LG VI-125 and BitPim (Sprint Only)
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Okay this is to help the progression of the VI-125 Sprint Users.

Apparently, all the ringers are contained in the vi-125 are in the
ams directory. The ringers and images are not separated but are numbered consecutively (00,01,02,03,04).

the first file in there is the *.dat file. This is the images or ringer.

I believe that the phone distinguishes between either a ringer or image through the gcd file.
This can be obtained at the following link if you want to make your own.
http://www.sprintusers.com/downloads/gcdcreator/

The *.url file doesn't seem to be that important. It's just a link of where I downloaded the ringer.

If you have any trouble with this part you can download mine:

---
The setas directory is i think is like an index of where all your ringers/images/voicerecordings are. As far as i know, there are no distinct editors for these. With the telus version of the 125 you can delete these and reboot the phone, and the phone will recreate them. THIS IS NOT THE CASE WITH THE SPRINT VERSION. If you do delete them, no harm will come, but the downloaded ringers that were listed will be gone but the ringers will still be there internally.

Here are my map files that go along with that ams zip above.

I'd like to hear how far everyone else has gotten with their vi-125 sprint phones.

Special thanks to foibly

will I be able to unlock the phone/enable the is95 codec and/or disable anaalog through bitpim and a cable? Thank you- never done this before ;izza:

I would like to see some a setas dir from a PM325 with new tones and/or images. Maybe that would shed some light.

I apologize if this has been run into the ground, but either the VI125 does not get much literature or my forum searching skills aren't so sharp.

I am a complete novice when it comes to new phones. How do you even get the 125 hooked up to BitPim? I have tried what I feel to be all options, and BitPim always spits back "Phone Not Detected." I purchased my cable on eBay, could that be my problem?

I have a Telus 125 phone. I'm able to talk to the phone with AT commands. When I select the "Other CDMA" in bitpim and try and look at the filesystem, I get an error something about the phone echoing commands back.

So I just back to my modem days and issue a ATE0 command to turn off local echo (hoping this would help the situation).

Back in bitpim, it issues a AT+GMM and I get back "LG125" . This is good. Then bitpim tries to put the phone in brew mode and that fails (I'm guessing that was the AT$QCDMG command).

Is this phone locked-out from me looking at the filesystem? Or what I'm I doing wrong?

Help!

I ran into simular problems for quite some time (with Telus 125). Here's what I did to get it working.

First, confirm you can actually talk to the phone. Set the phone's settings to RS-232C and 115200. Go ingo a terminal program (hyperterminal will do) and set up 115200 with none flow control). type "AT". You're looking for a "OK" response. Your actually sending hayes modem commands just like standard modems. Once you can an "OK" then you've confirmed that the cable and drivers are working. Exit hyperterminal.

- Power off the phone.
- Set bitpim to Other CDMA type phone.
- Hook up the cable.
- Power on the phone.
- Hit the filesystem + sign after a few seconds into the phones boot process.
- Keep doing this. Eventually the phone will catch the bitpim request.

Hope this helps.

does anybody know how to get a phonebook uploaded to the v1-125.
I am able to view the filesystem using BitPim but am unable to view the phonebook.
any help would be appreciated

I'm sorry, but I'm totally lost. I don't know how to read any phone commands or the like.

I am able to get into the file system, but don't know how to add anything correctly. Do I add a .mid as a .dat instead? Where do I put it? What should I name it? What should the .gcd say?

yea change the .mid to .dat then make a gcd to go along with the file

I just got an LG VI-125 Sprint PCS phone a week or two ago, and I've been working for the past few days on adding support for it in BitPim. I've pretty much only completed phonebook download from the phone to the computer so far, though that seems to be working well.

I was originally only planning on adding phonebook support, but since I had decent luck with it, I'm thinking about adding calendar, etc. support as well. So, I haven't decided whether I'm going to work on phonebook upload support next, or get the rest of the download features working (I'm procrastinating a bit on any type of upload support at all, since I'd rather not screw up my phone).

I'm not sure exactly when I'll be sending my files off to the BitPim team to include in an upcoming release, but hopefully it won't be too long.

Omnifire - have you figured out yet about getting the .map file to recognize the new images/ringtones you added through the .dat/.gcd method you described above?

Has anyone successfully uploaded to their SprintPCS lg125 and gotten the phone to recognize the new files?

Thanks
