LG Reset Phone Lock (Unlock), LG Hang, LG Restart, LG Blink, LG Firmware and others can be done here. You can request any firmware and we will do de best.

What do you need to repair your own LG Phone?
  1. USB cable (may include when you bought it)
  2. Software and driver to update your phone
  3. Firmware (phone program/os)
LG has both GSM and CDMA phones. Here Ill discuss on how to Flash/Software Update/Debrand LG GSM phones. Flashing depends on Platform rather than Model, so you may notice one model uses one flasher but the next model uses another. Different models which are from same platform use same flasher. LG has several platforms like Infineon, Qualcomm, ADI, TI, MTK, SEMC etc. Ill try describe on each platform how to flash a phone. Remember that, till now Windows XP is the best performing Operating Syetem for LG flashing.

LG Infineon CPU
Phones based on Infineon platform are flashed with GSMulti software. GSMulti has different versions like 20, 21, 30. The last one is GSMulti V30 and it supports all infineon phones till now. Infineon phones can be flashed both in USB and UART mode. Normally USB should be used, it will flash the phone in minutes where UART will take hour(s). Sometimes when phone is dead or rebooting and cant install USB driver you need to use UART then. Some old phones support only UART.

Infineon Flashing on UART
  1. You need a USB to Serial Converter BOX/Cable with correct pinout of the phone.
  2. Install and run GSMulti v30
  3. Go to Setting(s) > Configuration, select DLL and firmware on S/W box, select UART as communication, select correct port of Box/cable, then click OK.
  4. Now click START on main window, when the software says Wait Phone Connecting... connect POWERED OFF phone with battery to cable and press POWER button.
Infineon Flashing on USB
  1. Install GSMULti V30
  2. Connect phone to usb cable without battery, Windows will ask for driver, show driver from C:GSMULTIUsbDriversINFINEON.
  3. Open USBMap from C:GSMULTI, select INFINEON and click MAPPING START, reconnect the phone to usb cable without battery. Some info will show on PORT/KEYNAME, now SAVE & EXIT.
  4. Open GSMulti main software, go to Setting(s) > Configuration, select DLL and firmware on S/W box, select USB as communication then click OK. Now click START on main window, when the software says Wait Phone Connecting.. reconnect the cable. If flashing not start without battery just put the battery and slightly press power button.

Get Weather Updates By The Minute With SkyMotion For Windows Phone

Get Weather Updates By The Minute With SkyMotion For Windows Phone:
Live tiles are the flagship feature of Microsoft’s latest operating systems and while they are handy in displaying info at a quick glance for a lot of different types of apps, they particularly shine when it comes to weather apps. Microsoft’s own weather app has a rather simple live tile, but there are many fancier options available in the Windows Phone Store that utilize live tiles to the max. Usually live tiles get updated after an hour or so, which is fine in most cases. However, if the weather of your city is really unpredictable and has the tendency to go from sunny to stormy in a matter of minutes, even live tiles can’t do enough to forewarn you. That’s where SkyMotion can be of assistance. This new Windows Phone app provides minute-by-minute weather updates, and can tell you about a coming onslaught of the elements that might slip under the radar of an ordinary weather app.


SkyMotion WP Options SkyMotion WP Location SkyMotion WP Settings
SkyMotion is based upon such a great concept that a lot of Windows Phone users are gonna love to have it on their devices right away. Unfortunately though, the app only supports locations from US and Canada for now, and while you can install and use it anywhere, you will not get any weather data for locations outside the US and Canada. If you are living in one of the supported locations though, SkyMotion is one of the must-have apps. It automatically locates you on the map and shows the conditions of your area under the ‘My Current Position’ heading. Other locations can be bookmarked by hitting the ‘+’ button and searching for the desired place.
To personalize SkyMotion, head to the Settings menu, where you get to change the temperature unit, refresh time and live tile settings. It is possible to pin individual locations to the Start screen directly as well, allowing you quick access to them in the app rather than having to navigate to them after launching the app.
SkyMotion WP Summary SkyMotion WP Forecast
The weather reports presented by SkyMotion are termed ‘nowcast’. The summary page of the nowcast has a nice graphical and text representation of the weather conditions, along with the current temperature. You also get to see the estimated time till the next change in the conditions is expected. The tiny ‘Next Forecast In’ timer counts down to the time remaining till the nowcast gets refreshed. In order to view the weather forecast in the thorough SkyMotion style, swipe rightwards to the ‘details’ section that lists the expected upcoming changes in conditions.
To get the most out of SkyMotion, you must use its live tile since that increases the app’s usefulness by a long way. SkyMotion supports all the cities in North America, and works on Mango as well as Windows Phone 8. You can grab the app for free from Windows Phone Store using the link below.
