[q] problems with lg gt540

hi guys.. could you help me with my problem.!
I have an LG GT540 android 1.6 firmware version(stock)
So here are my problems:
1. I tried to upgrade it from 1.6 to 2.1 using this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...27&postcount=3 thanks to lavero.burgos for posting it, I was successful at first part, but I cant follow the next because my device wont go to fast boot,, I tried putting it off, then camera+poweron but it doesnt do anything. It doesn't light, no lg logo appears, just nothing although the computer can read the drive when I connect it through usb. So I cannot flash it to 2.3,2.3 because it just wont go to fastboot.
2. When I turn it on normally, It takes long before it response like after 30sec to light, but just light, no lg logo appears although it wasnt bricked because I can use it normally after just waiting to on.(annoying)
3. Since I upgraded it to 2.1, I lost all 3rd party application and the internal apps were the only left, so I copied all my saved apps (.apk) to my sd card but the problem is there is no saved app on my phone to read and install those apps from my sd card.(irritating)
4. My device wont read my sim card, when I start it it says "sim card unprovisioned" so basically I cant connect to mobile networks here in the philippines(im using globe telecom). I feel that Im stucked in the middle of nowhere since I cannot contact and txt all my family and friends.
5. I cant connect to wifi,, when my device detects wi-fi, I try to connect to it but from the log it only try to connect but doesn't obtain the ip address. Even when the wi-fi signal is strong, it does the same thing.
So please help me guys,,I want to hear from my fellow xda-developers badly,,,
PS. also those who have problems with their LG GT540 pls feel free to post and share it with us here... thank you all guys in advance....

Thanks,, Ive tried the 2nd option on step one and i think my phone successfully got to fastboot(just clean blank screen) so the cmd automatically run and states
C:\Desktop\adb rebootloader
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
error: protocol fault <no status>
C:\Desktop\fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
< waiting for device >
Did I miss something???

ok try again this time with the phone turned on. and then run the script and did you install the drivers?

yeah I installed the drivers...

hmmm maybe there are no fastboot drivers(main suspect....) there are a few ways to get it but for mine i just plug my phone in to my pc (windows 7 64bit) it just recognize it and tries to get the "google fastboot interface" drivers from windows update...

Try Volume Up+Search Key+Power to go into Fast boot Mode, There's different keys to activate Fastboot Mode (There is different versions of Fastboot)

Your phone is/was bricked
Hey, I'm sorry to bing back such an old thread, but I just wanted to say this for posterity: your phone has/had a soft-brick. This means: you can't see Android nor LG boot logos, can't enter Recovery and (maybe) can't access Fastboot, but I'm not too sure on that last one. Besides that, the phone works "okay", but you should try to fix it.
Basically this soft-brick is almost always caught when upgrading from 1.6 to 2.1, so everyone should have it, including me. It took me a whole year to realize how to friggin' fix it lol, but here goes what I did:
Thanks for your help everyone, I came to a solution after a full year lol. Here's my enlightenment, from another Thread:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just wanted to leave my 2 cents here, I've been trying to do my best since around august 2014, no success. 2 days ago I retried this, and I DID IT! I will tell everyone what I did very shortly:
My problem that I solved: I can boot, device works like a charm. But: no boot logos, no recovery.
My solution for TL;DR: UNINSTALL ALL DRIVERS FROM DEVICE MANAGER 1ST, then reinstall. After that, flash a fastboot ROM and use it to WIPE ALL THE DATA IN YOUR PHONE! THIS was what I needed and was never explained: you had to WIPE the old data in order to get the boot screens back.
IN THIS ORDER (THANK YOU to those people from previous replies, gathering all your info was of great value):
Uninstall all of your phone drivers from your PC!!! This is what made most of my headaches go away, just use Device Manager and uninstall anything from LGE. After that, plug in your device in your USB ports (always BACK ports, not front ports, important). It should detect all drivers and download them.
IF it fails (it generally does with LGE USB Modem), you can go to Device Manager > Unknown Device (the one that wasn't recognized) > Right Click and Update > Choose 2nd option, then choose "choose from a list of local controllers" (or whatever the button says). After that, scroll down to LG Electronics, Inc. and install what didn't install.
I also found these drivers, but I did not test them: http://www.mediafire.com/download/p693hcz6kkouh19/USB_Driver_LG_GT540.zip
Huzzah!
Now you're set to begin:
FIRST thing you wanna do is a factory reset, this is something I'd forgotten with time, don't make the same mistake as I did. You can do it by turning your phone on and pressing Volume +/- & Home & Quick Search buttons all together for 5 seconds (it works, be patient and wait for it, even if you open the camera or any other stuff).
Download this Google SDK Tools (unzip and put the folder in C:\ drive) and this Fastboot drivers for GT540 (unzip and put the files inside the folder in C:\android-sdk).
Skip this next line if you know your ROM has fastboot.
Now, if you don't have a ROM with fastboot, I recommend you use either European Open+Fastboot or V20C Orange France Fastboot ROM.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Since you have Fastboot enabled, now all you need to do is turn off your device (all this with its battery on it, no weird things) and hold the Camera button before turning it back on. This should take you either to a black screen, or simply to no display, like me. Either one will work anyways.
Now press the Windows key > Type cmd and open it with Right Click > Run as Administrator.
In it, type all this, command by command (you can paste by right clicking):
cd C:\android-sdk
fastboot -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And now it's go time! Do what everyone else says in here: Take out your phone's battery, SD and SIM cards, fire KDZ Updater up as Administrator (If your KDZ freezes, then it's either faulty or you did not install msxml, look for a good KDZ that comes with that file and delete your current one), choose CS_Emergency PhoneMode and:
1-Plug your phone while holding the volume DOWN button (don't worry! My phone didn't show "Download Mode" either, if you hear the Windows "Somethingpluggedin" Bump noise, it's ok).
2-Flash French V20A
3-Unplug your phone once KDZ says "==FINISHED==".
4-Plug it once again, holding the volume DOWN button.
5-Flash out.kdz (remember! it's CS_Emergency).

THANK YOU XDA!

Also, if you look in here you'll find how to flash an awesome ROM, Cyanogen Mod 10 (should say "Final Version#2).

bricked phone, tried everything

Ok, I've put my flame suit on, but I swear I have tried everything. I am not a developer level guy by any means, but I've been installing custom roms since the OG droid. But this time I got distracted and clearly made a foolish mistake. I was installing XDABBEB's new rom and I totally flaked out and installed the bootstrap and the rom in the same flash. it obviously didn't work and even though I read the instructions, I tried to restore my rom from a backup. Now the only thing I can do is boot into fastboot.
I've tried a number of ways to get TWRP or CWM back onto my phone so I can sideload a rom onto it, but every time I try to fastboot a recovery file it says that "remote: image is not a boot image" or something. What I have gathered from my research is that I cant install a custom recovery unless I am rooted.

So, without a custom recovery and only fastboot at my disposal, where do I go from here?

Thanks for the reply.
I have a VS980S. I have tried the LG flash tool, but I can't get any of the numerous LG drivers to recognize my phone. I even tried dd commands in Ubuntu, but all it would do is try and mount volume after volume making it impossible to use the interface,

I'm in the same boat man. I tried flashing AOKP and it hung and I rebooted and everything but TWRP was gone. I'm in the process of trying the KDZ method right now.

I hope it works for you. I tried that and flashing TWRP with fastboot but it said that it wasn't a valid boot image. A little research said that happens when your device is not rooted. But how can I root my phone from fastboot alone?

I'll give a try and report back. But I have a feeling it won't work. I think I have the adb driver loaded but I can't get my computer to recognize any other of the drivers.

Sorry, what do you mean by "opening window in map"?

I was also in the same boat for 36 h, stuck on trwp recovery, no rom, no gaps in memory... I'm freely sailing now! I did this:
- press together power and lower button to get usb connecting screen, unplugged usb cable.
- LG tools installed and D-802 pilots {for me] installed, plug cable and check pilots again.
- launch in LG tools option for wrong install repair
- wait until the complete rom repair is installed, quite long, and then you win automatic reboot! You just loose root. Ioroot 25 again, that's all.
Hope it works for you chaps.

I had a similar issue. Follow this step by step. It even tells you when and how to install the drivers

Yeh try this ... what i meant was when opening windows in adb-map ... windows -explorer !
But try the llink provided ...it will wake up your phone ..! :good:

Believe me before doing any thing using your pc just try to change the usb port first, then let it install the driver automatically(if you're using w7/8)
if windows xp just dont plug your phone remove the old LG driver and then plug your phone to another usb port that the one you have used it before with your phone and install the driver, and then proceed....
Why i am telling you this?
because i had almost the same problem with my galaxy note 2..... it wasn't recognizing my phone until i changed my usb port in download
mode and let it istall the driver......
hope it'll help.......... :good:

Ok, when I try this the computer recognizes my phone as a "USB Modem Phone ADB port" in device manager. But when I follow the directions in the link above if fails at Step 24. It says the phone is not connected. It is asking for my phone to be in "Download mode" in step 17, but I can only get into Fastboot mode. Is that the issue?

