Unfortunately, the V10P rom is with read only /system partition, so you'll have to

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

I don't see fixes in this rom for ~2h though.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
Can anyone upload the images to another server?

I tried extracting the rom and when I get to the part where I have to extract the dz file it complains about the file being corrupt and I have downloaded the file many times.

Maybe its just my computer because im running 64bit.

Hi, I have a lgGW620 and I use Orange Network Romania. On The phone its says that "Made in Korea". If I use the Korean version of firmware with android 1.6 will it work? Because from what I read there was someone in France olso in Orange Network with some problems (could not get sim unlocked). I wanna upgrate but not until I know for shure that it is going to work. I could really use your advice. 10q.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mikerhinos:
1.6 has been announced for the end of the month , if you don't want to take any risk wait for the official release.

My 2 cents :cool:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cozminell:
And if I wait and upgrate then, the firmware released will work on all the phones around the word, of only Rogers Canada.. or I don't know...?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cwhchew:
if you are not an experienced user with android, i suggest that you wait for the official rom. otherwise, you may find that you are unable to flash back to the original firmware in case something happens.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
I managed to extract the files on my 32bit machine and I have uploaded them for anyone else who doesn't want to take the time to extract them.

Now does anyone know what I am supposed to do with these files now? lol
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cwhchew:
thanks for the upload.

if you are asking this, i think zacpod would have released a rom before you got an answer.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rrevenge:
can somebody please upload the 1.5 firmware for gw620? my phone keeps crashing :(

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zacpod:
I was going to wait till there was an official rom before releasing my hack-job, but if y'all are interested I can upload the boot.img/system.img that I'm running now. It's a rooted Rogers 1.6, and fairly stable. The ABI thing is fixed, so GoogleGoggles etc works, but it doesn't have apps2sd or anything... Just a basic root job.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
I would love to have that image if you dont mind uploading it.

If it's not too much trouble do you think you could write up a guide on what to do with the extracted mbn files? I tried a cat merge to merge the system0,1,2 files but that didn't work.

The reason I ask is because two more "beta" roms were discovered today and I would love to take a shot at getting it running myself but I'm stuck.

Also as a thanks, if you need any computer gear let me know. I live in the lower mainland and I work at a computer store ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] JakeArmitage79:
Yes, that would be nice if you would upload it. Does it work with edge only or 3G too. It doesn't matter really either or. I can't seem to get the telerom to save the APN info for Rogers. You should have a paypal donation thing on your website. I might send some $ for all of your hard work.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ustrucx:
I would like that image also, flashing it doesnt mean i cant get back to my own nanodroid bkp right?

Thanks for sharing :)

missing fonts needed by the opera browser (and maybe other stuff)

hey! can anyone with 1.6 firmware check if the fonts that are missing from the 1.5 are still missing(the reason opera doesnt run), And update the section i just created in the wiki on fixing the problem?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
Thanks for the info. I unyaffed my cat'ed system mbn files and found out the merge went well, it must not have booted on my phone because I havn't figured out which files I'm supposed to merge into a boot.mbn file.

That brings me to my next question. Does anyone know how to build the boot image?

There are tons of mbn files all split up and I have no idea which ones go together.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raburton:
yes, all the info you need is in this thread (again)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zacpod:
I'll upload the Rom to my site in a few hours - just have to finish off some work. I'll post here when it's up.

Where do you work? I'm at Granville and Broadway, basically. :)

Yep, it works fine with 3G as long as you do a factory reset after installing.

If you don't do a factory reset then you're stuck with Edge only.

Oh, and there is actually a donate button at the bottom of the meatier posts. :)

You can totally get back to your nandroid backup. If you flash the image I'll upload using fastboot then you can still get in to fastboot with the space bar afterwards.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rajivenator:

Hey thanx for the effort and time u guys have given to this development !!

just to say a thanX!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
Zacpod, i sent you a pm.

Could you tell me how you managed to merge the correct mbn files to create the boot partition (for those running linux or for those who don't want to use the lg tool to flash)? I got the system partition made. I'm asking because I would like to add this info to the wiki for future reference. (I've been digging through this thread but I can't find the info i need)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ustrucx:
Awesome, i got my stock and tolerom nanodroid bkps and cant wait to get my hands on that 1.6 of yours. To be honest i didnt even installed my apps back to tolerom...im w8ing on your 1.6 to do that :p

What I used to do was burn the kdz to my phone using LG Utils, then use Nandroid to take an 'open' image of them. :)

I believe the idea here is you're already rooted.

