[Q] Baseband upgrade with linux OS.

Hi!
I stopped using Windows recently, and have tried to find another way of changing the baseband on my phone. Is widows software the only option for doing this?

Seems like it at the moment, unless Smartflash works in WINE, which I doubt.

No, wine doesn't work.
Is there no way of doing this without a computer then?

It seems there is not another way, I used to upgrade my bb by virtual machine.

I do like that too but it's not the best solution because when you plug in a usb cable is the host machine that deals with it first and then the guest virtual machine manages it. This little detail made me unable to update my x10 mini,with this phone you have to push the back button while plugging in the usb. In that situation you plug the cable, the phone doesn't see any "flashing attempt" because the host machine (linux) doesn't have the flasher software running and so the phone reboots without updating. When the device is "passed" to the guest machine is already too late. As babytux said it can be done, but if you have problems in the procedure a "real" windows machine can be useful.

no known linux sw at this time, sorry ...
i updated my BB to 20110725 with virtualbox (without hw virtualizing)-(64bit linux as host machine) without any problems (smartflash in winxp used only virtual modem(tty) for this job).
i'm thinking the lgos is a "real" open phone for all types of OS's, not to mention the super "last" flash fallback(nvflash).
hope, this is a little help for you ...

Unless there is a way to do it with Nvflash it might be impossible for now.

[Q] Having trouble connecting LGOB to the PC Suite [Q]

Whenever I try to connect my Lg Optimus Black to the PC Suite it isn't recognised...
Any ideas?

What operating system are you using on your PC? I wasn't able to correctly install the drivers under Vista, I've only managed to get the thing running on an XP system.

Windows 7, i've installed the drivers a few different times now and they seemed to work each time...

Problem resolved.

Any chance of sharing the solution, in case any other person is having the same issue and lands on this page after a search? Thanks!

I just reinstalled the drivers a load of times and made sure that mass storage mode wasn't enabled...

[Q] Issues instaling drivers in USB debug mode (winxp), can anyone help?

This is partially a Windows support issue, but hopefully someone here has had a similar experience or at least got some good ideas how i can troubleshoot this...
When i plug my Note on my machine if i got USB debugging enabled, Windows starts installing the drivers, but then the device installation thingy freezes (i've tried both just letting it do it's thing automaticly and the add hardware thingy from the control panel, same results), i can't even start the add hardware thingy afterwards (it complains some hardware is still being installed and it can't install more than one at once), Windows won't shutdown afterwards; and if it is plugged with the computer off or remains plugged when rebooting Windows won't finish booting, even if i try to boot in safe mode (but if it isn't plugged while Windows loads the boot goes just fine).
The pc is running WinXP 32bits SP3 (in brazilian portuguese if that matters), and the Note still got the factory's Gingerbread UBKK3 (not rooted yet). Feel free to ask for any additional information you believe i can provide that could help you help me figure this out.
Any ideas how i can figure out what is going wrong here?
ps:before anyone suggests it, no, reformatting the PC is not somthing i'd be willing to consider at the moment; and unless there is no drivers avaiable for WinXP i definitly don't wanna downgrade to 7, much less Vista.

Kies is installed and works just fine; do i need to install that stuff from that blog? Can i even trust that site to not sneak malwares inside the drivers or the executable? (no offense intended, i'm just not used to installing thirdparty drivers from sites that don't appear that big)

If Kies is installed and up to date then you don't need any further drivers.
Might be worth un installing Kies and samsung usb drivers, reboot, download Kies again and install, reboot. Make sure you're connecting the phone in the rear (motherboard) usb ports and see how it works from there.
Is it just the phone that causes this issue, or other usb devices also?

I already tried uninstalling and reinstaling Kies as well as the "devices" that get installed when i plug the note; things still go screwy if i try plugging my Note with USB debugging mode activated.
Perhaps i'm not explaining this right. What i call "installing drivers" is what windows does when you plug a new device; i'm not talking about just having the files avaiable, but actually setting things up to use the device.
Btw, it seems Windows doesn't recognize the Note as the same device with and without the USB debug mode, it installs more than one of some of the "virtual" devices; i noticed it 'cause it installs a "Samsung Mobile USB Modem #2" after i try to plug the device both with the USB debug mode disabled, and with it enabled (had to do that trick to show unplugged devices to actually see both the plain USB Modem and the USB Modem #2 at the same time, but the fact there was a #2 being installed clued me it had another one it still counted as being present)

A small update: I might've found a lead on what is going on; according to Wikipedia
Noting that the latest (as of 2012/09/02) driver version Samsung Android ADB driver 2.9.503.726 is broken (blue screen), and once installed fails to recognise Samsung devices ('Manufacturer Hardware ID missing'). This is supplied as part of Kies.

I don't get BSOD's, but that is precisely the version of the ADB driver that gets installed for me.

