Its either showing offline or unauthorized ive got sdk and java downloaded

On my Verizon model, when you plug in your usb cable, it will ask you how you want to connect (media sync, etc). You have to choose "Internet Connection" and the Ethernet, then adb will find it. The first time you connect with adb, you also have to accept an RSA certificate on your phone. Hope that helps

If it's showing offline and you have the correct pc connection selected, try disabling usb debugging then re-enabling it. Type adb devices in a command prompt and the RSA security should popup on the phone. That's what I had to do.

How do you get that RSA popup? or is there a way to add another? I haven't seen this at all.

I had this happen and it was I had the wrong lg drivers loaded. I googled Verizon LG G2 drivers and uninstalled the old ones and installed the new ones. That fixed the problem. Sorry I don't have the link handy.

I have a D802 and mine showed the same thing even when I have it set to media link but I went ahead with the root process with no issues and now have root. Before I switched it to media link it would just say disable in the comand prompt.

It's probably an sdk issue. Make sure you have sdk 16 and 17 fully downloaded. It's a security issue built in to 4.2 and I had this issue.

Hello, I have the same issue.
I rooted the phone and unlocked the bootlader, it had cwm 6.0.4.5 installed. the phone took an owa update. the symptoms are as follows:
the phone only boots to the cwm recovery.
I can not get into download mode trying the up or down volume. My pc refuses to install the driver for the d800 even though i can see it as a device in device manager. I have installed lLGMlauncher as well as the LGUnitedMobileDriver.
Thank you for any ideas you may have

Have you gone to device manager, update drivers on your device, let me choose and then pick the ( I cant remember the exact name but it has to do with media, maybe mtp driver. It will then mount you phone
download a Rom along with gaps and flash
This is the basics, as I am away from my PC right now, there are many guides in the general area, I believe.
Sorry I cant be of more help at the moment
easiest would be to go to the dev section and download one of the many kits to get you back on track though.

Sorry. Was traveling and in cebu now. When I get my internet running I will try to check the driver. I still can not get into downliad mode on the phone however. I think it isn't PC dependant

[Q] ADB Sideload Driver problem

First time poster, long time user of XDA...I tend to lurk.
Anyway, I just rooted, TWRP'd, and downloaded the newest PA for my LG G2 (ATT) but when I went to wipe, I accidentally clicked internal storage. So I'm stuck in TWRP right now. I decide to try my hand at side-loading, but I get the error message of: error: device not found. I checked device manager and the G2 is listed as an "Other Device" with an exclamation point on it. I go to load the driver... Can't find one.
Does anyone have any idea what driver I can use so the system will recognize my G2? I'd rather not go back to stock just to re-root/recovery/install. I have all the current drivers from LG, but as this is the G2 in recovery mode, I don't know how to get it recognized.
Thank you, in advance, for any help!

If you're using windows 8 then you'll have to disable driver signing to install the adb driver. Google it.

Google universal adb driver (i think by koush). I had the same issue. I am on Windows 8 and didn't have to disable anything.

or if the universal adb drivers probably wont work you can try downloading the lg united mobile driver

Thanks for the responses everyone!
I actually faked the device by using PDA net. It installed a generic lg driver for my G2, then adb was able to recognize the device and side load after that.
Hope this helps someone in the future.

Thanks, it took me forever of searching on XDA to find this. Works great after faking the ADB drivers for recovery. I used some other ADB driver, from Google inc, I believe. Great work.

plz im in the same position i stucked in philz recovery what can i do step by step and in device manager i got my device with yellow mark on it

make sure disable driver signing then install http://pdanet.co/bin/PdaNetA4180.exe and while install select LG, finished.

friend accepted sprints new OTA. Phone wont boot past TWRP

So, I rooted my coworkers Sprint G2 or LG LS980 using IoRoot a month ago and had TWRP installed on it. prior to doing this I had looked into what it would take to revert it to factory unrooted unmolested state. didnt seem to hard with the lgFlash tool and what not....
Well two days ago he accepted and tried to install the new OTA. he was on ZVA firmware, and I believe the new OTA was for 4.4... well the install of the OTA failed im pretty sure do to TWRP being installed instead of stock recovery. instead of stopping there and calling me he tried to fix it himself... I believe one of the things he did was to wipe the device. as in advanced wipe, select EVERYTING including system....
He gave it to me today rather pissed and asked me to fix it.
Ok, I have bee through MANY threads about reverting back to stock, and it seems I am having a serious driver issue... In my laptops device manager I can see the LS980, but it has no driver installed. I have downloaded many different versions of the LG drivers from various tutorials here and on other websites. I even tried to find them on LG.com, but no luck there.
I can get it into download mode, holding vol+ and plug in USB, but once I try to connect to it via LGMobile Support tool or LGFlash tool, they do not detect it. it tries to load three different modems, and the center one always fails. is there anyplace I can get JUST the driver, not the entire self extracting EXE files?
I was just going to copy a ROM onto the internal storage, but even using the mount tab in TWRP it will not connect to my computer.
PLease for the love of all that is sacred to XDA help me!!! I sadly do not know much about ADB... I have never really used it. at this time it is not installed and I wouldnt know what to install and how to ADB Push a rom onto the phone...
Edit, here is ONE of the tutorials I tried, but since I cannot get the proper drivers installed this hangs when I click the yellow arrow to start it....

