Has anyone had luck finding drivers that will work with Windows 8? I took a chance on the Windows drivers from the LG site but get the new fangled Windows 8 smiley face BSOD. I'm not trying to root or anything (yet). Does anyone know if the Universal Naked Drivers will work with the Optimus G?
I have windows 8, and I installed the drivers on the root tutorial I created and it worked fine. Maybe you need to run as administrator the install.

Oh ok. After reading about rooting our phone, Im confused about the whole "kies" thing. There is a stock "kies" app that came installed with my phone. So does that mean I have to go through that whole driver issue? Can someone explain this process a little further if so?
Your probably thinking of Samsung Kies for the computer. Windows version does not matter.
You do not need Kies if your going to root just download and install the ones they tell you in the post your reading.

so ive attempted to install the drivers didnt work
have sysnc installed but when phone is plugged it htc sync says device not connected

i spent the last 2 hrs trying to unlock the evo 4g
Are you on 32 or 64 bit? This os windows 7 correct? I have many drivers and am willing to help you out. It might take a few tricks to make them work correctly bit I know most of them.

BTW,after installing HTC Sync, you'd have wanted to uninstall it, so the drivers would still be installed, but not the software

I've used the original USB cord and it worked just fine.
In case it wasn't clear, I don't believe anyone has found/disclosed a method to root the 10p version. So, you basically need to revert to one of the previous releases (all of which are rootable) using the LG tools.
Any working microUSB cable should work.

Try windows 7.
is there a way to emulate windows 7 and windows 8.1
Hey folks,
Replied to a post on the One S board about this, but wanted to reach out in this forum for any solutions/updates....
I've read tons of threads about incompatibility with 8.1 and the htc driver. I've tried the intel driver method with no luck. All i succeed in doing is killing all of the usb ports on my machine as soon as I apply the modified driver. Had to get a ps/2 board out and roll back the drivers.
Is there any other work around for this? I just got this phone and was planning to go S-Off, but cant get around this driver issue. I've seen varying opinions about if its an HTC driver issue or a windows driver issue. Not really smart enough to know.
Greatly appreciate any help or guidance.

Its a chipset driver issue combined with the version of hboot on the phone. I was able to get mine working via updated etron drivers before the new hboot on phone. Once you get updated to 4.3 the hboot should fix the issue. What Rom version are u on?

I haven't flashed anything to the phone yet. As I received it. S-ON Locked. Has Android 4.3, OS 2.10.605.1 w/ hboot 1.55.
Which chipset did you use the etron drivers on? I'm running Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD3H. Notice GB has a hotfix bundle from may '13 with 3 KB's to improve usb 3.0 compatibility. About to install those and see whats up.
Forgive me for any ignorance, this is my first rodeo with the ONE. Thanks for the reply.
EDIT: Those KB's were for win 8, not 8.1. Says incompatible.
I've got a gigabyte ga-990fxa-ud3. I used the asrock etron USB drivers. With those installed it will only work on USB 3.0. Here is a link
http://www.mediafire.com/download/wd9gy4yny0cx9g2/EtronUSB3(v0.118)Windows8.1.zip
The new ones from gigabyte are buggy for me and made my etron controller unrecognized. I wouldn't recommend using them.

Maybe check out main chipset manufacturer site or other boards with same chipset. On asrock it actually said for 8.1 which is why I grabbed it and it worked.

Strike 4. Seeing no 8.1 drivers for my controller.
The other thing you could do is to use a live CD to root your phone. Ubuntu 32 bit live CD works.

You've been most helpful. I must admit, I'm linux impaired, so I'm rebuilding an old system with windows 7 now. I know, I know. Its a punt.
Thanks again.

I don't believe so but you can install virtualbox and run Windows

LG pc suite exist for Mac users. But I downloaded it manually because download from official servers take ages.

Thanks for the reply! I will search what is this virtual box and go from there.

Same like parallel for Mac. It makes you virtual machine inside of Mac OS X, where you install Windows OS. Maybe better try with Windows on bootcamp, it is separate OS for it self and on turning on your Mac you can chose what OS you will run. I have like that on my MacBook.
