Are you running kdz updater as administrator?

 

[Ashymac]

I've run both files as admin and even tried running in compatability mode? im really stumped as to why it wont work, i might try on my other pc in a minute although its the same os.

 

[Ashymac]

Finally! it was the copy of kdz updater i had not working, downloaded from a different source and now its flashing, wierd!

thanks guys.

And you have kept the enabler and the dll files it came with in the same folder?

God this update tookforever but im now looking at this forum on my newly flashed 2.1 gt540 and I'm very happy with the update

 

[he6rt6gr6m]

Good to see so many happy... err... replies?

Just posted over at MoDaCo is the MoreLocale 2 app, which will get rid of the dashes on the phone numbers you store, and probably localise the phone some more.

hi folks, please forgive a stupid question.

I have just run PC Suite IV and Phone updater via my desktop, and neither are showing an update available.

My GT540 has version 1.6, or V10A showing in the menu.

Is the above method a legitimate way to update my phone?

Please bear in mind, Im not too tech savy, so again please forgive my daft question.

thanks

"Is the above method a legitimate way to update my phone?"

well the Software used up there is the update for the balkan/rusians using the GT540 so thats pretty much legit, i did it last night and fllowed the above by evrey word and it worked pretty much fine on my girlfriends win7 laptop.

The updater tool is in russian but if you follow the tutorial you should be fine. i know alot of people on here and over on modaco are holding out for the official UK release but that could be days/weeks yet because of the networks adding and tweaking before release. which was my reason for updating.

on the phone itself the update works great, its alot smoother to use nd the live wallpapers are a nice bonus.
so really the choice is are yo okay with this versian of the update or would you prefer the official UK one?

good luck either way

> Is the above method a legitimate way to update my phone?

I am not a lawyer but I would expect it to void your warranty. It also will currently prevent you from becoming root which, depending on what you want to do, is possibly more useful than the changes between 1.6 and 2.1. I am also not sure how easy it is to go back to 1.6 if there are issues. Anyone?

 

[vikidroid]

IMHO, and as far i readed accross net, there is NO possibility to downgrade to 1.6.

ok thanks folks, appreciate the replies.

It is an official LG update, specifically for the Russia/Baltics as mentioned above. It isn't meant for us lot, but due to the amount of time LG is taking to update all people away from Russia and the Baltics to 2.1, quite a few of us have just decided to get it done this way.

The chances are that once the official update comes for the UK, etc, we will be able to update to our country-specific KDZ, which would probably not affect your warranty at all. (What they don't know can't hurt them.)

 

[Beamsy]

Is there an alternate download for .kdz file? I can't seem to download it.

 

[Kostas]

Can anyone verify that this firmware does not contain any language packs other than slavic/baltic and english? I need greek fonts and the greek dictionary very badly. This would be just like bricking my phone for me. I dont want to wait until LG delivers the official update but if i have to...

Also can anyone tell me if there are any differences in the preinstalled apps and widgets? New apps, newer versions, new functionality, anything basically

Thanks

EDIT : fixed

2.1 installed fine, and wifi works and i can browse websites, but when i try and download any apps for android market all i get is the "starting download message" and it just sits there without moving, I have tried a full reset, and turned the phone off and on but i still cannot download anything.

Locale selections:

(Another one I couldn't begin to imagine. Japanese, maybe?)

MoreLocale 2 might be able to help you if Greek isn't above, but I couldn't confirm it.

Up to you if you wish to go to it, but be warned. You CANNOT go back to 1.6.

 

[Kostas]

Thanks i guess i am gonna have to wait a little bit longer then. Its strange that they released it only for one region. My firmware includes all these languages and many more. Damn you LG !

 

[he6rt6gr6m]

I agree, but I think that the KDZ is available to Russia and the Baltics because the phone itself was released over there with 2.1 already preloaded. The rest of us got the 1.6 version, for reasons I have yet to understand or even attempt to figure out.

Don't know if anyone's noticed but there is a difference with the balkan rom- telephone numbers are all displayed with hyphens, in the format: xxx-xxx-xxxxx. It's not a problem, but in some countries, such as UK, we don't write hyphens in our phone numbers.
Or.. maybe all roms do this and i just didn't notice?

[spark001uk]

Yes sorry, must have missed it!! Sorted it now, thanks.

 

[daniel88]

Someone please help! I went through all the steps, and pressed the big long button, and it began to update. Then a box appeared saying Error 4003 i THINK, and now my phone is stuck displaying Emergency Mode.

I am worried i have bricked my phone, please help!

 

[daniel88]

I worked out what was wrong, I stupidly did not change to '3GQCT', however, it is still stuck on Emergency Mode.

Please tell me there is a way to reverse this!!!!
