fastboot has to be run as root under linux. Just place a "sudo" before each
fastboot command.

Comment by grant.bowering:

This wiki needs an update for s4.2/b1.3. Maybe just in the ROM links.
Also, is the replacement music.apk still necessary? If so, this page
should talk about how to do that as well.

Comment by leonardo.frazao:

Where can I get the latest release of the ROM? Is there any chance of
building a 2.2 ROM?

[open...@googlecode.com]

Comment by polytheus:

The latest release of the rom is available in the xda-developer forums, but
the next will be uploaded on that project page.

We will go for 2.2 (or higher) when we have all devices (like bluetooth,
sensors, gps, graphics) working.

The part where it says "enter adb shell" .. I first thought it was from the
terminal on the phone. Last I checked, Windows doesn't have a pathname like
that ;-)

In CMD change directory to "X:\sdk\tools" (in cmd write "cd C:\sdk\tools")

The software that LG made available for my KH5200 was no good. It crashed
constantly and was slow. Let me say, that this runs like a charm on my
KH5200. You can't believe the imrovements all around. It is usable
again. I will be paying close attention to your website in the future and
will make a donation. FOr me, the absence of the google apps is a
bonus!! :)

Ok, I am not as intuitive as i thought. I am stuck. How do I use fastboot?
Is it in the adb shell? can i have just a little more detail on how this
works please

Comment by boyd111c:

Since this is the only place with people using gw620 phones, I need help.

In order to downgrade my phone I need to use KP500-Utils-EN.exe with
V10G_00.cab or V10D_00.cab

When I run this probably it kicks my phone off after 4% of installing and
says my phone is not connected. Also when I Use PC Suite 3, I cant use any
of the syncing or backup functions because it says my phone is not
connected. How do I get the LG programs to work properly and recognize my
phone.

http://imgur.com/ltXHo.png

someone suggested changing a file \LG Electronics\LG PC Suite
III\res\Phoneinfo.ini
adding a line
GW620=Sync,Contact,Contents,Message,Backup,Music,AAS,Java,ITK,VP,AutoRun
That didnt work. I have tried multiple USB ports on 2 different computers,
I have all the drivers installed to and i even tried it with factory
resetting my phone.

Hopefully someone has encountered this because I cant even get fastboot
until I downgrade.

@louis

restart your device and try again. fastboot sometimes is not able to flash
too many img at one go

Comment by bmanhas:

I was able to get ADB going on a Windows 7 based computer. The weird thing
was that it was showing 5 LG USB Modems in Device manager. ONce I force
fed the SDK driver to each of them, ADB recognized the device. Did the two
permission changes and then put in google apps as well as updated the
keyboard and everything works great.

I'm assuming that this one does not support bluetooth correct?

Also, what is WIFI tethering?

[open...@googlecode.com]

Comment by bmanhas:

Oh and once I got google apps in, the Calendar works perfectly too.

after plugging in usb connector there is a picture telling me to close the

[iFK FedosIS]

follow this.
1. remove battary
2. open keyboard
3. plug-in the usb connector
4. after few moments press space+menu
5. phone should enter fastboot

some of firmware hasn't fastboot mode, so you should reflash your
phone using LG utils.

2dornellasjr: Two comments above yours, dnaproject suggested fastboot -w.
It will wipe all your personal information, you should make a backup
previously. After that, it will work.

Comment by Tetsuo6995:

Btw why is ADB shown as a requirement to install Open Etna ?
You don't really need it right ?

It's handy when you want to do some logcat or other peculiar things.

Find a good alternative :-) Maybe we should host such file somewhere secure.

i'm uploading the kdz file to dropbox.

if its broken again, i will then upload it to openetna's server. i just hope the bandwidth usage doesn't hit sky high.

i wonder if zacpod would be willing to host the file for us

Hello,
I can't have GPS with last version. Can I do somethink in order to activate

Thank you and congratulation for your work.

[open...@googlecode.com]

Comment by latarquina:

[open...@googlecode.com]

Comment by latarquina:

I must report that, after several tests, installing, uninstalling both
images (last boot.img and systemV6.0-rc5.7z), the GPS starts working. I do
not know why. Perhaps because the last time I ran the fastboot as root /
admin, is this possible?

In any case, thank you very much for your work.

[open...@googlecode.com]

Comment by Tetsuo6995:

I don't think it's related to the way you used fastboot. I recommend you
always flash as root with fastboot. Safer in my opinion.

For the GPS, it depends a lot of where you are when you try the GPS. It's
possible that the GPS in last version is quite slow to determine your
position. I think you just had bad luck getting some sattelites signals on
the first flash and got more lucky after some attempts.

