Guys,
I am using Ubuntu Linux, i cannot use the PC companion software that comes from SE. I need to find out a way to install 2.1 install. Any ideas guys. Thanks in advance.
I thought SEUS worked with WINE. I don't know though, as I still dual-boot XP/Ubuntu

How do I run OS, and rom loaders on a MAC. I would like to load a rom that fixes the wifi problem with my Verizon XV6800. Please can someone help. Thanks
You don't.
Unless your Macintosh has an intel processor and has some sort of Windows emulation (bootcamp parallels, wine, etc.), you can't. There isn't a way to do this straight from OS X.
Syncing your PDA with Mac is easy with the help of The Missing Sync or PocketMAC but updating your firmware, you'll have to use the next best PC in your area.
Good luck
Windows XP
Can anyone send me windows XP so I can duel boot and flash my XV6800 rom? I have parallels but no windows. Thanks

No. That's asking for wares which is against forum policy. You can download a trial from Microsoft and use it that way.
Be careful when running ROM upgrade tools within a VM on a mac. I got stuck in bootloader and the VM wouldn't see my phone at all. I had to find a PC in my closet to break it out I can only say this is true with Parallels though - VMWare may work better in this case but I've got no way of knowing.
try flashing from your microSD card

I had the same trouble.....funny my old treo could be flashed in a Parallels VM with no problem, and ESN repairs on sanyos also work in it.
I noticed that if you keeep the mouse moving, it will be more likely to complete the flash....however that makes no sense!
Thanks
Thanks for the replys. Sorry for asking for wares.
I have been trying to update my 8525 using my vista computer but it never worksi do have a xp but i dont feel like going all this work when i can just use my vista computer?
Could you do it?
search the forum for vista drivers, I always go to BOTTLOADER mode before I flash a ROM, try it.
use the search, use the WIKI.
Are you running Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1?
i havnt had to bother playing around with drivers after a clean install of Vista and latest version of WMDC.
I've been able to flash directly from RUU, while phone is in Windows Mobile.
I'm running Vista and I have no trouble upgrading my ROM.
But I have installed the latest Windows Mobile Device Centre upgrade. Before that it wouldn't work properly.
You should be able to get it via the Windows Update page (optional software, I think).
If not, wait till the end of the month when SP1 is released, and it should be included in that.
Anyway of doing this?

Thank you ranova!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you soooooooo much!!! I have been going CRAZY trying to update my ROM while in bootloader mode. (I could never get it to work that way.) I was too scared to try it while in Windows Mobile mode. I saw your post and saw that this was the way you did it and it worked for you. I tried it and hey, it WORKED!!!! Thanks again!!!
Hi people.
I tried (foolishly maybe) to update my X10i to 2.1 today using the nordic firmware method described here somewhere. But I did it using my mac and vmware fusion running windows XP. Everything went fine in the beginning, SEUS recognized the phone, offered update, downloaded and instaleld it, but in the end of the installation it said that the update failed.
Now I have a yellow exclamation mark whenever I turn on my phone. Is there any way to recover on my mac or should I go and look for a windows PC somewhere (which is hard as none of my colleagues/friends use a PC)?
Cheers.
I had exactly the same problem trying to update using vmware fusion. in the end i had to use bootcamp to flash my x10i which worked perfectly
Hi, I've just got an X10 Mini Pro and it's still running 1.6.
Have I seriously got to install Windows on my mac just to update? Are there any tools I can use under OSX (10.6)?
I'm not some Apple fanboy that doesn't want windows. I've tried several times, butI simply don't have room for bootcamp (well I do, but apparently the files are fragmented so I cant setup boot camp).
Anyway, cheers!
hi every one I finally got he optimus one:-D.
all is good with the phone and i can say that i'm totally happy to have it.
Now with a bit of error part.
it showed the update so decided to go for it.
Installed the lg pc suite.
It detected the phone but while syncing it (lg pc suite) crashes in between.
I'm using windows 7 64 bit.(if this helps)
one more thing i'm confuse about one thing and that is rooting.
I live in india and there are many applications which i dont really need so would rooting would help me get rid of those programs.
If yes then one thing i'm a total noob at all this.
please provide me a link with a detailed.
And please only and only if its necessary.
I am facing the exact same problem. Will try at home today on my XP PC. But am confounded why the software keeps crashing. Tried it on 3 different windows 7 pcs. Have not tried a different downloaded version of PC Suite IV. Also, not able to downgrade firmware or use superoneclick to root the firmware, both hang.
My specs are as follows:
Android 2.2.1
LG software v10c
Does anyone face the same problem or has a solution?
Thanks

One thing I find out that the pc suite at least works on xp.
But I'm totally confused on how to update out shows in some very different language need help.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App

rooting is possible on 2.2 so u need to downgrade using kdz and root using z4root(best root possible)
