[Q] PC died when upgrading GT540

Like topic says. Was doin' it via LG PC Suite. Now it's only LG logo on my phone. Any ideas what should I do?

Are you planning to install custom ROMs on your phone?
If so, check this out:

Instead of doing this:
Prepare the phone by enabling USB Debugging by going to Settings>Applications>Development>Enable USB Debugging and connect the phone to the computer via USB cable and let Windows install any drivers it needs.

Do this instead:
Hold down volume down and plug in the USB cable and 'download mode' should come up on the screen. Let windows install any drivers it needs. Then launch software update.

Hope it fixes your problem and device

Same thing happened to me, bricked my device, took it to phone shop they flashed the board and it worked again, think i could have just entered download mode and reinstalled but, i was a noob then still am tbh

Just put your phone into download mode.
Flash fastboot.
Then reflash your ROM!!
ALL DONE XD

Any
You can flash any ROM you want via fastboot and any failed attempts won't completely brick your phone.

No need to, you can reach download mode with or without the usb cable.

Can you get it into battery charging mode ?
If you can get there, KDZ software will switch it to Download Mode when you attempt to flash firmware.

I am not sure as my boot animation is damaged no matter what mode I boot into. The problems began when I flashed a v20 baseband

radio image which is initialized before kernel is damaged
it doesnt interefere with bl or download mode however

- unplug usb cable.
- remove battery.
- hold vol - pressed.
- while doing so, connect usb cable.
- does it get into download mode ?
or try
- unplug usb cable.
- remove battery.
- hold vol - and + pressed.
- while doing so connect usb cable.
- does it get into download mode ?
let me know if either of those does anything.
If any of those work and kdz flash doesn't fix there's still hope, let me know how it goes, you might need a modified firmware dll aswell.
Good luck

[Q] I'm SO LOST PLEASE HELP!

I own an LG G2, i recently got this phone yesterday from a person on craiglist. Don't worry i didn't pay him i gave him my older phone i dont use anymore. SO This phone is practically stuck in Firmware Update (As i read that post) , i spent about a day and half figuring it out and what happens is that.
I CAN get into recovery its TWRP v2.7.0.0 by Turning off the phone first and then Holding Vol UP, Power, Vol Down at the same time until the LG Logo comes up and then i am still holding them down, and it says Recovery Mode please wait and bam TWRP.
But heres the problem i can't mount my OTG and i can't ADB Sideload. So what do i do from here?? this guy rooted this phone and soft bricked it i think? and he wiped the phone but i also did when i had the chance and wiped it completly via recovery.
The only way i got into "Download Mode" / "Firmware Update" was to take the back cover off and unscrew a few screws on the side and unclip the battery for a few seconds and then plugged it back in and then I held the VOl UP button and plugged my USB into the phone and the other end is in my PC. My phone says "Download Mode please wait" and then prompted with the Firmware Update screen. BUT my pc doesnt detect the phone whatso ever and i've already installed drivers and etc from this forum ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 ) its the 2015 method that i downloaded.
so what do i have to do, i havent tried using different usb cables, the port seems fine to be plugged in since in TWRP it says 84+ so i meant its charging right? help me out guys idk what else to do or flash or anything.

I think the methods leave out that you need to change your phone to com port 41 on device manager > ports in order to be detected. Then you need to unplug it and reconnect to computer when the program shows waiting for device, with the phone in download mode already.
Also, to get to recovery you hold vol down and power, when the LG logo comes up release power and hold it again until the reset screen comes up.
To get to download mode you turn the phone off then hold up while plugging the USB cord in with it connected to pc... This launches download mode.

Well you see man , I cant change anything in Device Manager since my phone isn't being detected. It didn't install drivers fully fully since my phone isnt recognized. Even in TWRP or "Download Mode/ Firmware Update" Nothing happens no drivers installing or anything even but it does boot it up to that point....and its just normal boot up i see the LG logo and my led goes from green to blueish in a smooth transition and it doesnt stop until i turn it off. The method i got into recovery is holding all those buttons down its not a problem for me to get into it. I also have another problem it doesn't seem to want to mount my usb otg by samsung.

what do i do
So i tried the otg route but I can't mount it. I have everything connected and once I go into recovery to mount usb-otg, nothing happens.
I just need some way to get a ROM.zip in my phone
Computer does not recognize my phone.
Stuck at LG logo unless I enter recovery.
Sideload doesnt work.
OTG doesnt work.
I've tried at least 4 different guides with no luck.

Why don't you manually install drivers from online?

ive tried

ive tried that already and it doesnt list anything from the LG folder.
I realized the phone will say start the adb sideload feature. so, when i put the "abd sideload file.zip" command on my pc i just wait a few minutes and it says daemon not running on port 5037 and then start successfuly and then error :device not found.
it can seem to reognize my device wether its in recovery, or download mode or fastboot mode.

Try again in other pc that has never been conected to an LG Phone before. It can perfectly be a conflict with drivers installed in the OS.

I've tried man
AFter i cleaned the usb port in one of the chats or forums, i waited a day ovbiously without turning on the phone and cleaned the usb port with alchohal and a q tip and i plugged my phone into my computer and my PC detected something but it only says "Unknown Device" everytime no matter what pc i use it says that. nothing else. but before that none of my pcs would detect theirs a phone plugged in at all.

No there is no problem with your USB cord or port. You need to do following steps.

Check if you are able to access download mode.
If not, check if you can go to recovery.
If both fails, then follow this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142

The battery. BTW you don't need the otg USB you can use adb command while on twrp.
Oh yea the twrp used many layer of locking you need to swap again and again
