Could any one tell me how i can upgrade this phone to Windows Mobile 6.
I have tried using the USA version download but it will not load saying the phone model is wrong.
Also is it possable to activate the wi fi on this as i understand it is there but dissabled.
Any help will be much appreciated.
hi,
first unlock the phone (cid unlock)
here:
http://www.imei-check.co.uk/dashunlock.php
then download the rom for wm6
and follow this steps :
Tools you need:
===============
- HexWorkshop from http://www.bpsoft.com/downloads/
the ROM of your choice
- Winzip or Winrar
- a valid UNL file for YOUR phone
Preparation:
============
a) install HexWorkshop and Winzip or Winrar on your pc
b) in explorer on pc, RIGHT click on the ROM of your choice and use: "Extract files to folder ..." from conext menu Now it will unpack all the files
c) in the new folder you will have ONE file like "HRUU_signed.NBH" (*.NBH) RIGHT click on the .NBH file and use: "Hex Edit with Hex Workshop" from context menu
d) You'll see on the 5th row EXCA20000 ==> !!! make it EXCA***** (5 stars) and save the file
e) Now RIGHT click on ROMUpdateUtility.exe and use: "Hex Edit with Hex Workshop" from conext menu
Search for word "BsaD5SeoA" (without quotes, case sensitive)
You'll find it around address 0x3FC6C ==> !!! replace "BsaD5SeoA" with "IMEICHECK" (without quotes) and save the file
ROM-Update:
===========
1) take SIM card and SD card OUT of the phone
2) Connect the phone running windows ce to the pc (normal way).
3) Completely Unlock your phone using our unlocker <== REALLY IMPORTANT
4) After phone is unlocked run unlocker (again) BUT when the unlocker ask for UNL file, remove the USB cable from the phone THEN press "Cancel" on the unlocker select file window (unlocker will close on PC). NOTE: The screen on the device will not show something usefull when in this mode. Most probably it is complete WHITE. !!THIS IS NORMAL!! Don't touch phone, let it like it is!
5) After you closed the unlocker, attach usb cable again (phone has still white screen)
6) start (the modified) ROMUpdateUtility.exe
7) when update finished and device started you will get a message: "Data Crashed, contact service provider" (!NO PANIC!)
==> Simply fix this problem by running the unlocker again and this time select the key file normal way (full unlock process again).
just follow it exactly and it will work,
i just got scared my self when i got data chrashed, but a few minutes later everythinbg worked well.
iff you want to change anything in the rom you ll need appunlocker.
4 wifi go to connection manager and push 3
wifi is activated.
just 1 thing, youre from uk, best thing is to backup keyboard settings.
its arround in this forum what it is exactly, i forgot this and now some keys are mapped wrong (like @ £ !)
so back this up, and i could use a copy of it
im scared does this work anybody??
I have no idea why the "preparation steps" was necessary ( post #2 ) with all the HEX editing ...
WHY ???
~~~
for me ... I did the paid CID service and then followed this method ... works fine without all that messing around with HEX editing ...etc ( except for the keyboard region setting )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=288230
I've been WM5 <<<--->>> WM6 ... numerous times without any problem by the method in the link I gave.
~~~
Good NEWS
I am now able to generate Unbranded .nv2 file with IMEI no. that is identical to yours one (even the last digit)
If u need .nv2 file, pm(Private Message) me with ur (i)IMEI no. and (ii)Email address. And use an Unbranded rom with it.
If you have a branded .nv2 and want me to unbrand it for you, you can email me your .nv2
[email protected] (better notice me by pm after you send me email)
The benefit of Unbranded .nv2 are:
1) With Unbranded .nv2 you can flash with any Official Unbranded rom directly, without modification need to solve the OTP and illegal use issue.
2) No more SIM lock

LGMDP (Build 12.14)
http://rapidshare.com/files/146584544/LGMDP_1.5_build_12.14_Sep_16_2008.zip.html
KS20 Service Manual
http://rapidshare.de/files/38526183/EN_KS20_SVC_ENG_1123_1.0_.pdf.html
Note: the size of .nv2 file is always about 116KB
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are two ways to connect KS20 to LGMDP: (a) Normal mode and (b) Emergency mode
What can Normal mode does?
In noraml mode, you can do backup and restore .nv2 file, and also flash your KS20 with new rom
Flashing process in Normal mode:
1. Backup .nv2 file from your KS20
2. Switch your phone to emergency mode and start flashing
3. Restore .nv2 file when your phone 1st startup. and reboot (so dun unplug the USB yet at 1st startup, otherwise .nv2 will not be restored automatically)
(note: Even .nv2 file will be backup automatically by LGMDP during the whole flashing process, it is recommonded to do a .nv2 backup manually by yourself b4 any flash)
What can Emergency mode does?
In Emergency mode, you can only flash your KS20 with new rom, only use that if your KS20 is Bricked
Flashing process in Emergency mode:
1. The flashing process start immediately without making .nv2 backup automatically
(Note: Since that Emergency mode flashing would not backup .nv2 automatically for you, thus ONLY use Emergency mode for flashing if you already have a .nv2 file with you)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(a) Normal mode connection method
Step 1: Install "LG Corona USB Driver" in computer
LG Corona USB Driver
http://rapidshare.com/files/99459712/LGCoronaUSBDriver.rar
Step 2: Change necessary settings in engineering menu
At device:
-enter this code to dialpad: 2676625720#
-engeneering menu will show.
-press:
Port Setting → 1. Diag Setting → 1. USB Set for Diag → “OK” → “Back”.
(Port Setting → 1. Diag Setting →) 2. USB Switching → “LG Composite -DUN, DIAG”.
-press Done and reset your device.
This will set your usb port as a composite usb port.
Note:
"LG Composite" is for flashing new rom, backup and restore .nv2 ONLY.
"Microsoft USBfn" is for conecting to Windows Mobile Device Centre or ActiveSync
Step 3: Install "WinDiag_Open.cab" or import WinDiag.reg to KS20 (this is not necessary for some old roms, but most roms need it)
WinDiag.reg
http://rapidshare.com/files/101268724/WinDiag.reg.html
WinDiag_Open.cab
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9XGEO789
Alternatively, you can also edit the registry by PHM Regedit (or things like that) instead of importing "WinDiag.reg" or installing "WinDiag_Open.cab"
Add these two lines:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WINDIAG]
"Dll"="windiag.dll"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WINDIAG\Settings]
"Enable"=dword:1
(note: for importing .reg file or editing registry you have to use app like "SKTools" or else)
Step 4: Soft reset KS20
Step 5: Plugin USB to KS20 and press "select port" in LGMDP(LGMDP_EURO) to connect to it
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(b) Emergency mode connection method
Step 1: Unplug USB from your KS20 and switch it off
Step 2: Press and hold "Send" and "e" key, then press "Power" key while you are still holding that two keys. A Green led should come up and stay on
Step 3: Plugin USB and connect to LGMDP(LGMDP_EURO)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some of the KS20 are having problem in connecting with "LGMDP" even "LG Corona USB Driver" is installed correctly and "Composite USB Port" is set in KS20.
For those KS20, in the "Select Port" window of LGMDP, shows "No Phone" and "None" under "Phone" and "Model" sections respectively while the COM Port is recognised and show as enable. It is possible to fix.
The steps and files that required for fixing this problem is in below:
1. Install the WinDiag_Open.cab OR install WinDiag.reg using PHM Regedit
2. Softreset KS20
3. Connect with LGMDP (I use LGMDP_Euro)
Now, under "Phone" and "Model" it should shows "KS20-00-V10....." and "KS20" and you are ready to do a backup of your .nv2 file by pressing "Download"
WinDiag.reg

WinDiag_Open.cab
http://rapidshare.com/files/103864408/WinDiag_Open.cab.html
P.S
In order to connect KS20 to LGMDP, you have to install "LG Corona USB Driver" and set "Composite USB Port" in KS20.
Steps to set "Composite USB Port" in KS20 are as follow: (from yasmeene's post)
At device:
-enter this code to dialpad: 2676625720#
-engeneering menu will show.
-press:
Port Setting → 1. Diag Setting → 1. USB Set for Diag → “OK” → “Back”.
(Port Setting → 1. Diag Setting →) 2. USB Switching → “LG Composite -DUN, DIAG”.
-press Done and reset your device.
This will set your usb port as a composite usb port.

