Just rooted my phone with the toolkit. I'm running an AT&T galaxy s3 for reference.
Everything works great except that when I boot into recovery, my computer can't recognize the phone. Gives me the error of "device not found" I've reinstalled the drivers several times/restarted already. Any suggestions? I'm a bit stuck.
Which recovery version are you running? The first few versions didnt support adb I believe. Im on v4 and have done adb and shell through recovery.
Just whatever came with the toolkit v1.0, which is v4 I believe.
Is it worth trying this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379875

If you Boot into download mode do the drivers get installed?

just tried that and it installed some drivers, but still having the same problem with recovery
--edit--
just installed the naked adb drivers and it seems to be working now. Sort of hacky but oh well, as long as it works

Waiting for devices means it isn't seeing the phone. Did you install the drivers from Motorola properly?

Unplug phone from computer, install drivers on PC from link above, plug phone back in, and wait until Windows has finished updating the drivers.
Also, make sure you are using a USB port on the back of your PC, as this can make a difference.

Thanks for the help. Although that wasn't the problem.

My best suggestion is to follow all of the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423 It sounds like you probably have the first part done, so go with the "Proper Recovery" section once you're sure you have the prerequisites.

Yeah sorry my bad I was just frantic, i got it all figured out now.
I recently acquired an optimus g and the guy that owned it before said he tried flashing a KitKat ROM and it soft bricked. I can't get the computer to recognize the phone and I got the most recent drivers for it. I was gonna use lgnpst to fix it but I can't. Does anybody have any ideas on how I can fix it?

Computer doesn't recognize it at all, or just lgnpst? Lgnpst doesn't work with USB 3.0 if that helps explain it.

Does it show up in windows device manager? Also if it was ever converted it might need nexus 4 drivers.

Check device manager too. If it shows as QSUSB Dload it is a hard brick that can't be fixed with lgnpst.
What is it doing exactly, have you tried getting to recovery with button combo?

Does it boot into the ROM? Is it softbricked now? You may just need a newer recovery.

I wonder if you could get adb to recognize phone. If so you could fastboot flash a different recovery, or adb push a zip to internal storage.
Does it boot to the splash screen? If so have you tried a factory reset using button combo?

For factory reset it is from phone powered off hold volume down and power until menu comes up.

SOLVED- SEE POST #6
Please forgive me if this has been answered- but I have searched through all the posts here on the LG G3 and ADB and can not find a solution.
I have got this far following the guide on ADB Mac- but as you can see from the pic is says that my phone is offline. Changed the MTP to Ethernet to modem- and nada. Is this a facepalm and I am missing something here? many thanks in advance.

Not even close.
Using ADB on my Mac, is a non issue.
OP make sure you are running the latest version of ADB.
A security feature was added to Android and it will ask you if you want to have that computer authenticated or some such.
If your phone didn't ask you probably have an old version of ADB.

Humm. Using a Mac with 10.10 Yosemite, I have a D850 on LP 5.01 and have followed the lead in the link given above, and used the dab and fast boot file in the zip just above. My Oneplus's in the house (3), work great. My G3, with new drivers, seen but "offline". It does have USB debugging selected. I have tried toggling that, using the MTP or PTP choices, and both get the same result. I have installed the newest android SDK as well.
frustrating. Any thought would be appreciated.
Solved the issue by uploading another newest ADB file set. G3 is not ween, however, when I run the command "su
restorecon -FR /data/media/0/", adb tells me "command not found"
I do have the newest Android SDK 23.02 tools installed.
I am trying to flash a custom ROM on my OPX because the MM builds of OOS have been giving me strange bugs which apparently no one else seems to be experiencing.
So when trying to unlock my bootloader, when I enter the "Fastboot Devices" command, nothing happens. My device isn't showing up no matter what.
I have all the prerequisite drivers installed so I don't know what is causing this.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Assuming your putting the phone in bootloader mode what version of windows?
Using Windows 10 and yes, when I boot into bootloader mode still there is no device listed under fastboot devices command.

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with Windows 10. And I read somewhere a fix just can't remember. Something to do with rolling back the driver or uninstalling. I believe its written in the hardbrick guide take a look there.
Install USB drivers and 15 second ADB and fastboot drivers then you are good to go. I am also using windows 10 without any problem.adb and fastboot working nicely..even in Linux adb and fastboot working perfectly.

Don't install Win7 just for that. Find someone who have one.
Or try with a USB booting Linux Distro it will be quicker and easier.

I tried Ubuntu it doesn't install fastboot drivers on live boot so can't use fastboot or adb commands
