My computer doesn't seem to see my device in adb. How do I make sure that I have all the needed drivers?

---------- Post added at 12:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 AM ----------

How did you get your driver issue sorted out?
[G2 Android Development] unfaix:
here the god damn driver.

searching for the lg g2 always show up the stupid lg g2X. wtf man

When I run the command "abd devices" it says:

c:\ioroot6>adb devices

*daemon not running. Starting it now on port 5037*

*daemon started successfully*

List of devices

c:\ioroot6>_

I'd appreciate any help.

Using windows 8. And I accepted the ota.
[G2 Android Development] erraggy:
That means it isn't seeing your device. Check the post right above yours to for the latest drivers.
[G2 Android Development] minmongoblin:
Thanks, I did get that RSA message now. Then I re-typed adb devices in DOS and it had a string of letters and numbers with the word "device" after it, so I assume that's my phone and it's recognized

So then I re-ran the .bat file, put my connection into Ethernet mode (after changing to charging-only and then back to Ethernet mode, like you suggested), went into airplane mode, then clicked any key, like the prompt said....still zippy-fast text followed by the DOS window closing. I thought I'd gotten somewhere, but I'm still getting this result when I run the script

I appreciate your help so far btw, grey. Any more ideas now that RSA is accepted?
[G2 Android Development] greyhd:
Have all the updated drivers? Also try to just disconnect the phone after the rsa message and click on the bat file. I never had the window just close, I know I had issues with the phone being recognized.
[G2 Android Development] minmongoblin:
Yup, used the link to get all the drivers

I'm at a loss I guess
[G2 Android Development] greyhd:
You can do it manually but IOroot25 is set up for one click and your done.
[G2 Android Development] minmongoblin:
Yeah, I wish I could take the easy way but apparently my phone+computer don't agree. Is there a noob-friendly guide to the manual rooting technique?

Hi very new to this rooting stuff everyone tells me I should with my TMO 801 G2 and wonder if this will work? It's running KK
[G2 Android Development] melmotion:
No root for D801 KK yet

I also recently got a G2 D801 on T Mo. Root isn't available so easily for us. You must go through the tedious and risky downgrade process and root your device, then install a KK rom with custom recovery. Hopefully salvation is near.
[G2 Android Development] sidog:
I'm on the same boat...TMO version (D801) on KitKat. What's odd is that I was able to root the phone using IOROOT25 after my 2nd attempt...but after 2 hours or so, I lost root. Now, I get some sort of googleapps error on reboot everytime. Not really sure what the best course of action at this point is....
[G2 Android Development] AndroidInsanity:
Sorry If this has been asked I did search.

I have D802 KitKat, can I use this to root or do I have to downgrade?

I tried rooting, it installs superuser but root checkers say it isn't rooted.

EDIT: My bad, done it with that ioroot25
[G2 Android Development] bradbutter:
i also have the t-mobile version and am waiting for root. I was rooted and updated ..smh .. but i cant wait any longer as good s stock is im a flash junkie and im going to jus go ahead and do the downgrade and flash a KK rom lol

Rooting on stock Kit Kat issues

I'm using the manual method on a mac. When I use "adb reboot recovery", the phone reboots into the android with the red triangle. I just bought the phone used. Everything else is working fine with it other than rooting. Any ideas?
[G2 Android Development] xNotta:
I just want to make sure of this before I root.

Since shell calls for "su", the step to manually back up my EFS needs to be done AFTER "adb sideload" completes and the phone is booted back into the rom?

and are the "if" and "of" are in the right place in the quote above? I hate using dd, it scares me... one mistake and you wipe an entire partition/disk.

Just rooted; then, once I was back into my rom, ran the EFS backup commands.

Worked perfectly! (I think) Thank you!

Also found your EFS Partition Backup and More scripts.

Going to use the All partition one once I get recovery installed.

Does ioroot install busybox?

To /sbin? Can I clean install to /xbin?
[G2 Android Development] NicoC72:
So I just got a brand new LG G2 D801 (T-Mobile varient). Still has what I assume is the shipping ROM on it (D80110c), I even have the "System update downloaded, touch to install" notifcation. I'm unclear on what I have to do in order to get a KitKat ROM on this thing. I plan on flashing the official CM11 M6 build first.

