This one was taken from a tutorial on how to make an Iphone homepage for the LG Dare… Unlike the Dare though the LG Tritan supports reading the homepage from a file instead of hosting it somewhere…. LG-Tritan info

Start off Here
http://dare.jrsmith.net/generator/
To design your homepage….

Next after downloading the homepage you designed unzip it and open the index.html file in your favorite text editor. Double check all your urls for the links….

(I used the default image link for craigslist and it defaulted to mobile.craigslist.org
which is not my city of choice so I had to edit it ex. yourcity.craigslist.org)

Now save your modified index.html and change the name to homepage.html…

Next using bitpim or LG EFS Tool you need to browse the filesystem of your LG Tritan

Navigate to
/brew/mod/obigo/external

Copy all images and homepage.html from your LG Tritan to a backup folder on your pc

Now save your downloaded custom homepage keeping all folders to your LG Tritan

You should now have the following items in your /brew/mod/obigo/external dir on your LG Tritan

css (folder)
images (folder)
js (folder)
homepage.html (file)

After successfully writing to your LG Tritan close bitpim or LG EFS Tool
and reboot your LG Tritan open web and have fun…. LG Phone Problem and Solution

So you went out and bought what you thought was an awesome phone, only to discover that you can’t seem to find a way to personalize your ringtones without buying them from Alltel. Sound familiar? Are you annoyed yet? I was FOR SURE! BUT where there is a will there is a way. After scouring the internet for hours and hours I could not for the life of me find one good “how to” on this subject. Bits and pieced and many many sites later (not to mention a lot of trial and error) I came to a final solution that worked. I know many ppl out there are just as frustrated as I was so I decided to make a detailed step by step guide to help the rest of you along. Please understand that modding your phone can be a bit tricky and I take no responsibility if you decide to follow my instructions..do so at your own risk. Also – Thanks to the many other people that had already figured some of this info out (I don’t take credit for it, I’m merely organizing it and updating it for what worked for me)

First the bad news (more you say?) you WILL need a micro sd card! My pc did not even show anything was plugged in until I installed mine. After calling LG I was told there can be no transfer of info without it. Good news is they start at under 10 bucks for a 2gig chip at Wal-Mart. You can install up to a 16 gig chip.

Once this is installed (just insert). You will have to download a few files before you begin.
Installing Drivers
1)   Go to http://www.colordrives.net/LG7000%20Driver.zip and download this driver. It is not necessary to install the whole thing.
2)   Open with winrar or winzip.
3)   Drag the folder that matches your operating system to your desk top.
4)   Plug your data cable into your phone and then into the usb port on your computer.
5)   Choose “USB Mass Storage”
        This will set up your SD Card for use with your phone.
        When finished touch exit on your phone.
6)   Disconnect USB cable from PC and then reconnect.
7)   On your phone choose the option “USB Modem”
A window should come up asking you for a driver. (I assume here that you know  how to install a driver onto your pc *crosses fingers*)
8)    Point it to the folder containing the drivers that you placed on your desktop.
9)    Do this several times until it tells you that your device has been installed and is working properly. Double check that everything is working properly by going into your system properties and making sure that nothing has an ! next to it.
Installing Bitpim
Next you will need a small program called Bitpim
1)   Go here to download. http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitpim/files/bitpim-tests/1.0.7.20090805/bitpim-1.0.7.20090805-setup.exe/download
2)   Install the program.
3)   Start Bitpim
A window should come up that says “Found other CDMA phone” Make note of the COM# (depending on your pc set up this can vary)
4)   Click Edit on the top tool bar
5)   Click Settings
6)   Click the Phone Wizard button
7)   Choose Alltel – LG – VX9700 (Dare) then Next
8)   Click the COM# that it told you in step #3 above
9)   Click the Detect Phone button (it will probably fail ..but that is ok)
10)   Click Finish
   This will take you back to the main screen of BitPim
11)   Click View on the top tool bar, then click View File System
12)   You will notice that this puts a File System Icon on the left column at the bottom
13)   Click the File System Icon
14)   In the second column over you will see a file with a + next to it, Click the + (this expands the folder) It SHOULD say retrieving and then a large list of folders will appear. This is the contents of your phone. Tamper with this at your own risk.
15)   Click on the folder named dload
16)   Right click “mysound.dat”
17)   Choose to save this file to your desktop
18)   Then delete the file from the dload folder in Bitpim
19)   Expand Brew
20)   Expand Media
21)   Expand lk
22)   Click on the ms folder
23)   In the right most column you will see all of your ringtones that are on your phone.
24)   Drag any mp3 ringtone that you have to this list and Drop (you should see it appear in the list) *note midis and wavs may work .. Im not sure because I haven’t tested this
25)   Exit Bitpim
26)   Unplug your phone
27)   POWER DOWN your phone and then POWER BACK UP.
28)   Your custom ringtones should now be listed with the rest of the ringtones on your phone.

I know this seems like a lot and it kinda is the first time through (since you have to install the drivers and all). Good thing is BitPim remembers your phone and the next time all you have to do is start it up with your phone attached to your PC and begin at step #13.
Also it is very easy to make your own ringtones from any mp3 that you have. I recommend using an audio editor (I like audio edit deluxe). You can cut just the part of the song you want for your ringtone (I prefer to keep mine under 15 seconds but hey that is up to you) Good Luck!!

After completing this process the next time you do it begin at step #13, this is correct HOWEVER you do NOT need to preform steps #15-#18 again (just skip directly to step #19).

First of all, you should have the parafiltable1.fil file "hacked"

• Connect to your LG VX5500 and browse the filesystem via BitPim
• Download the ows/paramfiltable1.fil file to your computer.
• Using a HEX editor such as XVI32, open the paramfiltable1.fil file.
• Change the third byte in the file from "00" to "20". Go to "Edit", then "Overwrite string", then select "Hex string" and type 20 in the bottom field. See a picture of modified paramtable here:
• Save the file, and overwrite it on your phone.
• Reboot your phone now.

You can now proceed to editing the WAP settings.

• Press ##77647265500 and SEND (##PROGRAM + model number)
• Enter code 000000 (If it is a prepaid LG VX5500, it is likely that the spc of 000000 that this guide uses will not work. Prepaid versions of this phone usually have a unique non-zero spc.)
• Now go to WAP Settings. You will be changing the following:
• Proxy address setting:
  • Primary address: ppcgw1.vzwreseller.com
  • Secondary address: ppcgw2.vzwreseller.com.
• Proxy port setting:
  • Primary port and secondary port: 8080
  • Primary LXL port and secondary LXL port: 443.
• User name: original from the phone, do not change it! This a phone’s MIN number
• User password: vzw
• Homepage: http://homepage

LG enV3 Tips – Editing wap Settings Menu:

What you need? BitPim does this. The very last thing in the /browser/setting/fileDB is "srvMenuAccessable" (not sure why they spell accessible wrong) and then the value, which is a 0. Just change that 0 to a 1 and you are able to then edit the WAP Settings via the Service Menu. LG Phone Problem and Solution

Use BitPim to copy the /browser/setting/fileDB back to the PC.. Use a hex editor and change that 0 to a 1… use Bitpim to overwrite the /browser/setting/fileDB with your edited one. After restarting your phone, access the Service Menu and go -> Wap Setting… and adjust the values as needed…

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE, READ BEFORE CONTINUING:

The following tutorial works with Windows XP but I believe that it can be adapted to work on Windows Vista. I however have only ever performed this under the ‘Windows XP Home’ Operating System. Please do not post questions about how to do this on Vista as I do no know how to. If you are going to try it under Windows Vista recognize that this is at your own risk, and I am not liable for if you encounter problems with your computer or phone from doing so. LG Phone Problem and Solution

Okay, now that I hope that is cleared up, lets begin the process:

Step 1) Download the zipped file that has been provided in the first post, as well as WinImage (Winimage: http://www.winimage.com/download.htm)

Step 2) Unzip the contents of the ‘LG KP500 Utils + LG KP500.flb’ to your DESKTOP (This makes things alot easier in the next few steps) – Ensure that all .DLL and other files are kept (they are safe but are needed for LG Utils to function)

Step 3) Install Winimage onto your computer

Step 4) On your desktop you should have the KP500.flb file. Make sure to pay attention with this step: Transfer the KP500.flb file to your C:/ drive (Open My Computer > C:/ > Drag & Drop or Copy the file and paste it in, whichever your prefer) DO NOT PUT IT INTO A FOLDER SUCH AS PROGRAM FILES, IT SHOULD SIMPLY SIT ON THE C:/ DRIVE FILE LIST!

