Step 5. Open up Device Manager on your Windows computer.  (Go to Control Panel->Hardware and Sound->Device Manager)
You should see under Ports (COM & LPT), “LGE Mobile USB Serial Port”.  If you don’t see it, you don’t have LG Drivers installed.
Download and install LG Drivers and come back to Step 5.
Double-click on “LGE Mobile USB Serial Port” if you don’t see COM41.
