Question about LG KP500 (Cookie)-flashing to Windows Mobile 6.x

[redplate]

Hello my friends i have a little, hopefully simple question and i dont know how to answer it^^

Why i cant flash the mobile phone LG KP500, called 'Cookie' to Windows Mobile 6.x?

Is there no way to flash a different rom to this device?

i dont know much about the processor architecture of the "Cookie" but in my opinion it's a touchscreen-enabled phone like for excample the Samsung Omnia i900..

might anybody feels able to explain me whats the different between this two devices "Cookie" and for excample the "Omnia" and why it's not able to flash it.

thanks in advance

i guess because the roms are device specific. You cant just flash a rom for a diamond on a kaiser either. Maybe with some luck you can flash android in the future when lg throws some android phones on the market.

you should have invested a bit more money and get yourself the ks20 from lg. This has winmo 6.x installed (and wlan and gps)...

You can't actually flash it as LG in most of its new devices uses the "S-Class" (as its called), interface-software,limitating the customer to do anything with it.

Can u type using ur keypad, the following

1809*#500#

and tell me on ur SW and HW version menu, what's its actually SW and HW version?

You can flash a Windows Mobile device with a Windows Mobile ROM or Android.
You cannot flash a Windows Mobile ROM to just any LG or other phones which run on their own OS. Like iphone OS ROM cannot be flashed to WinMo devices.

@B3ler3fonte

the right command is 1809#*500#

after typing in the command i choosed the entry "version" from a submenu.

i've got the following info:

ikp500xx-00-v10e-xxx-xxx-jun-22-2009

Sorry for my late reply mate. Yeah, i mixed it up a bit with * # signs But as far as i saw, u found ur way . Notice that this code is only for internal purposes testing and so on, so consider that u have full acess to ur phone now and u can even hard/soft reset ur device, through the appropriate menu.

Anyway, yeah 10e is the SW version, but still, i think there are another two SW updates available already online, so i sugeest u, to install LG Pc Suite that was included in the box and seach for those and flash ur device accordingly

Any news about flashing WM onto the cookie? I would like to change the operating system of my wife's mobile phone if possible.
