[Q] Can't Install G2X USB Driver - T-Mobile LG G2x

When I first got my T-Mobile G2X (LGP999DW) I installed the USB driver on my PC and it worked fine.
But since rooting, clockworkmod and install of CM7, every time I connect my G2X to my PC via USB I get a prompt to install the USB drivers for "LGE Android Phone".
I've installed the driver file
LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN36AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.6.exe
but no joy. The LG Mobile Support Tool also won't recognize the phone.
Help!

im having the same problem. havent figured out the answer yet. help needed here as well...

Updating G2x via LGMobile Updater

The updater recognized the phone until I installed the drivers via the install drivers button. I had the usb drivers installed from the lg website and was updated to 3.2.1 and now the updater won't see the phone and the usb ports i plug my phone into read "This device cannot start. (Code 10)
I have tried uninstalling the 3.2.1 driver and restarting the computer with no luck. Any ideas?

Phone can no longer connect to PC.

I tried connecting my phone to my laptop today and it said installing drivers. It was working yesterday but today for some reason it was trying to install drivers again. It failed, so I downloaded the LG drivers and installed them but my laptop still tries to install the drivers and fails.
I already tried uninstalling the drivers and installing them again.
This is what it says under Device Status
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
EDIT: I got it working by turning on USB Debugging mode.

by any chance did you ever figure this out? I flashed my g2x to hellfire ICS 4.0.4 and while I once was able to get the drivers to work, now I get the same error This device cannot start.
i have usb debugging and unknown sources enabled, but mass storage on my phone is disabled. is that related?

MTP not Working

Hello all. Thanks for the help. I have a G2x running Hellfire Sandwich v1.5. I cannot get my computer (XP SP3) to install drivers for MTP. I have downloaded the LG united usb driver and also the MTP drivers for Windows update and still no luck. Everytime I plug the phone into my computer it finds new hardware and tries to install drivers for it. I tell it it is ok to go on the internet for drivers and it still can't find anything. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and I have tried install with the phone plugged in during install and with the phone unplugged during install. I have gotten all the most recent drivers and still can't get it to work? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

have you flashed any kernels? (im not sure what comes in HFS) but some have issues with breaking MTP.
second, wikipidia states:
On Microsoft Windows, MTP is supported in Microsoft Windows XP if Windows Media Player 10 or later versions are installed.

so check to see if that is all there.
if after all of this it still wont work, try flashing another rom and try it on that.
Good Luck
Thanks for the reply. I saw that on Wiki and checked Media Player. I'm running v11. As for the kernel version:
3.0.26-p999-ics

MTP Driver Issues with the LG (Tmo) G2X
After suffering my own issues with Sync and MTP, I can discuss my resolution:
I recently flashed Eaglesblood ICS for my T-mo G2x - all was well until I wanted to access the phone from my Asus EEE WinXP via USB.
Connected via USB and presented with an immediate popup to access photos only via LG-P999. No access to card.
Navigated to the USB options on device, 2 selections: Connect as a Camera or Connect as MTP Device.
When attempting to connect via MTP, I got a Driver Install Popup which could NOT install the drivers no matter what.
Here's what worked for me:
1. Make sure your Windows Media Player is updated to the latest version (>10).
2. Get the latest Driver Update from the LG Website and install it. If prompted, install the MTP Driver from Microsoft (automatic).
3. Disable USB Debuggging on DEVICE.
4. Connect the device, and you will once again be prompted with a DRIVER install FAIL. Now, navigate to the Device Manager on your PC.
5. Find the Yellow Exclamation point on the P999 Device in the manager. RIGHT CLICK the device and click UPDATE DRIVER.
6. Disable "Search Microsoft Update to Search for Drivers" then click Next.
Now, MTP Driver should successfully automatically install and you should be able to access SD. One caveat: I am only able to access SOME files as the ones that were previously associated with my last build (Gingerbread) do not always show, such as recorded calls from Call Recorder, etc.)
But this resolved the issue generally for me.
Good luck.

how do you disable the usb debugging? thanks
After flashing a kernel on LG G2, my MTP wouldn't connect. All I did was turned off developer mode and turn it back on and magic it worked again.
Thanks for the tip.

