How to get the LG Mobile Support Tool to install - T-Mobile LG G2x

I know there are at least a few of you out there besides myself having trouble getting the LG updater to install properly.
I feel pretty dumb for being stuck of this for two days trying to get the new baseband, but the updater just needs a direct internet connection. I was connected to a proxy server, so I tried the install just now with a mobile hotspot from the g2x itself and voila! Who knew? Everybody?

Enough of this bull, I'm returning my Touch Pro 2

(Edit - I finally fixed this issue. No more bull. See latest post from me in this thread)
I have been trying for months to get Tethering or Internet Sharing to work on this device. Every hack, every edit and every .cab install I tried has not helped. There has to be something wrong with this phone.
The following is copied from another forum I posted in.
-Quotes=THE-COPS
I did the DUN removal in service menu. that is , removing "dun" from "[email protected]" . Restarted phone, started internet sharing (with internet sharing cab hack), and connected. Go to open Internet Explorer on XP, the page actually starts to load ..... but then stops doing anything after about a few KB of data .. and then refuses to connect to any site afterwards. Tried Opera on XP, nothing. I only get Network errors like there is no internet connection. Disconnected and re-connected. Still .. network errors and no page loads. Disconnect. Try tethering instead of internet sharing, again. Add the extra modem strings like was suggested. It dials, Error, there was a hardware failure in the modem. Try again,.... hardware failure... try again, wait......wait .....wait.... it just sits there while still saying "Connecting". 2 minutes pass.. still "Connecting". Hit disconnect... and it sits there forever saying "Disconnecting". I close out that window. I disconnect and restart phone and PC. Try again, no difference. Remove the strings, no difference. Go into modem config and then diagnostics window. Query modem, Error, modem failed to respond ..repeat 4 more times... on the 5th try it says "Success" and gives a list of usable strings. I decide to "Query modem" again. Error.. modem failed to respond. I repeat and it will say "Success" every 2nd or 3rd try.. every other time its a dumb error.
Keep in mind I tried with the stock data cable and it made no difference. And yes, the USB ports are 2.0 compliant and work very well.
In the following, I copied a series of lines from the Modem log. I used "L" in place of of the date to avoid having to type so much out.

I never went through so much bull and STILL not get my internet on my PC. I hope VZ has another unit in stock because I AM swapping this.
Have you considered just tethering via WiFi? I use WMWiFi Router without issue. I just re-installed after upgrading to 6.5 (MR1). It took me about 5 minutes to load ICSInstall and WMWiFi Router and be up and running. It worked just as well with the stock 6.1 ROM.
If you can't do it with WiFi, maybe try PDANet? (Haven't used it with the [email protected])
ya take ur panties out of the knot you've tied them in and just use wifi router. jeez
I cant afford Wifi hardware right now.. I figured it would come to this. I also didn't feel like spending $100 on wifi **** only to find out it will probably do the same thing as IS and tether. I think there is a problem with the internal ethernet adaptor. If that is so, then Wifi wont work either. Thank you for your opinion ... and thanks for the help secretagentman.
The ICS/Modem cab works perfectly on my VZW TP2... Just make sure the network connection is set to Verizon Wireless and it's all good. No settings to change, nothing to adjust, just plug in and go!

PdaNet works very well on the TP2 in tethered mode. It has wifi capability, but use the USB cuz my wifi is kinda funked up. Highly recommended!

Yep, try PDANet with a USB cable if you don't have WiFi. Haven't used it with the TP2, but used it all the time with my XV6800 on VZ!
This is free and works. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4170499
I decided not to go to VZW today. Someone convinced me that a USB WiFi card will work. It's not that much so I wont be breaking the bank.
I have always known about PDAnet. I don't see any reason to use it unless you're using a dumbphone and using WAP. I already pay VZW for data, why would I want to pay AGAIN for PDAnet? Thanks for the tips everyone. It's not this phone, don't get me wrong... the Touch Pro 2 is the best damn phone I have ever owned.. aside from the tethering to the PC problem. I would never trade it in for some other phone at VZW. I thought there has to be a defect in either the internal Ethernet adaptor or the internal RNDIS adaptor. There shouldn't be all these connection problems... my Q9M tethered without ANY problems, and I left it online all night.
Try the software i listed. It is free. Dont pay extra for a usb broadband plan
WMWiFiRouter works just fine using the WiFi connection -- however, I have had numerous issues with the USB tethering.
WMWiFiRouter isn't that expensive and it works. I do not have any opinion on the other suggestions since I've had WMWiFiRouter for a long time.
I have found out the the CM_Guardian_Service is the culprit when it comes to the USB tethering.
HTH
WMWifirouter is the way to go..tether via WiFi, USB or Bluetooth. Can't be beat!!
I'm confused. What's wrong with the HTC WiFi router? It's free and works great! -For Sprint at least...
I'm going to try the free one first. Actually there are 2 free Wifi apps. If the free works, then I saved a few bucks.
A Mod friend over at Smartappsworld is sending me a spare usb wifi unit. Thank you again Paul. Hopefully I can get it to work. If it does, I WILL be so relieved. I spent months just trying to get the other crap to work. I never know if it's something on the phone, or something with my computer. My PC is aged, but I keep the software up to date. The thing with XP is, it's getting too old to update. Seems like it just gets more complicated and creates more problems.
And as for CM Guardian, I disabled that long ago when I was trying to install different versions of Opera Mobile. Hasn't been running ever since.
ICS/Modem cab works perfect on my TP2 (TELUS).
My first TP2 worked in minutes of the install. The replacement phone, Bluetooth died after a week, ICS would not work. I tried everything! I thought I was losing my mind. I could not figure out why it would not work. Then I read a small detail somewhere... you have to have the SIM card in the phone or it will not work. When I picked up my replacement phone the tech never installed the sim card when he activated it. In fact he suggested I don't bother putting it in. He said to just purchase one in the place you are traveling to. I didn't care either way, I don't travel much. Once I found that little detail I inserted the sim card and PRESTO everything worked, still does.
Good luck!
I use WiFi Hotspot myself and it works every time. I did pay 25.00 for the program but it was worth every penny. I use it with my laptop and my IPOD touch when I want internet access outside of my house. It may say on their website that it does not work with Verizon but I assure you that it does as I have never had an issue connecting to the internet using the hotspot. I have had up to 3 conections at one time between my laptop, ipod and husband's laptop and we had no issues. Hope you get it working but if not I would recommend WiFi HotSpot without an issue
Update. Just got the USB WiFi device yesterday (thanks Paul). Installed software and drivers. Then installed HTC WiFi (Mobile WiFi Router) on the phone. Rebooted both. Plugged in USB Wifi, got drivers installed without hassle. Turned on Wifi app on phone and BAM, it works flawlessly. No errors... NO bull. I am SOOOOO relieved! And I might add it is much faster than that USB tethering I had on my Moto Q9M. So easy to set up , and no slowdowns whatsoever on the PC.
Thank you to everyone who helped... or tried to help. It IS appreciated.
OK, but do us Verizon users have to run the

