[Q] Can't connect to Windows 8.1 - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've tried every solution I could find, and nothing works.
My phone shows up in Device Manager, but not under my devices in My Computer.
What do I do?

In device manager, click uninstall and also uninstall the driver. Disable USB debugging and connect again... What happens?

just in case:
make sure to connect it to a USB 2 port. nexus 5 does not play well with USB 3 ports.

some users faced problems in drivers on window 8.1 so to solve this issue:
Code:
1) From the Window 8.1 Start screen, move your mouse to the top (or bottom) right corner, and click Settings;
2) Click "Change PC Settings";
3) click Update and Recovery;
4) Under Advanced startup, click "Restart Now";
5) Wait for it to restart;
6) Click "Troubleshoot";
7) Click "Advanced options";
8) Click "Startup settings";
9) Click "Restart";
10) Wait for it to restart;
11) Press F7 (i.e, the F7 function key);
Now you can install the driver.

[Q] Media Manger

Hey guys so im getting the nexus 5 the thing is i want it to be my main music player but what ive noticed with my nexus 7 is that MTP does not seem to work well with windows 8 and i mean it doesn't show up as a device anywhere on the system ive tried using USB Debug and it does work but no way to transfer my music
Any Ideas thanks
I've never used Windows 8, but I couldn't get my Nexus 5 to show up at all on Windows 7.
Here's what fixed it:
1) With the phone plugged in go to device manager (Run: devmgmt.msc)
2) At the top there will probably be something along the lines of "Android device", expand this and you'll get "Android Composite ADB interface" (or something similar, can't remember exactly)
3) Double click the ADB Device, go to driver & click uninstall, when a box pops up tick the box to delete drives & press ok
4) Unplug & plug back in the Nexus 5. The drivers should install again. Now if you go to device manager the Nexus 5 will appear under Portable Devices
5) Celebrate
So i can use adb and manage my media on the same machine

Yes, once you've got the drivers re-installed correctly you can do what you want.
I think this happens when Windows uses the drivers from your old android phone for the Nexus 5. i.e. It doesn't realise you've changed phone. (although I could be wrong)
Thanks this worked for me!

Hey i can confirm it works on Win7 64bit Nexus 5 :good::laugh:

PC won't read my nexus 5

Ive tried everything my pc doesn't recognize my nexus 5, downloaded google drivers, updated adb and nothing.
When i go to device manager I can't find it.
When I go to devices and printers i can see nexus 5 but can't access it.
When i switch to PTP THe device works but MTP doesn't. USB debug on and off don't help either help?
I deleted now every driver installed phone shows up as android adp when connected but can't access it or nothing?
IT works fine on other pc
hey had the same problem. The solution below worked for me...
1. Enable USB debugging: Go to phone settings -> About -> Tap build number repeatedly until developer menu is enabled. Go there and tick USB debugging.
2. On your PC, go to your device manager (when the Phone is plugged in and set to MTP), locate the phone, right click on it -> properties
3. go to the Driver tab
4. click Update Driver
5. click Browse my Computer for driver software
6. click Let my pick...
7. select USB Composite Device
8. finish up with the assistant
This is going to be stating the obvious, but do you have a screen lock code? PCs will recognise the device, but wont let you access unless unlocked

That worked perfectly. Thanks man! I was starting to pull my hair out.
Ok I'm having this same issue. Completely stock right now. It makes the notification sound like its connected but can't locate it on mtp. I tried to follow this guide, however I can't locate the device in device manager on mtp. It shows fine on ptp. Please advise....thanks
Edit: I saw a download to add mtp capabilities to my win7 machine. Thing is, it works no problem with my galaxy s3 now so that couldn't be the issue
Watch, as I combine all the juice from my mind...

Ok, i tried like everythin.. all that pops up is that nexus 5 don't have any driver / and access denied.. my nexus is at 4.4.3 software.. and i cant connect my N5 as PTP aswell... seems like i'm really stuck here :/ i'll try to reinstall my USB drivers, mabye that helps somehow... But, would everythin be easier if i Root my N5 ?
Sorry for crappy english
The reason why I gave you the link was for you to do a manual installation of the Nexus 5 drivers. Even if you're going to root, you still need your PC to recognize your phone. When browsing your computer for driver software in Step 5, point to the file you downloaded from the link.

If it helps, I had two Samsung devices prior to this phone.

I just got a Nexus 5 and Windows 8 (had to upgrade my life). This may be an obvious question, but once in Device Manager, where to I "locate the phone". I've done your previous steps but don't know where the phone it located.

