[q] problems with lg gt540

hi guys.. could you help me with my problem.!
I have an LG GT540 android 1.6 firmware version(stock)
So here are my problems:
1. I tried to upgrade it from 1.6 to 2.1 using this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...27&postcount=3 thanks to lavero.burgos for posting it, I was successful at first part, but I cant follow the next because my device wont go to fast boot,, I tried putting it off, then camera+poweron but it doesnt do anything. It doesn't light, no lg logo appears, just nothing although the computer can read the drive when I connect it through usb. So I cannot flash it to 2.3,2.3 because it just wont go to fastboot.
2. When I turn it on normally, It takes long before it response like after 30sec to light, but just light, no lg logo appears although it wasnt bricked because I can use it normally after just waiting to on.(annoying)
3. Since I upgraded it to 2.1, I lost all 3rd party application and the internal apps were the only left, so I copied all my saved apps (.apk) to my sd card but the problem is there is no saved app on my phone to read and install those apps from my sd card.(irritating)
4. My device wont read my sim card, when I start it it says "sim card unprovisioned" so basically I cant connect to mobile networks here in the philippines(im using globe telecom). I feel that Im stucked in the middle of nowhere since I cannot contact and txt all my family and friends.
5. I cant connect to wifi,, when my device detects wi-fi, I try to connect to it but from the log it only try to connect but doesn't obtain the ip address. Even when the wi-fi signal is strong, it does the same thing.
So please help me guys,,I want to hear from my fellow xda-developers badly,,,
PS. also those who have problems with their LG GT540 pls feel free to post and share it with us here... thank you all guys in advance....

Thanks,, Ive tried the 2nd option on step one and i think my phone successfully got to fastboot(just clean blank screen) so the cmd automatically run and states
C:\Desktop\adb rebootloader
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
error: protocol fault <no status>
C:\Desktop\fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
< waiting for device >
Did I miss something???

ok try again this time with the phone turned on. and then run the script and did you install the drivers?

yeah I installed the drivers...

hmmm maybe there are no fastboot drivers(main suspect....) there are a few ways to get it but for mine i just plug my phone in to my pc (windows 7 64bit) it just recognize it and tries to get the "google fastboot interface" drivers from windows update...

Try Volume Up+Search Key+Power to go into Fast boot Mode, There's different keys to activate Fastboot Mode (There is different versions of Fastboot)

Your phone is/was bricked
Hey, I'm sorry to bing back such an old thread, but I just wanted to say this for posterity: your phone has/had a soft-brick. This means: you can't see Android nor LG boot logos, can't enter Recovery and (maybe) can't access Fastboot, but I'm not too sure on that last one. Besides that, the phone works "okay", but you should try to fix it.
Basically this soft-brick is almost always caught when upgrading from 1.6 to 2.1, so everyone should have it, including me. It took me a whole year to realize how to friggin' fix it lol, but here goes what I did:
Thanks for your help everyone, I came to a solution after a full year lol. Here's my enlightenment, from another Thread:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just wanted to leave my 2 cents here, I've been trying to do my best since around august 2014, no success. 2 days ago I retried this, and I DID IT! I will tell everyone what I did very shortly:
My problem that I solved: I can boot, device works like a charm. But: no boot logos, no recovery.
My solution for TL;DR: UNINSTALL ALL DRIVERS FROM DEVICE MANAGER 1ST, then reinstall. After that, flash a fastboot ROM and use it to WIPE ALL THE DATA IN YOUR PHONE! THIS was what I needed and was never explained: you had to WIPE the old data in order to get the boot screens back.
IN THIS ORDER (THANK YOU to those people from previous replies, gathering all your info was of great value):
Uninstall all of your phone drivers from your PC!!! This is what made most of my headaches go away, just use Device Manager and uninstall anything from LGE. After that, plug in your device in your USB ports (always BACK ports, not front ports, important). It should detect all drivers and download them.
IF it fails (it generally does with LGE USB Modem), you can go to Device Manager > Unknown Device (the one that wasn't recognized) > Right Click and Update > Choose 2nd option, then choose "choose from a list of local controllers" (or whatever the button says). After that, scroll down to LG Electronics, Inc. and install what didn't install.
I also found these drivers, but I did not test them: http://www.mediafire.com/download/p693hcz6kkouh19/USB_Driver_LG_GT540.zip
Huzzah!
Now you're set to begin:
FIRST thing you wanna do is a factory reset, this is something I'd forgotten with time, don't make the same mistake as I did. You can do it by turning your phone on and pressing Volume +/- & Home & Quick Search buttons all together for 5 seconds (it works, be patient and wait for it, even if you open the camera or any other stuff).
Download this Google SDK Tools (unzip and put the folder in C:\ drive) and this Fastboot drivers for GT540 (unzip and put the files inside the folder in C:\android-sdk).
Skip this next line if you know your ROM has fastboot.
Now, if you don't have a ROM with fastboot, I recommend you use either European Open+Fastboot or V20C Orange France Fastboot ROM.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Since you have Fastboot enabled, now all you need to do is turn off your device (all this with its battery on it, no weird things) and hold the Camera button before turning it back on. This should take you either to a black screen, or simply to no display, like me. Either one will work anyways.
Now press the Windows key > Type cmd and open it with Right Click > Run as Administrator.
In it, type all this, command by command (you can paste by right clicking):
cd C:\android-sdk
fastboot -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And now it's go time! Do what everyone else says in here: Take out your phone's battery, SD and SIM cards, fire KDZ Updater up as Administrator (If your KDZ freezes, then it's either faulty or you did not install msxml, look for a good KDZ that comes with that file and delete your current one), choose CS_Emergency PhoneMode and:
1-Plug your phone while holding the volume DOWN button (don't worry! My phone didn't show "Download Mode" either, if you hear the Windows "Somethingpluggedin" Bump noise, it's ok).
2-Flash French V20A
3-Unplug your phone once KDZ says "==FINISHED==".
4-Plug it once again, holding the volume DOWN button.
5-Flash out.kdz (remember! it's CS_Emergency).

THANK YOU XDA!

enter the bootloader and flash clean stock SBF rom via usb

You know one trick to bootloader using heindall?

don't use heindall or anything.
just connect the phone to pc and press power button + vol up to enter the bootloder, and flash SBF room using RSD Lite

As above but with more worries.
So I ALSO forgot to install a recovery after doing the TWRP->System wipe. However upon trying to restore the device over USB (RSDLite, Sideload, fastboot) I note that my computer doesn't discover the device.
"Drivers" I thought straight away, however I have MotoCast 2.0.31 installed and Motorola drivers from the Motorla Device Manager 2.3.9 installed.
So I investigated, when using Cyanogenmod Bootloader 2.1 and trying to Mount SD Card I get an error instead. Then it puts me back to the main menu, when I navigate back to the storage mounting page instead of being presented with Unmount I still get the same option to mount the sd card.
It looks like to me that the USB drivers for my Defy+ are knackered. Luckily I have a Defy knocking around somewhere and it appears I can still charge the Defy+ from the wall charger so I've got a plan of action but I really want to check with you guys first.
a) Get the files required for TWRP and CMod BL onto the SD card via the other Defy.
or
b) Find a way to restore the USB drivers on my Defy+ so I can use my PC.
Please tell me what you think?

Moto XT535 paradox rom modification
Hello there.
I've installed the Paradox ROM for Moto XT535 and besides few glitches, all is working fine (rooted, CWM recovery).
I have some modifications to perform but I was unable to do them, as per description below:
1. Boot animation. Sorry to say that, but the default one is very annoying. I have prepared another .zip but every time I want to install it using Ghost Commander or File manager or CWM recovery, the default one is still present.
Both Ghost Commander and File Manager are having root privileges, have mounted /System as RW and accessing /Media folder will reveal the default boot animation zip (1,8MB). I am trying to copy my boot animation over the default one, the progress bar is completed and a success message is displayed, but the default .zip is still there and the new .zip is not displayed (3.2 MB). I have managed to rename the default zip file to bootanimation-bkp.zip but when the phone is restarted, the default animation is still displayed and I don't know how it's possible, it's simlinked from another hidden folder?
2. Boot sound. Another annoying sound. Long and loud. I want to get rid of it or to change it. In the /System/Media/UI folder is not present a boot sound file, so, where do I find it and how can I change it?
3. Taskbar background. It's strange, with missing pixels and deformed/round middle and I want to change it. How can I do that?
4. I have applied the glasskart icon replacement collection to both default Apex and Nova launchers. If I reboot the phone, there is glasskart theme shown in the menu that is applied to launcher, but the icons are the default ones for each app. If I am selecting again the icon collection, it is successfully applied until the next boot. Why and how can I make a permanent selection of the icon collection?
Thank you for your time and I hope that my questions will get a solution very soon.

Newbie trying (and failing so far) at my first root

Hi all,
First message in this wonderful community.
Anywas, having owned a Galaxy Note 3 for a few years now I thought I'd give it a shot at installing a new ROM to get it in better shape and try to stay with it a bit longer. Nothing really wrong with the phone other than getting a bit sloooow, specially the camera.
Anyways, not being a very geeky person, I soon realized the learning curve is steep.
This is what I've done so far:
1) Identified the model (SM-N9005)
2) Downloaded and unzip the SDK platform tools
3) Downloaded the TWRP custom recovery
4) Unlocked developer tools, allow unknown source (not sure if that is needed) and allowed USB debugging. In this phone I think there is no option for OEM unlocking.
5) Installed latest Samsung USB driver
5) Tried to proceed with unlocking the bootloader. This is where I ran into issues:
- I installed ADB Installer saying YES to everything
- Connected phone to pc with a usb cable
- From the command prompt (in my user) I executed adb reboot bootloader. I initially got an error (something about daemon and a port?....) but was able to move ahead
- The green android logo appeared along with this message "Downloading ...Do not turn off target!!"
At this point, pressing the volume down, power and select at the same time I tried to get out but kept on coming back to the same android menu stuck in "Downloading ...Do not turn off target!!". After the third try, a new warning message came up asking me if I want to proceed or reboot phone (pressing volume down) and I rebooted the phone to "escape" this predicament. I thought I was going to brick the thing!
Anyways, any recommendations on how to proceed? Is there an easier method to root the phone? Or to circumvent the issue I encountered?
As you might have guessed by my message, I can (sometimes) follow instructions but the underlying knowledge of what I am doing is .... well ...missing? :silly:
Hope you guys can help me. Thank you all in advance for your assistance.
