[Q] GT540 stuck on android screen HELP!!

Hi guy's
I have a few questions I'm really hoping someone could help or point me in the right direction..
I have looked for answers for a couple of days now when I had some free time but haven't found anything.
1. My brother's GT5-40 OPTIMUS is stuck on the android screen. Prior to it happening it was sitting idle. Would a hard reset fix this?
2. He would like to upgrade from 2.1 to maybe GB is it possible? And where can I find the correct thread to do this?
3. Is there anything I can do to optimize battery power?
I hate to annoy everyone with my questions but I'm new to this kind of thing I've only just started flashing my xu and exploring these things so don't have much to go on and would be grateful for any help at all.
Thanks for looking.

UPDATE:
I tried a hard reset - didn't work.
Tried phone recovery on kdz updater : nothing.
Not sure what's next.

you don't provide much info , but first, can you get phone connected to pc ? (example in download mode)
if you can then flash from kdz update is possible. (use this tutorial : link , if no go then try different phonemodes in kdz updater)

Hi
I can get into download mode but nothing else. I tried to flash in kdz bit didn't work for me all the modems seem to sit idle. What other info would be helpful? Sorry I'm in unknown territory with this.

It's been over a year since I've used KDZ, but if not mistaken you have to use fastboot (power on while holding camera) with KDZ. If you can get into fb mode you can try to get KDZ to work. If the modems remain idle you may need to reinstall drivers. If you can get to fastboot you can resolve your problem. G'luck

Hi
Can't get into fb mode I did try a few times. I guess I've hit a wall with this.

fb is not visible , it apperas as black screen ,, but you can confirm that with cable connected to usb (in androidsdk : "fastboot devices" )
also, try that method : unplug usb from phone,power off device (eg. battery out, to be sure), put kdz updater ready, and then plug usb cable and immedetly start kdz updateing... (i remember, i've had same problem and then somehow i've got it working with that method)
also try several times.
also, i cant understand why kdz updater doesn't work in download mode , are you sure that u have all drivers installed correctly ? tried several modes in kdz updater ? (cs_emurdiance and etc.)

I'll give it a try and report back. I really appreciate this. Kdz didn't seem to work I will double check all the drivers etc and see if I've missed something.

So I tried fb mode, nothing like what you describe happens when I attempt to get into fb mode. I double check that all kdz drivers were there -one was missing so when I got that I was intact able to flash the phone, but it made no difference, I get the LG logo on start up then it goes to the android screen and no further. When I try fb mode following your instructions I get the boot up as described above, I tried it a few times but always the same result.

did u flash fastboot enabled rom ?

Yes used the French v20b couldn't recover the phone even with that.
Sent from my ST25a using xda app-developers app

Enter the download mode (volume - and power button)and flash the official rom(should be in 7z format)

I tried downloading the official Rom but couldn't get it all the links are not working, well all the ones that I tried. Do you know of any? I'm really grateful of all the help.

with this tutorial I repair my gt540 [ROM][Gingerbread] 2.3.7 | CyanogenMod 7 | SwiftDroid ASIS| Mur4ik after that gets the rom of your choice, Since then I have not stopped trying roms heh, do not fear, it's okay, I encourage

Try my script: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856553
See if the device has fastboot on it, try Volume Up+Search+Power or Volume up+Camera+Power (Let go of power when powered up and let go of other buttons when in black screen or if it says 'Fastboot Mode').
You need to install the drivers, look on google.
If there is no fastboot then your only luck is Hyper Terminal and KDZ Updater. (KDZ Updater for flashing and Hyper Terminal for wiping (That is why the device will not boot))
And of course you need to be in download mode (VolDown+Power)

Hyperterminal?? Still having no luck with kdz, I can flash stuff on the phone but it makes little or no difference as it still ends up on the android splash screen.

Yes Hyperterminal, you have to use it to wipe the data has KDZ does not help with it.
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using xda premium

Right so use hyperterminal yo wipe the data then go ahead with the rest of it. I will try this method and see what happens, the only other thing is that I can't get into fast boot mode at all, I have tried lots of times and nothing happens, can I safely do this in download mode?

Thanks but where can i learn these commands from, im new to android adb commands

Google twrp guide lg g2. First link. Installation option 2 shows an adb push as the installation. Its essentially adb push "File name" location on phone" then twrp van install the zip. Also there is a side loader app that can work with twrp as well

i think you miss understood me , i am in twrp recovery and i dont have any android installed i want to get access to my files .

In twrp. Do you have a file on your phone or want to put one on it? If you hAve no os and you want to put one on it to flash look below. If you just don't know how to flash click install and its self explanatory.
Now plug your phone into a computer with adb and working g2 drivers. It's the same process. Installing twrp with option 2 to push the file. You should or probably push it to /storage/emulated/0 this is the sd card. From here you can install it with twrp. If you took shortcuts to install root and twrp and don't have adb working there's a search on Google for that as well. There are threads in help section dedicated to this or similar issues that have same solution.

[Q] twrp wont load

i installed a theme for the recovery and next thing you know my phone wouldnt boot.... so... i went into recovery so i could just reflash the rom and fix the issue but guess what? the them was so big I CANT PRESS THE INSTALL BUTTON! i already tried deleting the theme using the file manager but I CANT PRESS THE DELETE BUTTON EITHER, anyone know a way to boot into twrp and make it bypass loading the theme? Please do make any referances to adb because i dont have a computer at the moment. Im at work and cant install anything on this computer and no i cant ask the I.T. for help...... please help me.....:crying:

Without adb to reflash the recovery and delete the TWRP configuration file and theme that is present on the SD card, I think you're out of luck. To the best of my knowledge those tools are required to fix your problem.

Dead Nexus

I have searched and searched everywhere and could not find an answer. I even posted my situation in the q&a section and it just got lost in the thread.
Ok so here goes, i was running multirom with stock as my primary, and the L port as secondary. Ran for months no issues ever. I was going to give the phone to my wife so i was gonna wipe the phone and put it back to factory fresh.
I had the phone booted (running secondary L port) and attemted to boot into recovery. The phone rebooted and got stuck at the google logo with the lock at the bottom. So i rebooted phone into bootloader(fastboot) and scrolled to recovery and was met with the same outcome. Then i rebooted once more to fastboot and scrolled to start ans same logo again. Even from a fully powered down device trying to start phone normally i get the same logo.
So i decided to just flash factory images since i was gonna anyways(twice actually)with wugs toolkit. I recieved zero errors both times but you guessed it same result.
I even tried another battery and still same BS. Last night i decided to flash a JB image manually so i could see changes in bootloader ie radio,bootloader ver,recovery etc. Now bear in mind in fastboot it would not reboot bootloader by selecting it so i would have to power off device and then use button combo to get back into fastboot to flash the next file. I continued untill everything was complete followed by rebooting to os and still same [email protected]$$$ng logo. Please someone help.

Flash the factory image in fastboot, don't use wugs. If it still doesn't work you have a hardware problem.
