im afraid im pretty new to android ( gt540 is my first smartphone ) but anytime i updated, everything went ok, in fact yours is the first time i heard of a crash while updating so i cant give you much info but your in the right place, im sure the devs can figure something for you. just try remove the battery and then plug into your pc. and its not a problem replying just wish i could help.
well, did you try with the battery removed?
yes i did nd there is nothing
plz any one help in that
plz some one tell me how to make abootloader to it i have another lg gt540 i want to know if i can use it to repair the bootloader for this dead phone
The problem is theres noway u can acces inside the phone memory to patch bootloader. Go to lg waranty and tell them this happened when u were updating phone, dont tell them that pc crashed, tell them u updatet through lgsupport tool too, not through kdz updater they should fix it for u.

can any one tell me what should i do
Remove battery press volume - or + I can't remember try two options, then plug in usb.
You should see blue screen with DOWNLOAD or EMERGENCY MODE text.
i tried all keys combination nothing work
my mobile internet went dead after flashing quarx rom (I did it wrong btw...), but everything else worked fine.
I couldn't get mobile internet back on track no matter what (it was disabled in quick settings when I flashed quarx), I even tried factory reset and flashing the baltic rom. during the flashing, the kdz updater gave me an error close to the end, and my phone became stuck at the android screen.
even though I have CWR installed, so I could flash it again, I sent it to LG claiming I was updating through their website and since my phone doesn't start. I didn't tell them anything about the mobile internet not working. Hopefully they'll clean the phone completely and that will fix it.
I'll be picking up my phone after work today, I'll let you know how it went.
Same thing Happened to me n almost **** my pants for killing my brand new phone..
follow these steps
1. volume +or-(i dont remember) +camera n power on. it should turn on n say downloading mode.
2. update( you can use kdz updater, it probably wont crash this time but even if gets stuck just w8 for it)
3. after updating, remove the usb cable n turn on the phone, hopefully it would work
4. ENJOY ( N THINK TWICE BEFORE EFFING WITH THE PHONE, )
i am not sure about the keys for emergency/downloading mode(i think it was vol-) GOOGLE IT IF KEYS DONT WORK.
Put to microwave on 2 sec without battery and send do service
my service provider fixed my phone in 3 days without any issues, they flashed the t-mobile branded 2.1 on it. went home and now I have the open europe with fastboot and cwr.
so if all else fails, just send it to LG or your provider.
cheers!

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

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

Start calm.
All you need is a cool mind now.
Search for the USB JIGGS available on xda and see if someone from your area has it. You can then take help from that person. If not then just go to service center, tell them that it stuck like this while doing software update and act like you no nothing about rooting our flashing. That will do.

Yes, offcouse.
Just let them be unaware of you knowing about root/cwm etc. just act dumb. If they get to know your warranty is already void, they will charge you money for repairing it.
Follow what bruce says..
Tell them u got an update in kies nd this happened
** rooting is new for me,
nd i am a noob to root....**
They said Board is damaged

The last 'n' only hope left is this:-
Install ur phone specific driver on pc.
1. Take out battery, sim & sd card.
2. Open odin.exe on pc.
3. After this, connect the phone via USB cable to PC(yes! without battery,sim & sd card)
4. Press the download mode combo keys.
5. While keep pressing all those keys, insert the battery now.
6. Now, odin should detect ur phone so that u may get it updated with stock firmware.
And if this also doesn't work, then bro u might have lost it at all

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).
Hello all,
usually i deal with my problems by searching the forum, though this time i am really worried as i cant find anything to my help.
You see something went bad with the screen and because the phone is rooted, i cant get it fixed (it is still in warranty), nor can i use it (the touch sucks).
So i am trying to get it unrooted.
So i have downloaded LG mobile support tool and the drivers, i enter the phone to download mode and nothing happens. i get all the time errors. Also, in the lg mobile support tool, i see a software update. Should i do it? I cant though because the start upgrade button is greyed out, and the "LGD802" sign on the left pane is flushing like its trying to verify my g2. Also, should i wait for like 10 minutes or so when i enter download mode for the bar seen at the phone to be completed before the whole process? Lastly, the most of times the lg mobile support tool crashes on the pc.
Please help me folks... :/

Where did you buy it, it sounds like the symptoms of a frankenphone. There is a post about it, some sellers flash d802 firmware on a d800 and it causes similar problems with screen, IDK about the LG mobile flash tool.

If you are brave enough you could try taking it apart and swabbing all the conections, I don't know if that would help but some people say it helps them. And the screen could just be faulty, you never no, before I took it apart I would try reflashing rom, doing the stock touch firmware update thing, then if it still don't work try flashing a kdz for the model number physically inside your phone not the one in the system info, and then I would take it fully apart, and put it back together then if it don't work, replace the screen.
the thing is i cant really interact with the screen to reflash the rom, its inresponsive. and my lg mobile support tool randomly crashes i hook my phone up the pc and it starts the download drivers part

Try a different computer, you could use a USB otg cable to hook a mouse up to your phone if your having issues with touch screen to reset it.

Hey guys. I tried rooting my LG G4c but after rebootingen it seems that my phone is stuck in a loop, and i can't fix it.
What happens when i turn the phone on:
1. LG logo turn up
2. The following message appears:
[670] --------------------------------------
[670]
[670] Boot verification fail!!
[670] - cause : MISMATCH_SIG_LEN
[670]
[670] --------------------------------------
3. Phone reboots
Using the power button + volume down does NOT work anymore to start recovery mode (although starting the IMEI display still works).
I tried using LG UP to install the original firmware via USB but the device does not show up in the list (probably because the phone keeps rebooting itself). Some website also said to connect the phone with the pc, turn LG UP on, then put out the battery and put it back in to make it work, but that also didn't work.
Anyone know what i can try next? What method can i use to reinstall the firmware? And if it's not possible, does it cost much to repair and who should i ask?
Edit: It seems i can start "Factory data reset" but when this proces starts the phone restarts and continues the loop with the error message.
I also tried connecting the device with LG UP while the phone is stalled on the IMEI screen and the Factory data reset screen. This way the phone does note restart itself and it might appear in the device list of LG UP. But too bad it still didn't work.
I don't know if i'm reaching anyone who can help me, but even a answer from anyone saying that the problem is hard to deal with would already be very relieving I really can't find anything related to this problem on the internet and i'm noobish myself. I'm probably gonna visit a some phone shop down town in the next days because i really don't know what to do.

I had this problem too. I send it to LG and said the phone was unplugged during update process. They flashed it and I gave it to my mom. I have an S4 yet. Much better performance and rom support.
