[T-Mobile LG G2] mojohjojo:
Unable to find a solution to my problem. Searched and read many threads on the subject and think I've about tried everything with no luck.

Have a T-Mobile D801 phone. Took the OTA update and successfully upgraded to kitkat. Did not like kitkat so I downgraded back to 4.2.2 using the LG Mobile tool and the D801110C.kdz file. This downgrade was successful and I was able to root also with success.

So I have a stock rooted 4.2.2 phone with stock recovery.

Used the phone several weeks before playing with the build.prop file. After a modification, restarted the phone and the phone now will not boot past the LG splash screen.

The phone will boot to stock recovery as well as fully boot to download mode.

Installed newest LG mobile tools as well as the drivers, and reinstalled several times.

I have tried using the standard LG mobile tools to revert to stock. When using this method, the program identifies the phone correctly as a D801 but does not list a software version and tells me that there is no upgrade available. When click on upgrade recovery, it tells me that there is nothing to fix. So, I tried clicking on upgrade recovery without phone attached and enter the imei number and connect the phone. The software downloads the update successfully but when it attempts to install, stops at 2-3% and tells me to connect the phone. Restart the phone in download mode, reconnect and attempt again with same failure. Have tried this with swapping the downloaded file with110C, 110G, and kitkat KDZ files and all fail equally at 2-3%.

Have changed and tried com ports 41, 7, and 4 as well as disable LG modem in device manager and all fail.

Have tried this method on a windows 8 64 machine, windows 7 64 machine, and windows xp 32 machine and all still yield equal results. Tried several different USB cables and ports.

Have attempted using the KDZ with the L&D method using the 110C/D and kitkat files and the 110C/D fail at 49% and the kitkat will not even start, just errors right away. Tried this method with the different computers as well as cables and com ports.

I have also tried using the LG flash tool with the D801 TOT file and dll. Will not start and gives me error that the model numbers do not match even though it says it is a D801 at the top of the program.

At a loss here for what to try next. Any help on this would be much appreciated.
[T-Mobile LG G2] mojohjojo:
FIXED

Fixed the problem. Couldn't get any of the above methods to work. Downloaded the LG Firmware Extractor and extracted the .DLL from the TOT file and used that with LGFlashTool. That worked perfectly. Up and running again.

I like using an OLDER release of File Manager HD the one with (the Bee on the corner - the new one is rubbish).

I found that after upgrading to KitKat I could no longer delete files from the sd card using this file manager,

This seems to be a feature of KK unless they use 1st party apps that come with it, but I found a solution.

This enables you to delete again using 3rd party file managers again that they can delete files again.

COOOOOL !!!!!

Thanks so much for posting it !!!!!

I can start it on the HTC TyTN and it really shows a lot of parameters.

(Not quite sure right now if the Nokia 6680 or now the Hermes shows more of them :)

Only...

Most of the params (except for the RSSI, i.e. the field level) show N/A.

That's why I assume that some Registry values have to be adjusted...

Could you pls confirm that you can see values for all (or at least) most of the values ?

Otherwise it's really phantastic that you are sharing this with us !!! Thanks again.

field test

hi do you have more details on how to get it working? I only get -99 in the signal box and it does not seem to be getting all readings from the radio stack. are the registry tweaks needed?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ghl10000:
Hi,

thanks again for sharing this application with us !

Help with some of the params much appreciated, but could you pls comment if you get values for all params on all screens ?

(Of course I do not mean those, which don't show up in idle but only active mode.)

In idle mode the complete BCCH params from the radio layer should show up. For me only RSSI (field level in dBm I hope) and RXqual show up, all other values are on N/A (not available).

If they do show up on your TyTN (you do have a TyTN, don't ya ?) I think we would have to kindly ask you to share also the "missing links" with us:

I'm afraid - as was with the Engineering Mode of the predecessor models - there need to be entered some secret Registry Keys.

Probably you know how to invoke the Fieldtest Mode and it would be great if you could finally also contribute this knowledge here. TIA
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] eeter:
All parmeters should show. Only few are in Hex . I have a Hermes 100 Rom 1.24

I am in touch with some HTC engineers and will ask if registry should be tweaked which I doubt. Do not forget to go to file and click on start

needless to say that you need a UMTS/HSDPA coverage
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ghl10000:
Wow !

This would be great.

I am quite convinced that some registry modifications have to be done (or these are automatically set by a special firmware version).

But let me recall your mail:

You have got firmware 1.24 ???

This also seems to be the latest version, which apparently isn't yet released (all reports posted here mention 1.18.xxx.x).

I faintly remember that the Enineering mode application for the predecessor models (which showed up far less details than the one you posted) needed the firmware versions with the AKU2; but I might be mistaken with that.

Could anybody here btw verify if that is (was) true ?

My Device Info shows the following (I have the German localized version but that shouldn't influence proper operation of that application):

ROM: 1.18.257.2

ROM Date: 05/30/06

Radio: 1.03.03.10

Protocol: 32.34.7010.01H

And YES - both UMTS and HSDPA coverage is excellent here :-)

I am curious if we would get this application to work here...

