Drivers on Windows 10 - LG V20 Questions & Answers

First, I'm not a newb, but I'm at my wits end so I'm swallowing my pride and posting this here.
I recently wiped my hard drive and reinstalled Windows 10. Prior to that Windows could see my v20, I could transfer files and ADB worked fine.
I installed command line tools to install ADB/drivers and tried both LG mobile 4.20 drivers and even tried the Intel drivers. Along the way I dusted off usbdeview to clear out the drivers and start over so likely further screwed things up.
I was able to eventually get ADB functional but no matter what I did the device wouldn't show up as a portable device under My PC.
I've finally said screw it and am currently reinstalling windows 10 from scratch for a fresh start.
So, looking for input as to the best way to proceed on fresh Windows install. Is best way to install adb/adb drivers by installing command line tools rather than full android studio? Does it matter what order I install LG drivers/ADB?
I'm running the notsostock 5.5 dirtysanta rooted on a verizon v20.
Thanks.

I haven't been able to get it to show as a portable device since flashing the NotSoStock rom. I'm on Windows 7, it was visible just fine prior to flashing and I haven't done anything to the computer in the meantime.
I've been assuming it was something goofy in the rom rather than windows drivers... It just hasn't been a big enough deal for me to monkey with, I don't often need that, and adb still works fine so I just push/pull stuff if I need to move anything...

I came to the same conclusion about 4 hours ago. It was the NotSoStock rom that broke it. I wiped my v20 and installed the WETA rom and everything works perfectly. The dialer lock issue I had with that rom is gone. The hotspot issue is gone, etc. I've only been on it for a few hours, but it's definitely better than what I was on before.

having trouble with usb drivers

so i am new to android and i decided " hey why don't i try to root my nexus" so i tried and i cant get any father that checking if the computer can see my device which it cant for some reason. so i went online i figured out that i don't have the usb driver for android. so after that i tried to down load then and i even installed them and restarted my computer and it still wont work. so if any one can help me with my problem it would be greatly appreciated.
On Home Screen, press menu>settings>applications>development and make sure USB debugging is checked.
What OS you running?
Specs would help, where did you get your drivers? What other software have you tried?
i turned on the debugging and it still hasnt worked
i am running xp. i downloaded the android sdk from here
developer.android.com
i just want to put the modaco desire rom on my phone that my onl reason for wanting to root. i really like the sense ui
I am having a similar problem, so i might as well use this thread instead of creating a new one.
I have a dual boot computer, win7 and fedora, both have SDK. I unlocked my nexus one with windows, as i noticed the commands were considerably easier, or at least they don't work when i plug the linux ones into fedora.
Last night i was going to push the undervolt kernel so i plugged my n1 while in win7, It instantly came up complaining about drivers, which i had already installed and had previously worked, i went to re-install them, and windows says they are up to date, but still no luck recognising the device (Debugging mode is definately on)
So i switched to fedora, no driver pop ups obviously, but when i try to push the kernel through, it does not recognise the device.
In the bootloader it says "fastboot usb" while plugged in.
I can't pinpoint when it stopped working, but the last time i used fastboot was to put the RA recovery, since then i flashed CM 5.0.2, CM 5.0.3.1, the desire rom, and used a nandroid restore to get back to 5.0.3.1
Anyone got any ideas? Without fastboot i am pretty much restricted to flashing .zip files from the recovery.
yeah i cant even unlock mine its so frustrating
Me either. I'm coming from windows and flashed the heck out of that. The instructions seem super easy, but the darn thing wont recognize phone to root... and there is no real good instructions on the driver part. Yes USB debug is enabled... sucks cause I want that desire rom, if 10.1 is working that is...

I tried all day too like a gazillion times.... and wonder does everyone have driver issues? I tried with my XP computer and windows 7, no go, then I read posts people having the same issue, then they just post " nevermind got it" and didn't even write what they did to get it.......