okay so have you tried the following from this thread-
If you DONT have ADB access (because of an early build of TWRP), you can simply use TWRP's awesome "terminal command" option to run the following:
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
You'll have to type that whole thing out, and be VERY careful with spaces and punctuation. One wrong letter and you could nuke your phone.

Ok, I think its TWRP 6.1.3.3? Maybe 6.2.3.3... not sure. Phone isn't in front of me this second. As to the terminal command... do I type the word code first? Or is it just there as part of your sentance, type this terminal code..... yea, I'm a retard sometimes. Thanks for your help.

Yea, I have been trying that method... my issue now seems to be that one of the drivers is not installing correctly. So I cannot change the device to port 41. And the app will not see my phone. When I get off work tonight and can use my laptop again I will try downloading advanced and setting that up and see if I can make it work that way. I also read the other thread that was linked last night looking for the two terminal commands to try, both the fota, and the miscellaneous command... found the commands, typed them in, and now my phone boots to the LG logo and my notification light starts scrolling through different colors. I can still get to both recovery and download mode though, so I am not giving up.
Also in that thread someone mentioned koush's generic adb drivers... I downloaded those and will try that as well.
Basically if I can just get my darn laptop to connect to this phone I think I might still have a shot at reviving it.

Multi color led makes me think, wing kernel. Like installing zvc kernel over zva system modem.
You may have to uninstall all lg drivers, and reinstall
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Well it was running fine until he tapped accept on the ota so I dont know how he would have gotten the wrong kernel.... I have uninstalled the drivers a few times and reinstalled different versions. There is always one that fails when I plug in the phone. Plus I get a message on the device about mediadata unknown, or not found.... something like that. I know before he called me he tried the wipe option in twrp. I know on my galaxy s4 we were not to use the wipe data command in there, I'm thinking he did...
But I can still get to download mode so if I can get my laptop to recognise it I have faith I can lgflash tool it back to life... if I can get the drivers to cooperate...

Quick update on this... I found a tutorial on using adb and managed to sideload a rom, derp milestone 1 I believe it was, and after it completed the phone booted up just fine. My friend wanted it to be reverted back to its stock unrooted state, so I tried LG mobile something or other on my laptop... you all know, the one where you hit options then upgrade recovery and it should download and flash stick software? Well it saw the phone, and said there was no upgradeable software on it... mind you the phone still has a working twrp 2.6.3.3 on it... I don't know... I tried LG flash tool, but i can't get it to be port 41 for that to work... but at least the phone boots and runs fine now.
Still having my driver issue though. When I plug in the phone windows installs 3 drivers. One is CDC driver which always fails. No clue why.
Any ideas?

[Q] I'm an idiot and I throw myself upon your mercy

I was preparing an LG G2 for sale in in deleting all of my info off and restoring a backup, I managed to get distracted and wiped everything off my phone. Every. Thing. I have TWRP still installed, but when I try and boot into it, it immediately begins running OpenRecoveryScript and then boots into the LG splash screen and there it sits. I have tried going to ADB from there but I get a "device not found" message. I d/l the LG flash tool and tried re-flashing the .tot file but after it does the initial scan it just sits and unplgging and re-plugging does nothing. I d/l the LG Mobile Support tool, but I need the kdz file for AT&T and I can not locate it anywhere. Every Google search keeps pointing me back to the same page that has the tot file. A couple of questions:
1. Can I flash a T-Mo kdz file in order to get it back to a point where I can ADP into it or access the device another way, or will that REALLY hose things up?
2. Does anyone HAVE the AT&T kdz file?
3. Am I just screwed form the start?
Thanks!

with the tot file method did you change the port to 41?

Yes. It will recognize the phone and do all of the pre-checks. Once that is done, it just silts there. I have had that happen before, and usually unplgging the USB cable and then plugging it back in will get it going. Not this time.

CRISIS AVERTED!!! I knew I was close since I could get to TWRP (even though it didn't work correctly) and the PC was recognizing my phone. I finally loaded all of the root tools onto a different laptop and started from scratch using the LG Flash tool and VIOLA! I have my phone back.
MOD - You can close/delete if you wish. Thanks!