Yeah it is. Have you tried getting it into download mode? I was able to when I was stuck with a fast boot

Ok, as i understand it you have to hold volume up and plug the device in while its off. The problem I am having is that the phone is always on. Regardless of what mode I have it in, I can always see the back light glowing. I've searched for ways of truly turning the phone off, but I can't find any info.
Suggestions?

Ok, hold power button until phone turn off, still holding until LG logo appear again, then the phone will turn off completly.
Turn off = Off
(First Off will take a long time, don't worry(about 40 seconds), don't forget: still holding the power button until LG logo appear and the phone Off)

ok, it seems like it goes off. the backlight appears to be off, but when I hold the volume up button and then plug it in, it immediately goes to fastboot. ugh.
can i use fastboot to send the phone to download mode? I'll start searching for that now.....

Holy cow. This might be the last piece of the puzzle. I will report back after trying this.

[Q] Bricked and gone?

Pretty sure I know the answer to this, but before I finally through in the towel or rather my Nexus 4 against the wall... I will defer to the resident experts. So, I attempt to install Liquid Smooth 4.0 and after going into TWRP I did a wipe and installed it. I was running the previous official build of Liquid Smooth. I also install gapps for Lollipop. Everything began to boot and then the phone said something to the like apps are starting and it stayed on that screen for a full 8 hours. I went back into recovery and tried to restore from my previous Liquid Smooth. Exact same thing happened. After several attempts I did the unmentionable. I did a full wipe. I know it was a dumb*ss move now. My phone does NOT connect to ANY PC. Every time the PC says device not recognized. Now I have now OS. Only TWRP. I tried sideload, but computer does not recognize device. I bought usb-otg adapter, but found out that usb-otg does not work with Nexus 4. So.... should I throw in the towel? My phone now a fancy paperweight?
Many thanks!

Unknown Device... It is worth noting that I have used Wugs Toolkit and followed every set of directions to a T. This includes a PC that that has never had my phone in it before. Followed all the steps before I even tried to connect. Also, both PC machine indicate that I have installed the most update driver.

I have zero experience with that toolkit, but have you tired every usb port on your computer and possibly another computer? Your phone is far from gone, this just sounds like a driver issue to me. Is your phone recognizable in bootloader?
I don't actually have this phone but my wife does, as well as my brother. Just the other night my wife's was showing up unrecognized, all I had to do was swap usb ports on the computer.

I have tried all usb ports and a different usb cord. My OS is gone, so I was hoping to find some way to install a rom or stock. I am at a loss!

How about the bootloader? If you have that feature you can flash stock image

I do if I understand the term correctly. I am at the android "start" screen and underneath the android it says
Fastboot Mode
Product_Name - mako
lock state - unlocked
Now what?

Connect it to your computer, and I assume you have fastboot and adb set up correctly. In command prompt type fastboot devices and see if your phone is listed, should give the serial and say fastboot next to that

Not sure if I know how to set up adb correctly... as far as fastboot goes.. I assume that is set up correctly. Would adb work if the PC doesn't recognize my phone?

Well adb is of no use here so I wouldn't worry about it. Is fastboot recognized?

Don't mean to sound like an idiot (may be too late for that), but do you mean fastboot recognized on my PC when I plug in my phone? Or does is say fastboot on my phone? PC does not recognize my phone, but it does say fastboot enabled on my phone.

Alright so follow these instructions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Get that set up and in the mean time download either the 4.4.4 or 5.0 image here.

Once you finish the adb fastboot setup, while your phone is in the boot loader screen you should be able to type into a command prompt "fastboot devices" and your device should be listed.

I can't get the PC to recognize the phone. The phone is in fastboot mode. It is looking mighty grim!

I'm fairly certain this is just a simple fix on the drivers on your computer, you have access to recovery and boot loader, your phone is far from gone. I'm out atm so I'll check in with ya a little later.

An easy fix, do you have a nandroid backup? Just restore it in twrp. As mentioned, you're far from bricked and sol. If you can get into the bootloader it's recoverable.

Open up device manager, look for the phone, right click and hit update driver, then hit let !e choose driver, then select from list, you shpuld see something along the lines of ADB interface. Select that and install and try fastboot devices in command prompt again.

I am pretty certain I have the proper drivers installed on 3 computers. Not a single one recognizes the device. I suppose it is possible that it is a hardware issue? If I can figure a way to the computer to recognize the phone I am certain I can save it. Right NOTHING has worked.

[Q] LG G2 F320L got bricked, almost give up here [PLEASE HELP]

Okay, this is must be my first thread since I join this lovely forum.
So here is the deal, this is my previous phone that I gave to my sister not so long ago, she has this not-so-bright wise *ss who try to fix her G2.
Sadly, he flashed the wrong rom, this is LG F320L and I think he flashed with F320K (based on error message that I got from the LG Flash Tool when I try to fix it)
This is the story so far :
1. the first time i got it on my hand (after get wrong-flashed that is ) :
- the phone is cannot boot, it stucked on black screen with fastboot command, try to go to recovery but not working, keep going to fastboot screen
- but i can still go to download mode (if I press vol UP while connect it to my PC) but somehow my PC will not recognize it
2. So I browse so many tutorial here and I end up erase and then reflash the stock recovery via cmd fastboot command, I'm 100% sure that I flashed the correct stock recovery file
- the process kinda work, the phone is able to go to recovery screen now although still cannot boot to system
- i still can go to download mode but the PC still didn't recognize it
- however, now the phone is being recognize by my PC if i plug the phone (without pressing anything on the phone), but gave me error code on the MTP driver
3. So next step I try to flash it via kdz method, didn't work of course, since my download mode won't be recognize, and then i also try to flash it via TOT method, also fail (again)
Note : on TOT method I try to flash it while NOT on download mode, since it will not recognized, it gave me error message that i try to cross flash or something. It says that I try to flash F320K to F320L (hence I assume that my sister's boyfriend flashed the wrong rom and got bricked)
also please note that while i'm did this i already make sure that i change the port setting to port 41
So now i stucked here, without the working download mode that can be recognized by my PC i think i'm start to running out of option to fix this phone
Please point me to the right direction good people of xda, please, thank you in advance

So here is the deal, this is my previous phone that I gave to my sister not so long ago, she has this not-so-bright wise *ss who try to fix her G2.
Sadly, he flashed the wrong rom, this is LG F320L and I think he flashed with F320K (based on error message that I got from the LG Flash Tool when I try to fix it)
This is the story so far :
1. the first time i got it on my hand (after get wrong-flashed that is ) :
- the phone is cannot boot, it stucked on black screen with fastboot command, try to go to recovery but not working, keep going to fastboot screen
- but i can still go to download mode (if I press vol UP while connect it to my PC) but somehow my PC will not recognize it
2. So I browse so many tutorial here and I end up erase and then reflash the stock recovery via cmd fastboot command, I'm 100% sure that I flashed the correct stock recovery file
- the process kinda work, the phone is able to go to recovery screen now although still cannot boot to system
- i still can go to download mode but the PC still didn't recognize it
- however, now the phone is being recognize by my PC if i plug the phone (without pressing anything on the phone), but gave me error code on the MTP driver
3. So next step I try to flash it via kdz method, didn't work of course, since my download mode won't be recognize, and then i also try to flash it via TOT method, also fail (again)
Note : on TOT method I try to flash it while NOT on download mode, since it will not recognized, it gave me error message that i try to cross flash or something. It says that I try to flash F320K to F320L (hence I assume that my sister's boyfriend flashed the wrong rom and got bricked)
also please note that while i'm did this i already make sure that i change the port setting to port 41
So now i stucked here, without the working download mode that can be recognized by my PC i think i'm start to running out of option to fix this phone
Please point me to the right direction good people of xda, please, thank you in advance

Okay, so at this moment does the device try to mount quite a lot of partitions? Also does it give any errors on the screen if you power on without trying to boot to download mode or recovery? Ideally we want to see something along the lines of security error.

thanks for your reply, i really appreciate it
well, you're right, it does give me errors when i power on (without trying to go to download mode or recovery mode)
so when i power it on, it shows LG logo then the image goes like corrupt, at first it kinda like shaking then it went blur and last it disappearing, leave the screen into just blank screen.
but my PC recognize it on this moment, just the MTP driver that wasn't
about your first question i'm afraid i can't catch what that means

Hmmm. okay, so what does the pc recognize it as exactly in device manager? Also if you connect the device do you get several pop ups stating that the mounted device needs to be fixed? It's just that if the partitions are being mounted we can reflash them manually using DD commands with ubuntu.

Right, you need to follow this guide i think. Ensure your read it fully before you attempt anything. Now, the lollipop update apparently changed some partitions so I would flash the bumped twrp from the development section instead of the 2.6.3.2 version recommended. Then once you can boot into recovery flash the rom recommended in this post

it's just like the pict that i attached
about the pop ups, no.. i don't think i got those, the only pop ups that appear was the small notification on the bottom right panel that the drivers is being installed, and keep failing on the MTP driver, maybe that's why my PC can't recognizes it under the download mode

if you open disk management what does it say about the g2? also did you install the universal adb driver at any point? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51265001&postcount=30 here it states that installing the universial driver will show your device as a samsung.

Additional! this rom flash assumes you are on a d802 so if your not on a d802 the dont flash it!

okay, i just checked on disk management and it appear that my PC doesn't recognized the G2, what makes it weird, at the same time it recognizes the G2 on device manager on ports (COM & LPT) on port 41, about the adb yes, i do believe i did that long time ago, though i forgot what was my intention of doing so

Hmmm. im stumped. I think its a bit of a catch 22 here. What i think has happened is that the rom flash that was done has changed some of the partition layout, but the methods of fixing that issue is either with DD commands from a custom recovery (which you dont have and cannot flash) or with DD commands using ubuntu when the device is auto-mounting all of your partitions. Its worth a look if you have an ubuntu disk around, if not download here, burn to disk or mount it to a bootable usb and see if ubuntu has any luck with it. Either that or try installing any drivers you can on the pc to get download mode working.
there is also this as a last resort but i've never had to do this so i cannot vouch for it :-/ Good luck pal.

Yeah, i do these.
I used these tool >> https://doc-04-5c-docs.googleuserco...27034/0B_Hol5T47S-benVFYWIxcGlQU0k?e=download
and install bumped recovery 2.8.5.1, then next with otg cabble flash these http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59079665&postcount=536.
and now i install cloudyg2 and i feel great xD thank you!

help! my g2 only boots into fastboot

I was trying to install a custom recovery (twrp) by several different methods, with absolutely no luck (but that's another secondary issue at this point) and i screwed something up. Not exactly sure but i think the last thing I did was:
using "Rashr - Flash Tool" i think i went to "flash kernel from storage" then flashed boot.img.
now the phone goes immediately, directly into fastboot even without being connected to computer.
so i tried getting into the stock recovery by holding "volume down" and "power" until lg logo, releasing the reholding until factory reset screen. after choosing yes 2 times i get a
"boot certicification verify" or something message for about a second then it goes to this screen (sorry but apparently i haven't had enough posts on the forums to include clickable links.)

ok, i do have access to fastboot (actually, as soon as i power it on, it immediately is in foastboot mode, even without being connected to computer). i tried using srktool's repair tools via fastboot. it seems like it's working (ie phone shows that it receives command) but that's it. does it take a loooooong time or something?
btw, i can also get into download mode by holding "vol up" while plugging into computer. so, i tried using srktool utilites via download mode and nothing.
also, i just noticed that while connected to computer in download mode, in device manager it shows G2 under "portable devices" with an exclamation point on it.

I haven't taken the back off (yet) but all indications are that it's an AT&T (D800).
What part of my description makes you think that it might be a franken phone?

Did you try connecting the phone in download mode or fastboot to the LG Mobile Support Tool and performing an upgrade recovery?

not sure what you mean by "lg mobile support tool". i googled it and found and installed "lg pc suite". is that the same thing?
nevermind that last question. i found and installed and tried the upgrade recovery tool but for some reason the phone wont go into download mode anymore. when i power it up whith ""vol +" help down, it shows download mode for a second, but then goes right into fastboot mode.

Is it recognized by the program in fastboot mode?
Here's the program I was referring to: http://www.lg.com/ca_en/support-mobile/lg-LGD803
Even though the program says it is for the 803, I used it to recover my international d802.

Thanks for the reply! But when I have phone connected to USB in fastboot, it shows up in device manager as "android device > USB modem phone port". Is that method the right fix for my situation?

ok, so likei said my phone is indeed in fastboot mode, connected to computer via usb (shows up in device manager as "android device > USB modem phone port". using srktool, i can send commands to the phone (command shows up on phone but thats it.....doesnt matter what command, it just sticks there until i unplug the phone then srktool shows the operation competed and phone shows
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwQdFsCQ9KZVSVg3OTZLcXV0N0E/view?usp=sharing
but none of operations actually complete on the phone.

flash stock ROM via download mode or flash custom ROM via twrp.
the first choice (stock ROM) is better

thanks for the responses!!
before i saw your reply, i flashed the stock .tot firmware and now i have my phone back.
but, before all this started, it was lollipop(5.0.2) and now it's Jellybean(4.2.2). i bought phone on ebay, so im assuming that it got lollipop via an ota update. so now i'm looking into flashing it back to lollipop. what's the easiest method to install stock lollipop?
