Thank you for cooking the LG Expo base rom for flashing. Included MS Office is not 2010 and no threaded email. Included Windows is 6.5. 5.2.2174. Looking forward to an update with Windows 6.5.3 and Office 2010. I am a fan and contributor from your LG Incite ROMs. Thanks! Rick

I tried to flash with the eXpo ROM, I followed the intructions, but it didn't work and I can't download the IQ flasher because of the death of download link.
Can you please reupload it?
Thanks

As I saw in oneof your other posts you are using a GM750. This isn't even the same phone as the eXpo or IQ. You're not going to be able to flash one of these roms to your phone. There are hardware differences and software differences that prevent this.

When that happens it should still go into emergency download mode even though the screen might not say it. Try it again and run the update.

help with flashing
I cannot complete the flasing process im using windows 7 an cannot get pass step 7 as windows is unable to install the drivers properly. Is there a way to manual install the drivers ? The phone will go to the emergency download screen and the comp just says "driver instalation was unsuccessful ". Looking in the device manager i can see the LG USB MODEM with the ! of a failed instal. Any help would be much appreciated.

The drivers do have their own installer, you should be able to find it in one of the sub folders of c:\users\all users\lgmobileax

thx xdapants i did find the drivers but this did not fix the issue. It seems to be a connection problem with phone and comp (a common problem it would seem) do i`ve orderd and am still waiting for a new cable and hope this is the simple fix im looking for. However, if like i suspect this still does not work can i flash from memory card ? i think this was possible with the htc kaiser (best phone ever) or if not can i flash over a bluetooth connection ?

I don't believe it's possible to flash an lg phone from the memory card, at least not at this point. And as the phone needs to be in download mode, flashing over BT wouldn't be possible.
Consider trying a different USB port; ideally on the opposite side of the computer if you haven't already.
Hopefully the replacement cable will work for you. It seems to be the phone doesn't like being used as a storage device, but that shouldn't really have any bearing the download mode connection.

Im trying to flash my IQ to the latest Dragonstorm ROM and got a error with a load of Chinese characters and something about a server error. Did i miss anything? I got it to see my device and it was put into emergency download no probs. I just a bit reluctant to not wanting to brick my phone

did you extract to the correct location?

Help....going crazy....losing mind :(!!!

My ATT TILT 2 is a broken mess as far as the earpiece and microphone go, so I setup a return to AT&T.
I need to flash the stock ROM. I have it.
I just can't get my phone to connect to damn activesync!!! I have Windows MObile Device Center 6.1 Windows 7 64 bit.
I have uninstalled, reinstalled, everything. Going nuts!
I plug in my phone, select ACTIVE SYNC, then my phone connects and installs the driver "REMOTE NDIS INTERNET SHARING BLAH BLAH" anyway!!!
I uninstalled/removed/disabled this driver, but it keeps coming up no matter what i pick!!?! ANYONE WITH ANY HELP I WILL BE SOOOOOO HAPPY!!!!!
I was supposed to mail this phone back yesterday but I can't even flash the ROM AHHHHHHHHH

You were supposed to mail it back on a Sunday?

You don't need Windows mobile device center to flash.
1. Go into the bootloader.
2. Plugin your usb (you should see usb at the bottom of the phone)
3. Flash true your pc (customruu.exe)
This is way easier then using active sync of WMDC

No, you don't get it. It loads the internet sharing driver no matter what - it will not load the activesync driver.
I know I don't need the software to load a ROM, but the customruu.exe just displays connection errors because it's ALWAYS installed as the RDIM INTERNET SHARING DEVICE

Have you tried flashing via the storage card?
from the FAQ:
Flashing Via MicroSD Card
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the Rhodium Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to RHODIMG.nbh
4. Copy the RHODIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.

And a TP2 on AT$T?

Unreal. can't do anything. Tried multiple computers, SD Card won't work, this is pathetic.
F this phone

It always always always becomes a modem...on every single computer...>even when i clearly select "activesync" ---- fml!

Finally got it working.
Put Sim Card back in, accepted the network connection instead, connected via Media Net. Then I disconnected, unplugged USB, replugged, then did activesync and it worked.
No idea why. None. It worked. Yay. What a hassle!