Regards

ghl10000

P.S.

I am none of these "firmware junkies" calling all the time for the "latest" firmware. But did you experience any improvements with the 1.24 ?

I couldn't think of big ones upfront that would make it worth while upgrading immediately though (with the predecessor models the AKU2 pack definitely was one, as I've been - and still am with the Hermes - using DirectPush heavily). Just curious.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] rabmc:
nice find...!

Is there anyway my Wizard can be tweaked to use this fully... at the moment it gives me very limited info - or am i gonna have to buy a Hermes? :roll:

Also if possible could you provide details of all the menu/option/parameters please.

The GSM/UMTS/HS in Hermes is based on the Qualcomm chip 6280

ROM 1.24?? is it WWE rom? From which Hermes version?

Can you update the table here with your info:

thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ghl10000:
Hi,

I think it would be of BIG help if you, eeter, could contribute an extract of various registry sections.

It is very likely that there are special (uncommunicated) registry keys inserted and set to special values, which then invoke display of the complete Fieldtest.

Problem is:

I cannot ask you to upload a complete dump of your registry because this would contain your IMEI, several user names and pass keys from you etc.

We wouldn't need all this (just extracts from special sections from the registry) and it also be undecent to even ask you.

pof, what do you think:

How could we assist eeter as much as possible to (automatically) dump only these sections of the registry, which are likely to contain these keys, but do not contain "sensitive" data from eeter's configuration ?

+++

Of course there's still the possibility that the fieldtest needs a special firmware version or special (additional) files or values .ini's.

To get this information would then be quite challenging if not next to impossible :-(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
I have some doubts... as none of us has the fieldtest.exe in our roms, and he claims to have a 1.24 rom, most probably fieldtest is included in his rom release but not in ours, but I don't know wher did he get a device with that ROM and haven't seen anyone in the forums with any rom newer than 1.23 yet... :?

We have some possibilities:

1) "backporting" fieldtest.exe from eeter's 1.24 rom, we would need that

1.1) he dumps his imgfs with the instructions here:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HowtoDumpRom

1.2) we can extract the contents of the imgfs with the instructions here:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HowtoExtractImgfs

1.3) try importing (some or all of) these files (which fieldtest.exe is linked to) to our current rom:

COREDLL.dll, OLEAUT32.dll, commctrl.dll, AYGSHELL.dll, ril.dll

1.4) importing missing registry keys from his rom, he can always hard reset and export the full registry to not post sensitive data.

This will fail if the program has depenencys on the radio rom, as probably he has a newer one than us.

2) We can try that he dumps the full rom to microSD card, using bootloader and commands "d2s" or "r2sd" (don't know about which commands are available on the Hermes bootloader yet), then we can restore the rom from storage on our devices using "s2d".

Or... probably someone can enlighten us with a simplyier possibility I haven't thought of :)

I'lltry to send a snapshot of the various screens shortly ( I am traveling )

Remmeber that in UMTS measurments are event driven

The phone will not display any GSM value if you are connected to UMTS

and vice versa. It will not show any UMTS measurements unless you trigger an event such as making a phone call or starting a data session or handing over GSM etc..

All phones based on the Qualcomm ship( LG, Samsung MOT ) displays the same engineering measurments.

[quote="jeezus"

Flashing is fun...[/quote]

Yes and no.

If you are experienced enough not to screw up your bootloader and/or you do not rely on your phone and just have it for experimenting - then yes.

No, if you neither have the Release Notes document nor know which new features or bugfixes an upgrade (update) - or let's better call it "higher firmware version" - brings and you do rely on your phone.

Taking a risk for virtually nothing isn't worth while - except (as said) if it is REALLY just out of fun for you !

I wouldn't recommend others here frenetically just to hunt for "higher firmware numbers" (they might in some cases not even bear a more recent ROM) without pointing out the (potential) risk applied.

We should avoid too many complaints here like "I screwed up my device - HELP !!!!!!!", because the mission of this forum (which is open after all to experts and non-experts) should be to contribute to the benefit of all users.

Or trying to get hands on these (confidential) Release Notes documents from HTC :)

HSDPA

If you want to know whether you are in HSDPA or R99, you can check HSDPA CQI STATUS in the field test group. If it displays 33 it means you are. HSDPA speed might be limited to 1.2 or 1.8 mb because of the backhaul ( if you are the only one using it :). Sierra Wireless card 875 can go up to 3.8 mb ( I am using it to upload this message )

Since you seem to have connections, can you do us the courtesy of trying to find out why the field test isn't showing values for many of us if, as you say, it's not connected to the ROM?

I'd love to get some field test goodness, i'm running 1.18.255.3/1.03.03.10.

Perhaps more importantly, why does the US release matter? The reality is we'll see different ROMs from the carriers (Cingular/T-Mobile) that are unlikely to have any connection to the ROM you mention.

Are the dropping of UMTS calls fixed in this release? What i'd really like to do is use the field test mode to determine why my calls are disconnecting with full signal. That is a pretty serious problem.

Please provide more deets, anything you can share would be helpful. Thanks eeter.
