My phone wont start up... It stays at the android logo.
I did Vol. down + power on.
then KDZ_FW_UPD and reflashing with the rom but it didnt work. AFter the phone restarts by it self it still stuck at the android logo.
Help me
Type: 3GQCT
PhoneMode: DIAG sometimes i try cs_emergency
Version: nothing
I disabled the android modem
I don't really know which rom it had but i am trying some roms. I baught the phone in carphone warehouse in England (UK in summer 2010.

when your phone stucks on android logo,let it be at there .. connect phone to the computer and try to flash with kdz updater again. (my computer finded phone then [adb device] )

i tried that but after the phone restarts by it self it still stuck at android logo

Try it again and again in cs_emergeny or in standard emergency mode. Delete all LG drivers, boot your device and connect it to your pc. Your Windows will check for drviers and updates automatically. After installing the drivers u can reflash your phone without any issues

what rom you have installed? do you have fastboot or recovery installed there ?

I tried many roms. I tried fastboot,recovery but it still stucks at the android logo after the phone restarts by it self..

before all this hapend i installed app2sd then my phone went very slow and got frozen after i restarted it got stuck at the android logo.

anyone know?

The only thing I know is that I had the same problem...
I tried to flash a UK Vodafone ROM on my NL Vodafone phone, and apparently that didn't work...
The only thing that worked for me was starting the phone into download mode (Volume down, home button and power button, if I recall correctly) and then installing the 2.2.1 OpenSwift ROM via Windows Enabler and KDZ_FW_UPD.
Good luck!

1- Hello you need Press VOLUME UP + HOME + SEARCH buttons, you see the lg logo
2- update wiht Clockwork recovery rom.kdz
the phone started.. you need remove the battery.
3- Put the battery again and then press Power Button+ Camera you see LG logo but whait the screen black its recovery.
Flash wiht Black system by Quarx (extract the .zip in a folder -
open the folder you see fastboot, system and flash, just click on flash)
Sorry for my bad english and i hope this help you

use cis custom rom with fastboot and enter fastboot with Camera+Power and install quarx or recovery and restore from there

EDIT: Thank you soooooooooo much, i flashed it with the Black system rom and it is working now. My phone was like dead for 1 month and u made it alivee thank u soooooooo much omg.

I'm also having the same problem but no luck yet

You need to factory reset your device if you are downgrading from 2.2/2.3 back to 2.1 etc. Go into fastboot and use the following command
Code:
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot
The boot loop is caused by incompatible data that is on the data + cache partitions. A factory reset will solve most 'android screen' boot loops.

[Q] No LG logo at boot (screen has no power), can boot fastboot NOT into recovery

My current specs:
Android Version: 2.2.1
Kernel: Quarx-agent007-desktop #342
Mod Version: OpenSwift/CyanogenMod-6.1.1
Build: FRG83
Clockwork Recovery: 2.5.0.5 (unverified)
I got my files from an English kid on youtube, who follows these forums, he goes under the tagname Airbus320fan (I can't post the link cause I'm new here).
It's from a backup he did (2011-01-02.21.10.25). The only reason I used it, is because he had most of everything working and I couldn't find all the updates for OpenSwift (which is what this kid used).
My problem is I can't get into recovery.
What I did to get into this stupid situation:
-Upgraded from stock 1.6 to 2.1update1 with fastboot via KDZ_FW_UPD (LG Software update software... english version) used file Clockwork_recovery_rom.kdz
-Then I booted into fastboot mode (no power to the screen at this point but fastboot detected the device)
-Ran fastboot -w
-Then flashed the recovery (with a clockwork recovery image), boot, and system with OpenSwift-CyanogenMod-6.1.1 kernel #342
The phone works fine, but I hate being without recovery mode or any sort of visual indication of any other boot mode (emergency, fastboot). I think something got jacked up and something's told my phone not to power on the screen at this point. Otherwise, I shouldn't have been able to get into fastboot.
So, I've tried going back to stock, against all advice, and ended up having to restore the phone back to it's current semi-functional state. I've tried other recovery.img files (including 2.5.1.8) and erasing everything and reflashing everything. No dice. Again, I think this is my problem "...something got jacked up and something has told my phone not to power on the screen at this point."
I've read another post about a similar topic, with no apparent solution. To clarify I don't care about not having a boot animation or even the LG logo, I want to be able to boot into recovery and use it. This isn't my first time around the block; I'm stumped. I am humbly requesting help. Solutions?

