Bricked

Hey guys, I just found this thread and have been reading through it to hopefully find a solution for my Eve. I'm stuck in ! Emergency Mode and I cannot get out of it. I believe I have all the correct progs & drivers (as listed in this thread and a few others) but for some reason i cannot get a connection to my phone. I'm thinking its because I didn't get a chance to activate the USB Debug mode. SDK seems to see the phone but cannot establish a connection. the LG_Utils starts the process but then at about 30% it asks me to reconnect my phone.

Also, my phone doesn't stay in device manager. when i plug it in, windows dings and a LG USB Modem will pop into DM, but after a few seconds it disappears.

Any thoughts?

try to get into the bootloader, download Zapcod's boot.img and system.img and flash them using nandroid on a linux distribution using the recovery image he supplied (nandroid). if u can't get it into bootloader, am afraid there isn't much you can do.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Sinate:
Hey,

I already have tried all !... get ouf the battery, update the firmware, lgmdp erase efs etc... nothing, still the same problem of airplane mode turn on alone..

What can i do to fix my problem of airplane mode :confused::(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sugardad:
No problem with Airplane mode....

I'm currently Testing the device....

Anyways this ROM has updated Sync Options for Google and some Speed/Memory Enhancements over Stock (on most Euro Stock Is V10C_00)

I really cannot tell much about battery as I use this phone for testing some apps and thingies before applying them to my ACER Liquid :D and Hero so It's not my main unit...

But overall looks till now is better than 10C and alikes
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] enkoopa:
You testing it for Rogers or for some other carrier?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Sinate:
No you don't understand... i mean, my problem is the airplane mode stay turn on ! i can't desactivate (no wifi, no bt, no gsm, nothing) i tried to update, factory reset, all... i didn't fix this problem

i repeat, what can i do to fix the airplane mode bug... i can't use my phone anymore
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] enkoopa:
My question was directed at Sugardad.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] madmack:
if its a european flash file, then i think the radio wouldn't work on our roger's phone if we flash it.

would be nice if someone with the know-how can put that kdz in their european phone, and then nandroid backup the system.img and post it here for us to share :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Sinate:
I repeat again.. sorry.

1- I can't use my phone (no wifi, no gsm, no bt, nothinh)

2- Airplane mode is always turn on ! i tried to turn off, back on alone..

3- I already have tried (update, remove battery, factory reset, efs reset with lgmdp) didn't fix the problem...

I think is a problem on boot, activate the airplane mode, i don't know what, this is why i come here to ask somebody can help me to fix the problem.

Check the pic...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sugardad:
Correct!

It's a European Open ROM not US

@Sinate

If It's a European GW620, then flash with the above mentioned file..

BTW what's your Rom Revision?

mmm, tempting.....

might give it a try iof I get some free time. (need to check what my current settings are as I quite like my customization.....)

have you seen any improvement? better stability (had my phone lock 3/4 times in the past 3months)? faster?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DJ_Spray:

just plugged right now my GW620 on the LG update utility and it tells me there is a V10K version available!, doing it......
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Sinate:
What you mean about flash with the above mentioned file... if you mean the last firmware, i already have tried to flash with a V10G Bouygues, didn't fix the problem.. i don't know what to do now...

Yes European GW620 (French version Bouygues)

LG GW620 French Bouygues

Rom Bouygues V10G (i tried a rom Rogers, a rom french open, etc... )

The airplane mode always turn on... i can't turn off, back on directly...

the wifi, bt, etc.. doesn't work..

Actually i'm really lost...

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DJ_Spray:
ok, updated to the V10G you provided, got back to a "normal" android phone. I have to say I'm quite happy to see that there is nothing to do as the whole phone is left as it was (same background, same apps installed). I had done a mybackup before but no needs in fact!

will see if I get any difference, but for the moment except if I look at the firmware page, I could not tell the difference!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hne:
Ooh! The software my phone came with. Now I can start my hackery for real, knowing there is a possibility to flash it back to its original state. I'm so looking forward to any update on getting 2.6.29 running.

While I'm at it, is there any way to avoid windows when flashing these linux phones? Only windows I have access to is in a Virtualbox at work...

