Phone Bricked, solutions? suggests? - GT540 Optimus Android Development

well, i just bricked my gt540 when decided to downgrade from 2.3 to 2.1...the process with the kdz flasher stops in the middle and now the phone is dead, totally! dont boot at all so.. in internet there is no info about how to fix this, so for people like me, that have no warranty or place to send the device maybe somebody with knowledge can help us with the jtag digram maybe? or another solution...well that is all. thanks in advance

flash 2.1 fastboot rom with kdz updater again, then go into fastboot and flash clockworkmod recovery/ or flash 2.2/2.3 with android sdk

Hello i has been in your place, only put your phone in download mode (volume - + button on/off) connect your phone again and install the rom with KDZ

Like Hani said: "flash 2.1 fastboot rom with kdz updater again, then go into fastboot and flash clockworkmod recovery/ or flash 2.2/2.3 with android sdk"
Do that, flash 2.1 fastboot and clockwork kdz over KDZ UPDATER, then it needs to work

Please actually read, his phone cannot boot into download or emergency mode.so he cant flash any ROMs. This happened to me, My power went out while flashing a KDZ. Try taking your phone back to the store and see what they say (don't tell them you flashed!), they fixed mine (considering I voided the warranty) or if they won't fix, there is a place online somewhere who when you send them your phone, they jtag it and fix it for you. I'll have a look for the link again.
Hope it helps,

Sounds like you screwed the startup part of the kernel like I did ages ago, I just took it bk to shop and said it wouldn't turn on

yes, like aaa801 says it seems that the start part its dead, thats terrible because i have no warranty and send it to another country to fix it costs almost same that buy a new one...what i must to do? it sounds that theres no hope...

Take it to your local retailer lg ofcourse and him to it for you.....he'll take some charges!

flash a fastboot rom and boot your phone into fastboot mode
then (after u installed adb tool) u open cmd.exe and change the folder (u need the folder where the "fastboot.exe" is)
then u type in
"fastboot.exe -w"

My friend. Instead of doing the JTAG yourself (which is really not easy because you will have to soldier things on the board itslef because it is not prepared for this) I suggest you use this service:
http://www.fonefunshop.co.uk/cable_..._Repair_Service_(mail_in_repair_service).html
Not expensive, and it shoud do the needed.
Hope this helps.

I would really like apreciate some JTAG schematics...there are several sites on internet that offer this service hopefully somebody will tell us how to do it...

You need a device called a "RIFF Box" which go from around £110 to £150. So using the above purchase would be a better option

I think your phone is not bricked.
My friend have a GT540 and nothing shows in the screen until the phones finishes booting.
What I did to flash SwiftDroid? I ran the commands to flash it via fastboot and the terminal said "waiting for device". I turned the phone off, turned it on in fastboot mode. Nothing showed on the screen, but my terminal managed to flash the ROM.
Have you already tried that?
Good luck

It's nothing to worry about, its a boot.img issue. I will get the original 2.1 boot.mbn from the kdz, convert it to img then you can just flash it in fastboot.
Here you go:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5183281/2.1_v20b_boot.img
Just flash it in fastboot.
If you wonder how I converted mbn -> boot.img, search 4pda for mur4ik's mbn2boot tool.

just wondering if this problem doesnt get sorted, and if i take it back to carphone warehouse tommorow and tell them that i was updating to 2.1 through LG mobile tool software will they fix it for me or give me another one
Say that LG PC Suite prompted you for an update, but crashed half way through updating, they will most likely change the internals or send off to LG to fix it.

Sounds plausable, go for it. I wouldn't imagine them saying 'no', they know full well how crappy the normal updater is. Good luck.
I think I will take it back but aren't there any solutions for this problem.
If you are going to return it, I suggest fully bricking it. That way you will probably get a new motherboard, and solve your old 'bad block boot' problem. Just start a KDZ flash and remove the usb cable around a quarter of the way through. They will surely accept it, well, they did with mine anyway.
Good luck.
Is it solved? How bout go to download mode and flash flashboot kdz via kdz updater.
I fix my (2nd) Linux Kernel Panic this way.

Had the Same prob (FIXED)
Download a Fastboot KDZ. Here:
Put your phone into Download Mode (Volume Down + Power)
Run KDZ Updater
Once Flashed boot into fastboot (Camera+Power)
Open CMD and Direct to where ADB and fastboot are (cd C:\android\adb)
type
Code:
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot
Tips: If you cannot connect Use the Back Ports of the PC not the Front ones.

