Hi forum - I updated my GT540Go to 2.1-update 1. V20a a few months ago using the kdz method and i think i rooted it, I have the superuser icon but some apps say i still need root access??? and would like to go to 2.2 openswift (newest version with most bugs fixed) with recovery and overclock.
Now when i connect to PC Suite IV it says i have an update available so my first question is what will it update my phone to if i do it?
I have now read/watched everything i can find about flashing to 2.2 but it all still looks too complicated, Is there a proper step by step guide anywhere that i can use with some confidence?
Please help me and others like me who are confused how to use ADB and SDK
Thanks.
Best to wait until OpenSwift is out of beta and is nearly complete then install. Really no point in upgrading now if you don't know how to do it.
I am a newb and managed to flash to 2.2 with a guide I found at the android forums. Would be happy to post it here if it might help.
Love the new rom its faster and aside from camera not saving pics and no screen calibrator it is fine.

This is a guide I followed from another forum, and posted elsewhere with some minor additions in case anyone had problems.
The guide is from a forum post at the android forums,it is NOT my work, the added bits are mostly what I have found from browsing here and from asking questions. While I can't be held liable if you mess your phone up having done so myself I thought this could helpa few people and save them searching various threads for answers so hope it helps
The guide
To install this ROM you need to have fastboot enabled on your phone. If you have Android 1.6/2.1 installed from LG, then fastboot is not enabled. I will explain how to enable fastboot on your phone (this involves re-flashing/replacing your currently installed firmware):
I am unable to post links yet so you will have to copy and paste the appropriate link into your browser replacing the ** with tt
KDZ Updater Carphone Warehouse Unlocked.zip can be downloaded at h**p://goo.gl/7aRTc - A link to a zip archive with all the files needed to flash to Android version 2.1 with fastboot (Carphone Warehouse Unlocked)
KDZ Updater Europe Open.zip can be downloaded at h**p://goo.gl/BOcYT - A link to a zip archive with all the files needed to flash toAndroid version 2.1 with fastboot (Europe Open)
Download the version that best applies to you, if you live in the UK, I'd recommend you download the Carphone Warehouse Unlocked version, whereas if you live in Europe, I'd recommend the Europe Open version (simple right? )
I live in the UK and used the open rom from Europe as the Carphone Warehouse rom would not install
Now, how to flash these versions; I'll explain in detail how to flash the ROM's from starting with backing up.
Instructions to install ROM with Fastboot:
1. Before you start, make sure you backup all your data by installing the z4root.1.3.0.apk file onto your phone, then open it and choose 'Permanent Root'. Your phone will root and reboot. Then go to the Market and install 'MyBackup Root', open it and do a backup of your apps and personal data (contacts, sms, call log etc.) Once this is done, go to Settings>SD Card and Phone Storage>Unmount SD Card, a notification in the notification bar should appear saying 'SD Card safe to remove'. Remove the battery cover and remove the SD card and store it in a safe place. Then continue to step 2.
2. Extract the .zip file you downloaded to your computer (e.g. your desktop). Open the folder and install MSXML 4.0 SP3 Parser (msxml.msi).
3. Once that has finished, install LGAndroidDriver_WHQL_ML_Ver1.0_All_Win7.exe which are the drivers so your computer will recognize your phone.
4. Next, open KDZ_FW_UPD.exe
(i) Change 'Type' to '3GQCT' *THIS IS A MUST, THE UPDATE WILL NOT WORK OTHERWISE AND YOU MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE*
(ii) Make sure 'PhoneMode' is set to 'DIAG'
(iii) Browse for the 'V20B_00+Fastboot.kdz' file.
5. 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 wait for the drivers to install for the phone.
6. Click 'Launch software update' and do not use your computer until the update is complete. The update will take roughly 10-20 mins to complete.
If you have a problem with this try a different rom, this guide offers two to choose from.
Instructions to install CyanogenMod:
Once the update is complete, your phone will reboot, what you need to do is power off the phone and whilst the phone is off, press and hold the 'Camera' button all the way ANDpower on the phone, make sure you hold the 'Camera' button. The phone will display the LG logo and disappear, then display a blank screen. The phone is now in fastboot mode!
Now you want to download this file: Flashing CyanogenMod.zip and extract it to a folder called 'Android' (without the quotes '') on the C: drive (you'll probably need to make this folder yourself.
1. Now open CMD with administrator privileges (Search for CMD in the start menu and right click on 'cmd' and click 'Run as Administrator' )
2. Connect the phone to your computer via USB cable and wait for the necessary drivers to install.
If when connected with a usb cable the computer says "waiting for device" and nothing else happens try installing the fastboot drivers. You can do this by going to the control panel of your pc, from the Windows start menu, opening the list of devices and where you see the one representing your phone (likely, as was the case with me, it will say android and have a yellow exclamation mark over it). Different versions of Windows do things slightly different but what you need to do is simply update the driver by choosing the icons properties box choosing UPDATE or INSTALL DRIVER and when asked pointing it to the folder where you unzipped the drivers.
3. Then go back to the cmd window and type:
Code:
cd C:\Android
(i) Then type:
Code:
fastboot.exe -w
(ii) Once that's completed, type:
Code:
fastboot.exe erase system
(iii) Once that's completed, type:
Code:
fastboot.exe flash system system.img
(iv) Once that's completed, type:
Code:
fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
(v) Once that's completed, type:
Code:
fastboot.exe reboot
4. Your phone will now reboot with CyanogenMod 6.1.1 (Android 2.2.1). The first boot might take longer than a normal boot.
If your phone stays at a blank screen you simply forgot to do one of the above steps, in which case simply repeat them. It is likely if that happens that you simply forgot the flash boot image instruction.
5. You can now re-insert your SD card and go to Settings>SD Card and Phone Storage>Mount SD Card
Enjoy!
The instructions for flashing both the firmware with fastboot and flashing CyanogenMod are included in the zip archives called 'Readme'. I'll update the links so that you'll always have the most up to date version of CyanogenMod available for download, note that if you choose to update your phone you will loose all your data including apps etc. so backup before you update
And that, with a few comments added by myself, is the guide.
Once you have set your phone up the way you want power off your phone. Hold the HOME and POWER buttons down while the LG logo appears and you will see a menu appear on screen.
Using the volume down key to navigate the different menu choices, and the camera button to select an option choose the BACKUP OR RESTORE option and from the sub menu that it will give you choose BACKUP.
This will make a backup of your phone AND all your data, if you ever mess up an update or think you have damaged your phone in the future simply holdthe POWER and HOME buttons down and when the menu appears choose the RESTORE option
Perfect.

Either one will be fine. Those are just for temporary Rom because they have fastboot. You wont be keeping them.
Sent from my GT540 by MBt
little question... how long does it takes to complete the process? my phone is on download mode for like 30 minutes.. kinda nervous here, its stuck at:
3GQCT : wParam = 205, IParam = 0
btw, internet should be on?
What!? You sure u followed the instructions very carefully? Using the KDZ updater tool and correct settings?
yes, followed step by step
What happens if I cancel the process?
Well...which step are you on at the moment?
Step Complete : C Drive Erase
Wo wo wo...so it's done? Finish flashing v2.1 on ur android with fastboot?
dont understand, its done?
Well...what's happening on screen in the updater? Does your phone reboot now? No more safe mode?
If it is rebooting then it's done. Now all you have to do is get into fastboot mode which means holding CAMERA + POWER when turning on your phone.
on the phone is still download mode and the last line on the updater is:
3GQCT : wParam = 205, IParam = 0
Did you uncheck "Mass Storage Only" in the phone before you flashed? That may be ur problem....or try unmounting the SD.
yea, I think mass storage only was off, and sd card isnt in
What about USB debugging mode? That needs to be checked.
Hi?
I'm posting this thread for all those who want to root their tablet but need a step by step guide for the same. I have condensed the information from many threads and put it into one. All the credit goes to the respective thread owners who have posted the guides. Let's begin:
NOTE: Im not responsible if you brick your device. You are solely responsible for what happens. If you follow the steps correctly it is unlikely that it will harm your device. If you face any issues you can post it here and I will try to solve them ( or someone else will). All good.
Scary stuff apart, let's begin to root your device ?
1. On your device, Go to Settings, Developer Options, and click on Enable USB Debugging. If there is no Developer Options in Settings, Click on About Phone and click 7 times on Build Number. This will give u the option.
2. Once you have enabled it, connect your device to your computer via USB cable.
3. Install the device drivers from the autoplay options.
4. Right click on My Computer and click on Manage
5. A new window will open called Computer Management, under which u have to click on Device Manager.
6. A list of devices connected to your computer will be shown on the right hand side.
If your device is listed under heading Android, as Android ADB Composite Device, then there is no need to download and install adb/fastboot drivers, and you can go ahead with the rooting process.
But its most likely your device will be listed under Other Devices. Under that it will be as MTP device or by the name of your device itself. This means you have to download and install adb/fastboot drivers on your computer before rooting it.
7. Open your browser and click on http://adbdriver.com/upload/adbdriver.zip which will download the adb installer on your computer. Run through the setup and install it. Run the program, it will automatically detect your device and install the necessary adb/fastboot drivers for it on your computer.
Alternatively, you can click on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118 through which you can install the same. I did it with the first method for my device.
Download and install it in [C drive].
8. Once the drivers are installed, go to Device Manager again (Step 4 and 5), and check on the list of devices. Your device should be listed under the heading Android, and showing as Android ADB Composite Device.
9. Open up C drive, there should be a folder named 'adb' under it. Open that folder and right click anywhere and open a command prompt.
U can also press 'Win+R' keyboard keys and type in 'cmd.exe' to open up a command prompt and use the cd command to come into the right folder. Once your into the adb folder in the command prompt (it should show as "C://adb>".
Type in command 'adb devices' and press enter (without the colons).
This should show you that your device is connected by the name of your chipset as Baytrail******. If it doesn't show this it means the adb drivers are not installed or ur device is not connected to the computer. Only once after it detects your device you have to go ahead with your rooting process.
10. After you have successfully completed all the above steps you are now ready to root your device.
11. Click on this link forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57543871&postcount=1 from where you will have to download 'Intel Fastboot Tethered Temporary Recovery Session Launcher' onto your computer and extract it to some folder.
12. Download the UPDATE SuperSU zip file to your device and store it in your internal memory so you can find it easily later.
13. Now open the folder where you have extracted the Intel Fastboot Tethred Temporary Recovery Session launcher. Double click the launcher.bat file to start and type " ACCEPT " case sensitive without quotes to continue.
check that the tool is reporting as either :
DEVICE STATUS: ADB-ONLINE
DEVICE STATUS: FASTBOOT-ONLINE*
If " DEVICE STATUS: UNKNOWN " please check your cable connection and driver installation under Windows Device Manager
If " DEVICE STATUS: UNAUTHORIZED "
Please check if your devices is displaying an authorization prompt.
Be sure to check 'Always allow from this computer' and then press ok.
It will ask for the type of recovery u would prefer to run. Options 1-4 will be TWRP recovery and 5 will be CWM. I selected the CWM recovery. So enter number '5' and press enter.
14. It will display the list of triggers to be selected for the rooting process. Select the trigger to launch the Temporary CWM Recovery Session.
The list will be as follows:
T1 oem startftm ( very few devices support this command , but its the original used so )
T2 oem backup_factory ( limited devices support this command )
T3 oem stop_partitioning ( should work on alot of kitkat builds )
T4 oem stop_partitioning ( probably works on all devices that are supported (Jellybean , KitKat , Lollipop)
15. Select trigger 'T4' if you have upgraded your tablet to Lollypop Android 5.0.1. After selecting the trigger your device should reboot into fastboot and begin to copy files to your device.
note :*If your device hangs at the waiting-for-device screen and you see droidboot CMD Waiting on your devices double check that the fastboot driver installed correctly.
note :*If you see unknown oem command the trigger isn't supported by your device.
16. The temporary cwm recovery session will start at this point on your device.
17. Select install zip from the recovery menu using vol up / vol down to navigate and power to select.
18. Select install zip from sdcard / external_sd depending on where you placed the file and select the UPDATE-SuperSU-vX.Xx.zip you downloaded earlier
19. Confirm the installation.
20. After install completes reboot your device*through the reboot device option in the recovery menu itself.
21. It's going to take a while for the device to reboot. 'Android is upgrading' window will pop up once the screen gets on. After the boot is complete open all apps to see Super SU installed in it.
Now you have successfully rooted your Yoga Tablet 2. Enjoy ☺
NOTE: Follow all steps carefully and correctly so it becomes highly unlikely that you may brick your device. Make sure there is no powercut to your computer during the rooting process if you are not using a laptop or a UPS for your system. You can post any queries or questions in the thread.
All credit goes to the original thread owners, social-design-concepts, workdowg for helping all yoga tablet users to be able to root their devices.
A lot of work has gone into making this NOOB friendly step by step guide. Hit thanks if this helps you. Much appreciated. Have fun rooting.☺
Posted from my Rooted Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 (830LC).
Much appreciated for this noob guide.
Thanks for the tutorial.

Step 8 and 9. Check under command prompt. It should show the name Baytrail***** when you type in the command "adb devices". Only then u can go ahead.

Hey i think i have the solution for your problem because everytime i am facing the same issue
That means at first adb drivers are shown as installed correctly within the window of the 'Intel Fastboot Tethered Temporary Recovery Session Launcher' tool. But after my tablet reboots into fastboot via method t4 it always says "No valid installer medium found".
Note: I have these adb drivers installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
So here is my solution that works for me: (this is my first post so i cant provide any screenshots.. )
1. let the tablet stay within the fastboot mode
2. in windows: navigate to the device manager --> there you should see the symbol "android phone" with a yellow triangle
3. right click on this symbol and choose the first option "update drivers" (sry i don't know if i translated it correctly xD)
4. choose the option "search on pc .."
5. there you select the second option "choose from a list.."
6. within the list you select 'android device'
7. within the next list you select 'google nexus adb device'
8. after that the drivers are installing and the recovery starts on your tablet :fingers-crossed:

Hey i think i have the solution for your problem because everytime i am facing the same issue
That means at first adb drivers are shown as installed correctly within the window of the 'Intel Fastboot Tethered Temporary Recovery Session Launcher' tool. But after my tablet reboots into fastboot via method t4 it always says "No valid installer medium found".
Note: I have these adb drivers installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
So here is my solution that works for me: (this is my first post so i cant provide any screenshots.. )

After doing some digging around I stumble across this gem, Video works, and files worked for me on my Tmobile S7 Edge.
Follow the steps complete and you'll be able to bypass FRP.
1.) Download and install RealTerm program included in above package
2.) Download and copy frpbypass-1.0.apk to the device micro sd card or download once into the device
3.) Start phone and connect to WIFI also plug into the computer with your usb cable Read more at
4.) Start RealTerm on your pc and under display check the box HALF DUPLEX.
5.) Right click on my computer and select manage once it opens click device manager then modems
6.) Under modems you should see a Samsung device. right click it then select properties
7.) Once the properties window opens select modem tab and see what port it is on like com5 for an example
8.)Now that you know the com port number close all device manager windows and open RealTerm again
9.)Under the ports tab in RealTerm enter your port number then click change
10.) Next click the send tab. you will need to send following two commands with the Send ASCII button
11.) First –> at+creg?\r\n
12.) Then –> atd1234;\r\n
13.) Look at your phone and the dialer will pop up.
14.) now press on scan bussiness card, and install es file downloader and insert in SD or OTG, and install FRPBYPASS APK.

I believe it was 6.0 marshmallow. I do know that its no longer working for the newer version. I havent look into it but the idea is to get pass any screen that would allow you to install the apk via. 3rd party you can frp reset with the same apk file. (sometimes requiring you to push different buttons in certain order or speed)

True. I've watched the video a few times, and the goal is just to get to the place where you can interact with the phone and run that file. I want to say I made it most of the way through this method before, when I first started. But I was only beginning. So I didn't know about ROMs, and versions, and such. Now, i realize it wouldn't work because I had 7.0 and the menus and such differ. Anyway, off to try again. Sigh.

Disable Antivirus.
Install drivers from my pack:
right click on HTCDriver.exe > click on Run as administrator and continue the setup.
Connect HTC One (while phone on) to PC, let drivers install.
In Windows explorer, HTC One should be available.
### If not make sure phone connection is in File transfer mode (see Android notifications).

Collect all personal photos, videos, etc ... and backup these on PC.
Use an app like Backupyourmobile/SMS Backup & Resotre to backup texts, contacts, etc.
Check that backup is located on microSD card.
Then copy the backup on your PC.
Disconnect phone.
Check that you have the latest official updates.
### If your phone is Simlocked/carrier locked/Network locked, don't go further.
Visit official website of your network carrier (or call their support) to retrieve your desimlock code.
Ask them for details on how to remove simlock.

##################################################
A) Fastboot devices doesn't show any device connected
Install HTC USB drivers
Reboot PC
Open Windows Device Manager (Windows + R shortcut on keyboard > devmgmt.msc > hit Enter)
Search for phone at Other devices submenu > Device is named Android 1.0 or My_HTC
### If it is My_HTC > select it > right click > Uninstall. Disconnect phone. Reconnect phone. Now recognised as Android 1.0.
Select device Android 1.0 > right click > Update Driver
Search locally for driver > Show a list
Select ASUS Android Device.
Manufacturer: select Google, Inc. and set driver to Android Bootloader Interface
Confirm install.
B) Go back to stock from a custom ROM with a HTC One M8
- Either restore your TWRP backup with TWRP recovery
- Or restore a community TWRP backup with TWRP recovery (https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860 see posts 2 & 3)
### With S-ON and keep device Unlocked
To find suitable backup for device, boot phone in Bootloader mode (Power + Volume-)
Look at your hboot version (hboot 3.19.0000 is most frequent)
Launch a fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
Make sure IMEI is a valid number.
Look at your CID and MID values. Try to find exact same TWRP backups for your phone.
### Flash only exact model versions.
Then wipe all partitions and restore the correct TWRP backup an angel made for you.
- If TWRP restore fails, start with these posts :
You will need a Rom Update Utility (RUU) for your exact model version.
This is compatible with S-ON, will need to relock your Bootloader (save your Unlock_code.bin +++) and need original recovery

Hi, I updated pack with latest Magisk root version and checked download links.
For Windows 10 users, use HTC drivers version v4.17.0.001 - Download them from here - Zippyshare.com - HTC Mobile Driver v4.17.0.001.exe
Everything else works just fine. @djibe89 thank you.

Hi,
I'm at the stage of trying to unlock the bootloader. The phone restarts in fastboot mode but when i type in fastboot devices nothing happens.
and then if i skip that and type get_identifier_token. the return is waiting for any devices. and nothing happens.
What have I missed?
Thanks
i've since been able to get past this stage. I used htc driver 4.17. I'm now stuck on the token. cmd prompt keeps saying cannot load the file no such file or directory. but i'm so sure i have the file in the right folder
