1.) Roaming Triangle Is Blinking After Update....

----- This could be because of a few things. Either you didn't follow directions correctly, or...actually, it's because you didn't follow directions. Regardless, you can try one of two things.
a.) Download this.[=http//rapidshare.de/files/34310299/_133263__EVDO.zip.html]this. Open up LG Downloader again (The thing you installed in Step 1) and on the left side of the program click "PRL Write". Point that to the PRL file you just downloaded (Example C\Documents and Settings\Jon\Desktop\OEM Voice and Data EV 50467.prl) and click "PRL Write Start". This should work, but if it doesn't....
b.) Download this.[=http//www.humpa.com/downloads/eri.zip]this. Open up BITPim [=http//prdownloads.sourceforge.net/bitpim/bitpim-0.9.07-setup.exe?use_mirror=easynews]BITPim and go to "View" and make sure "View Filesystem" is checked. Click on the filesystem tree and go to eri. Drag the eri file you just downloaded into the empty box, and unplug your phone. Turn off your phone, and turn it on again. The sign will be gone. If it isn't, dial li228, and for an option, choose 2. Listen to corny music for 20 seconds, then the phone will restart itself.

Now you're all set.....

...to rock the boat?
