I got it to work, but it will only charge the tablet when you use the micro usb power input on the STS, when I use the power jack input, it won't charge the tablet, unless I unplug the tablet and plug it back in after I apply power. I already called LAVA, and he did not know why, I told me to open a ticket on their website. As I already have it hooked up in the car, I am not going to bother.

It works great when using the micro usb as input power on the STS, and the powered usb hub I am using does not backfeed the power on the input line going to the STS, which is great.

But you were right, the STS could not power all my usb devices at once, so the powered usb hub was a great idea, and that STS works great with it.

Before, my tablet would not charge, or sometimes some of my usb devices would not work, everything was being powered by my old simulcharge.

But now, I have not had a misfire, everytime I turn on the car, my tablet goes right into charging mode and all my usb devices are connected and have enough juice.

Thanks again for all the tips.

Now i am using the tablet volume to control the volume, i dont like that at all since the volume on the tablet is not linear. I am trying to relocate the volume knob on the clarion equalizer to my center console, that way I can use it to adjust the volume. Right now, the clarion eq is sitting in the glove compartment, to big for me to move the whole thing over to the center console. So, I will have to remove the potentiometer for the volume and add a new one connected with wires to the circuit board. I have already ordered the potentiometer through clarion, just waiting for it. I will let you know how it turns out.

I also covered my frame with a black mate vinyl film, much nicer than the paint. I am trying to add a glossy clear coat paint on top to make it look exactly like factory.

So far everything is working great, the only thing I have not been able to figure out is the phone integration, but I am still glad I went this route.

Interesting thread.

One thing I've not seen, have you tried to implement MW? Might be the only feature that you can't really get without a proper head unit. MW is still very popular in England.
[Android Head-Units] checksum123:
Not sure what MW is?
[Android Head-Units] frankienones:
(MW) Medium Wave / AM radio broadcasting (For Europe the MW band ranges from 526.5 kHz to 1606.5 kHz)
[Android Head-Units] skezza:
MW, still very common in Europe. Mostly does sports.
[Android Head-Units] R0ttenB4ndit:
HEAT is the exact reason why I decided against it.

I was attempting to test this on a phone i purchased just yesterday. The about phone section identifies this phone as a vs425pp but under the battery it's identified as a VS425LPP.

The drivers install successfully. The LGUP and LGUP .dll install fine. But when i start LGUP i get an error saying that it can't load the model. looks like i can't attach a picture probably because i'm new but i do have screencaps. I've tried it on my laptop where i do most of my android stuff and on my desktop, same problem on both. According to the LG Mobile Support Tool this one has VS245PP5 installed.

LGUP will start without the phone connected telling me there is no compatible handset attached and then show me a com window. But when i connect the phone it throws the same error and exits.

I must be the biggest idiot, because I cannot figure out how to get into download mode - I power off the device, then while holding the power and volume up key I plug in the usb cord from the Computer. I get the buzzing on the phone, the Verizon logo comes up, and i'm on the home screen. What am I doing wrong?

---------- Post added at 12:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 AM ----------

never mind, I got it - it's the volume down and power, not volume up -

---------- Post added at 01:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 AM ----------

ok, apparently, that's the restore function, not the download mode - I can't seem to figure out the combo of buttons for the download mode - as above, I go volume up and power then when it vibrates I plug it in?? any suggestions??
[General Topics] MotoJunkie01:
I just hold volume up and keep it help while connecting the micro USB
[General Topics] MotoJunkie01:
With your device connected go to Device Manager. Look under Portable Devices, Ports and Com's, etc and look for LGE notations of your device. If you see a yellow question mark by any of the LGE notations, your issue is drivers.
[General Topics] Metalchic:
i have a

Modems > LGE Mobile for VZW USB Modem - Operational

Ports (COM & LPT )> LGE Mobile for VZW USB Serial Port (COM4) - Operational

Portable Devices > LGE Android MTP Device - Code 10 device cannot start

I initially had the 4.1.1 drivers installed from the LG Mobile Support Tool. After uninstalling those and installing the 4.0.4 version from this thread i still have Code 10 error on LGE Android MTP Device.
[General Topics] MotoJunkie01:
Ok I have seen that MTP Device error before. It is not uncommon. Search the forums for a driver resolution. Off top of my head I cannot recall, but I do know there are threads on it.
[General Topics] Metalchic:
The initial solution was to reinstall the drivers, did not work.

Second solution discovered in reference to samsung devices was to delete a registry key called UpperFilters from the WPD section. Did not work.

The third solution i've found involves downloading the Android SDK and installing it.

This last one seems sort of like a nuclear option. But i'm running out of ideas. the MTP and PTP transfer modes install and start correctly when the device is booted normally but when booted into download mode it just goes code 10. I'm working on the third option now but it will take a while to download.
[General Topics] MotoJunkie01:
Yes that SDK is a bulk of a download and installation. But may be your fix. Very odd I agree
[General Topics] Metalchic:
It didn't work. Still code 10. I tried on a third computer, an old Dell laptop running Windows XP. It gave a strange error Code 28 saying something about an invalid service section of the INF. But i think this may be a red herring and actually be caused by Windows Media Player 11 not being installed. I'll have to setup an installation of Windows 7 to try that.

