LG GW620 Development/Kernel hacking (Have LG source mods + trying to get 2.0 working)

[sad_but_cool1]

Hey,
I've been having major issues with my Eve. More details can be seen in the openetna forum under Issues/LG Eve will not turn on (I can't post the link as I'm a new user).

The guys at openetna have been trying to help me out, I was running their latest official release when the problem started.

The quick and dirty; my phone will not turn on except in emergency mode. Computer can detect the phone but using different LG utilities I have not been able to flash. When I connect and don't force emergency the phone is still detected and drivers are loaded but the backlight does not turn on and flashing still fails.

Hopefully someone on here might have some insight into my problem.

Thanks.

BTW; I have tried downloading the "eve debrick" torrent but there are no seeders.

Guys tell me, how in the Korean firmware 1,6 (KH5200) to add the Russian language in the SMS. that would not come to trash the recipient. Morelocale 2 does not help, installing third-party SMS programs, too, has no effect
And how to change the system name on the phone with KH5200 GW620

I tried using "adb root" but it won't run as root on a production device.

 

[neok]

so the official 2.2 firmware has some features OE does not have(bluetooth and fm radio). it has limitations EO does not have (setcpu).

so i guess you guys are going to ask lg for the source, can't wait for new developments

 

[Grank]

I hope someone's put that GPL request in... I know there are a few on this forum that are already set up with LG to do so. It would be great to integrate the official 2.2's changes into OE, as the youtube of the 5200 running 2.2 looks about 1200 light years faster than my OE eve... performance improvement is my number one priority with this ROM, as even overclocked sometimes it lags so much I have trouble answering calls before they go to voicemail :S

URGENT HELP!

i figured this might be relevant to this thread since its regarding the korean 2.2 update. also i must state im a bit of a noob at this stuff, all i can do is follow instructions.

i installed the update using the lg utils method (lg-phones.org/how-to-flash-lg-eve-etna-gw620.html) and it went smoothly. the only problems (outside annoying little bugs like a korean text warning when wifi turns off) were that the camera flash didnt work, and sms were automatically turned into mms after 90 characters (something i think is just to do with the app).

but then yesterday morning my sms messaging service went completely bonkers. my dad received a couple of my text messages, but then from then on could not receive or even send me anything. i have this same problem with some other people, while some people receive my texts as an unknown number and so cant reply, while a couple receive and send texts fine. this has pretty much crippled my phone as i mainly use sms.

i have no idea what to do. i tried reinstalling the update to no avail, tried resetting to factory settings, and even a vain attempt to downgrade the software. is there anyone who knows how i can fix this, even if it means i go all the way back to software version 10b. i see that lg have released kernal info or something about android 2.2 (the post above me). is that something to do with upgrading the phone to 2.2 and can i replace the korean software with that one?

I think the Recovery Flasher uses asroot2, and this is a pretty new device, so no surprise that they've fixed that hole.

I tried using "adb root" but it won't run as root on a production device.

Cant' get connected in fastboot

I am searching for 3 days now. But i can't find it.

When I'm in fastboot windows asks for a driver... wich do i need to instal
- adb
- bootloader
...

Or do i need an other driver because i want to flash an amonra as recovery?

Please help

will this work for gw620?

 

[partha06]

I might be way out to lunch here, but let me muse out loud:
Apparently the MBN file format is just a standard flash BIN file that's been renamed. The M probably, as you mentioned, points out that it's been encrypted and signed. It would be worth it, though, to create a standard BIN file and rename it to MBN and see if somehow we can make the phone accept it without the LG signing...

Do not use the official update!
You loose the possibility to go back or fastboot.
If you want to upgrade, just do it with fastboot and .h.t.t.p._././. openetna.mayix.net/n2k1/firmware/FroyoDump/
Or if you want to upgrade full, so use .h.t.t.p._././. openetna.mayix.net/n2k1/firmware/WayBack/
Both will save your fastboot.
First version will save your old AMSS so you can back to V10..