What I'm ASSUMING I have to do:

1. Go through IORoot process. I now have a rooted D801 shipping ROM.

2. Install TWRP. Best place to install this? Always used GooManager on my HTC Sensation.

3. Download CM11 M6 and the latest PA GApps. Put those on the internal storage.

4. Reboot into recovery, backup shipping ROM, wipe everything (minus internal storage), flash CM and GApps.

5. Enjoy CM11! Maybe flash some mods, mess with xposed, ect.

Of course I'll try other ROM's from XDA, but CM11 is just my go to when I first root a device. Will there be baseband conflicts with anything doing it this way? Can somebody help me take some of the guess work out of this? Thanks!
[G2 Android Development] jkeuclid:
No, have to install manually. I used Stericson's Busybox Pro on Google Play and yes you can install to /xbin clean.

[G2 Android Development] crzykiller:
I don't know if it will be updated but since the knock-code update for the LG G3 D803 (canada) this method no longer works and you have to go back to the 4.4.2 20c KDZ to get it to work. Just a little heads and wondering if it will be updated to support it :)
[G2 Android Development] nerd1:
I picked up a 2nd hand G2 and was having some problems, the last thing i did was try to update using the PC Suite software and after downloading the 1.6GB KDZ file it rebooted my phone and the phone just hung there with the word "rooted" on the bottom.

I checked with root checker and it said its not rooted. Someone suggested to restore stock to fix my problem. Following the various instructions it leads me to root my phone first using ioroot. And using ioroot it gives me the following error message

Determining device model...

No matching phone found.

along with current firmware version.

(my software version is D802T10a-505-03, Building number JDQ39B)

After I press any key on the computer to continue the ioroot install my phone reboots to the green android lying down with an error message, "no command". I have to power off and power back on.

I tried to boot into recovery by pressing the volume down and power key and cannot boot into recovery to see if I can manually push this through and I an't get it to boot using that option.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
[G2 Android Development] autoprime:
you can no longer boot into stock recovery after the knock code update? as in "adb reboot recovery" doesnt take you to the stock recovery screen? if that's the case.. no ioroot wont be updated to fix this. but if it DOES still take u to stock recovery then you should be able to just use the 4.4.2 manual directions.

youre on 4.2.2 so not sure why youre trying to boot into recovery. booting into recovery for root is used on 4.4.2

just follow the manual 4.2.2 steps for D802 and you'll be rooted(steps found in my main ioroot25 post)

My cousin is curious about rooting this phone due to some improvement that can be made to the camera so I'm looking it up for him as he's "stupid" lol.

Updated original root post.

IOroot 25 refresh 1

Nothing really new... just come script cleanup... mention of G3 support... and all scripts check for 4.4.2 first now... so LG devices are not limited to what devices I add into script.

If your LG device is on 4.4.2 and you can get into STOCK RECOVERY MENU and see the "update with adb" option then IOroot25 should work for you.

To check if you can get into stock recovery:

enable adb

open terminal/command prompt

enter: adb reboot recovery

Display Issues

Hello, I just rooted my phone with this method, and directly after, I started getting this weird display issue on my phone. The screen works fine from a restart however if the screen is turned off after that, weird bars of color fill the screen making everything not visible at all. It was working fine before rooting it so I don't think it is a hardware issue (although this type of thing on many other devices would usually indicate a hardware issue...). Is there any fix to this? A picture of it is below. I am currently running the latest version of Cloudy Flex.
[G2 Android Development] robogo1982:
It's not the root method's problem. Ask in Cloudy Flex topic.

How do I know it's not ioroot's fault? Used it dozens of times, never a single problem.
[G2 Android Development] autoprime:
updated the windows .bat to include a tweak mentioned by [MENTION=5896684]Kyujin[/MENTION] which apparently makes it work better with win8.1. [Yay!]

it's still v25r1.

Since the lines seem to go away.. this might be an issue with your kernel and panel/screen combo. if you flashed a lgd kernel you may have a jdi panel and need a jdi kernel.

http://downloads.codefi.re/savoca/galbi

No, v25r1 was really just a few script fixes. The root for 4.4.2 requires the ability to get into the stock recovery menu which still isn't possible afaik. :(
