I have used GapDebug for years with my Samsung tablet but thought i would try with my new LG G6 as it is much faster than the tablet.

When i first plug in the phone to USB i get Installing DevDisk Image but it partially loads and then stalls. I also tried loading an app apk and it does the same thing: http://take.ms/aK6Vg

At first i thought it was due to missing usb driver for G6 but i just installed LG’s Sync s/w and it connects and is able to backup my phone.

Hi ptalindstrom,

To help us to localize the problem, could you please try to upload the same APK you’re trying to install through plain ADB command? I mean, I’d like to know if ‘adb install path_to_you_apk’ works good with the same phone.

sorry, not sure what ADB is. I have 2 methods to upload APK:

1. using GapDebug
2. uploading from Dropbox – i can load from dropbox and the app works fine; but there is no debug capability if done this way.

[ptalindstrom]

ok, i found ADB.. and now get this:

adb server version (31) doesn’t match this client (36); killing…

[support-vadim]

Could you please:

1. Kill adb process and GapDebug too
2. Run adb install <apk_path>
It should either install APK correctly or give us the same error message you’re getting from GapDebug. This should narrow the problem’s scope for us.

i found a post to do this:
adb kill-server
adb start-server

i was then able to use adb to install. This app now shows in GapDebug when i run the app.. but still i cannot debug.

Next i tried to installing app from gapdebug; but still stalls during load.

will try killing processes and repeating.

killed everything and attempted to reload using ADB.. same as i got above.. it loads fine from adb… but same as before: if i run GD and then connect device.. it stalls loading DevDisk

[support-vadim]

If you run adb to install APK and only after that run GapDebug – does it fix the problem?

[ptalindstrom]

ah… all the times above when i said i could not debug – i was wrong. i do have debug tools but they were minimized. i see now that it works. so i can debug; i just can’t use GD to load apk… which is ok

thank you for your help with this.
