Windows doesn't recognize nexus 5 no matter what - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I am trying to flash some baseband for my nexus 5 following some tutorial.
Before win8 recgnize N5 as an MTP device. However it can't be listed in "device manager" in win 8.
I tried to disable it recognized as USB MTP now Win8 doesn't recognize Nexus 5 anymore at all.
I have already installed "Android SDK tool platform" with google usb driver from it.
I have installed "LG United Mobile Driver".
Tried to update driver with those folders installed.
But Windows 8 says it can't find any driver for nexus 5.

Make sure you're using a USB2 port, not USB3.

[Q] USB MTP mode not working in Bootcamp

Hi,
Has anyone tried connecting the Nexus 5 to a macbook air in bootcamp? I have MTP mode enabled but cant seem to get the phone to show up as a storage device in Computer. I was however able to connect the phone via MTP to a HP laptop no problem. Anyone have any idea what might be going on?
Thanks.
I also have this problem. MTP is selected and my computer doesn't see it as a storage device.

I had this problem with both my Nexus 7 (2013) and the Nexus 5 in Windows 8 and it came back when I updated to 8.1 (on a Windows PC, not even through Bootcamp). The following fixed the problem each time:
1) Go to Device Manager (press WIN+R, probably CMD+R in Bootcamp, type devmgmt.msc and hit ENTER).
2) Find the phone under something like Android Devices.
3) Right-click and select Update Driver Software.
4) Select Browse my computer for driver software
5) Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
6) Select USB Composite Device
Apologies if the text isn't exact, I'm actually on a Mac right now and don't have Bootcamp... and the PC I remoted into doesn't have an Android device plugged into it. But after doing all of that, Windows instantly recognized it and both MTP and USB debugging / ADB worked fine.
Hmm, so my phone is showing us as "MTP USB Device" under "Portable Devices" in device manager. And the " Update Driver Software" option is not available when I right click it.

I had the same problem!
None of the drivers works for me and the "Update driver" option is not available when my phone is plugged in.
Are you using a USB 3.0 port?
For some reason my phone works when I connect it through a USB 2.0 hub, but not when I connect it directly to the USB 3 port on my laptop.
Weird.
This solution worked for me. Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2512549 and see post #5. Be sure to thank n7of9 for the link and WugFresh for his toolkit solution. Enjoy.

I used the Nexus Root ToolKit to install the Google Nexus ADB Interface driver. You must likely find either by googling them or find them on this site.
I am running win8.1 x64 and installed the driver from SDK. The above methods should also work for fastboot, but the device will not be seen if it is in stock recovery. The driver will have to be manually configured. I did not bother with the custom driver and installed TWRP from fastboot. I received the 4.4.2 OTH update and TWRP flashed automatically.
You have to disable driver signature enforcement. Google it for tutorials.

You have to choose the "Let me pick my driver" option and look in the Android folder. I'm assuming that you have already installed the SDK kit.

