Download the drivers and software in LG website. Install it in your PC.
And turn on usb debugging

check if platform modem is enabled in peripherals manager while phone is pluged
Try deleting drivers of lg and reboot pc and reinstall again and
If you have not installed the lg Driver in past it is must be installed

Just a question, is it possible to update via lg update tool when you have a custom rom installed?

in some rome which is based on lg official version it will update but it will make your phone with lg official rom
in case you are using cm 7 or other which are not lg rom officialy as base it will not update.
but if update in case of custom rom based on lg official rom you will lose root etc.
you will have latest lg official rom
Another question are there a special dricer for OB with cm7
And hiw can i install the adb dricer?

Nope. There isn't. Its the same. Its stilk Android... and there is no need for an adb driver. You can root the easy way with THE BIG NOOB HOW TO! thread in OB General Category.

[Q] No bootloader

Hey guys,
My friend gave me his Ace (S5830) that he had managed to soft brick while trying to root it. He also wanted CM10.1 on it. I found tutorials online, and flashed what claimed to be a CWM recovery .tar and the OPC in Odin, so it now boots to how he had it before. However when I use any tool to boot into recovery, it soft bricks again, with the Samsung logo and web link, so I have to use Odin to fix it again. If I try power+menu on boot it just shows the logo and link, however taking the battery out lets it boot normally. Should I install a stock firmware from sammobile.com, or give up?
P.S. If stock restore, how?

Or which recovery are you using? stock recovery?

You can get Official firmwares from here

He used ROM Manager to boot into recovery, but it didn't have one, so it was basically bricked.

ROM MANAGER = BRICK (in most cases irreparable damage)

Try to boot into download mode and flash a stock via Odin
But it boots OK now, as long as it's not rebooted into recovery by ADB or an app. Will a stock rom via Odin fix the bootloader issue?

Yes, it should fix it so do it and then flash the files that you'll find in the first link I posted "Root+ CWM 5.0.2.6. Fixed"

[Q] Lost recovery mood - Xperai Z

I have Sony Xperia Z and using Mokee customized ROM 4.4.2 for few months time and was running smooth. Recently, I have updated the 12 May release ROM and lost the recover mode. I did download the new release and tried to get into recover mode and no longer working. I tried with Hardware shortcut, DOS program, application and did not work and even I could not backup with ROM manager, so please let me know how to get back to work the recover mode.
Many thanks and greatly appreciated,
Flash a kernel with recovery built in...

Thanks, which kernal is good ? and how can I flash, because I could not get into recover mode, cheers
Just open the zip and extract built in kernel, or use meow kernel for cm based roms.
Flash using fastboot (if you don't know how to use it, Google it.)

Try flashing 4.9.5 first, then flash the update. Worked for me. (AND DONT EDIT YOUR build.prop WITHOUT BACKUP IF YOU WANT TO GET OFFICIAL UPDATE)
Tell me if it works.

Stock apps gone

Hi I installed xposed on stock stable rom and then almost all my stock apps disappeared.like settings,message, music etc.
Now is there a way to get them back instead of flashing stock?