I can help you . I just had the same issue. I forgot how lol. Let me see. Uninstall the drivers and turn off the USB debugging mode and turn off development mode. Disconnect the nexus and reconnect and profit? I'm pretty that's the fix because I had the same issue for an hour and I fix it myself.

adb devices
look at your device screen to allow adb
please be sure before that "usb debug" is enabled from developer options.

Hello m8!
I want you to try this on Windows 8.1 step by step:
1. Download and install Android SDK and make sure you have downloaded the latest USB Driver from SDK Manager.
2. Now connect your nexus 5 to your windows pc and open Device Manager (Control Panel -- Device Manager)
3, Now select your nexus 5 (it will be displayed as usb mobile or some random name). Right click and click on "Update driver software"
4. Now on the next screen select "Browse my computer for driver software" and navigate to "xxxx/Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver" (xx being the path where you've installed the SDK).
5. Put a tick on "Include sub folders" and hit next.
Driver will be installed again successfully and you will be able to use adb commands!
If not, disconnect your device. Go to settings-developer options and select "Revoke USB Debugging authorization". Now again connect your Nexus 5 to your PC and accept the Authorization message you will get.
I'm sure this will work.

OK as you said you have followed the steps in the linked post. I will assume you have already downloaded and extracted the latest_usb_driver_windows.zip.
I Use windows 8 but the procedure should be the same for Vista / 7 / 8
Here is what to do.
1. Put your phone in recovery.
2. Plug into PC
3. Go To Device Manager
4. Right click "AOSP on hammerhead".
5. Choose "Update Driver Software..."
6. Click "Browse my computer for driver software"
7. Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
8. Click "Have Disk..."
9. Click "Browse..."
10. Navigate to the extracted Driver you downloaded. (in my case V:\Downloads\latest_usb_driver_windows\usb_driver\)
11. Double click on android_winusb.inf
12. Click "OK"
13. Click "Android Composite ADB Interface" and press Next. (If it is not in the list, untick the "Show compatible hardware button at the top)
Your driver will now install and you should be able to use ADB normally in recovery
To make adb works in recovery you need the naked usb drivers
Tapatalk-kal küldve az én Nexus 5-el
You don't need the naked USB drivers at all.
I use the Google USB drivers and they work fine in recovery.
The problem he is having is that windows has automatically installed a different driver than what is needed for adb to work.
Manually updating the driver to the Google adb driver as shown in my previous post will get the op running without having to download anything extra

Can you check if you can use adb remount when the phone is fully booted? I'm using naked drivers and everything works except this command. Adb root doesn't work also.
This has nothing to do with the drivers. The kernel you use has to be built with the ro.secure=0 flag for remount to work

Since the last windows update from this week windows cant detect my nexus 5. I tried everything. It keeps showing up like "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)" And i doesn't show up immediately when i plug in the phone. It takes like 10 seconds, then it shows that with a yellow triangle.
Hope that someone can help me. There is also a thread on Reddit (/r/Nexus5) about this.

It would help to know what "everything" you have tried.

uninstall every driver related to android. Uninstall every usb driver. Reinstall everything. Try every sort of install. Install via toolkit. Nothing worked.
I tried other cables, doesnt work. Other computer. On other computers it does work (which arent updated to the latest windows). But the problem isnt something in the hardware because it really started after the update.
none ??
In Device Manager, click on the yellow triangle and then uninstall the driver. Once done unplug the phone and then plug it back in again... Windows should then install the correct driver.
Here's something else to try...

If either of those doesn't work you could try a System Restore to a date before the update. Then when Windows update pops up again have a look at what it wants to install to see if you can figure out what caused the problem, then right click and select Hide Update.

Thanks for your quick answer. Didnt help. It still shows up at device manager as "Unknown USB Device (Device Descripter Request Failed)"
If i try to update driver software via device manager it tells me it failed to update with Code 10.
Tried phone on my old laptop with windows 7 and it immediately connected as Nexus 5.

Thanks for your quick answer, doesnt work though. When i choose the extracted Universal Naked Driver it tells me that it already has installed the latest drivers for this device.

Follow these steps:
1. Connect your phone to your pc and head over to control panel---device manager and select your phone from there.
2. Right click on it and select update driver software.
3. Now select "Browse my computer for driver software"
4. Put this path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver" (C:\Program Files (x86) may differ on your pc depending on where you have installed the SDK)
5. Put a tick on "Include subfolders" and click next.
6. The drivers will be installed again and everything should work now.

That, and the fact it works on your old laptop tells me it's most likely a problem with the USB ports or controller on your PC. Do you have your motherboard disk? If so try reinstalling the drivers. Check USB settings in BIOS too.
