Hello Everyone!
My name is Rui, I'm from Portugal.
I've serached the forum to see some things for my phone: LG Cookie KP 501, but I haven't seen anything.
I've talke with a friend that have a 32 Gb IPhone, I've asked him things about the phone, he said that if I have a phone like LG, didn't worst thinking about geting a IPhone, I could update mine and get good software.
The point of all this, is that he told me about this forum and I would like to update my phone to an Androis OS, so I can install great things there.
Can anyone help me out?
I think that it is to old and to simple to get clearly visible more as you already have.

But, is it possible to install android system on it, or at least can I update it?

I am thinking of getting this phone. But before doing so, I would like to know if there are any developers who would be building ROMS for this phone etc. Since the GM750 will be running on WM6.5, I'm sure there would be developers who would be cooking roms for the GM730 also. And is this phone the same as other windows mobile phones? Meaning able to install ROMS and CAB files etc?
The price is very reasonable compare to other WM phones. And that would make it fun to just buy the phone and play around with cooking ROMS into it.
It is upgradeable to 6.5 from company itself. U can upgrade it from Service Centers.

Where did you get this info? I saw an upgrade to 6.5 only for Chinese users.
LG GM730f WM 6.5 update ROM from LG?
I got an email from LG Australia that this is ready for download/update - but have not got it working so far
Search google for "Trying to install lgs wm6.5 update to gm730f" for my post
I'm also having trouble.
Just spoke to LG support who are aware of the problem!
They will apparently post me a disc with the ROM, so i'll let you guys know if that happens!
LG GM730f - Factory Default raw files Dumped
Hi All,
Just in case anyone would like a working copy of the default factory RAW files I have managed to successfully download these using the ItsUtilBin tools.
Would I be correct in thinking that I might then be able to use one of the Kitchen utilities to create this in to a ROM update?
Hopefully I'll get time to contact LG tomorrow - I wonder if they will be kind enough to use FTP? ;-)
Cheers,
Dave

Hi HughJarse (nice handle BTW )
Any ideas who you spoke to? LG are now denying this - I could give you an FTP to post to if you do get a copy?
Cheers,
Dave
****RETRACTION****
Apparently someone in LG Aust does know about the 6.5 update and the latest knews is that someone from LG Technical is supposed to be ringing me this afternoon with details?
I didn't catch the name of the person i spoke to, but I'll certainly be happy to help you if I get a copy of the ROM!

Hi Dave
Did LG get back to you yet, because I'm still waiting!?
No joy as of 30th Jan ;-(
Hi Hugh
So although they did know about the 6.5 upgrade it *appears* that it wasn't *approved* by Telstra - or at least that's what I was told.
They also seemed to understand that their upgrade process wasn't all it could be? Head over to the other thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5480790 and keep an eye on things?
It's well worth downloading the Service Manual for the GM730f LOL

Hi Dave
Thanks for the heads up and the link
I'd be quite happy to use a custom ROM because I'm getting increasingly frustrated and P**sed off with LG and telstra!
SPB Software

In the meantime I'm trialing some of the SPB Software and it makes it look a whole lot more usable - but I can't wait to get something decent on the phone - OR it's up on ebay and I'll be looking for a Samsung replacement...!!
Stupid question, but what's SPB?!
I spoke to someone from LG yesterday and she was trying to tell me the update comes from microsoft. Sigh.
Theres not much hope when the company that makes the phones has reps answering calls who talk out of their A**e!
I'm beginning to wish i'd done a bit more research before i got this phone

thanks, I'll check it out
Just installed SPB (found it at the site of the little green demon)
looks good, but how do you get it to start every time you turn the phone on?!
forget that, just worked it out!
Hello lads... I am new here and i have a hard time figuring out what to do...
Here it goes.. I bough an Iphone clone almost 1 year ago and i want to flash it.. the problem is that i only know its brand (its a Daxian x999+) and it has WM..
I dont know what tolls to use and furthermore wich OS is compatible... any help will be great
After a quick flick through the forums I'd say you wouldn't have much luck here, particularly as the main focus is HTC Phones. I don't know how compatible the hardware on your phone would be with anything manufactured by HTC. You could always try searching the forums with "Daxian" and see what you can turn up, there seemed to be a little bit of discussion but no real solutions.
Best of luck.
I doubt very much, in fact im pretty sure, that you wont find any roms that will work with your device im afraid, your best friend here is google......
I'm wondering if anybody can help me with rooting a Sharp IS01. It's an Android phone recently released by au in Japan and there is a re-branded model shortly coming out with Docomo.

