Ive been trying to get the mms to work on my vx8100. I got wap working, and have followed all instructions in tutorials. After messing around with LG download a few times, I wonder if I could edit the mms server name/etc by tinkering with the paramtable file. When I open that file with hex edit I see the names of all the other sites: the cricket wap settings (wap.mycricket.com), as well as the website names/servers for the old verizon crap (ver.chat ver.email) but I find no references to mms. Is there a way to edit the mms settings in the paramtable file without messing with LG download?
thanks
Thanks
 
Hi everyone. Took me a while to figure this one out. I had the help of berry_lthird.

Please follow his same exact tutorial for the vx9900.


The only major change is that you will need to use the 9900 dll file.
NOT THE 8300 dll. I don't know why, but this WORKS!

I own the 8300 and did the same steps in the tutorial. The minors differences in the NV Edit menus between the 8300 and 9900 will no longer be seen since you are using the 9900 dll anyway. After all steps are completed: reset the browser, edit and replace the paramtable1.fil again (as it may have been reverted back to 00). Write.

Test the mobile web browser. Test the MMS. It should all be working.


Find 9900 DLL here:
 
Thanks Berry 3rd. I tried quite a few dll's but it seems that the mms settings I enter never take. I have wap working fine, and incoming mms fine, but outgoing is a no-go. I found something interesting i wanted your opinion on. After a few valiant efforts with lg download, I found the nvm_lg_param file in bitpim (filesystem-Nvm-Nvm). This is the only place in the filesystem that has a place for one to change the mms server site. In bitpim it would not overwrite, but in qpst efs explorer I changed the mms server name to Crickets, but the outgoing still didnt work. Anyway, I figured you would understand it better than me. I attached the text file of my attempt to adjust the nvm_lg_param file. Oddly enough, now that I overwrote it with qpst, qpst cannot save files from my phone in efs explorer anymore....
Gee, Im trying to contribute, but i just keep screwing up phones!
 
PS: When i tried to use the 9800 dll nv edit would have some sort of unknown error. 9900 and 8300 dlls could read nv but when tried to write settings didnt take.
 
Wow thanks both for the compliment, and for the help!
What happens if the part you enter is longer than what was previously there?
My nv_lg_param file is now 4 bytes longer than it was before bcause mycricket is longer than "vtext"?
Thanks
 
any time you read the phone, you'll get the mdn back no matter wat was put in...

if your settings don't work for wap and mms with the min, then try the mdn...

if they work, then you are good...just expect to see the mdn everytime you read the phone even if you have written the min to it...
 
Hmmm....bad news! Even thought the text field is longer, the file size SHOULDN'T be.

Those "empty" spaces actually have a hex value of zero, and thereby occupy file size in bytes.
 
I have flashed the vx8300 and have WAP and outgoing MMS working, but the same as an earlier post I can't get the phone to receive MMS. Their plan is the correct one, since they were able to send and receive on the old phone.
 
Thanks guys. I know changing the brew settings kills the media player, but for some reason i changed them anyway. i was wondering could i flash it back to verizon, and recover that media player, or is it gone for good? If it is gone for good i remeraber reading somewhere, I think Berry said you could still listen to a hidden media player without having shuttle controls. I'm pretty sure I wrote the mdn and the min, and couldn't connect with either one. She's bringing her phone back tomorrow, so hopefully i can get the wap and mms working
 
Hey, after a few days, my camera started acting up... now I can't take pix anymore??? Same thing happened to another VX8300 I flashed over using the same method. Any Ideas on what happened/how to fix it? I can still record video too
