I have got an LG Ks20 Cellphone. After flashing it unfortunately I lost my IMEI number and I can not make calls anymore.

Could someone please be so kind and send me a link of a NV Backup. Else I do not know what to do with this phone. :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dorik2k:
there is in page 25 or above a link for a tool where you can put an imei number on the phone. your imei is written in your battery pack, or in the box. you should have at least the battery... write it in the program and youre done.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dorik2k:
have you changed the pc since your last post? or at least the usb port where you plugged the phone... try flashing the phone in emergency mode, or change the pc if you have not done it... if it fails with all these options, try a different cable if you can find one... otherwise, it may be faulty...

changing the pc normally will do the job... I have a useless pc, but it was my last hope when I bricked my phone, after failing to flash in my notebook... and now the phone works ok after flashing it...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] umutcuk:
thanks for your replay dorik2k. I tried to change my IMEI with the tool, but when i type my IMEI in and click "apply jobs" the tool only says "searching for usb devices". Nothing more....

So i ask you following questions:

- does the ks20 must be in emergency mode or normal?

- i installed the "LGCoronaUSBDriver" file

- my phone was unbranded, i flashed ist with a german vodafone rom, does this matter ?

- i used the usb cable which was included in the box / package so i think it must be original

i am very thankful for any support of you :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dorik2k:
- no it does not have to be in emergency mode, and if I remember well, it should not be

- yes, corona drivers is ok...

- no the language doesn't matter, I've used it with french and italian

- the original cable is the right one

follow the instruction at the first page till the soft reset:

How to:

-instal driver and application.

At device:

-enter this code to dialpad: 2676625720#

-engeneering 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.

this sets your usb port as a composite usb port.

if you've made a NV backup (LGMDP does it as default), try uploading this file and if it does not work then use the imei tool...

maybe after flashing your device, it returned to default settings, I can't remember if this is right, but you can run the LGMDP software. if this recognizes the phone that's allright... if all this fails, try changing PC... A fresh one could be better as there are no drivers conflicts... I'm not a pro, but I've flashed my ks20 three times. And no one was like the other. First the German got stuck with OTP block and thanks to emergency mode flashed it to french. Then now i'm in Italian. French was a good version, but couldn't understand it. Italian is ok, but waiting for english. good luck

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] swisstony:
Please help me!!

I was installing an update to the LGMENU.exe which someone had posted, this cause the KS20 to freeze on restarts, so i couldnt enter the "2676625720#" code. So i flashed from emergency mode without a backup.

Obviously by imei number got deleted. so i cant make calls etc

French phone BTW

so, downloaded the imei tool by "the new" same sp2 computer which completed the flash.

The "LG3G by the new".exe just says "searching for usb devices" when i try to update my imei number.

PLEASE please please i just got this phone today

i've been trawling these forums and gsmhosting.net for a solution, none so far.

PLEASE!

The flashing software detects everything fine after entering the 267662570 code, IMEI software still does not detect the phone.

nv2 file for KS20

Hello everybody !

I summarize my case, I bought my KS20 from eBay (declared as defect by the seller) thinking I could repair it ( the KS20 does not cease rebooting after powered on, just showing the LG LOGO, no way to power off with the POWER button but taking away battery). I reflashed it in emergency mode successfully with v10b DEU, but the same thing ! I suspect that I am in the same case as "lost nv2" (??) so, is there any way to get an nv2 file from anyone pls , so I can save my KS20 ? Thank you in advance for your help !

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] paxman:
Hello Koke80,

it looks like you had choosen the option "Erase EFS", when you made your Firmware-Update. The LGMDP-Updater automatically makes an Update in his folder - do you still have this backup (.nv2-File)?

If not, then you have to send it to the LG Support.

Greetings,

Werner

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sygma:
Same problem as U. Flashed with new ROM and deleted by stupid misteke NV2 folder. So in 1 month Im searching for alternative solution on the web. Find QPST solution to change phone IMEI, I did it but last 15th digit not responding with my box IMEI and there is no solution to change it because this last digit is calculated by phone. So is there any solution to resolve this problem of many people I saw on the forums? I have no network and could not make any phone calls...Holding KS20 phone as Radio and MP3 player is very funny for 400 bucks :-)

USB Interface

I see there are a lot of flashed KS20 out there. But I still belong to the class that cannot connect to the KS20 via the successfully installed Corona USB drivers (ver1.0.0). The diagnostic interface is on COM8 and I tried the modem on COM2 and COM5. But neither the modem can be queried nor the LGMDP 1.5 build 12.10 gets access to the phone.

I tried it on 2 computers with varied COM-settings, to no avail, googling and searching the forum either. I have no more ideas but asking for HELP. :)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raykisi:
I got the same problem here, i bought a KS20 from HongKong with Traditional Chinese rom, and trying to do a backup of my rom and my .nv2 file but unfortunately the two computers that i tried both cannot recognised my phone in LGMDP, the program can found the com port that my phone connected to, but just under "phone" and "model" it shown "no phone" and "none" respectively

i try all versions of LGMDP (Euro, H3G, Open, US) but still not working

Any Solution?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raykisi:
If that's a real Eng-Rom of KS20, do you guys think we can simply rename the "part02.raw" to "part02.dz" and flash it with LGMDP as a .dz file?

Well, i know this sound crazy and too simple, but that's the only way i can think of....lol
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DaLiV:
yes it's real ... but how to conver to .dz while seems noone knew (but i'm not interested ...) only can say - anybody of you must do that from .raw files, as in future you will want customze firmware or make updates to new builds .. and for that mainly will needed tools from that resource ... and you need to know how modified firmware possible to flash back ... so anybody must be interested in that and make comparisions/encodings/other tests for getting flashable frmware without risk ...

don;t think .dz will have same structura as only one part ... check for compressions/reversible encodings ... and when from .dz you will get .nb0/.raw structure - then you also will be able make reverse operations to .dz ...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raykisi:
Hi, DaLiV

I have searched over the net and it seems like you are the 1st person publish this KS20 Eng-Rom in the internet, so where did you get this Rom from?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DaLiV:
from one good man (who alowed to me do small exploration of it) KS20 (personally i'm have p525 and make own firmware compilations, so utilities which mainly used in that topic was not interested for me, dumping was done with standart procedure for wm devices /it's described here on wiki,forum.../)

if you not trust - can check inside that .raw - all procedures how to extract that dump and how to make back .raw/.nb0 persist here on that resource ...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raykisi:
DaLiV,

Sorry to make you misunderstood me, i trust you but i was just wondering that Rom is a Dump Rom or an Original Rom from LG. Now, refer to what you said, it is a dump rom, but i am new with PDA phone and known nothing about compilation of own Rom, i dun really understand what you said.

Would you mind to point me a direction with some posts regarding to things like standart procedure of dumping rom from wm device, procedures how to extract that dump and how to make back .raw/.nb0, and also how to make own firmware compilations, so i can start to learn with these?

Also, normally the other KS20 Roms that exist in the internet are in .dz format but why yours one is in .raw format? is it because or different dumping process or what?

Unfortunately, you are not one of the owners of KS20, otherwise there may be already a flashable KS20 Eng-Rom existed. Anyways, thx to all ur work.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DaLiV:
main tools:

-for dumping: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=XdaUtils

-for editing: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM5EditROM

at all good point to start:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/

many of tools may/must be adapted for using for each device ... but generally works ... possible need any unlocking tweaks for tool running

also must see rom development kitchen collections:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?auto_redirect=1&pagename=TitleSearch&s=kitchen

it's base - but in forum will be more additional information and in most cases that may be more informative, as on wiki may be outdated ...

how to extract was in that topic ... search for "itsutils" and "pdocread" inline ...

but what need to think and have in mind, not so easy to describe ... as programming skills/knowledges needed in most cases...

.dz - that dumped from lg phones by tools described in that topic .. and have internal format for that service tool .. and noone while was not interested in rom modification ... once it's happen - process will turns to mine type of procedure ... or similar, but cross-allowed ... and will be knowledge about reverse procedure for repacking to format known for service tool (.dz) or will be known direct flashing procedure ...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] okkio1982:
First of all, hard reset your ks20 (just press 3 buttons together for 10sec: volume down, call button and power button... till the LED become blue,green,red)

then import this file into the registry of your ks20

http://rapidshare.com/files/101268724/WinDiag.reg.html

you need a taskmgr on your ks20 that can import .reg files...

If you don't have taskmgr, I found an executable (.cab) version, but I didn't tried it.

In the site below, it states that we can buy "Download Account For Vygis" for 6 months at USD14.90. And in Vygis's website, they stated that they have ROM images with English, Russian, Chinesse, Germany, French, Greek, Polish, Czech, Swedish, Portuguese and Italian languages for KS20.

So, may be we can buy the "Download Account" and access to their site for the english ROM and flash it with LGMDP.