[GUIDE] Install Windows 8 to a Tablet/Slate from USB

A lot of people have asked me in the past, how can I use my Samsung Series 7 Slate to run the latest Windows 8 (originally Dev Preview when I first released this) and actually I have been seeing it more often that people can't figure out how to get it on their Slate...
With that being said, I recommend you visit my updated post on my Blog that reflects Windows 8 RC here install & my blog contains other Windows 8 (and WP7) related content if you're bored. Otherwise to save you time, below is the steps/full blog post and a video created (This is my video from my YouTube Channel "TechMeShow", I permit the video being here) regarding making the USB Stick, which is old news but still people continue to ask and really get hundreds of views due to Google Searches.
ISO US-ENGLISH DOWNLOADS
Download 64-Bit US-EN Windows 8 Release Preview Here (ISO)
OR
Download 32-Bit US-EN Windows 8 Release Preview Here (ISO)
HOWTO Install Windows 8 Release Preview on MOST Tablet/Slate's
1). Download the edition of Windows 8 you want.
Tip: Download ISO from above.
2). Grab the Microsoft USB Disc Creator ('Should' use a USB Stick + Available USB Slot)
Tip Link: Microsoft USB Disc Creator Download Page. Video below.
3). After you use the Disc Creator, pop in the USB Stick to your computer and DO NOT RUN INSTALL ON WINDOWS 7 (We want it on a Tablet/Slate, remember?).
4). Now, reboot the tablet/slate, hit the Home Screen button only 1 time (give it a moment, don't rush, it'll happen) and select the USB Stick
Tip: To navigate up and down, select the left (or varies on device) Up/Down Volume Control and once selected, press the "Screen Lock".
5). Product Key: TK8TP-9JN6P-7X7WW-RFFTV-B7QPF
6). Follow the steps for installation and your set!

If you already knew all of this, terrific. However, again and not to brag, when I get at least 200 daily visits because people can't figure out how to install Windows 8 <edition here> on a Tablet/Slate (yes pretty easy), I thought why not post it here because obviously not enough people are getting it.

Great tutorial
I Will try it now!!

To be 100% honest, I am not sure about the setup part but for the USB Disc, should be the same and just make sure you boot from USB.

Just seems to be a strange hang that (after checking various forums) seems to happen mainly on Asus laptops,
apparently concerning the NVIDIA graphics driver which needs to be updated. For the moment they've only got
a W8 driver for the Release Preview build which doesn't seem to solve the issue.

Very weird, have you tried to load the driver during setup?

I don't know wether this is a noobish question ..but can we install windows 8 on an android device ? Like on an OneX to be particular ...hmm ..ok sorry got it ...we need the right drivers which will be pretty damn hard to find .. thanks anyways

Actually, a good chance windows can just use some generic drivers. Once in Windows, I am sure a windows update could find something, windows 8 is badass at finding stuff.

Guys, the Windows 8 architecture for the images (and RTM that is out now) is for x86 processors only at this time. The Android devices are ARM based. Won't work.
Windows RT is going to support the ARM architecture, but will be a while (maybe never) before the ability to load it on Android hardware will happen.

Sorry if this has been mentioned but, you do realise you can change the title of the thread your self right? go to edit > advanced
Sent from my Samsung N130 Netbook powered by Android-x86

If Arm is currently what the devices are using, you'll need to obtain the current MSDN/RTM edition... Otherwise, if you have USB/MicroSD capabilities, you can install Windows to it and normally windows will find generic drivers but if you can get a windows display, that in itself is good news.

figured I'd bump this thread as I have a slate 7 and I'm trying to get the thing to recognize my usb disk drive. Currently I'm having no luck.
I've tried plugging the usb drive directly into the slate as well as into a powered usb hub and nothing seems to make the device see the usb drive.
The hub is good because the usb keyboard I'm using allows me to navigate the bios with the keys and what not but when I go to the boot menu, where it says usb cd drive it just says ":None" and only lists the internal hdd.
this has worked just fine with several other types of tablets but this samsung is the first to simply not recognize the drive at all. Bios settings are all factory default BTW.
Any ideas?

First I recommend you remove the stick from any device and only plugged straight in the stick.
Also, did you create the USB Stick with the Microsoft USB Stick Creator? If not, try it and also let me know what you used previously.

Win7 64bit pc does not Recognize A100 tab

I have previously have installed drivers for 3 android devices and never had a problem except now. Neither my pc or my laptop (both win7 64bit) can recognize it. I've tried changing ports (could not change cables because I do not have an extra micro usb cable), I have installed and uninstalled several times on both computers. I've even tried to see if it ewas a compatibility issue with the 64 bit sytem but when I went into setup.exe properties there was not a compatibility tab. I bought this refurbished from Walmart so Acer no longer covers it under warranty. I did buy a 2 year extended warranty that I can use as a last resort.
Is the micro usb cable suppose to seat flat against the body of the Acer a100 or can you see a portion of the metal part of the plug? Also, should I be able to wiggle the usb plug back and forth. Any assistance with this would certainly make my day. I have been working with this for 2 days now.

I'm assuming you installed the driver downloaded from Acer? My laptop is also 64-bit and it recognizes just fine after installing the driver. Yes, you can still see some metal part of the usb plug and it does wiggle, at least it does on mine.

Yes, I did download from Acer. I finally went back and reviewed the paper work that came with Tab and found that the company that refurbished for Walmart has a 90 day warranty. I have emailed there warranty support service, hopefully I will hear something from them tomorrow. The only thing I have not tried is a different usb cable which I will pick up tomorrow at good old Radio Shack. If that does not fix the problem then the problem must be in the Tab. I have installed drivers for 3 other android device on the same pc's and never had a problem. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day for me. Dealing with this issue, going to the dentist and I am suppose to get the new Vizio Co-Star so I will be setting that up and then learning how to operate it and seeing what its potential is.

I also have this problem with two Computers,Windows 7 64 Bit and Windows 8 Consumers Preview 64 Bit. Many Hours Lost trying but still unable to find a fix. It has to be a Security Issue possibly with an Exploit in the USB Driver Software. My Resolution was to Break Out the Old Trusty Dell XP Laptop. Copy and Pasted the Same Downloaded Files to a USB Drive and used them on the XP Laptop and in Less then 5 Minutes Successful Root !

I was at Radio Shack and bought a cable for $20.00, what a rip-off I could have gotten the same cable for $4.95 from Monoprice. Anyways that was the problem and now the pc sees the device.

You can download an Ubuntu Live CD for free, and boot from it without needing to reformat / repartition your hard disk. In other words you don't need to install it, just reboot run the commands you need, take the disc out, boot back to windows and done.
I put together this package that simply includes adb and fastboot, it will install them automatically and allow you to run them with ease.
Download here:
android-cmdline-tools.zip
Instructions:
Boot into your Live Ubuntu CD (or other distro)
Download the above package
Open your terminal emulator (i.e. Gnome Terminal, Konsole, Terminator, etc) do the following:
Code:
cd /tmp && unzip ~/Downloads/android_cmdline_tools.zip
*If you downloaded to a different location you need to correct the path, I used ~/Downloads as it is the typical download location on linux for Chrome and Firefox.
After the file is unzipped you should have the android-cmdline-tools directory in /tmp/android-cmdline-tools
Now lets install adb and fastboot:
Code:
cd android-cmdline-tools && sudo bash ./install-linux.sh
(may request your password if you are on a live cd then it shouldn't, however if it does leave it blank, otherwise you should type your users password)
This will prompt you to make sure you wish to install. Enter Y to install, any other key to abort
If this succeeds, you will now have adb and fastboot ready to run on your device
On linux you shouldn't need any special drivers for these tools to work with the A100 so this package is a small convenient download that is quick to install and use the tools, and should come in handy for usage via Live CD/DVD to access your A100 or most other android devices through adb/fastboot
Good luck and hope this helps!

linuxsociety said:
One quick solution would be to grab an Ubuntu Live CD download and reboot your computer into the Live installation, download the adb and fastboot files for linux. You usually can get them in packages aimed at flashing recovery so you don't have to download the entire Android SDK. Ubuntu shouldn't have a problem seeing your A100 without the need for any drivers or modifying any .ini files. This is an alternative, so that you don't have to wipe your Win7 install. just keep a Live CD for linux laying around, they usually come in handy!!
Actually now that I am thinking of it I'll just make a package named A100-cmdline-tools.zip that contains both adb and fastboot for both windows and linux. Maybe it will come in handy for some of you guys

edited that post, made a Linux android-cmdline-tools.zip package that includes both adb and fastboot and will install them for you. May be a handy .zip file to keep laying around for your PC, small size and easy for a quick download too if your on Live CD. I also have the Windows adb.exe and fastboot.exe files as well as the required .dll's in the zip, I just haven't made an installer for windows (yet - will be install-windows.sh) .

Change the option to File Transfer from the popup/notification on your phone when you connect it to the PC. It works for me.
EDIT: If it still doesn't change, check the adb drivers.

i am not getting any popup.

Check the sliding switch on the right hand edge of the op3 is "down" to allow ALL notifications. There are plenty of "install OP3 drivers" videos on Youtube. Windows drivers are also on the phone.
This should still work - the drivers are also supplied on the phone. Doing nothing other than connecting a op3 to a windows pc should cause a cd drive to appear in Windows Device Manager and in File Explorer (look under "This PC") for "CD Drive (drive letter: OnePlus Drivers" . Double Click the icon and run "OnePlus_USB_Drivers_Setup.exe". If you are running a recent version (and clean installed in the last few months) of W10 Pro then you may hit driver signing issues
