I flashed my ks20 with the wm6.1 rom today.... playing around with it now... hope it will be stable than the ori rom...

DrWho,

I'm interested to flash with wm 6.1 rom. But does that mean even if we have the original rom version (from the phone) we cannot reflash back to wm 6.0 rom?
Anyway, can you teach me step by step on how to flash to wm 6.1

Thanks

yesh, me too.

thanks.

I have just uploaded the ROM package folder to Rapidshare. Cannot state the link here. Just request and I hope those whom I have PM the download site will forward the link to you.

Caution, once you flash your warranty will no longer be valid.

Added on December 19, 2008, 1:18 amWM6.1 flashing FAILED.

i did another hard reset (which took only 5 minutes).

the failed reason: -


Step 4:

Start up LGMDP EURO, and connect the phone to the computer.
Click on "Select Port" in LGMDP( a dialog should appear which will detect your phone as a COM port make sure it says enabled for the status)


after clicking the 'Select Port' in LGMDP, the phone is NOT detected as the dialog box is blank after clicking on 'Select Port' I think it means that the LGMDP did not recognise the phone ...... it ends here.

LGMDP should be able to recognized the phone by now.


Step 5: (NOT done as Step 4 was not completed)

Another Dialog page will appear now, if not click on select Image Button on LGMDP,

Too bad. never mind, i have tried it.

thanks DrWho and Ed for all the tremendous effort.

Dear DrWho,

i suspect one thing : -

as the instructions asked to open the LGMDP, there were 2 versions : 1 in the package 1 itself and another 1 outrside the package and they have the same name. i panicked and angered a little and got confused, but then it was 1.30 am into the ight, after a hard day's work. jus wonder why the KS20mport was NOT recognised after step 4. strange .......

thanks, i will read up and try again. cheers.

wonder where you are going to hide for 3 weeks . lol ???/

Added on December 19, 2008, 10:38 amDear DrWho,

just read the link. good instructions. but last night, the 'select port' screen was blank and i could not proceed further (seen in one of the screen shorts in the link that the buttons for 'image' was alive, but mine could not be used as it was in light grey color ... meaning not functional ....), nvm i will try again tonight.

wow Mikey, yr great. I still don't hv the courage to flash mine since 6.0 don't really give me any probs.

The only thing I wished in 6.1 if I ever flash is faster speed n threaded SMS which I got thru SMS Chat.

Is yr fone ok now after hard reset?

Ed,

good morning!!!

yes, phone is smoother now. last night only started to install few software inside. so far so good.

actually, not so great la. i had hard reset 3 times!!! it was because i tried to flash the ROM with wm6.1, but failed because at certain stages, it did not work (errors in downloading ...). i ve decided not to do it again.

actually the hard reset was very very easy. it only took me 1 minute and 35 seconds (i dont know why it was so fast?). after the reset, the phone looks cute, simply and clean like a pretty naive girl waiting to be invited and provoked !!!! wow !!! everything was done automatically, and all system software were reinstalled within 2 to 3 minutes.

Streange strange, all the contacts can now be read DIRECTLY from SIM card. not a little issue !!!! it is threaded also!!! i also dont know why, because before the reset, it cannot read my SIM, and all the contacts were upside down and messy. now the contacts are as original as they could. great !!!

will use the phone and see see what will happen. still, i am using the SKTools lite only (the one that you posted here somewhere). willt ry to read up and see what else i need to install. i remember you said something about U2 or something ... ? haha ... .will try them all out one by one, and see when and where the KS20 will 'hang' ..... if they work, will install "your games" as seen in your thread ... they look really great. Ed, hard reset man, it is simple and easy !!!

too bad i cannot falsh the ROm with wm6.1 only.

cheers pal.

Good to know yr KS20 works well now. I don't need a hard reset, not now at least as why needed since everything is running fine.

I'm into serious mode of looking for an iPhone and to hand this KS20 over to my wife, hopefully very soon, in a week or 2. hehehe...

Question: I'm having problem connecting LG KS-20 using Microsoft ActiveSync. My computer which uses Window XP cannot recognise the device. Can you help?

Active Sync works on Windows XP. Try installing NET Compact Framework 2.0 at your PC first. Get the update from Microsoft here:

Dear Ed,

so far me KS20 works fine.

Except: -

1. after sync with the pc, i now see double contacts for each name. but the names are in the right order, so happy.

2. MMS is gone and i am now trying to get it back working ...... but how le???? called maxis and they dont seem to have such set up as yet.

3. each time i soft reset, the pcm keyboard disappears and i had to do something wonderful stuff to get it back. ... Emmm ????

4. yes, me too will have an iPhone by CNY, as a promised gift. haha, then we meet again ya?

thanks and good saturday afternoon.

Dear DrWho,

really appreciate your reply. will take action now.

as for the experience for the hard reset, i am feeling that the phone is really clean, i like it because i feel more confident, and it is not hanging till today. the 'funny files' that i saw via the 'file explorer' before the reset are all gone ... hehe.

once again, thank you.

good saturday afternoon.

Oh, forogt: -

where or how do i 'disable' the contacts view from the SIM please?

Hi! Just got my LG KS-20. However, the activesync cannot even detect the phone. Is there any special setting that I should use? My USB Data cable still charge my handphone, so I believe it is fine. Anyone faces the same problem? THANKS.

Mikey, use sktool to set yr input method of pcm as default. So after reset, pcm still stays.

For MMS settings, use auto profile u downloadef previously fr my post, it sud work.

Ed,

ha ha, thanks pal, will try out your 'ideas'. hope they work le. much appreciated.

happy new year or 'kor tung'.

go to USB connection > choose USB Activer Sync instead of USB mass storage.?

hope it helps.

You can either edit you Registry or use the free Advanced Configuration program to do it. For Advanced Config goto Phone to disable Show SIM Contacts

Download cab version 3.2 from here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?p...=AdvancedConfig

This is one of the best freeware for PPC. As useful as SKTools

DrWho,

yes ... trying it now .... thanks.

Added on December 20, 2008, 10:03 pmCannot run the advanced fig as it says: - 'this applicaiton requires a newer version of the MS .NET Compact framework than the version installed on this device.

i read many times about the .NET version. is this an online OS? .... ???

thank you for your effort DrWho.

thanks.
