In regards of the u version, does anyone have access to the sources?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ecaheti:
whats the linux kernel version of this V10U?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] frankmaier111:
Android 1.6, 2.0 and 2.1 all uses 2.6.29.

1.5 was based on 2.6.27 and 2.2 is based on 2.6.32
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ssa193:
whether the V10u can do fastboot ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dr.snuggles:
FYI.. just some quick infos..

The Korean V10U rom runs kernel version "2.6.29 LGE@new1 #4". Android 1.6

Root can be enabled in the hidden menu 3845#*5200#.. but password has been changed to eve&adam&&620love! ..adam/eve switched place. Superuser.apk ect can be installed using Zacpods "Root the stock image" guide.

Korean, English, English (US) are the languages available to choose from, but many more can be enabled with the MoreLocale 2 app from the market..

Linpack MFLOPS: 2.223 - 2.247 (after fresh restart)

Fastboot does not work.. (tried Space, and Menu+Space)

Emergency boot works
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] JeWy85:
"let it run for about 20 minutes. it should load eventually. then perform a factory reset and restart your phone"

I have try that but it doesn't work

so I will try fastboot -w other wise I have to go to service center

*edit* fastboot -w work great thanks giorgio130 for pointing out
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ssa193:
Thx a lot for your info
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] JeWy85:
can I put font in v10u and can I put thai keyboard on it?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AlkaYoda:
Flashed to V10U and then I've got only LG logo, then android and then black screen without any control available.

Going to flash back to V10O (Orange), remove my userdata and try again....

Ok it worked removing userdata

Wifi doesn't seem to work / can't see any wireless network ssid.

Changing domains (number of channels) doesn't solve the problem.

No wi-fi symbol in notification bar ...

-----> OK after a factory reset....

Can't install appmonster / anycut to setup my apn because of no network available (No edge / No 3G / No Wifi) - Only GSM

---> OK

seems to work well for the moment. langage fr with more locale 2 OK

APNs OK with anycut

News from the kernel front

finally a reply from me :)

took some time, but i was on vacation (and i still am), so nothing big happened.

first, some bad news about 2.6.29: i copied the wrong source tree to my laptop, so i don't have my cleaned .29 sources here. i will polish and post them min/end next week when i am back home.

but i have something else for you:

quoted from my blog at maldn.blogspot.com

although i don't have much time here (holiday stuff like swimming/fishing/relaxing are important too ;-) ), i am working on the video-driver for 2.6.32. but since the codeaurora and google trees are _very_ different when it comes to that, i don't expect quick results. but the above should give those interested something to hack on. maybe I²C-bus stuff? or GSM/3G stuff?

Korean 10U Firmware Bug Report

I found a bug about Korean 10 Firmware.

1. Turn off yhe GW620.

2. Connect the charging cable into the GW620.

3. GW620 start booting itself, but...

4. Just the LG logo flickers continously, continously,continously.....

It can not boot...

Then you might think my GW620 become a brick.... (-_-);;

5. Pull out the charging cable.

Then, finally your GW620 completes booting.

I called and notified to LG Service Center, and they admitted the bug.

They said they started fixing the problem as soon as i notified it.

But they gave no definite answer about the exact bug fix schedule.

P.S - Sorry for my poor english because I'm Korean.

And this is my fist posting, and i'm unaccustomed to this forum.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Adam620:
Recovery img?

I don't know if this may be relevant for us, but there's a custom recovery image for the LG Ally (http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-ally/146564-ally-recovery-img-here-custom-roms.html) and it might help people switch more easily between the 2.1 and a more stable image...

I haven't had the time to look into it, but if it can be adapted to the Eve that would be quite nice...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] d4m4s74:
can't we just use nandroid?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Adam620:
To backup, yes, but the recovery image also allows you to boot on any image that's on the SD card, thus allowing to switch easily from one ROM to another...

Anyway, it's only a kind of "bonus" and in no way necessary...

Guide

Seeing that this is one of the hottest topic of this forum, I think its only logical that someone should sort out the infos from the comments so that there is a step by step guide that would stop people from asking the same question again and again.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lvhomie:
There was Wiki page for Eve but now it`s down due security reasons on old Wiki system
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] CoMiKe:
I believe the Wiki at htt* :// code.google. com/p/openetna/ is a good place to mantain all GW620 information.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Polytheus:
I second that! I can give everyone the needed permissions to add content to the wiki at the openetna project page.

And I'm back from holiday :-)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Sojiroh:
Nice to hear that.

And I think it's a good idea to let everyone contribute to the wiki
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] CoMiKe:
That's the spirit of a wiki.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 3x0dys:
I'm having a bit of a problem, and I'm hoping someone can help me. I flashed my phone to 2.1 with JIT enabled, and it worked great for a few days, then my 3G stopped working, I tried airplane mode, making sure my APN's were correct, resetting it, -w'ing it, nothing helped. So, I figured I'd flash it to Zacpod's 1.6, as it was what I was using previously, and never had a problem with it, and my 3G still didn't work.