If you type "id", that will show you the credentials that you're logged in under. just type the command "id" and press enter. It should say that you're logged in as root.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dukeraoul911:
then I deduce that enabling root permission from the hidden menu doesn't work in my case? :'

I pressed the button but nothing showed up so I don't know if I'm in the right mode or not?

when I type id in adb shell, uid and gid are not set to 0.

does anyone have an idea about that?

This is excellent news :) Congrats on your hard work guys!

It's giving me more of a reason to switch from my Bold!

@zacpod

Had a few questions (other then my usual pestering above for assistance with the modem..)

Once you're able to get us a safe point for restoring the factory ROM (I have faith! ;) ).. would a vanilla 1.5 build work on the Eve?

Then, to add certain Eve things.. I'm assuming it has software for the keyboard. For instance I notice when you slide it open, it unlocks the screen. Would these files work if copied from the Eve? Since we don't have the source...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] routehero:
If you're not getting root after going in to the hidden menu, not sure what to tell you. It should work. Maybe you just need to press it again (and make sure not to accidentally press the disable softbutton).

As for whether or not a vanilla 1.5 will work on the Eve, it should. For custom hardware, we should be able to rip out the specific modules and load them in a vanilla instance.

On the more technical side:

I was being brave and started some destructive actions on my Eve. Basically, I tried flashing the CM 1.4 recovery image on the "pkg" partition, since the Eve doesn't have a partition named recovery.

This didn't have much effect. And, unfortunately, I was doing this late at night. After several reboots of the handset, I got to the LG Logo and it said 'INVALID HEADER IN BOOT'.

At this point, the device was in fastboot mode as far as the Android SDK was concerned. You could do the fastboot operations on it. I was not able to boot the CM 1.4 image, it just said 'Booting linux...' and hung.

I have since more or less bricked the Eve. I am able to access it via Emergency mode. Using the LGMDP package, I can manipulate the device, and by watching the USB port thru Bus Hound, I can see it's still operational. However, the version of LGMDP that I have seems a bit out of date, so I can't restore my backup of /dev/mtd1 and /dev/mtd2.

Going to take it back to Rogers today and get a virgin unit. On boot, it just sits at the LG logo.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] enkoopa:
Nice work routehero!

I'm still within 30 days on the EVE, so I'm hoping to get rooted soon since that will help any returns of the unit as far as playing around with core software.

Any chance you have any thoughts on the LGE USB Modem driver issue I'm having?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dsixda:
This is excellent news, and I have been considering getting the Eve except for the fact it was firmware 1.5. But now that it's rooted there are lots of possibilities. It's the only Rogers Android phone worth buying right now, in terms of size and convenience (hardware keyboard, social networking).

You guys should definitely have a donation link up there, you are making a lot of people interested, and potentially helping LG sales as well ;-)

I'm still in Windows Mobile land but I want to get into Android and help out as much as I can.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] routehero:
Not sure what problem you're having. I have Win7 x64 and their USB modem drivers work for me. I just delete the Android device and it will pick up the LG device as an LG USB modem.

However, in order to actually work, you have to disable signing enforcement in Windows.

You can do this runtime on reboot by pressing F8 and go to 'Disable Driver Signing Enforcement', and then you can use the unsigned drivers.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dukeraoul911:
finally it works!! (... well almost)

I don't know how but I just rebooted linux and now it works

I've got uid=0 and gid=0

Is that enough to be rooted?

I don't understand step 7, do we have to do something with init.rc??

Thanks anyway, I'm so glad to be able to root it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] routehero:
You have root on the device. That's just the beginning, though.

once I get another handset, I'll start working on new tricks. However, just with having root, doesn't mean you can do everything someone on the Dream can today.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dukeraoul911:
yes because I tried to connect on local with connectbot and I can't do anything ....permission denied everywhere

do you know how I could figure a way to have scp working on my device.

I really need it because my provider forbid me to download more than 5mo per file..

So I have to use scp where they have no control..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] routehero:
Sure, there is a copy of scp in /system/xbin.

or you can use the ftp client in /sbin/.

Or you can x-compile your own binaries for ARM and copy them on.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dukeraoul911:
thanks! I'm gonna try this..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zacpod:
Last night I was able to get a version of Superuser.apk and su installed that allows all apps to prompt for root access. This allows us to run Quickboot, Backup, Overclock, etc. :)

I'm busy at work right now, but I'll post links and a little howto within the next few hours.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zacpod:
Have you tried using fastboot to boot a kernel image from your machine?