Hello all,

I've uploaded my LG Flasher folder from my computer. There's a really big log called "LGUserCSTool_log00.txt" and some KDZ files. Not sure if its of any use but i think its always good to share (:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Argon0:
OK, I'll Bite, how does one install the .kdz update

As it says...

Looked around but, apart from the update tool from LG, I can't seem to find instructions on how to update the GW620.

Update tool is telling me that I am running the latest version (10b), but V10G_00 was posted here earlier on, is there a way to get the updater to "think" there's an update and point it at the kdz file?

Regards

Argon0
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Argon0:
May have answered my own question...

Looking in the phone, and on the main screen of the LGMOBILE Support tool, it says..

Software Version GW620-V10b (on phone)

Model: GW620

Version: V10B (on tool)

BUT if I go into update history and tell it to read phone info the update history says:

S/W Version: V10g

So does this means I am running 10g already?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cwhchew:
Actually, I'm suspecting that this might be a problem of an incomplete flash. That maybe the LG Update tool didn't flash the software information completely.

This is just my theory though. I had one case where i flashed my phone with 10g (from 10c) and had the tool failing and phone being in emergency mode until i took the battery out.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] d4m4s74:
It keeps saying 10.b is the newest, how do make it recognize 10g?

also, when in emergency mode my computer doesn't even see it.

ah well, if anyone can make a nandroid dump I'll just use that
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DJ_Spray:
I found that the LG automatic updater actually just needs the phone to have "mass storage" uncheck and phone on (not in emergency). It does the whole update then on its own.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Argon0:
OK.

More info.

Since getting the phone I haven't done any upgrades to it yet - beyond installing apps.

I've been following the threads and thinking about doing the apps2sd "upgrade" but decided against it until 1.6 comes out. But I have a small issue regarding G-mail not updating and CS at T-Mobile mentioned the Update tool and that I should make sure I had the latest FW.

So, having seen this thread, I decided to try that. Only to be told I had the latest FW, by the tool (b) and by the update history that I had G...

So does it look as if TM have sent me an incompletely flashed phone?

Hey Guys,

I think i've read through all of this thread and have seen a few ppl mention this b4 but i haven't found the solution. I'm running XP 32-bit and I CANNOT get my PC to pick up my phone while in USB Debug Mode. i've downloaded/created the drivers a few times now and it keeps telling me the same thing. The software cannot be located to install this hardware. seems everyone else who has run into this problem switched over to Linux. is there a solution while in the windows world?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mikerhinos:
Hi , i have the GW620 since yesterday and am pretty happy with it for now , except for the Android 1.5 thing and the windows only official updater (i'm on Ubuntu 10.04 Beta and even with virtualbox it can't correctly find the phone) :s

I have the same problem as many others , which is : official updater (on vista) says that there is an update available (i'm on stock V10C) , but after 15-20mn of downloading/installing/rebooting , i'm still on V10C and Android 1.5 so no change :confused:

I heard that the CPU frequency is locked , anyone has a link with a howto unlock it ?

Thanks ! :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cwhchew:
hi, sorry for double posting. i figured out somemore information about the xml of the previous post.

this is the address that the updater uses to check whether your phone is really by LG.

my studies have concluded that

1. the country doesn't matter : country=F

2. the region doesn't matter too: region=CPV

replace YOURIMEI with your imei number. you will get the address of your rom file (:

have fun guys.

Install European Generic Firmware on T-Mobile UK GW620

Has anyone managed to get the generic 10g firmware on a T-mobile UK GW620, The Mrs is getting one tomorrow and I want to get it updated for her, however looks like the LG updater shows only 10b available for TMUK. I also want to get it debranded for her which is another reason to update. Any way of getting the phone to think its a generic EU device?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cwhchew:
actually. i think i do have an idea. but i didn't try it because i don't wanna brick my phone.

1. Host a web server on localhost (WAMP)

2. Edit your HOSTS file to point csmg.lgmobile.com to 127.0.0.1

3. Setup your server so that it matches the layout of LG's site.

4. Launch the updater. It should get the updates from your computer instead.

Anybody wants to try ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DJ_Spray:
I don't get it: why are you not using simply the mentioned tools (kp500utils) to flash your device?

it works great (but I don't use it as I have a french keyboard and the 10g rom is qwerty only).

