No Wifi, can't reflash again

I flashed my Rom from Chinese (Taiwan) to English (UK), since then I lost my wifi. I can't reflash my Phone, because LGMP is not regonizing the phone, windiag reg doesn't work. Is there any other way to flash the phone again, or maybe change some of the registry to enable the wifi setting. thx a million.

.nv2 restore timeout

I have my .nv2 from when I flashed an unbranded czech rom into an SFR ks20.

When I rename the folder containing the .nv2 as all 00000's and then put this into an Nvbackup folder [first generated by another doing a .nv2 backup of the phone (which has no .nv2) to establish the correct folder structure for LGMDP to find it when it does an .nv2 restore]

the .nv2 restore starts and then timeouts.

What to try next please help

I need a step by step for the windiag stuff but I can't seem to connect to the phone at all using a registry edit programme.

Further troubles are that because of the unbranded flash to a branded I get the OTP block illegal use message when booting up the phone.

So when I try to emergency flash an SFR rom, i have tried 10b(trad) and 10f(dz), I get the security mode message.

I tried a hybrid ROM SFR 10f/HKG 10c flash as well and still got the message.

So I think I need to start with the .nv2?

I will try obviously a clean XP machine next as well just bringing the .nv2 file with me.....

Should I keep its containing folder to 00000's or should it be named how it was originally? Except I didn't keep a record of the original containing folder name.. how does it correspond to the IMEI?

Anyway as you can see I am searching and trying, if you have an insights please help, I will keep bashing away

kindest regards

b

EDIT

should i try a hybrid sfr / czech flash? as that is where i came from to where I went to.....

Hi, boysana

Step by step for the windiag stuff

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=396032

Is the msg "OTP block illegal use" appear before or after .nv2 restore?

What do you mean you get the "security mode message" when flash to 10b(trad) and 10f(dz)?

Are you sure your phone is Unbranded? As up til now i only see the illegal use msg appear when a Branded KS20 flash to Unbranded rom.

Have you ever restore .nv2 after flash?

Have you ever tried to unlock your phone using lg_.exe?

Rename the .nv2 folder to 000000-00-000000 is only necessary when your IMEI in KS20 become 000000-00-000000

As LGMDP would only look for .nv2 which is in the folder named as the current IMEI on KS20

If you want to rename back to it's original name, it is your original IMEI no. without the 15th digit

Also, folder that named as KS20's IMEI no. shouldn't place in nvbackup folder

The folder structure should be like:

c:/LGMDP/000000-00-000000(or your original IMEI no)/_COM_?_/xxxxxx.nv2

c:/LGMDP/NvBackup/xxxxxxx.nv2

If you can select the .nv2 that you want to restore but just timeout during the restoration process, i think is your windiag setting problem, try install windiag_open.cab in the link above

Make sure in "Select Port" of "LGMDP", under "Phone" and "Model" it show "KS20-00-V10....." and "KS20"
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dorik2k:
Hi, boysana...

As raykisi pointed out, your situation seems a little strange... The OTP Block seem to appear in two situations:

1. At boot

Why: cuz you didn't choose "Erase EFS" when flashing, so old configs do conflict with current rom

Solution: reflash in emergency mode, this does the job from scratch

2. When flashing unbranded rom (not our "hybrid") over branded, and then restoring branded rom's nv2

Why: This is what gave us headaches for many time, when trying to flash unbranded roms

Solution: Use the "hybrid" roms, instead of the original unbranded ones, or make one yoursels (look here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=405945)

You can also restore NV2 file manually, without having to change folder names.

1. Flash your phone with a branded or with an "hybrid" rom in emergency mode

2. after booting, if everything looks ok, configure you phone and also install Windiag_open.cab, and connect to LGMP.

3. After connecting with LGMP, do things as you wehre flashing mbn files, but uncheck everything, and check only the last one, which says smth like "original NV", or similar, and browse for your NV2 file... Flash the phone... make sure you unchecked everything except the last one.

4. afte restoring NV2, restart the phone, and use "lg_.exe" to unlock the phone...

Steps 3&4 are not necessary when you have an unbranded rom on your phone, and it works correctly. But in you case, I think you should reflash from scratch to eliminate unknown variables which make give problems...

This is what I've done several times, and it didn't fail even once... So do this as I say, and if you get stuck in one of the steps, tell us, and lets see if we can help in more detailed steps....

To make things a little longer, but just to bee sure things are done as they should be, do these steps first with a branded rom, then after that try to flash the "hybrid" rom again, doing things the same way...

When you got your phone, was it branded or not... I mean, when it boots, did it show any network logo such as vodafone for example...? If not, than you had an unbranded phone, so you should not use the English+French rom, but directly the english (the original one):

Hi, guys

I noticed that, when Unbranded KS20 flash with hybrid rom may result in OTP block problem after .nv2 restore.

So for those having this problem when even with the "ERASE EFS" option checked in LGMDP. Then, your KS20 may be Unbranded, try flash again with any Official Unbranded roms
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xUmaRix:
yup its obviously true. After multiple time flash and reflash when i try to use hybrid ROM i got OTP block problem.So better stick to unbranded ROM or perhaps customize for unbranded hybrid clean ROM.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rober_san6lx:
Well i really dont if it unbranded or not because when i got it from ebay the complete box is in english everything plus the ks20 came in english too maybe it was not me but the guy i brought from buy it for LG direcly i think and that is has No CARRIER logo anywhere not in the box not in phone and it was in english, and i use it like 3 day after i try to flash it for try to repair the WIFI problem and Gapi for Point Ui etc.. and now i got this problem. BUT anyway thank you i will give it a try what you told me and if you can give me a link for the branded rom you recomend THANK YOU AGAIN
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dorik2k:
What I'm telling you, is that if you had an unbranded phone, and it seems from what you are saying that you did, that you should not use branded or hybrid roms, bot you can use the original roms. get the link from my previous post. That's the original english, unmodified... use that to flash...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raykisi:
Hi, xUmaRix

Why you still want an unbranded hybrid clean ROM? The official Unbranded rom is clean enough.

The exist of hybrid rom is only for those Branded KS20, as they can't flash Unbranded rom directly, otherwise OTP will result. Thus, we modify the Unbranded rom into hybrid to make it work in Branded KS20 with no OTP block problem.

So, if you own an Unbranded KS20 you should be happy with that, as you can flash Official English rom with no modification need, since that Official English rom only exist in Unbranded version in the world, there is no official Branded english rom

Hi, rober_san6lx

From what you told us, it sounds like your KS20 is Unbranded as it come with english in original (unless the previous owner modify it to english with some flashing boxes), so you can try flash the official Unbranded english roms which could be find in this post:

Glad the phone worked... The problem with your wireless router is that I've never heard smth like this. But I know that wireless routers are sometimes (too many times in my opinion) really tricky. What kind of router do you have? Cheap routers are not a good choice. Wireless is still a complex technology, and only a few brands do them like they should be done, like cisco and linksys.... That's why I said before to change it... I've used my phone with linksys and asus routers, and all worked fine...

Hi raykisi, I got your point clearly.What confusing me is total program memory in LG KS20 show 81.59 MB but according to spec it is 128 MB.So if someone know how to tweak the memory or processor speed could give some tips.

Hi, All,

I propose one approach to resolve N/W problem by QPST, you can backup the .qcn file by one working brand/unbrand KS20, then restore your KS20 w/ this .qcn file after flashing it w/ brand/unbrand rom.:)

My KS20 is unbrand one, I can flash it w/ unbrand HK Chinese/English rom and brabd Frence SFR V10f w/o any problem by selected EFS Erase option, my KS20 is working fine by this .qcn approach.:D

It's OK, even you see the message "Memory Restore Failed!" on QPST, just press EXIT, and be patient to wait for KS20 reboot to normal idle status.:cool:

Hope someone can use this approach in brand KS20 and share his test result.:p
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raykisi:
Hi, xUmaRix

My KS20 also shows 81.59MB RAM instead of 128MB. I dunno how to explain this point but do you use USB pen drive or any Memory Storage Card or even you Hard Disk in you computer, the actual usable space is always smaller then the product's specification.

Like a 512MB USB drive will never shows 512MB in computer but may be about 500MB

Like a 80GB Hard DISK will never shows 80GB in computer but may be about 78-79GB
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dorik2k:
Your approach is good, maybe it could be a universal solution for restorin nv2 files. But there is one drawback. We have to give people a totally new way to backup and restore nv file. This is useless, as nv file can be restored on the phones with LGMP, which is easier to use, and the process is pretty simple.

The only way you cannot restore NV2 file in the phone is when you backed it up from an unbranded phone, and then restore it on the hybrid rom. but this is a paradox, as many people who have unbranded phones, can restore it on the branded rom, or the original unbranded ones. They have no need to use the hybrid roms... So there is no point at this.

As I said before, QPST is somehow a complicated tool, and not evereone can use it comfortly...

Anyway, this is another way to do the same thing, and it's better to know then don't.... So thnx for sharing your idea...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dcoloane:
I guess the explanation as follow:

Our KS20 comes with 256MB ROM + 128MB RAM = 384MB in total

FLASH ROM Size=56MB

Extracted ROM Size (Expanded and installed)=138MB

Remaining=190MB

Free Storage=110MB

Free RAM=80MB

Total=190MB

While WM6 boots up, it consumes 45MB RAM

This is just a guess

As we all know Lg ks 20 and htc kaiser use the same processor. Is it possible to use the gps driver from Kaiser in order to enable the gps reveiver (if there is an antena) for the Lg? The idea is based on the fact that the Kaiser users use our video driver to improve their video performace. Maybe we can also use their driver to enable the gps.

The registry location of the gps driver of the Kaiser is:

Hello, guys!

There is problem with flashing LG KS20.

One important thing is backup .nv2 file.

I can't make it.

I installed drivers LG Corona USB driver (but my computer found only 3 new devices, not 4, how it was described above).

On LG I made all instructions described above (hard reset, switch USB port to diag, turn USB port to LG composite mode, install windiag_open.cab, soft reset device).

When I'm starting LGMDP_1_1_.5_Build_12.11_Release (EURO) and trying connect, I see "No Phone" and so on.

I tried it twice on different computers and installed even EnableRapi.cab on LG with no success.

There is no such file windiag.dll in /WINDOWS on my LG KS20.

I downloaded and copied windiag.dll (_http://rapidshare.com/files/100897836/windiag.dll.html) to \WINDOWS on mobile,

then I sets such registry keys:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WINDIAG]

"Dll" = "windiag.dll"

"Prefix" = "WDG"

"Order" = dword:500

"Index"=dword:1

"FriendlyName" = "Windiag Driver"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WINDIAG\Settings]

"ServerIP" = "169.254.2.2"

"ServerPort" = dword:9C4

"MaxRetryCount" = dword:32

"RetrySleepMs" = dword:2710

"Enable" = dword:1

with no success. Finally I can't backup my .nv2 file.

OS Win XP SP2. ROM on LG is v10b (Russian).

I think problem with LG device (a computer shows Lg corona com port (11)).

Can somebody help me?

Is it OK, that there is no windiag.dll in \WINDOWS folder on LG KS20?

If it's wrong, can someone upload working version of windiag.dll?

What's problem?

Is there another way to backup my .nv2?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raykisi:
Hi, 42NeR

The "windiag.dll" is a hidden file in /WINDOWS that's why you can't find it, but it actually exist.

After installing windiag_open.cab and soft reset device, have you checked if these two lines did exist in registry?

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WINDIAG]

"Dll" = "windiag.dll"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WINDIAG\Setting s]

"Enable" = dword:1

If it did exist, it is probably the problem with your cable or computers.
