yeah, sorry about the previous comment, i'm just f*ckin aggravated - i've wasted waaaaaaaaaaaay too much time on this phone, and 90% of that time is FIGHTING WITH WINDOWS. any way, i remembered, after i said that, that i only ever saw it in GINUX, after i mounted it. what pissed me off is that now i can't get ginux to mount it and SHOW me the damned autorun installer, but, thanks to [MENTION=3169521]foxfire450[/MENTION] i have that file i needed. also, [MENTION=3169521]foxfire450[/MENTION], one of the things the flashing software looks for is if the LGPC suite has been installed. it may not be REQUIRED to install it, but it may make a difference if you have no yet connected your phone to windows in the various modes so that it can configure itself. any way, i'm about to try all that, and that exe, thanks.

it looks like i'm not going to be able to flash using vindows. the problem NOW appears to be the convoluted process of passing usb access to the device through the host OS and then the virtualized os, making it more cumbersome. i might be able to do this on a real windows install. gonna bug my brother, AGAIN, to let me hijack on of his computers for a moment, BUT, his computer is running windows8, not xp, and windows xp is what allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll that software and drivers was meant to run on, so half the time it toesn't even run on windows8. i swear to mother f*cking GOD, i'm so f*ckin SICK of WINDOWS!!!

running linux free on win? anyone got a better way (for villan-kit)

First things first, you will need to download the free VMware Player - LINK: https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/free#desktop_end_user_computing/vmware_player/6_0

Now we need to download the Linux OS we want to install (for this document I'll use Damn Small Linux.)

LINK: http://distro.ibiblio.org/damnsmall/release_candidate/dsl-4.11.rc1.iso

For the sake of keeping your Virtual machine tidy on your HD, download OS.zip

LINK: https://sites.google.com/site/rajkumargodi/OS.zip?attredirects=0&d=1

- When downloaded, extract the files to your C:\ Drive (you will see a folder named "OS" in it.)

The next step is to move the Linux .iso file into the "OS" folder, Just drag and drop.

While you are in the OS folder, right click on "VMware configuration file" and select "open with"

Choose notepad; and change the file *ide1:0.fileName C:\OS\whatever-damn-small-linux-file-name-is-type-here*

Once this is changed; hit File > Save

Finally, go back to your OS folder and right click on the same configuration file you just altered and hit "create shortcut"...

name the shortcut "Damn Small Linux" and put it on your desktop.

The moment of truth! Click on the shortcut you just made; if successful you will be running Linux inside of Windows! When you are done with your linux session, exiting VMware will "suspend" Linux's operations for the next time you run it..

I COPIED THIS FROM ONE SITE AND UPDATED ALL THE LINKS TO MAKE SURE THEY WORK

HERES ANOTHER MORE THOROUGH RUN THROUGH BUT THE LINKS MAY OR MAY NOT WORK

https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/free#desktop_end_user_computing/vmware_player/6_0

ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE **** GiNUX is? google search turned up thumbnail modifiers for XP...

I hope you get it villain. Sorry about the exes I was just so occupied with my wife and kid while trying to unlock the bootloader but I finally got that ***** unlocked. Only major difference this time was that I network unlocked the phone, flashed the radio, wait 30 min and unlocked. Using pacman now but not everything is right. I'm gonna use villains wipeout and reflash
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] villan.co:
[MENTION=2023776]ciris[/MENTION], it's cool. my brother's computer (windows8 - i updated my previous post to ***** about that too) won't run any of the stuff any more.the phone won't connect to it propery, etc. go figure. i'm going to try ONE MORE TIME, using vmware (downloading now) instead of virtualbox, and see if i can get this to work. after that, i've done all i can do, and you guys who still want to unlock the LGLL phones will just have to try what i told you to try, without waiting on me to try it first. i'm installing vindows on vmware right now. havent TRIED it yet, but, it looks better already...
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] villan.co:
btw, fwiw, this is why i keep telling people to quit using windows. if every one uses ginux, there will be a much larger DEMAND for linux-based software, and all of the major software manufacturers will start building linux versions to their software (eg, LGMS). a lot of companies have already started doing this, but, some companies need more of demand before it becomes "economically practicable".

if you don't know **** about ginux, i would recommend "kubuntu" or "linux-mint (KDE desktop)". if you like having firm control over your setup, or you are a developer, i would recommend "debian (KDE desktop)" over "fedora". also, linux-mint is based off ubuntu, which is based off debian, but HEAVILY modified, but, linux-mint-debian is based off debian. linux-mint is popular because it comes with a lot of the drivers and 3-rd party software pre-installed. but, linux-mint does not have an EFI installer, which means that brand new computers with windwos-8's bootloader locking will not be able to install it - they will have to use kubuntu or debian net-installer.

as of now, it looks like 4% of the worlds users is using some form of gunix, excluding android, according to http://www.w3counter.com/globalstats.php. i coun't "other" and "unix" as "ginux" as well, which they don't show there, and keep in mind, those stats are only coming from select sites, so, they are NOT an ACCURATE representation - ginux users are between 4% and 8% of the world now - more than mac users, iirc.

if microsoft were smart, they would take the source code for a good ginux distro, like debian, and re-write all of the front-end (the "windows" parts), and call it "windows" - it would lower their software development costs, and they would not keep losing customers. but, they STILL make money, because even if you install ginux, they are selling copies of windows on the computer you buy to install ginux on, so you have to look for people who sell ginix laptops and desktops (dell, system76, etc), to make them lose money, and influence them to start building off the linux-kernel or off ginux systems.

just throwing all that out there... also, windows has back-doors access built into it, for the feds ;) - but, in microsoft's defence, it's not by choice - the feds have FORCED them to do it, just like they did with skype, xbox, etc.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] villan.co:
fwiw, vmware does seem to be better than virtualbox at passing through the usb connection unrestrictedly - when you unplug your phone and plug it back it, it seems that device manager in vindwos is responding, to it, which suggests there is no interruption by having to TAKE the device from the host OS again, after plugging it in again. however, it doesn't seem to be "autoconfiguring" completely... i'll let you know if this works, but, until then, i just wanted to let you know that vmware does appear to be better than virtualbox. also, vbox would freeze while doing the calls to the phone to evaluate its connection state - vmware does NOT.

also, fwiw, widnows-8 is a nightmare for doing this ****, but, windows-7 seemed to be much more reliable. i just don't have access to a windows-7 computer any more.

i'm flashing v20f onto the UNLOCKED phone right now, even though its running a v20f CWM backup install right now, so i can turn around and connect to windows with a CLEAN factory STOCK install of v20f, and get it to connect in all the various modes. then i will do it AGAIN, on the unlocked device, with v20b, to get windows to recognize that, just in case. after that, i SHOULD be able to flash the locked phone again, and, if not, then it's a problem with the phone itself...

good job
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] villan.co:
one of the problems might have been with my setup.

i have a usb 7-port hub: http://www.siig.com/it-products/usb/bay-hubs/usb-3-0-2-0-7-port-hub-with-5v-4a-adapter.html

and a toshiba satellite pro: http://www.toshiba.eu/laptops/satellite-pro/c850/

and i had (1) the 7-port hub plugged into the usb 2.0 port on my laptop, which i THOUGHT was the ONLY usb 3.0 port (and the other 2 were 2.0 only), but after FINALLY finding a MANUAL for the damned thing (it doesn't come with a "full manual", i found out the 3.0 ports were on the right, and there are 2 of them), and, (2) the 7-port hub only actually has 3 usb 3.0 ports, not all of them, and it was one the side farthest from me, which i did not have the phone plugged into. so, after plugging the 7-port hub into one of the laptop's 3.0 port and plugging the phone into one of the hub's 3.0 ports, vindows installed 2 new drivers - one of them being the OMAP4* driver that i installed before. now i've got to restart the install process. it WAS hanging at 15%, like it was doing on my brother's windows-7 computer, until i switched the port to his 3.0 port (which is what reminded me to check MY configurations). oddly enough, the LGMS shows "UsbHighSpeed = FALSE", but, the connection is faster and vindows installed new stuff, so, i should be good to go.

that may help some one ;)

Glad to see you online and trying to help us all get this F-ING thing unlocked, Villan.co. If you need a beta tester, feel free to PM me :p:good:

Anyways, Villan.co said I should put this here, so here it is

"Any tweaks/mods/apps you guys would recommend for my phone? (Maybe like settings/tweaks that work for you?) Would like to increase the speed of my phone so Im about to try the overclock method I just found that is suppose to work on our phone. I have also removed a ton of bloatware apks, any other recommendations?"

Thanks!

Pretty sure if you are running an emulated OS (Linux on Windows, VMware, etc) you should re-install your drivers for that OS. I know if you are on windows using a virtual box to run linux, you will probably need to install the drivers

as far as i can tell, he let me go, "scott free", when he could have and should have arrested me. that, and what he did with my car, are why i will never speed on his roads again - ever.

not on linux, but, on vindows, yes. also, i'm gonna delete the virtualbox video - it does not apply at all to vmware.

which cyanogenmod are you installing, i have put the 10.2 for 769 and 10.1 for 769 on my phone and both have gotten stuck in bootscreen... i guess im gonna work on the unbrick stuff now... i dont really know what else there is to do for my phone.

my bootloader says unlocked and i have only been flashing cyanogen through cwm...

just moving the zip straight from the download to my phone....

any help??
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] villan.co:
no, you have to put them on a flash drive, unmount it (click the "safely remove" option, wherever it is on your distro), then tell vmware to let vindows have it.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] villan.co:
i installed cyomod after i unlocked the 1st phone's bootloader, and it was faster. i then installed it again, without gapps, and it was even faster than that. that's really my only recommendation, other than getting firefox and vlc (linked to in OP).

[/QUOTE]

i actually have no idea, but, i have noticed that it IS significantly faster.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] villan.co:
btw, i'm not sure you're going to be able to pull this off using vindows instead of windows, because it seems that vindows can not connect to the phone while it's in software upgrade mode, which appears to be WHY it's hanging on me during the flashing process - it's TRYING to get the phone switched from normal mode (booted up), into sw upgrade mode (SWUM), and it can not do it. i'm trying to find a fix for that...

i would interpret it to mean that the phone, while in SWUM, is connected more as a "raw serial device" than as a "phone", and it being sent raw payload data (the partition images), but, for some reason, it is not being picked up through the translation from host machine to virtual machine while it's in that mode... i could be wrong, this is just a guess, but, it is the only problem getting in my way now.

i sooo hate windows software...

Touchscreen issues after villan kit

Hi Everyone,

I am still experiencing touchscreen issues after going through the villan kit in the same order as in the video. I'm on a metropcs MS769 if that makes a difference.

I also tried the touchscreen fix but that doesn't seem to fix it.

Is there a specific version of cyanogenmod that you all would recommend? I've tried bobZhome's cyomod 10.1 & 10.2 for the MS769, as well as the mainline cyomod 10.1 for the P760.

My screen is no longer flipped once cyanogen starts up however.

EDIT:

The process I followed went like so:

Flash Europe-Open v20b KDZ

1 Turn on wifi, wait ~30 minutes (I know you said we didn't have to, but it didn't work for me without this)

2 adb reboot oem-unlock

3 wipeout.sh

4 unbrick.sh

5 Reboot into recovery ( to rebuild file system? mentioned in video )

6 cyomod.sh

7 install cyanogenmod from zip

After reading up some more, it seems like I'm supposed to flash the original kdz between steps 2 and 3. Am I correct about that?

And if so, I don't know how to flash the kdz, because I cannot get the phone into lg software mode because the touch screen is wonky.

EDIT2:

I just tried again a few more times and the touchscreen issue resolved itself.

okay, i'm simply NOT going to be able to connect in SWUM on vindows. i'm done with windows and vindows. there's nothing else i can try on windows. there is nothing else i am interested in trying on windows, except the dll swap.

i've attached the dll, if any one else wants to try it. rename it to LGP760.dll and replace the v20b's dll with this one (AFTER v20b gets unpacked, other wise it will be erased during the unpacking of the rom). if you don't know where to put it, or what this is all about, just ignore this post.

even if it DOES work, this is not the "method", but it may make the "trick" easier to pull off.

[MENTION=4447066]kuma82[/MENTION] says it's u-boot does not respect the bootloader-lock-status flag, and, it does have a wind-mobile branded boot, but, other than that, it APPEARS to be completely "stock". we may be able to use v20f's u-boot with this, but that is unlikely. it's hidden menu shows my unlocked status on my unlocked phone (not that the hidden menu's report is 100% accurate). i'm going to try to get this onto the locked phone.
