So many noob around

You Noob ppl never backup .nv2 file b4 flashing

0000023000000<0 and No Phone = you hvn't restore .nv2 file after flashing, which you should backup b4 doing any flash job

You blind ppl, read this to get the idea of wht .nv2 is

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2597099&postcount=538

And read the posts in my signture to get more understand

To restore .nv2 manually by LGMDP Read this (from post #104 to #118):http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=2531611#post2531611

If you simply edit IMEI by QPST, your phone still won't work coause it still lost the calibration data

Good Luck

This is because your LG Corona USB Driver is not install properly in your computer

try it in another computer with vista prefer, because someone on the formu have the same problem as you b4 and he has 3 different copy of xp in 3 computers still got the same problem, finally i ask him to try vista, problem solved
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DMak81:
Hi raykisi, thanks for the .NV2 file!!! I uploaded the file and the phone function now works. But now, the phone locked with different Sim. Regardless of the Sim lock, I manage to followed the steps to unlock the phone and now it works like a charm. I flashed my KS20 with English Rom v10a 4-29-2008. THanks again God of KS20. :)

I read through it and tried to flash but it always says stops right after the nv backup and goes into emergency mode and then it says trying to communicate with phone, what should i do now:confused:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raykisi:
This is due to the LG Corona driver not install in your computer properly, i mean there may be some crash between them, my fd tried 3 computers with 3 different copies of XP got the same problem, but when he tried in Vista, work like a charm.

I dun mean XP must not working, it do work with most ppl

but if you can try it on another computer, then with Vista is preferred

If you dun have other computer, try format your computer and install with a fresh copy of XP or even Vista if you can

hi all, will it be obvious is my phone is branded? i bought a secondhand chinese one and im hoping to flash it to english.

the HK 10a is the latest version right? Will it work with any existing version - ie can you just flash on top or are there issues with different bootloaders (coming from an HTC tytn 2 background).

Cheers

Julian
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] julz:
sorry another n00b question, if i want to flash unbranded I need a branded rom to go with the HK 10a rom right? The instructions mention that French 10f was used. Is this a successful combination and will it result in me having an english menu phone? are there any pre-'cooked' roms where i can just use the one rom to get the latest unbranded version?

edit: i think this is what im looking for: [14Oct08] [Ks20] WM6.1 KisS20.4 Rom (OS 5.2.20755 Build 20755.1.4.0 ) UC [WWE|FR] http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=408323

No connection

Hi there.

I flashed the german rom from kiss and everything goes well, but I have the problem that I could not connect to any network provider. my provider is germany ePlus. The problem is the same that I had before flashing the rom. I Did write a new Imei Number but the problem does not change. No connection to any network. and after writing the new Imei I saw that the imei is not correct . the last digit is a "0" but it must be a "2" any ideas or should i now only have a nice pda?

I flashed it again and it works now.

EDIT :BUT NOW THE PHONE GOES OFFLINE WHEN I CONNECT IT WITH USB TO MY PC.AND DOES NOT CHARGE MY BATTERY

please help me

I didnt check the EPS erase, so now im getting the illegal use OTP block message.

I'm trying to boot in emergency mode but cant so far, so lets see if im doing it right?

I'm pressing the Call (Left button on the face of the phone) + the browser one (on the right side of the phone between the micro card slot and the camera button?)

Are those the right ones? Since i'm not getting green led, and the phone is booting in normal mode after i press the power button.

It's plugged to the PC via the cable.

What I'm doing wrong?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Fking1:
ok i managed to go throught that, it appears i had to unplug the usb first and then press the buttons

but there is another problem now, right after i click skip on the screen where you set the time, it restarts. And then again and again on the very same place.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Fking1:
seems like i have almost killed it

i cant restore the nv file in emergency mode and in normal mode it restarts the phone before the process is finished.

I tried with 2 different roms, (the lastest HK one and the english turkey one) the same thing happens with both.

Is there a way to restore the NV in emergency mode?

Any idea why it auto restarts (like few seconds after it starts the screen calibration and setup process)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raykisi:
no nv can be restore in emergency mode.