Any chance of a pointer to the instructions or a little tutorial, this is a pretty long thread for anyone just joining!

I've found instructions for debricking using the tool you mentioned (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5107579&postcount=126). If this is the way I'm a bit concerned about step 2 where it mentions several things that need to have been done previously. Sounds a bit like if you haven't done these previously (or haven't done them right!) you can't complete step 2, which would a problem!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zentropy:
Like myself. :)

I actually came in to ask a question about stuff posed earlier on in this thread. I'm in the process of removing some of the bloatware my Eve came with, but my second attempt is proving unsuccessful. Regardless of how many times I enable root permissions from the hidden menu or run "adb remount" or restart my phone/computer, I am consistently told that therm failed because the app is a read-only file system. I've already removed MySpace, Linkbook, MoxierMail, and (unfortunately) Rings Extended.

Is there any way to get around this? I'm pretty new to the rooting thing, but is there a way to make use of the Superuser whitelist thing?

The apps I'm trying to remove are Java downloads (Jbed.odex) and TeleNav GPS Navigator (tn55-android-LG_Eve-2003.apk).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Grank:
Yes. The thread is long and difficult to read. That's why we keep forgiving people who ignore the multiple places that say this thread is ONLY for any ongoing attempts to get AOSP 2 on the Eve.

There's a forum at AndroidNetworks.

Anyone tried v10i (europe open)? I doubt it's the 1.6 we've been waiting for, but I see no mention of it so I thought I'd ask. It has a date of 19th Feb 2010 - it's 6 weeks old but a rom could be available for testing that long before getting signed off for release, so you never know.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] britbloke:

p.s. since this version doesn't seem to have been mentioned anywhere it's probably not been officially released, so be warned...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Grank:
If it turns out to actually be 1.6, then it doesn't matter if it's an unstable test build anyway, because all we really want from it are driver binaries built against the newer kernel (or at least, that's my understanding) and then we'll be working on our own 2.1 build from that anyway...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raburton:
Hopefully it will be 1.6 then - but it's probably not! Since I've not heard of anyone flashing it I don't want to be the first, I'll let someone braver find out!

Mind you, according to wikipedia, 1.5 & 1.6 use the same kernel version, so if that's accurate I'm not sure how 1.6 helps us anyway.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raburton:
Is that same as the open europe V10i above (except for being asian, obviously), or is it a specific operators one that has different version numbering?

I'm so impatient, I keep scanning the Rogers downloads hoping for a beta. I assume that if they are going to release this for Rogers they'll be releasing it for other networks, or at least for unbranded right? If so which is most likely to be their testing ground?

Not sure you can currently buy the GW620 off contract in GB, so not sure who this rom is aimed at (maybe the phone is about to be released sim-free?).

Edit: confirmed still 1.5 :-(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] britbloke:
T-Mobile has the GW620 in the UK (where it's called the InTouch Max).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raburton:
Indeed, I've got one. But T-Mobile phones ship with the T-Mobile rom (ATMUBB - "TMU/T-MOBILE(UNITED KINGDOM)"), but the one linked above is generic (AGBRBB - "GBR/UNITED KINGDOM") which is what you'd expect to get if you bought a non-contract one, sim-free.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] britbloke:
I don't think that will happen. It's only been confirmed by LG Canada that they're working on 1.6. I doubt an online sales agent for TMobile will be able to say that they're working on 2.1. They just want to make a sale!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raburton:
I'm fairly sure it's salesmen making up anything on the spot to get a sale. I'm sure if you asked them if they plan to release an android 3.0 rom soon you'll get the same positive response. Besides, I don't doubt that if they were working on 2.1 they wouldn't be going to 1.6 for Rogers.

Of course if you are planning on getting one of these phones from them you should certainly get these assurances from the sales people before you buy. Then if they don't deliver it means you've been missold and you can use that against them should you want to (demand a different phone that does have it, get out of your contract early, etc.).