Infuse on CM9 USB driver not working

*FIXED*
I recently blew away my pc and reinstalled windows. Now I cant get adb to recognize my infuse.
Device manager says "infuse 4g" under other and "the drivers for this device are not installed"
I have installed the Infuse USB drivers from samsung multiple times, rebooted my pc, updated driver, etc.
I have installed kies.
I have flashed my phone back to AEON 2.3.6 and adb recognized the device.
I flashed back to CM9 and it doesnt work
I can mount my SD cards and transfer files just fine.
Before I blew away windows everything worked.
Am I missing a driver, do I have the wrong driver? Or does CM9 not work with USB debugging yet?
NEVERMIND I FIXED IT
New windows installation didnt have updates enabled yet. When I turned on updates it found the drivers and works. Carry On

Usb drivers for your android phone

USB Drivers are let your PC communicate with your device.
If you are executing some ADB Commands, you will need USB Drivers installed which will let the ADB server on your PC communicate with the ADB client on your device. If there are no USB Drivers installed on your PC, you will not be able to perform activities on your device via the PC.
First of All I would recommend you to install Universal ADB Driver Installer.The Universal ADB Driver installer detects your phone and installs the ADB drivers for it.This tool developed by drsmart is your solution to the “device not found” error you might get on executing ADB commands.

MORE DEVICES WILL BE UPDATED
Thanks for the info. I tried the univ adb driver installer but it showed I already had the right driver installed. Windows explorer can see my phone but other apps like HTC Sync or myphoneexplorer can't. This only happened after I rooted & installed a new rom. Maybe the rom is faulty...

Rooted
I was running CM 10.2 with latest nightly, I think 20131208 and decided to update to CM11 via my Cyanogenmod updater but before I did I had read somewhere I should change from CWM recovery to TWRP so I downloaded Goomanager and updated to the TWRP version for my phone then went for the KitKat update and thats when the trouble began.
I am now stuck in a boot loop even if I try to boot into TWRP all I get is the TWRP boot logo then straight into boot loop again. I am almost positive I did a factory wipe as well as cache/dalvik.
Not being able to use TWRP to get into recovery I thought I would just use Odin but I can't get any of my laptops to recognize the phones USB, I just get the windows usb driver error and have tried to install the drivers manually via device manager using my samsung 7 chronos with windows 8.1 and my acer with windows 7. I updated drivers using Samsung Kies and from the website, no luck.
I also ventured into an area that I have no expertise in but I guess thats how we learn so I downloaded the Android SDK thinking I could use it to download and install the google USB drivers that way, but I can't get out of boot loop to make sure USB debugging is checked. The only thing I can access is the stock download mode which would be great if I could use the USB connection.
What am I missing? Any suggestions?
USB Not Recognized Error
I noticed that my phone suddenly stopped being recognized on both my Windows 7 and Win8 laptops. I have been trying to fix it with the drivers but to no avail. However, I plugged my phone in with a different USB cord and voila it was recognized and working. Maybe this could possibly be a simple fix.
My computer stopped recognizing my Skyrocket
Hi Everyone,
I also am having trouble with my win 7 computer recognizing my Skyrocket suddenly. I have been using several KitKat roms and they have been working just fine, except for some reported bugs that the CM devs are working on. I even was able to connect to the computer and explore both my internal and external drives. Then suddenly that stopped and the computer gave me a need to get drivers warning. I've tried to download drivers from Samsung and the computer says they are already installed. I also tried the universal driver download and got the same message. Any help would be appreciated. Like the others on this forum, I wouldn't be able to odin if I got in trouble.
Thanks for your concideration,
drewfs7270
I switched to a different rom and now it's working again !

Also, any mobile manufacturer website has guides or direct downloads for drivers. Otherwise uni drivers suffice.....

soft brick
I face bad experienced, the tablet can not boot ( after install TWRP ) but enable to enter the fastboot mode and can be detected by the computer as android adb interface but adb can't communicated with the tablet. (list of devices atached)
I do have a backup file ( I make it before soft brick, I make backup using dd command, because I don't have cwm/twrp recovery ).... but how to flash it ? Tablet chipset is wonder media 8980 OS android 4.2.2
I can not flash it by adb/fastboot.
Maybe someone here can give me a little guide for how to....
I really appreciate for your kindness
Hey, I made an expirience, which might help other users as well.
I have a Sony device (Z1C) and use Windows 10, maybe this will help for other brands and for other Windows 10 users.
I installed drivers for my device and was able to use adb. When I put the phone into fastboot mode, it was not recognized anymore. I found out, Sony has a seperate (updated, maybe?) driver for fastboot mode. When I tried to install this, the driver was not signed and Windows refused to install it. However, you can enter the UEFI (successor of BIOS) and enable installation of unsigned drivers (at own risk). Then I was able to install the fastboot driver and controll my phone in fastboot mode as well as in adb mode.
In conclusion: You might think you installed drivers, because you did, but maybe you did not.
Even on LineageOS page, many people fail to mention that, you DON'T and SHOULDN'T install any generic or universal ADB driver if you have Samsung device. As you can just install Samsung USB Drivers officially from Samsung site. Samsung USB Drivers already contain ABD interface driver just fine so Universal ADB driver is redundant for Samsung phones.
