Well, tbh: I use my KS20 only with 6.5, and it works. I dont use MMS, and GSM reload is about 1 sec so u got plenty of time to answer/whatever.

Anyway, Farah's 6.5 is currently more stable than Kiss 20.X.

Cheers
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] laocheebye:
yeah kiss 20.x is currently very unstable and keeps hanging. has a longer gsm reload time too. but kiss 20.5 is working well for me so far. still havent seen the benefits of the extra ram. opening too many aplications at once still hangs the phone even though i may have a lot of ram left.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Major A:
Modifying the Shellres96.dll is not a good option for WM 6.5 when the base is not fully stable. There is more important priorities to focus on.

not working

Am i doing it right? mine is a unbranded

1st attempt:

Flash ROM kisS20.5 + (unticked) NV Default =

LGMDP shows "trying to connect with phone" and handset just went blank with green light on top right.

2nd attempt:

ticked NV default and put in the *.Nv2 file i created with NV tool.

LGMDP shows "trying to connect with phone" and handset just went blank with green light on top right.

waited for nearly an hour for both attempts.

Pls someone kind enough to guide me. I follow according to the instruction.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] scylla69:
If your ks is already unbranded try this:

or you can use a virtual OS.

and always remember to back up Ur nv2 file.

When I did it like this it forced an emergency flash. See post above. So please make sure you have the NV first. Then do as suggested or as I did and reflash with just the NV file ticked (takes only a minute).

new bug

Hi all,

I had a new bug. It happened 2 times (seems to be random). When the phone is on, I don't press any button, then the backlight goes off, and it freezes. Only way to make it works back is to remove the battery :(

I installed only Resco Explorer (without today plugin) and resco keyboard, nothing else.

Is xx july 09 means next 20.5a ROM will be avalaible before august? :p (nah Spocky, just joking)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spocky12:
Yeah, I knew I shouldn't have written the month :p
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] laocheebye:
spocky take your time to integrate extendir with the rom. i think the benefits it brings will be huge. especially when the ram increase didnt seem to speed up the system in any way. (still getting sleep of death)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Anycall:
Used! 46M Free Ram , Cool!

Thank your !
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Major A:
You successfully got rid of locks up with extendir ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spocky12:
Yes, I think so.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Deosneos:
So where will we see most perfomance improvements with extendir?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Major A:
Well, we should see benefits mainly with system files access, and with all softwares installed in the extendir space. It's a convenient way to obtain a snappy WinMo, plus a chosen UI (wahtever you will like, PointUI, Manila...) with optimal and quick access.

Hi Spocky

i just write

But the alarms also no sound...:confused:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spocky12:
@alexhon : it's a bug that's already been discussed before. It's fixed it upcoming KisS20.5a release (I beleive I've also uploaded a patch somewhere in this thread)

Btw, I'm not home tonight, so I guess I shouldn't have written "xx/Jul/09" for the next rom release. Anyways, it's almost finished, I think it'll be done by the end of the week.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] willoute76:
You should not write "end of the week", but "end of a week" :D

And, where are you going tonight ? You have a girlfriend isn't it? You are leaving us alone with our KS20 and we will never have new ROM anymore !?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Pubee:
Excuse my noobiness

i haz a WM 6.0 5.2.1626

ROM v10c_A_3.1.1.00215J

My intention is to upgrade WM6.0 to WM6.1

Not sure if i got it correct. I understand upgrading ROM means upgrading my WM6.0, is it correct?

I have downloaded this copy ROM, is it the latest?

KisS20.5_Rom_5.2.21109_Build_20755.1.4.0_WWE

A bit confuse the eng.menu has option to view OS version and ROM version too. So if upgrading ROM means upgrading WM, why should there be 2 version info display?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] milaq:
hi there and welcome to the forums.

not with every rom flash comes a wm upgrade, but YES with THIS rom you will upgrade to a new wm version.

it's a very good point to upgrade to kiss (6.1 or maybe 6.5) because in my opinion it's the best rom currently available for the ks20 and the stock ks20 roms suck due lack of stability and functionality because our ks20 manufacturer cares sh** about upgrades.

as said in the first post the kiss20.5 is a 6.1 and the 20.X a 6.5 upgrade. besides the os build they match more or less exactly.

take 6.1 for stability and 6.5 for titanium.

BUT i would suggest you wait a few more days for the 20.5a and 20.Xa versions from spocky.

if u flash i would recommend to read a few flashing tutorials that you don't brick it ;)

happy flashing :D

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] scylla69:
- edit posts. don't write one after another

- have you installed the LG corona usb drivers ? (if you did and the problem still occurs, try setting a virtual os (XP with sp2) in virtual box http://www.virtualbox.org/ or any other program that can do this.)

- you can't transfer both rom and nv2 file at the same time in the emergency mode.

+read threads connected with flashing + this one, your problems have been discussed many times. it really doesn't hurt to ready :0

don't flash your phone until you make a copy of your nv2 file.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spocky12:
@hengp : Yeah, forgot about this improvement, though it's really great for people who like games : KisS20.5 is updated with drivers that make most of the games run with hardware acceleration.

@xenon_art : Thanks for the donation, I really appreciate that some people still support the countless hours I spend to improve this device.

I'll update the rom pretty soon (maybe tonight), just testing if it's stable enough to release. I added extendir + a few other speed optimizations.

-->yea bro....i have installed corona drivers...and it also detects it on com5 of mine....then i have to manually select my KS20 in lgmdp_euro version.....but then...the IMEI no. and other details dont get filled...

--->i did read one of the thread and now i know that....to flash in non emergency mode all we need is to press some 2XXXXXXXX# no. and change the port settngs and also COPY the WINDIAG in d phone......n thats it (please correct me if i am wrong)

and then we can have the option to backup our nv2 right ????

--> thanks for your response....

:)

--> also i have this question....is the 1st post of this...thread...that means the link of wm6.1 kiss 20.5 the most updated one....as i read all the posts yesterday and got confused....cos the date goes back in july 2008 and people said they have instaled kiss 20.4 n liked it so please clear this for me !! and if you could just briefly tell me what are the issues apart from d ones mentioned that kiss20.5 users are facing !!

here's the link for your connection problem, the process you're talking about is described in method (a) in the first post "Normal mode connection method"

read also this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=405945

and check your LGMDP ver.

once your done with your connection problem, backup your nv2 and then unbrand it

.... here's the tool that will unbrand your nv2 file : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=534704

and as it goes for the whole thread... :) I don't know if I'm right 'coz im here only from the ver. 20.4 but I belive this thread was started with it, and now Spocky12 just updated the first post (20.4->20.5) so that's why it's so long + all those irrelevant posts ;-p

nevertheless, you can still find the 20.4 version in the second post.

Spocky12 is about to release (can't wait ;-p) updated version of 20.5 (20.5a) that shouldn't have all those bugs mention on previous pages

Finally,

I would suggest U to first flash your phone with 20.4 + unbranded nv2 in normal mode and then (once nv2 on your phone will be unbranded) you can easily flash in emergency mode that's more convenient and faster way (you don't have to install windiag and change things in Eng.Menu all the time)

cheers

thanks a lot...but i forgot to mention that i have an Unbranded KS20.....so all i am concerned about is just backing up my nv2 in case smthing goes wrong....so i only need windiag to connect in normal mode and backup d nv2 bcos i tried in emergency mode first and it never gave me the option to backup nv2...so !!

and is kiss20.5 the one with the gsm load problem....i dont really know what that is...so could u tell more....abt it !!

The Camera bug is known and will be fixed in the next release. The LG toolbar have been removed. XDA is full of better alternatives.

Try to insert your mSD in a computer, copy/paste all the content, quick format the card in FAT (not FAT32), and try it on your device with TotalComander.

I been trying very hard to backup my nv2. But i cannot do so. I have been following the link carefully and i am stucked.

I am using windows Xp and LG usb cable

1) Install the LG Corona USB Driver.

2) Change necessary settings in engineering menu

3) Install "WinDiag_Open.cab"

4) Soft reset KS20

5) Plugin USB to KS20 and press "select port" in LGMDP (Build 12.13) to connect to it

6) Show com4 Emergency mode (blur) nothing come out...

7) Go to tools - NV Backup and connect (select port)

8) when click on NV Backup. It Show LGMDP has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.(click on don't send) and windows pop out ( The instruction at "0x73dd11c7" referenced memory at "0x00000004', The memory could not be "ready". Click on Ok to terminate the program

I had hard reset and using different PC. Still having the same problem.... Please help me ..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raykisi:
Firstly, it should shows this but not emergency mode, unless you connect your phone in emergency mode, make sure your phone is on when connecting to LGMDP

Secondly, try press "Download" to backup .nv2 if "NV Backup" dun work to you

The "orange loading sign" is my initApp replacement (initializes some phone parameters right after boot).

As for the screen orientation, yes that's a bug : on ks20 if you want it to automatically change, you can do it easily by tilting your head the same angle you tilt your phone :p

KS20 Working Skype Trick

I use a little trick to call via skype on my kissed ks20. I got the old v20.4 in german (too lazy to upgrade yet) and the leatest skype version (ddl the .cab)

I've tested the trick on HSDPA (~1.7 Mbit on speedtest)

Not tested yet on Wifi (no AP@Home)

1. Start Skype

2. Call eg. skypetest

3. Phone will freeze or lag

4. Press I/O-button (Phone will go to standby)

5. Press I/O-button again (sometimes twice - but be patient)

6. As soon the phone is out of standby the call will connect immediatly with good voice quality (in and out!)

maybe spocky or some other devs can get this trick working on their ks20s for deeper researches :D

i don't use the sound fix (will test it)

i will release a youtube-vid when my f... internet provider restore my f... connection...
