just because i know it can be an over sight.
you have to be in fastboot mode for any fastboot functions to work. make sure you are not in HBoot mode.

If you are in linux use sudo fastboot flash recovery . If you are in windows check your drivers.

Hold the HOME button along with the POWER button while turning on your phone. You should encounter recovery at some point. If not, flash a recovery rom by typing:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <image_name>
Replace <image_name>, with the recovery image and remove the brackets.
So for example:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

The 'display initialize' thing is a part of fastboot. Do the commands when you're in fastboot.

er dudes remember that the blue screen and white text is only there if you use mur4ik's bootloaders and not the one you get from the kdz
If you have blue screen its not dead
sudo ./fastboot -w
sudo ./fastboot flash boot boot.img
sudo ./fastboot flash system system.img
sudo ./fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Maybe its your adb server cant remember the exact command but its something like
sudo ./adb kill-server
sudo ./adb server
Or something along those lines look it up on google its the command to restart the adb server if you use more than one device or do alot of work with adb sometimes it will show it cant connect to the phone when really it can it just needs to be rest because something has screwed up on the system and or phone.
Hope this helps and good luck if you still have problems give us a few more details and what happend where but your gt540 is nowhere near broke trust me.

You think that I should reinstal the adb server (or the complete adb with sdk)
Killed the server,and startet it again,but with no response from phone ...

reinstall LG drivers or whatever drivers needed for our phone and try fastboot again .
Fast boot drivers are missing from your computer, Vernica's pinned post with lots of guides will point you in the correct direction.

phone not booting up into android

hi folks don't know if i should make a new thread for this but i have not seen anything similar so here goes.
yesterday not sure if it actually matters but i dropped my phone and i picked it up the battery came off so the phone powered down but then i tried to boot it up again to no avail... the phone turns on but no matter how i do it it only boots up into recovery... if i use fast boot to remove recovery it boots up into fast boot i tried changing from the current swiftdroid asis to others like 2.1 roms, 2.2 and other 2.3 but all the same results...
how now... i am currently stuck with a lame nokia phone and i don't really want to keep it too long please help thanks!
Maybe you could flash a fastboot ROM with KDZ?
Wont that brick the phone? Due to some bootloader thing not downgrading

I not sure about that. D:
Isn't there an option to boot to 'bootloader' when in fastboot? Maybe type that option (I think it's 'fastboot reboot-bootloader') and see if it makes a reverse effect and boots into Android.
eh i think for gt540 bootloader=fastboot

Lol. of course I said that because fastboot is identified as bootloader when using fastboot/ADB/terminal. E.g. the command 'reboot bootloader' on terminal and 'adb reboot bootloader' on ADB.

yes when typing reboot bootloader in adb you are in fastboot (first time i thought my phone messed up ..) but you could try to erase everything via fastboot (boot, system, recovery, data of course) and then start again with another recovery and then install any rom via recovery
Done exactly that. I try before posting :/
Maybe the flash memory had damaged. So start in recovery then connect with usb and in adb shell try to mount /system

4.3 Hang on 'downloading..' when fastboot boot twrp.img

Just update to 4.3 with OTA.
Try to boot to twrp 2.6.0.0 with fastboot boot command to root N4.
I type the command:
fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-mako.img
then cmdline prompt on win7 and the terminal on N4 all display "downloaing..."
and I wait for a long long time. I found it just hanging on that.
I also try this:
fastboot -c "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-mako.img
and still hang on "downloading..."
Any idea?
For some unknown reason, the new bootloader does not support booting into a custom recovery. You have to flash it:
fastboot flash recovery *filename*.img
You can always flash back the stock recovery once you're done with the custom one.

Hello. I just solved this problem. What worked for me was to make sure the phone is plugged into a USB 2.0 port. I hope this also solves the problem for you.
Happy hacking.

i deleted my os

hi...
i unlocking bootloader
and i want to install factory image
but first i open recovery and i deleted every thing format system and every thing becase i want clean -_-"
so .. when I plug the phone into my computer while in fastboot and try any adb commands.. I get <waiting for device> nothing... It seems like the adb drivers aren't loading while in fastboot
i Didn't have this problem with my other N4
please help me -_-"
Only fastboot works when in bootloader, adb needs a custom recovery or android to work. Use fastboot to flash the images (run the install all bat file).

Connect your device to the PC in fastboot mode and type "fastboot devices". Do you get an output?
Remember that you have to run the command line from the folder where your fastboot.exe resides.

It happened to me once upon time, I've deleted EVERYTHING, only adb fastboot was working for me, so i connected my phone to my laptop and pushed system.img by wugfresh toolkit.. Try this way.. I hope it will resolve your problem.

Can't Install TWRP on Essential Phone?

I'm trying to install TWRP recovery on my essential phone. this is the guide i am using, though pretty much every guide i found follows the same commands:
https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/install-twrp-recovery-essential-ph-1-0187660/
The command to determine my current slot returned that i am on slot_b, and when i try to flash the twrp img to slot_a, it sits trying to write. it never crashes but doesn't get anywhere. nothing is happening either in the command prompt window or on the phone screen.
I'm not sure what the issue is. I've updated the android sdk to the newest version and confirmed that I'm using that version of fastboot. I've also updated essential's windows drivers for the device, and rebooted the bootloader several times.
EDIT: I have noticed that on the phone screen when in the bootloader, it says "SECURE BOOT - yes". i don't know if this is important, but when i ran "fastboot oem device-info" it said true for unlocked and unlocked-critical.

Have you the latest twrp.img from the twrp.me site?
Do you have a type c to USB connector thing? Bluetooth keyboard?
If yes, fastboot flash boot twrp.img.
You might need the Bluetooth keyboard in case of not having touch response.

i do have the newest file. i even tried redownloading it thinking the file might have been corrupted.
i haven't gotten to the part where i would need a usb otg keyboard yet, though i have one for when i make it that far.
I would check out the PH1 Development Telegram Channel as if your on stock they have boot images with TWRP and root already added and then all you have to do is fastboot flash the patched image and you will have TWRP with working touch and root as well. Here is the link to the channel if your interested https://t.me/EssentialPH1DEV

I'm not having issues with touch yet. haven't even made it far enough to know if I'm having an issue with touch in twrp...
I can't flash anything for some reason.
I'm stuck at "Sending 'boot_b' (48712 KB)" and nothing happens. every post I've seen says this should take less than 2 seconds but I've waited up to 10 minutes some tries and nothing happens. i need to restart the bootloader after trying this each time before it will let me try again.

Did you do the two unlock commands via fastboot? Firstly.?(not intending to dumb you down or anything)
Did you try with just - fastboot flash boot twrp.img ?
P.S. !! Definitely check out the posted telegram channel! Super helpful group of people.

I did fastboot flashing unlock and unlock_critical. Those seemed to work it shows up as being unlocked and factory reset.
To try to flash twrp I ran fastboot flash boot_a (also tried boot_b and boot) twrp.img and it tried to send but just sits trying and isn't getting anywhere.

I've tried both CMD and Powershell
my computer only has USB 3.0 and 3.1 ports, all type A, so I'm using USB A-C cables. the cables are both only USB 2.0.
so I'm not sure why i tried this but it seemed to work...
I sent the flash command and when it got to the part it normally freezes at, i restarted the bootloader using volume and power keys on the phone. then while it was restarting i sent the command again, and as soon as it got to the bootloader the command activated and worked instantly. now I'm toying around with this newfound knowledge and i think i have twrp working. just wiped phone again and installed AOSIP so here we go

Nice to hear! Be sure to have the twrpinstaller.zip handy to flash after the ROM!! This preserves twrp.

I need to send the command while the bootloader is restarting. It works consistently for me. Unplugging and repluging won't do it; only restarting bootloader. I honestly can't explain it but it's working great.
