I used Wug's toolkit, had to try a few times until I finally got it right:
Follow the steps in the toolkit to uninstall any adb drivers and remove any instances of the device from the device manager
connect the phone in mtp mode and ptp mode after that, both times with usb debugging OFF, let windows figure those drivers out so you can transfers files without any trouble
disconnect the phone and install the universal drivers (option 1 in the toolkit)
turn off both mtp and ptp, then connect the phone with usb debugging ON. This is what might be causing trouble, if you turn usb debugging on along with mtp, windows thinks it's yet another device, for a total of 5 possibilities (mtp only, ptp only, debugging only, mtp+debugging and ptp+debugging)
follow the instructions in the toolkit to select the proper driver for the nexus 4 with only usb debugging on (I set mine to "google nexus 4 adb interface"). Test the drivers and repeat this step for fastboot in case the proper driver isn't selected already (google nexus 4 bootloader interface)
After doing this I didn't have any trouble using adb or transferring files. The one thing I recommend is to always keep only one mode on at a time while connecting to the pc, either mtp/ptp or USB debugging
I don't know if anyone has a better/more streamlined solution, but this one has worked for me, so I don't intend to mess with it

So I got another Nexus 4 for my sister. My computer didn't have a Nexus 4 toolkit, so I thought I didn't install any drivers on my comp, so I downloaded Nexus 4 Toolkit and installed the drivers. I connect her phone to my comp. It installs the adb driver and says device is ready. I go to My Computers and I don't see it there. I uncheck MTP. Computer proceeds to try and install and random driver and said it failed. I check PTP. Computer successfully installed driver and ADB works. ADB doesn't work for MTP.
So I uninstalled all the drivers thru device manager and through Wug's toolkit. I rebooted my computer. I reinstalled all the drivers. I connect my sister's phone. Same issue. I connect my phone. Same issue.
I go install the drivers again on another computer in my house that guarantee has no drivers before. Same problem arises. I tried my phone too, and it doesn't work. I am not running stock. I am running SpeedX ROM.
Help please?
[THE FIX]
1. Download Wug's toolkit
2. Use his Full Driver Installation guide to uninstall all drivers.
3. Install PdaNet Drivers, following the instructions given (Pick LG instead of "others")
4. After installation, turn off usb debugging, and open device managers.
5. Connect phone, making sure it's in MTP mode.
6. Observe in device managers that something popped up (Should be something something subbranch Nexus 4 with a yellow triangle)
7. Right click> Update driver
8. Browse my computer for driver software
9. Let me pick from device on computer
10. Pick the MTP USB Device
11. Let it install.
12 Done!
I've tried about everything, in terms of uninstalling drivers, rebooting the computer, trying X and Y driver to no avail. I used the root toolkit to uninstall my previous SII drivers in case that was the problem, but still cant see it.
'
when running the root toolkit full driver configuration, I keep getting the message
turn USB debugging on (it's on)
use the recommended cable (using the stock cable)
use usb 2.0 ports (doing that)
uncheck MTP in usb debugging (dont have that option
What else can I try? I did not have this much trouble rooting my SII a year ago.
Thanks
Dustin
try not using a root toolkit
Can your computer see the phone in MTP or PTP mode?
Uninstall the driver for your Nexus while connected as USB Debugging and reinstall it with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426502
If you are using Windows 8, disable driver signature first.
why dont you root via fast boot?

After trying to Sideload the 4.4 Update onto my Wifi Nexus 7 (2012) I'm unable to connect to my Computer in MTP Mode & can only connect in PTP Mode which is far more limited than MTP Mode. I did a Factory Reset & updated to 4.4 OTA, but I'm now still unable to connect in MTP Mode, when I use MTP Mode I get a Google Nexus 7 ADB Interface in Device Manager with Manufacturer ID of ClockworkMod has anyone got any clues how to get MTP Mode working?
P.S. I'm unrooted and have no idea how the ClockworkMod ADB Driver got installed and haven't got a clue how to permanently remove it.

Look in your PC's Control Panel - do you see Portable Devices (it's most likely missing or not showing up)
Folks over at Nexus 5 (I owned both devices) are running into similar problems - long story short, it's corrupted and/or missing usb devices drivers. Simplistic solution, use the computer (assuming you are running Windows 7 or Vista and not Linux) SYSTEM RESTORE feature & roll back to last few days, it should be a successful effort & then reboot. Reconnect your device, let it sit & recognize the device, install drivers, etc. - do this with USB debugging OFF first, and when it is done - enable USB debugging, let it finish.
Now, reboot PC again to be sure, and connect. usb cable again - give it 3 to 5 seconds, your Auto Play should be popping up with prompt to open folders/files, etc.
Check your CP again, you should now see Portable Devices part of the hardware, and Google Nexus 4 (yes, that's what is on mine)
Let me know if this solution works for you - the alternative is to uninstall all usb drivers, reboot, install, etc. etc. Please post your results if you choose to follow this dummy's approach, thanks.

Hey guys, my nexus 7 is rooted operating AOSP/AOKP on 4.2.2 just to give some brief information (it's not fresh in my mind and I plan to clean install a new rom and kernal).
So first I'm not getting my nexus to display in my computer (win 7 x64) as MTP with usb debugging enabled nor disabled. PTP camera mod works and displays. I've already googled around so I know a few basic solutions to this issue none of which have worked thus far.
Following Nexus Root Toolkit driver instructions.
After wiping the drivers a windows restart and disabling debug mode, connecting via usb only installs the "Android ADB Interface" driver only (step 2 link above). After switching from MTP to PTP Nexus 7 driver is installed only (step 3). I then re-enable MTP where no new driver is installed untill usb debugging is turned back on and Android Composite ADB Interface driver is installed (step 4 + 5). This is where I'm stuck... At one point while playing about I managed to get MTP in the taskbar driver installer only to fail "No driver found" or something along those lines.
Please can someone assist me I need this tablet wiped and operation ASAP.
Thanks anymore information required just ask.
Bought new N6p 64gb
Updated it to latest version by OTA.
Now, i'm trying to connect it to PC (win7 ultimate) and it's not recognized.
Have also Nexus 5 that working great with MTP but the Nexus 6p won't no matter what I tried.
Enabled debugging, tried to install latest Google drivers... Everything.
Still, can't see it in Windows to unlock and root.
Spend two hours to figure out what is wrong. Windows says the mtp is installing but after few seconds gives me an error that it didn't install.
Help me please.

Did you select usb for mtp from the notification?
It's Android's issue!
Enable Developer Options!
& when plug OTG to phone, go to menu "Select USB Configuration" & 1st select Charging & Again select MTP mode!
You really won't believe it. After being frustrated with the N6p and opening this thread, I plugged the phone to pc with usb cable, shut it down and then booted into bootloader. PC recognized the phone as adb. After that I just powered on the phone normally (into the Android os) and waolla, PC recognized it right. Checked twice and both (N5 and N6p) working as supposed to be.