Please post here if you find out anything. I'm interested in the possibility of upgrading Android on new Sharp phones. Especially if this can help use the gadget (not really a keitai) on another operator, not just DoCoMo.
Don't know if it's locking or just plain incompatibility, but the IS01/SH-10B seems to be stuck with 1.6 and the Netwalker, for example, with Ubuntu 9.04. Same thing goes about older devices running WM.
IS01 has been rooted.
Have you got anymore details or a link?
Can't you use Google?
It's possible to install a ubuntu version on this device?
I tried to find something on google, but i find only a few links to xda forums, where someone ask about this device, and many links to articles to the launch of this device on japan, etc etc, but nothin useful.
Got something but it's in japanese and translated pages are a little weird (bad translata I think).
I wonder if someone here will start some project....
New year, good news
Someone ported froyo on this device, but like usually tha page is full japanese so I can't understand nothin.
Use google translate
www44. atwiki .jp /is01 rebuild/
The adress is modified because I'm a newbie and i can't post links, but I think this news will be userfull fot the is01 owners.
I hope mods can forgive me this time (and even my horrible english)
hi, sorry to post it here, but probably any of you guys here have experience with sharp galapagos from softbank? the 3d naked eye is really tempting. however, i`ve been googling for a while and it seems like i can not do anything with it. tightly seal, locked.... is it? has it been unlocked?
thanks
I just got an HTC HD 2 today from a friend, and it already has a version of android on it. I dont know how to replace the android files without messing up the phone. Can someone help or walk me through this?
i know this aint help but have u tried the hd2 section
also is your name from coheed and cambria lol!
I have looked through the section and I cant find anything on how to replace the files. Yes it is. The greatest band ever!
sry i dont know anything about the hd2 and yes sir you are correct i just saw them in dallas for the neverender tour 4 hours of nothing but coheed it was amazing my 3rd show i may add new orleans, little rock, and dallas!
you shld be able to ask the same question in that thread im sure someone will be able to help
If your friend was so generous to give you that nice piece of hardware I´m sure he can guide you to replace the Android OS with that Microsoft crap. Your friend has invested some time and energy in the modification of his phone so he would be interested in having you enjoying it, too, wouldn´t he?
To be able to help it would be useful to know if android rom is nand (ie has replaced the original wm6.5 os) or is running from sd card.
When you boot up the phone, does magldr load?
I would suggest you do go over to the hd2 forum and look at the sticky threads, tey have all the info you will need to change/update android to something newer or even change os completely to say wp7?
If your droid is nand, it is very simple to update, just head over to the HD2 nand forum
Cheers.
Thank you everybody for being kind and not throwing noob slanders at me. The friend who gave me the phone actually bought it off of someone who put android on it haha so this nice phone is a hand-me-down for sure.
Hi there, firstly I hope I'm posting in the correct place but if I'm not please accept my sincerest preemptive apologies and feel free too relocate me to the appropriate thread.
Here's my saga, I recently got a Cubot C9+, it's a genuinely good phone which I'm quite happy with however it's not without problems. It came with Android 4.2.2 installed, after getting it I ran the manufacturers update however a lot of my SMS messages are not getting to me, I have tried everything including new sim, alternative SMS apps etc and still no joy at all. On top of that it is a little laggy, I'm wondering if theres any alternative Operating Systems I can use on it? I found some fantastic roms for my old Xperia X8 and X10 mini pro but there doesn't seem to be much for this phone, I wouldnt mind downgrading to an older operating system either. I would prefer not to have to mess about with the firmware if possible as I managed to brick a phone or two in my past and just dont have money for another one right now.
Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated and again sorry if I have posted in the wrong place.
Many thanks
-Larry