Do you have 3G and 3G+ working properly ?
Apparently AGPS (Assisted GPS) use 3G to get some data. So the GPS can be
slow if the 3G isn't working properly.
That even means that some missing APN's could mess up with the GPS
efficiency.

Comment by bsmith.kwic:

Finally got it installed, other then the bluetooth and video camera not
working to bad
is it not possible to select your own ring tones in this version?
all i get is a list of ringtones, with no option to select my own

[open...@googlecode.com]

Comment by oldmike:

Same problem here with the ringtones, bsmith.kwic.

There's a workaround that involves copying your tone to the
/system/media/tones (or something similar), but you will have to do it
using ADB remount (as the system partition is readonly, I believe).

[open...@googlecode.com]

Comment by cwhchew:

why not just install rings extended ? LG used this on 1.5 too

[open...@googlecode.com]

Comment by saxando4u:

I think rings extended is proprietary. You can choose your own ringtone
playing it, then click the menu button and choose "set as ringtone".

Comment by dnaproject:

@saxando4u - regarding the camera issue, should I try to install V10G? do
you think it could work?

also regarding that, if someone could upload the V10G file I would
apreciate it.

[open...@googlecode.com]

Comment by latarquina:

The problem on GPS was that the little icon didn’t appear. I discover that
it is necessary to unselect then select (one time) the Use GPS Satellites
option in settings-> location &security settings, then GPS feature works
fine.

When you shutdown the phone, next time you power on the machine, you must
do the same operation in order to have GPS.

I think the problem, at least on my GW620 phone is a little bug: first
time you will use GPS, the application (maps, my location, ndrive, etc…)
send an order that didn’t arrives to GPS app (apparently on by default when
you starts a new session). But if you switch off and then on the above
mentioned option, the GPS really remains on.

I do another test: I power on the phone, switch off and then on the GPS
option (before running any GPS based application), then ran Maps: the
little icon, doesn’t works. But if I close Maps, then I switch another time
off and then on the GPS option, when I restart Maps, then GPS works fine.

I have all time a good sky look, and a good 3G connection.

Cheers

the system image fails always with flash write failure. It manages an okay
with sending the system image. The boot image write is fine. I have read
above discussions, done fastboot -w and followed rebooting and trying from
scratch. I have now tried multiple times. Help please.

He had to do the 3 commands (-w, boot, system) with a reboot between each

Maybe you could try that.

Comment by philgillam:

@syellam: make sure you use 7zip to unzip the image. I first tried winzip
and winrar, all unzipped ok, but the checksum was wrong and I got a flash
write failure. The boot image is already an .img file so no problems.

Comment by matth3w21:

Hi all! I am ready to install v6.0rc5 in my gw620, but I have some
questions.

Does the wifi, the bluetooth and gps works right? Have anyone tried app2sd?
Also, I have found some apps which need 2.x android versions, will those
apps work if I install that rom? Does the battery lasts 1 day? Finally if I
decide to downgrade to 1.5 again, will I be able to?

Thanks in advance! :)

[open...@googlecode.com]

Comment by oldmike:

- WiFi and GPS work, bluetooth don't.
- About App2SD, no idea.
- Apps designed for Android 2.x would work (the phone is identified as a
Nexus One).
- Battery duration depends on what you use. With no services running (WiFi,
Bluetooth, GPS, AutoSync, ADB) and low brightness, my phone has drained
only 25% battery in the last 36 hours.
- You will be able to downgrade, but you will have to read how to do it. In
fact, you can use NANDROID to backup your current system image and restore
it if you don't like something about openEtna.

[open...@googlecode.com]

Comment by matth3w21:

Thanks Mike! I'm glad to hear that wifi and gps work :) I don't use
bluetooth anymore so it would be no problem. Now with some use (half an
hour wifi approx., one hour calls and some radio/mp3 playback the battery
lasts one day, so I guess there will be no problem. If anyone has tried
app2sd pls tell me if it works :)

Again, thanks for the quick reply!

[open...@googlecode.com]

Comment by philgillam:

@bsmith.kwic: not sure what checksum is supposed to be, but even though
winrar and winzip12 unpacked the file systemV6.0-rc5.7z, something munged
it as it wouldnt flash without write failed. As soon as I used 7zip and
flashed the same image, all was happy.

@The.Bobas: In my limited experience this is caused the by
gapps-mdpi-20100930-signed.zip being corrupt or the sdcard having errors
and stopping the zip file being read. Flash your phone, get a 2Gb different
sdcard, format it, copy gapps-mdpi-20100930-signed.zip to the root, and
reboot.

To revert try to get a *.kdz file of the version you want (be careful of
the frequency of the firmware) and flash that with the LG tool for flashing.