I have MTP and USB tethering working on my dell xp PC
To get tethering working you need USB debugging enabled and then select USB tethering... Obviously you'll need the proper drivers setup and installed.
When I select USB tethering and then check in Device Manager it shows my N5 connected under "Network Adapters" as "Windows Mobile-based internet sharing device" I right click on it and select Properties and then select the Drivers Tab and then select Driver Details it shows 2 driver details listed -
1. C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\rndismpx.sys - which is Remote NDIS miniport
2. C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\usb802x.sys - which is Remote NDIS USB driver
Your gonna want to take a look a my post about MTP and try and get that setup also... Here's my post from another thread -
Well I can tell you what transpired... I was having MTP and fastboot driver issues when I was trying to unlock the Bootloader and root my lenovo a2109 tablet. I finally got the fastboot driver installed but I was still having MTP driver issues. I did a lot of research on MTP and tried a lot of solutions. Something's that I did was update windows media player to 10 or higher, I installed mtppk12 = MTP porting kit, Microsoft user mode drivers, installed Android SDK, Java and .net framework 4.0 I also have the latest version of Microsoft ActiveSync installed as this added additional USB drivers for my PC to communicate with my windows phone.
I have all kinds of drivers installed on my PC. I have my N5, 2 other lg phones, 2 Samsung's, 2 Tablets, a Huawei, all are android devices and a HTC windows phone. MTP mode works on all of them except the HTC windows phone obviously, but USB debugging has to be disabled and I don't have to reboot my phones to get them to connect.
When I connect my N5 to my PC with only MTP selected and check in device manager it shows up under "Portable devices" as "Nexus 5" when I right click on it and select properties, then click on the drivers tab and select, driver details it shows 2 driver details -
1. "C:\windows\system32\drivers\wpdusb.sys" which is WPD USB driver
2. "C:\windows\system32\drivers\wudfrd.sys" which is Windows driver foundation - User mode drive framework reflector.
It shows the same driver details for all my android devices and lists them under portable devices in device manager by there names. eg. Nexus 5, LGMS 769, LGMS 770, A2109 and so on.
I also have MTP Enhanced.exe installed to the root of my C:\ Drive
Good luck

[Q] Nexus 5 USB driver issues

I started to have this issue since I have formatted my PC (I've got Windows 7 Professional).
If I connect the device without the debugging USB activated, the PC doesn't recognize it, such as the device doesn't exist. Neither the classic sound which the PC does when you connect something to the USBs ports. Nothing, without the debugging USB my PC doesn't recognize nothing, and the device only goes charging, the notify of the USB connected doesn't appear, it could be because the PC doesn't recognize the device.
But if I activate the USB debugging my PC recognizes something. The auto-installation from Windows Update for the drivers starts (it says "Nexus 5"), but it doesn't find any driver on Windows Update. So I've downloaded the original Google USB drivers. I've gone on Computer -> Device -> Right click on Nexus 5 -> Update of the drivers. So I selected the unzipped folder but Windows doesn't install the drivers. It says it's impossibile to find the driver for the device, but I've selected the correct folder!
I've also tried to download the drivers with SDK Manager, but even in this way Windows doesn't install the drivers.
I've also tried to download the "naked drivers" from XDA, but that was the same result.
So I don't know how to do. Why Windows doesn't recognize my device?
My Nexus 5 is still with the stock firmware.

I had this issue with my first N7 2013. I ended up RMAing it because of touchscreen issues, and the replacement never had the issue. From my experience, I can only deduce it's a problem with the hardware.

Windows 10 USB drivers for oneplus one

Ever since I installed the windows 10 upgrade on my desktop computer, it doesn't recognize the oneplus one anymore. It was working fine in windows 8, and now the device manager shows a USB composite device that is in yellow status failed to start. I have tried pointing the driver update to the google usb driver from the android sdk and that fails, insisting the proper driver is already loaded. Any ideas on this?
if I turn off android debugging on the phone in developers options, it cycles over and over that device is not recognized. I have the samsung drivers from previous posts in this thread installed.
Are you using MTP or PTP? I think I had to move to PTP to get it to work for both access to the storage and for ADB.
i dont have any problems if i connect my one plus to my pc with windows 10
Windows 10 is very buggy and im having problems with it on my laptop and when trying to use bootcamp it says my partition osnt formatted correctly.

What you mean is Bootcamp doesn't support Windows 10 yet. Give Apple 5 years and they may patch it.
Had no problems at all with Windows 10 on 4 machines.
Try to delete Drivers and clean all the install again
I made a clean install of Windows 10, installed the standard Google ADB drivers, then the Samsung ADB drivers, connected the phone to the PC, went to the device manager and replaced the "unknown ADB device" by "Samsung composite ADB device" driver. After doing that, it recognizes perfectly the phone either in MTP, ADB or Fastboot modes with no issues at all. I always did it this way in clean installs of Windows 7 and 8.1 and works exactly the same in Windows 10. Try it this way, it will work.
