" Hi.Of course I'll be supporting all new versions and if you will send readed flash,software later will be updated.Mostly updates are needed only for
models,not for versions,because when is clear what one or other model
represents,later software seeks for unlock data automatically.
Anyway in some cases software can unlock even not known models.
Here are some tricks what to do,if you have not supported model.At
first try to connect to mobile as "LG-L1100" or if you can't connect as
this model,try to connect as "LG-G7100" or "LG-C1200"-look here,what cable you can fit to phone,these models are main
for two CPU types,which uses LG, L1100 model is for TI CPU and G7100-C1200 is for Analog Devices CPU.If you connected to phone,read full flash
for model as L1100 and 2 flashes(full first and second) for model,connected
as G7100 or C1200.These flashes send for software updating and later
press unlock.If software will find data for unlocking,it will unlock phone,if
not-you will must wait for software's update
Regards,Vygis
P.S.All these tricks can be used only on native LG phones "

" 100% all 320 can be unlocked:
1st (5 seconds) = Connect and unlock
(if phone not unlocked or unsupported version, go to second option)
2nd (10 seconds) = connect phone and "Repair Eeprom" button)
(if phone not unlocked or unsupported version, go to thied option)
3rd (1.15 seconds) = connect phone, go to firmware section, and write LG1200 Firmware.
Thats all.
Phone MUST be unlocked.
Good luck "

"About BF3-without display,
for this repairing you can use
"Special" section of BF-BG-BH software,it has "Display type changing" function,please simply write all 3 possible types to phone.
Anyway as I know from practice sometimes reason for not working display is erased tech zone with later cloning, in such case even if you will restore display,phone later won't find card.
Just try your luck.
Cheers

- FOR THE 7050 CABLE: One 10k resistor has to be added from Vcc to pin 6 of phone and Vcc switch put on ON.
- For people in hurry: KEEP POWER ON key PRESSED during the whole Process, and it will work too...
regards,
gobi
P.S. Connections and pinouts are atached. ;)
For new supported phones L3100, C2200: Use 7050 cable, but after clicking ''Connect'' button in software, KEEP phone POWER button presse till your phone is connected.
- Also on the phone connector pin 19 MUST BE connected to GND
- Also VCC swith must be ON
The modified cable will work also for the 7050 and coresspondent phones even after the modification.

Q:
BH4 V102 CLONING ?
R:
v183500,185500 or 283500,285500 and KU20BA0 - If it is not one of this versions -- then it can be cloned
Example: this cann't be cloned
Phone type : Alcatel BH4
Phone version : 102
Subversion : KM283500H
2.
Q:
What are clone flashes for alcatel?
R:
For Be4 and Be5 no differences,everyone readed from phone flash can be used as clone.For others-clone flash is already patched and skiped second IMEI testing in the flash.
For latest versions of BG3 and BH4-every unlocked flash already can be used as clone. But this have exception-BG3 v129,12B,12C,
BH4 KM183,KM185,KM283,KM285 and KU20B can't be cloned.
3
Q:
When we use clone flashes? and when we use normal flashes?
R:
We don't use normal flashes for Alcatels, except Be4 and Be5, and latest BG3 and BH4.
All flashes for BF3,BF4,BF5,BG3,BH4 must be patched if we want to write them to phone.
4
Q:
BH4_101_KM265550_EN_FR_PERSIAN_ARABIC_Intel.cfs
If u notice here there is intel can we use this flash for amd type ?
R:
You can clone with them all BH4 735 until version KM283.
Really in BH4 735 are 2 flashes-one AMD(2 Mb) and other Thomson with Intel structure,but as main flash is INtel-I named clone flash as intel.
5
Q:
At the support there is
BH4 - OT535 Flashfiles folder
and
BH4 Cloneflashes folder
then if we want to make flash we should use flashes in clone folder?
R:
Difference is one-all process using Vygis clones comes automatically-you only need to select clone flash and later software will read bytes from tech
zone and put them to clone flash, which will be writed to phone.
Vygis cloning is almost really cloning,as It not use full tech.zone-for cloning I need only about 100 bytes from phone-everything other will go from clone flash
- We can have 2 flash parts for LG phones:
flash1 = one part of flash is code part, and the name says all
flash2 = alchemy part -contains language tables,pictures,music and etc.
It is recommended to flash both parts with 2 matching files.
1: FirmWare (FW) - use this flash for changing language but flash also the ,matching alchemy file
2: FULL flashfile - you can use this also for language change, but especially for repairing phones. Also here flash the alchemy part too.
Making Backup:
If you want to make a backup for your phone -- then read FULL flashes, and read both files (where both are avaiable).
Also would be nice if you can send this full backup and language description to gsm@cd.ro to help increase the flashfile database.
- About writing one Full Flash from one phone to another - you can repair the phones this way. It may happen that one full flash don't work with some phone versions -- then just try another Fullflash file.
- For this LG phones there is nothing like a Teh zone - you can recover it by Full flashing.
However making a backup is allways a good idea
All written here aplys for the LG native phones.
LG U8110, 8120, 8130, 8138, 8150, 8180 are a different storry.
regards,
Gobi
On the support area there are avaiable both LG U8330 and also for LG U8180 FULL FLASH for repair of dead phones.
It can be used of course also for unlocking.
NOTICE: Can be flashed at 921kb/s (~22 min)
thx to SER and DanGSM
Intructions:
1. WRITE FLASH "LG-U8330_V10_unlocked.bif" AT 921kb/s (~22 min)
2. Press "Unlock" and then "Disconnect"
3. Make Reset cu 47328545454#
Phone is unlocked..
http://www.vygistoolbox.com/download/index.php?id_producer=183&id_brand=334
How to REPAIR LG U8180:
- Press ''Connect''
- When the software asks you, connect the Testpoint to GND (picture of testpoint avaiable)
- If you want be 100% covered, you can read full flash and GDFS from the phone
- Now flash the phone with the LG U8138 Flash file V100 in support area
(Flash with ALL the flashfiles included in that arhive and NOT only the drive_cssv file , this time)
http://www.vygistoolbox.com/downloa...83&id_brand=334
Testpoints:
- Now you can press unlock, and then enter the codes.
- now you can use both old testpoint,or Cruiser testpoint
(this testpoint is same for U8180 and U8330 phones - also picture uploaded in support area)
- Improved bif flashes flashing,now all 4 flashes in BIF writer section is possible to write in 20-21 minutes.
For bif flashes writing,you need to convert ssw flashes to bif standart.
- Added selected flash files writing to INI file,you don't need to select them everytime you start the software.
- Please use 2,2 - 5,6 Ohm resistor when connecting testpoint to GND. It is more secure.
Many thx to mr. Vygis

