Hi There

I have a lg rd2030 and an original Reliance USB Cable

Ever since i heard i could hack the phone with USB Cable I have been trying like hell to access the filesystem .

But i still dont seem to get it right

How about a step by step guide for USB users on how to Hack the 2030

including what should be the bitpim settings and everything

the bitpim HELP said i will need libusb-win32 driver for usb cables so i downloaded it but still didnt work .

Can anyone tell me if the driver is necessary . If not then which COM port to choose in the settings .

The program shows COM 1 and COM 2 in the settings but both dont work when i try to open the filesystem

I also have no idea which phone model to select in the menu .

Someone who has already hacked with a USB cable please help

I am sure most of the 2030 users use USB and many must be facing this problem.

Thanks in advance

If you are having a USB Cable, you need to have USB > Serial converter driver..

After installing it, a new COM port will be added to the list other than the current ones..

In Bitpim, you have to select the COM port which is installed by the driver..

[scuzzy 0]

Can you give me a link to where i can find the driver

if the driver you are talking about is the libusb-win32 driver then

I have already tried it but it doesnt seem to work.

Come on Guys there are so many entries here by people

using USB cables for help but not one satisfactory reply

every reply says rd 2030 + USB works

but nobody says how

somebody please help

[Ashokjp 15]

You just have to install the USB - > Serial converter driver

which i think is available for download with Reliance

Then a new COM port will appear, which transmits data to your USB

pretending as a COM port..

In Bitpim, Select Edit > Settings

In that select the Com port which was installed by the driver

Tats it..

Now follow the steps in the tutorial by ngcoders

RD-2030 Ringtone Tutorial

User "Chandramauli" was able to do this way..

Maybe anyone having USB, can say anything more..

[Ashokjp 15]

I think the software comes with the R-Connect CD..

I am having serial cable.. So cant say much on USB.

Try getting the latest driver here

LG RD 2030 Interface : USB

Uninstall the old and install this..

See whether it works this way

Hi Scuzzy,

Maybe I could help you.

I installed R-connect software in windows XP.

Then I installed Bitpim ver 6 (NOT the latest version 7). You need not install any other drivers etc if your rconnect is working fine. It already has a usb-serial converter (or whatever...does'nt matter to me as long as it works fine).

So, in short, if your rconnect is working in win XP, then you just need to install bitpim ver 6.x and you should be able to access lg rd 2030file system...and do all those things mentioned in this forum.

and mind all of you guys, i'm not at all a techie...I just use common sense!

hope it helps you Scuzzy,

all the best!

ok the usb finally worked

I guess the driver on the Reliance CD was old

when i downloaded the new drivers from the link given by ashok

bitpim showed the com 3 port and i could connect

Thanks Ashok

Get phone data.. ERROR!!!

retrieve file structure ERROR!!!

Dont use the feature Get phone data

It wont work..

Open Bitpim

Select the tab named "Filesystem"

Click "/"

It shows a error ( if not 0.62 )

Click "/" again

Now it gives you the file structure

hi,

I have a Windows XP with LG RD2030 mobile. I have recently bought a cord to connect the reliance cell and make use of the Rconnect service. However Windows is not recognising my CELL and enabling it as a modem even after I ahve installed the LG USB drivers and RIM related software on the machine.

Please help

Regards,

Rohit

[Ashokjp 15]

Firstly as a usually one..

Try getting the latest software driver from

LG RD 2030 Interface : USB

Remove the old one and try installing this...

[rgulx2 0]

Junta,

Thanks for the very enthu reply to my query, but we seem to have got lost from my original question:

1) I am using Windows XP on a Vaio laptop

2) The data cable and phone modem is not getting recognised even after I installed the LG RD 2030 drives on the the laptop

3) I checked the laptop and it does not have any serial ports (has a LPT though)

4) I did a scan for new hardware and no serial ports are identified

5) I downloaded BitPim and tried to make it work, it gives the same message that serial ports are not found.

Please advise how to make the cell work on USB. I am trying to RConnect.

Regards,

Rohit

[Ashokjp 15]

Wat i meant was the same..

Once you install the drivers a new port will be displayed as COM port which is

actually transfering data through ur usb..

One the drivers are properly installed, it com port will come in Bitpim also.

Did u try the new drivers?

Isnt it working the latest ones too

[rgulx2 0]

hi,

I updated the machine with the new USB driver provided from RIM. However the only additional step that I got was for activating RConnect i.e. by calling *412

but the problem is that my LG RD2030 is still not being recognised by the laptop and I am getting a message of unkown USB device.

Any suggestions?

PS: Can I get RConnect disabled till this thing is resolveD? Dont want Dhiru ka sapna to make my money uska apna! Is the RConnect enabling adding some monthly fee?

Regards,

Rohit

[Ashokjp 15]

R-Connect there is a monthly fee of Rs200

[rgulx2 0]

hmmmmm ok... how to get it disabled?

Ok, I also tried one more thing, downloaded XP Patch for USB 1.1 and 2.00 but they did not have any effect
