[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Polytheus:
Hey,

I have tracked this error down as well. LG has added one parameter to

the function

com.google.android.mms.pdu.PduParser.parse

which makes it break.

I'm currently working on modifying the framework, but for that you have to resign all jar/apk. It should work in theory, but after resigning core.jar, the phone crashes during boot.

---

Okey got it.

First of all, the jar files under framework/ are not signed at all, so I did not have to resign them.

Then my google apps won't work, but I could fix this by using google apps from the ADP1.

And I learned another thing: Google apps are signed by Google and they can't be resigned,

or they would stop working (they are checking their own signature).

Now I have a working, complete deodexed system with google apps.

From here, it should be easy to make the changes to the framework

by changing the smali files produced by baksmali.

I think this gives far better changes of success than starting the whole aosp rom from scratch.

I have written some scripts to automate the whole procedure of building the image I'm currently running,

and I will share this on my blog in a few days.

Another thing:

I have replaced the Settings.apk and SettingsProvider.apk with those I compiled from codeaurora/donut and this

gives access to VPN settings. I also compiled a new kernel with VPN included. And I get vpn when I run the appropriate commands from commandline, but if I try to active VPN from the Settings menu, the pppd deamon tells me, that there is no PPP support in the kernel. (Which is obviously wrong, because it works from commandline)

And though I'm running the stock Settings.apk, you can't change your APN through the settings, because the "Mobile Settings" is actually in Phone.apk :mad:

Hi, I'm also using bouygues and it was working like a charm for few reboots but now i cant send any sms again. I still have some crashes even with edge only with the wifi (having a korean message and after mms.apk is crashing).

Is it ok for you ? :cool:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ustrucx:
Wow rly nice!! is ur image a fully working image (radio and stuff)? now would be the time to add netfilter into kernel right? :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Polytheus:
Hey,

to get this rolling, I have created a google code project OpenEtna:

http://code.google.com/p/openetna

and I would like to invite all the developers here to join the project.

Just drop me a message with your google account email and I will add you to the developers group.

I have uploaded the first boot.img I created based on zacpods korean v10t boot.img with VPN and Netfilter enabled.

Additionally I uploaded my first system.img based on the same rom which is completely deodexed. It contains the Mms.apk from codeaurora and a fixed Pdu class in framework.jar, so no more crashes with 3G happen on my phone.

Additionally, I have packed the Settings.apk and SettingsProvider.apk from codeaurora. This gives us access to many more languages and settings.

You will have to wipe before flashing this image, but you should consider TitaniumBackup from the market to backup your applications.

I have included TitaniumBackup in the rom to make recovering easier.

There is one problem with the permissions of the su executalbe though, so after flashing this system.img, you should do:

adb shell

$ /system/xbin/su

# chmod 4777 /system/bin/su

# chmod 4777 /system/xbin/su

So that the permissions are right. The permissions somehow get lost during the mkyaffimage.

And for titanium backup to work, you will need to click "Problems?" after it told you that it couldn't aquire root. It will download its own busybox and that one works.

Please report any regressions on the project page under "issues".

I'm currently filling the subversion with the tools I used to create both images.

I hope that this is in the spirit of all the other developers, who have done really good so far!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] giorgio130:
great work Polytheus :)

I've looked through it a bit but couldn't find the system.img, is it still uploading?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dragon Kim:
I just check it out..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Polytheus:
Yeah, i got some problems uploading the system.img, so here it comes:

[TODO this system.img is broken, will upload one today]

ATTENTION: It will only work with the boot.img from the project page, because the wireless.ko have to match the kernel

And the first parts of the boot.img creating scripts are in the project repository.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] trmfreitas:
Cannot access fastboot

Hi

I have firmware 1.5 Portugal v10i and I cannot enter fastboot in order to try the new images.

Is it because of the firmware?

I am restarting the phone and before appearing the LG logo and after the backlight is ON I press space, also tried with menu + space, menu + search, menu + power + space, ....

Was it supposed to work in this firmware?

What can I do in order to have fastboot working?

Thank you
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gunggu:
Yes, its because of the firmware, I suggest you downgrade to V10G instead
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ecaheti:
i've tested the V10T with your mms.apk from previous page, still no sms for.

I'll try your boot.img & system.img, maybe my last hope :)

Even if it doesnt work, thank you for your job!

edit : i've flashed. Still no sms. Also it seem that downloading an app from market crash the market app. I wanted to test Handcent SMS, but impossible to download it. I finally get the Handcent app from my appbackup (done with appmonster), but no progress.

