Hi spocky12!

Is there any good reason why you put the old version of TouchResponse 0.2.2 to the KisS20.5a PI Pack?

Latest version is TouchResponse 0.3.2 ;)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=450256
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spocky12:
@holy_moly : If I remember correctly, I couldn't get the kind of vibrations I wanted with 0.3.2 (it lasted too long)

I uploaded KisS20.5a. I hope it's not too bad. I used latest extendir versions, but not in xip because I couldn't get it working this way. I also tweaked a few cache parameters to get better results, it sould be faster than KisS20.5.

When I'm sure there are no bugs, I'll try to build localized versions when I have time and enough motivation.

Didn't build a wm6.5 versions as of now, I'm waiting until build leaks slow down a little (plus latest ones were not stable enough).

Dear Spocky ,

Tried with the new 20.5a but no luck again . The first few boot is success , but afterward the system keep crashing and reset once the tower shows up . Any idea about it ? Thanks very much !

I have some troubles installing KisS 20.5a...

I can flash easily, but during the last part (NV Restore), LGMDP shows "It will be restored after reboot. Trying to communicate with phone." My phone reboots, ask me to calibrate the screen etc, but the NV never restores and stays on the same screen... It wouldn't be much of a problem as the phone boots, but it shows me "No service" and I can't make calls or even register on the network... I once had that issue, and the solution is to restore the Nv. But I can't, once flashed, LGMDP doesn't recognize my phone anymore (it connects, but only as "No phone", and windiag.cab doesn't solve this) therefor it won't allow me to restore manually the Nv...

Maybe with the Nv backup option but each time I try it it only shows "Nv backup file not found"...

I can install KisS 20.4 just fine, but am I stuck with it?

Edit: Problem solved! I re-flashed right after the first boot, and this time LGMDP recognizes the phone as a KS20 and allows me to restore an old Nv Backup I had.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] holy_moly:
I also know this strange behaviour when using 0.3.2 but when using 0.2.2 I can’t scroll with my fingers while the phone vibrates at a touch. It always regonice the scroll gesture as a click. In version 0.3.2 you have a new function called vibrate on release. This one works much better than the vibrate on touch function. BTW I’m still using your 20.4 GER rom at the moment, but will flash and test the 20.5a this week.

Today I also regonice that you put a QVGA OpenGl S2P 0.58 version to the KisS20.5a PI Pack. When using this version of 2SP with your rom 20.4, it is no longer possible to switch off the display light, while pressing the power button, or when display goes off by auto power function. The display light is only dimmed to the smallest level, no off possible as long S2P is started. So it's big battery drain behaviour when listening to music. But I still have to test this behaviour with your latest rom release. ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] milaq:
that's intentional, bro
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] holy_moly:
Oh, I see! It’s the well known sentence: It’s not a bug, it’s a "feature"! :rolleyes:

If really so, it makes absolutely no sense, because the touch screen is also locked in this case. And you have first to push the power button to use the touch screen again. So it's an absolut useless feature!

And finally, if so IMO this has nothing to do with spock12 rom!

It's a S2P OpenGl issue, because for me it’s not a feature at all.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Wonderkik:
You have to go to Start/Programs/System/Engineer menu then Port setting/USB Switching and check Lg composite.

If you have KisS20.4 just open the dialpad and enter 2676625720# to enter Engineer menu.

If your phone is listed as "No phone" in LGMDP, then immediatly re-flash in Emergency mode (Shutdown the phone, push and hold left Hard button, Internet button and power button until a green light shows up). After that, your phone should be recognized by LGMDP and if you have a "No service" on your phone then do a simple NV restore with an old backup and you're good to go ^^
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] volatiler:
Thanks Wonderkik, coz now i`m in the office and i dont bring my KS 20, i`ll try your step this evening... just FYI i have KisS 20.5 and we can open Engineer menu by just one touch.

Camera

Hi!

I've flashed to kis 20.5a, and I cannot make photos with the camera. When I press the camera button, the software shows up, but i can't "make" a picture. anybody has the same problem?

For those who had the problem that the phone can't login to any gsm network. I had the same problem after flashing for the first time, and after a soft reset, the problem still existed. So, I made a hard reset, and the problem has been solved for me.

Spocky, I was wondering if you can post the start menu item that links to the engineering menu seperatly. I am using fara's rom and I can't get the engineering menu to pop up using the dailpad code.

I'm not really comfortable flashing in emergency mode just net, so maybe a direct link will get me into the menu?

Need Help in restoring NV2

I have a unbranded KS20 as it showed only LG logo on boot. It has firmware 10e english version (bought in Singapore) I flashed it to KisS20.5 ROM using LGMDP (build 12.13) in normal mode + backup with no problem. (LG corona USB driver is installed with WinDiag_Open.cab installed on the phone and all the USB settings set as instructed). After setup win6.1, i tried to install te software pack.

However during installing of PreInstaller pack, a call came in and hang the phone. I got to reflash it in Emergency mode (with Erase EFS) back to KisS20.5 ROM for the phone to work again and now the phone has no signal. Engineering screen is still working and i reinstall WinDiag on the phone and set all the settings again. Sadly, this time round LGMDP does not recognise the phone as it says "no phone" during port selection. When i tried to do NV restore, it gives an error saying NV backup file not exist! My backup file is 116Kb in size so i am sure it is the right one with correct imei number starting with 357323... I did soft reset every time switching from diagnostic mode to Activesync mode. Also, LGMDP does not has the option to reset Database and content, only "erase EFS" or "none option".

Can anyone please help me to make my ohone work again? Thanks a million for any help received.

Phone doesn't work anymore after flash to 20.5a

OK here is what I did:

I own a vodafone branded german KS20.

I followed Spocky's post and did the following:

1. I connected to the phone with LGMDP_1.5_build_12.14_Sep_16_2008 and made a backup of my nv2.

2. I patched the backup to unbranded with LG_KS20_NV2_QCN_TOOLS1.4 and restored that to the phone.

3. Then, in Emergency Mode, I flashed KisS20.5a Rom WWE from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=408323

4. My phone starts up. It shows no Vodafone-Logo, so I guess it is unbranded. It starts up fine, everything work except for that I cannot switch on the phone in the connection manager.

Where did I make the mistake in the flashing process??? How can I enable the phone's phone-device???

Please halp me save my baby :)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dimi89:
This ROM have some problems yes but it can be flashed on devices and it is realy stable(using it 1 day only )...Flesh your phone whit KisS20 4 ROM and beckup ur NV2 file...Than load kiss 20 5a in LGMPD Euro and DONT choose ERASE EFS just leave it how it is.Press start and begin to flesh your phone.Mine is working just fine.

If u dont see Vodafone logo that dont mean u phone is unbrended.U have to make your NV2 unbrended so you can flesh unbrended ROMs...

To beckup you NV2 you just need to open LGMPD Euro find your phone load ONLY NV2 file and click start and process will beggin.After NV@ is beckuped you phone will reboot.:cool:

@all : some of you say that this rom is not stable, some say it works fine. Well, don't know what to say, it works great on my ks20... maybe it's extendir... Here is the same rom without extendir (only flash.bin, use mbn from KisS20.5a), tell me if it's better.

i followed the instructions exactly as u told and posted then.

flashing in emergency mode didn´t solved the problem.

LGMDP doesn´t recognize the phone and you can´t restore the old nv2.

i will try the the flash.bin without extendir posted from spocky. hopefully lgmdp restores nv2.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mkmonkey:
Did you try it in KisS 20.4 ? It seems not working in 20.5/20.5a . You have to go back to 20.4 before restore the NV2 .
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mkmonkey:
Hi Spocky ,

Tried the one w/o extendir . However , this time even hard reset will not get a normal boot . The system can't even pass the welcome screen and reset automatically .

Seems my system is not totally identaical to yours . Anyway , thanks very much for your great ROM . I'll be using your 20.4 at this moment , looking forward to your next release !

Enjoy your weekend . :)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Wonderkik:
If you have a Lg ks20 then you have exactly the same system as all of us...

If Spocky, me, and several other users managed to install KisS20.5a but you couldn't you most probably have something wrong either with the flashing process or with your computer's setup.

To me, the constant reset on the bootscreen looks like a corrupted NV2 or a badly unbranded one. I had to unbrand mine twice (using different backups) in order to get it to work. Now that you're back to KisS20.4, try to backup a new Nv2, unbrand it (even if your phone is already unbranded, at least check it using the new tools we have) and start the whole process again.

