  1. Hello,

    I’m having the exact same problem. I’ve already installed the usb drivers, and made sure my D855 is in USB debugging mode. Still, model is still Unknown.

    Any ideas?

    • Are you using a custom ROM or stock ROM?
      If you’re on a Custom ROM, try this, at your own risk. Edit build.prop to change ro.lge.swversion: and ro.lgeswversion short to the correct model and rom addition so lgup can identify the phone.