Nope, that wasn't it
I tried the drivers from that blog, and even though they are a different version things still go bad if i plug the Note in USB debug mode

I can't say exactly what the problem is, but had you seen that Gingerbread has USB options in 3 different places in the Settings menus?
- Location and Security, Disable USB debugging mode;
- Applications , USB Debugging;
- Wireless and network, USB utilities, Connect storage to PC (button).
I found you have to play around with those to get the connection working properly. I also found it's not a good idea to try to use Kies and Samsung drivers together on one PC. There's quite a lot about these issues on this thread and links therefrom. Hope this helps.

i got an issue regarding Usb mode too @@
recently i upgrade Note to blackCNA v2.1 and i can't "turn on usb" neither "turn off usb". when i stick Note to the computer, it's showed as "portable media player".
i've tried installing and uninstalling then reinstalling everything, from Kies to samsung usb driver, then reboot, then do it in another laptops, but it doesn't work @@
what can i do to fix it now @@

Do i need to uninstall Kies, or just kill all Kies* processes before plugging it in? (i think i already tried both, i'm not gonna try again unnecessarily 'cause when it freezes the driver installation thingy, Windows won't shutdown (it freezes after a while before finishing the process) and i'm forced to go for the physical power switch; i already had some bad experiences with HDDs developing an increased amount of bad blocks during similar circumstances in the past so i don't feel quite comfortable having to cut the power before the OS says it is ok if i have a choice)

Whether you use Kies or Samsung drivers really depends on what you want to do with your device. Kies lets you synchronise your contacts, agenda, etc. with Outlook on your computer. On the other hand if you are going to work on your device's software (rooting, flashing, modifying, (de-)odexing or even just transferring files) then you're better off with Samsung drivers. See this post for a download link. If you read the posts around this one, you will see how Chasmodo stresses the importance of completely getting rid of Kies before installing the Samsung drivers.
I would recommend you completely clean your PC of all drivers, Kies or Samsung drivers (software and registry) with your Note completely disconnected from it. There should be no yellow-triangle devices or anything like that in your PC device list, and your PC should be rebooting normally again. Next install either Samsung drivers or Kies, depending on what you want to do, with the Note still not connected and only when they're comfortably installed and your PC is still working and rebooting properly, reconnect your Note and let the PC detect and finish the installation.
Kies in particular is quite temperamental so it may take a bit of playing around before everything is set up for a sync if that's what you want to do.

Hi All
I am having issues upgrading my mother in laws lg970 to ICS i have tried multiple drivers/ways
all with same issue when phone reboots in to s/w upgrade mode my computer stops being able to detect it comes up with unknown device. Machine has multiple reboots before/after uninstall/installing drivers

I have tried LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN32AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.2.1_2 & LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN38AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.8.1, the LG software downloads LG United Mobile Driver 3.7.2.0

After 2 day on this @"#[email protected]# phone, I find a solution work only on widows 7:
With the usb recognition I succed with this protocole,
1) Uninstall the Lg driver
2) Install the driver with B2C
3) Put the phone in S/W mode with the battery windows will say that it's not recognized,
4) Unplug the phone It will stay on S/W mode
5) Reboot Windows 7, and as soon as the desktop finish to load, plug your phone
And miracle it's work. Sometime you need to do it 2,3, or 10 times.

Try from step 3 first. If it doesn't work, repeat from step 1
If it still doesn't work, do this first, then repeat above prosess
*note (base on my experience):
- step 5, I plug it when the shortcut in desktop appear
- works in windows 7 and windows 8

Yeah i came across that ealier given that a go multiple times with out any luck. Also tried getting it to work on a windows 7x64 laptop with no luck, install the drivers and it does not find it in s/w update mode.

AW: [Q] Issues drives Software Update mode
If you use only the original LG driver it will only work with a 32bit Windows. To make it work with a 64bit Windows you need to use a extra SW. I think it's call something like enabler, you find it here somewhere.

You could try installing the drivers manually. Does a device show up in Windows' Device Manager when the phone is plugged in?

i installed drivers manually and i uploaded photo of Device manager
is the problem from my phone or from my PC ?
thanks for Help
sorry of the bad English not my first Lang.

Your device does show up in the device manager, so that's a good sign! Can you see what the exclamation mark means in the properties?

Same problem here...
Tried with another P880 on same computer and it was found.
ADB works, and access to SD-cards (internal/external) works just fine.
Only thing that doesn't work is PC Suite, it just doesn't find the rooted device.
Any ideas?

Which OS you are on? I am on windows 8.1 and i had to install Windows Media Feature Pack for N and KN versions of Windows 8.1 to manage to access phones memory.

I even tried one non-roted P880 (my gf's) on same computers without any problem.

now how can i backup every thing even the app data i don't want to lose whatsapp and viber and games data in my phone because i want to install CM and remove the ****ty Stock ROM ? can any one help me please