First, just flash with any fastboot rom ( it is not even important) that your phone starts up. Then go in fast boot and flash recovery img.
Reboot phone and enter to recovery.
That will fix you problems.
Also use only same version of recovery. So if you use on the start 2505 , use it again. I found that if I use another version it dont work for me ( or I cannot enter into recovery, or mobile just reboot itself)
If you like you can use this fastboot rom. Opposite to other it have blue screen when you enter into fastboot, and also show interaction from /with computer) with white letters. So in that case you can see that you are in fastboot mode .

You have ORIGINAL Baltic ROM.
Link I gave to you is fastboot Baltic ROM.
Original ROM doesnot have fastboot, so that is reason you cannot enter in fastboot.
You must use ROM from link I gave to you. Then you can enter in fastboot, and flash recovery img

I unpluged the phone after 20 minutes, now nothing boots [Screen won't even power on]. The only thing I can do is boot into Emergency mode. I'm going to try the EUROOPEN + Fastboot rom.

So I used the Euro Open V20B file. No dice. I even try flashing again once I was able to boot the phone. Didn't work. Now I'm back to the exact same problem.
Before I tried pepi's fix, I noticed something; If I power off the phone and plug it in to charge, I don't get the battery charging animation. The screen stays black, but the light is on. So again, I think the first 5-10 seconds of booting, my phone's display or animations are not functional.

Ok, lets try this.
Remove sim card ,battery and memory card.
Start KDZ tool, load fastboot rom , but not press "Start"
Change mode to CS_EMERGENCY
Press SOUND DOWN key and attach mobile to USB cable.
Then you should go to DOWNLOAD MODE
Start to flash mobile.

Still stuck at "closing port" in the log file.
No dice.

Change USB port ( that is last option) I have in mind

Thanks Pepi. I got everything working! I trying everything over again, using a different port on my computer for the USB connection. Some other things I did, I went into the properties of the flashing program (I'm running Windows 7), and I set compatability mode to Windows XP SP2 and check "Run as Administrator".
Thanks again.

No problem: glad to help

Hi, i have the same problem, but, i cant even get in fastboot =( what can i do? im desesperate ='( i was upgrating the original firm, and my pc crashed and my device got on a "No boot" state, its horrible, i push the power button but the screen even flash!

You tried removing the battery and plug into the usb port, should start then. Guess you have tried that. Doesn't sound good either way.

