[Solved] Phone is stuck - GT540 Optimus General

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).

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.

[Q] Back to 2.2

hello everyone
I want to restore my phone back to 2.2, cause some bugs in 2.3.1 make it to bad for me. but now the problem: I don't know which backup (by me) is 2.2, fastboot doesn't connect to my phone so i can't flash from the computer and i haven't a clockwork mod anymore. what should i do?
Use Mur4ik's 2.3.2...don't use the Alpha of Joestone :L:L It's not ready.
Ehm sorry, it seems like i've got 2.3.2. I've got Mur4ik's version. My bad. But i should i flash something without a way to flash something?

I don't understand what you mean
Oh:
1) i've got 2.3.2 from mur4ik
2) how can i flash images? In my first message, you can read that all things to flash (fastboot, clockworkmod) doesn't work.

First, try to flash an official 2.1 rom with fastboot:
- Get KDZ Updater
- Get Europe Open + Fastboot ROM
- Install MSXML package (included in KDZ archive)
- Run KDZ Updater
- Choose 3GQCT in left dropbox and DIAG in right dropbox
- Browse for the ROM file
- Click "Launch Software Update"
- Wait for it to finish and to reboot the phone
- You will now have a non-functional 2.1 ROM on Your phone, but You will have fully functional FastBoot
- Now, remove the battery and USB
- Place battery back in the phone and press Power+Camera and keep holding Camera until the white LG logo dissapears and black screen appears instead (Fastboot mode)
- Now open 2.2.1 ROM by Ankuch and Quarx and download and flash OpenSwift 4.4 to Your phone
Good luck with flashing!

Thx, but what do you mean with 'a non-functional 2.1 ROM'?
I mean that the phone will not be able to boot to Android. It will just boot to endless loop on Android logo animation, but it is not a problem, since You just need the FastBoot functionality of that ROM.

oh, cause when i hold (now with 2.3.2) power+home, i will get a black screen too, but fastboot doesn't recognize my phone.
That's because that is the combination for recovery and, in your case not functional one. Just try power and camera button combination.

[Q] [q] heelp mee pleaase !!

heei guys .
half a year before I bought the zte blade, and so far it worked well.
but suddenly it stops working ..
whenever I try my cell phone goes immediately to start the red "back" button on (bright red) and then there's the green robot android, then the blue zte intro and then it all over again ..
I have not changed my zte (clockwork, rom)
I know myself well not so good ..
would be really nice if someone could help me ..
I do not know what to do ..!!!
or is it maybe bricked ?!
thanks ..
Its not bricked as it still boots up.
When exactly does the phone crash - when you make a call, start an app, or just automatically reboots?
Did you install a new app just before this started happening?
Is the phone rooted?
Are you sure the battery is ok? Try starting phone with charger plugged in.
ouh ..
yes when i switch the phone on the android boot logo cames then the (blue) zte intro .. and then the zte intro comes again and again ...
noo ..
aahm ? i dont do anything with the pc and the zte ..
so i think i dont root it or something ..
one time there was "ftm" on the screen (after it had this problem).. but i didnt know what this is ..
thank you in front off !!!
but i didnt came anymore to the homescreen , or lock screen
Try booting into recovery and clear the cache? I remember my old G1 did the same thing, and after clearing the system cache it worked.
To boot into recovery i think you keep hold of volume down when turning the device on.
If that doesn't work you could wipe the device, but you'll loose everything on it then.

The issue you have is this, the rom that has been flashed to the phone is for Gen 2, but the phone is still set on Gen 1.
You'll need to boot into recovery and perform a restore, or flash Ginger stir Fry Rom, then the phone will work.

Solutions depend on
-- whether or not u have custom recovery installed ,
-- whether or not fastboot is enabled in your device. (It isn't enabled only in stock gen2 firmware)
-- whether or not u have rooted and made changes to system partition.
Possible solutions
-- If u have custom recovery installed then format (= wipe data/factory reset) the device from the recovery.
Power off the device. Then by holding volume down power on the device. This takes u into custom recovery menu if it is installed. If custom recovery isn't installed this takes you to FTM MODE.
-- If u have fastboot enabled then use this method to format ur device. Power off the device. Then hold volume up and power on the device. Here the device should stay at green android logo forever if fastboot is enabled. This is fastboot mode. Now install zte USB drivers in PC and connect phone in fastboot mode to PC. It will install the software. Now in device manager u shouldn't see any android named devices with yellow unrecognised format. Then use fastboot windows tools from command prompt. The command to format tthe device is
fastboot erase userdata
-- if the above processes didn't work then using tpt is recommended way. U can flash complete low level device firmware using tpt. U can flash either a recovery alone to hard reset. Or u can flash a complete rom. On bit searching at modaco u will get more information regarding everything.

THANK YOU !!
but i dont understand that things .. ?!
can you explain me your answer for people do not understand much of it ?
Download gen1 to gen2 (there is a download link in this section) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258855
Unzip the file and place the image ( the image is called image, not gen1 to gen2) on the root of your sd card (ideally it is best to do this on a pc)
Also download and place the Rom you wish to use on the root of your SD card (cyanogenMod 7.1.0 stable release works well) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297776
DO NOT UNZIP THE ROM at this stage.
Put the SD card back into the phone.
Power off the phone, hold menu & vol + (up) & power at the same time, you should see some green writing, wait until it is finished (well done your phone is now gen2)
You should now arrive at the clockwork recovery screen, if not power off the phone, then hold vol - (down) and power (together), clockwork will boot.
Now using clockwork recovery, clear data/factory reset, then install your rom from the zip, that is all there is to it, obviously you'll have to enter your login details to use the market and sync your contacts etc, but your phone should now be working.
Don't forget to make a nandroid backup.
Goodluck

[Q] Problem re-flashing Swiftdroid

It seems that I'm in a pickle here.
I already had swiftdroid installed but then I wanted to re-install it. So I tried but after flashing euro+fast.kdz , I got stuck in boot-loop. I tried doing the steps but I think I might be doing something wrong. Well, to get into fastboot to test if it went through would be holding the "camera" button or is it "home+camera" button during reboot? Thanks. Been at this all day.
Oh, and it appears every time I try to power on and hold the camera button first, it just goes to a black screen. So, by that have I already installed the rom properly even if it gets stuck on the android logo?
and an update as to what's happening:
going into download mode detects my phone on "device and printers" but as soon as I click on "Launch software update" I lose all the icons and KDZ returns a message saying "Phone was not found" I just noticed this now. What should I do?
I already uninstalled all drivers installed on my pc and re-installed them. After doing so, my phone detected a whole bunch of LG devices. Now on Android logo -- That after doing the Euro+fast and now am trying to do the out.kdz. By the way, even if my phone restarted during the "Launch software update" I waited for it to say finish right before I took out the battery and the usb cable.
After param 207 my phone went into boot stage and my pc re-detected the LG stuff. Now my phone is on the LG logo and it's been like it for a minute+.
I am following several steps on doing this procedure.
--Now question is again.. After this step should I be able to launch fastboot via "holding the camera" button? Do I need to do this while the phone is plugged in to the computer?
......
already tried euro then the out then euro using phone cs_emergency. Currently on Android bootloop. So I think I'm kinda back to step 1. Because initially, when I had swiftdroid, I just did euro using phone diag then afterwards, it went to bootloop. Now when I tried to restart my phone then I press and hold of the camera button, phone goes into a black screen. But looking at the "devices and printers" page, it shows "unspecified--android" on the bottom. What should I do then?
So right now, I'm currently on Android logo bootloop and if I reboot then hold the camera button, it goes to a blank black screen. What should I do next? Thanks
Update:
so yeah, after dwelling on the black screen, I tried to open up Mur4ik's old thread looking for the files I downloaded last year. Tried the command prompt and typed this in
fastboot -w
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot
After doing so, phone rebooted okay. Right now, phone status seems fine. Some adventure I had. Will try to work on how to upgrade the version on this unit.
Nice work dude I too did all that stuff, its really adventures
Now I came over it and now I'm trying all roms
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

The only way I could get it to work was the following; however there is one thing to try before you try my way because mine did this also - after the wipe and flash with flashtool etc. The only way I found to get out the bootloop was to do a factory restore after when its looping. So from the boot screen loop hold the power button until it goes off then on then off again.
Then do the process to get into the recovery so hold down and power then release power as soon as the lg logo appears (first one) then press it again immediately that SHOULD get ya to the grey factory reset screen. Press the power button 3 x and it should do a factory restore and boot up this time. First boot may take a minute it should eventually start up.
Failing that try this - Open the lg mobile support tool and connect the phone in download mode (volume up and power with plugged in usb on mine) then go to options and upgrade recovery. it will download a file usually about 2GB then install it, the phone will reboot at 100% on the phone and 80ish% on the lg tool it will then start into the setup feature,
DO NOT disconnect the phone until it gets to 100% and finishes. This way you shouldn't need to do an extra factory reset.
I understand for this the phone needs to be seen on com 4 (it shows on the phone screen) so if necessary go into device manager with the phone still plugged in in download mode and select com ports then select the phone com port then right click >properties> advanced and change the com port to 4. It may tell u its already being used but don't worry it is fine. Save and exit device manager.
please bare in mind these are just my experiences on MY LG D802 however its worked every single time for me without fail and ive done it a good few lol.

[Urgent Help Required!] Phone boots, but no download mode or recovery!

Hi,
Have a weird situation, but try as much as I may, I'm unable to resolve it.
My phone is rooted (international D802) and was running fine. Had a screen issue and got it replaced at the service center but their system identified my phone as a rooted device, and a couple of days later the problems started.
The issues I'm facing right now:
1. The phone doesn't charge when switched on, at all.
2. The phone doesn't reboot either.. not instantly anyways. If powered off, or rebooted, the phone doesn't turn back on, it just goes dead. It does boot again though if tried after a couple of hrs.
3. The phone charges when its off (shows no light or indicator though, like its bricked)
4. Cannot go into either recovery or download mode. Coz the phone doesn't boot when restarted or when i try to reboot into recovery.
5. When it does magically start after a few hrs (upon long pressing the power button), even if I try to go into download or recovery via the vol keys, it just boots to android.
6. The phone is recognized properly as LG G2 under windows and all the drivers install too.
7. The phone isn't recognized under Linux... tried both Ubuntu and Knoppix.
Travelling out of the country in a few days, really need to sort this out.
Any and all help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Somebody... Anybody? :'(
When your phone rebooted I would recommend you firstly to activate USB Debugging in the developer settings. You said your device is rooted? So try to install the Auto Rec recovery here
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=13763 - but make sure you are on Kitkat. Now, install the app normal and let the app install all things. After installation, the app asks you to reboot to recovery, now press reboot to recovery.
Maybe you have luck and the phone reboots to TWRP. In TWRP you can go to Reboot and then Reboot to Download mode.
Now (if all worked) you can flash the stock rom .kdz file of the d802 via the FlashTool 2014.
Hope you have luck, please keep me up to date if everything worked.
Yours, Flo
Good luck!!
Thanks a lot for the response Flo, but the problem is that i never got around to updating to a Kitkat rom... the rom i was never got updated and I was kinda happy with how things were working so didn't jump on to any other rom.
Anything I can do in my current situation?
Go back to stock via lg flash tool
