Problems after flashing

Hi! I got some problems after flashing to the last version of Kiss ROM.

I downloaded the image as always and I started LGDMP. All the process was OK, but in the end of the flashing I got a NAND Error and it stopped the process.

When I took the battery off, the phone started in Emergency Mode and now, when I tried to flash it with another ROM, I got a "Partition Table Error" and I'm unable to flash it.

I tried with farahbolsey, your ROM and the original one that had my phone and nothing.

Does anyone know a solution or another method to flash it?

I will be really happy if I hear a method!

Regards

Sly90

@ Sly90

try to flash with this rom http://rapidshare.de/files/38512522/KS20.rar in emergecy mode (french), then NV2 backup in normal mode - next you can flash with any (brandet or unbrandet, it depends on your NV2) ROM.

Hi,

Sorry. I'm the new on LG KS-20. Could you please kindly advice what's means of branded or unbraned?

Many Thanks.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ryip:
Did there've someone can help to capture the screen shot of this ROM?

Welcome to the nerve-cracking world of KS20.Check the guide in my signature.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Sly90:
Hi! I tried this ROM but nothing :(

The errors I got are these:

1) First, when I try to burn the new ROM or download the old one, LGDMP started with "Initialize for Partition Table"

2) Then, after two minutes (more or less), it changed to "Timeout..."

3) And finally, two minutes more, it says "Error! Partition Table"

Does anyone had something like it in the past?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tobbbie:
You should mention in the first post in version history or issues (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 are not working!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sprioux:
no continous ring any more, but backlight turns off after a few seconds ! grrrrr!

but the most important thing is that 20.5a rom, without extendir, is absolutely perfect. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] PandaKiller:
I installed the version 20.X and after installing windows live my keyboard stopped working.

But if I uninstall the keyboard, it back to work.

i've installed 20.5...

when i lock my phone,

i can't answer the incoming call... :(:(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tobbbie:
I have not seen any discussion regarding the pagepool in this thread yet. The KisS 20.4 had a PP of 8 MB, while the 20.5a has 6 MB - another 2 MB of RAM free. Checked with pagepoolchanger (search the forum) in the flash.bin - is this correctly read out from there?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] backlashsid:
how to have a 20.5a rom without an extendir ??

plz help....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] oman5980:
look at page 168....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] marclon:
In my case 20.5 is working fine except one thing. Phone does not show in taskbar that I'm connected to GSM/UMTS network. It shows the symbol of beeing out of network range but I can make calls, receive etc. So the symbol is wrong. At the same time no new connections are added to history of calls (incoming, outgoing, unanswered no matter).

I've tried restart, swithc on off gsm module, remove battery etc. Nothing helps. I wouldn't care about this icon of network range (as icon of possible data connections shows correctly G,E etc) but lack of history is a little bit annoying thing.

Anyone has some clue what can bee wrong? i'm using SPB Mobile Shell 3.1 but that rather is not an issue (at least was not in version 20.4 of kiss)

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] PandaKiller:
And about this?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spocky12:
@tobbbie : you're right. All my tests showed there were no impact on performance lowering it to 6Mb.

@marclon : never had this problem. Are you sure it's not something you installed ?

@PandaKiller : WM6.5 is know to have problems with some keyboards.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] backlashsid:
i dint get it on page 168

plz elaborate....

Maybe it is possible to use complete words and sentences to ask a question?

This forum has a very interesting feature: You can select and read (!) each page and entry. Who is able to read has a real advantage. ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] marclon:
Thanks Spocky. Indeed the issue was caused by Inesoft Phone Suite (exactly version 4.4 and module Dialer). When installed under firmware 20.4 it was working fine, issue appeared in 20.5.

But now after upgrade to some version 5 of this software everything works perfect - net range presented correctly, history updated.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gregnapola:
(A little OT : spocky, any interest on "this" ?!?! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1UB9jLpwmw I'm doing some experiments with my Ks20, it would be interesting to re-consider the idea of Android on this nice phone... :) It boots perfecly the Angstrom Kernel too, but I can't login because I can't cnnect with ssh :( )

Nice work with your Rom(s), as usual... If it can useful, someone found the way to get Skype working perfectly on Ks20 ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] oman5980:
i'm sorry... not page 168, but page 166...

scylla69 had posted it there...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tobbbie:
Why do you care about PAGES - refer to the post number directly (upper right corner of the post). Pages are dependent on the user's setting (posts per page) and may thus differ per user.

Edit: this is post 1744 :-)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spocky12:
@gregnapola : yes, I know it works, this version was made for vogue phones and it's rather old (may/june 2008 if I recall correctly). I also had it booting fine by the time. Unfortunately, any newer vogue version doesn't work anymore because it's been specifically optimized for this hardware and of course, some I/O are not the same as ks20. A few monthes ago, I tried cross compiling a recent vogue version and modify it to make it work on our phone, but I never had the patience to go much further. Anyway, this is perfectly possible to have a recent android run on ks20, it just requires some work to change gipos (ks20 service documentation lists most of them). So if somebody has some time to spent and enough knowledge, that would be great.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gregnapola:
:) Yeah...I saw your attempt in the Kaiser-android thread time ago, and now I found that it boots the Niki kernel too....I found the GPIOS list on the Ks20 service, but cannot track them with Haret as it's not recognized as "Qualcomm msm7200" and it's a big issue to get the storage card recognized :( Maybe it's time to open a new thread to avoid theese off-topic; if you could help me to make some things working would be wonderful...:o
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tobbbie:
Did anyone bother with the limited audio capabilities of the KS20? Please look at this:

http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_ks20-review-208p6.php

The scale is missing there - so to compare the best available charts for WM from the Xperia X1 here:

http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_xperia_x1-review-303p7.php

I have checked the Service Manual for HW flaws in the audio path, but there are none that explain the degradation above 5-8KHz. So I attribute this to the audio driver.

I read that some experiments replacing the driver were not successful, is this the final word on this?! I would also like to see two-way call recording working - also part of the audio driver.

Those who tried, can you report on what you tried already?

Any MSM7200 based WM device is a candidate as donor for transplanting the audio driver, isn't it?

P.S.: Yes I can hear the difference to my Vox or other devices. I was not expecting to see something like this ages after digital sound reproduction has become standard.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] backlashsid:
pls ! kindly refer which post no. ur talkin about ! there was one post which said replace the .bin file

i did so ! but still no change with the camera bug....that means it was still not 20.5a without extendir !
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ibanezman192:
Here is 20.5a without extendir: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4321512&postcount=1651

Download kiss 20.5a with extendir from first page.

You must use the flash.bin you downloaded from the post I gave you with the .mbn(i think) files from zip you downloaded from the first page.Download my guide and you will understand how to flash 20.5a correctly.I use 20.5a without extendir and both cameras work fine.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] PandaKiller:
Spocky12 can cook a rom 20.x of the version 23016 without Extendir?

I think this version has no problems with the keyboard, and the roms of Farahbolsey don't have 90MB free.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] backlashsid:
yea...bro i followed this thingy !

and did the same !! still the front camera.....has distorted and inverted image ! plus i did a hard reset before porting the rom and then connected in normal mode and continued the update !

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spocky12:
Sorry, I haven't been much present recently, I had to finish my app for Android Developer Challenge 2. Now that the deadline has passed, I'll finish KisS20.5. If I can't find a working version of extendir, I'll release final KisS20.5b without it. It should be pretty much the same as the latest bin file I've posted a fey pages back, and hopefully will come in localized versions shortly.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spocky12:
Hey, here's my thoughts about adding lgmenu back in KisS20.5 :

pros :

- I've been asked many times, so I've got to admit that some people like it

- people say that cab version doesn't work well

cons :

- it's 1mb, so it goes against the principles of light clean rom

- many links don't work anymore due to the cleaning of the rom and I really don't want to be asked twice a day why clicking on "psnote" or "mobile java" gives an error.