Authot - mr Vygis:
"
Anyway let I'll explain what is difference between U8180-U8330 using testpoint and without testpoint.If we are connecting U8180-U8330 without testpoint,later is impossible to make operations with GDFS area - I mean relock,unlock and write GDFS.So when we using no testpoint methode,it is dangerous overwrite GDFS in phone,because later you will need to use testpoint to make "unlock" and in this way correct GDFS area CRC's.
If you are writing full flash to phone,you overwrites original GDFS,so for phone downgrading without testpoint you need to use so called conversion flashes,which won't overwrite GDFS area in phone.Anyway if you still like to write to phone full bif flash,you can make this also,but please before writing it,read phone's original GDFS zone,and after writing full flash,write back and this original GDFS zone."
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=217782
1 - Unlocking U8180, U8330 WITHOUT OPENING THE PHONE = WITHOUT TESTPOINT
To do this, just Flash the phone with CONVERSION FLASHES for the specific phone.
Select all 4 files from a packet, bu KEEPING THE LEFT MOUSE button pressed.
There are more CONVERSION Files sets avaiable for this phones.
After flashing, just PUT A SIMCARD IN THE PHONE, amd PRESS 2945#*88110# and enter any 8 digit code ==> and your phone is unlocked
2 - Repairing, Flashing (also you can unlock this way) - NEED to open the phone and make TESTPOINT
This refers for phones with software problems, ''software dead'' phones and phones where flashing gets interrupted during unlocking like on point nr1.
- Just USING TESTPOINT flash the phone with one of the flashfiles from support area.
AFTER this RELOCK and UNLOCK the phone, and it should be ok.
However sometimes you need to try with more then 1 flashfile to get a good result, but this cases are verry few..

MICROSNAPPER CONNECTOR:
"i tried the following connectors and all failed: sgh600 (not that bad), lg81xx etc etc
use XDA CONNECTOR works 1000% without cutting any pieces
this is the pin out:
Snapper pins..................XDA CONNECTOR.........VYGIS/ WHITE BOX color

Suggestion: Because chinese cable factories don't use on all lots same coloured wires for Rx, Tx, Gnd line --> guide yourself better on the pinout marked on the box, instead on that colours. ;)
LG 2G WHITE DISPLAY
Some people had problems with WHITE DISPLAY after flashing some LG Phones.
This is because they are 2 types of Display used in LG phones, and this mean 2 Firmware types for this display types.
For solving this problem you need rewrite all firmware for changing.
Firmwares for different displays looks like 1xx for one type,an 2xx for other display type.