Other points : it's nice to have something else than english and korean language at startup. But the keyboard seems to be in complete korean. That's not a problem for me for the moment.

I will add this to the issue page of the google project.

edit 2 : Polytheus I will be testing your rom all day, prepare to have some issues in google code :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Polytheus:
Thank you for your testing!

I have uploaded the system.img Version 2 here:

http://ul.to/vjoq6x

It should fix the market issue. Unfortunately you must wipe your phone again, because this was caused by a signature issue. I really expect no more/much wipes after that, but I can't promise.

The scripts for generation of boot.img and system.img are in the repository.

I'm still on uploading the kernel, but it always fails in the middle...

And for the keyboard: Go to settings, Text & ..., LG Inputdevice (?), Language. There you can change the language of your keyboard.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ecaheti:
Dont worry for wipe, as im testing i didnt install much thing.

I'll test your v2 tonight.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] giorgio130:
@Polytheus: You could upload also the source for adb modified by zacpod...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dragon Kim:
I've tested V1 image.

I have sent Long SMS to Korean languages.

send : 지금 이건 테스트를 하는 중입니다. 한글로 몇글자나 써질 지 모르겠네요.

receive : 지금 이건 테스◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆?!◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆

I think same symptoms to other Asian languages.

and always Custom firmware is can not switch Korean/English.

sorry. my english is low level.

I always thank you to them.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Ludoz:
Hi Polytheus

I've just installed V2 of your rom and when i want to desactivate the vibration feedback i can't find the menu.

I switched back to zacpod's rom, the menu is present.

The menu is at : Settings/Sound & Display/Vibration Feedback

Thank you for your work
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Ludoz:
After Flashing, you can try to do "fastboot -w". (again)

It works for me.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ecaheti:
ludoz is right, do a fastboot -w after flashing, worked for me also.

But i needed to send sms, so I switched back to 10C.

But i'm ready to flash again for new version, i won't install much app :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] giorgio130:
Guys maybe it's better using the googlecode "Issues" page for these... It's easier to see them, to find a solution, to see their status...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] trmfreitas:
I had to reflash 1.5 using emergency mode and LG Utils and it still did not work.

Then I flashed empty.img from zacpod to userdata and cache and it booted.

Now I believe I can

fastboot -w

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system systemV2.img

and it will work.

(Now I will do a nandroid backup first ... :) )
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] greaves:
Hi :p

a post to tell you that my sms work on zacpod 1.6 rom

I just restored my apn with "apn back up and restore" app and it solved my pb.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Giuvi72:
The problem with sms is 90 characters limitation and conversion in mms after that limit... (for me at least)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] greaves:
yep I know, that's what i mean, i do not have the limitation anymore, and when i exceed 160 characters it goes on a 2nd sms
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sugardad:
I'm toying with my Bro's LG GW620 and I Installed the 1.6 ROM

I know that we can change language with morelocale

but It seems that this ROM has another feature Broken..

With Full sized (slide) keyboard If you selected e.g. Italian Language then by pressing Shift+Space you could toggle between English and Italian Keyboard

This Is no longer functional..... :confused:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] connora:
In v2 rom,as I send chinese sms,receiver still gets unreadable sms.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] levelik:
any news about 2.2 Froyo for GW620?

thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dragon Kim:
here

http://libe.toile-libre.org/
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] giop:
Wow! What a news! Have you tested and it works? It's an English one?

Thank U for your help!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Polytheus:
Hey,

thank you for your testing! Please fill issues at the google project page, so that they can be tracked easily and also communication is easier.

And a request to all that do not have an english keylayout:

The keylayout can be restored when you copy the usr/keylayout/eve_qwerty.kl

from an official rom.

If you have any other keylayout beside english or german, could you then please create an issue at the project page and attach this file, so I can include it in future releases?

Nice to see the community is working a lot :-)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] giop:
Ok can't wait :) so I've flashed it. it is a little slow, but with animations off things get better. Anyway mobile connection isn't working so couldn't make or receive calls...I'm doing anything wrong? Have to do anything special for my operator? I'm in Italy. Thanks.