not everyone is a dev
Ok, I have my Nexus One set up so I can use with via Windows 7 (desktop) or Ubuntu (Laptop).
The Linux part is a bit more involved, but since everyone is running Windows (unless I missed something), I will work there.
First of all, your phone needs to be in Dev mode (which was covered earlier).
With the phone UNPLUGGED from the PC, uninstall any previous SDK installs you have and be sure to remove the directory.
Then, install the SDK found here: SDK
Install this SDK and let it complete the install, which will include downloading for a bit. You need to do this since the SDK package above does NOT include the right drivers!!!
Once this has been completed, plug your phone into the computer via USB. Your computer will find a new device, however, it cannot locate the drivers for it. Browse and point the installer to:
DRIVE:\PATH_TO_android-sdk-windows\usb_driver
Don't go any further than this!!
Now, let it do it's thing and you should have a new device in the device manager called:
Android Phone
...|_Android Composite ADB Interface
Now, go to the command prompt and change to the following directory:
DRIVE:\PATH_TO_android-sdk-windows\tools
There, you will find adb.exe
Type:
adb devices
and you should see:
List of devices attached
HT019P801614 device
If not, something got screwed up and would need to dig further to help ya.
Ok ill give this a try once get home from school
nexus one root.
Ok assuming that you have the android sdk installed correctly, try rooting your phone via the superboot method. The first link below has a full detailed guide for rooting the nexus one and I believe has all of the device drivers for those who have not been able to get them running well. If you still have trouble getting the drivers working checkout the second link. Anyone who is relatively new to working with the sdk and is not familiar with working the commands check out the third link. Read the entire thread! it is very helpful.

If you have any questions PM me on xda. I'll try and help in anyway, it took my like two days to actually root my nexus, I wasnt familiar with using ADB and Fastboot to root.
One thing I know I was having problems with since I came from the G1 was that the new SDK has to actually be installed via an .exe now. I was used to it all being in a zip so I kept trying to load up what I thought were the right USB drivers, but they were actually the 1.6 drivers I already had. So make sure to run the .exe that comes with the SDK.
ok so while i was downloading the sdk a notification came up that said that it could not rename the directory. is this bad?
i am having an issue with installing the right driver as well. my computer keeps installing the nexus one as a "mass storage device". i have uninstalled and reinstalled a few times but no luck. i have the phone set to debug mode, using XP btw. any help would be appreciated.

And The Annoyance Continues!

Jeez I love the vibrant but I'm so unbelievably annoyed. First I rooted my phone and flashed clockwork mod recovery in order to delete some bloatware, not that I needed the clockwork mod recovery right now but did it anyway. So after that my Vibrant lagged, my sync was broken and my market no longer worked, so I used Odin to get back to stock thanks to a good suggestion and now I am attempting to root again and I would prefer to root through ADB but hence here we go again more annoyances, for some reason Windows 7 does not recognize my device in debugging mode. I have installed the drivers and it says "drivers installed successfully and ready to use" yet when I go to device manager it says "no driver files installed" and does not recognize my device. My nexus one, Mytouch and G1 were SOOOO much easier to work with, never had a problem.
So can someone help me out? Why is windows 7 sucking the big one right now? I can obviously root by just putting the file in my root directory, booting in stock recovery and doing update.zip so that's really not the big deal, the big deal is, I WANT ADB, this is pissing me off. I can't do anything in ADB because my device is not listed / recognized

That's why I am doing all my development work on a linux box Try removing the driver and cleaning the registry (I am not sure if Win 7 has such a thing) and re-install the drivers. Put the the phone in USB debug mode and connect to the PC.
Certain you installed the right ones? Seems like it took a few times before I found the ones that worked and gave the adb connection in device manager. Been a while, but pretty sure i had to download Kies and unzip the .exe to find the drivers. The final .exe is called "SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe" (nice name..) and its version 1.3.750 and is about 18MB.
After that, worked like a charm

Meh, i blame samsung on this one. Once i finally got it installed, seemed to do ok..
but it is slowly coming back to me now..yes.
So, rename/unzip that SAMSUNG*.exe file to a directory. Probably will ask to overwrite some files (why they are in there twice..no clue). Run the setup.exe. Boom!
I'd uninstall them and re-install to verify..but, I kinda like having adb around and I already wasted a couple hours trying to get it to work that first time..
That worked! Thanks a million! You rock <333

Corrupted bootloader, memory?

I deleted a folder in /data that had some installed software in it. Once I deleted it, the N7 immediately began spitting FCs at me, Aldiko keystore, the WinnIME app, some .pngs, all FCs.
I rebooted and it hangs on the Google screen. I can get into the bootloader by holding volume down, but the menu usually navigated by volume buttons stays on Start and the power/enter button does nothing. No recovery, obviously.
Most depressing, fastboot and adb do NOT work. The closest analogs to this problem I have found through this search is people who accidentally erased their bootloader. It looks like mine may be corrupted, which could end up being no better.
I am out of town and away from my primary Android computer. The one I have with me is Windows, with an Ubuntu VM that has the SDK and confirmed working ADB and fastboot usually. No dice now, like I said.
When I plug in the tablet through USB, the Windows host attempts to install MTP drivers and fails. I would try and install the Windows SDK and try to get a connection through some of the Windows drivers, but the internet where I am cannot take it.
Any ideas? I am thinking the device is toast, but since I would be the first I have heard of to be able to get into the bootloader and still brick, I thought I would open it up to the community.
Details: I HAD CWM, no more. Stock, rooted only.
is there no nv flash for this device.. this is what you need. to boot into nv flash and flash the boot-loader.. .. I think this is the only way. There is another thread that talks about this.. Not sure if they managed it or not but they were very close i think..

