connect error

I try connect with LGMPD_EURO, i install windiag... And LGMPD say "state: disable, PHONA: N/A!

Why?? WHYYY?

I use KisS20.4 WWE rom. Pls help.

Un grand merci à RAYKISI, pour ce NV2 qu'il m'a fait parvenir. J'ai pu dépanner un pote...

Encore merci Raykisi, bonne continuation!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] munnergep:
If i start the windiag manually with the fdcsoft taskmanager, the lgmdp shows my phone (after a softreset does not show, so the windiag starts only manually).

So, the nv backup is ok, but when the phone goes to emergency mode, the lgmdp says, try to connect the phone... and nothing else happening.

My question is: is the emergency mode uses the windiag? If does, it is no way to rom update? how can i force the wm to always start this dll?

(All regedit settings is ok, the windiag in the windows folder.)

sorry for my basic english
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raykisi:
emergency mode doesn't use the windiag, the reason that you can't conect to LGMDP in emergency mode is the problem of your computer, you need to find a computer that can connect in emergency mode
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] munnergep:
Thank you for the fast reply!

I'll try it.

(i read somewhere else, that the usbcorona does not like the AMD proc. with nForce chipset.. is it possible?)

Ok. It is done with an Intel based machine.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dimi89:
can any1 please help to get .nv2 file???

i did:

(a) Normal mode connection method

Step 1: Install "LG Corona USB Driver" in computer

LG Corona USB Driver

http://rapidshare.com/files/99459712...aUSBDriver.rar

Step 2: Change necessary settings in engineering menu

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 will set your usb port as a composite usb port.

Note:

"LG Composite" is for flashing new rom, backup and restore .nv2 ONLY.

"Microsoft USBfn" is for conecting to Windows Mobile Device Centre or ActiveSync

Step 3: Install "WinDiag_Open.cab"

Step 4: Soft reset KS20

Step 5: Plugin USB to KS20 and press "select port" in LGMDP(LGMDP_EURO) to connect to it

what i need to do now? how to get that .nv2 file??

There isn't many functions in LGMDP, and it is quite straightforward in using it, try to play with it, it won't kill your phone as long as ur said u had backup ur NV, i have explained every bit that i know in my threads, if that still can't help you, i would hv nth to say.

Good luck

Hi people,

I have been searching this forum for weeks, and still unable to flash and update my KS20.

I have the same problem as anabolo (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=2915745#post2915745), but any version of windiag is no help for me.

Telephone seems to be unbranded (only LG logo) and already flashed before. Just guy who flashed it before made a "good" job. When I connect phone via LGMDP, and try to make backup, all I get is NOT___ACTIVE__ for IMEI, Bluetooth...

ROM version is V10b_E_3.1.1.0215J and I had no windiag file originally.

Performed hard reset and still unable to connect phone in Emergency mode...

Any help plz...

Many thanks in advance...

Can you help me to find a way to unlock my device? I have a brazilian version of KS20, so the "lg_.exe" can't generate de unlock code.. My model is called MS25, branded from "VIVO" (Brasil).

Error message below
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] llapao:
Hello all.

It seems that raykisi is not available for some days.

Nevertheless I still have some questions:

A KS20 unlocked is the same as an unbranded KS20?

(Please check http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=377127)

After I use the above unlock procedure, what are my next steps to install a WM 6.5 rom?

Are we able to generate our own .nv2 file with our own IMEI like raykisi suggests? How?

Does the latest WM 6.5 has the GSM disconnection issue?

I do apologize if these questions doesn't make sense to you, but they exist in my head :)

Note: I did sent my IMEI to raykisi and I am still waiting for an answer.

Cheers and thanks in advanced,

German Vodafone v10e -> KisS 20.5a: Is this possible at all?

Hi - seems I am too stupid to either read or understand properly - I just can't get the nv2 restored after I have flashed a KisS 20.5a on my branded KS20 (German Vodafone 10e).

Following the straight forward way leaves me with an IMEI-less device (erase EFS = yes) on KisS 20.5a where I cannot get a connection to the LGMDP when WM is up.

After KisS hast started up I did:

- access the System Programs folder and executed Engineering Menu

- set the port to LG composite

- set the DIAG to USB

- Soft Reset

- WM is up again, I get in LGMDP port is available, but Device = none

LOCKED AWAY from nv2 restore :-(

- going to Emergency Mode directly, LGMDP finds the port + device, but

- Choosing NV-Restore tells me something like "NV file not available"

(seen this also down the thread here... already, but no solution description)

When I load back the old branded Vodafone ROM (via Emergency) it starts up (still without IMEI), but after doing the necessary (Open_DIAG, Engineering Menu, USB = Composite, Diag = USB, Soft-reset) - in WM the LGMDP does detect the device and I can do an NVRestore there. After another Soft-Reset I have back my old device (and IMEI).

I have the necessary manipulated nv2 for the KisS 20.5a ("unbranded" nv2 with the "LG - KS20 NV2 - QCN TOOLS.exe" at hand - if I could only load it when the new Rom is in the device :-(

I am not new to flashing (this my 5th WM device and all had cooked ROMs on them some time) - but I feel like a fool now with the LG (after with HTC everything was so comfortable).

I also tried different USB ports, USB hosts and even PCs - all the same result. Above described sequence was all performed on ONE USB port of the PC.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] scylla69:
if U have already unbranded nv2 than flash your phone in emergency mode without "erase EFS" option and then you'll have 20.5a with unbranded nv2 already in your phone
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tobbbie:
Well, I have the "unbranded" at hand, but not on the device yet - simply because on the device is a branded ROM.

I also tried the reverse (as you suggested):

- first restore the UNBRANDED nv2 (while the branded ROM is still on device) while in "normal" mode

- then reboot (-> to check if I get the expected error about "illegal use": yes it is there)

- as the device is not usable with this error pop-up you have to use emergency mode to continue, so

- then go to emergency mode and load the KisS 20.5a

...now the "funny" thing is that the "illegal use" STILL bothered me in KisS :-((

That has really surprised me - and that was when I stopped after the 5th different sequence of getting KisS up and running (sigh!).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] scylla69:
ok... I didn't say it clearly enough... first, flash your phone with unbranded nv2 (made with the tool that you can find in download sections [I belive you have already done that] ) + lets say kiss20.4 (but for unbranded phones since your nv2 file is now unbranded) and then when your phone works on kiss20.4 unbranded (no OPT notification) flash it in the emergency mode to 20.5a (without "erase EFS").

some people said they can't flash to 20.5 in normal mode, and this is the way you can solve it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tobbbie:
Well - what is different in what you propose to what I have done already?

What works is to flash the branded variant of the KisS 20.4 (as expected).

What I tried and that does NOT work are:

- flash KisS 20.5a + (unbranded) nv2 file + erase EFS from "normal mode"

This because the sequence of the loading here is to:

- no nv2 backup (because the setting to load the "default" = unbranded nv2)

- go to emergency mode + load ROM

- reboot + try to reconnect to load the nv2, but it cannot find the connection.

Here I wonder how that can ever work - simply as the fresh loaded ROM will default to USB = USBfn and this will not connect to LGMDP.

This is why I tried to reverse the nv2 restore (via menu, no erase EFS possible) before the ROM loading and then load the ROM (no EFS erase of course - then the loading of the nv2 would be useless).

-> Seems like "erase EFS + load nv2" is different to "restore nv2"

I think I need to erase EFS and restore nv2 while WM is up first and THEN load the new ROM.

My problem is that the KisS 20.5 cannot connect to the LGMDP, no matter which settings in Engineer Menu regarding USB and Diag. Does KisS 20.5a have the Windiag.dll included? Do I need to run the Open_Diag.cab (doing just 2 reg settings) again?

I will continue some sequences of loading (possibly also via KisS 20.4), but the core problem (for me) is that KisS 20.5a does not connect to LGMDP - what is the trick to get this?!

Will KisS 20.4 connect to LGMDP while WM is up?

Another thing that bothers me is the distinction of "normal mode" and "emergency mode". Looking at the ROM loading sequence, the ROM is ALWAYS loaded in "emergency mode", it is just that the "normal mode" prefixes this with an nv2 backup which cannot be restored when WM comes up due to USB settings.

This is quite normal imho, simply as in "emergency mode" just the bootloader is present so that all areas of the device can be written to. It is a pity that the device does not show some progress bar on the screen (which I was used to see from RUU for the HTC devices).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tobbbie:
It worked moving to KisS 20.4 unbranded and restore of nv2 in Normal mode when WM is up. KisS 20.5a just loading - see if LGMDP can connect later...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tobbbie:
(from the guide by ibanezman192):

If you have branded: 20.5a and 20.X have a little problem and the phone cannot be recognized correct in LGMDP. Flash to 20.4 or other unbranded rom, restore an unbranded .nv2 and then install the rom in emergency mode.

Not knowing this has cost me a day of unsuccessful flashing back and forth. ARGH!