Leave all of your other .DLL and .EXE files on the DESKTOP.

Okay, now we have the necessary software and preparation to start the transfer and alteration of certain Cookie compatible themes  LG-Cookie info

Step 5: You now need to TURN OFF your LG Cookie and also REMOVE THE BATTERY – I cannot stress how important this is. If you do not turn the phone off or remove your battery then you could ‘brick’ your phone rendering it useless. If you do brick the phone then you will have to ‘flash’ it, which is a long and quite difficult process.

Step 6: Connect your LG Cookie to a USB connection of your computer. Now this is not as straight forward as it seems and many people get errors because of a bug that is found in the KP500-UTILS-EN.exe program. From what I have found, you should dedicate a certain USB port for modding your LG Cookie. Once you have found a USB port that you will use (needs to be USB 2.0) then you will need to plug in your phone via the USB connection lead that came with the phone. MAKE SURE THE PHONE IS TURNED OFF AND THE BATTERY IS REMOVED.

Step 7: Once the phone is connected your computer/windows should recognize that a new hardware device has been found. A short sound should be played and a notification icon should appear in the bottom right. Windows XP will explain that a ‘USB Flash’ driver is needed and will ask you to either allow it to automatically search on the internet for one or to insert a disk/file. Instruct Windows to ‘Search for drivers automatically. A driver should be downloaded HOWEVER, it will say that the driver is not digitally signed. MAKE SURE TO SELECT ‘CONTINUE ANYWAY’ Hopefully now the phone should now be recognized by Windows as a flash device and not the LG KP500.

Step 8: Once everything has been installed, select ’safely remove hardware’ and then remove the phone from the USB lead. I would reccomend restarting your computer at this point just to allow the driver to integrate into the system properly and to stop any unecessary programs running that could cause a conflict.

Step 9: Remove ALL other USB devices from their ports before turning your computer back on. Once removed, log into your desktop (you must be an administrator as a guest account will have restrictions on it which will not allow you to use the programs needed)

Step 10: Wait until your computer has finished booting and your desktop is stable. (so we can begin to play with the themes without crashing)

Step 11: Open ‘KP500-Utils.exe’ which should be on your desktop. – Now Im sure im not the the first to say, but it is not the prettiest looking of programs, however it does work!

Step 12: VERY IMPORTANT: Backup your phones CUST (system files folder) from your phone!!!!!! (If anything goes wrong you will be able to rescue your phone! [if you do not backup then you are risking losing alot of time and complication trying to get it working again lol]

To do this you must:(Once KP500-Utils.exe is open)

Press the ‘D’ key on your keyboard and hit ‘Enter’

KP500 Utils will now ask you to enter a USB port. If you have done the previous steps correctly it should read:

Choice: d
Version of DLL: 4.4,2.0
USB Port <Ex: \\.\USB1>:

When at this stage type ‘\\.\USB1′ on your keyboard and press ‘Enter’ – Note, they must be backward slashes or this will not work.

Okay, now you should be asked for a ‘Sec-pack file’ (This is where KP500.flb comes into the process)

Type ‘C:\KP500.flb’

You will finally be asked for a ‘Data file’. Type ‘CUST’ on your keyboard and GET READY to hit enter. (Don’t actually do this yet!)

Before hitting enter, you will need to make sure that your phone is at hand. Plug the USB cable into your computer but NOT into the phone yet. ONCE AGAIN, MAKE SURE THAT THE PHONES BATTERY IS REMOVED BEFORE PROCEEDING. Once this has been done take not that once you hit Enter on KP500-Utils.exe you will have about uner 10 seconds to plug your phones USB lead in.

