ATTENTION:

I won't be able to do ANY flashing today.
As of yesterday, my car had broken down. Naturally, I'd just be lazy and ignore it, however, I am a college student and I have to get my car repaired.

For all of today, 03/04/2012, I will not be able to do any flashing whatsoever. I should be able to do it all tomorrow.

Sorry for the inconveniences.

ive got a question...I successfully flashed v20c last night and there are a couple of things I have a question about.

1. When I go into settings/about phone/battery use...the time since unplugged resets. I really like to keep track of battery use, but it doesnt keep this correctly.

2. I made a new att apn, but how do I delete the rogers one? Do I have to use the tool that someone provided, and there isnt a way I can just go in there and delete it myself?

thanks

1. Gingerbread from LG has messed up stats.

2. When you go to the APNs, click the Rogers APN to edit it, press menu and select delete.

I really really appreciate your help, I am new to the thrill and have read through alot of the stuff lately and see how helpful you are.

Most devs are jerks to say the least and I just keep quiet because I respect what they do.

Thanks again man, and I look forward to having this phone with folks like you developing for it.

I was working through the guide for the LG Flashing tool when I got to step 4. In step 4 I'm supposed to install B2CAppSetup.exe but everytime I click on it I get this message :

"To check for software upgrades, you need to connect your PC the internet and press "Coutinue"".

Everytime I click continue the pop up just message just comes back. Does anyone have any advice? I'm not sure what's going wrong here but I can't get past this. Plus after copying/pasting the host files in my system32 folder I'm not sure how I can start over. Any suggests would be GREAT! Thanks.

Had the same issue. Cussed at it for a while. Turned off all things that could possibly limit access to the web. Finally decided to take a look at the host file we loaded. The only thing in the host file is....

127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com

Just so happens. That where B2CAppSetup.exe is trying to look for software. If you pull that from the host file then the setup works just fine because it can find the web server. Why are we blocking the one site that the program needs to find right before we run it?????

If you don't block it, it'll update to the newest version and you won't be able to flash your phone.

My phone already said i had the newest version on that screen. Does that mean i am SOL for doing this procedure?

I suppose my original question would have been better asked as:

If the .exe needs access to the web server to run, why do we have to attempt to run it after effectively disabling it?

If you don't follow the steps EXACTLY, then you'll have problems.
It's saying that you are already up to date because your flash tool updated.

We block the server that way it'll use a version that can actually flash your phone.

Not SOL. Just need to try again.

Been through it about 4 times now. always get the connection error at this point and if i ignore it and move forward originally i was getting an error telling me the B2C tool was not installed. Couldn't get that guy to go away until i removed the line from the host file and allowed the B2C client setup option in the tools menu to connect and get that installed. But even after that point i have an error telling me to check my internet connection and execute program again.

I will uninstall everything then try again start to finish. Just to see. But the first time through i followed the directions exactly, until i began to get the errors.

thanks very much for all your effort. I am doing this so i can flash your ROM. Need a change on my phone. Been running Thriller ROM since it was posted. Need new scenery.

    Thank you The Dark Lestat for this method its working 100%

    I could not complete step 4:
    •In the "Software" folder, install the "B2CAppSetup.exe" file

    i got the same message :

    "To check for software upgrades, you need to connect your PC the internet and press "Coutinue"".

    SO I IGNORE IT and continue to the next steps.
