For someone who are looking for the instruction on how to flash the LG Eve/Etna GW620. Thanks to raburton for his instructions. LG Android Phones

CAUTION: any time you flash your LG Eve/Etna GW620, you run the risk of bricking your phone. I will not be liable. LG Phone Problem and Solution

  1. Download and install the LGUSBModem drivers (I used the popular 4.9.4 version – LGUSBModemDriver_WHQL_ML_Ver_4.9.4_All.exe). Do not have USB Debugging mode enabled on the LG Eve/Etna GW620.
  2. Download and unzip LG-Utils-0.4.2.zip.
  3. Download B2CAppSetup.exe (and run it, it will download the full app from LG).
  4. Download the update for your phone (.kdz file).
  5. Root the LG Eve/Etna GW620:

    1. Enter this on the handset to get to the hidden menu: 3845#*620# (3845#*5200# on Korean firmware)
    2. Select: Module Test -> Stability Test -> Enable Root Permission
    3. Newer roms require a password: EVE&ADAM&&620LOVE!
  6. Extract the kdz file to a cab file:

    1. Run KP500-Utils-EN.exe (from LG-Utils).
    2. Choose "I – Extract files from a KDZ file".
    3. Enter the path of your .kdz file, it will produce a cab file in the same directory.
  7. Flash the phone (turned on in normal mode, not emergency mode or fastboot):

    1. Run KP500-Utils-EN.exe (from LG-Utils).
    2. Choose "J – Flash with assistant (file .cab)".
    3. Enter phone model "GW620".
    4. Enter path to your newly created .cab file.
    5. Enter new software version (e.g. "V10G_00").
    6. The LG flasher will be launched and should connect to the phone and do the job (it will reboot a time or two and go into emergency mode, so don’t panic if you see this).  LG-Eve/Etna/Intouch Max info
  8. After flasher completes, and phone has rebooted, do a factory reset:

    1. Enter this on the handset to get to the hidden menu: 3845#*620# (3845#*5200# on Korean firmware)
    2. Select: Factory Reset-> Factory Reset
  9. Factory reset un-roots the phone, so after reboot re-root it again (as above).

Hi.
I had the same problem:
“ExtractInfo Error(0)”

the problem is the kdz file in the lg page.
It´s a corrupt file. the good one have 100 Mb , this one have 2 Mb.

Stuck on step 6.3

Default directory is
I don’t have a C drive due to hard drive issues awhile back. Only an E drive.

If i press enter the program instantly stops responding. Tried running as admin and in compatibility mode. Also tried making a C partition.

hi folks, i’ve upgraded succesfully the rom of my LG gw620g from the one it has (v10a) to the latest free rom v10g.

The problem is that v10g works under 900mhz (for calls and such thing) and here in Argentina we have 850mhz, after googling a bit, i’ve found that i had to install v10h (which works under 850mhz) but now when im trying to “reflash” my phone, the LG Util Updater always gets stucked at 40% when analyzing the phone, log says:

14:08:36 : Phone Mode(1)
14:08:36 : *****GetPhoneType Start*****
14:08:48 : Phone Type : QCT
14:08:48 : *****GetPhoneModel Start*****
14:08:49 : Phone Model : GW620
14:08:49 : *****GetPhoneBinaryVersion Start*****
14:08:51 : Phone Bin Version : V10G_00
14:08:51 : *****Get ESN / IMEI / MEID Start*****

It seems that, for some reason, its not being able to get the IMEI from my phone, i have currently installed froyo 2.2.1 its supposed to have root access by default so i dont think this is a permission issue…

any idea? im stuck and cant use my new phone no more

thanks in advance!


emiliano on 4 December, 2010 at 5:41 pm #

further investigation lets me know that now also fastboot is not working, when i try to use it its not able to find any device.

It seems that the device is not being properly connected or something like that..

i’ve already reinstalled every driver that i had installed before,

i just dont know what else to do… please help me :(


marian on 7 December, 2010 at 4:59 am #

emiliano: You must enable fastboot (power on, wait 2 s, press space bar)

If there is no IMEI you kill your lgdrm-partition. there must be a text-file “system.id” which includes the IMEI.

@Yoda3035: Search for newer version of the tool.

Look at http://forum.openetna.com

Better tool than LG Util is KDZ_FW_UPD.
No 40% issue etc..