Strange internet sharing problems...

Hi guys,
I'm having an issue with my USCC TP2 (Flashed with the latest "Neodium" rom 6.5). I cannot go online anymore using the Internet Sharing app. It gives me <none> for the connection (see attached), even though I have it set up in the connection settings page with the correct user and password and it works okay on the phone. It also is having problems with the Wifi Router app, it gets stuck on "Waiting for Connection" even after the data connects. It also won't share over bluetooth anymore, it doesn't even give me that option in the Internet Sharing. This happened a few days ago after downloading a rather large file I needed. Thought my ROM got corrupted since I was using one a 6.5.5 one so I hard resetted and it worked for a few minutes and got the same error, so I tried downgrading to a stable WinMo to no avail. I remember there being a regular USB modem driver when I had my 6800 that bypassed the sharing and connected directly. Anyone have any info on that? I use XP 32bit and Windows 7 64bit. Could USCC have sabotaged my phone or something? I am moving over the weekend and have no internet till then, so I really need it working!

Wifi connecting but not working on Driod Incredible.

Since I rooted my phone using Unrevoked, applied UnrevokedForever, and updated my phone with an RUU
I cannot get my wifi connections to work. They connect to the router just fine, require my encryption passwords, obtain an IP address but if I connect to them it is as if I am getting no data whatsoever. If I try to connect to the marketplace, it gives me a network error.
As soon as I disable wifi, my data connections work, so my 3G connection is fine. I can turn on wifi tethering and it works fine too. I followed the directions from the following thread (I cannot paste a url without permission):
"OTA 2.2 Update With Root Made Easy"
What would cause this to happen? Does anyone have any idea of how to try and fix it? I've searched and searched, and I cannot find the answer. I admit that I'm a noob, but I have been reading a lot on these forums, and I'm wondering if it had to do with the radio flash, which scares the hell out of me.

[Q] Strange Wifi/Mobile Data Issue

Ok so I have two of the universal Moto G LTE . We were running the unofficial cyanogen 11 perfectly for afew months and on one phone became unable to connect to our home wifi, shortly afterwards the other had the same issue. Flashed a LP rom but wasn't suited to the stability of it atm so settled on Slim-peregrine-4.4.4.build.9.0-OFFICIAL-8310 with Slim-Addons-full_gapps.4.4.4.build.9-20150107, and the issue was gone. However on the other phone after a wipe and clean install of the same rom and gapps the issue persisted and further would not connect to the wifi or it mobile data though still has perfect signal for calls and mms.
I'm no tech wizard but I have tried the following;
PHONE BASED
Flashed every kernel and every rom in the Moto G LTE forums (Yes ALL but not every combination)
Tried variations on the airplane mode
Fastboot erase modems1&2
Reverted to stock RETUS_XT1045_4.4.3_KXB21.14-L1.23-4_cid9_CFC.xml.zip via manual mfastboot cmnds & MotoFlash
Changed filesystems
Connected via direct IP (still no internet though it says connected)
ROUTER BASED
Reset it (Duh)
Tried a different router
Enabled/Disabled MAC Filtering
Once I realized the mobile data was out to though stopped messing with the router.
Currently it is running the above mentioned SlimKat and works wonderfully except no mobile data even with the correct APN info and fails to authenticate wifi. I'm at a loss, did the phones ethernet chip or w/e it is die maybe?
I'll provide any logs asked for if I can get them... It's my wife's phone that is having the problem meaning I really need to fix this or suck it up and buy a new one. Appreciate any help in advance and if not I understand, thats the game when messin with this stuff as a novice.
As an update, upon the monthly renewal of the data mobile data is still working. Just the WiFi is still not working.

Unable to install using Linux Deploy

Hello. Earlier today I got Linux deploy working and I booted into the os etc. But then I decided to install another distro. And it failed. So I removed both installations and went home as I was in school at the time.
Anyway to the point: ever since that I've gotten errors trying to install it again (imgur/Vrwf5sU.png) this ONLY occurs on my WiFi at home not in school nor my cellular network.
So the question is; what's wrong with my WiFi?
Thanks for the help, appreciate it. Oh BTW its the same when inside the OS, I can start it up fine if installed from another WiFi which actually allows me to download the files. But if I boot up and I'm on MY WiFi it won't connect to the WiFi at all, so obviously something with the app being refused internet for some weird reason only on my home WiFi.
Help?!?!
Does literally no one know how to fix this?
