I decided to partition my disk to avoid the Live cd thing.. using GParted but jesus christ... it took 1h before and now it says its 2h more to finish... fml, The original partition is only 140gb.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zacpod:
You need adb in your path.

You can either symlink it in to your /usr/bin or you can put whatever location it is in in to PATH.

To symlink it in to /usr/bin do something like:

#ln -s /path/to/adb /usr/bin

To put it in your path do something like:

#export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/adb
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] OhHai:
yes, i eventually used the ln -s to usr/bin.. thanks. Im noob when it comes to linux and bash commands.

i think i've made a sucessfull backup (no errors) and Im now running Android 2.1 on my LG :) Wifi wpa working.. market working.. very nice so far! will keep testing :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hne:
2.1 on GW620

Same here. Managed to get the phone running with a MODERN version of Android. Finally!

Have noticed some (known) bugs, though: Browser shows garbled images, volume stuck on max, camera app crashes, not all apps available in market, flight mode not always possible to disable.

Might be new one: Unable to end outgoing call.

I'll have to try reproduce that last one, but so far this is actually a keeper.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] OhHai:
Yeah Im having all those bugs plus: wifi icon stays active but connection is lost after phone returns from standby mode.

Also, did you guys actually managed to get live wallpapers? I installed the .apk mentioned a few pages back, but I cant get the wallpapers to work. I did everything except "change permission". Not sure what you mean.

Btw, do you guys usually login as root or just normal user, on your linux distros?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] JeWy85:
Zacpod

can you tell me how to backup current firmware without fastboot

thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zacpod:
Use LG_Utils 4.1 to downgrade your firmware to one that does have fastboot. There's no way to take a proper backup without it, and not much point in doing so since you can't reimage your phone without it either.

If you just want to backup your data there are apps in the market that will let you do that - but that's just the data, not the firmware. To mess with any of the firmware/images/etc discussed in this thread you really do need fastboot.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] meyssam:
Hi;

any Idea how to downgrade using lg utils and where to get this utility?

I'm really confused now. I really want to get to fastboo.....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Sojiroh:
Just read the thread and you'll find what you need.

God, it's like the 3rd time in a week

See post #1456 for the info you need, including a download link
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] meyssam:
I'm Really sorry man.

Thanks a lot...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Eiles:
I downgraded to V10D_00, used fastboot to flash everything but after the first boot, I have the "Don't Panic" screen, the android logo with the light and then a black screen, any solution ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zacpod:
You need to wipe the handheld.

boot in to fastboot and do a "fastboot -w"

You must have missed that step in the docs...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zacpod:
It sounds like extracting the userdata tarball wiped out a bunch of your linux partition... were you in / when you extracted it?

Those nandroid errors are OK - the MTD errors are a little odd tho...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Eiles:
It worked !

I used your instructions to do it !

Thanks to you and to Polytheus for your great work, you're doing an amazing job with this phone, a lot more than what LG did...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Grank:
I can't remember what my current directory was, though if I had to guess I would say it was /home/grant/Android/.

Also, weirdly enough, I was NOT running with root permissions at the time nor executing tar as a superuser do or anything, so I have no idea how this could have gotten so screwed up.

I had copied and pasted the script's suggested commands for building the img files (our of curiosity, why aren't these actually executed by the script itself?) into a notepad++ window on my guest OS, so I still have them. The line that screwed everything up was

tar x -C /tmp/[I]{I'm redacting the serial number}[/I]-userdata-tmp
-f /home/grant/Android/Backup20100804//userdata.tar

Could it have something to do with the trailing slash in the output path I provided? I don't really get how, as I thought multiple slashes were always treated as one and everything else worked perfectly up to this point, but I don't know what other straws to grasp at!

Disconcerting, yes. Not sure what to do about them. It's happening in the pkg img, not for any of the others; does that help anyone imaginative come up with any inkling of what's going on here? I actually don't know what images handle what, so I don't know the implications of having a screwed up pkg.img if hypothetically all other images were perfect. What would happen to me in that scenario?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tatole:
Hello all,

first thank much for your work :)

so anyone now how boot with fastboot mode with the V10F please ? :/ I can't make backup if I can't boot on fastboot mode

thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zacpod:
Double slashes don't matter... But I think I see the issue... You should run the script as root, or run it with sudo. Otherwise it can't recreate the permissions properly and you'll end up with a quietly corrupted image. "sudo nandroideve.sh"

Oh, the PKG partition is totally unimportant. Only boot, system, userdata, cache, and lgdrm matter, and you should never touch lgdrm... When you restore you just do a wipe then burn on boot, system, and userdata.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Grank:
The reason I didn't execute with sudo in the first place is because sudo on ubuntu is built --with-secure-path, which means as soon as I sudo, it ignores my PATH variable, and my fastboot and adb can't be found. This is really friggin annoying, especially since sudo echo $PATH gives the correct output, it just doesn't actually WORK. :P

However, symlinking adb and fastboot to the bin folder might do the trick actually. I will try that asap. Thanks!

...Still doesn't make any sense that tar destroyed my VHD though. *shrug*
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Grank:
Well that worked a little better...

I see that the script DOES actually create img files from the tarball, except when it doesn't have permission to do so. Heh. Oops.

It also didn't obliterate my VM either ;)

Unfortunately I still experienced the ECC errors. :(

Since they're only in pkg, and you say pkg doesn't matter, I'm not going to worry about it.

Is there any way to test a nandroid backup though?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Eiles:
I still have some problems with 2.1...

