I recently got a cheap Android tablet in the mail for my friends birthday (£35~) I was trying to set it all up, remove bloatware etc and install Chrome as the dedicated browser. I was going to basically strip it out, run a similar setup to the Nexus7.. instead of the Android 3.0 Soft buttons.
I got down to business after a good 3hour charge, I plugged it in and all but "Android Device" was installed. I scoured the net for the drivers as I had found a page on here about rooting "Generic android tablets" this appears to only apply to the Allwinner A13 series of tablets (Which this device was supposed to be! Instead the company shipped me a (MIPS) Actions ATM7013 device, No big deal I thought. Wrong.
These drivers appear to be almost impossible to find and any that I install, install as "Samsung Android device".
Even if I find a driver that appears to be working (Some just say "Not the correct driver for this device" or something of this nature) when I connect the device to ADB it just says;
Code:
ADB Devices
List of Devices
This is getting me frustrated as Linux and USBDeview can both see the device as "Actions Android Phone USB device" but Win7 tells me its not there or tells me its a Samsung device..
I actually have no Idea what device it is because its listed in the Device info and Build.Prop as a "generic GS701B" but its all the shown devices seam to differ in their housings.
I thought "Oh it should be a simple case of plug-and-play, it should run a basic android repository version of Android 4.0.3"
Help!
try using pda net+ to install adb drivers for yur device....

I'm sorry if this is a bad post, I'm new to these forums. I used the viperMod tool to install CWM, rebooted, and I now get the 1a brick error described the the developers section. However when I try to fix it using adb (which I have installed correctly), it doesn't work.
To be specific, my computer (running windows) doesn't recognize that I've hooked it up in devices. I do an adb devices and get "List of devices attached" and nothing shows up. Each time I plug in the prime, I get the usual beep that windows recognizes it is attached, however it does 3 real quick beeps and then nothing happens. I think if I could get it hooked up properly the fix described in the developers section would work, but for some reason my computer doesn't like it.
Any suggestions and/or help would be greatly appreciated!
This might sound a little silly but have you installed the drivers?
If you have the drivers installed windows should detect the device correctly and you'll be able to use adb. There is a link to universal drivers in the dev section, or you can get ASUS' from their support website.
I had the drivers installed properly prior to the CWM installation. However, the 3-tone beep does indicate that the drivers are not installed. Unfortunately the prime isn't showing up in device manager at all, so I need to figure out how to re-install the drivers and see what happens from there. Is it possible to install drivers for a device that doesn't show up in device manager?
Ok, so I can't install the drivers for the device. The only thing device that pops up in device manager is "Full Android on Emulator" in "Other devices". I try to install drivers for it, and it does not like either the universal drivers or the drivers from ASUS.
Why would windows not recognize it as an android device like before? I haven't touched the drivers which I had installed and previously worked. I feel like the only thing stopping me from unbricking the device is a connection issue. Any suggestions?
Well, here was my fix in case someone else had this problem:
In device manager under "Other Devices", I selected "Full Android on Emulator". I selected to install drivers, and browse to drivers. Now where the stock ASUS drivers would not work, the universal driver posted in the dev section worked, although it thought the device was some samsung phone.
It turns out that was OK. I followed the unbrick instructions from 1a in the dev section and all is well.
I appreciate the geniuses who post all these fixes and mods. Great work!
The phone and cables are good as I can get HTC Sync to work on my old PC and this one worked just a few weeks ago and I can even get it to work in a VMware session. But for whatever reason the phone just keeps showing up as Unknown and is put under Other devices as “Android phone”. On the other PC and in the VMware it is added as "My HTC" under Android USB Devices in Device Manager.
I’ve tried a bunch of uninstalling and rebooting and so on but something on my new Windows 7 PC is stuck when connecting the phone. It thinks it has no driver for it but it does. If I try and point any of the HTC INF files Windows just says they are not for this device.
Help!
Thanks.

