[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

Pepi, I used the Baltic Rom you posted a link to. It won't finish flashing. I see in the logs the phone is rebooted, but it's stuck at

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

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.

P.S. i accidentally partitioned the internal memory !!!!!
what should I do?

Turn it on and don't press anything. It should boot fine.
You need to replace logo.bin to get the motorola red logo back there, just do a quick search for it.

i'm guessing by flashing cm7 you have an unlocked bootloader.
if you made a backup of your original rom surely you can just load recovery and restore it and then go again?

I keep getting an error Failed to process command boot error. when trying to flash back to stock rom

Flash the pds image again, that'll fix it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131649

i had the same issue a while ago, i made a post pretty much like your, and like Vangelis13 said, the solution is to flash the pds partition, the one that gave me the solution was ydgmms

I had the same problem when i was unlocking the bootloader and this screen appeared after flashing the pudding file.What i did i pressed the volume button down until i reached recovery and after selecting recovery i installed a custom rom and every thing was fine expect this safemode screen which was showing OS will start in 5sec after installing the rom.So for the screen i had flash the bootscreen logo from fastboot.
If you have not flashed CWM recovery you will have to flash the recovery first using the fastboot command by selecting fastboot from the screen.

choose early usb enumeration and boot up then KEEP THE PHONE PLUGED INTO AC AND PM ME!

I have the EXACT same problem right now. When I choose fastboot it always says <waiting for device> so I can't get it to do anything. Is there a way to get into fastboot from the OS when it boots?
It will be tough, because my touch points are all screwed up. If I click on the app button at the bottom left for example it clicks on the icon on the screen above it.
Every way to fix that I've seen is using fastboot and I know how to use it, but I can't get it to work. :-(

Ummmm, what?! This is not a case of a missing boot logo man. Something is hosed on the internal memory due to being formatted. The OS itself will not boot.
OP - as Robkort asked - what were you running before the errors happened. Were you stock, rooted stock, stock unlocked rooted? 2.3.4? 2.3.6? Need to know that info before we can assist any further buddy. You're not hard-bricked though, so this is fixable.. Just pull your battery and leave it out until you reply back with the info I asked about and we tell you how to fix. If your battery dies, this will be more complicated to fix if you dont have a spare.

I also had this problem before, accidently formated internal partition.
The fix has already been posted, you need to flash pds file via cwm, if you dont have cwm you can flash through fastboot if you dont know how to use fastboot use search
flashing others pds file will change your device serial number, I dont know if it effect anything and my Motorola logo never comeback i lost it during unlock bootloader but i dont care anyway.

[Q] Problem with bootloader or RSD lite or??

My phone milestone 2 from hong kong had 2.3.4 android version. I did update to 2.3.6 and i did not know that i can't downgrade my phone from this version. I dont have CWM, just rooted. Now i have just motorola logo all the time nothing else. I can go to boot fast mode (version 70.10) and when i plug in to computer RSD lite shows "connected..." no imei numer, no model phone. When i tried flashing trough official froyo or gingerbread or another RSD creating image file but when it do done just creating image file flashing is fail with information:
Failed flashing process. Failed process. Phone[0000]: Error getting subscriber unit information. Device API Error: 0xE0000042 Command:RQHW (0xE0805042); phone connected
I dont know what i must to do. My phone is dead like i said i see just moto logo (white, no moto blur red) and nothing else . I don't have CWM and i can't get in to recovery and i can't do wipe of factory reset. Drivers usb is good battety is full. Sorry for english.

you flashed the wrong stock rom (Froyo) instead of Gingerbread. Use the right stock firmware and flash again.
Power off your phone and press power and arrow up at same time for some seconds. You will get to the bootloadermode.
Flash than. Don´t care about seeing a black screen, RSD lite will detect your phone for shure.

First of all, you must to charge the battery with the universl charger...
After, you must to pass a flash with a chinese ROM (See my topic at GSMFans (For download the files only :good: (Search at google by:[ TUTORIAL ] Recuperando Defy morto com LED branco (and click at the GSMFans link...)))...)...
After this, enter at stock recovery (wait the blues LED and press Vol-...) and do a Factory reset...
Reboot...
Your cell will come back to live
