[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] BakedGoodsX:
Thank you for your quick reply.

I actually have contacted Rogers (my SIM provider) they've given me a PUK code--it didn't work. I then got a new SIM card with a new PUK--still didn't work.

If the phone is some how hung up, and no code will get past that error, do you think re-flashing the Telus firmware might work? Or maybe I could try a different country (same region) firmware (ie. mexico)?

Thoughts?

EDIT: Tried the re-flash, same PUK problem. I'm guessing I can't flash a e900h to EURO OPEN without bricking the phone, right?
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] xson:
I got the same problem
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] zwwel:
Follow the instructions exactly as stated, you'll remove Mango and go back to the previous version. I just finished doing that and it works 100%. One note, no need to put USB to 1.1. If you have to do that, the problem is with your USB cable. Get another one and save some pain, no need to changing USB ports to pre-historic speed!
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] xson:
are you do it in Win XP?
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] xson:
I finally did it...

I think is Vol Down + PWR + CAM is the most important part
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] zwwel:
I know you sorted out your issue but I'll reply nevertheless. No, I did it on 7 64-bit Enterprise edition. I connected the phone by USB directly to the PC - i.e. no hubs on the way. It worked without an issue. Again, if you have a problem blame your cable, and just source a new one.

please help... mine just sits there saying all ports are idle, how long should i wait?

in device manager it says LG CDMA Modem, is that wrong?
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] nerlim:
After debraniz my lg tim with the firmware europe,

I connected to the Zune and says that the terminal is updated.

The version is 7004.

Can you help?:confused:
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Sandwiches:
can anyone help me? this is extremely frustrating.

it just sits there saying idle on all ports? what am i doing wrong?
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] borich:
are you using 7 or xp? If you are using the first one, you should use all program as administrator.
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Sandwiches:
doesnt make any difference. all ports just sit there saying idle.

i'm not sure that's even relevant anyway as the only user account i have is an admin account, so i shouldn't have to run anything as admin.
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] borich:
i said that because i had the same problem. The solution was use the "run as administrator" option.

Anyway you follow literally the guide?
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Sandwiches:
sorted it thanks :)
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] borich:
problem solved?

if not yet, did you set usb switching?
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Sandwiches:
yeah solved. everything was set correctly, i just wasnt doing it in the right order.

as soon as i plug the phone into usb whilst its in emergency download mode it works fine, before i was clicking start on the lgdp2 whilst it was already plugged in - this does not work.
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] bingobongo123:
Just an assumption... I flashed (right after buying) the Open firmware and seems to work fine. But the battery lasts (when phone is completely idle, wlan/BT/feedback/etc switched off, airplane mode) only one day :(

I read reports about users having even two days with some average usage. I simply charge the phone fully and then I let it on the desk for 2 days (I don't use it for now at all).

Is it possible that the Open firmware has a bug that drains the battery faster than other firmwares?

If I flash now a Vodafone firmware, I'll wipe the phone? Or it can be done as an "update" without losing my current apps/setup of the phone?
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Sandwiches:
if you flash a voda firmware it'll be a complete wipe, back to factory settings. in fact this is the favoured way of removing mango beta, just flash a new firmware, no faffing!
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] GolfVR6:
What's the difference between the Europe Open firmware and these ones like "France", "Spain", "Germany" et al?

Are they branded to a single operator like the "Orange France", "Telefonica Spain" or "Vodafone Germany", or are they "clean" as the Europe Open one?

Thanks
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] borich:
They are clean like eu opn, but the language set by default is different. Probably they have also optimizations for local operator but i'm not sure.

In 2 words is a firmware made for give an open device in those market. Infact without these fw, all the open device will be opn eu and the local distributor may have problem to give warranty service.

Hi All

My 2nd hand Optimus was an unlocked Orange UK phone, but, typical of UK carriers it has all kinds of Orange apps on it, so I have decided to have a go at resetting the ROM as if I had bought an Unlocked Sim Free phone, I wish to use a Virgin Mobile UK SIM Card.

This instructions and questions on here are really great and helpfuly, but Im a bit nervous of doing this, so:

I downloaded the:

UNITED KINGDOM LG-E900AT-00-V10a-GBR-XXX-FEB-16-2011+0_DZ

Then Downloaded the 4 pieces of software in nasirahmeds instructions, is this right?.

Ive never flashed a ROM before, so is there any other guidance you can give me, Such as the LG USB driver.. should I use the CA20 or the MA20.. they both look the same. I use Win7x64, but i do have access to a WinXPx86Home Laptop.

Also, I found this:

http://www.lg-phones.org/tutorial-tips-how-to-debrand-lg-optimus-7.html

Is this safe or not?.

Many Thanks

[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] mattbrown:
hi

I too had an orange branded unlocked one, and i used the open europe rom, the instructions are good out there, but the vol and power and cam button is actually the volume down button, and i found best to do that combination then in emergency download mode then connected it to the lg software
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] NightOrchid:
Ok Success!!