make sure you have the correct drivers for you phone, if you using the latest version download and install an lder version of the drivers then try to connect
That’s the thing though. The drivers were just fine a few weeks ago. The same drivers work on another PC with this phone and they work now on this same PC in a VMware session. There is something stuck in my Windows host install that no longer allows any new devices to be installed. Like one of the fixes I found on line was to remover your USB hubs and let Windows find and install them again but then they could not be installed and were added to the Other devices. I had no mouse or keyboard. I had to run a system restore under the F8 options on boot up. Unfortunately I don’t have a restore point older than the issue. Even if I unplug my working mouse and put it in a different USB port it too is added to Other devices and no longer functions. I just get messages about it being an unknown device and that no drivers can be found.
I have searched (I have 12 tabs open as I type) these forums. I see a few similar cases but I am not finding a solution. I have use CMHENDRA's guides but I am having no luck. (It is my daughters phone so I will give you what information I know) BTW, I contribute in the Note II galleries, I have rooted and flashed HTC One X, Several Nexus 7's, my Note II, Galaxy SII, Galaxy S, HTC Sensations, Nexus 4 and a few older ones. I can currently see all those phones on my laptop. Not the L9.
I believe my son tried to flash CWM for my daughter. She is notoriously rough on phones and he was trying to make sure she was protected. The phone boots into the LG Security Error screen. I can get it to boot into S/W Upgrade mode. I have completed or can complete all the steps to most of the guide. I CANNOT get my Win8.1 laptop or my sons Win7 laptop to recognize the phone to complete any of the guides. B2C, Fastboot, etc. I can see various entries in the Device Manager, I uninstall and reinstall with Driver Signing turned off. I have now reached the point where I have done so many things that I have probably confused myself.
When it did get the security error, the software had been set to USB Debugging and Unknown Sources was allowed. The firmware was 20H. B2C cannot get the phone information (I know it is probably the drivers as is everything else).
Any help, ideas, etc. would be great. I would love to be a hero for my daughter.

I can't get mine to work either. Closest thing I've gotten is using omap4boot-for_optimus-v1.21
its different from some of the others, in that its a blue background and it doesnt actually list the p769. However, after selecting option 5, and following onscreen instructions, I was able to get my front capacitive buttons to light up, but nothing else. I can't enter S/W upgrade mode, I can't get LG recovery tool to recognise my phone, I am absolutely **** out of luck. I dont know if using omap4boot-for_optimus-v1.21 will help or hurt you, but im just explaining my experiences.
Have you installed the omap driver for fastboot?
Thanks for your replies. Windows 8.1 is installing the OMAP driver and when I try to update it, Windows says it has determined that I have the best one installed already or some BS like that. That seems to be the last piece of the puzzle. I am not getting it to use the fastboot commands and when I am in the LG upgrade thing, it cannot connect on the first of the three calls so it says to check the USB cord and connection. ( I have tried 5-6 cords including the OEM cord ).
Thanks again for your help. I will uninstall the OMAP drivers when I get home and see if I can't get the ones I downloaded to install.
I don't have Windows 8.1 so I'm not sure how to address the driver issue. I reer as wel.commend you uninstall the driver, both of them. The one under Android Phone in the device manager and the one called TI Boards in the device manager.
1. Uninstall all OMAP drives (Two of them)
2. Disconnect from the internet (to preventing Windows update from selecting its own driver.
3. Follow steps to fastboot. When connecting your phone have device manager open and right click the device that is flashing on and off (you will see the device manager refreshing and stuffs. It will dissappear after about two seconds but if you get the right click in and the option to install the driver, do it, point to the fastboot driver.
4. Disconnect phone after driver install and pull the battery.
5. Fastboot again, using option 1.
6. Quickly install same driver on the new device in device manager. Be quick.
7. Disconnect, Pull battery
8. Fastboot again
9. Flash ICS U and X
10. Make sure your LG drivers are installed.
11. Reboot PC.
12. Now you should be able to get into SW UPGRADE MODE with the plugging in of the USB
Should not lock up at 15%, make sure you have drivers installed for this.
13. Should work and reboot to home screen automatically.
14. If you really must, fastboot again and install JB U and X

