Troubleshooting:
- I’m getting pcomm -1
error, phone not found
- Your usb cable drivers aren’t
installed correctly. Install them again
- You are not using the correct cable. You
must use an FTDI usb cable
- You have the wrong comport selected. Try
another comport number
To check if FTDI usb cable are installed
correct do the following:
Go to 'Start' -> ‘Control panel’ -> ‘System’
Click on the 'Hardware' tab then choose
'device manager'
Go to modems.
You should see something like LG CDMA modem
Go to 'Universal serial bus controllers
You should see something like LG USB
Composite Device
To check on what comport your usb driver is
on:
Go to ‘modems’ select the ‘LG CDMA modem’.
Right click it and select ‘properties’.
Now go to the tab ‘modem’. There you can see
on which comport your LG is connected.
Other points to pay
attention to if you have problems
- Make sure your phone is fully charged
- Can’t select comport because can’t select
any port higher then 15.
If the comport your computer gave your usb
conntection to your LG mobile phone is
higher than 15 you have to change it.
Go to 'start' -> 'settings' -> 'control
panel' then go to 'system'
Go to 'hardware' tab then Press 'device
manager' button and then go to
'Modems'
You should see something like the 'LG MODEM'
there (if not then your drivers aren't
installed ok)
Right click on it and choose 'properties'
Now go to 'Advanced' tab
Click the 'Advanced Port settings'
There you can change the com port number.
Now just reconnect your phone again (same
usb port of course!)
