lg ally is not gt540
Well its not suprising that you have bricked your phone. Going by the title of this post it seems that you have flashed the wrong update into the phone. Anyway, get the correct update and reflash your phone with it in download mode.
try to launch kdz updater in CSemergency mode and reflash your phone
(enlarge the winow of kdz and clique on DIAG and finally choose CSemergency)
sorry for my english
I know. Its optimus. My mistake. But the rom was right. i think windows 7 was messing. Cuz tryed with vista in emergency mode it was grand. So now all good. Thanks for replays. My brother was ****ing hes pants when i said its bricked D

Lol good to hear that everything ended up just fine. I've bricked my phone countless of times. Every time i bricked it i seemed to feel less worried. Its very unlikely that the phone would turn into a permanent doorstop from a bad flash, imo.
Straight from my GT540!

Hi,
I tried to upgrade from v2.1 to new Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread For LG Optimus GT540 and I followed instructions exactly, but I am stuck at number 8, I did this:
8- Now click “Launch software update”, DO NOT USE THE PC TO THE PROCESS IS COMPLETE. THE PHONE WILL REBOOT WHEN FINISHED THE PROCESS IN KDZ. (The process takes about 15 minutes in KDZ).
and about 2 minutes text log writes and stopped, I am now waiting more then 40 minutes my phone didn't reboot. On display is still written download mode, what should I do now ?
In kdz is written:
3GQCT: wParam = 205. IParam = 36
p.s.
I disconnected phone from usb and pull out battery and now I cannot turn on phone, I tried to push vol down + power for 5 sec.
Any idea what should I do now? I hope I didn't brick my phone
What programs are you using?
What are you using to update your phone and have you tried taking out your SIM, SD card and battery then turned it on with the USB cable?
I used KDZ updater and tried to install CyanogenMod7 (2.3.5) @ GT540 Swiftdroid2 RC3 by Mur4ik. if that is what you ask ?
I removed sim card and battery also, then tried to turn it on while plugged in to computer usb but no response from phone, I can't turn it on
p.s. I am using win 7 64 bit OS

If you can't get into download mode, then it's game over I'm afraid. What you will need to do is return the phone back to where you bought it. This happened to me some time ago. But the Carphone Warehouse were happy to fix it (even though I had voided the warranty but don't tell them that ). Don't say that you tried to mod the phone, say something like 'I installed LG's PC Suite and it said my device had a software update. I went along with it, but it gave me an error half way through. Now my phone won't turn on at all' It might just work!
I had the same problem when modding with kdz.
completely bricked my phone, but was able to fix by putting kdz into emergency mode instead of diag and updating with a fastboot stock rom,
it would stop after 2 minutes and give me and error but it managed to get fastboot onto my phone,
(camera + power)
then just flashed the fastboot method with adb and everything was fine,
my problem was something to do with lg modem drivers i believe,
I read a thread that said to disable the lg virtual modem. (didnt
work for me)
pretty noob myself
but the above method worked for me,
not sure if this can do anymore damage to the phone
have a look at this is u get it into emegancy mode.
On the kdz updater instead of 3GQCT put into emergancy

If you have tried flashing with Cm7 you might be lucky,
try holding camera button and powering on the phone, a black screen should come up thats fastboot.
if that comes up u should be able to just reflash following mur4iks instruction
if not try what i said in my last post and reflsh with phone type 3QGCT and PhoneMode EMERGENCY
again only going of how i fixed my bricked phone

He was trying to flash a fastboot rom (to install CM7) but bricked his device in the process. So he can't flash CM7-.-
Yeah I know that but I mean when I got the error he has, I flashed with a stock 2.1 fastboot rom With Diag changed to EMERGENCY and was able to get on to fastboot mode (camera+power), I got the error again as i was flashing but the phone would load fastboot and not start up
If he can get lucky and get into fastboot like i did, a simple:
fastboot -w
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot
should fix his problem or did i just get lucky?
sorry if im confusing thinks here, but this is how i fixed mine. which was also dead and not turning on

Well like i told you im a noob at this myself (Android phone flashing atleast)
I suppose it would be good to see if you got fastboot??
Power on the phone while holding camera button (hold the camera button until the screen goes black) if you can get fastboot you can just follow the fastboot flash instructions after fastboot -w
if not on kdz in the top right were it says DIAG, Change this to CS_EMERGENCY,Click Launch update and flash again with a stock fastboot rom
after THIS see if the phone loads or boot loops(had this once too) or loads fastboot
Il try look to find the thread i read on another forum for troubleshooting kdz it helped me alot
EDIT: http://android.modaco.com/topic/321895-faqgt540-reference-thread/ try some of the troubleshooting tips at the bottom of the O.P
I basicly aimed to get fastboot working so make sure your flashing with a stock FASTBOOT! rom
again im new to this im just saying what got my phone back to life
my fone stuck in download mood what can i do?

I bricked my phone and I tried it again after getting it back from lg
I'm new here and to having a Smartphone, I've just been given an LG Android GT540 which is at version 1.6. The LG site tells me I can upgrade to 2 something or other, sorry can't remember the exact number and gives instructions on how to do the upgrade, but I'm a bit on the cautious side as I don't want to brick it, not this early on in owning my first Smartphone.
I'll be reading a lot of the posts here to try and find out as much as I can before I attempt to do this.
Well don't worry if it's official update. But if you some how brick your phone just tell lg the update bricked your phone and we are talking about unofficial updates

I've got phone today from service (not official LG service), repairman just manage to wake up phone so I can turn it On, but when I turn it I get black screen with message on it ''download mode''. Now computer recognize phone when I plug it, and I tried to update or flash it with kdz updater but have no luck
I launch kdz in emergency mode, load rom with updater, press launch button, and process started, (get messages unpacking software etc.) but after 3-4 minutes I notice that computer is blocked I couldn't do anything with mouse pointer, and I waited 15 minutes but computer is still blocked, even time on computer is stopped. I tried this procedure few times, every time it is same. Also tried to disable lg virtual modem in device manager. Any idea what I could do ?
p.s. repairman in service told me that he tried it to flash it with riff box, process started but after few minutes if stopped and blocked his riff box
Aw man I need some serious help here! So yesterday I was following instructions on the android forum to get my phone to 2.3.7 and so I downloaded this fastboot ROM and flashed it to my GT540 but I later found out you needed to have a rooted phone in order to get into fastboot and everything in the OS from android forum kept crashing my apps (couldn't get Z4Root), so I decided to try to flash it to 2.1 with the LG Update Tool and it got stuck at 4 percent. I unplugged it and now my phone was stuck at the Vodafone logo. I used KDZ Updater to flash FranceOrangeV20C_Fastboot to it and it didnt work (some parameter error showed up). Now my phone is stuck on the LG logo and it isn't detected by anything! PLLEASE HELP! I bricked my phone!!!!
this happened to me before dont know about you but i would send it to lg.
Figured it out!
OK so in KDZ Updater change the phone mode to CS Emergency and go into Download Mode in the phone and then just flash
This is if you get errorcode: WParam:100 LParam:4008
mine was in a worst condition the phone will not boot in anyway
As your phone turn on there is always a way to save it
Don't worry, we all been there
Follow instructions properly anz don't be smart are solutions to avoid bricking.......now i agree send it to lg if still under warranty.

Hello, I ran into a problematic brick on my L5...nothing seems to work to unbrick it.
I followed the guides step by step using the KDZ updater and the appropriate firmware for my country, but it doesn't work.
How I bricked it:
I had CM10 installed and perfectly running for a month, so today I decided to attempt an overclock to speed the device up a bit.
So, I downloaded and installed the modded kernel, flashed it using CWM and rebooted the device. After that, the device just keep booting up, showing the LG logo and then a black screen.
Now, after trying to flash the old firmware after going into download mode it just stops on the LG logo with the flare (sun ray effect) spinning around the logo all the time...It's been like that for almost 30 minutes now. I attempted re-flashing it 3 times but nothing seems to work.
What do I do?
Thank you in advance.
It's bootloop. When I had L5 I had the same problem after flashing bricked phone via KDZ.
Do hard reset with key combination. It worked for me. Phone will boot up few minutes.

Hold together volumn (-) + home button, then turn the power on
sorry for the delay, The phone was dead so I send it to the warranty and they send it to LG and then returned working so I just had to reroot it and update it again

This is what I get when I connect the phone by USB.
I just cant get into emergency, DIAG or emergency CS
KDZ the phone connects and then I get a message afterwards PHONE NOT FOUND.
everytime I install the drivers by LG support tool, it keeps giving me the option to install the driver, like I havent done it a hundred times over.
I think there should be a driver somewhere that can be installed but the only people that have this driver are LG tech's. So they can bill you after
send the phone in cause you rooted it. So the one billion dollar question is witch hero will find a way to unbrick this device. We only need a way
to get a driver to install and we are home free. Or maybe the only other option is throwing the phone for sale on internet for spare parts
HELP PLEASE HELP find a way to unbrick this phone. Believe me I flashed and bricked alot of different phones and there was a way out but in
with this phone it seems impossible!!
And there is no mode to put it in in because te volume buttons don't do crap, the home button also, the only time that the phone does show up is when windows tells me it has an unknown device that I for the love of god can't find a driver for. I tried SDK, the LG drivers, but no dice
Did you try emergency mode? (volume up + volume down + power button)
If not, see if you can enter it and then flashing your stock firmware with Software update [KDZ] 1.0.4.4 (KDZ-Flasher).

does your phone come-up with blank (black but backlit) screen ?
if it does then you will be able to use kdz updater in attached link LG-RDTT_1.0.5.4 (needs included windows enabler for this version)
use THIS GUIDE to flash just skip the hosts file editing steps
and let us know
LG-RDTT_1.0.5.4

Install LG PC Suite, the LG Mobile Support Tool and the LG L7 USB driver. Then try again. Make sure your phone is set on 3GQCT and EMERGENCY on KDZ.
Before you install a ROM, you're recommended to wipe data.
Bootloops can occurs in many ways, if you can logcat your problem, maybe we can help you.
