Root Unable to mount Data from TWRP

Kuiper

Newbie
I tried installing Cyanogen mod, and now I can't get access to the data partition from TWRP.

I really don't like having a brick, and I also don't have the ADB drivers for this phone. The one's on LG's support site windows wont recognize.

USB within recovery uses the same ID (vendor=18d1, product=d001) Google uses for its recovery instead of LG's ID. This is not a problem for developers because Linux has no problem accessing the device. For future reference, if you need to use ADB in recovery on Windows, you can try the universal ADB driver by Koush.

Oh, so I can ADB into it through linux without drivers? If so, that could be super useful, I always keep a linux VM around.
 
Well, you still need to install ADB. For example, in Ubuntu and probably other Debian based distros, you'd run:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
to install both adb and fastboot, since the packages are already in the official repositories.

Noice, that helps a lot, thank you.
