I'm having some trouble and I think it might be related to drivers. I'm on Mac OSX 10.8.5 so I downloaded the LGUnitedMobile_Mac_Driver_Ver_4.22 from here:
http://www.andromods.com/download-files/latest-lg-g4-drivers-usb-adb-win-mac.html
I installed, restarted computer. When I plug in the G4 via USB I don't get the popup requesting ADB access. (I've got USB debugging on in Developer Options and it shows as on in Developer Options as well as a notification in the pulldown menu). If I tap on the notification from the pulldown for MTP options I'm asked if I want to install the drivers. So, I do that too and wait for it to complete. Still no ADB popup. If I open the Debloater tool, no welcome popup and the "device connected" light is red.
I tried toggling between MTP and PTP and still nothing. Tried unauthorizing my computer in Developer Options, unplugging, and waiting. Tried restarting phone.
Further, if I open Android File Transfer I get a message "No Android device found" whereas before trying to install the driver it found the G4 just fine. Ran the uninstall script from the LG driver software and Android File Transfer then CAN see the phone.
Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated - I'm trying to run the Debloater tool (which can't see the G4 either no matter what I try).

You won't get the adb popup until you run an adb command in terminal. for example adb devices command is what triggered my popup.

Thanks for the response. Tried that (typed adb devices in Terminal) and got this: -bash: adb: command not found
Not sure what I'm doing wrong here.
Do you have installed the android sdk?

If I remember correctly you need to download the android sdk and install the sdk and platform tools. When you do this make sure you make a folder on your desktop and name it whatever you want, and when you install the sdk make sure the install path goes to the folder you made. Then open a terminal window and navigate to the folder you installed the sdk to.
Then run the adb command, but it will be slightly different:
./adb devices

Not root, used Debloater tool to block updates. Would love to see a Mac root method released.
oh i see then. i will keep patiently waiting for a simpler root method. this one is already but for sure there has always been even more simpler methods surfaced.

I was reading some instruction from htcevohacks.com. Since i didn't decide to root or not yet, i just want to install those sdk and driver on my pc. sdk part is easy, and i installed it successfully. But adb driver part is tricky.
I followed instruction, turn on "USB debugging" in the settings, and reboot phone into recovery mode, plugged usb cable. However, the device manager of windows 7 didn't find any adb devices, then i tried refresh, still no lucky at all. what should I do to find adb device then update driver? or i have to root first b4 installing adb driver?

I am not sure, but i was wondering if the adb driver is necessary to be installed?
Yeah the HTC Sync.exe will have the drivers. Check your hardware configuration to make sure it's installed right then in the folder with adb installed use the command prompt to go: adb devices -> You should see a device with numbers. then you correctly installed it

this should definitely be in the Q&A board, not the developers board.
since you've already installed htc sync, the drivers should already be properly installed on your system.
ive only ran win xp and vista, not familiar with win 7, but if its designed the same, having no question marks, sounds like all connected devices have drivers properly installed ...
how do you know your adb drivers aren't installed? have you tried using adb? if so, what error does adb show?
Exit HTC sync first on your computer so it is not running or just uninstall it. It should find it after that.

Hi Guys
Do a require a specific driver for the new 4.2.2 system. I have updated my phone to run Cyanogenmod 10.1 and had some issues originally getting adb etc to identify the phone. I have since got past this and now get an unauthorised error in adb. This is normal the issue im having is that my phone does not prompt me when I connect it to my PC. I should be getting a whitelist prompt to confirm I authorise the Pc to run ADB commands.
Has anyone else had this rather than the expected whitelist prompt im getting the little android bloke asking do I want to copy files via usb. Im just trying to work out what I need to do to get my phone to prompt me when I connect via ADB. I have already enabled ROOT access to Apps and ADB, Enabled USB debugging etc
Any help would be appreciated I have tried a number of drivers but only ever get asked to copy file via usb.

I have tried with HTC Sync on and again after uninstalling it both result in the same issue usb prompt rather than ADB fingerprint prompt. No in Device Manager both of the connections for the device identify and install correctly.

Hmm Very strange.
Try:

Or if not try hasoons Root Toolkit, im sure that installs some drivers too. Hasoons got my ADB working.
Finally, to find ADB device, are you opening command prompt in Platform-tools folder?

Nice one cheers mate will try these drivers when I get home later. I was originally using Hasoons toolkit which is what flashed the recovery and new rom but once I updated to 4.2.2 the toolkit stopped. It was coming up as device offline. I have managed to get it working by overwritting the old ADB and fastboot files with the new ones for 4.2.2. The ones the toolkit comes with is 4.1 so was erroring as it didnt know to carry out the fingerprint check.
Yes mate I have tried various methods I have accessed the android\android-sdk\platform-tools folder and run ADB from there this identifies the phone but states its not authorised. I tried using the toolkit with the new ADB and fastboot but get the same.
Im just missing the ADB prompt on my phone for usb debugging just cant for the life of me identify why im getting the copy files from usb prompt rather than the adb fingerprint prompt. Im sure its drivers so am hopeful the ones on the link will fix it. Fingers crossed

once reinstalled adb gave unauthorised error again but then put the prompt up on the phone. So possible the 4.2 contains the info for requesting permission as i havent changed anything other than the drivers adb and fastboot have been the same since i started. Anyway cheers all

I don't see any other threads, so is it just me struggling to install working ADB drivers?
The zip file I found in another thread made out like it was installed, but apparently not...
Any tips?
Windows 7/8? The drivers that I posted in the dev thread should work.
If you're on Windows 8 though, you'll have to reboot in that insecure driver installation mode thing.

You try "ADB Composite Device" or something along those lines? When you run that one it should be good.
When you download the zip, you should just extract the whole thing. Then after that I find the driver manually instead of having it search the folders. Are you selecting the android_winusb.inf for the driver?
I'm on the same OS for my main desktop and I do a lot of my work with the N1 on there using those drivers. Are you using normal command prompt in the platform-tools folder? I don't use anything other than command prompt for adb, so I'm not sure about those picking it up.
Sorry if that isn't any help, but I'm not sure what would stop it from picking it up after you use those drivers.
the other threads zip file works fine with my win 64. Are you going through a usb hub? That can mess it up

No, no hub. Yep, doing all as I should. I'll try a different cable and different port though.

ADB not working on Ubuntu 13.10. No issue with fastboot. When I do ADB devices, it doesn't return anything at all aside from "List of devices attached" with a blank space underneath.
Curiously, even after enabling USB debugging I am never given the RSA popup asking me to confirm access. I'm guessing the two are related but even after revoking previous confirmations via the Developer Menu, I still can't get it to pop up.

I recently got this going on Ubuntu 12 on VIrtualBox.
I have to start the adb server as root to get it working, i.e sudo adb start-server,
before I do 'adb devices'.
Also if you use VIrtualBox don't forget to add the usb filter for adb mode too.

Yes I have install Google universal usb drivers worked for me search on Google for them
PTP worked for me, no LG driver installed.
Just got my G3 on Verizon, cannot see the device over ADB either on Mac OSX
I tried MTP, PTP, and Charge only both with and without LG drivers installed. Since it's OSX, there are no Google Universal USB drivers.
Android File Transfer opens up fine, but ADB doesn't show the device. Quite fishy indeed.

Hi there, you will first need to enable USB Debugging. Head over to Settings > General > About Phone > Software Information. Tap Build Number 5 times, and you'll unlock the Developer options.
Go to Settings > Developer options, and check USB Debugging. From there, ADB should work. Good luck!
OK, so I installed the new drivers, rebooted, and got ADB to recognize my LG, and was able to debug successfully. Now Android File Transfer doesn't see it, nor does Finder show the device. What am I missing?
It's broken, I saw a tweet from jcase regarding the issue. I have the same problem. I just adb push/pull when necessary for now.

I know this is a seriously old thread, but for future reference - if your device is NEVER recognised by adb from the start, no matter how much you add the vendor etc, open up Terminal.app and type this in:
cd ~/.android/
rm adbkey adbkey.pub
This will navigate to android's folder and remove the RSA keys your computer uses to identify with the phone. If the address of the folder is wrong you can alter the first line to whatever is appropriate.

Seriously old, and seriously unresolved (for me and a few people on reddit, at least). Still have not succeeded at getting ADB to detect G3 on USB, tried running the -usb flag on the cli and everything. Is there a working process yet? Verizon seems to be the outlier here as well...
Just worked for me on OSX Yosemite with a D855 on V10l:
- Update ADB (android platform tools)
- Install LG Driver (link is in this thread)
- Reboot
- run "rm ~/.android/adbkey" and "rm ~/.android/adbkey.pub"
- run "adb devices" (you should now see your G3)
- run "adb kill-server" (just to make sure there is no interference)
- quit all applications on your phone and go to home screen
- run "purpledrake_osx.command" which should now work
Inbetween (guess it was directly after running "purpledrake_osx.command") you should get a permission request on your phone which you should allow
Thanks

After enabling developer settings + USB debugging on phone (see earlier in thread),
Removing the adbkey + pub from the users .android folder (see earlier in thread),
and connecting with PTP,
It finally works
I investigated the ADB program. At How to Install ADB on Windows, macOS, and Linux, I am stuck at step 7 of the instructions for windows. I do not receive any kind of pop up in my SMJ200G phone (j2).
This step:
7. On your phone’s screen, you should see a prompt to allow or deny USB Debugging access. Naturally, you will want to grant USB Debugging access when prompted (and tap the always allow check box if you never want to see that prompt again).

Perhaps my PC's connection to the phone is buggy, not the cable, but the software? by software I mean Windows/PC not my phone.
