Let me start by saying this I have read thru xda-developers forum, and put together a tutorial for whoever get stuck at 4 color-screen or bootloader mode
1. Download mtty v1.42 from http://files.pdamobiz.com/ROMs/XDA/mtty1.42.rar
2. Stop ActiveSync, by Task Manager (press Ctrl + Alt + Delete) kill two processes rapimgr.exe and wcescomm.exe
3. put your device into Bootloader Mode by pressing Power + Record Button and Soft Reset.
4. Run mtty (from downloaded) Choose WCEUSBSH001 (If you only see COM 1 and COM 2, try unplugging the USB and replugging it)
5. type "set 14 0" without the quotes to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset.
6. type "task 28" to get your device formatted
7. type "task 0" to ask your device reboot
8. take the device out of the cradle, and manually reset it if it does not do that already.
good luck.

Hi you gurus,
I was trying to upgrade the ROM but failed due to unknown reason. Now whenever I tried to reset(soft/hard) the handset, it will in Serial mode. By lock/unlock the red button below battery, I could make it alive to primitive screens to adjust cursor stuffs. Though I could restore everything with SPBackup, but any reset would make all effort gone.
Can anybody let me know the ultimate way to get ride of this "Serial" mode?
Many thanks and bow!

u just bricked ur phone dude, u need to reflash it back
This MAY help
USE THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS AT YOUR OWN RISK. I'M NOT 100% THIS WILL WORK (YOU MAY MAKE IT WORSE), BUT I THINK IT MAY HELP. AGAIN, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
/b/-TarD is correct. Try reflashing your device FIRST. If you're still stuck, check out this thread:
http://buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_phorum&Itemid=125&phorum_query=read,40,13307
Here's a quick summary:
Quote (from buzz)
hi,
you have to:
-disconnect USB cable
-disable USB connection in desktop ActiveSync
-connect USB cable
-start mtty
-create new connection and select USB from ports
press enter to see USB prompt in mtty:
USB>
type (dont copy&paste):
set 14 0
and press enter
then reboot Universal.
it should boot normally.

(END Quote).
If you need mtty. Just google it (or you can download it from Buzz's site after you register (free). Just go to the download section.)
Good luck

I wuz flashing it went to 99% and gave me an error so I reset and it wuz still stuck so I took out the battery and now it won't do anything when I plug it into the pc it says unrecognized usb device is there anyway to get the pc to recognize it so I can fix it any help is appreciated
bootloader
Put it into the bootloader, the PC wont recognize the device until you flash it again, but you should be able to fix it. Get into the bootloader by pressing the power key and the voice commander button (looks like an old tape) at the same time and while holding, press the soft reset button on the bottom. This should put you into the bootloader mode, (the backlight does not light up, it just says bootloader and USB or SERIAL in faint writing depending if you have it attached to your PC)
invoking boot loader
Yes...I had a similar issue yesterday and thought to use the button sequence to force the bootloader. The other thing I had to do was get a flashlight and note the bootloader version of 2.05. I then ran the latest update tool from one of the kitchens and that allowed me to load the image of choice that I placed in the same folder.
how did you do it?
I used UNI_bootloader EXIT.exe to get mine back. same situation, v2.05 bootloader, unplugged at 99%. stuck at v2.05. run the exe, and its fine.
Sadly enough i need to post this.. i have both the 6800 and the 6700, i did the same thing twice ... starting with the 6800, had no problem fixing that one, but the 6700 for some reason after a stock rom flash that didnt take completely its stuck saying Serial (top), 1.00 (bottom) , tried uni_bootloader, tried reflashing, for some reason it cannot catch the device, however, the drivers are loaded just fine, that much i know it worked before. any ideas on how to kick start this thing ( i have no memory card at all in it , havent been able to find a miniSD around here anywhere ). Any ideas would greatly help. Thanks in advance.
Hello everybody,
I have a problem with my Touch. A couple of days a go my phone was empty, when I tried to power it up again and start it, but then it hanged in the first screen (the T-mobile screen for my phone). I read a lot on this forum, but I'm a newbie so it's hard for me to find the good solution. I could get the phone in the bootloader ( triple color screen), but it doesn't give the RUU letters in the right corner. If I connect the phone threw usb to my computer, it doesn't give me anything. Active sync doesn't go green. I tried the following things,
1. Go in the bootloader (this works!)
2. Disable the USB connection in active sync
3. Start an USB-sniffer (didn't find my phone)
4. Tried to use MTTY (gives me the error, can't open USB connection, something like this)
5. Tried to flash a rom while in bootloader screen, but the flashing utility can't connect to my phone.
So the main problem is that the phone can't connect to the computer, what do I have to do, to put a new rom on my phone, so I can start the damn thing again??? Please help
Thanks
have you tried hard reset ?
still nothing
I also tried hard reset, still hangs in the first screen, there's also a new problem. I can't put it one, and when I put in the adapter (to charge) it give a red light (constant), what to do, what to do?
no tips?
nobody has any solutions?
Hi guys,,, just bought myself a X10i to play with,,, figured I,ve flash the thing with a rom from the developers forum,
This is where I came unstuck,,,, cant for the life of me get it into flash mode.
Instructions were as follows
1 With fone OFF. Hold down back button and insert usb cable, green light comes on and hit enter. What bloody enter, on the fone or on your keyboard. I,ve tried both, fone just keeps on booting into the main screen, nothing even resembles a flash mode screen. Tried this untill my thumb nearly bled.
Someone help please.

Try hold down "back button" without battery then insert USB cable and then insert battery.
When it says to hit enter, that is to continue from the screen (on the PC) that says "press any key to continue" when you are doing the steps for rooting. If you don't have that window ready the phone will only stay in flash mode for about 5 seconds and then it will continue to boot. So, just make sure you are ready with the PC before entering flash mode.

check drivers (install SE PC suite and let it atleast detect the phone once in FLASH mode)...
also it might help to disable any antivirus (worked for me)
cannot enter the flash mode
Hi,
I know this post is pretty old, but still I'm struglig the second day now to get into flash mode and still no luck despite trying every method there is on the web.
I've got Xperia X10i mini pro, reinstalled standard ROM with PC companion just to make sure it's nothing with the software or any modifications I made to it.
I'm guiding myself with instruction given here:
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Mini_Pro:_Full_Update_Guide
in order to get my bootloader unlocked
what I've done so far:
-installed Android SDK incl. SDK Tools, SDK Platform-tools, Google USB driver package. Not installed any API from SDK.
-put android_winusb.inf (18 KB size) in C:\android-sdk-windows\extras\google\usb_driver
-in general- everyting given here: wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK#Windows
command
Code:
adb devices
rerurns
Code:
List of devices attached
43423531315537465737 device
in my opinion meaning it works as it should.
So I turn the phone off, unplug the cable both from computer and the phone, take the abttery out, plug both end of USB cable where these should be, hold the Back button (tried with Volume up too) and put the battery in.
The result is it only goes into flash mode for several seconds (confirmed by SuperOneClisk log) and then goes into charging mode. nothing gets displayed on the screen. Only when PC Companion is on it detects it, than looses it and pops up with a window on how to properly connect the device... :/
So can someone please tell me what I do wrong?
Why it doesn't stay in flash mode?
PS. when I enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu, after pressing the last * the numbers just disappear and nothing happens...
Pls help
Edit:
I somehow got around that with s1tool and Flashtool. But eventually I could not go along the way given at cyanogenmod.com and unlocked with the help of this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225
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....

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???

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).