Fastboot/Clockwork - stuck on old ROM - Green user -

Hi.
I swapped my old Toshiba TG01 to Dell Streak - unlocked, with the ROM DJsteve - I think because I do not know how to check what ROM I have
But it seems to me that something is wrong with the system on the phone. As if part of the function does not work.
So I decided to upload the new ROM - exactly StreakDroid 1.9.0 (aka The Final Frontier)
And the problems started.
Acted according to the attached instructions:
1.Download update-1.9.0.zip from the links below
2.Place Zip file into root of SD Card
3.Make a text file and type in the options you would like to chose as shown above.
4.Save file under sdcard> install.txt
5.Boot into StreakMod or Clockwork Recovery
6.Select Update from Zip File> Select Zip File From SD Card> update-1.8.0.Zip
7.Wait for installation.
Boot 8.First May Take Longer Than a normal boot. Things are being installed, the stuff is being generated. Patience.
9.Enjoy.
I stopped at the point 5
The phone is angry at me - I asked, begged, cursed, and plucked off the hair of my head ... nothing is helping.
I install Clockwork on my phone - I tried to boot from it - yes the phone will restart ... and only this - just simply restart.
I tried the method - Volume down / up, and Power ON - show me the menu:
1. Factory Reset
2. Software 2.Software Update.pkg upgrade via a SD Card
3. Screen calibration
4. Power off
Point 2 - does not work, does not recognize the file pkg - simply nothing happens - screen is black with light back light (probably the fault of the ROM DJSteve)
I tried the Fastboot from the console. (After few hours searching of method how to start this app - its not easy to find a drivers, programs and clear instruction)
Fastboot devices - can not detect anything - just showing another line in DOS
Fastboot-and flash recovery 0x413c c: \ recovery.stock.img (or any other recovery) hangs on - waiting for the device.
I thought I'd upload the ROM TG01 was difficult (wires, rubber bands and a lot of luck - yes - adventure with Nokser - priceless), but Dell streak and fight with him for several days overwhelmed me.
I tried fastboot on Windows 7 64bit, 32bit, Windows XP Pro - and nothing works.
I'm stuck in the ROM which I do not like. I can not upload an attempt StreakDroid 1.9.0 or ROM O2 2.1. Clockwork only restart phone. Runing with Volume UP(or Volume DOWN or Home) and Power ON - hang phone until I dont remove battery. I read XDA Forum, Modaco, plenty of website about fastboot and roms in Android - now I just want to back to o2 or Dell ROM
Pls help me ... or kill me
Totaly green in Android - Wrzaskun

You have to flash the recovery and then use the fastboot command to reboot the phone (fastboot -i 0x413c reboot) and then as the phone restarts hold both camera buttons down. If you let the phone boot up normally the stock recovery will overwrite the custom recovery.
If your phone is rooted you can prevent this by renaming the file install-recovery.sh to something else.
To make the fastboot commands easier try this tool.
Here is a gallery that shows what streakmod recovery should look like.

Thank You for help... but
I download MultiRecoveryFlasher - nice matrix-like fonts... and its works
Adlast my phone show something on screen not only Fastboot Mode
recovery done... and restart.. and phone back to old ROM - normal restart.
"and then as the phone restarts hold both camera buttons down" - volume? or I have somewhere second camera button (its not silly question - TG01 have reset button under battery cover, HTC Diamond - reset button under stylus )
I try both volume... and we see....
YES! both volume - my hearth stops on blinking touch buttons - and NICE blue fonts on my phone -
Finding update - ok
Installing update .... - Dell 2.2.2 - 345 - underway
Thank you Marvin
PS. if I want to install ROM Final Frontier after DELL 2.2.2 I can also use this - MultiRecoveryFlasher ?

It doesn't matter how you get Streakmod recovery on your phone, but that's what you need to flash Streakdroid 1.9
You flash a .pkg file with a stock recovery and flash a ROM that is in a zip form with a custom recovery like streakmod recovery.
You can use the MultiRecoveryFlasher to change the recovery when you need to.

Thank You for help.
If I find a manual to change ROM write so clear like this 2 posts

[Solved] Phone is stuck

Hi.
Phone is not bricked, but stuck at a moment of the boot process. Whatever I do, it gets stuck in a loop. It seems that it's a kernel issue. I've tried everything I know to fix this (kdz updater & more than 5 firmwares), unsuccessfully... It happened while flashing with a stock 2.1 firmware from a CM7 M4 ROM.
screenshot:
I think I simply ****ed the phone so it is impossible to solve that now.
Any suggest is welcome.