Edit: looks like i'm going to have to give up trying to fix the code 10 error because NONE of the information from google is relevant to this. All the information is for the phone being started normally and being unable to access the MTP file transfer through normal working operation. None of it relates to this "download mode" that LG has implemented. I wish this were easy like my Galaxy Nexus was back in the day.
[General Topics] MotoJunkie01:
OK. Let me know..
[General Topics] MotoJunkie01:
Yeah tell me about it. The good ol' Nexus days were much simpler. I'm like you....I think its a Red Herring of some sort you are dealing with. Something so obvious and so simple that it is hiding behind a thin wall.

I'm searching right now trying to help too.
[General Topics] roscoemctavish:
Hi MotoJunkie01,

I appreciate you putting together this guide but I have to say that I no further along than everyone else here. Similar to Metalchic I received the "can't load model" error from LGUP. Googling around i found that I was missing the LGUP_common.dll file. Found that and LGUP opened fine and found my device. Tried to flash VS425PP2 kdz got to about 9% and received "Secure device, But Unsecure image" error. And that's as far as i got.

As far as the LG Android MTP driver goes i also receive the code 10 cannot start error but only when the phone is in download mode. Otherwise the driver loads fine when the phone is "booted". I dont know jack about rooting phones and have never done it before. I had this one lying around and thought I'd try it. Hopefully all this helps to narrow down the issue.
[General Topics] MotoJunkie01:
Thanks for pointing out the common .dll file. I will edit that in my thread for download. I am not sure on the MTP error. I have two of these Zone 3s lying around and neither gives any type of error on MTP. Almost certainly sounds like a driver related issue though. Im going to uninstall drivers and everything on my end, do factory resets, and reinstall everything and walk back through the process from scratch. See if I can pinpoint the issue.
[General Topics] Metalchic:
like roscoemctavish i was able to grab the LGUP_common.dll file and put it into ..\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\common and then LGUP started detecting my phone. It only takes the kdz file type under the Upgrade selection. But like roscoemctavish i ran into the 'unsecured image secured device' error. Still code 10 on the MTP driver but i don't think it's related to this. Maybe though.
[General Topics] MotoJunkie01:
So in your instance, did the .kdz file flash for you with no issue or did it stop at some point?
[General Topics] Metalchic:
stopped at 9% with the "Secure device, But Unsecure image" error the other guy was having.
[General Topics] MotoJunkie01:
OK. So both you guys having the stop at 9% please try this. Rename the VS425PP2 file to the filename VS425PP6. Then flash the .kdz.
[General Topics] MotoJunkie01:
For now I'm editing the thread down to unbricking via the Verizon LG utility and I'll give links to the .kdz files. It's back to the drawing board guys. I'm very sorry. Please know that I am working hard on it.
[General Topics] roscoemctavish:
No worries man and I appreciate just having this as a potential option. If it matters I have tried to root my phone with Kingoroot. Of course it fails but the software status has changed to "modified". Current software version is VS425PP5.

I did try changing the filename "VS425PP2_02_ARB00.kdz" to "VS425PP6.kdz" and flashing with the same result (Stops at 9% with unsecure image error). There is a log file in the "\LGUP\model\common\LOG" folder which when opened in notepad produces unreadable text. Let me know if I can provide anything else.

Thanks!

OOOOOPPPPSSSS!!!!!!!

well i tried to change the apn settings but couldnt so i replaced build.prop with the one from cricket spree.{same hardware} so it changed some things then i accidentally deleated system settings app...

on reboot i ended up with stuck on verizon red screen ...

then i somehow got to {recovery} but factory reset was the wrong option as now it doesnt respond to adb ...

and cant flash back on lgup becuse lgup thinks phone is a spree now....

tried on a whim to flash spree.kdz but it quits at 4% saying wrong file...

i guess i need to figure out how to modify lgup so as to not check files just flash and brick be damned....

well any suggestions ?

lg support tool recognizes as vs425pp.. but also see's k120b firmware...

all tries to update fail...

so i found in options something called update-recovery or some such...

with phone connected it does nothing but once started unplug phone quickly and get error box "cant detect phone enter info ( i chose lookup by imie number )" and it started downloading what i hope to be firmware for vs425pp its still downloading at 9% says two steps to go after download finishes... looks like a phone emoji with an arrow " download-mode flash device ?" is next and finnally a clipboard with a checkmark " finish-checklist?"

Any ways its all connected and doing stuff "mysterious stuff"

What Driver's exactly do you need ?
[General Topics] Astr4y4L:
WOOOHOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like the problem is if you install "lg-bridge and lg -airdrop" or what ever, the programs clash and support tool gives error...

but was able to use those to get drivers installed then removed the lg-blablabla and now support tool is working in win7 compatability mode flawlessly :)

remember reading that people were having problems with this tool... maby that bit helps.

anyways , back at it with a stable connection fresh windows and such, currently at 23% and counting .

yesterdays attempt was on dualboot laptop win10/parrot sec OS and AMD hardware 3-4 gigs of ram, today I popped a different h-drive in my RHEL-server and installed windows10 with 6 gigs ram and Intel hardware,

now at 29% much faster !!!!
