Chinese Phone - Port English - LG GW825V

Hallo Drag, recently i bought two LG GW 825V model Phones from Hong Kong which comes with Chinese language. I thought that i can change the language to English by flashing your 23568 ROM. I fallowed all the instructions for windows 7 coz i use it to flash. But of no use. I have gone through thoroughly of your instructions and i tried to flash with different Roms like EXPO as well as with IQ. It's not flashing after 4% and a message the connection between phone and computer are lost. I Got fed-up. coz i tried a lot . CAN YOU PLEASE HELP TO GET FLASH OF AN ENGLISH ROM ON MY LG GW 825V'S Please.

Sounds like you are trying to flash using Vista. Are you trying to flash using Vista?

Sorry, but 99% of the time when it fails at 4% with a communication error it's because someone tried to flash using Vista. I'm thinking it may not work because the flasher isn't recognizing the model number for your phone since it is GW825v. The model number for the eXpo is GW820 and the model number for the IQ is GW825. If you can get a copy of the original flasher for the GW825v I may be able to get you a working flasher.


I am new to this LG Phone Dark but very old for windows mobile right now i am using htc hd2. and i don't no how to get a original flasher for 825V any suggestions please?

I'd assume Jayant won't be able to find the executable without the phone as I had to dig separately for the iq rom and didn't see any reference to expo files.  


@Hared: Install Microsoft's Network Monitor** (its free - netmon from now on, im lazy ) http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=983b941d-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 Dark linked you to, and have it check for updates for your phone.

...I assume it'll fail to find any updates. Go back to network monitor and stop capturing traffic.

You can then either browse through the captured traffic in netmon directly, and see if you can find a url yourself; or save the capture file and post it here and I or someone else will look through it.

**If you're familiar with wireshark you could use that instead of netmon.
First of all thank you and Dark for your kind co-operation. And i just fallowed your instructions. Here i am attaching the captured network monitor file for your reference.I always need Darks and Your help. please help me.
