ok.. I hope you people do no not mind me asking this.

but when I download the file, I try to unzip it with WinRAR, however it tells me the file is corrupted ? I am on windows 8.1

also, how do I go to ADB Mode ?

thanks
[G3 Android Development] jomansch:
hi m8, no need to wait...I had mine rooted with purple rain and had it returned for heat/battery/reboot issues, simply flashed back the stock rom with flashtool, factory settings. The phone returned today, they fixed "something" under warranty, didn't find out yet what exactly they did. no issues though the last 5hrs;)...

Maybe you could try on another computer with windows 7 to see if there's a specific issue with windows 8 going on.

I'm not sure if I get your question right but to use this you just need to have usb debugging active, use PTP mode as specified on the OP and be sure that your pc has adb working.

I need help! My g3 isn't recognized on Mac when using osx command link. Help!
[G3 Android Development] ipguy:
Read my post a few posts up
[G3 Android Development] yankees45us:
I tried all that. I set debugging mode, set ptp and tried the osx command app. I just don't know.
[G3 Android Development] ipguy:
Your not in download mode are you ?
[G3 Android Development] clockwork58:
Awesome. Rooted perfectly on my Rogers D852.

I have Windows 8.1

I used 7-zip to unzip the file, no reason why winrar shouldn't work, but redownload the file just in case you had glitch.

I just realized i had my phone in MTP mode and it still worked. Oopsie.

Also you don't "GO into ADB mode", you just have to ensure it's active by doing the following:

1. Unlock developer options on your phone by tapping the Build # in About 7 times.

2. in Developer options ensure USB Debugging is checked.

3. Connect the phone to the PC

4. Install the drivers listed on the first page.

5. Try running the windows bat file if you've successfully extracted it.

if you want to know if adb is working, then in the CMD prompt window goto: PurpleDrake-Lite\assets\windows\bin and type in adb to start it and then 'adb devices' and the phone should show up.

looks like you are in the developer setting screen.

When you plug your phone into your computer the notification menu when you pull it down should be asking if you want to conenct via MTP or PTP mode.

Right now the bootloader is still locked so there is still no "normal" way to change your recovery. There is a tethered way for now, but it won't work the same as the normal flashing method. You can read about it here:

[G3 Android Development] Steph09:
Are you sure that you have the correct drivers and adb working on your pc? Also check that you have usb debugging on and that you are on PTP mode. If everything is ok, try closing the purple drake application and use the "adb devices" command to have your phone listed in cmd. After it appears, close cmd and go back to open purple drake and try it again. That's worked for me and others whi have had the same issue.

Basically ADB is an Android Debug Bridge and it provides a terminal-based interface for interacting with your phone’s file system. It comes as a part of the standard Android SDK, you can get it from - http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Maybe one of the "bloatware" apps you removed is the one that is making CRC checks to validate downloaded update files.

You should try to restore your phone of update via USB.

I was also rooted and was able to receive the OTA normally and kept root, that happened when updating to v10i. But if that's not your case, you should try searching for the threads in this forum that are named "LG Flashtool 2014" and "Unroot using only LG PC Suite", something like those names. Those are 2 ways in which you can try unrooting to then be able to update via OTA.
