LG VI 5225 Software/drivers

I'm looking for software to connect my phone to my computer through my data cable. I d/l BitPim but it doesn't list my model phone. I'm rather sure I know how to make the ringtones. I've been working on that but I just can't find any software to transfer them. I'm using the sprint network. Any help would be great.

The following instructions will tell you how to upload a ringtone (and games and wallpapers) to your StiMobile VI 5225 (and like your Sprint VI 5225 although ymmv).

***Note - You are hacking your phone AT YOUR OWN RISK ***

1.Take a mp3 file and converted it to a mono wav file at 8000 Hz and 16 bits using Audio Converter Software - MP3 to WAV, MP3 to WMA, WMA to MP3 Audio Converter NBFree MP3 to WAV Converter

2. Then using Qualcomm's Purevoice converter at PureVoice Downloads, convert the file into a .qcp file.

3. Create a file .gcd file like the one below in your favorite text editor.

Content-Type: audio/vnd.qcelp
Content-Name: Barking Dog
Content-Version: 1.0
Content-Vendor: LG
Content-URL: barking.qcp
Content-Size: 14970

4. Using bitpim, look at your phones filesystem. Go to the ams directory on the phone. For me, I saw the last subdirectory was 05, so I created a subdirectory 06.

5. I renamed the files from steps 2 and 3 to be 06.dat and 06.gcd and uploaded them into the ams directory (not the subdirectory).

6. Save a backup of the contentInfo file. Then edit and overwrite contentInfo file in two places to recognize the new ringtone. Make sure you use a text editor like emacs so you can see the hidden characters. I added


!C
6
Barking Dog
-1

and at the end

!E
ams:
6
Barking Dog

7. Reboot the phone and you are done!

Follow this procedure to upload new Games and Wallpaper too!


Enjoy!
