Can't get this to work and its mildly annoying. I can adb sideload ROMS and whatnot but need to boot into windows to get any real file transfers done.
Strange this is the only phone (tried lg g2, and gal nex) that I have an issue with.
in b4 no replies.
I sympathize with you. Specific to your question I have no answer. Go to the Android website and it talks about Windows and Mac. No Linux.
BUT, I use wifi file transfer pro.... From play store. And also AirDroid. Gets it done through wifi on common network. And it's very fast for me. Hope that helps.

Ugh... I'll see if I can hack it together.
I was hoping a developer would stop by to enlighten me.
I don't have WiFi for the desktop it's always plugged in.

no dev here but i dual boot linux and win7 and i would recommend Google android MTP on linux and read and see what everyone says. i will be booting back into linux tomorrow and i will see what you need to do my self, but right now i have some clients idevices to work on and iTunes and most of my modding software is windows only
Doesn't have to be actually through wireless wifi to work. One of my computers is directly connected to the router. But if no router is used at all then it would not be an option for you

I just got a Moto X and I'm also running Ubuntu 13.10 on a desktop. When I get home this evening I will test this out and see if I can get it to work in any way. I haven't been on Ubuntu recently since I've been doing the rooting process through Windows.
just installed ubuntu gnome's new lts and its working out of the box

I checked out some threads but i wasn't able to find anything. I had a windows machine and was wire tethering just fine with my rooted htc hero but now i have a mac and i am wondering if there is anyway to wire tether to my mac as well? I have wireless tether for root users on my phone version 1.60 i could just use that but when i enable wi-fi encryption it still is an unsecured wireless network when i try and connect to it, i am not sure what to do? Any help would be great.
I know PDA net free works good on macs my brother has been using it on his older MacBook for a couple of months now just fine

Wifi tethering. If you need to charge too, you can use USB for that and still use wifi for the data.
My desktop doesn't have wireless. So I need to use usb tethering

Well... a driver is a peice of software that lets any device and computer communicate... im gonna go out on a limb and say that you proabably need drivers to tether.

Ya you do cuase I tried to tether to a computer and on xp I had to get drivers to tether.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
You have to have a rom that has tethering enabled. On fusion I went to wireless network. There is a selection for Tethering select that and you should see a check box. You need to check that.
As long as you have the usb drivers installed for the captivate windows will see the phone as a network connection in the network connections section of control panel. Select the android connection and you should be on the internet.
BTW this is all on Windows 7 64bit pro. I would hazard a guess that all flavors of Win 7 will be the same and Vista would be similar. As for XP not sure its pretty old.
Thanks for the help everyone, I actually got it working with the Captivate drivers yesterday thanks to studacris' link. It's really irritating trying to find stuff like that from mobile haha. Thanks for the help though
(Not to hijack, but just because it relates to drivers and tethering.) A few months ago, I was able to tether to a wifi router over a usb cable through the captivate using a right-out-of-the-gate ubuntu 10.10 install (diagram that sentence - I dare you). In other words, ubuntu pc-usb-captivate tethering-wifi.
So if you have an ubuntu install with no wifi access, the captivate should be able to do it for you. I realize this isn't the op's situation, but it might be a good thing for someone to keep in kind if they don't have a wireless card yet.
drivers
I just got a new Win7 64bit laptop, had to install Both the Samsung USB Drivers, AND Kies Mini to get tethering to work.
Just the Samsung USB drivers were not enough.
What i did i went to walmart and bought bluetooth chip for 20$ installed the solfware and simply paired them it work fine it was slightly slow for you tube but none the less it was like carring a modum in my pocket

Hi there. I am trying to install LG's On Screen Phone tool (Download here), and connect it to my Verizon LG G2 (VS980). I first saw this in DeamonFish's root guide tutorial here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Y45SXPRb31o
It's what he used to show the phone screen on his PC. Basically a VNC setup made by LG.
In order for that software to connect you have to switch into "PC Software" mode under USB connection Mode. Check my attachment for what that looks like.
However, it seems Verizon doesn't have this option!
Can anyone confirm? and if so is this something that could possibly be remedied via a rom?
It would seem that internet connection Ethernet would allow you to vnc over network. Bit maybe not.