Fix
IT'S A KERNEL ERROR
READ ALL FIRST!!!
Have the necessary software.
- Phone Drivers
- KDZ_updater
- The Room you want to install (.kdz)
When we light up the phone and leave us this error screen:
1. Pull battery, sim, sdcard out
2. press the power key + the Volume Down key to set the phone into download mode or (Download Mode), and only then plug USB cable... (if its not recognized unplug and plug again)
3. Disable USB LG Driver Model, this will change depending on the operating system we have in the case of windows will be in Manage> Device Manager> Modems> LG USB Drive Model -> Right Click "Disable "
4. Open KDZ_FW select type 3GQCT, Phone Mode: DIAG (if not try with CS_emergency), consider the room to install (File *. kdz).
Veronica

Hey Veronica.
thanks for you attention, but I already tried every possible things at playing with kdz updater. When KDZU send the IParam 215, the phone reboots, and the error keeps happening, whatever the mode used or the firmware version.
just for saying, there is no need to hold the power buton when the battery is out. Just hold V- before pluging the usb cable.
is there a way to "format" all the datas of the phone ?

first off you do no that the only way you could have went back to 2.1 is with clockwork.
have you tried to see if fastboot works if it does flash a custom rom onto it.

Hey eoghan2t7
I have new events. I've just successfully flashed it with the 2.1 open + fb firmware. Now, it is stuck on the android logo (seems to load but keeps looping).
Fb seems to work (performed a reboot with cmd), What should I do now ?

ok go in to fb and run
fastboot -w then try and boot the phone normally.

thank you very much eoghan2t7
Phone started normally. I didn't know that to downgrade the firm it needs to do it by recovery. However, I rightly tried to flash preciesely by recovery (so wihout knowing), then I got an error and it said something like "update aborted, reboting". The kernel error appeared after that, but before I even try a normal boot. Then I directly flashed using KDZU.
So, it is solved. Thanks again.

glad you got it sorted.

always do a full wipe data/factory reset BEFORE and AFTER flash any rom!

okay Ill' remember it

Stuck at Android Animation -.-

Greetings all !
Since i am new here, i have a great problem.
So, my phone stopped working few days ago, i needed to log in to my account or something, didnt knew i can fix that with "hard reset" so i googled about 3 hours till i found this forum, great work me !
So i looked a lil bit whats going on here, was searching and searching till i found out how to flash a phone, so i did, and had no success, almost bricked my phone :silly:
So i keepd searching this forum till i found this "

so i downloaded that "setup" file, installed it, worked great, i was amazed to be honest, but to be honest, this is the worst mod ever made for android. cynamogen mod cyna my ass -.-
So here is the problem, i didnt like that 2.3.7 update at all, and that addon cyna thing, so i waned to roll it back, connected my phone to PC, removed SIM, Mem card, found a workin ROM i installed before (before i found cyna and android 2.3.7), used KDZ, selected all the options required, and started an update using KDZ, after it finished my phone restarts it by it self, and god stuck on "ANDROID" animation, i thought its bootin' so i let it about 20-30 min to do so, nothing happens :/
UPDATE:
Now my phone is stuck on the LG LOGO, i cant do any thing, all i can do is go in DL MODE but its useless, my pc wont recognize it, so does KDZ, nothin is recognizing my phone, any solutions ?
So my question here is:
- How do i install 1.6 or 2.1 OFFICIAL version (can be CUSTOM ROM) i dont care, i just want my phone to work again
- What is needed (apps, kdz files, etc)
- Is this so bad, did i bricked my phone or ?
btw. Here are some infos 'bout meh:
- Location: Bosnia and Herzegovina
- City: Sarajevo
- Provider: BH TELECOM
- Phone: LG GT540 Optimus
if u need more info just ask !

I DO NOT recommend to use kdz.
if you don't like cyanogenmod, you can try
1. aosp 2.3.7
2. some modded 2.1 ROM
3. stock 2.1 from LG
they can be flashed via recovery (clockworkmod)
as you now already used kdz again i'd recommend to try the following: turn off your device and try to reboot into recovery:
press and hold HOME and then press POWER.
hold HOME till CWM boots up.
if this doesn' work you may try fastboot:
press and hold CAMERA, press power and hold CAMERA till you see a black screen, PC should recognize a new device (fastboot interface)
if this doesn't work too try too boot and hold these buttons:

In download mode connect phone to pc and use kdz flasher to flash fastboot enabled rom. Try different modes in kdz flasher (eg. cs_emurdiance).
