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

Here's what I had to do:

1. Install the LG Mobile Drivers: http://lg.com/us/lgeai/drivers (latest at the time of writing: here)
2. Disable USB debugging if currently enabled (this was key for me)
3. Enable USB debugging
4. Plug into computer
5. Allow USB debugging when prompted (will show RSA fingerprint, check "always allow").
6. Trust the computer when prompted (allow access)
7. Switch to PTP
8. Install USB driver when prompted
9. Wait for the driver to finish installing on your PC

adb devices should show your phone now. If you don't get some of the prompts above, try unplugging and re-plugging your device. Also try different USB ports on your machine.
