I hope you know that when enabler is "ON", firstly you need to click on component (button, combobox, ... etc.) and they will be unlocked.

Or try open KDZ_FW_UPD in fullscreen and turn it back.

Waranty it's cool, but you can do it yourself in most case wink.gif

Just call LG Vietnam, they said gt540 had been updated at the end of November. I can't wait :lol:

Will you continue, aaa801?

I've tried something, got android sources, 1.7G/20h lol. I just downloaded kernel 2.6.32.21 from http://kernel.org/ to compile it. Is it right?

Please provide more info about your works?

Sorry for my Eng.

aaa801, keep the rest of us updated with whatever progress you make, please :lol:

(The phone is - for a 1.6-device - curiously fast, and given the improvements (esp in 2.2) I guess the little phone could be made to fly. I'll have a looksie when LG decides to release the source for Eclair, using the 1.6 as a base don't quite appeal to me.)

I've tried to patch kernel to 2.6.32, but it's too difficult for me.

I tried following steps:

download patch-2.6.31.bz2, patch-2.6.31.bz2, patch-2.6.31.bz2

run patch command, I met message "Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R" for few times.

get config.gz from gt540, extract and get .config

make menuconfig and load .config

when make, i met many errors.

How to fix???

And I hope you will create new project like http://code.google.com/p/openetna/, it's much easier to make a custom rom.

2. downloaded android Donut version

3. applied the LG source code in the downloaded Android Source code folder

4.ran the following commands

$source ./build/envsetup.sh

$choosecombo 1 1 generic 3 ( i tried 2 2 generic 3 still the result is same)

$ cd kernel

$ cp config .config ( took the config from my LG Optimus GT540 mobile)

$ make

build was successful got the kernel image in arch/arm/boot/ folder

5. ran the emulator

$emulator -kernel ./zImage -avd and01 (default system and userdata image and also custom build system and userdata both i used)

after i load nothing comes, the GUI comes up but after that nothing, the ran emulator with -verbose and -show-kernel, no error message and also no kernel message that mean kernel is not loaded

not sure what is missing, help me how to make my custom kernel run in an emulator

Hi, finally we get the fastboot worked on our device, thanks to guys from 4pda.ru :lol:

Here is firmware 10D for CIS with worked fastboot http://depositfiles.com/ru/files/7acengyfa (Camera+Power)

Next step is build a normal boot.img and system.img from 2.1 or 2.2, and write it to phone.

Hi, what is this and what features does it have

Either I don't get it fully, or LG haven't released the whole source code, to be precise, the android modifications for this release. I'd be glad to hear I'm wrong :-)

This give us a posibility to write a custom ROMs to our device.

Something like this:

go into fastboot mode (turn of the phone then press Camera+Power btns, on screen you can see fastboot v0.5 ... bla-bla-bla ...)

in console write 

fastboot -w

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot reboot

where boot.img and system.img is a custom bulds of Android 1.6, 2.1 or 2.2.

Oh yes! That is good news; I'll still hold off until LG release the Eclair sources, but this is excellent! Now I'm really happy :lol:

One down, a few more to go!
