Im struggling with adb and LG G6 on OSX.
Tried installing LG Mobile drivers.
Tried MPT, PTP and other modes with no luck
Tried enabling USB thetering
Nothing seems to work, anyone with the same problem??
Thanks!
Failed ADB connections usually have one root cause: bad Android USB drivers that load in place of the right ones. Windows doesn't make it easy to remove the wrong drivers, unfortunately. But before attempting to troubleshoot an ADB connection, first enable USB debugging on your phone if it's not on already.
It might be that you have not enabled USB debugging on your device. Or, it might be that you have not installed the proper ADB drivers on your computer. In a nutshell, this error is the sign that ADB does not recognize your phone is connected to your computer.
Enable adb debugging on your device To make it visible, go to Settings > About phone and tap Build number seven times. Return to the previous screen to find Developer options at the bottom. On some devices, the Developer options screen might be located or named differently. You can now connect your device with USB.
As I was looking for an answer, I somehow managed to make it work:
Easier alternate would be as soon as you connect the device via USB, just select MIDI device. This should initiate the installation of the device.
Afterwards, it should be visible in your USB device list in Android Studio.
You need to enable USB Debugging in your LG G6 so adb detects your connected device.
(Just in case you don't know)
To enable USB debugging you need to enable Developer Options in your phone first. To do this:
Go to Settings > About phone > Software info > and then tap the build number about 7 times.
I know that this might sound so obvious but since you did not mention that you have USB Debugging on, I thought that you might have forgotten this step prior to connecting with adb.
Hope this helps.
In order to make it work you must verify also the USB debugging is enabled. In my case it was disabled and grayed out.
I found out here I need to connect the USB cable only after taping on
"Developer options" -> "Debugging" -> USB Debug -> ON.
Hope this can help.
