@bcruz410

If you was flashing your phone in normal mode and after LGMDP backup ur .nv2 data at start and switch ur KS20 to emergency mode for flashing and you get communication error at the time then it is probably due to the problem of ur computer, try it on another computer (with Vista prefer) or with a fresh copy of windows (format your computer).

BTW, r u using AMD cpu? coz i hv heard some cases that AMD not working good with LGMDP too

IMEI ?

Good morning all !

First , thanks to all for this great rom !

I have some kind of big problem ! I flashed my phone two days ago in emergency mod . (cause i couldnt flash normally) .

Thus i dont have any clean backup ..:confused:

But the problem is that my phone no longer works ( only the phone ) . Everything works well (very well ;) ) except the phone (communication) .

I was advised to use QPST to rewrite my IMEI , what i did .

But still !! Nothing .. So what can i do ? Need your Help guys !

Thanks a lot . :)

Another big noob?

@zakoos

Congratulation zakoos, you have killed ur KS20!!!

You are so brave man. I proud of you, good job!!!

Why didn't you do sufficient research b4 flashing your phone? that will avoid lots and lots of problem. Was you too hurry to kill ur KS20? Can't even wait a bit to kill it?

Look at my threads at my signature, and read them carefully.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] zakoos:
woow ! keep cool ..

i have been reading all your posts for two weeks , the thing is that i couldnt manage to connect my phone to lgmdp ... then when i finally could with emergency mod .. i didnt think about consequences . :(

what do you mean by " kill " ?

looks like there is nothing to be done .:(

Hello,

First of all i want to thank spocky for this great release its very stable and it makes fun to use there are only 2 things which i miss:

Microsoft Office One Note Mobile( i liked this pro. is there a possibility to download it )

And the old LG menu because I dont like Manila 2D and the windows menu its quite ugly. Is there any possibility to get the LG Menu back with the LG toolbar ? if yes i would be very happy:D

@zakoos

You are my hero, you told me you have read my thread two weeks ago, but still stuck in that.

Firstly, about connecting LGMDP in normal mode, did u do the setting in engineering menu and install windiag_open.cab in your phone? If you did but still didn't work for you, then wht was ur original rom version and language?

Secondly, if you did read my thread, you should no how you could fix your phone, but not here questioning.

Can't you read this in my thread?

If after i give you this such a big tip, but you still dun no wht to do next, just go and bang your head to the wall b4 asking another question.

Good luck

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raykisi:
@R4mpaG3

Manila 2D only can work in portrait mode coz HTC design it only work in portrait mode, so there is no workaround for that unless HTC release manila 2D which can work in both portrait and landscape mode in the future.

does anyone know how to set the "default" mail application?

I just realized I shouldn't have asked this question here, but the answer is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=398173&page=272

Oh also, is anyone noticing that the phone has a slight delay when receiving calls? What i mean is, when someone calls, my phone does not ring until my voicemail almost picks up. So, the caller hears the call "ringing" for 10 seconds, but I only hear the last 2 seconds of it and then it goes to voicemail. End result is i never pick up calls fast enough and I end up calling everyone back right after they triedt o leave voicemail.

I identified the problem (at least partially) it does not come from your windows revision at all, but from the fact that the corona drivers or LGDMP are not compatibile with some of the usb chipsets out there (I think they have an issue with the nforce usb controllers)

I have 2 computers with nforce having the same issue, I installed a generic usb 2.0 PCI card in one of the comp and it fixed the problem (as long as I plugged the KS20 on the PCI card usb slots)

I hope I helped.

Hi guys,

I have a problem with my Lg after flashing. I followed the tutorial and flashed the new ROM with no issues(no errors and download complete at the end). It works great as long as i don't put a SIM card in it. Once i put my SIM card, the phone resets by itself around every 30seconds.

Phone was bought with no mobile operator attached to it so i flashed it with the unbranded ROM and the SIM is from Vivatel(bulgarian mobile op). I have made .nv2 backup which were restored at the end of flashing.

If you have any idea on how can i fix this i would appreciate it.

Thanks.

Edit:

I have reflashed it again with unbranded 20.3a WWE and manually restored the .nv2 files this time using an Intel PC(mine is AMD). Everything worked fine, same as always but again just PDA. When i insert the Vivatel card which i used with WM6.0, it recognizes it, connects to the network and then(after about 1min) restarts and so on. Tested with another Vivatel SIM, happens the same. If i use another SIM(M-Tel - diff bulgarian op) it works just fine. I even unlocked the phone with no result. Cannot figure out why the issue is with just one mobile operator and exactly the one which i used b4. I guess i will have to change networks and buy another SIM.

If you have any thoughts on how to make it work with my current op please share. I have no issues in buying a new SIM only that it will take some time to let all of my friends know my new number so i would rather avoid the hassle. Thanks.

This upgrade... I so desperately want it on my KS20, but it seems as though mine is unflashable :(

No matter what I do, I've tried three different PC's, manually input the registry and .dll changes, and still no-go. Even hard-resetting didn't help.

Halp!

:(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] roinou:
OK, girlfriend gone :( but KS20 flashed :)

Works really nice (for now). Manilla2D is great, even though it's very memory consuming and the "myFav" blocks the program.

@pixil same for me, can't connect with WAP. I didn't try with WIFI though, it might be the provider blocking with the proxy (in France, mine has some kind of agreement so they can include MSN as a non-free option)

EDIT: MSN works fine with me and Internet by WIFI. That's what I thought, my provider is blocking the service...

@spocky why don't you put M2DC in the UC package? it really works fine with me, and it's really usefull for themes and to deactivate some widgets... (M2DC)

Another interesting feature would be to remove the default JVM from the ROM and replace it with a JBed. I use GMobile maps, and it doesn't work with the default. Moreover, it's easier to bypass the permissions for untrusted apps.

Is this somewhere on the TODO list? If you think it's not very hard, i can try to have a look myself, but I must admit that i can't really spend hours flashing my device...

tell me what you think, and... Allez les Bleus !!

dans le gestionnaire de peripherique le port du lg a disparu (d'où le

dans controleur de bus usb je vois toujours le lg, je le desactive (clique

je debranche le cable usb, puis le rebranche

je reactive le lg dans controleur de bus usb

le port lg reapparait, miracle !!!!!!!

je relance le logiciel de flashage (j'ai toujours pas rebooté le telephone)

je refais la procedure normal et là le flashage se lance directement avec

emergency mode noté en rouge (pas de nvbackup, timeout et fenetre trying...)

12 mn plus tard le logiciel termine son boulot, le telephone reboot seul.

desolé, je n'ai pas de capture d'ecran, j'espere avoir ete clair.

Hi Spocky,

Thx a lot for the great ROM. I can install and run very smoothly. However I am also a Chinese reader, so I have to spend some time to customize the system, making it works in Chinese but not perfect yet. This is done by loading Droid Chinese font then followed by Regedit.

It will be great if you can tell how to fallback to Segoe UI to defualt font, or you can upload the same ROM but without changing to Segoe UI font.

Thx. Again, the ROM can be installed and runs fast with error free in English.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mathieulh:
Yes it is autoprofile I was talking about.

About the CE-star issue, the IME and characters work fine inside applications (like word, opera etc etc) but not outside (in the main windows menus, for instance the kanjis for the date do not appear, the characters for word document names do not appear when in japanese etc etc) I suspect it is likely a font issue.

I did not test it myself on HTC but so far reports mentionned that it is working fine on HTC roms last time I checked.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gregnapola:
...I want to share my experience about this ROM, but first of all ...a brief history of my Ks20:

- Originally it has 10c Tim BRANDED italian Rom

- Flashed with 10a HKG "Hybrid" ROM then unlocked (to make the phone work)

Yesterday I tried to flash it with Spocky's wwe unbranded Rom; flashing process was right but then .nv2 wasn't restored (LGMDP said "nv2 backup not exist" or something similar) and so the phone gave me "Invalid OTP block" error. Obviously IMEI number wasn't set and phone couldn't work...I tried to restore .nv2 file ( I have 3 or more back-up of it...;) ) but LGMDP wasn't able to find it in any way ( I tried to rename the folder as 000000-00-000000 too...). Then I re-flashed my phone with 10a HKG Rom in emergency mode without restoring original .nv2 because in LGMDP there were no option to restore it after selecting rom image; Finally I manually restored .nv2 original file after the flashing process was completed...and now all is working.

My question is: why wasn't lgmdp able to restore nv file ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DomZ:
Your phone is branded.

You should use WWE branded ROM.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] RedWave31:
To my mind, you may have made a mistake by choosing an unbranded rom over a branded device....

Usually, unbranded roms on branded devices requires branded sub-rom files to make hybrid unbranded roms. (See the post on making your own unbranded roms). You should have tried the branded version of the roms, that would have included the 10 *.mbz files...

Anyway, another post already stated that anyone flashing should make a double backup using QPST & LGMP of their NV2 files.... QPST is more than able to restore a nv2 file no matter the state of the phone.... Try it ;-)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spocky12:
Are you sure your phone is really unbranded ? (Note that this has nothing to do with sim unlock.)

I flashed my phone with 10aHKG Unbranded Rom and after that there is no boot logo, no proprietary software, nothing at all...just a stupid question: how can we establish if a phone is branded or unbranded ?

Unfortunately, i walked into a big problem with the actual rom: i can't install a lot of applications. They simply fail ton install, and the error message is just as is. The UC didn't work several Hard resets didn"t work as well, installing from ROM doesn"t work, from SD card neither...

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spocky12:
@RedWave31: you're the first to report this kind of issue. Once I had this problem but it was because of bad sdcard drivers. As you said you tried installing from rom, I don't think you've got the same problem. Try copying a cab with activesync to phone and then back to pc and compare original cab with the one that travelled, perhaps you've got issues with your data transmission.

@Pixil: sorry, if I had the least idea I would have answered your first message. Windows live provided in uc package perfectly works with wifi on my ks20.

@Fever2006: I'll see what I can do. Maybe next release will have segoeui in uc package and not cooked inside rom. I've seen that you're not the first to complain on chinese forums.

@tonyfromparis: for now, graphic drivers are still the same than original lg rom, so I assume issues related to them are still present.

@roinou: well, if you provide me a working jbed cab/oem (that installs on phone memory) and if you can assure me that it doesn't break anything, I may put it in next release. I don't use enough java apps (I don't even use 1 ;)) to be sure of the version I should use (I've just tested 20080222 3.1 but touch screen doesn't seem to work with gmaps 2.3.1, although I don't even know wether it should work or not)

File Name Wireless Manager

Hi,

who know what Programm Windows Mobile starts if i klick on "Wireless Manager"? My Wireless Manager is the original from the KS20 Rom not the HTC CommManager. My idea is following: I think Manilla2D starts an Hardcoded File for the CommManager. When we can rename or write a Programm (that starts the LG CommManger) with the same Filename like the Hardcoded File we can use all functions.

earlier someone mentioned their Tomtom7 was flashing badly, another reported that it was working fine.

I had mentioned that GarminXT seemed to work fine, but I've discovered an issue where after a few minutes, the map will just stop updating. The screen is still bright, and in fact the GPS directions and prompts still update correctly, just the map "freezes". If i tap to go into detail directions and tap out again, it temporarily restores everything again.

I then tried iGuidance 3.0.1 , it also seemed to work fine, but the voice prompts are slow and get "cut off" . ex: it will often say "turn right in....." and never finishes.
