I've flashed Eclair to my 620 having previously Zacpod's V10T installed.

Notice the mobile starts up with Zacpod's iconic "DONT PANIC" screen, is this because I already had Zacpod software installed.

Get the WiFi options and can enter password but no connection from phone.

Rebooting again for a mammoth play.

WITH MANY THANKS TO ALL THOSE THAT HAVE GOT THE GW620 THIS FAR.

Grats Polytheus!!!!

I can't wait to get home tonight and give the image a try!

You really should set up a donation link - your hard work should not go unrewarded!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] OhHai:
Great work guys, specially polytheus and his latest developments. If we can actually get an almost fully fuctional 2.1 ROM on this phone I'll be more than glad to make a donation for your hard work.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Polytheus:
I have packed the wrong ContactsProvider. This causes all sorts of problems. To remedy them,

remove /system/app/GoogleContactsProvider.apk

and copy this ContactsProvider.apk to /system/app

Google apps do work with this with full synchronisation.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] JccageX2:
Hey guys :)

I've been looking through this thread for a few days now, I seem to be a bit confused about if there is a actual working ROM. Also does anyone have the full ROOT guide?

So is there a ROM fully working yet, or are you quite close?

Thanks guys, just a Android n00b trying to learn here :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AFGadd:
Changed the GoogleContactsProvider.apk and it's transformed the Eclair.img.

Still concerned that I cant access "3845#*620#" and therefore "Module Test > Stability Test > Enable Root Permission" and I would guess this means that no rooting of the mobile if a "Factory Reset" is carried out???

Having said that, I seem to be unable to find a factory reset in the settings menu!!!

There is also an issue with the Notifications Panel, while the bar works there is no information in the opened panel.

Reset the Superuser list and can browse the Root directories again.

THANKS AGAIN, PLEASE KEEP UP THIS FANTASTIC WORK.

I can't find how to clear notification after your download from market.

Do you know it ?? Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ecaheti:
nice, it corrects also my market problem.

edit : but it make a crash of com.android.calendar =/
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mapstec:
FANTASTIC!! - What can I say? Polytheus, please set up a donation link.

Ok, back to 2.1: As you stated GPS does not work.

Music works when you replace Music.apk with e.g. MusicMod.apk - but:

Headphones are not recognised :eek:

So I have flashed back to 1.5 as I need GPS as well as music through the headphones :o

Please keep up the good work!!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lvhomie:
Waiting for more stable release...

Any way, thanks for your job! Realy good! LG must shame...

EDIT: Poly, is there any way to translate your miracle???
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Polytheus:
Just a note: With boot.img v1.1 adb already runs as root so there is no need to go in the HiddenMenu (which is not included anyway).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AFGadd:
Thanks, gives me confidence.

Thanks very much for all your hard work.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] giorgio130:
Little probelm: as soon as I push the new ContactsProvider.apk I start getting android.process.acore crashing. It works for you... what am I doing wrong?

adb push ContactsProvider.apk /system/app/ContactsProvider.apk

I even thought it was a permission problem so:

chmod 644 ContactsProvider.apk

to make it like the other files in the directory...

but nothing. Any advice?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AFGadd:
I renamed "ContactsProvder.apk" to "GoogleContactsProvder.apk" and pushed the file. Worked fine for me...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] giorgio130:
Thanks, I missed the different name :)

Further testing now...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gunggu:
I cannot get adb working even after flashing the new boot file, no su either....

I can't get the gmail contacts synchronization to work. Tried pushing the file provided by Polytheus, renamed it to GoogleContactsProvider.apk, all I can get is contacts with names and no phones or e-mails. Contacts is not even listed in sync options for my account after replacing the apk. Can anyone confirm this works and give me steps to fix it? Thanks.

Does we must needs a system/framework/lge-res.apk ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dr.snuggles:
Just a quick qustion from a n00b..

Would the system files (radio, wifi, bt etc) from the LG Ally help in any way?

It runs Android 2.1, and also have Qualcomm chipset, cpu etc.. i know its a diffrent cpu (little bit faster) but still?..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] grunf:
poly - great work. if you open some sort of donation link i will find way to donate.

Since this is my only phone and it is locked to provider i can not flash it but i will watch this thread closely for developments.

Both my GW620's are tied into T-Mobile UK, both have been successfully flashed several times over with both Zacpod's ROMs and also with POLYs..

The software does not depend on the network, and the mobile is often improved by removing network provided software crap...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] giorgio130:
download the system.img and run unyaffs on it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] elefas:
Great work Polytheus, zacpod and others! It's great to have a new version of android running on out little devices.

I have (successfully I think) flashed both boot.img and system.img to my phone. I reboot it, get the DONT PANIC logo and then the android logo. After few moments the screens goes black (the backlight is on though) and nothing happens? Any idea what is going on???
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ustrucx:
Looks like you installed Zac's 1.6 image right? i had same issues when i was flashing his 1.6 image, what i did was make sure i had wiped all the data from phone (did it a few times :p ) and then flashing again, i flashed like 4 times till i had success so dont be afraid to re-do the steps all over and flash the phone again.