EDIT: Ok, it seems from what I read in comments that mobile connection isn't working right now...Perhaps would be better to clearly specify it to everyone who reads. You can flash your phone JUST to see 2.2 User Interface, but your phone WILL NOT WORK. Thanks for effort, waiting for news.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] levelik:
thanks, installed it to see how it works/looks and it's a big differance. now i'm waiting to have a full working build. Still great work to Libe :)

L.E.

@ giop - from what Libe wrote it's very clear that only the sd card work :) no other function. you could get them all working but don't expect any major improvements until the build is made with .32 kernel or at least .29.

Test : developers only.

Please be sure to make a complete backup before.

Do not forget a wipe of your userdata partition.

The sdcard is working… Better than nothing
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] giop:
To me would be clear in this way

User Interface working, no calls and SMS available.

Test : developers only.

Please be sure to make a complete backup before.

Do not forget a wipe of your userdata partition.

The sdcard is working… Better than nothing

I think that many people is more curious that technician so would be better to specify that after flashing your phone won't be a phone :) .
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dragon Kim:
No, I Just normal. I can't have risk
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Polytheus:
Hey there,

now everything you need to build the boot.img and systemv2.img from scratch and all by yourself (but very automated :-) ) is in the project repository.

And there is even some documentation in the README.

I think the best thing to do is comparing the baksmali of the korean-v10t (its in the repository) with the one from ca-donut and then write patches against the ca-donut git repository.

Then we can gradually replace the apk's and jar's by those we compiled from the patched source until we have everything in source. And then porting to a 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 or whatever should be much easier, as we have the source then.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Polytheus:
Very nice!!

I hope that I'm fast enough to get userspace working until your kernel is ready ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Cloudscout:
I got my Nexus One over a month ago and have been quite happy with it but I've continued to follow this thread because I'm just fascinated by the progress you guys are making.

I actually brought my GW620 in to LG last week because of the problem where I could no longer flash the device after that failed attempt to flash it to V10K a while back. I got it back yesterday but I'm not sure whether they really did anything with it or not.

I was going to sell it but I might just hold onto it to tinker with once you guys get the 2.1/2.2 images rolling.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sugardad:
If for any reason anyone could not enter the Fastboot Interface after Flashing V10K, Zac's or Poly's

then

1. Remove cables and Battery

2. Insert USB Cable

3. Press Shift+Space

@Polytheus

I will flash v10G and try to play around with eve_qwerty.kl

(My Bro Is very Unpleased with me because now he cannot change on the fly Keyboard Layouts - LoL!)

I will notify you If I have any success! :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lvhomie:
You are very talanted, guys! It`s this like a hobby or you are programmers who only doesn`t have to on holidays?

If I knowed anything in programming, I would helped, but I`m specefed only in PC modding (HW + visual)... and XBOX hacking

Sorry, if some mistakes...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dragon Kim:
I have a news

LG 1.6 firmware will be released July 26.

This firmware will fix the voice search error and minor bug fix.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ecaheti:
nice

where did you get that info?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dragon Kim:
This site(www.show.co.kr)<- Korea site

I saw the date for firmware update 1.6U.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Adam620:
How an we help*?

A kinda lame question, but how can we help (Polytheus & Co. or Maln or ...)?

- without recompiling (the system/boot.img or the kernel)? [many readers here would be glad to help directly from adb or logcat...]

- if we manage to set up a reasonable dev platform, where to start from?

Adam (quite happy with the renewed hope for a 2.x on the otherwise not so bad LG620)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kropbj:
Yeah I'm totally up for helping in anyway I can. I'd love to get deeper into this phone. Have ADB and Logcat fully funtional. Running Zacpod's 1.6 roms at the moment.

Seems smooth enough for daily use other than the caller id issues.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] BENCHENA:
nice tuto thanks !
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lvhomie:
Froyo

If here is Froyo but works only sdcard and GUI. Phone to test Froyo, but cann`t make calls... then it just need port devices hardware (wifi etc.), make GSM work, and it will be totaly functional Froyo???
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dragon Kim:
Sorry. I don't Know.

I'm not programmer.

I just got from Korea GW620 community to provide information to you.

The only thing I can do that's it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zacpod:
Great work getting this image available to people, but please don't get too excited - we've been getting this far since Android 2.0 (look for the posts way back near page 10) Getting the current version of Android booting on the device is easy. Getting the radio (phone+3g+wifi) drivers working is another matter entirely.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] levelik:
zac - what is the difference for the GSM? between 1.6 and 2.2. I seen that libe's build will not go out of airplane mode. so this is one issue that could fix the GSM network.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zacpod:
It won't go out of Airplane mode because the radio drivers don't work.

