-if something fails dont panic, you can boot device in emergency mode and try to reflash again.
emergency mode: make sure usb is pluged, turn off device and press "send" and "browser" button

-it's highly recomended to not keep your personal settings - set NV backup/restore to "Reset database & Contents"

-hardreset before flash is good choice

More information shoul be found in service manual

As far as I know there is no KS20 usb driver at this time, but it is only matter of time when somebody get one (I hope)

So answer to your second question is no - unless somebody found this drivers.

As you can see this is very different way to reflash devices from htc solutions.. We must be patient.

[john_locke]

well, let's then hope someone founds these drivers. I've searched the internet, but no luck......I've looked in the service manual which is really great with so much infos about the KS20 and there it is written that you definetaly need the KS20 USB Driver and not the normal LG USB Driver.

Hello,

has someone found the required lg usb driver for flashing the ks20?
And what about the advantages of a newer rom?
My device has a rom version 10b. The rom posted in another forum is version 10e. What are your rom versions? I'm especially interested in a bug fix for the directdraw problems for which the most nice applications do not work. (PointUI and so on). It would be interesting to know if there's someone who has a newer device where this problem would be fixed??

[nstamoul]

+1 on the directdraw bug.

Another question is wheather the flashed device will be branded or not.I suppose it really depends on the rom one uses to flash it.In Greece there is atm only a Vodafone branded device available and I would love to unbrand it using a rom from LG Greece.

[oussbaba]

hi,
someone has found the correct driver? i really want to flash it with a lite rom

[kasper747]

Maybe it is bossible to make some physikal adapter to connect it to COM-Port?Or use the Bluetooth COM-Port?

[boysana]

Hey guys I think the consensus is that all we still need is the usb modem drivers, where would we find them? From an LG service centre? Who do we all have to sleep with ?
I will have another read of the service manual but whoever found that surely would have the contact for the usb drivers?