Trust me the upgrades about memory usage is worth the hassle ^^
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] scylla69:
hello,

I flashed with the flash.bin file without extendir around 5 hours ago and everything works perfectly fine for now.

no temporary hang-ups after waking up,

thanks spocky!

edit:

maybe our problem with those hangs-up is that we install normal cabs (like spb ms3) not created/edited with Extendir Cabs program ? (sorry if I sound like a noob right know [but I am :) ] )
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spocky12:
@scylla69 : Don't think so. Putting files in Extendir folder is just another improvment, but that's absolutely not required.

When you're sure it's stable, could you please try to flash back to 20.5a with extendir, to confirm your problems are back again and that extendir is really the culprit ? (that's strange as I didn't see anybody complain about these kind of bugs with extendir...)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] scylla69:
it's stable, + more free ram (around 45 with ms3,s2u2 and quick menu)

some people on our polish ks20 forum are also experiencing this ~5sec hang-ups (afterwards, it works perfectly, but it was quite annoying + when sb called me it took around 2-3 signals for my phone to show the incoming call )

I'll test it for few more hours to be 100% sure and then reflash to 20.5a with extendir and report ;-)

cheers!

For all pp, who couldnt flash new Kiss20 . 5a!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For all pp, who couldnt flash new Kiss20 . 5a!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I| am writing this for 100 time already.(some ppl already sayed before me).Flash your phone to kiss20.4 beckup/restore NV2 and than flesh it to kiss20.5a WHITOUT selecting option ERASE EFS.....Your NV2 will stay in new rom and u will have phone that is working.

Spocky i didnt tasted exendir so that could be a problem that sculla described....For now my phone is working fine.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] holy_moly:
I made similar experiences, especially when wake up from standby. Many times (not always) it hangs for several seconds. At this time you can`t unlock the screen when using S2U2. I will test right now the 20.5a with the latest flash.bin (without extendir).

Will report the result asap.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Lightning303:
first of all, big thx for 20.5a :)

I got the same problem with freezes after waking up the device.

For me the camera button isnt working in camera app to make photos, too. I have to press the stick to take a photo.

Also the MMS settings saving/showing problem, i described after release of 20.5, still remains.

just installed manila and other htc programs, optimized for extendir, but didnt get any speed boost :(. will do some more tests :).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] holy_moly:
@ Spocky12

I'ved did many test (for a few hours) with your latest flash.bin file without the Extendir filesystem.

So far no lags or freezes! Especial when going to stand by and S2U2.

Scrolling looks also a bit smoother, but read speed especial for the icons at MobileShell3 looks a bit slower, like it was when I used your 20.4 rom. So not a big deal for me.

But I will still test this version without the Extendir filesystem, and report any issue! If there are any, what I don't think at the moment. ;)

Cheers dude
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] radeon6002:
kiss 5 with new flash.bin works smooth. Now everything is ok. Before (with extendir) touch screen hang up after wake up.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] scylla69:
yes, I can confirm what was said before

I reflashed to 20.5a + extendir (downloaded it again and unpacked with other program than for the first time... just to be sure ;-) )

and those "lags" were there again,

so, one more time I'm back to 20.5a without Extendir, and it works fine.

I think that for some programs it takes a little bit more (than in the rom with extendir) time to load but that's not a problem :)

cheers!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] assmonk3y:
does the screen show anything when it freezes? or is it just blank?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] scylla69:
it freezes, and when it unfreezes it follows very quickly every move you tap when it was freezed,

if it occurs also on your ks with the 20.5a (+extendir) rom, you can flash with this file http://www.mediafire.com/?22mowzlugnw , that is 20.5a (without extendir) and it should be fine.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pspnsh:
How to flash to new rom when your computer show trying to communicate with the phone after it backup the nv2.

1.Hard reset your phone

Turn off the KS20 completely (do this by pressing and holding the power button and wait for the prompt).

Press and hold these three buttons--volume down, Call and power--till the LED (this is beside the front camera) flashes.

Release the buttons. That same LED should flash blue/red/green and power up.

The KS20 should be in a clean state.

2.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.

3.install WinDiag_Open into your device windows folder

4.Connect device at usb port and run lgmdp_euro (Normal mode)

Try these method a few times if unable to flash.I successed after two tries.Like to hear success.Cheers.
