G4 Doesn't Connect to ActiveSync - G4

I got my G4 stuck in Boot Loader, so I flashed the Button Rom to it. Now it won't sync with ActiveSync. I get a pop-up "Welcome to the New Found Hardware Wizard" and proceeds to try to install a driver. Then I get a pop-up stating "The file rndismpx.sys" is needed and asks for the location. I have no idea where or what that file is.

Which OS do You have on Your PC?
File should be located in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers If Your system can't find it automatic than something is wrong with it (file missing - maybe on Vi$ta or some "tiny" copy of XP)

the "root of my device" is windows right? haveing trouble installing SSPL

i know this is a noob question...
i have run the sda unlock program and it says it is unlocked.
then i copied the 3 files from the sspl folder to the windows folder on my phone.
then i unplugged phone from active sync.
then i ran the SPL icon that is white with a blue header with 3 little white dots in the right hand corner of the blue box.
my phone immediately says this:
"Can't find 'JumpSpl' (or one of its components). Make sure the path and file name are correct and that all the required libraries are available."
all help is appreciated.
GnatGoSplat explained it to me. the root directory is the upper most directory, like c:/ on your pc. so it was the first folder when i explore my phone in active sync.
thx agian GnatGoSplat
Not quite. Activesync opens up to the "My Documents" folder by default when you explore your device, even though it may say "Mobile Device". You need to go up one level by clicking the PDA icon in that default folder that says "My Windows Mobile-Based Device" to get to the root directory. You should see folders for Databases, Application Data, Windows, etc.

[Q] Can't access sdcard via USB or File Manager

I followed the guide to install ClockworkMod, and then Cyanogen 6.1 and all went fine. Now I'm trying to install Flash and fix the Android Market, but I'm having problems. First, I can't access the gtablet by USB anymore since I installed Cyanogen. There is an icon in the top left showing that USB is connected and an option of "Select to copy files to/from your computer". When I select this, a screen flashes very fast and then disappears. All I can make out is the word 'Connected' followed by some long explanation. I also see the green android guy pictured on that screen.
I've also tried connecting a thumb drive, and can't access it either through File Manager (which came with Cyanogen 6.1). Most directories I can access through File Manager show me "This folder is empty" when I click on them, including sdcard and sd-ext. One final thing I've tried is to simply create a new folder, and I get the message "could not create new folder".
When I tried to download an apk file from the internet, I get a message saying that it needs an external sdcard to download anything. Basically I'm left with a very disabled tablet...even moreso than what came out of the box. I'm a newbie at this, so can anyone please give me some suggestions?

How to Update Successfully with CabSender

Well I have been trying to have WP7 on my HD2 since a month, and although I have been successfull in burning this ROM and update it until 7403, I was not able to move further.
Whatever I tried it resulted in one or the other error.Both Zune and WPUdateCabsender failed.
At last I was able to successfully run the WPUCS as below.
Normally all cab files are zipped/rarred available at xb0xMods site.These files once zipped add some attribute once zipped.
So, here are the steps to successfully use update ca sender.
1. Create folder WP7 in C: drive and copy the files in update cab sender folder here.
2. Unzip/Unrar the cab files to WP7 folder
3. Open Command Prompt (in Admin Privilege).
4. Go to C:\WP7
5. Type attrib -A -S -H -R *.*
6. Stop any Virtual Device drivers like MagicISO, or Virtual PC.
7. Run WPUCS successfully.
This helped me to upgrade from 7392 directly to 7720 in one shot.
Also note that even if the command prompt says error and stops after restarting the device, the device will get into connectorscreen mode.
During this the Device actually updates the device, so do not try to remove battery or reset, wait for an hour until the process is completed.
Note: The only issue is during updating the device gets overheated, and sometimes it gets stuck in Magldr screen, only then restart/reset the device.

Newb Needs Help Connecting to PC

I was unable to find help elsewhere, so I was recommended to come here. No rooting, hacking, reprogramming, or anything else. Just a basic connection problem.
I recently bought a new Solid-State hard drive, and re-installed Windows 7 on it. Everything is great, and it's fully updated.
My problem is that while my LG Optimus G E980 phone will charge via the USB cable, I can't "open" it in My Computer, to transfer pictures, music, etc.
I have tried downloading the driver from LG's Website (LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.1.1), but when I run it, I get the following message:
"The Microsoft MTP driver is not found on your system. Please install Windows Media Format Feature Pack using Download Link for your media device to work correctly."
It then provided me with a link to download this. However, when I do that and run the update, I get told the update is not applicable to my computer.
Whether I try to install this update or not, it doesn't matter, because the driver installation tells me it was installed successfully. However, judging by the icon in my Taskbar with the red/white "X" and the fact that my phone still won't connect, it hasn't.
Yes, my phone is set up to ask me what I want to do when connected to the PC, and Media sync (MTP) is selected. Here's the kicker... remember, I have two hard drives. When I boot using the other hard drive, the phone connects with no problem. Same USB cable and port. Therefore, this is DEFINITELY software-related.
Is there something preventing this driver from installing? Why is the phone not installing the driver itself? Thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks.
Have you Manually installing the driver from Devices manager?
In the Device Manager locate your Android device. Then right-click on it and select "Update Driver Software".
Select "Browse my computer for driver software".
Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer".
Select "Show All Devices".
Press the "Have Disk" button.
Enter the path to the Google USB driver. Normally it is located in the following directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver
Select "Android ADB Interface" from the list of device types.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I searched, and do not have a folder called "Android".
I did, however, find a folder called "LG United Mobile Drivers", however there are about 30 different drivers in there. I picked a few, including "Lgandadb" and "Lgnetandadb", but I get told "Windows encountered a problem", and "This device cannot start (Code 10)"
Anyone?
Ok, I'll try to put it another way. When you first connect an Android phone to a PC, drivers are installed automatically. I'm willing to bet there was an error when I installed them on my new hard drive.
Are the drivers already a part of Windows? If so, perhaps I need to do a Repair of Windows?
Are they located in an Auto-Run file on the phone, and maybe I need to re-run that program?
Perhaps there's something I need to delete or flag so that my phone thinks it's the "first time" again?

Cannot Transfer files to PC (LGE MTP Device): This device cannot start. (Code 10)

Device USB\VID_1004&PID_62CE&MI_00\6&8563cbe&1&0000 requires further installation.
Lg Drivers 4.2.0 Installed. Running Windows 10 x64.
Also the phone doesn't even recognize it's connected to a PC unless USB Debugging is turned on, i.e doesn't give options for transferring files , charging device, Transfer photos etc from the pull down menu.
When in usb debugging mode if i select Transfer Photos the PC recognizes it, but not if I select transfer files.
Any ideas?

Hi
have you checked if the device is recognised in the device manager?
Especially after changing to file transfer?
If there is a error code in the device manager the driver cannot be installed.
First to check is c:\Windows\INF\setupapi.dev.log - here its explained what didnt worked.

Well I did get it working after reinstalling drivers, in MTP mode anyway.
However after installing the lg drivers and booting into download mode g5 shows as "unknown device" in device manager.
Think there's something wrong with phone, when I try installing a custom ROM instead of loading the default language initially it shows the last language I used, screen goes black when I make phone calls (all roms now, even after formatting data (instead of wipe)) and when I backup with TWRP, there's always a problem restoring the image: basically half the apps I had are gone upon first boot After restoring, a lot of apks won't install (says they're corrupt (they're not)), some play store apps won't install, lots of apps crash etc.
Need to restore to stock but since my device isn't even recognised under windows device manager there's no way to use uppercut/LGUP.
