Hello,
I know there is a procedure for updating the phone on Windows Vista, but I'm asking myself if someone tried to do an update from a Windows XP virtual machine (as those machines can access to the USB)?
In a nutshell :
Windows Vista real computer
--> Running VMWare Workstation 6
----> Running Windows XP Pro
------> Updating the ROM of the phone
Thanks !

Well, I do this with XP running virtually in Mac OSX through a similar program called Paralells - works like a champ. NOt exactly what you are asking, but close.
I use VMWare 6 in my Vista PC for flash using XP OS before WDCM was launched... and works great...
Now i continue using to flash my Wizard in XP Box trough Virtual Machine cause upgrade tool for Wizard is not compatible with Vista...
So you can use to flash what you want, sure.
Regards.
Thanks for your experiments This will be a super trick for updating my hermes without having to worry about windows vista drivers things!
Thanks!
works like a charm ive been using it since january and i always updaye my roms in it and parallels
dont understand post,

Did you guys configure something special in VMware? My VM'ed XP doesn't find the phone (Wizard) over USB, I just get an error in the RUU...
I'm running XP Pro 32bit in VMware 6 on Vista 64bit. Didn't change anything in the VMware configuration... Any ideas?
Not to horribly change the subject, but why not make sure your phone is supercid and flash from an sd card?
I have used this method many times from my Mac desktop, instead of getting out my XP Laptop.
at the very least:

ROM flash through VMWare with a hackintosh/osx86/hackint0sh
Just a little note for anyone searching
You can also flash from a VMWare XP virtual machine in OSX on a hackintosh
I already have downloaded sdk for linux but cannot find any instructions on how to install that plus correct drivers so that ubuntu recognizes my evo. Any suggestions please?
Click me if you want to install the Android SDK on Ubuntu Linux
From Android SDK site

I just went thru this yesterday. Need to install the jdk first.
I believe Ubuntu has the USB drivers and will recognize the phone when you connect it. It did for me.

hey guys...
it sucks so hard.
My setup:
Ubuntu 14.04 x64
Windows 10 in Virtualbox
LG G3 (stock 5.0)
My goal:
Flash latest kdz (marshmallow) with a tool available for linux.
-or-
Update my phone to Marshmallow using LG Mobile Support Tool / LGUP / LG PC Suite in a Windows10-VM on Ubuntu host.
My status:
Linux: Did not find any flashing tool which works with Linux.
VM:
Windows 10 - check.
LG tools - up and running.
But... Neither Windows nor - of course - the different LG tools recognize my phone.
It seems that Ubuntu will correctly recognize the G3 when it's connected as PTP-device.
Same with "adb devices". The celly is only recognized when connected via ptp.
Strange: Though not listed with adb devices I can access my files over mtp...
Unmentionable that the whole bunch of the windows tools seem only to work when device is connected correctly via mtp.
Is really the only way to run this update finding a windows-buddy?
Solutions, anyone? #desperate
"Work-Around":
Today the ota-update was rolled out. Next problem was that my phone is encrypted and the update can only be installed when the phone isn't encrypted. So: Decryption in progress.
But: I'm still interested in a solution for the ones who a working with linux.
I've tried to upgrade an (old) LG D605 using the windows Flash Tool under a VirtualBox VM (running Windows 10) and using the drivers linked in that website (after setting UP VBox to use the phone USB device in the guest), worked as expected.
Try vmware or parallels
