I did some looking around and haven't found a solution to this problem so I figured I'd go ahead and ask.
My wife has the Dash. I was trying to download some new themes for her phone directly from this site the same way I do for mine on my Wing. For some reason her phone won't allow me to download anything. I'm doing this via our Wifi connection at home, so I'm sure that's not the problem. I also downloaded the same file on my Wing to confirm it and of course the Wing had no problem.
Is there some kind of Smartphone vs. PPC thing that I don't know about when downloading files from the net?
I have the same problem using HTC Vox (original rom). I tried to download any file but PIE or Opera gave me an error that I cannot download these files. It does not matter which kind of file it is.
By default you can download only a few file types. Please check this http://www.modaco.com/content/Smart...Standard-devices-Review-of-Opera-Mini-4-beta/ for a solution. There is a freeware at http://www.smartmadsoft.com/products.html#feadie can help too.
Reason #213 why my wife wants to get rid of her Dash.
Hi. I have a LG Fathom and I want to cook its ROM. However, to cook that I guess I need its ROM first. If you know there to find its ROM or if you know how to dump the ROM, can you please help me?
Thanks
Install Microsoft's Network Monitor** (its free - netmon from now on, im lazy ) http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...1d-06cb-4658-b7f6-3088333d062f&displaylang=en
Close all your browser windows, instant messenger, email, anything that uses the network should be stopped while you do this.
Start netmon, and tell it to capture all the traffic on your network card.
Then start the lg-updater program (get it from lg directly), and have it check for updates for your phone.
Go back to network monitor and stop capturing traffic when it's done.
You can then either browse through the captured traffic in netmon directly, and see if you can find a url yourself (it'll be an exe or kdz file) or send me the capture file and I'll find it.
**If you're familiar with wireshark you could use that instead of netmon.
Hey there can90. If you manage to get the base rom for the LG Fathom would you be able to post the link. There is some stuff in that phone that I'm sure others would love to port to other phones; including myself
Can we flash unsigned roms to the Fathom?
Can90 managed to get me a network capture to look through, unfortunately it doesn't contain a reference to the stock rom. I assume this is because LG just hasn't uploaded it yet.
For anyone that wants to play with URLs to try and find it, this is the relevant portion of the response to lg's updater app.
<model>LGVS750SS</model>
<suffix>AVRZDB</suffix>
<esn_date>20100420</esn_date>
<sw_version />
<sw_url />
<sw_locale_url>/</sw_locale_url>
<sw_recommand_uri>AIC/GLOBAL</sw_recommand_uri>
<app_version />
<app_url />
<cs_em_flag>N</cs_em_flag>
<cs_em_uri>N</cs_em_uri>
<chip_type />
normally sw_url and sw_locale_url would have what we want, but they're empty
Hopefuly I will be getting an LG Fathom tomorrow so I will try to help out here. Has anyone else had any luck snagging a complete ROM from LG's site yet?
Nobody that I've been able to find.
I have discovered there is a seemingly different (from the generic one used for the expo) updater for verizon.
I haven't actually looked at it yet, but it's different from the usual B2CAppSetup and is labelled as 1.0.1.8 (the generic one offered up on lg's site is 1.0.1.7) ( http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/client/app/Verizon/LGMobileUpdate.exe )
I'm not sure which one can90 used (I've pm'd him to find out and try the other) but if you've got a phone and a few minutes you could try them both.
Just as an update - I joined the LG forums and posted a question on the fathom update. Here is the post - http://www.lgcommunity.com/forums/aff/6/aft/6481/afv/topic.aspx
When I find out there's an update I will let everyone know.
I just checked the lg update tool and the fathom is on the list as of this morning! It wasn't there when I looked last night.
Is it possible that the fathom update could be a cab file? so far I have this -
URL: /swdata/WEBSW/LGVS750/AVRZDB/VS750ZV5_06/VS750ZV5_06.SV5_06.P58006.R5.cab
Edit:
link here - http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdat.../VS750ZV5_06/VS750ZV5_06.SV5_06.P58006.R5.cab
Is this whats needed? Not trying to push for an answer, just updating and asking...

This doesn't appear to be a real cab file....not one that anything I've got recognizes anyways
Windows explorer opened it when others couldn't
At 130 megs it probably is what we're after, just in a new (to me at least) format. Did you try flashing it?
Running "strings" against it the first few turned up are
These are the contents of the cab file
VS750ZV5_06.SV5_06.P58006.R5.wdb
VS750_W_1_0_7_0.dll
VS750ZV5_06.SV5_06.P58006.R5.wdh
the wdh/wdb are not extensions I'm familiar with and I'd be more than a bit surprised if it was a ms works database. I'll try and take a closer look at the file later today if nobody else has by then.
Edit: Apparently that's the same packaging the vs740 came in. From what I could find, people hadn't been able to find tools to successfully unpack the wdb.
Going through the flashing process should leave a .bin file in the usual lgmobileax location, not clear whether that's something we can unpack with existing tools either.
Hey there da_reeseboy. Great find on the firmware. Once quick question though that may help me get past where I am stuck extracting the firmware. What is the firmware version that is running on your fathom. If your not sure where to look, got to start menu/Settings/System/System Info and click on the plus box next to Version Info. What does it say after ROM?

I don't have a version info with a plus sign next to it but under software version it says VS750ZV4
Thanks da_reeseboy. I see that that is an older version than the cab from the updater program. I haven't had any success extracting the files. If someone with a fathom is willing to try this we may be able to get the rom. We would need someone to attempt to flash their phone to the new firmware. To do this run the updater program and connect your phone to your computer. Next, make sure you have an activesync connection and start update. It should place the phone in emergency download mode. The update program should start running, will detect your phone, download the new firmware and start loading it to your phone. This is where you will need to search for the rom. In win xp go to:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\LGMOBILEAX\Phone
in win7:
C:\Users\All Users\LGMOBILEAX\Phone
The rom should be in that folder. Just simply copy it somewhere so that you have a copy of it after exiting the updater since the updater deletes the file after completion. After that we would just need you to upload the rom to a free file sever and post the link for someone to download.
I'll be happy to try it in the morning with some coffee lol. I'll post my findings.
Edit: Do we want to try to pull the current version on my phone first before flashing the update? Just as something to compare to?
just an update - I dumped the stock rom, then tried to do the update but my computer is saying that it can't connect to the com port. I'm gonna try it on my laptop when I get back home (family was hungry so we went to get food). does anyone know if the update tool has an issue with win7 64 bit vs 32 bit?
Edit: home now, started update on my laptop - its working great so there must be an issue with 64 bit...
Update done. I snagged the files in that folder, but I don't think they will do us much good - its just the contents of the cab file.
For those interested, here is the contents of the phone folder during the update -

Hey da_reeseboy. Thanks for trying. i was hoping that the updater would unpack the wdb file. Guess it didn't. You had mentioned something about dumping the original version on your phone. Do you have a copy of the dump?
I just finished uploading it and a dump of the update -
VS750ZV4 - http://www.multiupload.com/M7FYR42S60
VS750ZV5 - http://www.multiupload.com/KTED97KZU3
Think we can do anything with these?
Hi guys,
I'm having a very annoying problem with the Mango Beta. I haven't been able to deploy anything to the emulator, even with Beta 1. Everytime I try and deploy any basic app (7.0 or 7.1) I get a deployment error messagebox with the error window reading "The version option is invalid". It seems that not many other people have run into this problem and I'm currently working with MS support to try and fix this. However, has anyone here experienced this or have any ideas how to fix it?
I've updated the SDK to Mango beta 2, but I get the same error. For this reason, I'm not updating my device to Mango as I don't want to end up being able to deploy any app to it. (Formatting the PC is out of the question )
FWIW, I've tried using VS2010 Ultimate + SP1 and just the standard VS Express for Windows Phone.
Thanks for any ideas!

But Formatting the PC is probably the solution to your probs...
Happen to alot of ppl with various probs ...after new installation all are OK
Whilst true, I think if I can help find the cause of the problem, then others who come across it can have a simpler solution than format. I'm currently working with MS support, so hopefully something comes from that but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas what could be causing this.
Post this today and suddenly I find a fix
I've managed to solve the problem by moving all the files in these three folders:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\XDE
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Phone Tools\CoreCon\10.0
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\CoreCon\1.0
Instead of deleting them, I just created a new directory in their respective folders and moved the files there in case I needed them back. I also uninstalled all Visual Studio versions I had installed, but I don't think that made a difference. I've successfully deployed using the VS2010 Express for Windows Phone, so hopefully VS2010 Ultimate should work once it's installed. Will update tomorrow.
Update - Yup, everything seems to be working perfectly now . I have a feeling it's something to do with the VHD/decfg files in the XDE folder more than anything. I've written a step by step guide for anyone who comes across the problem.
I am hoping to learn if I am having a unique or shared problem with downloading e4gtauto.zip file using the link provided in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728
The download appears to reach 100% but then fails with a dialog box showing
"e4gtauto.zip.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.
Try again later, or contact the server administrator."
From the PC I have used Firefox, Chrome, and IE, and from the phone the stock internet browers, and Firefox to attempt the download. And with each browser on both the PC & phone I recieve a variation of the failure message.
Respectfully,
KungFuDad
Finally figured this out.... To users of ESET Smart Security, the solution is to use a VM (virtual machine) that ESET does not have access to or use the temporay disable protection option and the files will download without issue.
ESET is reporting the following: ....e4gtauto.zip » ZIP » e4gtauto/copy2tmp/zergrush - Linux/Exploit.Lotoor.AN trojan
Since we are knowinly using the exploit to root the phone this is not an issue.... *palm slaps self on the forehead*
I added a note to the Auto Root download section about zergrush and anti-virus scanners so hopefully it would be less effort to figure out the issue in the future.
Thank you very much sfhub; also I found that ESET Security Suite in addition to stopping download from completing, it would prevent the scripts from properly installing to the phone & successfully rooting. As soon as I temporarily disabled antivirus / spyware functions the scripts ran perfectly. My phone is now rooted, and I deeply appreciate the work you have done.
I ran as administrator did everything i saw in the thread but i kept getting an error stating "the system cannot find the path specified" I had no clue what to do. I searched and looked (i was unable to post and ask) although with due diligence I finally found others with this issue most believed it was a windows 10 issue but its not A user by the name of damaph Thank you as i was unable to do so in the thread where you posted this
Damaph said:
I don't know if you guys have the same issue but I had a similar "0 files copied" problem and was able to fix it. My issue was because the script trys to save a log file to
%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\adb-installer.log
My desktop was moved to another location so %USERPROFILE%\Desktop did not exist. To fix it, I temporarily created a desktop folder in my user profile (c:\users\[username]\desktop).
Snoop05, I would move the log file location to %temp% instead of %USERPROFILE%\Desktop.

This was the solution to my issue and hopefully anyone else who may have missed that post and your having this issue thank Damaph and Snoop05
I am very thankful for this as I am not very familiar with using ADB previously i always just used an SD card and never bothered with ADB although with the OnePlus 3 that's not exactly an option.
thanks both of you guys! :highfive:
