LG G4 not recognised by Android Studio

Question

I just got the LG G4 phone, turned on developer options mode, tried running an app from Android Studio but it can\'t recognise my phone. I even tried switching from MTP to PTP b

Answer 1

None of the answers here worked for me until I turned on USB debugging mode in Developer Options.

For completeness, the steps are:

1. Go to Settings > About phone > Software info
2. Tap "Build number" 7 times until it says that you're a developer
3. Go back to Settings, and tap on the new "Developer options" item (second last in the menu)
4. Enable "USB debugging"
5. Plug in your phone
6. Change from MTP to PTP mode
7. Allow the computer to access your phone (there should be two messages - one of them should be for the RSA key fingerprint)

And that should do it. Run adb devices and you should see the phone.
