Help - No IMEI - Can't upgrade/downgrade Firmware

Hello,

Looking for a bit of help here.

I have just recently purchased a mobile phone off Ebay where the IMEI is missing.

I have read the following article thinking that it would be a simple fix, only to find that I seem to be unable to connect to the phone when using Tutty.

I have checked the IMEI and found that it is authorised on the LG site

<response req_cmd="auth_model_check" status="OK">
<auth_model_check><result>OK</result>
<esn>***************</esn>
<model>LGP880</model>

<cs_em_uri>N</cs_em_uri>
<chip_type>EI</chip_type>
<prod_type>GSM</prod_type>
</auth_model_check>
</response>

I have downloaded the subsequent KDZ file from the link of the LG website, however this leads to my second problem.

When attempting to upgrade the firmware of my phone i receive failure to upload the software, within the LGFlashTool, UpTestEx_mod2_marwin and KDZ_FW_UPD.

With FLFlashTool I have followed the below instructions

I am successful in getting a connection that links on COM port 1, I remove the usb cable when the program says ready and plug back in. The program begins, it skips to 7% then to 10% after 17 seconds I receive an error message Failed Upload, Failure : 207.

Using KDZ or UpTest I get the following:

09:07:52 : 3GQCT : wParam = 2005, lParam = 10
09:07:52 : 3GQCT : wParam = 2010, lParam = 207

I really have no idea what the meaning is behind the different states wparam and lparam, no matter how long I leave the phone it just sits there.

The other possibility is it could be a dev phone, but there is no 'not for sale' sign on the phone and the software version in settings is V10h, unless the last person that had it already upgraded and mucked it up.

I am at a loss and looking for some help,

Any will be greatly appreciated

If you require further information please ask,

Thank you in advance,

Extra info

Just for some extra information, I thought it may be the usb connection, so i bought a new usb PCB board for the phone but to no avail, what i have written above is what is happening with the new USB connection.

I am finding a strange thing happen when I attempt to connect the phone on USB, I get the option of using Media Sync or LG software. Under both when i try to access the internal storage of the phone from My Computer the window closes in Windows, the phone also seems to have a fit, the connection to the pc starts then stops multiple times before it connects again.

Maybe it is a dodgy USB connection that I bought, I can try the original again, or maybe it is something else in the phone.

Think I may have to give up with this one.

Tried something

Tried the old USB PCB and RIBBON, still receive the same error message.

So it may not be the USB connection.

I cannot see any damaged pins on the connector to the main board.

I found out what WParam and LParam are but I do not know what the numbers refer to.

Whether the numbers are generic to Windows or specific to the LG software and/or hardware

Tried LG

You can guess the response I received from LG.

No warranty, no help.

Which is fair enough, all I really want is an understanding of what the codes mean.

Nevermind.
