I have LG G3 with android 5.0 lollipop and I want to connect it to my laptop with windows 8.1 OS (For using unity remote).

When I connect my phone I can access to storage but I can't see my device in adb.exe. I tried many solution like this and this but nothing work for me.

For now in developer mode I checked these:

  • Stay awake
  • USB debugging
  • Allow mock locations

And I installed the driver from lg website. This is output for adb usb command:

shell@g3:/ $ adb usb
adb usb
error: device not found

Actually I really confused because I think it recognize my device and show g3 name but I don't know why it can't show my device name in attached device!!!

This is windows command prompt screenshot: adb

Without lg driver installed, my device in device manager is like image below and when I try to update the driver using Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver it say: Windows could not find driver software for your device

without lg driver

And when I install lg driver, my device is like image below and again i can't update driver and it say: Windows has determine the driver software for your device is up to date

My device with LG driver installed

Go to Settings-->Storage-->Menu(3 dots in the corner) and tap USB computer connection. When there, make sure MTP and PTP are both unchecked.

I had a hard time getting this to work with my LG G3 on Windows 10. Here's what worked for me:

  1. Uninstalled the LG USB Driver.
  2. Installed the Universal ADB Driver. (Thanks, @Lucia!)
  3. Restarted my computer.
  4. Plugged in my phone, went to device manager, and installed it manually as an "Android Composite ADB Interface".
  5. Switched the USB connection type on my phone from "MTP" to "PTP".
  6. Allowed USB debugging on my phone.

Success!

Note: Some of these steps may not be necessary, for example, just switching to PTP might work just fine, but I'm documenting what eventually did work for me, and I didn't want to take the time to experiment because if it ain't broke, don't fix it. :)

ADB finally haz phone!

I was facing this problem for two days, and I solved installing the USB driver for my phone LG G3 on my Mac Yosemite. I downloaded the file LGMobileMacDriver_v5.0.zip and installed it and than adb devices just worked.

Before anything, just confirm that debug option are enable.

You can try to install the USB driver of your phone, maybe it'll help. Download Location for Driver http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-LGD850

Best,
