I'm using the Asus Google Nexus ToolKit V3.8.2 (donated version).
With my first N7 I was able to unlock and root.
Now I exchanged it against the N7 3G (HSPA+). I was able to unlock the device and able to install the bootloader 3.34. But root does not work. I think it is because ADB does not recognize the tablet.
What happens:
1.) the start screen of the ToolKit does not show the serial in the adb device list (If I restart the tablet in fastmode it list the serial in fastmode device list)
2.) if I start the Root and the ToolKit wants to reboot in Fastboot Mode it says "Waiting for adb Mode".
3.) If I restart on my own in Fastboot Mode and start the Root procedure then it reboots the device and says "Procedure will continue in 20 seconds Waiting for USB debugging to be enabled". It does not help to re-activate the usb debugging mode and it doesn't help to re-connect the usb cable.
4.) I started cmd and changed to the "Google Nexus 7 ToolKit" folder to call "adb-toolkit devices". But it does not show any device. adb-toolkit kill-server and start-server doesn't help. usb reconnect doesn't help.
P.S. As I'm a new member I'm not able to post inside the official support thread, sorry.
It could be a driver issue on the pc..
try this
download a pc app called usbdview . Do a google search to find it..
Run the program on the pc without the nexus plugged in. Delete all adb/ usb devices that you do not have physically plugged into your computer.
Plug in the nexus 7 refresh the list . Delete what ever comes up for the nexus 7..
Reboot the computer WITH the nexus not connected..
Install the NEXUS DRIVERS.. plug in the nexus and the computer should find the device as if its the first time used.
Try you tool kit again...
Sometimes when adb is started and stopped if there are several versions Windows can be confused and not stop the right driver but start a older version instead VERY Common windows usb issue. This works with any USB Trouble shooting for devices not just Android...
Good LUCK ..
It's pretty obvious that you need to install the correct drivers for the Nexus 7 HSPA+.
I'm not the lowest of the low, but I am the slowest of the slow.

The nexus drives are a One driver for all Nexus Devices... This should only be a issue if there are multiple copies of usb adb in the windows registry . The usb drivers need to be removed then re installed or will just create more conflict. Usb Is NOT SO PLUG AND PLAY as it was intended.. Sometimes just plugging a usb device from one usb port to another in some computers can cause windows to install another copy of the driver. This is mostly on systems with a usb hub then a usb 2.o hub on a different port.. and so on.

This could it be. But I found a very simple solution:
stackoverflow.com/a/11991653/318765
When the Nexus 7 is plugged in there is a persistent notification that indicates "CONNECT AS / Media Device (MTP)". In this state adb devices will not show the Nexus, or undoubtedly any other device. Not exactly obvious, but if you select the second option "Camera (PTP)" the device is available for debugging (the lesson is ignore the camera, and focus on the protocol PTP).
This choice is persistent, and I'm guessing that with a band new device it will connect as MTP until told otherwise.

I am trying to connect my Nexus 4 to my PC and use the ADB commands. I have the following problems:
ADB driver is installed and "USB Debugging" turned on the Nexus 4. Device shows up on Device Manager, however "adb devices" does not list the device and unable to communicate with the attached device.
The Nexus drive, regardless of MTP or PTP disappears from Windows Explorer when "USB Debugging" is turned on, Turning off "USB Debugging" brings back the drive.
USBView shows the device with a RED light, but it appears working on Device Manager.
I do not have this problem with my other laptop and desktop.
Using Windows 7 x64 Ultimate and Nexus 4 - Stock 4.2.2
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I had sort of the same problem, try uninstalling the driver in device manager, then unplug and replug your USB. Then when you plugged in the USB go to device manager and right click on the device and click scan for hardware changes. See if that works.
I'm not sure if this is a problem caused by windows update or the new updated SDK, but it has been a big problem for me.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I tried your suggestion but it did not solve the problem. After re-plugging the USB, Windows listed the device as "Nexus 4" and did not find any drivers for it. I manually installed the Naked Drivers (proven to work on my laptop and desktop) but still facing the same problem
I really do not want to reinstall Windows!

OK try right clicking on the the device in device manager and choose update driver, then Browse my computer, then let me pick From a list of devices. After choose have disk on and find the file where your USB drivers are and click next. It may prompt you that windows can't verify the publisher Just click install this driver software anyway.
See if this works.

