Hack your LG ENV/2 LX9100 Keybo cell phone. Step by Step.

Have you ever wanted to add free Ringtones to your LG ENV (Keybo) but just couldn’t
find enough information to do it? I’ve read hundreds of pages on the topic and kept
on getting the same old answer “It’s not possible”.

It’s very possible, and it’s not very hard, once you know how. But before I start, I
need you to realize the following:

I am not responsible, nor is this website for the outcome of data loss or damage to
the phone you are about to try this on, or the computer you’ve attempted this on.

LG can void your warranty as it states in the fine print and you can actually cause
damage to your phone without wanting to. Your provider can refuse to service you.

In other words, this document is strictly for information purposes.
Now, if you do try this on your phone, remember that I can’t help you fix any problems

and you probably will have a very hard time finding anyone who can. You’re on your own.

Now that said, here are my findings:

1. Download the LG ENV driver for the VX9100 (Always scan for viruses)
I found a couple infected drivers.

2. Unzip your drivers to say: C:\LGMODEM

3. Download Bitpim 1.0.6 (www.bitpim.org)

4. Install Bitpim

5. Plug your phone using the USB cable which should have been provided
with the phone. If not, you will need to purchase one.


Once plugged in, do not select anything. Leave the phone alone.

Windows at this point should be asking you to install a driver. Install the driver properly.

This is the driver from, step 1 and 2.

>> Although not required, unplug the USB cable and reboot your system.

Once the system is rebooted and you are back in your desktop, plug the phone back in (DO NOT SELECT ANYTHING, LEAVE THE PHONE ALONE).

At this point, if you are successful, nothing should happen. If it prompts you to install the driver again, you either did not install the driver properly, or the driver you downloaded for your phone is not the correct one. You will need to do Step 1 to 7 again.

1. Run BitPim

2. Click on the EDIT tab at the top and then SETTINGS

3. Click on PHONE WIZARD

4. Click on Verizon Wireless (Even if you are using Telus) and then LG and then LG- VX8800 (VENUS).

I did this by mistake, and it worked great for me. Now click on the NEXT button
Select the right comport, mine is on COM4, yours will most probably be another
one.

6. Click on the FINISH button (NOT DETECT PHONE) and after click on the OK button

7. Click on the VIEW tab at the top of the screen and then click once on the VIEW
FILESYSTEM.

A check will appear next to it.

RINGTONES:

On the left side of the screen you should see a new option called:
Filesystem with a little filing cabinet icon.

Click on it. The on the column next to it, you will see a blue folder with a little + symbol.

Click on the + and wait for about 1 minute.

Be patient, Information will populate. (Takes time)

Click on the + symbol in front of BREW, then the + symbol in front of shared and then click on RINGTONE.

Now in the larger area of the screen which will appear blank

(If you never downloaded any ringtones, if not you will see your downloaded ringtones)

Right click in the large area and then click on NEWFILE and select your ringtone. Once you’re done, right

click again and click on REBOOT Phone.

Your new ringtone should be on your phone now and ready for you to use.

WALLPAPER:

On the left side of the screen you should see a new option called: Filesystem with a little filing cabinet icon.

Click on it. The on the column next to it, you will see a blue folder with a little + symbol. Click on the + and wait for about 1 minute.

Information will pop up. (Takes time)

Click on the + symbol in front of FLASH, then the + symbol in front of UI and then click on WALLPAPER.

The Larger area of the phone will display 3 Flash Wallpaper files (SWF).

Do your self a huge favor and right click on each one of them and then click on SAVE. Once you have them saved to your computer, put them on a memory stick and store them somewhere safe.

These are your backups, you never know when you will need these.

Now you can upload your new Flash Wallpaper.

Remember, people can write terrible code embedded in Flash that can do all kinds of strange things to your phone.

If you’re like me, you will create your own Flash screens.

BE CAREFUL. Another thing to note, save your flash screens in Flash 6 using 320 x 240pixels screen size.

I’m going to remind everyone, that the steps above can cause serious damage to your phone.
