In cwm adb is running when it is running. If you can't see your phone check drivers etc

i tryed the drivers still nothing my computer is litterly not reading the phone at all
Same issue here. My pocket got warm earlier and i pulled out my phone and it was in CWM. Rebooting only brought it back to CWM. Phone is not recognized by PC (with correct drivers) and I can't get into download mode at all. Was able to flash TWRP through CWM because i had a zip of it on the phone. But even with TWRP, every reboot to... option just takes me back to recovery.
Install pdanet, while phone is connected in recovery mode to pc open pdanet and install lg drivers through it and then open adb in ur pc and type adb devices and if it sees then open sideload in twrp or cwm and push Rom to phone.

Dropped my nexus 4 yesterday and it fell right on the edge of the screen shattering it. First time I've broken a phone, and this one seems like a particularly bad one to have broken - no reasonable price screen replacement with the screen attached to the digitizer.
Anyway the phone boots up and charges fine, but I can't unlock it, which means my computer isn't connecting to it. Is there any way I can save all of my photos and other files?

To be clear, I can't check because I can't get past the lock screen. I also have no way of turning the phone off, I just have to wait until the battery runs out and then I have one chance to turn it on. I'm wondering if there is anything I can do in recovery mode that might help?

Setup adb http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-set-up-android-adb-and-fastboot-on-windows-tutorial/
Plug the phone in while its at the lockscreen, and run "adb devices". If the command returns the serial number of the phone let me know and I'll give you further guidance. If it doesn't it'll take a bit more work but we should still be able to get it done.

Set it up, but no devices listed
It's frustrating because it's so tantalizingly close. I have a pretty good idea that when I send it in to LG they are probably just going to send a different refurb back. I find it hard to believe that they do a 1 to 1 repair job on each phone that comes in.

Alright. This is what you'll need to do: unlock the bootloader, flash cwm recovery, boot into cwm, use adb to copy the contents of your SD card to your PC.
Read this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266654 . only follow the parts to unlock the boot loader and flash clockworkmod custom recovery. Make sure that you flash the recovery right after unlocking (without rebooting in between) otherwise data will get wiped. )
After that boot into your newly flashed recovery and use "adb pull /data/media/" . this should copy everything on the internal sdcard of the phone.
Sent using xda-developers app
Search for how to unlock the bootloader without wiping all your data. Would be moot otherwise...
Of course if all that's been done in the past and you already have cwm/twrp, just boot to that and you'll be able to adb in.
Also, you can hold onto the power button for 10s to force it to power down.
EDIT: restarted and tried again, making some progress now.

Again, that's why we go into cwm/twrp. Insecure debugging is enabled there.
Awesome, it appears to be copying everything over now!
Can't thank you enough! Just saved a years worth of pictures and videos, that pretty much chronicle the start of my current relationship up to the present.
Of course right now it is just pulling all of the EA real racing data, but I assume it will eventually get to the pictures, haha.

Apologies, i was a bit rushed. So i'm trying to get all my pics/data off my phone as my screen is smashed and i had a pattern lock on. My phone did not have usb debugging enabled. So i unlocked the bootloader, didn't do a reboot, flashed a custom recovery and then entered the recovery. However, my device isn't recognised in windows once i enter recovery and as such when i run "adb devices" no device is listed.
In the original instructions, it says:
After that boot into your newly flashed recovery and use "adb pull /data/media/" . this should copy everything on the internal sdcard of the phone
So how come once I load my recovery, when in cmd prompt, "adb pull /data/media" doesn't seem to work?
I'll be honest, i'm a little lost at this point and just really don't want to lose all my pics and thought i could get them this way before sending my phone for repair/replacement (it is insured)

Before you can run the adb pull command, you'll need to get your phone recognized by "adb devices". Try installing Koush's adb driver.
Hi,

In download mode, nothing happens, nothing in device manager, and same when I'm stuck on the LG splash screen. When I go into CWM, it then recogizes my phone, but the methods of restoring to stock won't work with CWM running in the background. CWM also won't let me mount the usb...
The methods return the same error: Phone not detected, please plug the USB cable and retry.
Ubuntu won't recognize the phone in all three modes, and another computer does the same thing. (Both Windows 8)

-KDZ
-LGMobile support tool

Yes, it does work now. I was able to restore to stock by adb pushing phillz recovery, and then flashing that, then adb pushing the stock ROM. Everything works as it should, now.

Does it recognize your phone when it's in the custom recovery? That was the only way I could do it on my phone.

Hi, sorry to post in this 1 year old post buy mt G2 is totally dead, I can sometimes get LG Logo and the main problem is i cannot get it into QHS-USB mode or anything.
Is there any key combinaison to do that ?
Hello Everyone,
I've been looking around and can't seem to find any guide I can get to work.
A couple months ago, I rooted my LG G2 and installed Cyanogen mod successfully. After a couple days, for some reason I restored to a backup I made back before I installed Cyan, so it was just on the Stock OS. A couple days later my phone tried to update itself and it bricked it. I was an idiot and wiped everything for some reason so theres nothing on there but the LG logo and then it goes to TWRP.
So now I'm not quite sure what to do. I can adb push and sideload just fine, but I've tried pushing a zip with the stock OS and installing it but everytime it just says it failed. Ive also pushed cyan on again and it says successfully installed and then just goes back to TWRP again. Can anyone help me with what to do from here? Do I need a certain tool to re install the OS? Will pushing it and then installing it with TWRP not work?
thanks!

Or do it manually

That's ok.
Open cmd line where your adb is. Put some rom inside.
Let's say the rom is : mycoolrom.zip
adb push mycoolrom.zip /sdcard/mycoolrom.zip
then flash it.

You didn't mention download mode.
Try powering off the device, hold volume up and connect to pc ?
Is the download mode at least working ?

Hello everyone,
So ive been lurking on these forums for some time now looking for a solution for the mess I just created, but its been so long now that I want to ask if anyone can help me out now.
The situation is I bought a LG G2 AT&T, and then proceeded to root, recovery and everything was flawless, but I tried to install another ROM and this is went everything went to hell (Im from Mexico). It went all black and with the "Fastboot mode activated" and stuff so I went an put it on download mode and tried by all possible ways, the LG Flash Tool and the LG Flash tool 2014, both ways do not seem to bring back my phone to life.
Whenever I try to install it like this, I get this error with the D800AT FW. I get this error.
And whenever I try to install with D802 FW. I get this one as well.
When I try with the Lg Flash Tool 2014 method. I cant get it to 100%, I always get stuck on 99% And then it crashes.
I am really running out of options here, the phone is recognized by the PC, but I cant get to install a normal working stock ROM.
Any pointers, or help, would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
EDIT:
Apparently, I cant post images just yet to show you the exact error. But for the first 2 errors, I get something like this.
"DOWNLOAD FAIL! Check phone or DLL" both for D800 and D802
If you have twrp as your recovery you can adb sideload a rom onto your device from your computer. Google how to sideload adb with trwp installed and follow the instructions. If your phone is recognized it should be fine.

So the three finger method only gets you the android with the belly up? Is your phone still recognized? I'm on Verizon but i think with other phones it's the same process. If you have no recovery you need to tot back to stock. I've only done it once but it did work. This is what i used to fix my problem when adb didn't work.

You need flash required partitions (like aboot and laf) to boot phone to download mod. Then, you can install stock ROM from LG Mobile Support Tool.
