When I try to connect with USB cable my phone doesn't pop up. I have all the latest drivers installed and when I go into adb devices my phones serial number or whatever it is and then says device. I am just trying to add another rom to my phones internal memory. Any suggestions would be great
.
When i try to download the drivers from lg's website it brings me to a dead link (aparantly i cant post links yet) but i just get webpage cant be found... When i first plugged my g2 into my win 8.1 pc it started installing a bunch of drivers and a let them all install but when i try to run ioroot i get stuck waiting for device to be found - my lg g2 is not on my device manager and i dont really dont get it. Im following all the steps - developer, usb debugging, ethernet connection, WTF!!
SOLVED!
Hello All.. I have searching for hours not making much progress. Last night my LG G2 ran out of battery and I plugged it into the car charger and it soft bricked. I've been pretty busy lately so I'm on an old ROM Optimus DE 2.2. I don't have the ROM saved and I've been trying to ADB sideload the ROM back onto my phone but in the command prompt it says device not found. I tried installing some generic drivers and that didn't work. I tried the LGUnitedMobileDriver and that isn't working either.
I'm not sure what to do next. I have ADB on my computer and ADB sideload on my TWRP recovery, so I would like to push the ROM on my phone so I can flash it without having to wipe my phone. What drivers do I need; right now my phone shows up under other devices in device manager. Or am I sideloading wrong? Any help please lol..
I was caught off guard because of the random soft brick. If I would have been working on my phone I would have had the proper backups made. Thanks for any help, it is much needed I need my phone back ASAP!! Thanks again.
SOLVED
Finally figured it out. I had to updated my device (LG G2) with the ADB drivers not the LG drivers.
I went into Device Manager, right clicked my phone, clicked update driver software, clicked browse my computer, clicked let me pick from a list of drivers, then selected ADB drivers, then selected HTC Dream Composite ADB Interface. I believe the drivers I last installed were Snoop05's adb-setup-1.4.2.
Then I did a backup in TWRP, then I sideloaded the ROM. Next I had to wipe everything but internal memory and the use Nandroid Manager to restore my data from the backup... Took my whole day but at least I have a phone again.
The car charger soft bricked it ?
So you have TWRP, the drivers you can get from the LG site too. Just search for your model and go to software update section. This is for D802, i dont know if the drivers are the same: http://www.lg.com/uk/support-mobile/lg-D802
Hmm..i dont know how to use the sideload..
Another way can be with USB flash drive and OTG cable, i used my usb flash drive with OTG cable to flash ROMs from TWRP
Last option is lg flash tool and then reroot
Thanks for your help guys.. I appreciate it! Looks like I just needed to update my phone with the ADB drivers in Windows 8 Device Manager. I'm back up and running.
But yea so weird.. I haven't flashed anything on this phone in months so I guess something was corrupted when it died. I think it was trying to boot with too low of a charge and the battery died mid boot which corrupted something.
Although you've solved it let me recommend you another way.
Use : "adb push romname.zip /sdcard/romname.zip"
instead of "adb sideload romname.zip"
I'm running Vanir 5.0.2 right now and im trying to go back to stock so i want to take everything out of the internal memory through adb since MTP doesn't work at all. I can't use adb through download mode (i can enter download mode though) nor through TWRP. I've installed the drivers on my pc and my pc recognizes the phone but not in a way that it should. I'm thinking that something is wrong within my phone because when i connect my other lg phone my pc recognizes it as an ADB device.. Any help is greatly appreciated.
One thing to note is that ADB over network is working but it won't pull all files from internal.
I managed to get ADB working by going to stock based rom. CloudyG2 to be exact.
Hey im having problem flashing my D801 back to stock my pc cant recognize my device whenever i get to download mode i remember flashing it a wrong firmware (D802) so it got stuck on lg logo

Or use a previous version of windows

Power the phone off completely(hold the power button for arround 30 seconds),and then connect it to the PC.
But,before you do that,make sure you have the LG USB drivers for the G2,and adb fastboot drivers installed.
Then,take a screenshot of the Device Manager(you can use "Snipping Tool").
The problem is in the device not the pc because i've already flashed another g2 using that pc normaly

Well,I am telling you to connect the powered off phone,and let the lg logo appear,and tell me what your Device Manager shows.

Unknown device because you probably do not have the drivers installed.
Just because you flashed things to your phone over the download mode,doesn´t mean you have the adb/fastboot drivers too.
I suggest,if possible,you get the LG USB drivers for the g2 and the universal adb/fastboot drivers,and install them to another PC with Windows,and then connect the powered-off phone NORMALLY,not in download mode,let the pc install drivers,and then tell me what the Device Manager says.

I'm having similar problem. No download mode. When I connect my lg g2 to my PC (windows 10) I see nothing in Device Manager. If I plug in my lg g3 (working fine) I get "portable mtp device".

Oh darn... I guess this is above me.
I wonder how a wave of that kind of a problem started occurring during these 3 weeks.
There is a " Back to Stock" thread,both of you could ask for help there. I asked for help there too,during all 4 times I bricked my phone. .______.