This is what I did and waited for the PC to install the adb drivers.
I plugged the phone in and with the USB plugged in turned it off while holding the volume up and down keys. This made my nexus 4 go into download mode and the PC automatically installed the adb drivers. After I just unplugged and held the power button to restart the device hope this helped.

When you uninstalled what's there now, you did make sure to check the box that will remove the old drivers from your PC?
Just in case, HERE is another source for the drivers.

Thanks to everyone for their help.
Just to confirm I have already tried:
Uninstalling the ADB driver via Device Manager and selecting "Delete the driver software for this device" and rebooting.
After reboot, Windows could not locate any drivers and I manually selected the drivers found inside the SDK (08/27/2012,7.0.0000)
The device shows up on Device Manager as working but does not work with adb commands. However, fastboot commands work!
I tried the above with the Naked Driver and had the exact result.
If I boot into the bootloader, I am able to run fastboot commands perfectly!
I have already ruled out my USB port as it works perfectly on VMware.
I am thinking my Windows 7 is messed up somehow and re-installation is looking like the only solution :crying:

4.2.2 requires updated adb and fastboot. It looks like you have an older version.
Click on the ota help desk link in my signature. The new version is attached to the first post. Replace the old adb and fastboot files with the new ones. Then try again.

Thanks. I tried version 16.01 and still have this problem.
The problem is whenever I uninstall/install the ADB driver or disconnect/reconnect the USB, **ONLY** the "Nexus 4" appears on the Device Manager which I manually install the ADB drivers to. There is not a second "Nexus 4" on the Device Manager for the MTP or PTP.
On my laptop when I remove all drivers and reconnect the USB cable, I always see 2 "Nexus 4" listed on Device Manager. One for the ADB interface and the other for the MTP or PTP.
Please help!
Any ideas please?
Any Solution to ADB connection problems?
Hi was there any solution to this, as I seem to have the same issue.
I have tried different drivers and MTP & PPP modes as well as loading the PDAnet drivers and software.
Each time now I take care to remove all the drivers and also delete the drivers in all modes (Android running and Bootloader running)!
MTP & PPP load different copies of the drivers.
I can get either "Nexus 4" showing up in the device driver or "Google ADB Interface" or Android ADB interface" according to the driver loaded.
I can see the device when Android is running ie "ABD Devices" gives me the serial number and connected, then I can send an ADB command "adb Reboot-bootloader" the Nexus then reboots into the bootloader screen, the device driver changes to the bootloader driver (installs if not installed) however then I loose connection to the Nexus phone! "ADB Devices" returns none connected.:fingers-crossed:
I also tried unplugging and plugging back in the phone in bootloader mode but do not get adb to see the handset or it to react to commands.
I'm just about ready to try a toolkit to see if I can get past this roadblock!!!
Current computer is Win7-x64
This weekend I will try on a different computer.....Win8-X64
All comments appreciated
That's because you cant use adb when in boot loader. You use fastboot

I have same problem on my work laptop DELL when my custom desktop machine works just fine with both Nexus 4 and 7. :/
I'm running Windows 7 64bit and followed the Ultimate guide to unlock and root my Nexus 4.
Everything went well but now it looks like that Windows won't recognize my phone as a device. When I plug in the phone, the auto-play window will pop out and recognize it as Nexus 4, but there is no other options. (Normally the auto-play will ask if open folder to view files or transfer photos). I can't see my phone in device manager either.
If I turn on the USB debugging mode, I can see it in device manager but still cannot see it in My Computer. Looks like Windows can't access the SD card at all.
I tried switching to the camera mode but the problem remained. Please help.

Maybe it's a stupid advice, but have you tried change the USB port in PC?

thanks for your advice. the problem is that, without USB debugging mode on, I can't see Nexus 4 in Device manager, even though the Windows Auto-play will say Nexus 4 connected. (Nothing in My Computer either)
With USB debugging mode on, I uninstalled the driver and Windows would try installing the driver. Now it shows up as MTP device with an exclamation mark. I tried manually update the driver (direct it to the Google SDK folder and pick the android_windowsusb.inf) but it says it does not support x64. I don't think the 64 bit driver is digitally signed.
I think I had a similar problem as yours. If you deleted the drivers while on debugging mode and reconnected after and it's showing the exclamation mark of a unknown device, try restarting your computer and plugging your phone back in.

i did and it remains the same.
Is there anyway I can know all the files names of the drivers so that I can manually delete them from system folder? When I uninstalled it from the device manager, I don't see the option "Delete the driver software for this device".
I can still see it under "adb devices" list.
I think there are some conflicts in the drivers.
Now when I connect Nexus 4 (without USB debugging mode on), it will show up in device manager under Android Device.
With USB debugging, it will then show up under Portable Devices.
However, it's supposed to work the other way around. that is (no USB debugging --> portable device; with USB debugging --> Android Device).
How can i solve this?
Have you tried manually installing the drivers before plugging in the phone, vs letting windows choose the drivers it wants to install? One option you could try is installing PDA Net on your pc. It will install reliable drivers on your pc.
i also had this same problem after flashing my first custom rom on the n4, and i also run windows 7 Ultimate x64
here is the process i use for full clean installation of device
on phone
goto SETTINGS > STORAGE > (menu) USB Computer Connection
make sure Media Device (MTP) is checked
With USB Debugging On
On your PC go to device manager
there should be 2 devices (Android Phone > Android Composite ADB Interface & Portable Devices > Nexus 4) - this is on a fully working n4 so you might only have 1 of them
Right click on each of them and click uninstall
The popup box should have another check box to delete the driver also, if this is available check it then confirm (note mine only has the box for Android Phone > Android Composite ADB Interface, but if yours has it on both then check it on both)
your computer will now ask you to restart, dont do it yet
repeat previous step for the other device if you have 2 then reboot
upon rebooting it will automatically start reinstalling drivers
by expanding the selection you should see 2 devices
Nexus 4 - Successful - Ready To Use (this is your MTP connection)
Nexus 4 - Unsuccessful - No Driver Found (this is your ADB Connection)
at this point you should be able to access internal storage however ADB will not work
go back into device manager
you should now have
Portable Devices > Nexus 4
and Other Devices > Nexus 4 (with yellow exclamation mark)
right click on the Other Devices > Nexus 4 (with yellow exclamation mark)
hit Update Driver Software
click Browse my computer for driver software
click Let Me Pick Drom a List of Device Drivers On My Computer
double click Show All Devices
click Have Disk...
click Browse
navigate to the download directory for the google usb drivers (for me this was "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\Android-SDK\Extras\Google\Usb_Driver")
double click on the android_winusb.inf file
click OK
double click "Android Composite ADB Interface"
it will then install the driver for ADB
you should now have full access to internal storage and ADB

thank you for your long and detailed reply.
this is what i wanted to do, but the problem is that when I uninstall them, I don't get to see the option "delete the driver software for this device". What should I? cuz every time I plug in Windosws just tries to automatically install the driver for me.
Have you tried toggling to ptp mode then back to mtp on your phone. It's odd indeed.
The fact that you can't remove the driver is because that is the mtp one which is built in to media player. Let me give this some more thought
EDIT: You said that with USB debugging disabled your device is listed under device manager as an android device
can you check and verify exactly what it is listed as? as it should be portable device

I have this same issue I'm trying to find a fix, that's how I found your thread. Alex gave very good info make sure you go back to his posts and hit his "Thanks" button, I did it on everyone one of his posts in this thread. I'm starting to think it's a hardware issue and not a software issue, I've never had this issue on any device. When I got it new running stock 4.2.2 MTP didn't work. ADB works and PTP works, just not MTP no matter what I try. I recommend you learn to use, ADB push and pull to move your files if you don't already know how to use it (To use ADB I need to check PTP for it to work and not MTP) you might need to do the same. I will keep you posted if I find a fix.

I'm just getting more and more confused with this.
If Adb works then you must have an Adb driver installed for the phone. However your also stating that you get no box for uninstall driver.
With USB debugging disabled you said that it appears as an android phone rather than a portable device. This should not be.
With debugging disabled what happens if you Try to uninstall in device manager

My theory still stands that you have updated the mtp driver with adb drivers. Hence why mtp doesn't work but ptp does.
The problem is getting to a position where you can uninstall the adb drivers from the mtp device and let it reinstall the proper drivers

I plugged another Nexus 4 in, and all the drivers loaded perfectly. I then tried my Nexus 4 phone, and nothing happens. No mtp, no adb, no boot loader drivers. Its my phone. My next step is to find a zip file that I can flash via custom recovery, which will bring all the binaries and ROM back to stock. Anybody know where I can find this? I'll probably lose the custom recovery, but hopefully it will be fixed and I can flash the custom recovery again.

Anyone else with problems seeing the storage after plugging into PC? adb command works and device drivers installed. Found another forum where turning the usb from MTP to charging and back under developer options does the trick. I have a non stock ROM and seeing if fresh out of the box experiences the same thing.
I have the same issue and can't seem to figure out how to get it to work. My work around has been to use ES File Explorer and open Remote Manager.
Edit: I just plugged it in again to see what I can find. I turned off USB Debugging and Developer Options. Plugged in and pulled the notification bar down, there is an option to change USB Settings to Charging, Power Supply, File Transfers (this works), Photo Transfer and MIDI. Give it a go!

You chose to install the drivers manually instead of having the system do it for you? Right click the yellow exclamation .. update drivers .. allow me to pick .. choose the download file location see what that gives you.

When I choose the location, I see a bunch of options. The most relevant ones are ADB Interface and Android Device. Under Android Device there are several more options such as Android Adapter Interface, Android Bootloader Interface, and the such; no mention of MTP.

I installed that application and I was able to see my device, the apps, the contacts, everything. EXCEPT I wasn't able to access the device from Windows Explorer which means I am not able to transfer files.

So when you change the option in the phone from charging to file transfer, did you check the device manager to see if there any unknown device showing somewhere?

Changing it from charging to MTP shows a MTP device in Manager with a yellow exclamation mark next to it. When looking into the details, it says that no drivers are installed. When I try "Updating Drivers", it says "Windows failed to install drivers. Code 28" or something along those lines. Code 28 MEANS that Windows failed to install drivers.
Thanks for nothing Microsoft.
Nexus 6p Connection to PC Issue - This Helped!
I had similar problems with PC not recognising my Device. I found http://www.technobuzz.net/install-google-nexus-6p-usb-drivers/ which helped me solve my issues.
1. Downloaded and installed the Huawei Nexus 6p drivers. This installed a Huawei Task Manager which connection to pair was still not recognisable.
2. Deleted old drivers (acer, samsung, htc) from' Device Manager'. This actually helped PC recognise my device which showed up in the Device Manager>Other Devices>Nexus 6p, also in PC interface but once moved off charging to MTP, computer didnt recognise device.
3. Downloaded and installed the adb/fastboot installer. Followed instructions till step 10. My screen didn't show anything like Andoid ADB interface, it displayed MTP file install, which I installed. Just remember to refresh in My PC interface when changing over from charging to MTP, sometimes Nexus 6p will be hidden.
4. Uninstalled the Huawie Task Manager.
This has solved my problem with PC and Device connection. The instructions given are from what I can recall of the process I went through.
Credit to Sidharth Rathore from Technobuzz for this solution.
Hope this helps.
Later.
p.s. I have a windows 10 laptop if this helps.

I was having the same issue until I uninstalled some other debugging drivers I had installed. So I would recommend crawling through your installed apps for any other android usb drivers and uninstalling them if you still have this issue.
Working on mine right now. Found that USB 3.0 ports will not recognize device. Once plugged into a 2.0, it is recognized. Might help your issue
I cannot get ADB to recognize my Note 7. I've installed the ADB & FastBoot 15-second install from the XDA forum, but when I plug my N7 into the PC it only recognizes it as a USB drive.
Dev options enabled,
USB Debugging enabled
USB configuration (MTP mode)
The only entries under Other in Device Manager are CDC and MTP, no Android Device. The phone is also listed under Portable Devices. No USB mode brings up "Android" in the list of devices under Other.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Do you have proper Samsung usb drivers installed? Check your device manager, just asking sometimes phones can be finicky when trying to get the PC to recognize devices.
Thanks carelockh! That did the trick. I looked in Device Manager and found that only the Windows USB device driver was installed. I downloaded and installed the Samsung driver and was able to connect over ADB.
No problem, anytime glad I could help.
