[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] L4MBO:
I'm absolutely pulling my hair out on this one. While I'm no tech wizard, I'm not a complete mong either.

So I bought a refurbed N7 first gen from eBay, works lovely, no issues, except I can't put files on it.

When I plug it into my PC, Windows picks it up and adds it to the device manager under Portable Devices as Nexus 7, all fine and dandy. The drivers it uses appear to be generic Microsoft MTP ones: 6.1.7600.16385 (21/06/2006). I can see the device under My Computer and browse the folders, but I cannot take anything off it or put anything on it. By that I mean I cannot drop and drop, I cannot copy and paste, it appears to treat it as some form of ROM, and dragging a file to the folder just gives me the stop-sign type cursor. No errors, no nothing, just cannot put anything on it.

If I enable USB Debugging in the developer menu, Windows 7 finds some more drivers but the problem is identical.

I downloaded the proper Google drivers from both the Asus website and from a website it won't let me link to, andiiod developers dot com or something.

I've gone about various ways of installing them but Windows doesn't acknowledge them and reverts to the generic driver as above.

I can force them on by using the 'install legacy drivers' wizard, and they appear under Android Phone in the device manager.

With a bit of fannying about, I re-enabled USB debugging and this time the wizard asked me for drivers, so I pointed to the downloaded Google drivers and it chose the Android Composite ADB Interface drivers.

Still no joy.

I'm so angry I want to throw it out the window, but I suspect this is a Windows/driver issue rather than the Nexus.

Can someone PLEASE fix this for me? I've spent 3 days trying to fix it and nothing has worked.

Many thanks.

Perhaps a silly question .....but did you Google issue??

Anyway....I've never encountered this....and it seems you've tried a lot. All I can say is some issues are rare....and the answer isn't always found on xda. ;)

This is a thread to see if anyone has ideas on Unlocking the Bootloader & porting/creating CWM or TWRP to our device? Any ideas are helpful and welcomed.

Dont we need an unlocked bootloader first?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazie1:
I'm not to sure, I know you need the bootloader unlocked for Roms and Kernels

EDIT: I thought about it and your right, you always have to unlock the bootloader before you install the Custom Recovery.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmbfan13:
Are you sure the bootloader needs to be unlocked in order to install roms?? Thought that was only for custom kernels. Moto devices have always had pretty locked down devices, yet had recoveries and ability to install roms, if I remember correctly...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazie1:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ht...oader-custom-recovery-root-flashing-roms.html

Why should I unlock?

The explanation to this question is really simple. If you want root, you’d be wanting to flash Custom ROM post-root, and if you want to install a Custom ROM, you’d need to have your stock bootloader unlocked. In simple terms Unlocking the bootloader allows you to install custom Firmware on your Android phone

Warning: Unlocking your phone’s bootloader voids its warranty. It also completely wipes (formats) your Android phone’s internal memory including applications, contacts, SMS and MMS messages etc.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisexv6:
kexec is required to flash a kernel.

Safestrap is a way to flash somewhat custom ROMs (without kexec you need to use stock kernel) without recovery installed but it needs to be adapted to each specific phone. Right now I think they are working on a version that will work with the S4, not sure how attractive the G2 is (or will be).

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbreen94:
You guys first need Root to do anything (which i believe you have). Then you need a Custom Recovery. Installing a Custom Recovery can be accomplished via a workaround or by unlocking the bootloader. A workaround like loki by djrbliss on the Galaxy S4 which isn't an unlock but more so a bypass or like Safestrap by Hashcode.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiimimtayaz:
i completely agree with the said explanation. but I'm having difficulties with my device i.e. LG G2 (D802).

I'm rooted with custom recovery TWRP and unable to install most of AOSP roms based on 4.4 KitKat. New Custom roms are coming up very frequently now for this device but so far I'm able to flash ParanoidAndroid Rom and modifited stock rom... Apart from this I always gets error while flashing the rom.

Most of the time Error comes up saying 'Status 7 Error' and 'unable to execute update binary'.

I did google on this subject and tried everything i found but the problem still exist.

I never had these problem flashing LG Stock or Android 4.3 based roms. Need advise on this subject. By the way any help on unlocking the bootloader????

thanks:good:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danlat1415:
Hi,

I've got S-OFF's phone with bootloader unlocked.

I've had the phone months and been using various custom roms and firmwares.

I'd tried the latest 3.17 rom but the radio was rubbish and decided to go back to 2.24.401.8 based rom.

I flashed the unmodified 2.24.401.1 firmware (inc HBOOT, radio etc.)

This went fine, but it's wiped my phone and now I have no ROMs on the phone to be able to flash them.

How do I get my phone back up and running???

please help
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prinz069:
Had that once,too. Try to upload the rom with adb or a toolkit
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InflatedTitan:
Either fastboot a ruu, run a ruu.exe, or you have to adb sideload a rom in twrp
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edepot:
Follow this procedure:

You need to relock your bootloader and flash a RUU.zip which is the stock 4.1.2.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danlat1415:
Thanks for your suggestions.

I managed to sort it by flashing CWM recovery, going in it and doing a full wipe (the firmware change seemed to have messed up the data on phone rathan than wipe it.

Then I use adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip (naming my custom Rom ROM.zip)

I was then able to load the Rom in CWM and get the phone running.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoryTallman:
I've seen a lot of people resorting to a RUU lately. It seems like every time someone has trouble, that's the answer they get. RUU's are usually a last effort to fix a phone. In most situations there's an easier fix. ( like adb push )

Hi,

I have just upgraded to WM2005 1.60c. It is excellent. One thing that i miss is the SMS delivery notification always on patch which worked on the 2003. Has anyone looked into this and see if it can be done on the wm2005.

[G2 General] Makman20:
I totally agree. Walked in the local at@t store today and not even a display was up. IPhone 5c was definitely being advertised though. I asked for the lg g2 and they looked confused. Had to grab the manager to find out they actually had them in. the manager confirmed it was in. I was gonna buy it retail but I was turned away because I'm not an at@t customer. Ridiculous
[G2 General] Scott:
This sounds more like Verizon than anything.

usually AT&T is pretty good.

I went to my local store and they were more than willing to help me.

They always are...

Asked about accessories and they ran to the back to check and came back wiht this horrid body glove case but...

Yeah, My AT&T store was all over it.

Verizon on the other hand... I am scared to go int here. I will end up walking out with a Motorola. Arghhh
[G2 General] burningembers:
Lucky :(

Can you confirm it is the 16GB model? If it is in fact the 32GB model and they just didn't know, I would probably go back and buy it...
[G2 General] milestide25:
I can understand the frustration, but I have a couple of responses to things you said. First, as far as I'm aware, no US LG G2 comes with 16GB. Second, you can check to see how much storage the phone has in the settings menu.
[G2 General] burningembers:
Since they had no demo they didn't want me turning on and bypassing activation on the other unless I bought it.

The retail LG G2 costs $540, the online one costs $575. Another indication that the retail store model comes with less storage.
[G2 General] inimitableac:
You not lying when I went in the store to buy me and my gf on we had to tell the rep what it was she hadn't even did the training but all that aside I love this fun

[G2 General] usa318:
No problem in Atlanta. Went to a store when they opened. They brought me the box, tired to sell me on Next, I laughed.... bought the 32gb version and love it so far.
[G2 General] milestide25:
Wow. Based on everything I've read, they haven't released an American version with 16GB. http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-D800-g2 That states that the LG G2 for AT&T has 32GB of storage. I'm not arguing, but I am researching this as well. I have heard people asking the same question, but everything I've read leads me to believe all US versions are 32GB.

Kimberly: Thank you for chatting in with Best Buy Mobile, my name is Kimberly. What questions may I answer for you today?

Yes can you confirm something for me?

Me:Product SKU 1715501, does this come with 16 or 32GB of storage space?

Kimberly: It is a 16GB phone memory.

Me: I don't believe that LG released a US version with 16GB of internal memory. Since there is no expansion slot for an SD card, this is a major deal.

Kimberly: This phone does have a slot for an SD card (up to 64GB card).

Me: No ma'am it doesn't. That I can confirm most definitely.

Me: No version of the phone has a slot for expansion. The battery is not removable.

Kimberly: Media card slot

Accepts microSD cards up to 64GB (not included). This is under the specs.

Me: So is 5.5" display, but that isn't true either.

Kimberly: Well that is just a mis type.

This is a conversation I had with a Best Buy rep. She was far from helpful. I promptly reviewed my experience as negative when she disconnected after saying that.
[G2 General] burningembers:
No problem.

Based on your comment and some others here, I called 3 more stores. 2 will let me order it and have it shipped to my house, but don't stock any. But...wait for it...

The third one has both 16GB and 32GB models, $540 and $575 respectively, and I can pick it up anytime this evening. Yay!

...except I can't cancel my online order, apparently it is too late, so now I have two...

[G2 General] milestide25:
I've spoken with 4 different Best Buy reps and an AT&T rep that know almost nothing about the device. The Best Buy reps all claim that the phone is available in white from them. The AT&T rep says that the phone isn't available in white. One Best Buy rep told me that the white phone is a 16GB phone. I'm getting conflicting answers and according to LG's site, the D-800 LG G2 comes with 32GB of internal storage.
[G2 General] Scott:
Can someone ask the mods to combine this thread with the other complaint thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2443438

Kinda useless to have two threads to bash the same company.

However, I would like to see one bashing a Verizon store.

Can someone go to a Verizon store and have a bad experience then come complain on XDA?

Walked into my local store after work to pick up the G2, one the rep who helped me had no idea what the phone was, even tho I was right in front of the phone when he approach me. I asked him whether it was with or 32 and couldn't tell me. I literally had to open the box to find out lol, guy was pushing the iPhone on me and wondering why I didn't just get an iPhone 5 lol, So yes AT&T at least in this location is not helping LG out at all.

Why couldn't you just turn the phone on go into settings and hit storage to see what the storage is? Anyway I'm in Louisiana and I was in and out of att in less than 15 minutes. Same story with my s4. The ipads make upgrading smooth as butter. Go att.

Sorry to here OP that you got a bum deal where you are at. Quite the opposite for me and love the phone. Best one I have ever owned.

Work at a corporate store here. Not all of us are idiots. It just seems like it's a "cool" thing to bash corporate stores these days.

I even sold the G2 to an older lady today looking for a big screen phone with good battery life. She was using an iPhone 4. Good phone btw like it so far.

I work for sprint, yes I know this is about at&t so I'll keep all my carrier opinions to myself, but I'm a huge fan of LG. I would hate to see their image hurt like this. As soon as our LG rep comes in I'll show him this story. He also reps for at&t. He showed us the g2 on at&t before any of the at&t stores in our area got to see it. Part of his job is to report reports like this to the team that can actually get something done about this. LG spent millions on marketing for this device including accessories. This is their most promoted devices in their mobile history.

Point is I'll report this for you.
[G2 General] dante501:
I am in the same boat like u I actually love lg devices. I currently using the g pro and thinking about getting the G2. Also would prefer sprint again but can't go with them again. They say I owe them still a lot of money when in fact I don't even have service with them in years but oh well. Probably going ATT again. Any idea how the Sprint version will be? More international like or verzion like? I mean the look of the phone.

[G2 General] ericdabbs:
LG really needs to step up and put a huge marketing campaign to really get the word out that LG is here to compete in the high end smartphone game. I don't want to see Samsung just dominate year after year as top dog for Android phones. I want HTC and LG to rise up and be strong competitors to Samsung.

LG should have the funds for a large marketing campaign since they are a huge conglomerate in Korea. My only concerns with LG is the Android software support. They definitely need to show that they will support this device if tons of folks buy this device.

[G2 General] shockandawe:
That was the price they had posted inside the store. The more I think about it, I believe they accidentally priced it the same as the G Pro. Whatever the case, I walked out knowing I got good deal.
[G2 General] zxrax:
Man, you guys have some horrible AT&T stores/retailers around. I went to the local corporate store and talked to three different associates (two of whom were busy helping other customers) about the phone and all of them had undergone training on it and said it seemed like a fantastic choice.

There is absolutely not a 16GB model of the phone at the AT&T store. Mine is the 32GB model with ~24GB available to the user. On the receipt the price said $540. I chose the AT&T Next payment plan though, if that makes a difference. If you'd like I can take a picture of the receipt as proof.
[G2 General] shockandawe:
Exactly, they charged me $540 in the store, and I knew AT&T online was $575, I walked out satisfied.
[G2 General] vince2398:

i got mine last night (exchange from the moto x). it says 574.99 on the price tag but when they finally rung it up, it was only 540. i paid for the full price... both moto x and g2. and on my moto x, i also got it for 540 instead of 570.. i think they knock the price down when you buy it full price.

I went to Dallas flagship ATT store yesterday, and they had it on display. Did not check the strage. Pretty sure I am going back to get one shortly.
[G2 General] nickn850:
It seems to me most of you guys are going to Authorized Dealers. AT&T puts out their demos the night before launch and I assure you most reps can tell you the basics of an Android device. If not then you should be sending an email to the office of the DOS, VPGM, etc. LG phones typically are not the most popular handsets with AT&T. Usually that goes to the IPhone or the Galaxy series. I love my LG G2, but I will tell you if I was just a regular customer walking in that I doubt it would be a phone I would gravitate towards due to the low amount of marketing they do. You gotta remember, only a very small amount of Cell users are as knowledgeable as a community like this. I will also say to the Op that I dont know where you are getting your information on the 16gb or 32gb, but according to what I see there is only a 32gb model with AT&T. The one I have is 32gb, and it was $199.

---------- Post added at 11:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 AM ----------

No, the price is marked down because they have a Promotional pricing on NEXT (monthly installment plan). The monthly price is calculated by the full cost of the phone, therefore the phone price is automatically marked down. There is no discount for buying a phone at full price otherwise.
[G2 General] saywhat4118:
If you do the Next then it's 540. If you just buy it out right without next or anything its 575.
[G2 General] Wesley32:
From my experience so far, no. Called at&t and best buy. Even the two local best buys in my town only have the black version. They claim white is online only, best buy only. But who knows the actual truth. All I hear about it the iPhone every time I try to talk to someone at at&t or best buy. So, yeah.