This is considering you followed Zac tutorials on his blog.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] elefas:
Nope I had the 1.5 original rom, anyway I will try to flash again.

One more question. I only have to flash boot.img and system.img right? Not the userdata.img and some other .imgs I have from my previous backup (of my original rom).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] giorgio130:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] elefas:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Bear6009:
Been watching this thread for weeks now! Great work yall, Cant wait to get my poor eve a much needed update.

I am using a New Zealand branded Gw620f (telecom)

I cant get into fast boot mode, I have searched the crap out of the web for any way to get into it to no avail!

Could anyone help me... Space (space + menu) even holding '1' key on boot is not working, tried with and without battery. Tried without usb, nothing, no fast boot. I am running v10e.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Ludoz:
Downgrade in V10G or V10C with LG-Utils. You'll get fastboot.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] elefas:
In my original rom I had also greek keyboard (switching between english and greek by pressing caps+space). Is there any way to enable greek input on eclair?

Moreover I have observed when the gsm system is active (i.e. not in airplane mode) the phone gets hot, is that normal?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] elefas:
What about battery consumption? Took my phone off the charger at 09:00AM fully charged (with gsm, 3g enabled) and by 14:00 the phone shut down, no more battery!!! Is that possible? 5 hours with no calls at all! In my previous post I mentioned that the phone gets warm meaning that it is draining battery but at such rate? Do you have similar issues guys with the eclair rom flashed?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] d4m4s74:
awesome how far you've gotten till now. I'm downloading the files as we speak and will try as soon as possible.

Any word on the GPS and especially music?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Polytheus:
System.img V4.1 and boot.img V1.2 are released.

boot.img is on the project page .

system.img here

EDIT:

zagitariuz mirrored it here: http://hotfile.com/dl/58673176/9e47f54/systemV4.1.7z.html

Beware, I packed it wrong. The 7z-file is actually bzip2 compressed.

frankmaier111 repacked it as zip and uploaded it here: http://rapidshare.com/files/410080405/systemV4.1.zip.html

Feel free to use the issue tracker at the project homepage for reporting bugs and enhancements!

CHANGELOG:

ATTENTION: Wipe needed!

Use boot.img V1.2 or higher!

Replaced GoogleContactsProvider by ContactsProvider (sync is handled by GoogleContactsSyncAdapter)

Added Anycut and Rootexplorer

Updated apn list to cyanogen mod's

Upgraded libsqlite to android 2.1

Upgraded libnetutils to android 2.1

Upgraded native database functions,

android_os_MemoryFile,

android_net_NetUtils,

android_graphics_Typeface to android 2.1 by libandroid_runtime_eclair

This library contains the functionality of android 2.1's libandroid_runtime

and is used to overwrite some functions of the libandroid_runtime from

korean-v10t (which we have to use)

Fixed suid for xbin/su and bin/su. This is set in /system/bin/rc.

Now applications can again use root

Fixed Issue 27: directional arrows messed up (thanks saxando4u for reporting)

Fixed Issue 21: Notifications Bar issues

Fixed Issue 18: Wifi issues, will connect to wep but not wpa

But we have to see if my fix works for networks with only WPA or only WPA2 but not both

If you have already configured a network in a earlier version, you have to remove it and then add it again

Security issue: Dropbear is not automatically started on boot

You can change /system/bin/rundropbear if you want it

Fixed signatures for Arc* apps, now market works and and downloading inside the browser works, too

Fixed Issue 17: Cannot import/sync contacts

and additionally details are now shown

(even birthday!)

And would someone be willing to write an Installation guide or an FAQ in the project wiki?

Finally, I have android 1.6 zacpod rom on my gw620. Is there any solution for the dialer?it's so annoying.except from this, 1.6 is awesome!the battery isn't as good as it was in android 1.5... I have a question: Do you know how to remove the annoying unlock screen( says something like press menu button)?

this is what I mean

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kokojojobobo:
Its not gw620.its a google image with the unlock screen on a different android phone.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zacpod:
Amazing!

I'm downloading the new firmware now. Once it's down I'll upload it to my site so people can download it without having to go thru one of those hosting services - I've got loads of bandwidth and am happy to host the file. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Torontonian:
Thanks...just got notice from your Twitter account. When I went to the link, the file downloaded turns out to be only 4.6kb.

I have never flashed a ROM on Android and am understandably nervous about doing so since this is my main phone. Furthermore, I would like to know if there are any features which do not yet work because I cannot afford to use a ROM which does not include GPS, 3G, Maps, Music, and SMS.

Thanks for all your (and Polytheus') hard work on proving LG to be liars. LOL Once up an running on my phone, you guys surely will get a few beers to say the least.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zacpod:
Ya - give it a few mins. I had to re-upload the file, so it's not all there yet. Wait 20 mins and grab it again. It should be around 91mb.

