Instructions for flashing the LG GT505 with OEM firmware (Version 10b):

IMPORTANT: Ensure that the phone battery is fully charged and all information stored in phone memory is backed up. Do not allow the flashing process (step 18 onwards) to be interrupted in any way (pc must remain on and phone must have power from its battery. If an interruption occurs the phone may be left in an unusable state!

COMMENTS: This process is known to work with Windows XP (and possibly 2000). As far as I am aware it will not work with any other version of Windows – including Vista. It does not work on Linux or Mac systems. Copy the OciClasses.dll to C:\Windows\System32 before beginning.

1. Install the program found in “Software 1”. Use the key provided in the text document ‘serial_number.txt” during the process.

2. Copy the program in “Software 2” to C:\Download. (This folder was generated during the previous installation).

3. In C:\Download double click on LGDP2_CS.reg to add its contents to the registry.

4. In the “Drivers USB” folder double click the “installme.bat” batch file to install special USB drivers.

5. Plug the USB cable into the computer. Turn off the phone and remove the memory card (if fitted). Hold the ‘volume up’ key down then connect the USB cable to the phone. Around 3 seconds after doing this release the volume key.

6. The computer will then begin the USB driver installation process. If it doesn’t find them automatically manually select the C:\Windows\System32 as the place to find them.

7. Once the drivers are installed the phone will remain in download mode.8. Run LGDP2_V35_UMTS.exe from within the C:\Download folder and click

OK.9. Cancel any error messages which may appear and select COM1 (tick box).10. Select the DLL from “DLL \ GT500_090601_MP.dll”11. Click on “Run Download Configuration” then select line COM1.12. Remove the USB cable from the phone. Hold the ‘volume up’ key down then

connect the USB cable to the phone. Around 3 seconds after doing this release the volume key. Quickly click on the button “SET”. A number should appear in “UsbAddr”. Repeat step 12 if this doesn’t happen.

13. The USB port is now mapped and the phone is in download mode.14. In LGE Image, click on “Add” and select all the visible files in folder