So also the steps described to get from a branded to unbranded ROM in the first post of KisS20.5a are not working! -> this needs a hint there right at the spot where everyone should read it!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bachoto:
Hi tobbie

I had the same problem flashing 20.5a. After flashing can not connect the LGMDP, hence can not restore nv2 and no connection to the network.

It seems that you managed it starting with kiss20.4 unbranded.

I have kiss 20.4 but NV2-Tools says that my nv2 file is branded. I do not know if my rom kiss 20.4 is branded or unbranded ( no logo at start).

Please tell me how to transform my kiss20.4 branded to unbranded. Do I only need to change tha status of my nv2 to unbranded by using NV2-Tools and than to inject ONLY this file (without the rom).

Or maybe I need to flash a new unbranded kiss20.4. (can you post a link for downloading) And than seems easier to proceed further to kiss 20.5a.

Thanks in advance
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tobbbie:
I think KisS20.4 is by default unbranded. The Germanized version does have a set of internal files that make the ROM itself either branded or unbranded, but I don't know if the initial one has it as well.

You need to "unbrand" your nv2 backup with the tool (LG - KS20 NV2 - QCN TOOLS.exe) and use that in the process of upgrading the ROM.

The logo at the start is only an indicator for stock ROMs - the cooked ones supply their own logo.

No connection

Hy all!

Last week I tried to flash my phone to WM 6.5 with a friend of mine's computer. The guy has a KS20 and he told me he can flash my phone also. The problem is that his phone's rom is 10e while mine is 10b. He flashed a wm which was good for his pda, but on mine it didn't worked. It didn't boot up at all (I think because of the 10e version and 'cause my friend didn't erased the EFS). I had to go home (300 km away), so I thought I will fix my phone at home. But when I tried to connect in emergency mode (the phone still didn't boot up, it freezes when configuring the screen), LGMDP didn't recognized the phone at all. When I've tried to select port in LGMDP (euro) there wasn't any port displayed. I've tried to reinstall Corona driver and ActiveSync, rebooting the compuer, and I even tried it on a laptop with Windows 7, but nothing helped.

Is any way to connect the phone to my computer?

My phone's rom version is v10b. I use Windows XP SP3, Asus M2N-MX motherboard with nForce 430 chipset.

BTW, is there any good unbranded WM port (either 6.1 or 6.5) to 10b phones? Or how can I change the rom version to 10e (if it's possible)?

Thanks for any help!

Hello,

I tried to flash my KS20 with the new kiss 20.5.

Previously i had a kiss 20.4 branded flash.

I did a nv2 backup and then used the backup to unbrand the phone.

I must've failed to understand correctly the instructions for this process.

When i flashed the phone with the LGMDP program i selected the kiss 20.5 unbranded rom and the unbranded .nv2 file.

I then proceeded to flash the phone but when the phone was supposed to restore the .nv2 the phone was not detected.

Now i don't have a option to select the .nv2 file (i still have the original backup and the patched .nv2) and i'm asked to select the phone model and in the phone properties LGMDP displays 'no phone'.

What can i do to get the KS20 working as phone again with the new kiss 20.5??

Please help...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sumersetpt:
Anyone????
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tobbbie:
You failed to read the upgrade docs.

The way from branded to unbranded cannot be done with 20.5 as the 20.5 cannot connect to LGMDP in "NormalMode" to read/write an nv2.

You must have an unbranded nv2 ready to do the things below:

- You have to flash the branded 20.4 in Emergency Mode

- then flash the 20.4 unbranded in Normal Mode (erase EFS)

-> this allows to get the unbranded nv2 loaded in the 2.nd step of the loading

- then flash the unbranded 20.5

LG KS20 not detected by Windows

Hello.

I'm back to using my KS20. It crashes several times per day, and it seems ROM 1.0b is the culprit. I'm having problems upgrading to 1.0f. What I have done

1- The phone seems to be unbranded (no operator logo...), bought from The Phone House in France, for use on the SFR network.

2- I went to the Engineer menu, Set 'USB set for Diag' OK, switched phone fully off (long press), the back on (full reboot)

3- Same thing to set USB to LG Composite, fully rebooted again.

4- installed the LG Corona driver on my PC

5- Installed LCDMP-Euro on my PC

6- ran the small registry hack on the phone

7- connect the phone to the PC

8- nothing happens, phone not detected either by Windows nor LCMDP.

I've read through the forums, it seems I'm doing everything I should... Any help would be extremely welcome.

Side question: If I manage to Flash, should I upgrade to 1.0f or to Kiss20.5 ? I need reliability above all.

Thanks for your advice,
