[Q] Downgrade from 2.3 to 2.1 failed - GT540 Optimus General

Hi
I have installed SwiftDroid v2.0 rc5 fastboot and after it i wanted to go back to android 2.1 using KDZ UPD, but the phone stopped working. When i try to start it, it vibrates but nothing else happens. It starts in download mode (with and without battery). I was trying to flash it with KDZ updater in emergency mode (with different ROM's) but at the end i get error: TYPE_WPARAM_UPGRADE_ERROR Error Code = 6. KDZ updater and LG Mobile Update recognize the phone but fastboot and adb not. Any idea what to do now?

All i know is that you don't have a boot animation. Try to fix that first:
http://android.modaco.com/topic/327768-no-boot-logoanimation/

How about a different 2.1 rom?
Or maybe u havent turn off android modem yet

as i wrote in my first post, i was trying to flash it with different roms
modem is disabled
i send it to lg service

I downgraded about 5 times using kdz and i never stuffed it up

[q] ice cream sandwich downgrade to 2.1

Hello Xda-Developers and LG GT540 Users,
recently I flashed my GT540 to ICS by mikegapinski by fastboot method.
The phone was running on out.kdz.
I found ICS to have few bugs on my GT 540, so I flashed it to V20A by using KDZ.
Then flashed it to out.kdz by using KDZ.
Now the phone is stuck looping at Android logo, and fastboot mode is not available, only download mode works. KDZ doesn't recognize the phone now, "PHONE NOT FOUND", so I am unable to reflash it.
I tried the method at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10238074&postcount=41, but KDZ updater says "Phone Not found".
Experts, I need your advice to save my bricked phone, please help.
hi there,
can you try booting into recovery?? power+home buttons
if that does not work try this methods
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13205397&postcount=26
Recovery doesn't activate. Yes I tried all the methods in the thread you posted, including disabling lge modem etc.
I am able to get into download mode, but KDZ updater or my computer doesn't recognize the phone at all. KDZ says phone not found and the computer doesn't show any device connected either.
reboot into fast boot if it's still available and run
fastboot -w
Then reboot
If it doesn't, boot into download mode and flash a fastboot kdz and try again

Fastboot doesn't show up at all. It gets back to the looping android logo, even if i try the keys for entering fastboot (which worked earlier prior to flashing)
Download mode works, but KDZ doesn't recognize the phone at all!! "Phone not found" keeps appearing.

Put it in cs_emergency and it should work

No, I tried cs_emergency, it doesn't work...
maybe try to reinstall drivers and then try again in download mode and in kdz cs_emergency
its not driver prob he flashed kdz before....
You should open Device Manager to see if your PC recognised your phone properly. It should be in Universal Serial Bus Controllers.
I started up the phone in power+volume down = download mode. The PC installed the drivers and it shows in the LGE Composite drivers. However KDZ says phone not found?
I managed to flash the V20A french kdz to the phone.
The phone is now stuck in the android logo boot loop.
What to do next? Please tell.
SOLVED
Okay I finally got it back to working condition by this method. It is for future reference for someone if they are in the same situation:
1) Erase all the drivers of the phone in your PC. Including LGE modem, Android composite, ADB Spooner etc.. and reinstall them using Windows auto update feature.
2) Get phone to download mode and flash V20A and out.kdz using KDZ in cs_emergency
3)That's it phone is back into working condition.
Also, the ICS by mike gapinski is a great rom, but the lg gt540 is too weak to run it. It runs into several errors, most processes stop responding, so the gt540 is too weak to run ICS yet. My 2 cents.
BootLoop -> Solution:
- Boot into fastboot.
- Flash latest recovery (5.0.2.7) (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
- Use commands:
fastboot -w
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase boot
fastboot reboot​- Boot into recovery (now you will can do it, 'cuz you flashed it previously)
- Flash another rom, like PCF v5.
- Now your phone will boot correctly.
- To flash 2.1 try don't use kdz, you can brick your phone doing that. There are lots of very goods 2.1 custom roms...
Or you sholud try another computer...
the best rom for gt 540 is by mur4ik 2.3.7 .tested , 100% stable.mine run on 825mhz.

[Q] blank screen after flashing mur4iks kdz

Hi all,
A friend of mine, had android 1.6 on his gt540 (donut), he asked me to flash a rom that was better than 1.6 . I started with flashing the repartitioning kdz from mur4ik. It hung after step 212. (normal i presume?) and when I wanted to boot in fast boot, i only got a black screen. and when i booted normally, the screen was stil blank... i flashed several kdz roms, (using normal mode and CS_emergency) it said it was done, but the screen showed nothing...
does anybody know what to do?
any help is really appreciated
hmm so i guess you flashed the repartition kdz before the fastboot kdz??

Yes I did.
should I flash the fastboot rom first en then the repartition kdz?
thanks in advance
you only need to use the fastboot kdz, partitioning is not really needed and can be done through fastboot
doesn't work...
i flashed succesfully the v20b kdz,
but the phone won't boot...
i can't get an adb or fastboot connection..
do you have any tips?
Can you default partitions through kdz? If so try that and refresh 2.1 with fastboot it could be a problem with the altered partitions.
Sent from my LG-GT540 using XDA
Highly possible idea as you flashed repartition first so the system does not have enough space for a 2.1 rom
how many minutes did you took to install this ROM?
I wait for almost an hour and still sending system is displayed on the screen. will my phone prone to brick? what shall I do?
as in kdz fastboot rom? for me it took 10 mins not more. i tried on 2 gt540s around the same time. Then again my computer might be faster

It's a common problem. It's because the kdz files you use to flash the euro rom (or the rom you want).
Just Follow this tutorial: http://android.modaco.com/topic/340693-lg-optimus-gt540-boot-logo-problem/
or this (in spanish):
http://www.taringa.net/posts/celulares/10282298/LG-GT540---Falta-animacion-de-encendido-despues-de-flashear.html
Once you flash that files you need to flash a rom using fastboot a recovery.

[Q] LG G2 booting loop (soft brick?)

Hello,
I have LG G2 (d802 polish version) with 4.2 rooted stock rom, Installed pac rom two days ago and then (stupidly) changed build.prop ro.sf.lcd_density value from 480 to 240 and since then phone is bricked It's either booting forever (LG logo) or booting all the time to recovery mode( I have installed CWM recovery, and later Philz CWM). Now the good side is:
- I can get to download mode and connect to LG Flashtool. .When flashing the tot file BIN_LGD802AT-00-V10b-EUR-XX-SEP-07-2013-16G from XDA Storagecow.eu site, I can connec the phone via USb, change the port to 41 and it starts flashing. HOWEVER, when flashing the stock rom, LG flashtool skips all the partition and flashes it in seconds, then stops at 84 percent, tries to get factory reset,waits for it120 sec and then I have the error DOWNLOAD FAILS. What can be the problem here? Earlier I flashed the same bin file without any problems, and it didn't skipped through partitions , and everything went fine. WTF? Seriously maybe someone knows because I am desperate here. Already trying 2 days to figure it out. Haven't tried the KDZ method yet, because I have Windows 8,1 , and I am having permission errros while trying to flash. I will atttach a screenshot of LG flashtool skipping all the partitions whil flashing soon.
Please HELP!
clarification
In any case I am just asking why Lg Flash Tool is skipping all the partitions and flashin properly and then stopping at 84 and not restarting ? How can I flash back to stock? Any advice appreciated. thanks.
anyone can help?

Did you try to let LG Mobile Support Tool download and flash matching ROM file automatically? That worked for me when I was stuck in LG logo boot loop. In order to make Support Tool reflash ROM select menu Extra Featrues and then Reset Upgrade Error (or something like that - having tool in german here ) Of course phone must be in download mode and connected to PC.
Hope this helps
After kdz/tot flashing you might have to reset the phone.
either:
Hold volume down + power, wait for lg logo, release keys and hold them again (then proceed to factory reset)
OR
Hold volume down + power, wait for lg logo, release keys and hold volume up + volum down (then proceed to factory reset)
Did you solve this?

Bricked D801 - TOT & KDZ recoveries both failing?

I've got a T-Mobile D801 and tried flashing to the stock lollipop rom D80130b_00 using TWRP and the instructions on this page, but the flash must have failed. I did a full factory reset back to stock 4.4.3 prior to attempting this flash and I'm not sure what (if anything) I did wrong for the flash to fail. I can boot in factory reset mode and select clear everything, but then I just see the android guy with gears turning for 2 seconds and the phone reboots again.
Now I'm in a bootloop where I get an "error: Boot certification verify" above the T-Mobile startup logo followed by a "Demigod Crash Handler: Critical Error!" screen that provides options for rebooting (volume down) or putting the phone into download mode (volume up). After using the volume up the screen displays "Volume Up is pressed: Jump to Dload mode" and after connecting via USB appears in device manager as "LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (COM41)". I can't (1) boot directly into download mode or (2) get back into TWRP.
I've tried both the KDZ and TOT methods listed in this thread and neither are working. The LG Flash Tool 2014 / KDZ option starts the LG Mobile Support Tool, but it fails every time once "S/W Upgrade is in progress" reaches 4% with a generic "Upgrade stopped due to an error" message.
The TOT method fails every time with a "Model Information Check FAIL!" message. The full text is - "PID: NULL, IMEI: NULL, Model: , DLL:801, BIN: BIN_LGD801AT-01-V10c-310-260-AUG-13-2013+0.tot , SWV: , SWOV: , Model Information Check FAIL! , 00000000"
I've also tried using srktool to repair fastboot, but it gets stuck at "waiting for device".
What do I try next?
Finally got back into 4.2.2 using tot method. LG Mobile Support Tool doesn't think updates are available though??
same situation lg g2 d802

Yes, I *think* what happened was that my 30b bootstack was flashed successfully via twrp, but then the actual kdz flash of D80130b_00 failed. I had a lot of trouble at this point - needed to fix qhsusb_bulk problems first, then use the more aggressive TOT flash method to reset to stock 4.2.2.
Finally the LG Mobile Tool was still reading it as having D80130b_00 / lollipop after going back to 4.2.2 via TOT (?). Last step was to do a full restore from the LG Mobile Support Tool (options -> upgrade recovery) and it actually downloaded / flashed D80130b_00 so everything is working well now :good:
If it helps anyone I used the LG backup tool to restore apps / media and have to say that for a stock solution it's pretty solid.
qhsusb_bulk?

you said your g2 was detected as a lge androidnet in device manager but not as a qhsusb_bulk...then what problems have you fixed about qhususb_bulk? and what is the more aggressive tot method different from this threadhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
Were you able to find a solution? I'm in the same situation. Please help!