Bummer, I just saw this feature now & am realizing its not going to work for Verizon...
I also would love to see this option with the VS980! I could understand that in stock ROM's that Verizon would block this or something but this is XDA we have OPTIONS! Currently running Cloudyflex 2.0 and loving it and would really like to see this feature ported over to these semi-custom LG ROM's.

I need to root "using Mac OS" 10.5.8 (using terminal or?) for AT&T Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900A. Please continue developing the rooting for this device. With all due appreciation and respect for de la vega and XDA devel., Chainfire et. al. I really need a simple rooting procedure for the Mac that will not delete or change any data, settings, or apps. on the phone. (like the T-mobile rooting).
Last years' ATT Note ''2" rooting by galaxynote2.com with others was simply brilliant!! Please don't stop refining and provide help with the Mac OS for ATT Note 3 as soon as you can. I have great admiration for all the folks who create these work throughs. They make life so much more productive and give hope to the masses. Thanks for the fantastic jobs and I hope to see a clean and simple procedure for the N900A with Mac any day now! I'll keep looking back every day. Much much obliged.
as far as I can tell heimdall doesn't support the note 3 yet.
I will use parallels and or virtual box unless that's been used with no success?

I don't think hiemdall has a note 3 update also yet. With the note "2" ATT rooting, the entire process files only took less than 50mb of data (using a Mac)! de la vega for some reason not only erases everything but is 2.2GB in size. Appreciate the start, but there must be a better and more efficient way. Hope the wizards write a more optimal program soon. I have to wait. It's hard!
I don't care how much bandwidth I consume root makes me a very happy camper even if I'm stuck mac os till tax time. Caught a great deal on Craigslist an Apple novelty store was going out of business selling G5 macs for 100 bucks fully loaded couldn't pass it up. But I now realize how it is a pain in the arse to do things on these things... thanks for root package again DG is always their to impress me

I've not had success flashing with Parallels in the past.
Rooting might be a different story; although, if you get to a step that involves rebooting your device - tread lightly. Mac OS will initialize the device before Parallels.
I will confirm that I made a soft brick using VMFusion and Windows XP, ended up using my Windows 8 machine worked fine then.
Rooted fine on Mac using parallels 9 with Windows 7. Install Samsung USB drivers for Windows and you are set.

Just a guess on my part but virtual machines have traditionally had trouble with serial devices, even enterprise level VMs have this not the freebie desktop ones.
That said I'd recommend giving up 20GB of your drive by making a bootcamp partition and running Windows natively.

I wish I could help you mate, but I can't find anything. I guess I'll just see where the update is at tomorrow.
I have a fresh install of windows 8, no drivers. Attached the phone, drivers updated automatically and everything worked. Maybe if you delete all the old LG drivers and start again, then put in internet/Ethernet mode, see if that works. i couldn't get the OTA to work, got error messages, but the upgrade assistant did.

Hello evryone. I had the same problem. I went on the computer side into Device manager and clicked portable devices while phone was connected. Clicked on my phone (samsung sm n910v) and then on the second tab that say Driver and 5 tabs show up, clicked on ROLL BACK DRIVER and that did it for me. Thank you everyone for other helpfull info i have gotten from this website
I purchased an LG G2 on ebay to get me through until my iPhone 7 ships, had the same problem. I don't know if the USB debugging step is necessary, but here's what I did to get the app to recognize the phone:
1. Enable Developer Features (Settings > About Phone > Software Information > Tap Build Number like 5 times or something (it tells you how many after several taps) to enable developer features
2. Enable USB debugging (Settings > Developer options > USB debugging) - note that you cannot enable while the phone is connected to PC via USB. So unplug first then enable.
3. Start Software Upgrade Assistant software on PC.
4. Plug phone into PC and choose install/media sync mode.
5. Then go to phone and change the connection mode to internet > ethernet.
6. Update software started reading my phone status.
Unfortunately my device is 4.2.2 and software version "VS98008U" and says that it's up to date. I can't find any information about this software version anywhere, so I'm not sure what I got sold on ebay but it aint friendly. And all I want to do is upgrade to current Android version so I can install the latest ESPN Fantasy Sports app until my iPhone comes