Yeah. I used NVflash on the wife's transformer 101. I saw that thread, but i think the resolution was that they finally got close enough to find out they didn't know what they were talking about.
That sounds worse than I intended it. I mean that they simply weren't very experienced NVflash users and so they didn't know what they were missing until they worked at it. Seems a while away, if ever.
I have a second Nexus 7, i am wondering if i can do something with the hardware, maybe. Is all of the storage in one chip? I have the 16 gig, i seem to remember the 8 gig has n actual emmc.
I am going to try and stay away from devices with virtual sdcards from now on. This was just a folder in storage, WTF? I am not even sure how this is possible. Hardlink mayhem, presumably. The device had only ran stock.

yea there is only one storage device inside the nexus.. its all symlinked
If you could get the driver going, send a adb reboot-bootloader command, the bootloader should work then.
Will the next nexus have a longer screen?
Same problem here.

Hi, everyone!
I've got the same problem with my Motorola Razr D3 (XT920). After a system update, something bad happen while the system tried to install the last patch realeased by Motorola. I still can access the bootloader but nothing is working.
So I wonder if any of you guys have figured out how to reinstall the bootloader.

[Q][Answered] Have I screwed up? (Fastboot not seeing the Tablet)

Okay, I bought a Nexus 10 off someone, and they had already rooted the device. Bootloader is unlocked and whatnot. That's where my problems start. I can not for the life of me get fastboot or adb to see this thing.
Here's my info:
Google Nexus 10 (Samsung)
ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.4.3
Bootloader Version: MANTALJ12a
Windows 8.1 Pro x64
Full Android SDK
Samsung drivers installed (I rooted my Galaxy Nexus without issue).
USB has a direct connection
Before I decided to format and try to install a stock .zip, I could access the tablet as a media (That's how I got the .zip on the device).
Steps to how I got here:
Flashed Cyanogenmod 10.2 or whatever. Didn't want JB, wanted Lollipop.
Pushed the (what I thought was correct) .zip to /sdcard
Booted into recovery
Formatted /system, /cache, /data, /factory
Reflashed the .zip
Failed. Miserably.
I named the .zip as something simple and just overwrote it. I wouldn't have this issue if it wasn't for that. I know I did a bad there.
But still, nothing I can do will get fastboot/adb to see the device. It makes the sounds that it's connected when I plug it in. I'm using an elevated prompt as well, but it will not pull the device. How do I get myself out of this hole? If I could push a new .zip to somewhere on /sdcard I could at least use the recovery to reflash.

No, I was going to put it in the general help thread, may be better here since this may not be a simple question (Please prove me wrong).
Some additional things I've tried:
The NExus Root Toolkit. Removing all drivers etc. Still getting to fastboot by PWR+ VOL+ + VOL-.
Still nothing. Should I go to my wife's computer and try it there? I might do that anyways.

You don't have access to have os then? How did you push your zip if you don't have access to adb?
I have seen people who couldn't get adb and fastboot working on their windows and switching to another computer solved the issues.
Ok, make sure to make a full clean of your drivers. Wug toolkit explain how to. Then install proper samsung driver and this
If it is not a hardware's problem, you should have access to fastboot & adb. You might try on another computer if possible. A clean one would be the best (i.e. never used any droid devices, etc.).
Another workaround would be to use and otg cable and an usb drive with any zip of your liking.
Another one, I had an issue long time ago, similar, I had to flash through odin in downloading mode to fix my problems.
BUT did you really deleted /factory partition? It contains various proprietary files needed for the device to work. Well concerns more devices with imei and stuff to allow 3g connection and co. Might have no incidence tho on your device's behavior.

It's a Wifi tablet, no cellular data and IMEI etc.
edit: As a side note, I've been thinking about reformatting my computer, though it'll be a huge pain to get it back to here as I've got to go from 7 - 8.0 - 8.1 on the upgrade paths to get it back here again.

Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.32, yep latest.
I just feel like I'm missing something, maybe something stupid. HOWEVER, I'm now getting my nexus 10 to show up in device manager with a ? on it. Already tried the direct Samsung drivers, the universal drivers in the Wug toolkit.

