Re: [BitPim-user] BitPim 1.0.7 with LG Lotus (LG-Lx600) Windows 7 32bit, stock data cable

As Gregg said, the files are in the firmware. Extracting the stock ringtones
won't be easy, even if there is an easy way to get a firmware image. Your
best bet may be just to use a mic to record the ringtones as the phone plays
them.

I found an LG update tool at
http://www.lg.com/us/support/product/support-product-profile-mobile-redux.jsp?customerModelCode=LGLX600&matchedModelCode=1000007801&searchEngineModelCode=LX600%20Black&initialTab=documents&targetPage=support-product-profile

problem is that I seriously doubt it has a firmware image in the util. So
the first problem would be getting the app to DL the image and find it
before the program could delete it (if it will even download the update at
all if it determines your phone is up to date). Then there is the problem of
finding the ringtones in that file. Based on a quick look online, there
doesn't appear to be that much info on this phone.