There are things that don't work - mainly the same stuff that doesn't work on the earlier 1.6 image. Mainly:

-Minor SMS issues around length (afaik - I haven't tried yet)

-Incoming call display garbles the name (the ph# is ok) if not in your contacts

-GPS doesn't work, which sucks since Google Navigation will finally work otherwise.

For the most part it's an amazing feat! There's bits in there from tolemaC, and myself, especially in the boot.img, but most of the tough stuff was done by Polytheus.

You can see a full list of bugs on the project page
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Torontonian:

If you need music so much, wait. There's no volume control (not only music, every kind of volume is stuck at the maximum), headphones are not detected, you could have battery issues with 3g enabled, etc etc.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] youx72:
Wow, got it installed, and I have to say...

This Thing is freaking SMOOOOOTH. I can't believe there is such a difference with 1.5/1.6, everything feels so much more responsive.

Oh and the keyboard was fine for me now by default! (fr/AZERTY). And google goggles does not crash (although I haven't been able to use it hehe, it takes a pictures and then nothing ^^)

Of course there are still quite a few quirks as said before :

- music/volumes/headphones

- wifi does not connect here (WEP)

- gps does not work

- some image displaying issues too

- camera does not work

But there is No. Way. In. Hell I'm going back to my crawling 1.6

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Aimevous:
Maybe you can try and google harder.

I was in your shoes just earlier this morning and managed to find all the files (incl. the v10g firmware and everything else that is needed)

I've successfully flashed my phone to 2.1 but because I can't make calls out or send sms out, I downgraded to 1.6. Similarly the instructions were found online.

If you have no idea what to do, you probably aren't ready to experiment with such procedures.

Best regards.

Downgrade/Change LG FW

1) Make backup:

- Follow Zac`s Nandroid guide http://www.zacpod.com/p/71

2) Factory Reset:

1a. Enter "3854#*620" using Dail pad (Stock LG 1.5)

or

1b. Enter "3854#*5200" using Dail pad (Korean LG 1.6)

2. "Factory Reset" on Hidden Menu

3) To upgrade firmware follow this:

- You will need LG-Utils (See attach)

- You will need V10D_00.kdz

- You will need B2CAppSetup.exe (See attach)

- You will need USB modem drivers (see attach)

- Phone must be in "Modem Mode" not "Debug" or "Massive Memory"

(Don`t know how in English, I use Latvian interface). Just disable Debug and Memory (Under SD and Phone memory)

-- From LG-Utils directory, run KP500-Utils-EN.exe

1. Run KP500-Utils-EN.exe (from LG-Utils).

2. Choose "I – Extract files from a KDZ file".

3. Enter the path of your .kdz file, it will produce a cab file in the same directory.

4. Run KP500-Utils-EN.exe (from LG-Utils).

5. Choose "J – Flash with assistant (file .cab)".

6. Enter phone model "GW620".

7. Enter path to your newly created .cab file.

8. Enter new software version (e.g. "V10D_00").

9. The LG flasher will be launched and should connect to the phone and do the job (it will reboot a time or two and go into emergency mode, so don’t panic if you see this).

To get in fastboot:

1. Remove battery.

2. Open keyboard

3. Plug in USB (with battery removed)

5. When display lights on, press SPACE+MENU till Fastboot text shows on display.

- If you mess up, unplug USB and try again from Step 3.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Bear6009:
Cheers for that brother! In my comment i was refering to not being able to use fastboot in my CURRENT firmware (v10e). But I will need to get fastboot working non the less, and you just saved me a lot of google digging! :)

That defiantly helps!

Thanks

2.2 Froyo

Found a guy here that's running 2.2 on the LG,

but has RILd problems, but he's running an older kernel it seems.

Maybe your efforts could be united to get a decent 2.2 running? As it seems you guys are running 2.1 with a recent kernel and pretty much all the hardware is supported.

It seems that the hardware support is exactly what's missing in this guy's 2.2 build...

Hi guys... I want to try this new 2.1 version, but first I wanted to make a backup of my current rom / applications.

So I downloaded ubuntu live cd.. and sucessfully booted. Anyone willing to quickly resume all that I will need (drivers, etc) to make a sucessfull nandroid backup?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zacpod:
All the info you need is here. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Grank:
Actually, not necessarily alllll the info...

One of the reasons I'm not helping test yet is that I still can't get adb to identify the usb device in question as an android phone in my ubuntu VM. I think VirtualBox must be passing the USB connection through properly as I see the correct vendor ID and product ID in lsusb, but adb still says "device not found". I've tried adding some udev rules, but no matter what I try I can't get it to name the device nor have adb pick it up.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong on that front? Zacpod, these are your instructions that specifically mention Linux, what distro are you using? Is there a step-by-step guide somewhere to get a GW620 recognized by adb on Linux in the first place? (and if so, can you link to it at the top of the post you consider to be all the info one would need? ;))