So I've come up to a solution that should please both parts :

- pack (upx) it so that it takes only 220kb, which I consider light enough to be included in the rom

- don't add it by default in start menu so that only people who really want it add a shortcut in their startmenu. That way, I won't be told that some links don't work and those who don't like lgmenu won't see it.

Is that ok to you ?

Anyway, I've made my mind.

Let me concentrate a little bit... a few seconds more.... my psychic powers might be sufficient now... ok, that shoud be good. Take your phone, open Total Commander and browse Windows folder. You should now find lgmenu.exe. Just select it, click on total commander "file" menu, click on "create shortcut" and select "windows\start menu\programs" folder. That's it, you've got lgmenu back ;)

Note : if you ever wanna cook roms, choose to be a mage and not a warrior, that will ease things a lot :p
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] backlashsid:
i will wait till 20.5b comes out ! reflash all over and in case nt good then will seek ur help !

thanks !
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] backlashsid:
I think the kiss20.5b should have some nice changes like

a new dialer just as the new calculator we have in 20.5 by this there will be no need for users to get tempted by Iconsoft PhoneEx or someother software that uses precious Ram

also..the same way default contacts should be tweeked...with the Icontacts style or again PhoneEx way....

changing these two...will hugely make a difference and make the rom look more nice....and if the

taskbar on the top can have original ks20 icons for battey and signal strength etc etc...that will go by the start bar and will make it look more clean. Also may be the start button can be modiefied to the "O" shaped icon we see in Vista as well.....:)

these are just my opinion...others may criticize me !:o

i also think the way iconsoft phoneex today item adds some friendly buttons like Profile Modes...Wifi and Bluetooth acess, phonepad....etc...

possibly there mite even be a way to get the same with some mods !! as it makes acess really easy...

instead of going in to notifications and then selecting it....

(Even SPB SHell 2 had only 3 profiles....instead of 6 compared with Phoneex)

-Give your opinion guys !

- Since i dont think after 20.5b there willll be any more released versions so why not make the best out of it

Putting LG Menue back to the rom, is IMO useless, cause most people with a bot of interesting in ohter Windows Mobile UIs will replace it as soon as possible.

There is not only SPB Mobile Shell, there also a lot of other good & free UIs available out there. And they are all much much better that the LG one.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sprioux:
and what about having a good "touch feel" email client included in this rom (iphone like for example) and a good podcast reader (itunes like) included ? :rolleyes:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Major A:
Each software feature added to a rom is a hand full of bugs added for the author. Some might think the cooker is responsible of the problems induced by those apps he did not code.

The purpose of the Spocky's rom and most of KS20 roms is to have a flexible and clean OS compared to stock manufacturer's one. Preset Installer are sufficient to custom to his own taste, and impose a UI or whatever app will quickly piss the author first with extra moaning, when just a few will be pleased. Same history with languages...some work, potential bugs, many complaints (everybody know english for asking and complain, but obviously not enough to use some buttons of WinMo) and very few thanks. So let Spocky decide the destiny of his work, as far he is the first blamed for anything.

How does LG handle flashed phones? Do they accept it or do you loose guarantee by updating the firmware? I already flashed mine (which came with version 10b) with v10e. Should I downgrade to 10b before sending it to LG?

finger friendly scroll

Hi,

I tried a sony Xperia today, and I noticed that scrolling is very finger friendly in every application i've tried. So, I didn't have to tap the scroll bar on the side, just scroll with my finger. I've read about this before, I think all HTC phones have this feature, but I wasn't able to install it on my phone, even I tried a lot htcscroll.cab. Does anybod know how to install this feature to the Ks20? I thing it would be a very usefull feature.