To restore nv manually with LGMDP in normal, pls refer to my thread

dear raykisi, thanx for ur tutorial

i have flash my KS20 with Kis ROM, but now i have problem, after backlight turn off and im press power button device not shown everything :( this a bugs or just my hardware device error?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Fking1:
thanks

but its hard since it restarts after like 10 secs

im not even sure that's the reason since i dont get the otp block anymore

could that auto restart be because of the nv file or i have to look for the reason somewhere else?

The question is NOT "will someone be able to dump the english rom?"

The format of the KS20 rom is not even similar to the ones we already know.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Fadd:
what must i do with the .dz file? its my first flashing thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] yasmeene:
There is no need to rebuild rom. As ANYBODY with ANY rom should take a backup via LGMDP (thats quite easy) and share these files and then ANYBODY can flash these files throught LGMDP to the device - format is always the same for every device.

This is NOT HTC device, so forget about htc-like self-instaling upgrades.

What we must do now is to find somebody with english rom, dump his rom via LGMDP and flash his rom (yes via LGMDP :o)) to our devices.

edit: it is not true, afaik backing up via LGMDP isn't possible

Hello,

@yasmeene,

How to make a Rom backup with LGMDP ?

LGMDP proposes only NV Backup...

Thank you
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Topogigi:
That should be cool, indeed. Please tell us how we can make a full rom backup with LGMDP. I really thought that NV stays for user data in flash (i.e. not the full rom).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Topogigi:
What about following the intructions in the first post of the thread? That should be a good start. When the program prompts for a flash file, just provide the name of your .dz file.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] OpenGL32:
it seems to me, that i've got an Problem.

i've downloaded all the needed things, rebootet my pc (clean one!) and installed USB Drivers correctly. My KS20 is Hardreseted and the service menue is done all needed settings.

i start "LGMDP_EURO" end select the vodafone 10E-Image. The Tool makes an backup, but my ks20 shuts down after completeing and the tool told me "waiting for connection ... 1...2...3..." eg.

if i put my accu out of my ks20 and disconnect the usb cable, the device reboots an connects correctly, the flash tool find it again and said "security mode" - and the flash abortet.

any tips?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] yasmeene:
If this happens is the led green? If so

do not disconect phone from cable and press SEND and Function Key simultaneously, keep them pressed and press power - this is emergency mode of device and try to reflash.

I have to apologize for that,it is not true. I just think I saw it in the LGMDP tools menu..

So LGMD probably cant do back ups :o((
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] OpenGL32:
i must tell again - the device works without any problems =) but i cant flash the new version.

if i download the vodafone software, i've got an *.bz File after extract the RAR-File.

If i download the ROM, from the first page (french sfr) - i've got several files - not only one.

i think i done something wrong - but what? - what is the "SEND" Button? The green one to start a phone call? =)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] yasmeene:
yes, the green one.

.bz is some clone of zip I think.. But you definitly needs these more files, but only one that can consider you is the one named WINCE Image in LGMDP - thats the rom image, in french rom is named flash.bin

I found this guide on a forum about how to dump a rom:

1/Configure your KS20 as for of sim-unlock (enable communication in Diag mode)

which is

enter code 2676625720#

menu will show, press

Port Setting → 1. Diag Setting → 1. USB Set for Diag → “OK” → “Back”.

(Port Setting → 1. Diag Setting →) 2. USB Switching → “LG Composite -DUN, DIAG”.

press "Done" and reset your device.

2/No Activate the sleep mode (the GSM has to remain active not to interrupt Com).

3/Install LGMDP_1_1_.5_Build_12.11_Release (you will find it on GSMFORUM)

http://rapidshare.de/files/38526282/LGMDP_1_1_.5_Build_12.10_Release.zip.html

4/Launch LGMDP_EURO.exe a window opens and looks for your device. Click Connect

5/Close the first window which opens just after the connection,

6/Then in the main window click Download.

7/The soft creates a file with the extension NV2 (type NV_KS20_20080315-134929.nv2)

Then please upload it to a site