Flashed the rom, but used UK ROM, which is a clean OPEN (Bit nervous of using EU Open and configuring).

Both MMS and Bluetooth works great, but Ive now got H (HSPDA), Data & 3g Conn are both on, only have H now.

When I flashed, I followed the tips here, but:

I had ports 8 & 9 (it Used 8), but I found Putting into emergency download, clicking start on software, then plugging in the phone worked for me (In that order)

Cheers

EDIT:

After re-reading this thread, I decided to re-flash to EU OPEN instead of UK OPEN and I can say the phone runs a little faster and smoother under EU, just wanted to add that, in case others were considering UK. I still have "H", I entered Virgin Mobile APN and downloaded "Network Setup" from LG Apps. I now have MMS, Bluetooth and full network tools.

I wanted to add this to back up what the_rider1920 and nasirahmed advised... use either EU Open or your carrier, as you run the risk of slow performance or even bricking it.

Thanks to all on this thread for great and consice posts and questions.

I can't get it to run, my PC set my COM port for the modem to COM85, I can't find it in the LGDP2. Please advise!
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] PieOfJustice:
Actually they are right. I flashed my firmware back to stock when nodo was out. Since upgrading to the Mango beta I can't get Windows to read the device when set to QC Comp.

Anyone solve this yet. This pretty much screws us from installing updates untill it is solved.
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Ineedtoys:
So does that mean that if you're on Mango Beta (7661 or 7712) you can't go back to a stock ROM with LGDP (because it won't connect) or forward to 7720 (because of the driver timeout)?
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] PieOfJustice:
So far it is looking like it if your on the LG E900h. Not sure about the EUR E900.

By keeping all my setting the same on my PC I downgraded via backup of pre Mango. The QC Comp drivers kicked in right away allowing to flash further down to 7.004. Upgrading back to Mango Beta disables the QC Comp drivers once again.

Upgrading to Mango RTM also breaks QC Comp drivers meaning unless we have a backup of pre-Mango we can never upgrade or downgrade via this method.
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] GolfVR6:
So I'm screwed.

I lost my NoDo Restore Point when I uninstalled Zune 4.7 to install the 4.8b and the only backup I have here is from the 7712 :eek:
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] bevoc:
you can actually force qc composit to turn on. just use the emergency download mode (#10 in mfg) i had flashed my phone 3 times from mango rtm.
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] mtb_kng:
I still can't get this to work. I'm unsure of what port to use (I think it's COM4) and once the program is running (everything idle, and I've clicked start) the phone remains in emergency download.... :confused::confused::confused::confused:

Can someone go through the last part step by step.

NVRMIND>>> Got it :P

Just had to plug cable out and plug back in :P haha!

[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Ineedtoys:
That's because the E900 (in common with most other WP7 phones) doesn't have any LED indicator. Apart form the camera flash.

Thanks !

I've tried this yesterday and... it works !!! :D

Thanks a lot for this, bye bye Orange France Rom and future limitations in the Mango rom (no tethering, no visual vocal messaging .. ) :D

So I have now 1.0.2.10 radio FW instead of 1.0.8.10 before with Orange, but I've read new phone firmware will come with Mango, still waiting, two weeks max :)

Thanks again !

[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Skimi:
Hi to all..

I may need some help here, i followed the tuto to install the EUROPE firmware on my e900, everything was going well, but then i get to 17% on LGDP2_V36_UMTS and i get an error...

the phone keeped the "emergency mode" on screen but the PC doesnt detect it... then i tried to rebot it to see if i can get it back to the emergency mode and try again, but now the phone wont boot...

i already removed the battery for some minutes, try to press every possible keys on the phone with no luck...

Is the phone dead? There any way to retry the procedure?

thanks
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] jandevries12:
Hi Skimi.

No, your phone is not dead. Just close the LGDP2_V36_UMTS application on your PC and restart the procedure. If that doesn't work, you can also take the battery out of your phone, re-insert it and restart the procedure.

I know, it sounds scary, but it works.

I had the same problem, with to Optimus 7 phones that I reflashed. It took me about 8 attempts per phone before the flash completed 100%.

The tool should be more fool-proof, I agree; but at least the procedure can be restarted...
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Skimi:
Thanks for your response, but the problem is that i cant get it to emergency mode... the phone doesnt respond to any key nor power or any combination...

The PC doesn't detect it either...
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] la4o:
You can try to reflash without download mode picture on screen

e.g. push download mode butons as described in other posts and connect phone to UMTS... program .Some times this works!
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Skimi:
Thanks for your help but it doesn't work... i dont know what to do more!

I think that is really bricked, windows doesn't detect any device when i connect it to usb.

If someone know how i can revive my phone i appreciate.

Many thanks.

re-flash original rom before sending to repair?

Hi guys,

I bought a TIM-Italy branded LG Optimus 7, and right after buying I changed the firmware to EUROPE OPEN (OPN). I've been happily using it ever since (8 months now), however a few days ago my phone started showing some black lines in the screen, and this means I will have to take it to repair.

