GW820 Custom Rom

---

Hi,

For those who don't fear to brick their phone, you can try this custom rom (v11) I've just made
As of now, nothing special with it, I just added Pim Backup, only to test the kitchen, so really no reason to flash it except to confirm whether it works or not. If you want to test it, use the stock rom in this thread (thanks Dark9781) to extract the files into programsdata\LGMOBILEAX folder and then replace phone\GW820-V10d-OCT-27-2009+0.dz with mine (giving it the same name).
Once again, I can't insist enough on the fact that this is experimental for now (for this test rom, I did some rebuild stuff manually, I don't know if it works). Once the tools are proved to be stable, I'll release a updated kitchen for you to play (it might take a week or so to finalize the tools, maybe less).

if u can free up rom and ram i will like to test for u. i hate only having 70% free on reset opera 10 crashes on my phone

Downloading it now. I will post to let you know if it works after I flash it.

Just tried to flash the test rom, but it keeps causing the flasher program to crash before 4%.

damn i was just about to try, dark are you on windows 7 or xp?

I ran it on windows 7. I'm going to try it on xp now and will post the results.

UPDATE: Crashes on xp too.

Thanks for the test, Dark9781.
When you say it's crashing before 4%, what does that mean exactly ? Does is start to flash anything on your phone ? Are the 1st percents only decidacted to do checks on the file ? Do you have a log file ?
Did you try to download the rom a second time to be sure it was not a bad download ? I'm downloading it myself to check if my upload was good (I remember the 1st Incite tests were failing because of errors on upload, that's why the following tests were 7z, I'll do that on the next tests).
Also did you try to extract the stock v10d with dzdecrypt and pack it with dzcreate using another version name (-vTEST_ROM) (just to be sure it's not due to the name and/or the tools).
Sorry for all these questions but it's just to narrow the search.

Well, the first 4% is just a check of the rom and it is failing causing the flasher program to crash. I'm going to try and download it again to see if it was the download. I didn't try dzdecrypt to take the stock rom apart and dzcreate to put it back together, but I'll try that too.

I used dzdecrypt and dzcreate to deconstruct and reconstruct the stock rom and it flashed fine. I downloaded the test rom again and again the flasher crashes. The message I get is 3GQCT_SP_STARTER MFC (a bunch of weird symbols) stopped working. The log I posted on the last post was the wrong log. It was for another install that failed on me so please ignore that. The flasher didn't create a log for the flasher crashing.

Ok, after a check, it seems that there was a problem during upload (i've found a string "n: close cache-control" in the middle of the uploaded dz file that was not on my version).
I'm reuploading it right now, let's hope it will be fine this time.
