opt block????can't open the mobile!???

how to fix it??
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raykisi:
Sorry, this is not for OTP block fix.

For OTP block, you have to flash your phone again with "Erase EFS" option CHECKED.

If problem still arise,

Flash a Branded or Hybrid rom if the rom that cause OTP block is an Unbranded rom

OR

Fash an Unbranded rom if the rom that cause OTP block is a Branded or Hybrid rom

ok at step 1

-I am not sure how to install the WinDiag_Open.cab

-I am not sure how to import WinDiag.reg using the the two programs.. Both programs will not install or I don't know how to install them. I am on Vista HB 32bit.

This is probably easy but stuff knows how to do it.. whenever i sit down to fix my KS20 it is past midnight and I can't seem to get it working.....

EDIT

ok very easy you just

copy the cab file across to your phone with activesync

and then run it from your phone

sorry for being an idiot
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raykisi:
The cab and reg are supposed to use in phone not vista, so either install the cab or import the reg in KS20

I've just got a new ks20 ... had the rom V10b-00-262-02-10-OCT-21-2007 (OS 5.2.1626.3) ... I tried to update my rom ... but the "LGMDP_1.5_Build_12.13" always show "No phone" under the phone columm ...

I have done the same as the thread " [How To] Connect KS20 with LGMDP + Free Unbranded .nv2" of raykisi ...

Here what I've done :

1. Install "LG Corona USB Driver" in computer

2. Change necessary settings in engineering menu

At device:

-Enter this code to dialpad: 2676625720#

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

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

-press Done and soft-reset the device. (by turn off and on, I did)

3. Install "WinDiag_Open.cab" in the device and soft-reset it ...

4. Plug the usb cab to PC, at this step the PC found 3 new hardware and Installed completely (A port, A usb and ... something i forgot)

5. Run LGMDP_1.5_Build_12.13 (euro), click Select port, the LGMDP_1.5_Build_12.13 can found the port COM5 but there's always "No phone" under the phone columm and NONE the Model

Can u tell me what Server IP do in that ???
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raykisi:
@ExiAZ

We can not flash rom from other mobile device coz every mobile device has its own hardware config so need its own drivers for that. But by cooking rom, it is possbile to use other windows mobile device's os file, to build our own rom update to date.

There is nearly no more way i can think of to solve ur connection with LGMDP problem. The last method that i can think of, which is also a risky method, is flash your phone in emergency mode with an Official Unbranded rom with "Reset Database & Contents" option (normally we use "Erase EFS" option to avoid OTP problem but this will erase all .nv2 data), if OTP does not occur after flashing and the phone functionality work fine, then you can try to connect with LGMDP_EURO and do the .nv2 backup. However, if OTP does occur, then u will be never able to recover your original .nv2 data coz you hv to flash your phone again with "Erase EFS" option this time to bring ur KS20 back to live. In this case, to restore phone functionality and imei no. after flashing, you have to ask me for .nv2 file to restore it to your phone

For official unbranded english, check my another thread at my signature, they are ESA-10c, HK10a, Turkey-10d.

Remember dun flash the hybrid rom, it is for branded phone only, but your one should be an unbranded phone
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ExiAZ:
SO ... wat i can do now is

1/ Flash a off unbranded rom with Reset dtb&ct

---->a) Successful --> backup nv2 and do anything

or b) OPT --> Flash with EFS

2/ Ask you for nv2 file

Yeah ... and can u tell me how many percent of your nv2 will be the right one ??
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raykisi:
@ExiAZ

Yup the steps are right

my .nv2 would not be exactly the same as urs, but would work fine, no different at all

I now know your guy to go to!!!

thanks again!!!

....no to unlock my phones gps.........raykisi any help there?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raykisi:
@jeyo2000

Ur wife's phone also is KS20?

If so, and you want to flash it to spocky12's wm6.1 like you then pls backup your wife KS20's .nv2 file b4 flashing, then you dun hv to ask me .nv2 for her, coz you can restore the backup .nv2 file after flashing.

Dun flash in emergency mode again, only KS20 is bricked or a noob will do that, it is always safer to flash in normal mode

KS20 dun hv gps antenna so there is no way to unlock gps in KS20, coz it dun even hv one
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jeyo2000:
ok thanks!

Well...I am noob.

Ok I will make sure to back it up!

LGMDP problem

Hi!

I just bought the KS20 and i really would like to flash it to wm6.1. I tried to do everything by the instructions but LGMDP says "no phone" when in engineering mode setting USB to diag mode there reads in red that "Diag Setting can be applied in only "Ship" OS Image" I don't know if thats the problem since it says ok when applying the changes. Hel would be really appreciated. thanks!