I'm just worried that they may refuse to repair it under warranty because of the changed firmware... do you think I should reflash the TIM-Italy firmware before sending it to repair? It is a bit troublesome, but mostly I wouldn't like to factory reset my phone and loose all my setup...

What do you guys think? Anyone in Italy had to send it to repair after flashing a different ROM?

Thanks!

Leo.
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] :
Emergency download mode is volume down + camera (fully pressed) + power. It MUST boot this way
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] lukasgri:
In my Lg E900 with Mango RTM it doesn't work.

Vol down + camera + power = reset the phone.

I'm desesperate because I can't flash my phone for going to Mango final version.
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] mrjetking:
Is it possible to flash just radio / firmware rather than full ROM?

Would be interested in trying some of the different radio / firmware versions as the one I got on Vodafone UK has problems with GPS (1.0.13.10).

Can these be extracted from the ROMs listed, or can someone post them seperately?
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] bobzero:
Can anyone confirm that DZ_LG-E900AT-00-V11d-NLD-XXX-SEP-23-2011+0 included wifi tether?
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Fliptil:
I can confirm that this ROM does contain WIFI tethering. Haven't used it yet (flashed last night) but it is present.

Flashing did not go without a hiccup. I have been trying to get it done with sweaty hands for 3 hours.... First used an older PC with USB 1.1 running XP SP3 (as advised). Everything went OK upto halfway in the flashing process ("Writing WM" I believe it was) and then I got an error: "ErrNum4008 RAM PROGRAM" and it halted. I didn't dare switching the unit off and retried several times. After a few tries the PC did not see the phone anymore. Tried installing the other "LG united modem driver" (there's two of them), no success.... At last removed the battery and restarted again to "Emergency download". After this restart the system did see the phone again and I retried flashing with the same result. Again after a few tries (tried some settings and fiddled about some). Again the system did not see the phone at once.

As a final try I went to my normal system (win7 x64, USB3, all the bells and whistles), removed the battery from the phone and tried the flash from start on the other system. This time everything went smooth and I have a working phone again (in dutch, with tethering etc).

I think I was lucky to be able to restart the phone in emergency download mode after the faulty flash. I'm not going to reflash for the next few weeks I think... :)

Does GPS work properly in the Netherlands firmware (or any of the v11 firmwares)?
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Fliptil:
I will try this evening and respond asap.
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] mrjetking:
Thanks! Don't use the MFG app to test the GPS as this always works (and if used before opening a gps app, that will work too, for a little while on faulty firmwares).

If you could try the GPSInfo app from Marketplace with no other intervention, and post your findings that would be really helpful.
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Fliptil:
The GPS seems to function quite allright... I checked with GPSinfo (one of the two in the marketplace...).

So happy flashing!!

[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] emiliano84:
Hi Guys,

thanks a lot
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] mrjetking:
If your firmware is updated via Zune, then your data is safe unless you disconnect your phone or your pc crashes or whatever.

If you download and flash one of the ROMs from this thread then yes, you'll lose everything thats on your phone unless you've backed it up somehow.

[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] mrjetking:
Well, I know that Vodafone Italy has been getting the 1.0.16.10 firmware so might be just a case of waiting your turn.

I had Vodafone UK firmware today - you could try VOD-GB

Vodafone's firmware is the same across Europe.

Hi,

Can you expand on this alittle - what exactly did you do to get it working (I have the same issue).

Many thanks
[Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] mrjetking:
So far working OK with the following settings:

In Engineer Menu / Device Test / Sensor Test / GPS Test / GPS Setting / System Setting:

URL (Leave the default)

posnode (Leave the default)

2G Loc Estimate

3G Loc Estimate

Use Security (Use Security)

MO Method Control Plane

I also tried it with "No Use" as the Use Security setting and it got locks quicker but these proved to be unreliable and inaccurate over time.

After setting these, go into the GPS Viewer, confirm locks and then reboot the handset. When it is booted up again, GPSInfo confirmed locks and accuracy. I have rebooted several times since yesterday and also tested walking around with the Maps app and all seems fine.

Will test it further today as its still early days...

hi,

i rebranded my phone to VOD-IT and saw the firmware update for the device. i went ahead to update and the backup was done successfully but the update was not successfully installed with the error 8018001e . (i'm coming from firmware 1.0.2.10)

saw on the forum that flashing to the vodafone italy rom solves the problem

so i would like to ask if its possible to first flash the phone with the rom "LG-E900AT-00-V10p-222-10-SEP-02-2011+0_DZ", then apply the backup that was created from the failed firmware update (to get back all the my data) then proceed to try to get the new firmware update with tethering ?

basically i'm asking if its possible to restore a backup from a different rom version . thanks ! (:

It is unlikely that this would work, and it is likely that if it did several stability issues would ensue. At least this is what everyone said to those who suggested such a route with old school WM.

However, if you do try, be sure to report to us, so that everyone else knows that this does indeed work.