请问前辈如何解决？
Nothing...............................
opt block????can't open the mobile!???
how to fix it??
Sorry, this is not for OTP block fix.
For OTP block, you have to flash your phone again with "Erase EFS" option CHECKED.
If problem still arise,
Flash a Branded or Hybrid rom if the rom that cause OTP block is an Unbranded rom
OR
Fash an Unbranded rom if the rom that cause OTP block is a Branded or Hybrid rom

ok at step 1
-I am not sure how to install the WinDiag_Open.cab
-I am not sure how to import WinDiag.reg using the the two programs.. Both programs will not install or I don't know how to install them. I am on Vista HB 32bit.
This is probably easy but stuff knows how to do it.. whenever i sit down to fix my KS20 it is past midnight and I can't seem to get it working.....
EDIT
ok very easy you just
copy the cab file across to your phone with activesync
and then run it from your phone
sorry for being an idiot
The cab and reg are supposed to use in phone not vista, so either install the cab or import the reg in KS20

I don't see why all this faffing about with proxy grabbers and URL guessing in necessary to get the correct firmware file for your LG phone, there is an easier way...
1. Go to the LG website and find your phone, download the USB drivers and mobile support tool.
2. Install the USB drivers, remove the battery from your phone and note the model number, serial number and IMEI number then replace the battery.
3. Turn on your phone and plug in your USB to the computer and phone and wait for the drivers to install.
4. Click your 'start menu' and select 'Computer', click the 'Tools' menu at the top left of the screen and select 'Folder Options' and then the 'View' tab, put the radio dot in the 'Show hidden files, folders or drives', also remove the check-mark from 'Hide extensions for known file types' and click 'Apply' then 'OK'.
5. Run the mobile support tool 'exe or setup' file, select the emergency firmware recovery thingy and enter your phones I.D from earlier
When the mobile support tool finds your firmware download, click to download it.
6. Immediatly navigate to 'C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\Phone\' where you will find your firmware file in the process of downloading (mine was called 'V10A_00.kdz').
7. Keep an eye on the mobile support tool to see when the download is going to complete, before it does right click on the white background of the 'C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\Phone\' folder and select 'Refresh' to update the firmware files downloaded file size - ideally do this several times during the download process to allow Windows to calculate the file size faster at the end and produce a useable '.KDZ' firmware file before the mobile support tool get's too far into the process of extracting it.
8. Once the mobile support tool changes from the downloading screen to the flashing part grab your firmware file and drag it to the desktop or any other location to copy it, you only have a small amount of time to do this before the mobile support tool extracts the files and deletes the '.KDZ' file so don't worry about scratching your arse just yet!
Just a note, I also copied the extracted '.CAB' file and 'DIAGCommand.xml' files for no real reason!
9. Once Windows has copied it and the 'File Copy' box closes YANK THE USB LEAD OUT OF YOUR PHONE!
If for any reason your computer takes longer than 10 seconds after the download finishes to copy the file then pull your USB lead if you don't want the phone updated and go buy yourself a decent computer!
If you wait any longer than 10 seconds after the download completes you may well brick your phone which I'd like to add I accept NO responsibility for, not even if you follow my method to the letter and still end up bricking your phone I promise you I won't lose a moments sleep over it!
What I can tell you is that the 10 seconds time frame I give is an over safe time frame. In reality your phone will not start to flash any data until it reboots so I suggest having the volume turned up to listen for the USB disconnect / reconnect sound. At the very latest remove the USB cable after the disconnect sound but if you hear the reconnect and the cable is still attached you have 2 choices, 1: Do nothing and have an updated mobile phone or 2: Pull out the USB cable and have no phone. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Hope this helps you. Please 'Thank Me' if it does.

First off im sorry for quoting op. Im try said method to get a kdz thats not released. As soon as im using old mobile support tool btw. But as soon as dl hits 100 tool attempts to extract it and imeaditly deletes its no 10 seconds. Literally like 1/2 second the goes to error. Long story short. I got a old lg vista frp locked and no available method to bypass i was gonna attempt to update it to a newer firmware to see if ne of the methods work there. The phone was released with kk and not really a antirollback protection. But theres a speci proced to downgrade and i figured if i could get back kk no frp
the method seems to work, so thank you for this solution, i tried a few times until I made it happen, the thing with this is that you can only get recent updates, and in my case I'm looking for an older version of the firmware. hope your post will be usefull to other. thank you.

3. Install Setup_LGFlashTool from "LG G2 Stock" Folder (You will get a log in error if you try to open it)
4. Extract MegaLock.zip from the "LG G2 Stock" Folder to C:\LG\LGFlashTool and overwrite existing MegaLock.dll file. This gets around the Log in Error you got before when you tried to open it.
6. Put phone in Download mode by holding Volume up for a couple seconds and then plugging the phone in via USB.
7. Go to Windows Start Menu and under "search programs and files" type "device manager" and open it up.
8. Go to Ports (COM & LPT). You should see LGE AndroidNet etc... Right click it and go to Properties > Port Settings > Advanced > Change COM Port Number to COM41 > OK > OK > Close Device Manager
9. You should have a LGFlashTool shortcut on your desktop. Double Click it to open it up.
10. In the Model Config that opens up Select Manual Mode in top left.
11. For DLL browse to "LG G2 Stock" folder and select LGLS980_20130904_LGFLASHv151.dll file
12. For S/W browse to "LG G2 Stock" Folder and select LS980ZV7_01.tot file
13. Hit OK and then click the Yellow Arrow in top left of LG Flash Tool. Wait for it to say "READY!!"
14. Unplug your phone and power it off (it may reboot before you can power it off).
15. Go back into download mode and the stock ROM will start flashing on it's own. It should take no more than 10 minutes. It may stop around 80% but your phone will say 100% and reboot and Presto! Back to stock or unbricked! (Whichever you were trying to do)
:good:
Thanks and I hope this helps!
Woohoo!! Lol you my dude, just saved my backside,lol....GREAT JOB!!!!!!Many Thanks...
You, my dude, are welcome