I'm not sure what the differences are. Unfortunately, rild (the radio driver) is closed-source so we can't compare the LG Version and the aosp version very easily. :s

At best, we can try to get the 1.6 version of rild running in 2.2. I believe that's the approach Polytheus is heading towards.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] levelik:
for the moment i'm stiking with youre version because Polytheus has a bad wi-fi driver that crashes my phone.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dragon Kim:
Sorry.

Gw620 1.6U update news is wrong rumors.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] JulienBlue:
Hey guys,

I'm sorry for this question but i have to admit that i was too lazy to read me trough the 133 pages of this post. I just made it till page 20 or so...

Did you have more succes and is there a possibility now to boot Android 2.0 or further on the LGgw620? I have this phone for a month now and its great but there a some things that would be much easier with 2.x

Thanks a lot for your work!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Grank:
Boot yes use no. No radio. If you only use it as a PDA, maybe, otherwise subscribe to the thread and you'll know when we know ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cwhchew:
you might want to update your LG Updater software to check for new version updates.

I had this LG Updater which kept telling me that there isn't any new firmware updates.

Redownloaded the updater, and now i'm on V10J (android 1.5)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zacpod:
Does fastboot still work on V10J?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cwhchew:
nope. space, menu + space doesn't work.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lvhomie:
I`m living on V10D (becouse of localization for Latvia - APN`s, fully Latvian, Eesti, Lithuanina, Russian translation). Have fastboot (Remove battery -> Hold SPACE -> Plug in USB -> Still hold SPACE till show`s Fastboot msg)

I`m thinking... If WM phones (like Xperia X1) can run Android (at this moment - 2.0.1), can Android phones run WM?

Realy want to try WM
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] levelik:
V10U firmware will be available 26 july.

http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGKH5200/AKTFBQ/V10u_00/V10U_00.kdz

- for the moment:

"Forbidden

Your client is not allowed to access the requested object."

- so probably on 26 or 27 we will have access to download the new firmware.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lvhomie:
I was thinking... if you, guys, get Froyo or any other 2.X working on Eve, then how can I translati it to my local language (even, is it possible???)? I would realy like to localize GW620 to latvian language... I understand english very well (read and get idea from text), but can`t make/formulate good sentences (mostly write stupid sentences and english speaking people thinks: "WTF???")...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] connora:
The translations in former firmwares were so disgusting,I guess LG just used google translation then copy/paste it.

I want to learn how to modify and make my own locale.

HELP

HI,

I installed zac's rom, but now i need to still sim unlock my phone. I havn't found a way to do this yet :(

I have a rogers LG Eve GW620

Please don't tell me my phone is doomed :(

Thanks

EDIT: Sorry if this is the wrong area to post... I'm new. Also I have an unlock code already i just have no place to put it :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lvhomie:
Unlock instruction

1. Find the phone's 15-digit IMEI number by pressing *#06# on the dialer.

2. Submit the IMEI number to the seller to get the unlock code.

3. When you get the unlock code, enter 2945#*620# on the dialer.

4. You are allowed 10 attempts to unlock the phone. Enter the unlock code and when the phone reboots it is unlocked.

To confirm that the phone is unlocked, the next time you enter 2945#*620# on the dialer, the phone will say "Your phone is not personalized."

^^^ Just need to know, what write in search engines...

EDIT: SIM lock is attached to IMEI. Replacing firmware you can`t unlock phone for other network operator SIM`s. IMEI is locked to one network... Just unlock IMEI
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zacpod:
On any of the 1.6 based images the code will be *5200 instead of *620. So dial "2945#*5200#" :)

OK GUYS

Ok guys i suggest to make a bounty fund for those who'll be able to get us a fully working 2.0 or more android version...

this kind of donations makes things happen for real and faster..

What do ya think???? :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cwhchew:
supportive of the idea
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] giorgio130:
+1, even if we're already giving donations... a dev who could make a 2.0-or-more image would surely get money from it, so I don't think it would be so motivating...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Robert Hawley:
Not necessarily a good idea

Bounty for this sort of project is usually counter-productive. It reduces the amount of open collaboration.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] imayoda81:
open source development IS bounty money based.. some competition will heat up the challenge
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lvhomie:
