It's a very nice little phone. Hopefully we can get Android 2.0.1 running on it, but don't hold your breath! I doubt LG will be as forthcoming with drivers as HTC is - which means we'll be stuck trying to make the existing binary drivers work on 2.0.1 which may or may not be possible depending on the kernel differences between the two versions.

Here's a nice page on how to compile Android for the HTC Dream/Magic. It illustrates how much work we'll have to do filling in the holes that a lack of LG drivers will cause.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] enkoopa:
i'm hanging out in #android on freenode

using quassel.. what a great little free irc client!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] enkoopa:
Hmm, think there's any chance we'll be able to recover a brick using solely linux?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zacpod:
Doubt it. You need windows to run the LG utilities.

If we can figure out how to get in to LG's equivalent of FastBoot then we may be able to flash manually. Till then, you need to have windows to recover.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dennijr:
im holdin my breath, u guys can do it! :P
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] enkoopa:
Well, downloading cupcake, donut, and eclair as we speak. Should be done tomorrow :)

Although I ain't touching anything until I get adb working from windows lol! Will start another fight with the drivers tomorrow.

Here's the Rogers APK's.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] panesingh:
hey, thanks alot for all the hard work you guys put in. Looks great, even though i have no clue whats going on haha, just holding my breath like the other guy, waiting for 2.0.

thankss

lmao, so far 2 of us are gonna sufficate unless this can be accomplished, no rush :P haha we believe in u :D

I just recovered from bricked myself again. This time I tried to install a Hero 2.0 image.

I just used flash_write to burn the boot.img to the boot partition. I didn't copy the system or data filesystem, so I'm not really surprised it didn't boot, but I thought it was worth a try.

I need to make a yaffs2 image from the system and data folders so I can burn them directly to their respective mtd devices.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] routehero:
I fell asleep last night before my first droid build was completed. I wanted to do a full build so I had all of the output to tinker with.

This morning I modified default.prop and init.rc and rebuilt the ramdisk/boot image. I flashed it on to the device and rebooted, and it works.

I made only a few simple changes, but they worked:

ro.secure=0

ro.debuggable=1

I also removed nosuid,nodev from /system and /data and set /system as rw on reboot.

LG left /proc/config.gz on the system so it shouldn't be too much effort to build out a new kernel for the unit.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] routehero:
Fastboot Mode:

This is destructive. Do so at your own risk.

1) cat /dev/zero >/dev/mtd/mtd2
2) reboot

You're now in fastboot mode. If you run 'fastboot devices', you should see something akin to:

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot devices
? fastboot

At this point, you can manually boot a boot image (ramdisk+kernel):

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot boot \temp\newboot.img
downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY
booting... OKAY

And if your image doesn't suck, you'll be back in your phone.

Tried to compile eclair last night, no dice. Ill check the errors this evening.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nixpayn:
Yay!

Been quietly following this thread the past couple days.

I love my Eve.. but.. cant understand why they didnt at least get 1.6 on there.. sorta irritating.

But it looks like you guys are making some good progress doing.. whatever it is youre doing (some of it kinda makes sense, but mostly i'm nodding and smiling).

I somewhat doubt theres gonna be a global outcry for the Eve to get a firmware update, so you guys are probably our best bet :)

Thanks!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] GnatB:
All at once, the lurkers come out to show our appreciation. I had an HTC magic that I gave to my gf when I upgraded to the LG Eve. That's when I discovered the world of rooting and flashing ROMS. She is now running Hero on her device and I'm stuck with an LG version of android loaded with crap from Rogers that I'll never use.

I have a really good contact when it comes to hardware, so I'm gonna add a little incentive for you guys to get the 2.0.1 running on the EVE.

Brand New LG Eve/Magic/Dream or what ever other android phone is available at the time for $100 bucks or less.:D

pm me if you have any questions.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dennijr:
hmm, so question, from what ive read, its only possible to get games on the eve if you download them directly to the phone from the android market or whatever. do u think it will be possible to manually put games on the phone after some changes to it have been made? or is it already possible?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] litui:
In short, so long as you keep the Market app (or have a newer version) on your phone you will always be able to download content (with restrictions based on where you live, for instance in Canada we currently have no access to paid content).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] peerpower:
Thanksss alott!!!!

thank you my friend!

My the way LG Turkiye says;

There will not be any update no 1.6 nor 2.x !! I got the e-mail today!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Pao_:
you're welcome

i'm still loocking for a wifi tether application that works with boot1.6 and system4.3

Any info ?

about the update, i thinks Lg korea as the mother home og LG is more credible than other branches.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] OhHai:
the thing is that my camera doesnt work at all.. when i press the camera shortcut my phone reboots

i didnt factory reset
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] peerpower:
Did you give a try to Barnacle wifi tether?? search for it in the market. I'm using that one works perfect. but no idea for your rom. give it a try. maybe will work!

and for the updata agreed with you, wait for lg korea! :rolleyes:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cwhchew:
i tried that, it doesnt work for the new rom. works for donut though
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] peerpower:
I understand. Ok we wil find a solution for wifi tethering. hopefully! :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] micsa79:
you may give a try to azilink (h ttp://code.google.com/p/azilink/). It doesn't need kernel NAT and it worked on my gw620 orig fw.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] OhHai:
Hei guys. I factory reset, reinstalled boot and system v4.3 and did fastboot -w. Same thing... as soon as I launch the Camera app my phone reboots.

