Hi guys,
I'm trying to connect to LG PC Suite but it wont see the phone, i don't know whether it has any thing to do with the connection setting. Because when i connect the phone and start up PC Suite it asks me to connect via the SUB option ''LG Software''. But i don't have this option, i only have 'Charge Phone, MTP or PTP options.
I have repeatedly tried the 'Install PC Programs' option from the phone but still no luck.
Any Ideas?
Make sure you have the correct LG Drivers installed on your computer:

All drivers updated & Installed, PC Suite updated. Everything installed multiple times, different USB ports. Still no go. Any ideas?
Hi, i have problems with the pc suite on windows 8. I have installed the usb drivers and can access LG mobile support tool, and it recognices my phone, but the Pc suite wont. The Pc suite also "claims" that there is a updated Pc suite that i should install, but when i press the install button i get this message: Could not confirm update with updateserver". Am i retarded or what gives?
(reason for wanting to use the Pc suite is for loading pictures to my pc. I know there are other options, but just want to give it a try. Does anyone else got this problem?
I have reinstalled usb drivers, and reinstalled the PC suite but with no sucsess. Also when i connect the usb cable is is in (MPT) mode, and have tried the (PTP) mode as well.
Thanks for your imput :good:

Yeah it is anoying as hell! for me! I will try to delete the PC suite and USB drivers and try to install it all over again. Will post back if i can fix it.
Okay i got it fixed. I unistalled Lg Suite, LG mobile support tool and usb drivers. I then connected the phone to my pc via USB so that the drivers would install. After that i went to my computer and found an Icon for the LG (not a musicplayer or a harddrive, but a Mobile phone Icon) pressed it and followed the instructions. Looks like a got a newer verson of the LG suite than the one on their official webpage. File was bigger (229MB, and the old file was 206MB) After installing this everything worked.
ps Sorry for the language :silly:
Nice to see u managed to fix it. I'm gonna try that also. Gonna report back.
It still amazes me that LG have not added anything for Mac users. If you have a Mac product and an LG device, well forget it!
The version of PC suite from the website is fine, you just need to allow it to update itself, if you have done the old flashtool hacks in the past your hosts file is likely blocking the pc suite from running the update which is why you are having problems.
Lennyuk, my hosts file is good, I removed everything related to LG including all usb drivers, connected phone to pc let it install new drivers and voila, LG suite works. ? Seems like foxtrott2's solution works ?
I'm having a few pc suite problems....
1. on my macbook, i installed the pc suite for mac as well as the drivers...but it can't detect my g3 using either usb or wifi
2. on my pc, i've tried a couple of installers and i always get this nsis error...saying it's corrupt or incomplete....
anyone else encountered these problems and fixed them?
Hello. I was experiencing alot of shutdowns and reboots in my LG G3, so I decided to make a factory reset. I did the backup via LG PC Suite. Everything went fine. When i finished the factory reset I connected the phone via MTP and I can't find the phone. The weird about this is that the phone shows up on the "Computer" folder. I tried to unistall and reinstall the PC Suite, and tried to install the drivers by hand. Nothing is working and I can't find a solution. I just need to extract the ECBK file, because now I got no contacts and I can't find a app that open this file. Thanks for ur time
I attempted a downgrade to an older version of twrp via twrp in recovery mode. Not sure what I did wrong. Now my LineageOS hangs at the LG logo at startup. When I try to access TWRP using recovery mode, the LG logo flashes on and off (loops). I cannot access the LineageOS to enable debugging, OEM unlock, MTP USB mode, etc...
From a Windows XP SP3 desktop:
I can manually put my D851 into Download mode and can get from Download mode to firmware update mode when connected to a Windows XP computer. The Windows XP computer sees the phone as new hardware ("LGE Android Net MTP") device when connected in Firmware Update mode. In Firmware Update mode, I cannot properly access the phone using the LG PC Suite, ADB/fastboot tools, etc...
I have tried installing various versions of the LG United USB drivers. Originally, the driver installs failed citing "Windows MTP driver" not found and advising me to install Windows Media Format Update. After learning Windows Media player contained the Windows MTP driver, I installed Win Media Player 11. Now the LG United driver install fails but without mentioning missing Windows MTP driver or Windows Media Format 11 runtime updates. I have tried installing the USB drivers using LG PC Suite but it too fails when reinstalling the driver. LG PC Suite cannot connect to my phone. . Ihave tried to install the LGMobile Support Tool (ie. LGMobile Phone Software Update Tool), but the install seems to hang.
I feel that if I could just get a computer to communicate properly with the phone while in Firmware Update mode, I should be able to restore my phone. Does anyone have any ideas on other things I might try?
Thank you
I got stuck in that same boot loop as you. There's a thread that claims that the D851 is unbrickable: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g3/help/lg-g3-d851-unbrick-qualcomm-9008-t3430221 But I was also unable to get it to work on my laptop. I think some computers may have a hard time using the drivers correctly and maybe trying another computer is your best bet.
But personally, I ended up sending mine to a J-Tag service on eBay and paying some $30 to get the thing completely reset.