[Q] Help unbrick device

After installing Vanir, I don't know what went wrong !!! it was freezing then after trying to charge it, it bricked!!!!
I searched the forume and found major two ways
FIRST
RuedasLucas Here :

i followed the info. correctly and stuck in the same problem the man in the thread have, I am stuck in LG logo
so i tied the second
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40174748&postcount=9&nocache=1
and i am stuck in installing " LGmobile Support Tool " because i am in windows 8 and it is not compitable with it. every time trying to install it seems not responding.
so i am stuck now and donot know how to unbrick it !!! no one tell me to set up win 7 because i donot have one
The LG support tool works fine on my Windows 8 64-bit version. Look for the thread on 'Flashing a KDZ with pictures' and follow it to the letter.
did u install gapps ? vanir installation never had a problem. about windows 8 x64 i can confirm the support tool is working because i had them some months ago ( now im on ubuntu x64 ).
and its not a good idea if on some little mistake u try go back to stock. the reason u tried flash vanir was to go away from stock. if u flash back to stock then in a few days will want to flash again a custom. so try again and do it right !
also dont take off battery. no need. maybe this battery trick is history. i never did that. i just long pressed power to reboot and then i just pressed a few times the vol down ( not hold ).

Try disabling any anti-virus first just to make sure that's not interfering. I've never heard of the proces freezing there before.

The first thing to do if it sticks on the LG Logo is to boot into the LG recovery and do a factory reset - just to make sure. You often have to do this after flashing a new KDZ anyway.

i told you earlier at my post here , that you dont need to flash kdz and go back to stock if ur final goal is a custom rom. u could reinstall recovery using adb bootloader. nevermind -_- u just do things harder for u. bootloader is unlocked u cant unlock the unlocked. bootloader isnt locking again when u just force the stock rom in. there is another procedure u must do to lock it. u can install recovery ( if u havent ) and just install a custom rom
EDIT: you dont need this anymore but ill explain.
adb is used to force files into the device. its a way to communicate with the phone using the pc. u can use the adb to install whatever u like but if u are not sure that the thing u are trying to install is ok for the device, then u will have a problem.
so , since your bootloader is already unlocked, you can go in adb bootloader and force the recovery in.
open cmd:
Lets say i use the teamwin recovery. ill rename it to be easy and save it to desktop. my file is: recovery.zip
open cmd as administrator and go to desktop: cd .....[path to ur desktop]
1. adb start-server
2. adb reboot bootloader
3. fastboot fash recovery recovery.zip
thats it. 3 commands is 10 seconds work. u dont need to go back to stock rom to install a custom rom.

Urgent advice needed on Razr i XT890

hi, my phone Razr i XT890 is showing the Red Moto Logo, I tried to factory reset by going into fastboot also but nothing happened, I can find many thread here about the same problem but nothing conclusive could be found in those threads, hence I sent my phone for repairs, the technician hooked it up to a computer and said that most likely it is a software issue and the phone would be ok, after waiting for an hour I was told that the emmc has died and it cannot be replaced and the only solution would be to change the motherboard, since the mother board is not avaible in the market I looked it up on aliexpress and it costs around 70$ where as a new/refurbished phones are listed for 75$, need you guys advice on whether it can be repaired or not and if yes then how. I am a regular user and not an expert like you guys so if you suggest any thing plz do it in detail. FYI its a factory unlocked phone which had jelly bean OS and I never rooted it or did any hanky panky to it. Thanks
What u could try to test if the mechanic is right (I suppose he is), is to flash stock firmware by hand and see what the device gives for error.
If the error is an i/o error the emmc is corrupted and we can't help that. It will need a replacement of the motherboard.
To test it, extract all images from the stock firmware. Then flash them while your Phone is in fastboot modes and connected to your pc, like this:
Use a compatible fastboot executable like mfastboot.
- fastboot flash boot boot_signed
- fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed
- fastboot flash system system_signed
- fastboot erase cache
- fastboot erase userdata
Every one of them should return an "OK". If there is an error in one of them that partition is most likely damaged and if u can't boot in recovery there is most likely no turning back.

If it all says OK, u should have a working device. No doubt about that. But if one of them doesn't we found the issue. Most likely i/o. Can u still boot to recovery? Or is that even impossible, because u said u tried a factory reset?

thanks a ton!!!
hi, guys sorry for posting so late, was super busy, any how haven't got a mechanic to flash the phone, guess I will have to do it myself, request you to answer my queries
.1) a mechanic to whom I went convinced me to believe that the problem was due to a faulty battery and he could fix it in 5 mins flat, He opened the phone did some tinkering with it, I am not sure what but the phone was in same condition ie Red logo on booting. Was very disappointed came back home and I tried to restore it through fast boot and I noticed that the Battery Current was coming as 4.1 V earlier it was 3.7 !!! I am sure that the mechanic messed it up. Now my question is will it harm the phone, battery or any other part?? Should I just leave it the way it is ie 4.1V and not try to rectify it to bring it to 3.7V.
.2) I am not able to get a mechanic who can flash the phone as suggested in previous posts, pl tell how I can do it myself, I am a newbie at this and have zero knowledge of the process, pl tell what all software are needed! And hardware if any. All I have got currently is the firmware posted in previous posts.
Thanks

Have you tried it from your PC?
fastboot reboot-bootloader
How can you run fastboot commands if your not in fastbbot-bootloader?
"my phone doesn't enter into fast boot mode"
(General message - see what I did there? No need to repeat the entire post. Just the part I'm responding to.)
Does this mean that you can't get to bootloader? Is your bootloader unlocked? When you reboot do you see the open padlock symbol?
So what did you do to brick your device?

With USB connected, from a cmd prompt I do:
adb devices (to load the drivers and make sure my phone is recognized)
adb reboot bootloader (this should put you in bootloader mode)
fastboot devices (just to be sure my phone is still recognized)
fastboot flash radio radio.img (or whatever image you want to flash)
fastboot reboot-bootloader (in between flashes, just to be safe)
I do so hate it when people don't bother to read my posts properly. It takes away my incentive to try to help them...
"No need to repeat the entire post. Just the part I'm responding to."
"So what did you do to brick your device?" Install the custom ROM you mention?
And a new question. You say "no matter wat buttons i press". Does that include the bootloader power & volume down simultaneous press for maybe 30 seconds?
So there are 3 items in this post. Can I have 3 responses please? The first will be not copying this entire post all over again, the other two will be answers to my questions.

Do you have a working recovery you can access?
And stay away from toolkits. Learn to flash manually. It's easy and you know what part goes wrong. Tool kits are nice in automation, but when something happens ya don't have a decent idea where to start.

Do you have a working recovery you can access?
And stay away from toolkits. Learn to flash manually. It's easy and you know what part goes wrong. Tool kits are nice in automation, but when something happens ya don't have a decent idea where to start.

Question IDK Redmi 10S

Hi there.
I wanted to root a Redmi 10S device. Bootloader was also opened. The flash went during fastboot mode, then after the fastboot reboot command, the device restarted, but it only shows "Redmi" and the word android at the bottom. I tried to access recovery and fastboot mode, but powr+volD only restarts the device and only the Redmi inscription is visible.
I don't know what they call this state in which the device is.
If there is a suitable link on the forum, I would appreciate it.
Hi there!
What did you flash excatly?
I mean, did you flash the whole phone, or just a patched boot image?

Just the boot.ini. but I think this would make fastboot mode work. But it's not working

What should I use to reflash? Mi flash? This is the NS
Yes... I probably mixed up the boot file in the downloads folder and not the correct received flash

Then, you don't have to flash the whole phone again, just flash back the original image, and try rooting with twrp and magisk zip file (rename the apk file from magisk.apk to magisk.zip, and then flash it in twrp)
If you can't install twrp, or something went wrong, take a full backup from your phone (like using google's backup service, and Miui backup--> it 'll save the backup to internal storage/miui/backup/AllBackup) and then ypu can reflash the phone with mi flash tool, but don't lock the bootloader back, and after flash, you shuold enable oem unlock in developer settings.
One quick question:
Did you enable oem unlocking in developer settings, before trying to flash the modified image?

yepp, enable oem unlock. But fastbootmode is required for all operations. But fastboot mode doesn't work.
What do you mean it doesn't work?
Can't enter into fastboot mode?

Can't enter fastboot mode. The device only shows "Redmi" lettering. If fatboot worked, I could have done it already. power+volume down, the device just restarts and shows "redmi".
Hmm..
And if you holding the volD and power buttons together for a longer time?
Like a min, or sth
I had a similar situation, but after a few tries it went into fastboot mode

it just restarts, as long as I press and hold volume down+power, if I don't press it, it just shows the redmi text
I apologise, but I 've currently ran out of ideas. If I can find any solution, I 'll post an answer about it.

Hi there the forgive my on my bad english and text.
The Only thing u can do is restoring the firmware by using brom mode, Look it up or follow the steps i'll give u....
First keep in mind brom works best Without the batary conected . So remove the thin cover plate at the back u can loosen it with heat , after removing the cover move all screws and remove the housing so u can disconect the batary at the mainboard .
Next u will have to install the Vcom drivers according your chipset mediatek etc.
For the Vcom drivers and install of it u can follow https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-16640.html
U must download or allready have a firmware file in fastboot format , Open up SP Flash tool and go to optionsd and select connection, click the w/o battery option and close it. Open your scatter file and than click on download . Insert your phone wile holding your volume down or up , with my device a redmi note 10s it was the up and down to getter for it was flashing the rom. this should flash your device back with a working fastboot and working rom.
Hope u will succeed...
Greetsss

Yep, this guy here 's got the point. If you can't flash with sp flash tool because auth fail, there's a method to bypass it.
You can find the tutorial here: https://www.getdroidtips.com/bypass-mediateks-sp-flash-tool-authentication-protection/
I also got some help from this guy's post, many thanks to him too.

Let us know how it's going with it! ;D
I can unbrick the device at any time. There is another problem. An incorrect boot file is probably being copied. After TWRP you will never enter android again. But TWRP also only loads up to the subtitle. I tried a lot of methods. Now I will try google p ex. android and make it root.
But, if someone can recommend a device intended for gaming, but easy to root, then I will buy one

If you can root it easily, then the expensive one is good for me! Normal root was not available for typical gamer phones for years. If I buy something for which root may not be available, then I'm wasting my money...