Okay, hit enter on KP500UTILS-EN.exe and it should say ‘Port Open… PLUG THE PHONE’. Plug your phone in as quickly as you can! This will make sure that the phone is connected.

Hopefully if all has gone well you will now have the CUST on your phone backed up to your desktop (it will take a few minutes as it around 127 MB in size)

Once the file is completely transferred and KPUtils notfies you that it has finished, remove your phone.

NOW MAKE A BACKUP! Copy and paste your new CUST file into a place where you know it will be safe. (Note COPY, not drag & drop)I would reccomend making a copy to a removable storage device like a USB pen drive or CD. You should now have to copies of your CUST file. One on your desktop and one in a safe storage area.

Step 13: Right, now that we have a copy of your phones CUST file, we can start changing things on your Cookie. Open WinImage (which should have been installed earlier). Now drag and drop your CUST file onto the WinImage window. This should open up your CUST file and display various folders of the LG Firmware.

Step 14: Navigate through the navigation pane (at the left hand side of WinImage) to the folder ‘LGAPP’ and then into the foler ‘DMF’. You can now simply replace these files with content that has been provided on this forum or on www.mylgcookie.com. An example of this would be taking these Prada 2 DMF files I uploaded onto www.mylgcookie.com – http://www.mylgcookie.com/index.php/topic,3053.60.html

Look at page 5 and a .zip file is about half way down the page. Download that to your computer.

To do this step, I will give an example on how to replace a file and then you can continue the rest yourself.

In your CUST that is open in WinImage you should have the ‘DMF’ folder open. Inside the DMF Folder there should be a folder called ‘TopMenu’. Inside this folder there will be a file called ‘TopMenu.dmf’. DELETE THIS FILE.

Now take the new ‘TopMenu.dmf’ (that I provided in the .zip file from mylgcookie.com) and drag & drop it into the ‘TopMenu’ folder in WinImage (where the old one used to be).

You will now have a new main menu when you send the theme to your phone!

Mostly it is self explanitory as to where you will find certain files that control certain things. E.g. The bluetooth control screen is found under ‘Bluetooth’ – Some others however, like MusicPlayer are found under the folder ‘Common’.

Take what parts of the Prada/Italian theme you want, so if you dont want the new music player, just leave your original file and do not replace it.

NOTE: There is a folder called ‘New Web Browser’. This is a work of mine and needs to be applied differently. I will explain how to do this on another tutorial so for now, you can just leave it.

Finally save your new CUST that includes all the changes you want to make. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT CHANGE ITS NAME FROM ‘CUST’

Step 15: All that needs doing now is to send the new CUST to your phone!

To do this:

Open KP500-Utils-En.exe

This time you will need to press ‘C’ on your keyboard to choose the option of sending your CUST partition. Hit Enter.

Like before, you will be asked for a USB port. Again, enter ‘\\.\USB1′

When asked for the Sec-Pack file again enter ‘C:\KP500.flb’

When asked for the Data File type ‘CUST’

Now, like before you will have to plug in your phone ONCE THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REMOVED. After typing ‘CUST’ and hitting enter, quickly plug in your phone. You should hear Windows recognising the device and the data will begin the transfer process.

Once it is complete you will be notified by a noise by Windows and also KP500-Utils-EN will say that the process is complete.

Step 16: Unplug your phone and re-insert the battery.

Step 17: Enjoy your new theme!

Few notes for further reading: Many users upload themes as CUST files. This is more dangerous though as if they use a different firmware version your phone will be bricked if you use it. You can however get the DMF folders out! Download their CUST, Open it with WinImage and find the DMF folders. Copy these to your desktop by dragging and dropping them over. Now that you have the necessary DMF folders and files, you can replace the files in your phones CUST in the same way as described before.

I hope that this helps you all with modding your phone. Any content that is uploaded to the other areas of this forum would help me alot and would be very much appreciated as this tutorial took me quite a while to write.
