for LG 5450
PLEASE
Backup your phone before making any modifications to it!!!
I cannot be responsible for anything that happens to your phone
while using this software
For
troubleshooting tips, please refer to the main page troubleshooting
link.
Installing
the Drivers - Straight through USB Cable:
- Purchase a USB cable if
you haven't already. Get one (and other cool stuff) here in my
eBay Store!
- Before you plug in your
USB to your PC, you need to install the USB Drivers.
- Run the USBInstaller.exe
in the root directory of the Super CD, select VX6000 from the list.
- Alternate drivers...
- lgdrivers.exe
in the root directory of the Super CD.
- setup.exe
in the Alternate Drivers folder of the Super CD, select the LG 4400
from the list.
- Finish the driver installation
and connect the cable to your computer and phone.
- Windows will recognize
the device and add it as a modem in Device Manager.
Installing
the Drivers - Prolific Cable (blob in the middle of cable):
- Purchase a USB cable if
you haven't already. Get one (and other cool stuff) here in my
eBay Store!
- Before you plug in your
USB Cable to your PC, you need to install the USB Drivers.
- Run the PL-2303
Driver Installer.exe in the root directory of the Super CD.
- If you have trouble with
the previous driver, there are several other versions on the disk.
- Finish the driver installation
and connect the cable to your computer (do not connect the phone).
- Windows will recognize
the cable as a device and add it as a Com Port in Device Manager.
- Verify which Com Port
this is set to.
Determining
the Port - Straight through USB Cable only:
Many people that request
support for this always skip this step. For any program to talk to your
phone, the program will need to know what COM Port is assignned to the
phone device in Device Manager. Example is for Win XP.
- Right Click your My Computer
Icon, select Manage
- Click on Device Manager
on the left
- On the right, click the
+ sign next to modems (you should see your phone listed there)
- Right click on your phone
and select properties
- Click advanced
- Click Advanced Port Settings
- You will see the COM Port
setting at the bottom (write it down, you will need it later)

BITPIM:
Please Backup your
phone!
- Load BitPim
- Go
to Edit -> Settings -> and point your COM to the COM Port your
LG 5450 is attached to.
- Click on Filesystems
tab, then click on + (as one would do in Windows Explorer)
You can use the steps below or click Data, get phone data and figure
out the rest from there or by looking at the VX9800 instructions. There
is more detail there. when this was written, bitpim had just updated
their program to fully support the 5450 so manipulating the phone via
the steps below is not necesarry but still possible.
To
Download Camera Images:
- Click on the +Dcam directory
- Click on the +Review
directory
- Right click on the Files
you want, and click save.
- Exit Bitpim and Delete
Files on LG 5450 using the phone, not PC
To Upload Images and Ringtones
onto LG:
You must associate each .desc with their proper *.jpg/png/gif/mid file.
(use a hex editor if your not sure which the .desc file is assocated
to)
You MUST rename your *.jpg/png/gif/mid
file that you want to upload, to the filename "body".
You must FIRST download a .desc file from any of the directories in
the +usr directory to your PC. Make sure you know which .desc file is
associated to which file format. If you want to add a ring, download
a ring .desc file. If you want to add a wallpapers, download
a wallpaper .desc file.
- Open Bitpim, click on
Filesystem tab, click on +
- Click on +usr
- Click on +Wallpaper (or
+Ringtone for midi files)
- Rightclick on Wallpaper
and select "Make subdirectory"
- Name the directory of
the image file (ie. Ferrari car)
- Go to the new directory.
- Right click on the new
directory and select "New file"
- Upload
"body" to the new directory you created
- Download a .desc from
any of the other directories to your PC
- Upload that same .desc
to your directory containing your "body" file
Power down and power up phone. The image or sound file should be in
the directory you put it in.
If this does not work, you have an issue w/ the .desc file and
need to follow these instrucions:
Instructions:
- Note the .jpg/.mid/.mp3/.png/.gif/.qcp
file size (ie. 12345 bytes)
- Rename that file to "body"
- Download any .desc file
from the LG 5450 +usr directory
- Open the .desc file with
WinHex (on the cd) or any other hex editor.
- Delete all the 00's starting
from the end until file size reads 156 bytes
(you should end up at offset 9B after deletion)
- At offset 08, this is
where the File Index field starts. Change the value at offset 08 to
a number that is DIFFERENT from the other .desc values at offset 08
in the directory where you wish to upload your file. Otherwise if
two .desc files in the same directory have the same numbers at offset
08, then you'll have the same label names and you won't be able to
assign you Wallpaper or Ringtone properly.
- Now make sure your content
type matches your file. ie. content type "image/jpg" should
match your .jpg file you wish to upload and so forth.
- At offsets 00 01 and
02, input the combined total byte size of both the .desc file (ie.
156 bytes) and the body file (ie. 12345 in our example) = 12501 bytes,
in hex format = D5 30
http://www.ccie.org.uk/resources/hexconv.php
- Save the modified .desc
file.
- Upload the modified .desc
file and associated body file into their respective directories
- DONE!!!
With an MP3, the only thing you have to do is change the content type
of within the .desc file, using a Hex editor, to "audio/mp3".
The max size is 2 MB minus what ever you have loded into your "do
more" directory.