I can't download any information from my LG: IMEI & BT adress @ Cat Date - in NV Backup in window there is only "NOT_ACTIVE______" I used LGMDP 1.5 Build 12.14 & LGE Corona Driver.

Please help or maybe is alternate way to backup NV2?

OK - problem solved :) by older version WinDiag. But the BlueTooth Adress is still "NOT_ACTIVE______" - that is OK?! Now my NV2 file is 115KB.

Phone turns off during .nv2 backup

Every time I do a .nv2 backup I get a timeout error after about 60 seconds, my phone turns off and the LED turns green. The back up seems to complete, but with this problem I can't flash with a new ROM, because the LGMDP wants to do a backup first. Anyone know how to fix this?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ExiAZ:
Where are you raykisi ... everybody need u now ....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raykisi:
@anabolo

The reason for the illegal use or OTP is in another thread that wrote by me, u can find it at my signature

@sayed21

The only thing that i can help is ask you to hard reset ur phone and do the step all over again and even change computer

@wesley83

For a normal .nv2 backup, ur phone should restart normally after backup process is done, but wht u mention is the green led on when restarting, that means emergency mode is on, but this should only happen when u flash ur phone under normal mode (Flash under normal mode = nv backup > restart phone to emergency mode > flash process begin > restore nv (all processes is done automatically)). So was u using the "NV Backup" option in LGMDP? Also, if LGMDP can't connect to ur phone when emergency mode is on, then i ll advice you to try on another computer coz the LG corona driver is not working properly in ur computer, keep try in other computer until u find one that work for you.

@ExiAZ

I hv sent you .nv2 to ur email, pls check it

Do a hard reset of ur phone, then go to "windows" folder, select "show all file", hv a check if "windiag.dll" is in there or not

If you dun hv "windiag.dll" in "windows" folder, then your phone is not support to connect in normal mode, even u follow all my steps in my thread it won't be able to connect to LGMDP in normal mode, in that case the only way u can do is ask me to make you .nv2 (need your imei no. and email) then flash the rom you want in emergencey mode and restore the .nv2 that i make you manually.

For KS20 with rom 10b can't connect to LGMDP because of missing "windiag.dll" :

Arf... not working somehow!

I have been trying (and trying... and trying...) to get my WM6.0 flashed to WM6.1 to be able to read SDHC cards of 8 GB or more. I found many instructions on how to flash and how to connect to LGMDP etc. I will briefly explain the steps I did and the status I am in now.

First off I downloaded the files I want to have installed in my machine. Then I downloaded LGMDP, the WinDiag files and the USB drivers. I installed the drivers on my pc and registered the WinDiag files to the registry. So far, so good.

I was able to connect with the tool, LGMDP - EURO to the telephone, select the right image and start. The back-up process completed pretty fast and all went good. After the back-up the screen of the telephone went black and LGMDP was waiting for a connection. Nothing else happened.

So I started searching a bit on this particular problem and found out that it might be the registry that is faulty. So I donwloaded a WinDiag_New cab file and installed that one on my telephone. After this install I couldn't connect to LGMDP anymore. I tried to roll it back, reinstall the older WinDiag files etc, but alas, to no avail.

I have cheked the registry (with a trial version of SK tools). The keys seem to be correct. I am getting quite desperate at the moment and I do hope you have the time and mood to help me out...

Strange things over here...

Well...

I managed to flash my LG KS20 to KissROM WWE, and everythig is just fine...

But under my phone's preferred network settings there are many new gsm networks I dont use and Even if I thick them out or change them in order...it says It couldnt save the settings to the network...

And sometimes (maybe caused by this) My phone changes to roaming mode to another GSM provider which I am not the subscriber of....

Its only just with my Yoigo Sim,

With the Vodafone ES, this problem not exists...

Is it possible to change the preferred networks list somehow from file or from outside?? :)

Or the NV2 holds all that info?

Success story of my "Normal mode connection":

My Environment:

- Vista Business

- LGMDP 1.5 Build 12.14

- Coronal driver from first post

- etc. all this from that thread...

I check my phone and found 10b firmware. Also I found that I does not have windiag.dll at phone. So I use cab's published at that thread. I did all steps from tutorial, but always got "No Phone". But today was lucky day - I found solution.

Solution was so easy:

- run FdcSoft Task Manager 3.1

- go to the Devices tab

- list till end and find $device\WDG1

- if it's not Loaded then press RUN button at toolbar...

- connect USB

- after that Normal mode start to work fine...

So as I understand problem was in WM that can not start WinDiag service. Do it by own hands and you will got "Normal" mode... NV2 backups and all other fun.