Did you deleted all samsung vendor, etc from the usb program, you know what i am talking about?
You can force to install drivers from device maanger, don't remember how, when installing manually, you must do some step , install from floppy or file, get inf files or so, you will get a prompt telling you it might be harmfull and it will force installation. Might be the solution?
The culprit is definitely software-sided.
Does the mount internal storage (mtp) work?
Would this be easier in Linux? I could pop open my Ubuntu VM and do this if it'd be easier?
Beyond that, are you telling me to try and install the drivers from the driver files created by the Samsung vendor .exe?
I have tried to 'mount USB storage' from recovery, but it doesn't seem to do anything. /system /cache /data /factory are all mounted ATM and nothing is showing.
You've already got more advanced advice than I can offer but when I tried to update to 5.0.1 from 4.4.4, I couldn't get my windows computer to see my device. I was trying the adb fastboot but it I couldn't get it to work.
Wug's toolkit got it all straightened out (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2015467)[*]. There was an option on his interface that asked whether the device was working properly or not (a!most missed it as a choice). Checked that box and it went through much of the process I had done (installing adb, updating drivers etc). Long story short, it worked.
Where did you see this option? The only thing I see is the Soft Brick/Bootloop option where it will install the factory again. Was it that or somewhere else?
I swear to the Android droid that I tried that before. That seems to be doing what needs to be done, holy crap thanks!
e: I would like to know, however, why fastboot/adp wouldn't work but this would without doing any of the other stuff?

You're right. I confused the heading but choosing that option got my computer and my Nexus "talking." After installing the factory image I think you can then push a cusom ROM to you Nexus (http://forums.androidcentral.com/go...acks/264619-wugs-nexus-toolkit-questions.html).

Problem solved ? I always had less issues with fastboot and adb on Linux you can install a ppa that install for you adb and fastboot
Hovewer if you are using 2.8.2.0 you will need 1.0.32 and the ppa includes 1.0.31 so only adb sideload fails.

Wiped Phone, OS is gone and phone is unrecognized

Hello everyone,
I have wiped everything using the TWR recovery boot option in a really poor attempt to unroot my phone since it was behaving strangely.
Now it look like my OS is gone and the phone cannot be recognized anymore by my PCs even if I install the appropriate drivers manually.
Since it is no longer possible for me to attempt to flash the phone with a stock firmware using odin, I have attempted transfering the file on the phone using the sd card and installing it through the TWR recovery menu however it does not seem to be a possible option.
Does anyone have any advice to propose to restore the phone with a working OS?
It should still be able to load a recovery file from TWR, I am just unsure where I could get these since they differ from ROMs available everywhere else, I can also make change directly to the device drive using the file explorer so worst case scenario, I suppose it could be possible to copy past all the content of an image over there via the sd card.
Thanks
what happens when you put it into download mode and connect it to a computer? can you even get to odin mode? there is a way to ADB an OS onto it , but its pretty particular and usually not necessary.

The download mode seems functionnal on the phone, however the phone is not recognized by any PC which render it useless. My guess is that some files or driver on the phone side got deleted and it is no longer sending the right information to the machines it connects to.
Loading ADB into the OS seems like a neat idea, I didnt know it was possible. I am just unsure if flashing from within the phone is functionnal, my guess is that it probably work, but it is perhaps just a little riskier than doing it from an external device.
Thanks, I will try that, if you have any further advice, let me know
Edit : Oh I just realized you said to ADB an OS into it, yeah I don't thinks its possible, since nothing recognize the phone.
Have you uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers on your computer? Tried a few different computers? And, more likely to be successful, a few different cables?

Yes, it also worked perfectly fine a minute before everything get wiped. I am pretty confident the only way to get it back working would be to copy the files into the phone manually, I am just unsure what files I should copy to the root since I have never seen how it usually look.
That's weird because I don't know of a way to wipe stuff in such a way to remove the capability of Odin connecting to a computer

Hmmm I went on cyaogenMod and installed it on my device using the sdcard. Unsure why the stock OS wouldn't work, but at least now the phone is functional.
The phone is still not recognized but it seems like it is slightly better, it now displays as Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed). Which is better than getting disconnected right away from the computer. Now it probably just is a matter of fixing the drivers or the phone further since I have messed around a lot since everything stopped working.
Alright thanks a lot, it didnt occur to me that I probably could install other roms. Im still unsure whether or not I should stick with it but thats the least of my worries right now

have you tried a different version of odin? or at least a new download of it? does your computer recognize it when its booted up?
