LM-G710 Connection and multiple errors

[phodina]

Hi,
I've connected the LM-G710 (LG G7 ThinQ) SDM845 based device under the download mode and it somehow connected but there were multiple errors and in the end the feature for full backup did not work and threw more errors.

salt.log

There is no requirement that mentions that the lsb_release should be installed, therefore the command fails.

F_LOG "OS (lsb): $(lsb_release -a)"

I'll prepare PR with check if the tool is installed.

This issue is more for lglaf but the exception should be catched if there's no USB connected.

    raise RuntimeError("USB device not found")
RuntimeError: USB device not found

Will also prepare PR to fix this issue.

@steadfasterX Is this the normal behavior to get this response to any command? I saw this also on other LG phone with Mediatek chipset.

Hello, I am LAF. Nice to meet you.

Seems most of the issues are connected to the lglafng. Should we discuss it here or in the repo for the tool?

Here's the dmesg from the LAF as all other commands see to be disabled.