LG U8180, U8330, U8380, U8360 - How to Unlock using DIRECT PATCHED FLASHFILES
Now - in order to Unlock U8330, U8180, U8380, U8360 -- you need to flash only with 2 Files:
flashes-drive_c UNLOCKED and phone_wcdma UNLOCKED
If the phones (8330, 8180) was converted before, or if any problem, then you will need to flash all 4 files.

For those with error:
Phone type : TOSHIBA 803-902T
IMEI : Unknown
Phone version : Unknown
when trying to unlock toshiba 803T and 902T, the problem has to do with choosing the wrong COM PORT.
OPEN DEVICE MANAGER
dont use any of : PORT (COM & LPT)
VODAPHONE 803T AT COMMAND PORT (COM X)
VODAPHONE 803T OBEX PORT (COMX)
rather USE:
Under Modems in DEVICE MANAGER, right click on the the "VODAPHONE 803T MODEM, then go to properties, then choose ADVANCED, then ADVANCED PORT SETTING, and use the COM port in the "COM PORT NUMBER"
You can change this port to any comport number within the selectable port number on vygis.
this is the com port that works with Vygistoolbox on these phones and not the ones Under COM / LPT settings in DEVICE MANAGER
I hope this helps.
bR
Big thanks for essojay for explanations.I want a little to improve them and include here few pictures :)
So how to select correct COMPORT for using with Toshiba software :
Go to "Start"-Settings"-"Control Panel"-"System"-"Hardware"-"Device Manager"-"Modems" and look what ComPort is selected for "Toshiba 803 modem" or for "VODAFONE 902T modem".For this do next:
- right click with mouse at "Toshiba 803 modem" or "VODAFONE 902T modem"
- in the opened submnenu select "Properties"
- in the "Properties" submenu select "Modem"
From the pictures above you can see,that correct port for software using is COMPORT 7.
Regards,Vygis
P.S.And forget about not supported versions ,as locks algo it is same for all Toshiba's from 803 to 903T.
Also please check atached instructions

BenQ 660 / 670 - O2X2 with NO DISPLAY AFTER FLASHING
Solution by mr Vygis:
'' Hi.Really you don't need EEPROM file,as software has internal eeproms included and when you make "Repair EEP" - this internal eeprom is writen to phone.You need now only to change display type.How to make this - connect phone to cable and power ON it.Press "Read type" and look what type shows software.After this try to change display type,for this select "Display : 00" and write it to phone-check if OK,if not - select "Display : 01" and write it to phone,if not OK-write "Display : 02" and "Display : 03".
Regards,Vygis ''
PROBLEM: Some Toshiba Phones shows ''VERSION: UNKNOWN'' and cannot be unlocked
SOLUTION:
''Seems,that this is not bug Anyway here are one trick,which you need to test.All credits for this trick goes to Mr.Kasner
You need to put to phone original Vodafone or Motorola test card and enter to phone's menu,later under SETTINGS --> "Connectivity" option please select "USB".
After this try to connect phone again.
Regards,Vygis''
This solution is tested and work 100%
PROBLEM: Some LG 2G phones don't power on after flashing with any flashfile
SOLUTION:
L''G phone have backup baterry for clock and etc.Sometimes,if phone was flashed with not correct flash file,this backup baterry keeps in phone RAM some ****,which not allows to power ON phone.Solution is one-to dissasemble phone,to find backup baterry and to short it or disconnect it for few minutes.If you can't find backup baterry on main PCB,you need to disconnect flex cable from flip for few minutes,because some LG phones have backup baterry in flip.
Regards,Vygis''
Thx to mr Vygis who had the big patience to write also the BASIC - Introducing level fo Usermanual:
''OK,let begin from beginning I think,that you have Vygistoolbox,so left RJ45 on box is "USB to RS232 by Vygisoft" and right RJ45 is COM.Which COM depends to what Comport on PC box is connected with COM cable.
You can choose here what port you want use,I mean you can connect to left or right RJ45.Let imagine,that you connect to left RJ45.In software ,
under "Port & Settings" select "USB to RS232 by Vygisoft" and 812500 baudrate,select phone model under "Phone type".Check that switch on box is set to "F-BUS".Now again look to software,you see,that almost all buttons are inactive,except "Connect" and software writes "Waiting for action".If to think logicaly-you need to press "Connect" as only this button is active
So press "Connect"-software write "Please power ON phone"-now press power ON on phone(phone must be connected with cable to left RJ45).Wait until bootloader will be loaded to phone,after this software reads info from phone and all buttons become active.After this choose your action again.If you need to make unlock -choose "Fast unlock" or "Read unlock code",if you want to flash phone-select by checking flashing options checkbox,what you want to flash-firmware,eeprom and full,later select flash file and press "Write flash" and etc.
If you selected before not left,but right RJ45,under "Port & Settings" select ComPort,to which box is connected and set 115200 baudrate(Windows not allows higher baudrates than 115200 without special drivers).After this do everything same like is described before.
Regards,Vygis''
IMPORTANT FOR IMEI FUNCTIONS:
Generaly, in order to help UK customers and generally customers living in countrys where imei change is a problem --> the new vygissoftwares comes with imei functions hidden (even there where this are supported)
Use CTRL+I and Alt+I in order to enable / disable this functions.
regards,
Gobi
"Software can change IMEI in 2 ways-one way is if you have normal cable with pinout,same like from support-in this case go to "Special" section,press "CTRL" and "I" at PC keyboard,after press "Read IMEI",check "Change IMEI" checkbox and write your desired IMEI to IMEI changing window,after this press "Write IMEI".Other way is if you using original USB cable remade to RJ45,for IMEI changing in this way you need
to use "IMEI Repair" function at "Unlocker" section.After phone connecting enable IMEI changing controls with "CTRL"+"I",after this check "Fix IMEI" and write your desired IMEI to IMEI changing window-after this press "Repair IMEI".

