Nexus Drivers - bibanon/android-development-codex GitHub Wiki
If your devices aren't detected by ADB, install these drivers. For Windows and Linux.
-
Plug your device into your computer with the USB cable. Wait for the drivers to install.
-
If you do NOT see a Developer Options menu in Settings, then go to Settings --> About Phone, scroll down to the bottom, and tap on the Build Number section 7 times. A pop-up should show telling you that you are "now a developer." Yay!
-
Enable USB debugging in Settings --> Developer Options.
- Wait for the second set of drivers to install and you're ready to move to Part 1
Download the LG Nexus 4 USB Driver and follow the instructions in the above guide.
OR
Download the drivers by installing the desktop client for [PDANet for Android] (http://junefabrics.com/android/). Once the program is installed, you should select "LG" for the driver installation section.
{{Note|You can remove the program after the drivers are installed.}}