It's not the weather, there hasn't been a cloud in the sky, and I usually have full reception at home. When I go into the hidden menu, I can't select WCDMA on 850 or 1900, so I looked it up, and the asian version of the phone only supports 900/2100. I'm thinking seeing as these are mostly based on korean firmwares, they're not set to have those bands open? I don't know, I just want 3G back. :(

Optimus Q as a few days so you can upgrade to 2.1 will be action did,

Andro-1(gw620) is scheduled to announce the upgrade schedule. Please do confuse.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ustrucx:
Hold on so this means 2.1 from LG? Im confused :p
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] zezke:
I think not. I asked about the 2.1 upgrade in June and LG Benelux told me they wouldn't release one. Three weeks ago I asked where the official 1.6 update was and they replied (one week ago) that they could not say if and when the 1.6 update was coming. It appears they have been lying to me (and us) all along.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bylokk:
No other LG department than LG Korea knows about the possibility of an updated Android version for the LG GW620. This is what LG Germany said to me.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ssa193:

If yes.... wow... a good news... thx Kim
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] grunf:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zacpod:
Have a look at this page. It has some great info on how to unpack/repack Android boot roms. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] enkoopa:
Weird.

Using terminal emulator.. I can't chmod 755 the downloaded busybox! The command completes, but I only get rw! no x!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] routehero:
I do everything via adb shell and it works no problem.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zacpod:
Is the filesystem it's on RW? Are you su'd?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] enkoopa:
The file is on /sdcard, looks like it's mounted with fmask 0711...

Can you remount the FS's as rw from terminal emulator? Or has to be done with adb?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] routehero:
You can remount from any terminal. Just use mount -o remount,rw.

I've given up on my Windows-based endeavors and have kicked off an install of Ubuntu in a VM. Can't do much more without their tools.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] enkoopa:
Doesn't seem to work.

# mount -o rw,remount
Usage : mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] ...
#

Having spent 5 hours trying to get rooted with windows, and 2 minutes spent rooting with Linux, I feel your pain.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] routehero:
Until vold is configured not to mount the sdcard with noexec, don't put binaries there -- the fs prohibits it. Copy it to /data/local, for example.

Then execute via /data/local/busybox

It fails in different places, but usually right after it detects the phone model.

S'ok - I think I got it going now. I re-downloaded the KDZ file. I think the one I had was corrupted. It's actually doing the flash now - 4% done. It never got as far as this before, so I might be ok.

Lol, I feel like an idiot though... I downloaded Cyanogen, opened the zip, and saw that it had a boot.img and a system + data directory. Soooo... I adb pushed both those dirs to the phone before burning the boot.img to mtd2. But... I'm booted in to windows. No execute permissions were transfered to the phone since those attributes don't exist on ntfs. All of a sudden, sh wasn't executable anymore, and I was boned. I know better than that - I just hardly ever work on this phone from Windows. D'oh!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zacpod:
It's all good now. Flash worked, and now it's at factory default. Didn't even have to do the "am start" stuff. Just took a LONG time to boot up the first time. :D

Use WiFi to download "Any Cut" from the Market, use Any Cut to create a shortcut to an APN activity. Then use the shortcut to build an APN. You'll need to enter the APN details into the correct inputs.

3 line summary.

LG GW620 will update to proyo (skip eclair)

may be It will update end of november or begining of december.

GW620 maybe doesn't support multi touch and wifi tethering. (they said it is h/w limitation.)

(and update method and details will be anouncing next.)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] youx72:
Haha, lucky innocent guillable you :) ...

They said we'd get 1.6 by January (2010!)... then as we went over January they said we'd get it by Spring... oh wait it's already the end of summer, but we really really will get it to you by Autumn!

And now they say 2.2 for the end of the year?

News from LG Electronics blog.

hxxp://blog.lge.com/471

Because of hardware's limitation, LGE was promised Andro-1(Korean version of GW620) will support up to 1.6 version. but since there is a lot of users request we had talked with Google and Qualcomm and finally we can say release 2.2(Froyo) firmware will be released during November~December. and there's no upgrade for 2.1(Eclair).

We will make all functions that Qualcomm MSM7200A chipset supports like mobile-banking support, but maybe won't support Multi-Touch and Wi-Fi Thethering because of hardware limitation.

We'll provide upgrade method and more info later. We hopes this update solves inconvenience that Andro-1 users may have.

In short, they promised Froyo update for GW620 at November to December.

Sorry for my English if you was hard to read my post :|
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Sojiroh:
Maybe, but remember that this is LG Korea we're talking about, thanks to them we have the 1.6 image. It's LG from everywhere else that's making false promises.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Grank:
I can definitely see how the hardware wouldn't support multi-touch, of course, but the hardware maybe not supporting wifi tethering surprises me. Meh, as long as wired tethering works I guess I don't care much, I'm just curious.

That having been said, that'll be more than a year since I bought the phone and have been putting up with 1.5 the whole time... what's the life expectancy of a smart phone with new hardware coming out all the time? I don't think I've ever owned a phone more than 3 years. I'd much rather be running openetna 4.2 now rather than waiting for LG's froyo until sometime at the end of the year, if they even make that date... :)

edit, it looks like 4.2 can't be built from source yet. you'll (and I'll) have to wait
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Grank:
Well giorgio did say to wait on some "last-minute fixes", so even if I was going to build from source (which 9 times out of 10 I never get around to doing before someone releases a binary for whatever device anyway, unless I'm actually coding it myself), I thought I'd wait until he or poly or zac or someone else who's been contributing code to the build effort gives a go-ahead and endorses a rev (or better yet, posts a binary ;))

1.5 backup

Hey Guys,

I've been procrastinating for sometime now about updating from 1.5 but I think I have had enough and am ready to give it a try. My only concern is that I do not have a Linux or Mac to use to create a system backup. Has anyone tried using CYGWin to run Nandroid and make a backup or better yet, does anyone have a working backup of 1.5 they could send me/I could download? Sorry if i missed this post somewhere in here already. I tried to find the Wiki page that was devoted to this phone but since the Wiki update I can't find it anymore.