Alcatel E259 REPAIR - if new version was killed by old software.
In this case the phone restarts all time.
Text by mr Vygis:
Here I want to explain how to repair restarting Exx with new version.At first if you were using my old software for new Exx unlocking,restore phone using phone backup from folder "SP backups".Everyone time,when you use direct unlock,software creates sp zone backup and places it in folder "SP backups".You can identificate backup for your phone by IMEI number,which is included in backup file name.After backup writing,use last Exx software version Exx_1_16 and unlock phone again.If you not have backup,you need to write anyone sp backup from phone with new version,if you were unlocking new version phones with last Exx_1_16SC software,sp backups you can find in same "SP Backup" folder.If you not have such backup,I attach it here.So write it to phone using "Write backup" function and later unlock it again(of course using last Exx_1_16SC version).
ps - Added also OLD version backup - if somebody need for some repair
INSTALLATION MANUAL FOR VygisToolbox and VPower box
(NOT valid for old sentinel dongles)
a - MOST IMPORTANT: DISCONNECT ANY BOX FROM YOUR PC !!!
- Go to one of the automatic support areas:
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=253789
Download Smartcarddongle drivers for Win98 or WinXP and install (run that exe file) on your PC.
NOW Connect VygisToolbox (or VPower). It will ask also for driver for the USB part (communication).
- Download this drivers from the support area and install them.
Take care - the VygisToolboxes and Vpower boxes, using the SMALL BLACK USBox are needing on Win XP the special driver, also avaiable there.
If they are installed properly --> then you will see in ''Device Manager'' in the USB section, the VygisUSB2RS232 port component.
- Download the dongle ID reader from that site, and read the dongle ID
- If you can read the dongle id ==> then your smartcarddongle drivers are installed properly
SEND the Dongle ID to your reseller and he MUST send you the reg files for your order.
NOBODY except your reseller can provide this for you
DO NOT ASK ME FOR YOUR REG FILE !!!
AFTER YOU RECEIVE THE REG FILES FROM YOUR RESELLER:
b - Now go to one of the automatic support areas:
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=253789
Download LG supporter software, for VygisToolbox (for VPower you have to use O2 reg file and O2 supporter software) from there and copy in a separate folder
Copy LG reg file in same folder
START Now the LG supporter software --> and you get acess to the LG support area.
Download the LG softwares in different folders and copy a copy of the LG reg in each of this folders.
c- If you have buyed extra activations or full pack, then you have more reg files like Alcatel (Full pack) , O2 (Extra payed) ..., then take from same automatic support areas, the corresponding supporter software (Ex: Alcatel supporter if you have alcatel reg)... and you get access at that support areas and download and install this softwares.
d - Now your softwares should be installed, and the reg files copied in the correspondong folders ==> all is ready to run
About the USB Box, Switches, What RJ45 connector to use and rest of infos --> please read here:

First try to flash full flash(flash1+flash2 where possible)
If this still don't work, one more trick:
Look inside the phone for a small battery cell (like in *******). Disconnect it for 1 min, then solder it back. IF you don't see it, then it may be in the upper flip part of the phone. Then disconnect the connector of the flex comming from there for 1 min , and try then.
regards,
Gobi
Same manual and same instructions applyto Vpower as for VygisToolbox, only that VPower uses O2-Benq softwares and O2 reg file. You have to use the automatic support areas (check sticky post)
So read the ONLINE MANUAL POST and one more sticky post about support areas, you will find also.

hi
i have had much success performing this procedure on vygis, but i have had several handsets that the software has said all is ok, but phones imei is still the same!
To change it successfully, i had to 'repair' the imei using the box on main unlock page, i entered the desired number and then did jobs, and all was fixed with signal working too!
I'd tried all jobs prior to that, ie; flashing the phone etc, but after flashing the phone only blinked, so i had to write back up back to phone!
We want to remind you that you have 3 support areas avaiable for Vygis softwares:
1 - www.VygisToolbox.com support area for Standard and Full pack softwares
2 and 3 - the automatic support areas for all Vygissoftwares, like described here:
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=253789
If you are looking for a flashfile, please check ON ALL 3 OF THEM, because not all flashfiles are on all servers.
Yesterday the solution for unlocking NEC122 was tested with success, so prepare in the next few days for that update also.
New updates for the Vygis softwares are still to come one after another.
Despite this we try to expand as much as possible also the flashfile databas.
At this moment we have on our servers:
over 10 GB of flashdata , from this 6-7GB are ONLY THE LG flashfiles
We have just uploaded some more flashfiles on the support area (like the G1600 bluescreenrepair flash, C3380, Pantech flashes).
More flashfiles will come and we will do our best to collect more and more.
If you want more and more flashfiles in the support area --> you can also readout flashfiles from new version - or new langpack phones and sent us at info at gsm-tool.com .

DO NOT FLASH A TG800 WITH KG800 FIRMWARE!!!!!
The phone will lose the 850mhz frequency, and will not gain the 900mhz frequency. This means you will be left with a DUAL BAND phone. Only flash Tg800 with Tg800 firmware, and Kg800 with Kg800/Kg90 firmware
I give you here instructions received some time ago from a friend, how to activate your DEVICE MANAGER to show you ALL installed drivers, even for the devices not connected to your pc at that moment.
If you actually right-click the device in Device Manager and select Uninstall, the device and its associated drivers will be removed.
But, if you just remove the device, it will disappear from the Device Manager, but may leave the drivers behind.
Those drivers, aside from taking up space, could later be found to contain vulnerabilities and expose your system to compromise
even though you aren't aware the drivers exist.
With the device physically removed from the computer, the only way to view, and thereby have access to uninstalling,
the drivers is to alter Device Manager to Show hidden devices. Follow the steps below to display the hidden device information:
1. Right-click My Computer and select Properties
2. Click on the Advanced tab
3. Click on Environment Variables
4. Below the bottom Environment Variables window pane (System Variables), click on New
5. For Variable Name, enter devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices
6. For Variable Value, enter 1
7. Click OK to close Environment Variables and OK again to close System Properties
Now that you have created this entry, when you open Device Manager, you can click on View and then select Show hidden devices
from the menu.
You can identify the hidden devices by their grayed-out icons.

For flashing-unlocking use U8110 cable,for service functions(ReadIMEI,Write IMEI,Phone reset) use LG7050 cable.
- Fixed fast direct unlock for KE500,ME550 models,now unlock must work on all known version and unlock time is less than 10 sec.It means-you don't need now to flash phone for unlock.
- Implemented eeprom (calibration data,IMEI and locks zone) reading-writing for KE500,ME550 models.
Use this function for phones repairing-read eeprom from working phone,write it later to not working phone,if phone freeze at "LG" logo,after this write anyone flash from support site-phone must start to work properly if hardware is OK.
Later restore original IMEI with functions "Read IMEI" - "Write IMEI",using LG KG800 cable.

If you was making cable from KG800 cable,check all GND pins,I have reports,that in some KG800 cables is mistake-not pin 4,but pin 5 is connected to GND.Also check what levels are on box RX and TX pins-they must be 3,3V,if they are 5 V - also you won't can work correctly.

- For U880 exist function "Change region"
-it helps to avoid "Unavailable media file"
-read in "Flasher help.txt" file how to use it.
- For KU990 now no problems to flash anyone operator flash,even is possible to convert U990 to KU990 by flashing anyone KU990 flash to U990 phone.Only later is needed to make "Direct unlock" to fix "Unavailable wallpaper file" problem.
Actually from my practice I see,that some users have problems simple because they don't read what is written in help files