I brricked my phone LG G2 Sprint and now i am in trouble ...phone not booting..
only i get the sideload via Recovery mode...
need a Recovery TWRP/CWM any...
and the way to flash the Recovery...
as i have changed the build.prop's setting
ro.build.target_operators= SPR
to
ro.build.target_operators= OPEN
and restarted it and then ..the ENd.
phone not starting...
tried to use LG Flash TOOL the .dll and .tot downloaded of Sprint
but the error comes for dll as i have changed build.prop to OPEN
so that LG FLASH TOOL is also not working..
figured out the solution but the way for these solution is still far...
just need the WAY for the solution..
Solution : Need to Replace the build.prop(OPEN) which is edited ONE ----> to-----> Original build.prop(SPR) [so that can use your said procedure]
if can't replace then should be able to edit the OPEN to SPR again
Only the things can work thru SIDELOAD only.
Also need a way to flash the Recovery in LG G2 SPRINT (so as to push or edit the build.prop) that to via SIDELOAD
The WAY : ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

I'm not sure why you would try that when the original post has the exact same steps explained much more clearly. I woUld refer to OP and maybe try again following STEP BY STEP
As your device is recognized by the flash tool as an LS980 it should work. If you need clarification on how to do a particular step or few then I am glad to assist.
Please Assist..
It would be a great pleasure...
Hi,
just bought the LG Optimus True HD LTE (this is the model name for this phone here in germany) and flashed it with CM10.1.3.
I'm thinking about to sell it again (accu drain, big display) but therefore I want to flash it back to Stock ROM (2.3.6 or 4.0.4). But I don't know where I can get 2.3.6 or 4.0.4 Stock ROM. I already wrote to LG support but no answer so far. Does someon has a download link?

Download the image you want from here
Download this
After that:
1- Place the phone in Download Mode (Turn off phone, then hold volume up while plugging in USB cable)
2-In the KDZ tools folder, install msxml and run B2CAppSetup (Close the application after it has installed)
3-Run Windows Enabler as Administrator, and press the icon in the system tray to activate it. (Windows enabler allows you to click on grayed out options to unlock them in programs. You can then set the option as you normally would.)
4-Run KDZ_FW_UPD.exe. You need to set Type to 3GQCT, PhoneMode to CS_EMERGENCY, and point the KDZ file field to V10F_00.kdz or the one you downloaded.
Once these settings are enabled, hit the "Launch Software Update" button.
And there you go, back to stock !!
BTW, v10x are GB and v20x are ICS
Good Luck
Hi danilo96
On my side both links doesn't work. I'm on Google Chrom but even when I use MS Internet Explorer the links doesn't work. Do they work on your side danilo96?

My bad, it's fixed now.
Ok
I have followed these steps
1- Place the phone in Download Mode (Turn off phone, then hold volume up while plugging in USB cable)
2-In the KDZ tools folder, install msxml and run B2CAppSetup (Close the application after it has installed)
3-Run Windows Enabler as Administrator, and press the icon in the system tray to activate it. (Windows enabler allows you to click on grayed out options to unlock them in programs. You can then set the option as you normally would.)
4-Run KDZ_FW_UPD.exe. You need to set Type to 3GQCT, PhoneMode to CS_EMERGENCY, and point the KDZ file field to V10F_00.kdz or the one you downloaded.
Once these settings are enabled, hit the "Launch Software Update" button.
Step 1 OK
Step 2 OK
Step 3 OK
Step 4 KDZ FW_UPD.exe version 1.0.4.4 is not working on my side. But KDZ_FW_UPD.exe version 1.0.54 is working. But the user windows of version 1.0.4.4 doesn't look like the user windows of version 1.0.54. So I don't know how to configure this user window 1.0.54. Can anybody help me?
