it isn't connected at all. I've tried from the bootloader and recovery screens and also rebooted both phone and pc. Still shows nothing in device manager. Phone shows charging but no mtp notification or anything that it is connected. As soon as I plug our other nexus 4 in the pc recognizes it immediately.

I would try deleting your usb drivers on the pc, rebooting and then trying your device again. Flashing the 4.4.4 recovery should not have done anything to mess up your device

To root your device use towelroot from your device. Although I don't know what you're going to do with root. Also, can you get the device detected by your pc when you're booted into recovery or the device?

Towelroot wouldn't work. Says device isn't supported. Maybe it will get updated to work on lollipop. If I could obtain root I can flash custom recovery and start with a fresh install. Just have to find a way to do it with an app

This is why I don't recommend tool kits. I don't what you did to the device. I would try to do a factory reset in the stock recovery. It will wipe your device. Locking the phone won't do anything so don't bother with that.

It's sounding like a hardware problem. I would try flashing the factory image with fastboot. Is your device recognized by your pc when you're booted into the bootloader? If not, go to device manager on your pc. Is there a device with a yellow exclamation mark. If so right click on it and go to where it lets you choose from a list on your computer. Choose android adb composite interface.
