Raykisi just the best! Send me a nv2 that i can load every ROM i want!!! Thank you!!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] yvan02:
hi,

i've got a problem.. (if hv got no problem i wasn't here.. :p)

i've have an unbranded ks20 in 10f (french)

i've try to flash it with the rom Kiss20..

(i've backup my original NV2 files)

All hv work.. i've made a soft reset.. and here the phone freeze a startup on LG screen (many tries)

So i decide to flash it in emmergency mode to restore the 1.0F unbranded Rom.. but it was late and i've pick up the branded one..

The phone restart but no network (that's normal i suppose..)

so i reflash it again with the UNBRANDED ROM...

but now the phone don't want to restart.. alxays block on startup screen (LG with black background).. the led in the left corner become blue and after red and green to finish sequence.. but it freeze..no WM6 startup screen..

I've try to reflash it again to be sure that Erase EFS is selected.. but always nothing appen !!

Any solutions ???

edit i'm going to try the hybrid Rom..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raykisi:
@yvan02

If you flash in emegenery mode, u hv to restore ur .nv2 manually after flash to hv phone service, no phone service means .nv2 hvn't restore.

I m not sure about you problem, it doesn't seen ur problem is OTP or illegal use, but just blank screen can't even boot into windows. So, may be you should try on another computer.

BTW, is your computer AMD based? i heard that AMD not working very gd with LGMDP so that may coz you bad flash
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] yvan02:
1st Thx for ur reply

i know that i should restore manually the nv2 files in emmergency mode..

i've got the original one..

i've got a dual core Intel ... my XP is new since yesterday no application instead LGMDP.. and corona drivers strict minimum..(dual boot with vista.. but prefer do not use vista..)

I follow all the step to flash, my mistake was to flash my unbranded KS20 with a branded ROM (don't flash during the night :p)

I've tryed many rom to enable the boot of my KS 20 but always the starting up Screen LG and nothing else, the led color sequence is good and after nothing else.. always this f**** black LG screen..:mad:

I don't know which ROM i can use to flash in emmergency mode to make it start again to have acces to the normal mode..

I loose my brain on it... should i go to LG service ???
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raykisi:
@yvan02

Normally any KS20 rom can flash in emergencey mode, if you feel you hit the dead end, try flash with other computer
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] yvan02:
so you confirm me that i can take any rom to flash my KS20.. and he will boot ?

i know issue about nv2 files for the network detection.. but i only said about starting..

If he doesn't start that mean that i could have an hardware problem ?

Or computer "problem"..

Does it work on vista ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raykisi:
@yvan02

LGMDP can works on Vista, i use vista too

connecting Problem

hi..

anyone can help me??

when i flash my KS20 after backup NV file the phone cannot connect with computer

in screen appear:

"Trying to communicate with phone"

I've been waiting about 5 minutes but the phone still cannot connect

some one can help?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raykisi:
@R1CH

Your computer is not working with the LG Corona driver very well in emergencey mode, so you hv to try it on another computer
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] d3thstalker:
I cant even enter the engineering mode on my KS20. I am not using the official dialer. After entering the code, nothing happens. Any explanation for this phenomenon?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spocky12:
Yes, engineering code check and activation is made in official dialer dll, if you replace it with a generic one, it's normal that it doesn't work anymore.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] d3thstalker:
So far i have only backed up my NV2. I dont dare move on, this sounds too risky. Moreover i dont understand some elements of this whole flashing thing. I am afraid i will screw up my phone.Lol. Anyone here who has successfully flashed his phone lives in Singapore? Perhaps you could help me.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] maaris:
Thanks to raykisi .nv2 file I was able to flash new firmware to my KS20 !

originaly my phone was not detected in normal mode with LGMDP_EURO, so it was imposibile to make .nv2 backup. Now i flashed KisS20.4 Rom and it is faster then original.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] d3thstalker:
In case my phone dies during the flashing process, will LG repair it for me? Or will my warranty be voided? If LG releases an official update, will i be able to upgrade to it if i am using a cooked ROM? My phone successfully connects to LGMDP w/o any problems, what are the chances of a successful flash?

Gosh! This is scary! I dont wanna screw my new KS20... Dont know what to do...:confused:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] d3thstalker:
Am i supposeto check the NV Default option before flashing?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raykisi:
@d3thstalker

If LG knows that you flash the phone urself, of course your warrenty would be voided as you r not supposed to flash it yourself, but would they no that is another question.

You can flash to any KS20 rom as you like, official or cooked roms as long as you can find the download link of the rom you want to download.

As long as you hv backup ur .nv2, there has not risk at all coz if u hv a bad flash you still can save it by flashning it again in emergency mode.

I hv flashed my phone more than 50 times and it is still alive so the current sucessful flash percentage is 100% to me.

"NV Default option" in LGMDP is used if you want to restore another .nv2 (or manually restore .nv2), like if your current imei on phone is 123456789... and you hv another .nv2 file with imei no.: 987654321... and you want to change to use that imei no. (i.e. change to use that .nv2), then you Browse for the location of that .nv2 and check the "NV Default option". But normally just leave it blank
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] d3thstalker:
Thanks for the info raykisi, that answers my questions perfectly. I have successfully flashed my KS20 to KisS20.4. Its great now!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] yvan02:
Hi, i've sent my KS20 to Repair. They return me repaired and replace the main board. On my first try the flash was fine.. thanks for ur support.

And very nice work from spocky12..

Good day guys. ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DoM1N:
hey raykisi,

like I wrote in mail: I flash Kiss Rom, then I restore nv (thank you for support :) ). IMEI is back, ks20 is running. But when I turn phone function on it constantly reboot. It finds gsm and such, but I can't call anybody and it reboot.

What could be wrong?

I've got polish unbranded phone - with (like you wrote) special nv2. Phone is unbranded with branded nv2 from orange or smth like that :) I also tried to flash turkish 10d rom. PDA works perfectly, when I restore nv2 it is rebooting.

regards
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] impressa:
Hej DoM1N, I was having similar problems -the only solution that worked for me was using all mbn files from polish Orange edition (ex. 10c that you can fin don this forum) and then taking Flash.bin from any ROM you please (ex. KisS20.4 from a sister thread)

Dun worries about whether your KS20 is having KS20 firmware or MS20 firmware in it, just try to flash it with steps in this thread

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raykisi:
@souzadavi

So do you mean you get to normal mode then emergecy mode and it suck there, or you can't connect in normal mode but only can connect in emergency mode?

Pls give details about wht you hv done(every single step), otherwise i can't help you.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] souzadavi:

any ideia???
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raykisi:
@souzadavi

Did you backup your .nv2? and restore it after flashing?

Pls read my thread, i m not going to repeat those points.

If you was flashing in normal mode, a .nv2 backup should generated by LGMDP, so check the LGMDP.exe folder for .nv2
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] souzadavi:
yes i read all forum, and read again.. thanks to reply and for all information....

I did the backup but my mobile aren´t connecting to normal mode anymore... i only can connect to emergency mode.... i have the nv

i saw also when updated the firmware that my phone lost the IMEI... i readed other topic to use qscp to write IMEI number, I installed the program and connected to phone, and write the IMEI, but still not working...

i think i need write the IMEI and do other configuration... do you have any idea???

i wrote the imei but the other configuration i´m not sure what should i do....

thanks again...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raykisi:
@souzadavi

.nv2 = imei + phone functionality

If you did restore ur nv after flashing, imei no. should be rite and won't having "no phone service" problem

You dun need QPST, it is useless!!! Your nv is the key

First flash

Hi Friends.

I've got today a unbranded German KS20 on my hands.

After reading a lot about flashing this phone I am facing with some problems.

1) I am using the connection program recommended here and installed the corona drivers;

2) I have follow the Dorick2 instructions (as this phone as no soft reset buton I only turn it off and on again. By the way: How to perform a soft reset?);

3) I want to put an unbrabded English ROOM with the .dz file;

Problems:

1) I start LGMDP app »» select port»» autmatically the prog. find prot com5 "enable" »» connect »»the app doesn't identify the KS20 but I can select it from a pop up menu »» I click connect and a new window appears tittles "LGE Mobile (Emergency mode).

Here I can browse for the .dz image file. There is also the option to "erase EFS". I undurstand that I must select it. aloso I can click on "start" or "Original" (???) - Wnere must I click?

2) I click START and after 9,1 secs appears "error! Security Mode"

So that, I can't flash my phone. Any suggestions?

Also I can't backup nv file.

I am waiting for your help. Thanks

After many tries, problem is solved and my new phone is now "speaking" english.

Thanks to all for your knowledge here shared with us.
