Info Lg Dare bitpim

Just got the Dare from Verizon. I LOVE IT :rock:

Only thing that sucks is i cant do anything with it on bitpim, because it keeps saying "file system is locked by service provider."

Anybody know when bitpim will support this phone?

I really miss my free nav, and all my ringtones

Re: Lg Dare

I've heard that the phone will automatically become "locked" after activation, but you may access the file system through bitpim before activating it.

Re: Lg Dare

Pit pim found it and called it unknown cdma phone.
It let me look through all the files system and whatnot, but i could not change anything.

Think i should try to manually set it as like a venus or voyager?

Re: Lg Dare

if thats the case i'm f-ed. I got phone in store so it came activated. I bet through web it would come not activated then you do it when you get it.

I know i had no problem accessing the venus and voyager i had.

Re: Lg Dare

You can use it with Bitpim... make sure you've set the phone to LG-VX9100 in the settings tab... then use the filesystem (tree) and go to BREW>10899>ringtones

If it still says denied, check back in the settings thats its set on LG-VX9100, sometimes after you open the filetree, it reverts back to a different setting. You should not get the access denied now.

Re: Lg Dare

Ummm i do not even see that phone as an option. I have bit pim version 1.0.5

The only "9's" there are, is vx9900, vx9800 and vx9400.

I just tried 9900 and got same message. I'll try the other "9's" and maybe also the vx10000

Re: Lg Dare

Ok, figured somthing out accidentaly. I right clicked on 10889, instead of ringtones, and clicked add file and it did it. But then when i right clicked on ringtones, then add file it said it was blocked by provider. but when i right clicked on the song i added into 10889 and say delete it says blocked by provider. So i can write to it, i just cant delete?

*UPDATE*
Have tried all different manual phone settings, all the 9's and the vx10000, and all get the same message when i try to write to 10889/ringtones. Says blocked by provider.

Also tried to make a backup of the file system, and it would not let you back up the mif's and the only mod folder was 10888, brewmappmgr, and obigo

Re: Lg Dare

use bitpim 1.06
manually choose vx9100
do not use get/send data

Re: Lg Dare

you kick ass.

That worked perfectly. I had it do an update check on 1.0.5 and their were none. I didnt even think about downloading the new test version of bit pim.

Thank you very much.

Now for the free nav and email!

Re: Lg Dare

i cannot decide between an LG Dare or a Blackberry curve...any thoughts that could help me.