3G works and I can receive SMS but can't send them. If I try to make a call, I can't hear anything or hang up, I have to remove the battery.

Apparently, the microphone is disabled, the phone says so when I try to launch an application using it (Guitar Tuner in this case).

Any way to solve these problems or a link to the original 1.5 ROM?

EDIT : Back on 1.5, 2.1 is fast but still too buggy for the moment ( at least for me), I'll wait for a "stable" release.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] OhHai:
So guys... Im trying to go back to 1.5 or 1.6.. the problem is that I get into fastboot but cant flash the boot.img.

I keep getting this error:

I've tried fastboot -w, erase boot, nothing works, i've tried Zacpod's 1.6T boot... my Nandroid boot... nothing works. Any tips?

I can flash the 2.1 boot tho... it must be something im doing wrong, right? Sorry
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] giorgio130:
JIT!!

Good news :)

I've ported Froyo's dalvik to our Eclair, and (hopefully) JIT. I'm not yet sure it's enabled, but I get 3.3 MFLOPS in linpack (VS 2.2 previously) and in general the phone seems much more responsive. Nice! As soon as I'm sure it's stable i'll make sure the changes are committed :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dragon Kim:
First, We appreciate Polytheus who made a 2.1 firmware.

I represent us, 1400 GW620 users in Korea.

We are so happy, because you made up 2.1 firmware.

But, it has one problem.

The problem is, it can't change English-Korean when using the qwerty keypad.

The existing LG 1.6T firmware could change possible to push alt + left key.

But, your's 2.1 firmware impossible change the English-Korean it.

Also, Zac's 1.6T firmware can't do it. either.

Maybe I think that you know the answer this problem, please tell us.

1400 GW620 users in Korea so wonder about that.

And I heard a new rumor.

LG may release the 2.1 firmware At the end of September or early August.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cwhchew:
LG has confirmed that they will only release 1.6 for the LG Eve.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AlkaYoda:

Hope we will have soon a full functional Eclair

Hmm, my korean is not too good, but i think V10U firmware is a minor update to solve google voice search issue (I've posted a solution two or three days ago) and that it's based on 1.6 android OS.

Hi Guys

Sry for my bad englisch but i´m from germany.

I´ve got a big problem.

I´m flashing my lg gw 620 to systemv4.1, after flashing i became the "dont panic" screen and than my lg get off. So i flash with fastboot -w. the same.

So i flash fastboot -w, fastboot bootimage und again systemv4.1 -> the same.

So i flashed all again. Now my lg get on und instant get off.

All fastboot flashes can not change this now.

What make i wrong?

Please help me fast, because this my only mobilephone :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] giorgio130:
I think it's an hardware problem?

Does nandroid work? If you do "fastboot boot everecovery01a.img" does it still get off?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] OhHai:
No ones knows what could be wrong here?

This happens If I try to flash old boot.img. Or when I follow Zacpods instructions for the Nandroid restore (after loading the nandroid image and doing the cat procedures).

I can also flash sucessfully the 2.1 boot. But everytime I try to flash another version I get that error. Please help.

Heres the mount output of my phone.. not sure if its helpfull:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] GrazyNeo:
I´m so stupid. i flashed yesterday evening the first time. And i take the battery in the phone. So the battery just was empty. :(

Redownload the boot.img. It sounds like the one you have is corrupt.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] giorgio130:
http://uploaded.to/file/vigayq

link to the JIT-enabled system.img.

It should work as expected, at least not worse than the systemV4.1, the performance is great. However I don't take any responsibilities whatsoever to what it could do to your device. Flash at your risk. If you find apps that work with normal eclair and don't with this one, be sure to report it to the project page!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] OhHai:
Hi Zac,

I've tried with a fresh download from your rom 1.6T and it didnt work. My Nandroid backup also didnt. Dont know what else to try.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] OhHai:
Here's my latest attempt:

Could it be a size thing? Cause I notice the 2.1 boot.img is alot smaller... and Zac's, Tolerom's, my 2.1 Nandroid are all exactly 7040KB,

Please help.. kind of stuck here.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ssa193:
Hi Giorgio...

Have u try this system.img?

What boot.img for this system?

Can still using boot.img from polytheus?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zacpod:
The size difference is because the nandroid roms are byte-by-byte copies of the flash, where the 2.1 rom is an extract + rebuild of the filesystem + kernel contained in the rom. Basically, the larger roms have a bunch of filler since they just raw-copy the memory.

Try grabbing unpack.pl and repack.pl from here. Read the post to make sure you understand. First unpack the boot.img, then repack it. You'll end up with a smaller file that has all the same info. If you can flash the 2.1 boot.img then you should be able to flash a repack of any other boot.img.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] OhHai:
Worked, thanks. Running your 1.6T atm. Any idea why this is happening tho?

Edit: also, is it normal that camera doesnt work on your 1.6T too? It reboots my phone like in eclair,
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Sojiroh:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Grank:
If it scales similarly to the way the Nexus One did, which went from 6.5 MFLOPS on 2.1 to 37.5 MFLOPS on 2.2, we might approach like 10 MFLOPS on this phone if we get everything in place and working enough to do some optimizations ;)

I extracted the names and phone numbers from the sqlite database from my backup (don't wanna give google all my phone numbers that easily!) and translated them to a .vcf that I was able to import from the SD card. Nice.

If only outgoing calls (and possibly lowering in-call volume) would work...

Might have to revert back to 1.5/6 if we don't get calls to work properly soon. As far as my understanding goes, there is something fishy with different storage capacities on the SIM cards. How would I/we debug this?
