hey frnd can any one plz help me....
i have ported GT540 2.3 SwiftDroid CM7 Project Mur4ik and clean 2.3.1 in my lg gt540.
how can i back in normal 2.1?
plz help me...
bcoz i want to sell my phone early....
thanks.....
Downgrade from 2.2.1 (2.3) to 2.1
1. We go in and write FastBoot:
- Fastboot.exe-w (This command does XP)
- Fastboot.exe erase system (cleaning section System)
- Fastboot.exe erase boot (clean partition boot)
- Fastboot.exe-w (To be sure)
2. Flash a rom with kdz updater
got it from 4pda, it should work.
It will not work: many have problems after first time use fastboot roms. It looks like that only small percent of owners can flash GT540 with stock ROM and in that case phone work. Many can flash but phone stuck at boot logo. If you use fastboot 2.1 it will work normally
^^
so i cant downgrade my phone with ROM that have no fastboot?
Try, you cannot loose anything. Maybee you will be in that few pwercent of users that downgrade works.
Just use a fastboot rom, I sold my silver GT540 with a fastboot rom on it then got a White one, to be honest, Most phones from other manufacturers have fastboot enabled anyway, so I don't see it as a problem

Well i'd recommend using your backup you made using clockwork recovery
I hope you made one
ohh u m not take backup of orignal 2.1..
have any one backup
plz give me link of bakup 2.1

It does not cause a problem to downgrade to 2.1 without fastboot, I have done that several times. All you have to focus on is the following:
after doing "fastboot -w" turn the phone off. And DO NOT TURN IT ON AGAIN. Remove the battery, sim and SD. Hold the camera + power and then plug the phone to usb it will run into download mode. Run the KDZ updater with CS Emergency mode and flash whatever 20A rom you can have. Before the update ends, it will reboot and ask you to insert the battery. Do not unplug the phone until the KDZ updater gives you the ======= finished ====== message.
I hope this helps.
first, try restore with clockworkmod the backup of the 2.1 rom and after flash the original rom with kdz
guide here
i have followed all the steps but when i connect phone to the computer and try to run the kdz updater i get phone not found and ideas whats wrong
The king
You are the man, thank you sooooooo much, two weeks on getting the downgrade working and this works a treat.
After downgrade I was able to get into the unlock menu and was able to enter the unlock code, I am so happy for your post.

yeah just turn your phone off and plug in your usb, hold camera and power for a bit and it should connect. It may still be black screen but do not worry, then run kdz. I can tell when it connects by have my computer open on windows 7 and you will see it flash up on the left hand side. Other times I hold power and home key? The trouble I had was just horrible but just be patient.

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

I deattached my phone and the phone was working fine...After that I tried to install a custom recovery (philz touch)with spftools where the problem arrives.. So I tried to install it I clicked on download in spftool and when I connected my phone (turned off) I got some errors... I tried reconnecting my phone and after some trials.. The spftool download procedure started... Just after formatting I got an error.. my phone stopped getting detected by the PC I unplugged and tried to charge it but no led response for charging ... Phone is literally dead now, power button doesn't do ****! Is there any help or solution please help asap!!! (PC is not detecting my phone ???)
Have you tried Recovery Mode ?