You may be able to restore the default firmware via the LG tool - I think there's a link to it early in this thread...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] enkoopa:
So this is the driver I'm using.

http://octopusbox.com/files/drivers/LGUSBModemDriver_WHQL_ML_Ver_4.9.4_All.exe

I've installed it. Again, it makes me browse all the inf files.

As far as touching the Android USB drivers, are you guys doing anything with those at all?

http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html

I've downloaded the R2 version of the driver, and then browsed to android-sdk\usb_driver and right clicked the INF and selected Install... but other then that, it never appears to be used.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zacpod:
If you want to talk to your Eve with ADB then you must use the Android SDK drivers. Find the LG device in Device Manager, right click and select update device driver, and browse to the SDK/USB Driver folder. The phone will then show up as an Android device instead of an LG device. You will then be able to use ADB.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] enkoopa:
Aha, this might have been the issue. Although I do believe I tried that, I will give it another shot. Also, might just try it on my linux box ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] enkoopa:
Wait, just out of curiosity, if I'm using the Android USB Driver.. why did I need to find LGUSBModemDriver_WHQL_ML_Ver_4.9.4_All.exe ?

Alright, here's all the nitty gritty. Vanilla (GW620 never been plugged in) Windows XP, 32 bit machine.

1) Got the Android SDK, downloaded the USB drivers R2. Located in C:\android-sdk-windows\usb_driver

2) Got LGUSBModemDriver_WHQL_ML_Ver_4.9.4_All.exe

3) Ran LGUSBModemDriver_WHQL_ML_Ver_4.9.4_All.exe, it installs.

4) Plug in the EVE.

5) Found New Hardware Wizard pops up for "LG Mobile USB Modem"

6) I choose "Install from a list.."

7) "Don't search, I will choose..."

8) "Show all devices"

9) "Have disk"

10) At this point, I get the install from disk prompt... I've tried

10a) Browsing to *every single INF* located under C:\Program Files\LG Electronics\LG USB Modem Driver

10b) Typing just C:\Program Files\LG Electronics\LG USB Modem Driver\ instead of using the Browse button, and hitting OK

10c) Browsing to C:\ANDROID-SDK-WINDOWS\USB_DRIVER\android_winusb.inf

10d) Typing C:\ANDROID-SDK-WINDOWS\USB_DRIVER instead of using the Browse button, and hitting OK.

11) For all those attempts, each one pops up "The specified location does not contain information about your hardware."

So... incredibly stumped and frustrated at this point :) Hopefully, all this troubleshooting will help many others in the weeks to come with the Eve coming alive!

Thanks!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] enkoopa:
Progress!

Contrary to http://www.devfrustrated.com/devBlog/how-to-upgrade-the-fw-of-lg-eve-gw620/ ...

If I turn debug mode OFF, the LG drivers install without any issue! Hoorah!

However, "adb devices" shows no devices attached.

Will keep playing. Enabling debug mode gets me back to the issue above.

Hey!

I'm just registered at this forum after I bought a GW620 with Germany/Vodafone branding. I have written a mail to LG Germany support two days ago, if there will be an android 1.6 update, but they said, that the do not know.

Does one know what files are different between those many localized versions (Englisch/French/German)? As I have read, its a XIM file for the qwertz/qwerty/... keyboard, and some list of APN. APN is associated to the 3G network, I think?

So if there would only be an 1.6 update for roger customers (as there are rumors), them there should be a way to make it available to everyone else.

So to start with it, I will take a look at the diffs between the current roger and vodafone rom.(?)(seems reasonable to me)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] anarchymisc:
Uncheck the "Phone vibrate" checkbox in the menu, this fixes the problem for me. I've been testing the vibration in the Hidden Menu and noticed that it works with one frequence only. Another bug list of korean roms:

V10M, V10P - SD card is frequently remounted with a message "sd card removed unexpectedly"

V10M - FM radio stops working after few minutes with "You have to plug headphones" (headphones are plugged and the icon in status bar is present). Works after restart

V10M, V10O - The display is not lit when you remove the phone from your ear afrer a call - you have to unlock it in order to end a call

V10O keyboard - ";" and ":" (and probably other symbols) do not appear. You'll have to put another XIM.apk

V10O (and others probably) - when battery reaches 30% it drops very quickly (1-2hr) If you restart the phone, it does not anymore.

All korean roms - trying to adjust volume of ringing while the phone is ringing mutes the ringer.

M and O - various redrawing issues - on O the status bar sometimes flickers, on M the clock is not updated correctly when dragging between desktops

ABI incompatible errors can be fixed, but Goggles often crashes on 10P and M (not tested on O)
