Win 10 - PDANet problems with LG G3 - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all.
I've recently got internet problems here and I've decided to use my phone as a modem, like I've been doing in the past with previous phones.
However, now I got a laptop with Win 10 and an LG G3 phone, and is giving me quite a headache.
Yes, I already uncovered developing options.
No, I have not rooted my phone ((should I?))
Everything runs smoothly until the last part of the installation when this happens:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Ironically, I can open my phone via file explorer no problem, and transfer files back and forth to the internal & SD card folders.
I even transferred the .apk for the PDAnet installation to the phone and installed it there manually... but every time I enable the USB mode it crashes miserably and I have to restart.
Any suggestions? advice?
Many thanks in advance.

You don't need pdanet. Delete it completely, reboot, connect usb, enable usb tethering, let win10 install stock drivers. That's all.

i could do that.
but then sprint will charge me for tethering.

Root Failure after A2SD

Hi trusty XDA-peoples... I've been on the modaco forums the past 12 hours and have had no luck. I have a bung Desire after following the Apps2SD update (the goldcare and root went 100% fine). I used the old method and have just tried Paul's new method. The result is the same (I've tried it in 3 different Linux distros, it still says "device not found"). I'm only getting this 'device not found' AFTER I applied the A2SD zip update on the modaco forum (first page on the root instructs).

If anyone can help, that'd be much appreciated. The phone was on the red-triangle when this error occurs, and I've also tried it on the "different screens" (which doesn't make sense but I tried them anyway - on hboot screen and fastload screen) - still device not found...
Thanks guys.
I had a similar issue running the initial root through a virtualbox. I got this when I hadn't allowed the 'generic' android phone access through the virtual-usbs.
You have a usb driver problem.
Solutions:
1. try another computer
2. there's a free utility USBDview that lists all your usb devices/drivers installed on your computer and allows you to delete them so that they get reinstalled when connected.

Is your phone giving you a Mount option ?
I'm having similar problem as well. Phone didn't even give me mount option.
get the drivers....
do a search to find out where to get em.
No mount option.
I plug my baby into my other baby and the phone just charges.
No option to set it to mount the SD card or tether or charge or anything.
And I have indeed googled for the drivers but to no avail.
Any help is much appreciated.

Install pdanet on your computer and when it asks if you want to reinstall drivers select yes. Its the easiest fix so far, i had the same issue when trying to get the g2 to be seen by my win 7 64 box... junefabrics(dot)com/android/

[Q] Retarded File Transfer? Mass Storage Capabilities

I recently got an E4GT, and it for several months, i'd been running custom ROM's etc, all of which were Jelly Bean roms on 4.2.1+. However, while using stock on this replacement phone, I've run into the problem that there's no way to transfer files on this phone anymore. When I connect the phone, there's an option to switch between MTP and PTP, which USED to be fine because I could actually transfer files, however with this phone and update, I try to move music, pictures, docx, pdf's etc and nothing works. All I see is empty file folders.
How can I transfer files again???
This is what I get when I try to move a folder
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is what I get when I actually open the folder
Now, I understand why USB Mass Storage was changed to MTP/PTP, however what I don't understand is why this was added if it wasn't going to work?? And since it doesn't work, how can I transfer my files so that they do work?
Have you tried rebooting your computer then seeing if it works.
Ir if you have a memory card just pull it out and put in the computer to transfer your files for temporary fix.

Try using the AIO mod, or a custom TouchWiz ROM with it included (almost all of the GB27 ROMs have it). This problem was fixed a long time ago.

I'm running windows 8.1 and already been playing around with several drivers, tried to force install some, but no luck either. Does anyone have a solution for this? I saw some people had problems with win8, and others didn't, been looking for something for 2 hours now, would be nice if someone could help out. Thanks! :good:

Windows 8.1 is the culprit dude. win 8 and 8.1 are different. My Gio works with windows 8 but it shows exactly same error MSG on win 8.1
Heh, that really sucks. So weird though. I got no problem with other Samsung devices in DL mode and I thought they all used a similar protocol.
On my way to an internet cafe I guess, hope they don't get mad. :laugh:
