Hi trueg,

LGFlashMuncher.exe is used to build flash.bin, but I believe flash.bin structure is still the same as before.

What lg did is split flash.bin into multiple parts in the dz file. In the kitchen, dz reconstruction is done with copsfrance's dzcreate. I know he added support for this kind of structure in DZ-Decryper, perhaps he did the same for DzCreate.

I hope I pointed you to the right direction.

LG VS750

Any chance that there will be support for the LG VS750?

The alternate "Desktop" update utility uses a .cab file.

The latest VS750ZV7 causes problems for igo8..

I may have to flash back to V5.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] trueg:
Indeed, it does appear to be a problem with DzCreate.

If I flash the original rom.dz from the GW825V to my GW825, I don't have a problem.

If I take the original Flash.bin from the GW825V and use DzCreate to make a new ROM using the original mbn files, the new rom.dz doesn't work.

It seems DzCreate isn't able to build a ROM using the new format.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] trueg:
For anyone interested, you need to modify dzcreate.ini in order to support newer ROMs for the LG Monaco (LG eXpo/IQ/GW825v).

You need to add

DZVersion=0x03

SplitSize=0x01000000

example)

[GW820G]

Chipset=QSD8650

DZVersion=0x03

SplitSize=0x01000000

SubFiles=0x0BF80084

Spocky, I have two questions for you.

1) I'm not sure if it is the same for all LG phones, but when you charge the device when off, you get a little charging animation.

Do you know where the resources for this animation are stored?

I'm using the resources from a Chinese device and although everything in the ROM is English, the animation for charging when off is still the original Chinese.

Is this stored in one of the MBN files?

2) I noticed in start.bat, that when porting the XIP, you do the following...

if exist reloc\sys\dump (rmdir reloc\sys\dump /s /q)
if exist reloc\dump (rmdir reloc\dump /s /q)
md reloc\sys\dump
xcopy out\modules reloc\sys\dump /s
rmdir reloc\sys\dump\nk.exe /s /q
cd reloc
start /wait doit.bat
xcopy dump ..\out\modules /y /s

Can I ask why you do this? I have been skipping this step and it seems to work fine without it, but I'm interested to know what I am missing.

Thanks,

TrueG

VS750 (Fathom) Support

Is there any chance that this could work for the VS750 (Fathom)?

I have had 0 luck with the .wdb file extracted from the .cab file.

I was able to bypass the native start menu and recover some of the bleeding RAM leak.

Now I have to find a way to map the Fathom's "Start Menu" button to the "Today" screen.

SPB can't seem to find it.

It will be nice once LG decides to give up the exe for the fine device.

I may stand corrected. But that is how I feel. Thank's for listening....

EDIT:

Resistance is (WAS) Futile I, may have to prepare to be Assimilated.

(Incredible due to arrive 2011-03-13)

I will however continue to search for a root for the Fathom...

LG Fathom Abandonment

I believe that L (LOW) G (GRADE), took a bribe from WENE7 PONE or U-PONE.

LG told me to send my fathom to them so they could "FIX" it. Yea Right...

I think I have been banned from their little dictatorship wanabe web site...

If you speak your mind then they will try to punish you more than they already have by shipping shOOt for phones.

I think We The Owners Of The LG Fathom should file a class action law suit against LG for crippling a would have been great device, and VomitRizen Wireless for going along with it. Since they all seem to care more about the bottom line rather than the reason there even is a bottom line..

I must admit that after wasting my early upgrade for my primary line on the Fathom and getting NO help from LG, I became weak and realized that resistance was futile.

Yes I too have become assimilated.

Now my Fathom never drops data (While on Wi-Fi). I think that VomitRizen should change that stupid policy regarding mandatory data package, at least for the Fathom… Since they refuse to support this product…

Now, if there any concerned individuals in this forum that have the legal know how to get this ball rolling, PLEASE, PLEASE chime in…

Oh yea, I too would pray for a kitchen with support for the "Locked Up", "Abandoned LG Fathom...

Possibly a way to boot PartedMagic?

UPDATE: DOWNLOAD MODE FOR LG FATHOM (Performed WITH the use of the battery)

Mauricio on 9 July, 2011 at 8:56 pm # How to enter into LG Fathom VS750 Emergency Download Mode Steps:

1.Turn off the LG Fathom VS750

2. Press “5″

3.Press “Power button” while “pressing 5 ” keystrokes.

4.Check the front LED is green and the screen displays “Emergency download.”

You can now connect your phone using the USB cable and use fashing tools to fix your LG Fathom VS750

Caution: Remember to backup your files before flashing. This will erase all of your personal data. LG-Fathom info

Can't register in GSM network

Hi spocky12.

I have a question about VS750 v7 decrypted ROM.

I downloaded VS750 v7 and successfully flashed it using LGNPST in emergency mode into my VS750.

But now I can't register in any GSM network in GSM/UMTS mode.

I have tried to write single PRL and SCR files to phone using LGNPST but it does not help.

Can I use CAL\VS750_Rev_1_RF_NVs_2010_1025.ini or NVMeta\VS750_NVMetaData.csv files somehow to restore NV items, because I did not save it before flashing.

Thanks.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spocky12:
If you flashed old mbn, you still have old modem version. I think amss.mbn is holding modem info. But what I also know is that one of thoses mbn files stores brand information (which is responsible of bad otp block). It may be the same file... not sure though.

To be sure, you can try flashing new 10a amss.mbn + amsshd.mbn. But do this ONLY if you saved your nv2 and know how to go back from otp block. Then you'll should be able to know wether amss is also responsible of brand information. If that's not the case, congratulations, you now own latest modem version and you're a hero to all ks20 users in this world :p

Proceeding this way, there are very little chances that you brick your phone, but remember I'm not responsible if you do ;)

Yeah! Great work..as usual! :) Than you very much!!! A little question - may be off-topic but I've opened a thread for this few days ago - Could we use Kaiser audio drivers to solve the issues with Skype and all other voip related applications? Kaiser's audio .dlls and registry keys are available...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spocky12:
@gregnapola: Not sure it would fix anything as for now, in KisS roms, I've already replaced ks20 audio driver with SrsWowHd that doesn't work better (the same drivers is also cooked in a lot of htc custom roms without breaking voip if I remember well). So the problem surely lies elsewhere.

If you know a topic talking about kaiser's audio drivers / registry tweaks, let me know and I'll test.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gregnapola:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spocky12:
Thanks for the link. I finally found time to test kaiser's driver yesterday but with no result : I got no sound at all (I will test a bit more but not sure I'll get something.)

For srswowhd, there's no need to replace wavedev.dll. There's a key in registry telling the system what the sound driver name is. By default, for ks20 and kaiser, it's wavedev.dll (same name, but dll is totally different). What's needed to install srswowhd is just to replace this dll name with the one of srswhwhd (+a few more keys to add). (I explain this because there seems to have a big misunderstading in srs wow hd thread and some people who don't understand at all what they do give advice that just do nothing but re-enable original sound driver ;) )
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gregnapola:
Thank you for testing... I'm sorry it doesn't work :( but it's strange too: same driver + same piece of hardware...same IClass Value = no sound! uhm...Maybe the .dll cannot be registered ?

This is easy, to change the boot screen logo, flash with a hybrid rom will do, coz unbranded FLASH.bin won't hv service provider logo, but instead a LG logo