Installed 1.5 and it works so it cant be hardware.

If anyone knows wtf is going on I apreciate it. Logcat doesnt show anything in particular I think.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Pao_:
@micsa79

azilink uses usb cable, it's not a wifi tether application ...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] alfatron4:
thanks, now it works

Testind new version of firmware Polytheus

Hello Guys, God Bless Everyone!

I tested the new firmware from Polytheus, and this one wonder, just missing to be 100%!!

In my Eve does not work: Make connections, Finish a link, Video Camera, QWERTY Keyboard, Wifi unstable (Connects most is losing the connection), Bluetoth not activate.

All other features, camera and everything works great, this much faster and saving more battery.

I believe that soon we will be using the new firmware thanks to you! Thank you for your hard work and God bless you abundantly.

Sorry for English.

No 3g

I just upgraded to the newest 1.6+4.3, and for staters its awesome!

But i noticed that I have never seen 3g network on my phone. I just assumed it was my location at frist, but i went into nashville the other day, and periodically checked by searching networks, and I can never find any other network other than gsm...

I want my 3g! :( lol, can anyone help? is there a way to test the hardware on the phone?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] giorgio130:
This is interesting, try a dmesg...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Bear6009:
Could you give me a bit more instruction. And what am i looking for?

I wonder if some how the 3g raido might be off, or broken...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] giorgio130:
Ok. it seems the kernel is crashing, or something like that. In an adb shell, issue the command "dmesg" and post the last lines...

I'm back again.

I've installed a combined 1.6T ROM.(Phone.apk is from V10U).As this is the only ROM that could send a fine chinese SMS,we chinese currently are much fond of this ROM.

But it also has some bugs,the incoming call vibration causes system crashes, and google sync function waste so much battery and CPU then slow down the performance.

Is there any available solution to kill these two issues? If there is a APP2SD version of 10O ROM,it's nearly perfect for us.

BTW,this afternoon I went to the service center,my weired operator refuses to offer me a lower capacity SIM card,even if I would pay the same cost of a 128KB SIM,that suncks.

Could you guy offer the korean LG customer service e-mail? I want to report these issues to them to see if there's any hope.

Thank you all!And take care,good health means everything!

Camera Issues

Hey Guys,

I'm using the 4.3 version of Android 2.1 and so far everything seems to be working fine; except for my camera. Anyone able to get theirs working properly yet? The only other thing I've noticed so far is that my back and home buttons aren't even close to as sensitive as they were with 1.5. So much so that my home button doesn't respond sometimes. not complaining about that tho!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] OhHai:
What happens when you use your camera? Does the phone reboot?

Aparently its working for many people, but I'm having that issue aswell.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SpL3rG3:
No my phone doesn't reboot. It looks like th camera is going to start up and I can actually see the camera gui in the background but i get an error message before I can do anything and I have to force close the camera.

I've tried a few different camera apps but they all do the same thing. I'm going to try to find another camera app from another LG phone maybe and try that one.

I've also noticed that the alarm clock keeps messing up, which is funny because I don't have the alarm clock activated. think i'm just going to remove the stock alarm clock and try one from the market and see if that fixes it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] giorgio130:
If your alarm clock does funny things it looks like you have corrupted data... try to flash anew boot.img, system.img and then fastboot -w...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Netwhell:
Hi all,

In first time, sorry for my english (i'am french) :)

Now, i explain my problem :

I try to install the Rom Openetna 2.1.

But i have a problem when i want to flash my phone with the rom :

root@ubuntu:/media/4GO# ./fastboot -w
erasing 'userdata'... OKAY
erasing 'cache'... OKAY
root@ubuntu:/media/4GO# ./fastboot erase boot
erasing 'boot'... OKAY
root@ubuntu:/media/4GO# ./fastboot erase system
erasing 'system'... OKAY

All that's is ok. But before, the phone don't want to make the flash :

ubuntu@ubuntu:/media/4GO$ ./fastboot flash boot bootV1.4.img
sending 'boot' (2248 KB)... OKAY
writing 'boot'... FAILED (remote: flash write failure)
ubuntu@ubuntu:/media/4GO$

I had make lot of test, and i see, when i do that :

root@ubuntu:/media/4GO# ./fastboot boot bootV1.4.img
sending 'boot' (2248 KB)... OKAY

The phone reboot, and in fastboot, i can do the next of flash

root@ubuntu:/media/4GO# ./fastboot flash boot bootV1.4.img
sending 'boot' (2248 KB)... OKAY
writing 'boot'... OKAY
root@ubuntu:/media/4GO# ./fastboot flash system systemV4.2.img
sending 'system' (84321 KB)... OKAY
writing 'system'... OKAY

BUT, before, my phone reboot and reboot on Android Logo.

I try with members of Frandroid to find an solution, but... nothing :/

I think my phone don't want to write, but i don't know why.

I make the flash on Ubuntu Live CD 10.4.

Thanks for all who can help me :D

I'm new here and i just bought a LG GW620 ! This phone has the old 1.5 OS Android and i would like to install, at least, the 1.6.

Just out of curiosity, should I have done a factory reset in 1.5 before I flashed the new rom? Zacpod's 1.6 instructions state a FR is necessary but the 2.1 forum didn't mention anything. I'm just wondering if that would fix the alarm clock FC error and the camera error. Since I'm now on 2.1 can I just do a factory reset now?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] giorgio130:
Yes, there's no difference in doing that now or before. give it a try ;)

Watch out as "factory reset" in the menu doesn't work, you'll have to use a "fastboot -w"

And thanks to everyone who put any work into this. I'm now running the 4.4 image and its running great. I believe my battery life is even better now than in the last release. Camera is now working although the video camera seems to crash now, not a huge deal though. I'm excited to see if they can get the 2.2 working..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ustrucx:
I flashed 4.4 and i had some issues with the home button not working but the problem is i made a backup of my old rom and i didnt noticed the system.img is not there, there is a system.tar, how do i fix this. I tried rename to system.img but that gives flash error, how can i make that .tar become a .img?

Thanks.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] frankmaier111:
you have to install the google-apps to get the home-button work. how to do that is described on openetna.com (at the bottom)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] giorgio130:
This happens if you run nandroid as normal user, you should do it as root. there's a way to get a .img but it's really easier to get google apps installed and then do a new backup as root.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MFisher:
I flashed 4.4 and let me say it looks and feels great!

As someone said, only thing that it isn't working is the video camera, will try to install some app to see if it works.

The only thing i'm struggling with is running adb install (issue 102) in order to re-install my apps.

Also, where i can i see the logs from the phone? e.g , when the camera process crashes, how can i have more detailed info?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Bear6009:

Ok,

I Think this is my issue... I dont have any 3g connection, wont even show up, and I am in the states on AT&T, no 3g at all....

I am running a V10 D Verson...

Do i have to use the lg utils with kdz files? or can i do it with fastboot? What are the commands to do a fastboot with a kdz file?

UPDATE: Ok, i found a v10g but when i use the lg utils, it always locks up on "checking s/w version" I even tried on the lg mobile support tools to recover phone to an eairler version and same thing, it locks up on "checking s/w version"...

Any advice/help?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bmanhas:
So tried the new 1.7 with the 2.1.......works pretty good.

I can't seem to get my laptop to read the SD card. I had a heck of a time trying to get it to accept the drivers. I did the fastboot on an XP machine and the adb shell commands on a Windows 7 based machine. Found the difference being that you can force feed drivers to Windows 7.

I just can't seem to access the SD card through USB though, anybody have any ideas?

Any idea if bluetooth support is coming? Going to be a problem with the no cell phone laws everywhere now.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Bear6009:
Wow,

So I fix my no 3g problem...

It was the firmware, it DOES matter what carrier you go with, because if you are running a 850 3g band, you CANT use the v10D firm ware, because the frimware changes the band to the 900 band...

Hope that helps
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SpL3rG3:
I don't know if this will help, but I've noticed that the USB Debugging mode and the ability to view your SD card are now linked in this new rom. So if USB DB is off, your PC won't pick up your phone. Go into your phone settings, Application settings, Development and make sure USB DB is checked.

Hope that helps.

Hello Guys,

Could anyone help me, when I put the firmware Polytheus I can not make calls. I would use this new version of boot system 1.7 and 4.4, but with him on the phone can not make or receive calls!

Now appreciate everyone's help, God bless you.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tetsuo6995:
I think your problem is related to this issue.

New official update news?

Hi,

I have some new official update news and we hope all that this will come true. Is it not? It is a translation from Dutch to English. Dutch is my native language. Here we go...

LG Mobile has confirmed to 'All about phones' that it will come with two importent updates for her Android phones. The Optimus Android GT540 will have an upgrade to Android 2.1 and the GW620 will get an Android 2.2 update.

Blablablabla... some text about the Optimus Android GT540.... blablablabla

LG will also provide it's GW620 smartphone with an interesting update. According Tulner LG is busy at the moment with an update to Android version 2.2 for this phone and it has to be ready early next year. Tulner place a remark about that not all functionality of Android 2.2 will be available due to hardware limitations. An example will be the Wifi-hotspot for Android 2.2 This will not work on the GW620 with the update.

Good news... or not? It seems that the hardware limitaions are the limit. Now are the software limitations the limit. But... let us first see what happens. LG promises are not only last during time !!!

Kind regards... Henk
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] trystan2k:
LG seems like my Bank: Every day the promess a new date for the things you ask and this date never arrives.

LG said in April that an update to 1.6 would be lanched in September this year... So they have only 7 days to do this...

And now they said that will have 2.2 next year? Why they do not publish a official release note saying the true? We always heard thes 'news' throuth a website, blog, magazine, etc... I want LG saying in their website !
