Help software update and firmware 1.6

[largecharge]

i have lg mobile software connected to the phone and it's prompting for a software update to 10Q (currently running 10F). has anyone had success with this upgrade? will it wipe out the apps i have d/l from the market? also i have not seen a prompt yet for v 1.6 to upgrade the firmware? is this where it would be or will it be on the rogers site?

10q is the 1.6 update.
It will have the same effect as reseting your phone! so do a backup! of your app using astro.

cool, installed astro was not sure how to use it but managed to make my app backups at least. as for the 1.6 update can you finally voice dial with a bluetooth device? is there somewhere we can see what 1.6 has improved?

I don't know about voice calling with a bluetooth. I am using an app called "car mode" so any call will activate the speaker so handfree.

Greetings to everyone and excuse me if i misunderstood but do you say that there is there an official update for GW620 to 1.6?
Or is it something different?
Can i download it from the LG Updade tool?


Edit:I Just connected to LG update tool and there was no update for my device.
I still have V10I.
As i can see it is only available for Rogers network phones,model GW620r, but i think that there will not be a problem insert in it in my GW620.
Does any one has the link of the Rogers Update so i can download it manually?
Thanks.

Edit2:After some search and guessing i found the link

Does anyone know how to root this version?from the hidden menu if i Tap "Module Test" then tap "Stability Test" then the "Enable Root Permission" option is missing so i cant continue the rooting proccess,i also tryied some automated scripts but no one worked.
Also "FastBoot" mode is missing from this version,so i can not in any way flash the rom and put an other one!
Anyone who knows how to enable root permission in V10Q please help.

I believe that the low disk space refers to your computer: I had to move some stuff onto an external hard drive myself.

you were right, the lg software must scan all your hdd's for space, i found my 'c' hard drive was pretty full (my os hdd is 'i') so a reformatted the 'c' hdd and then i was able to do the 1.6 update. took approx 15 min. to do the update.

I quess you also have Europe version of GW620? I tried to update my V10I with V10Q. The update itself with LG Utils went well, but my phone just hangs with a black screen after Rogers and Android logos are shown. Luckily I was able to flash again and this time I put old V10G firmware and installed Open Etna instead.

have it installed for a week now (1.6), some apps i have installed (eg. paper toss) is slow & choppy when playing. it played smooth with 1.5.......one more year left on my contract.....my future plans to stay with rogers are still the same....NOT!....and this will be my last lg phone i will ever own....

Yes i have a European GW620 and i had exactly the same problem as you.
You have to make a Factory Reset before updating.
At least that is what i did and make it work.

Then if you want to root it see here LG GW620 V10Q Root - xda-developers

I manually updated to the version provided by sport_billy using lg utils. After passing the android animation screen the phone stucked. I had to downgrade to 10I.

Hey all! Back after a self-imposed timeout.

On December 26, as I was waiting for my coffee to be served, I got what I call the "black screen of death" from my Eve. No biggie, this had happened a few times before and doing a RAMdump restarted the phone and everything returned to normal. Not this time. I kept getting the BSoD with a kernel dump at line 1; I'd see the Rogers logo, but never reached the Android logo. Removed the battery, put it back in, NADA. Tried connecting it to the LG software updater, still nothing. I caved and contacted Rogers technical support, at which point I was asked to connect to the LG update program; when I told them that it didn't detect my phone, I was told I had to bring the phone in for repair.

On the 27th I was in a Rogers store and they took in my phone for repair. After 2 and a half weeks, I went back to the store last week to find out what was happening, since I hadn't yet been called to tell me what the ETA would be on the repair. My phone finally was returned yesterday (3 weeks to the day after dropping it off). The summary sheet describing the repair work done simply reads "Swap board (main RF) impossible to repair".

When I started it up, it seemed to be working well, but the icons seemed a little different. When I looked at the phone info, I saw that it's now running 1.6 with the 2.6.29 kernel and the 10q software. Sadly, I lost all the apps I had previously installed (lesson learned about backups!).

A quick SIM card swap with the wife shows that the phone is newly locked, so I have to unlock it again.

I saw that there are links for rooting 1.6, is the procedure different from the wonderfully documented rooting of 1.5? Also, what's the status of running the Eve with 2.1 or 2.2?

Thanks!
