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 ?
Hello,
I have LG G3 D855 32 GB not rooted, dropped in water but now it's dry, it was giving me a green screen says "kernel crash". anyways, i have installed the LG drivers on Win7, all the drivers installed except the MTP one to try to fix it through LG Flash Tool but it didn't communicate with the phone because the MTP failed to insatll, no luck with usb cable. I Don't know if it's possible to boot/install anything from Micro Sd Card?? I have the .kdz .tot .dll files for it
I would appreciate any help
Thank you in advance.
It's not possible to install any firmware directly from the phone. Try anyway to connect your G3 with your computer and use the LG Flashtool to flash a kdz or an tot file. If it isn't successful you have to send it to LG for repair.
MTP Failed
Thank you Der CaRl fro the quick reply,
the phone can go to firmware update mode, but as i said the MTP driver couldn't be insatlled. i don't know if there is a way to make the phone in usb debugging mode from pc by commands or something??

Did you try the download mode (hold volume up then plug-in to PC), wait til the PC recognized your phone, then flash your rom via lg mobile tool or update via server.

Thank you for the reply
Yes I've tried it, and this is one of the main problems, when i go to the download mode and plug the phone it keeps searching for the MTP driver and failed to install it. I've tried all the solutions on the internet but with no luck.
Hi guys,
All in in the thread title. My mac with android file transfer will not recognize my G4.
It recognize him only in PTP mode.
Any ideas ??
Thanks
I had to download the drivers in order to recognize the device in adb. I downloaded the first one listed here: http://www.andromods.com/download-files/latest-lg-g4-drivers-usb-adb-win-mac.html
I had to "remove" the drivers and now it works :silly:
Yeah the LG bridge/drivers break android file transfer MTP. An easy way to uninstall all of the offending drivers and associated files is to use the LG unified driver uninstaller from the link below:
The same thing happened to me. I also had to reinstall and to get my Mac to recognize the G4 in adb.
Hi everyone, I bought an LG G3 Korean version (F400S) unlocked recently. It is a good phone but I am experiencing three annoying issues (out of the box) with the phone and they are:
1. NO sound at all from the back loudspeaker. The volume is set to maximum, there is no sound from music, video, notifications, touch sound effects, or even ringtone! Surprisingly, when I connect my earphones, there is sound in my earphone, when I remove the earphone, absolutely NO SOUND from the loudspeaker. The sound from ear speaker (the one used to make call) works. I have tested the ringtone in the Hidden Menu, when the ringtone is being played, there is no sound at all.
2. The LG G3 charges well when connected with the charger and when connected with my laptop as well. However, whenever I connect the LG G3 to my laptop, it only charges, it is NOT RECOGNIZED by my laptop. I have the LG Mobile driver installed (downloaded from the LG website (Korea website)), the LG PC Suite installed, the LG Mobile Phone Support Tool installed. Whatever I do, changes the USB cable/ USB port, try in different windows version (Windows 7, 8.1 and 10), USB debugging on and off, reinstall driver, reinstall driver from the option in LG PC Suite, restart the PC several times, NOTHING happens. It is not recognized at all in my laptop. ALSO I cannot see any thing related to LG driver in the Device Manager.
3. USB OTG does not work. I have tried with a working OTG cable to connect a pendrive in my LG G3, it is not recognized, even in the File Explorer of the phone. The cable and pendrive is however detected in my other android device.
The Android version of my LG G3 is Android 4.4.2 (I have received only one update for improving Google experience (about 10 MB).
The Kernel version is 3.4.0
The build number is KVT49L.F400S11a
Software version is F400S11a
Please help me, I have googled for the problems, searched in Youtube as well but no solutions. The phone was bought online, it is original but I have no warranty and even if i need to repair, I will have to send it back to China, which will be money and time consuming. Please help me.

Thanks for the reply, I tried your suggestion, but it did not work. Again, when I tried to connect the LG G3 to the PC so as to flash with the KDZ, it says on the taskbar: 'The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it'. In the Device Manager, I get USB Device Not Recognized (Error Code 43), Unknown USB device (Device Descriptor Request Failed) Error Code 43. I googled this issue as well no success, I reinstalled the LG Drivers, rebooted my PC, again NO LG DRIVERS in the Device Manager, and whenever I connect the LG G3 I get the same message I mentioned above. Hence, I cannot upgrade to the v20F version as I cannot connect the device to my PC.
UPDATE: I cannot put the device in download mode for flashing. I hold the volume up button while connecting the cable to the USB 2.0 port. The LG logo appears on the phone and it just charges. Also, I have tried to remove everything related to the drivers and reinstall, now I do not have the Error Code 43, BUT still the phone is not recognized.

Pull the battery
Only press the volume up button while connecting the cable to the USB port.
Let me know if that works. It sounds like your pressing the power button first, pressing volume up and then plugging the usb cable in
If it doesnt theres also the adb method as well that i can tell you after

I tried it but I only get a picture of a battery with a USB cable connected and a yellow triangle with an question mark. No download mode, and it is not detected by my PC. Please give me further suggestions. I am continuously searching how to solve these issues.

First update your drivers on your computer. If that won't work try different ports. USB 2.0 or 3.0 can make a huge difference. Your speaker is probably dead. And i don't have any experience with USB OTG so I can't help you with that

Already tried that with the '15-sec ADB' something like that + with Android studio, I have searched on youtube and google how to do it, but nothing happen when I enter the command, it just says that device not found. Whenever I connect a pendrive or my other phones to my PC, I can see in device manager, it refreshes and the driver for that particular device appears. BUT there is NO refresh nor any driver appearing when connecting the LG G3. Today I tried it with my friend's USB cable (he has the LG G3 (D855), it does not detect as well in his PC but his phone is detected in his PC. I really do not know what is the matter :crying:

Thank you for your reply, I have already tried all of these, nothing is working.
Did you figure out how to get your phone recognized by the computer? I am facing the very same issue and I'm feeling hopeless

No, i am still having the same issue. I think with an update it will be okay (but I have not received any update till now! I am stuck with Kitkat 4.4.2). If it is a hardware problem I will have to return it or replace the USB port or motherboard.
