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.

Yes used the French v20b couldn't recover the phone even with that.

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.

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?

Hello,
I'm searching for a way to boot directly into APX-mode from CWM-recovery and normal Android.
It's for automatic installation/flashing of various software/ROMs, so I don't want to press any hardware-keys!
Any ideas?

I had my Home key go out on me, so I thought I was done flashing my K1. I finally tried CWM ROM Manager, from the Play store. I had to buy the Premium version to be able to flash more than one file. It works great. You have to tell it you have a custom recovery.
AW: [Q] Boot to APX using software?
After some tests I found that at least for the K1 (AKA P9516) the answer is:
echo 1 > /sys/EcControl/RecoveryMode
from either CWM or normal mode.

well I have been having problems on how to do unlock my phone using a Mac, but I was finally able to unlock it and flash TWRP recovery by using mattlgroff's utility 1.20 now the I have installed TWRP recovery, every time I connect my phone to the Mac it asks me superuser permission for AdB shell I grant permission and it says "Adb shell has been granted permission" and it reboots into TWRP recovery. I even denied superuser permission but it still does the same thing. I have USB debugging on.
is this normal? because I need to transfer some files to my phone so I can Flash a Rom through TWRP. I would really appreciate your help. thanks.
here's a picture attached showing what it says as soon as I connect the phone to computer.
after that it just reboots into TWRP.

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.