I've heard fastboot (and several other programs) aren't working on Windows 8. You need windows 7

Hi all,
I'm having some trouble with this, so I wanted to consolidate another thread into a main post. Here is my previous work. Any help would be appreciated or let me know if something doesn't make sense.
I'm using an LG Transpyre VS810PP with Android 5.1.1 currently, and a Windows 10 64-bit machine.
Put your phone in PTP mode... just found this. When it was on charge or MTP nothing would connect, but when it was in PTP adb.exe said "error: device offline", but on phone it asked if I wanted to trust the computer!!! Ohhhkay, now we're getting somewhere. Clicked trust and ran adb devices and there it is
See below... I found there are two versions of adb.exe I was using. PTP is not the problem, but adb.exe has to be the right one or it just says offline.
ALSO!! Get the newest driver pack from LG "LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.1.1". The driver packs in the roots that I downloaded aren't new enough. After Windows got the right drivers I was able to see the COM ports properly.
I'm not sure if I have the root working currently. The "Newest root method V03" where you click on root.bat seems to pick the wrong COM port. When I try to do it manually with Send_command.exe using the other COM port it seems like the root process doesn't work properly. It eventually completes, but no info about what it did etc.
Update 2 : working on it again today and couldn't get it to connect. Ignore what I said about it needs to be in PTP mode... it does not appear that way, but if you use a certain version of adb.exe floating around it will not connect. Look for one that is around 800KB... the one I'm using is 815,104 bytes. The other is around 500KB.
It also seems to be necessary to set adb.exe to "Run as Administrator" in compatibility mode (I also set run as XP SP3 for good luck). I have also been using an elevated cmd window, so hopefully this stuff is all legit
Yesterday the device did not actually fully get rooted so I started over. I am going to try running the "root" script line by line rather than the whole thing at once because it gets stuck somewhere and there is no indication of what happened.

Eh, I gave up... after two full days I'm confused about why I'm even doing it... Also, coming from an iPhone, this thing is already so open lol.
I've been trying to get ABD working mainly so can downgrade my fire 5th gen from 5.1.3 to 5.1.2 but at all the tutorials i get stuck at the ABD. i made sure to download the android SDK for abd, i set the paths and open up command prompt ABD is still unknown command. so i figure try ubuntu and ofcourse that crashes saying "upgrade motherboard or use force" and havent seen any new mobo updates.
then ofcourse to top that all off every single tutorial that shows how to get ABD drivers working for the thing stop at the part after i install fire drivers and abd drivers. at a point it is still not done becuase now you have to go into device manager and do option where you can select "android phone" but what if you don't have "android phone" as an option? i thught that the android studio would add that but i guess not.
so what do you do when get at these problems? tutorials i fallowed are:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/general/index-amazon-fire-2015-t3210485
and ugh cant find other right now but as can see nothing on what to do if get at my road blocks, i have also needed ABD for other things and it used to work fine for apk transfers on older kfhd on another PC 7 but drivers for flashing rom abd mode and just NOT installing nomatter what i do tried for whole day and a half trying to figure out this nightmare.
is for only apks?

for a donwgrade there is a forum for kindle fire already why not try it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/help/downgrade-fire-os-5-1-4-to-5-1-2-t3388323
good luck:cyclops:
Note: For transfer apk you can upload to google drive or dropbox from your pc and download a install from the same apk on your device.

uhh that pretty much says i have to load the firmware downgrade with ABD, and ABD is the problem idk how that helps?
Letme ask, did you install jdk and relate tools for adb like the one one will need for and android studio or some other developer tool? If not try to install it over Google you can find several related guidelines.
yea i got the ADB working on linux but not on windows still, also i can;t get the ABD drivers working because there is no "android phone" or "adb device" option in device manager which may have somethign to do with it.
well crap it just started working, but i still can't send adb commands because the drivers are not working due to not being able to continue tutorial over "device manager - select android phone or abd devices" step.
your problem sound like a driver problem but you can check the next forums:
