[q] problems with my lg gt540

Question [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....

Wrong section, this is P970 section not GT540.

Galaxy Ace Possible Bricked But Why?

GT-S5830
ive had this phone for 3 weeks and i bought an 8GB MicroSD card for it. all of a sudden i couldnt recieve texts messages it kept saying memory full so i deleted a few apps id downloaded and yet still the same problem... i then deleted all the text messages but still had the same problem and had no idea how to fix it. I took to google and was advised to download Gemini file manager to move apps from my handset to my MicroSD but when i tried to transfer them it stuck on 0% and wouldnt work. Yesterday my phone switched itself off then booted back up but it stuck on the Samsung boot logo and didnt move then kept repeating this process of switching itself off and sticking at the boot logo.
I have no idea what im meant to do and if it is indeed bricked and where do i go from here?
i am on contract with Tesco and it has only been about 3 weeks. i Have no done anything to the phone like try to update it in anyway possible, can anyone please help me out here? or is it the fact ive used Gemini File Manager to move files?

Flash Stock ROM with ODIN.
Here is a guide:
http://techdraginfo.blogspot.com/2012/06/install-official-android-236-xwktm.html

how can i manage step 5
5. Enable USB Debugging in your Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 from the path “Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging”. The option of USB Debugging should be ticked.
if i cant get my phone to turn on past the samsung boot logo? and is this 100% safe?

No, boot into download mode, then use ODIN, nothing to do with debug mode.

[Q] Stuck on Motorola logo help please

Complete newb here, i haven't done any development work or even tried rooting or flashing my phone. Over the last couple of days, apps have started crashing as soon as i open them, and then yesterday i rebooted the device and it won't go past the Motorola logo. I've searched through a few threads and there isn't a simple enough answer or procedure to follow to get this working. Also most similar issues have USB debugging on etc, whereas i have no developer settings on at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated

You didn't search enough for an answer i see. But okey for the lazy i will help you, no offense
Can u access (AP)fastboot and can u boot into recovery from fastboot? Have a look at the link in my signature on how to get in fastboot and then in recovery.

Literally my first post mate, how about you cut me some slack. I spent about 4/5 hours searching last night and even took the phone apart. If there is an answer please point me in the direction of it. There are countless threads where the issue is the user has loaded their own ROM or flashed the device already or something like that, which caused the system files to become corrupted. But as i mentioned i have done nothing to the device except for a data wipe a few months back, and there doesn't seem to be any threads where this just happened out of nowhere. I have booted into fastboot, recovery and done the partition cache & data wipe and rebooted, that was my first step.

Hoho, okey, my words have offended you and I am sorry for that.
I can't simply give u an answer if you only said that it doesn't boot and u looked for something to fix it. There are many fixes for many sorts of problems. Also if I knew u have tried to wipe the cache and data I would give u a totally different answer. But u had not mentioned anything about what u had done to try to fix it.
For now, if even a data/factory reset from recovery didn't work I suggest u need to try to reflash the whole stock firmware. See in my signature the link to an index thread about the phone. U can find there the ways to reflash to your stock firmware and hopefully fix your issue.
If u need some more help to flash stock firmware, don't hesitate to ask here.

So, this is all brand new to me. I'm using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974568
The firmware is from here - http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=13
- I chose the 4.1.2 UK Retail as i purchased the phone through Virgin Mobile (UK)
Drivers and RSD 6.1.6 are now installed so will try now
Is everything right so far?

Seems to have worked, but it seems a bit different and some apps like hangouts are unavailable now, even though i had them before. The firmware i chose was UK Retail, however i am not 100% that this is the one to use as i bought it through Virgin Mobile (UK).

Hangouts should work just fine. Strange.
But nice that all works fine now

Im having the same issue described on this thread.
My phone doesnt start, it stays at the logo screen. I've tried to recover, factory reset and nothing worked. I have access to the (AP)fastboot screen.
Later then i saw this thread, i've did everything as described at your tutorial, tried all the versions of the RSD Lite (6.1.4, 6.1.5, 6.1.6), it cant detect my phone.
I've tried in two different PCs, tons of different USB ports, running as administrator, compatibility mode...the PC tells me that the USB is connected, but the RSD Lite doesnt recognise it.
I've tried using these two options of motorola drivers:
- motohelper_2.1.40_driver_5.5.0.exe (that i found at your post)
- MotorolaDeviceManager_2.4.5.exe (found another similar tutorial on the internet)
Am i missing something?
I would really appreciate any help.
Thanks!

did you boot first into Fastboot-mode before you connect to pc?
1. Install Driver + RSD Lite
2. Boot into fastboot + connect USB
3. Start RSD Lite

Yep. Thats exactly what i did.
I tried only using Windows 8.1. Is it compatible?
I will test on a win7 PC later.
UPDATE:
Worked RSD Lite on Win7, it found my phone. I belive RSD Lite doesnt work on Win 8.1 (at least on my PC and notebook).
I believe my firmware version is this one:
Android 4.1.2 Blur_Version.982.50.29002.XT890.Vivo.en.BR Vivo Brasil 537.6 MiB
Can i use the Retail version without problems? (this one: Android 4.1.2 Blur_Version.982.50.29.XT890.Brasil.en.BR Retail Brasil 532.8 MiB)
Thanks!

Finally got my phone working again!
I got it running RSD Lite 6.1.6 on Win 7 and used the same Firmware version that i had (in my case: Android 4.1.2 Blur_Version.982.50.29002.XT890.Vivo.en.BR Vivo Brasil 537.6 MiB), not the Retail one.
Also used the MotorolaDeviceManager_2.4.5.exe that i got from Motorola website.
My phone now is up and running like charm, no apps or configs lost, everything seems perfect (and also a little bit faster). Not sure what caused my issue, did nothing but normal use.
I hope everyone with the same problem can find this easy solution and follow the right steps (and maybe avoid Win8 to do the process).
Thank you guys for all the information :good:!

Good it is solved. It can happen to anyone. Just a small coruption or miss configuration can take out the android system. Luckily this almost never happens and u were just unfortunate.

"Data partition was damaged seriously! and you are recommended to format it to recover your phone"
now i know what this means and i seriously cant afford to lose any data , as in i have alot of my research notes and some valuable pictures , is there any possible way i can recover any data (not important) , is there any magic trick to get it back up and running or any hope?

The message itself sounds sketchy to me. More like a virus message than a proper one advising of a serious problem.
But, if you wipe and restart, do the very basic setup to be able to get onto playstore and download something like disk digger to recover deleted media. The less you do prior to this increases the chance of more successful recoveries

If your phone can't wipe/reset it would suggest ab actual storage issue, eg damage. Can you get it connected to a pc at all to refresh firmware? Eg fastboot/download mode or something?

Where is it saying this?
Pre OS? Whilst in the OS?
Can you get in the phone?
Notes / pictures, have you backed up to the cloud, personally use Google sync to photos and keep for mine, safe as houses, for the most part
If you're unable to boot your phone then recover it using the available methods.
Hisuite
ERecovery if possible
Flash via fastboot if possible using an extracted firmware
*You'd need to flash each partition individually to do this, I wrote a guide on it a while back.
Chances are it'll wipe your data though which is the whole point of a wipe, recovery may just repair the OS.
If the message is within the OS and you're booted then back up then scan for viruses.
Never seen this before, have you modified your device at all? What did you do?

no recovery

i cant get to fast boot, i cant get to recovery
it boots and takes about 5 mins to get to mandarin screen
when translated
it says
EMUI
reboot
recovery
clear cache
safemode
anything i choose it fails
(except reboot, that brings me back to same screen in 5 mins)

It stays on this logo screen for
5 to 7 mins
Then it
Goes to this screen with the mandarin

i dont know solution for recover data, btw maybe flashing will help for this phone ? u dont create any backup on gogle account ? check online on www that u can create one

This really seems like a flash of the wrong software gone wrong. Eg cn version instead of lgrp. If it's just done it after no such thing I'd contact Huawei for repair and make sure they can flash and not replace board etc.
If it is damaged storage then some data loss is quite likely no matter which way you go. If you can't access at least base level functionality you have no real hope of data recovery other than by professional means maybe. As the ic would need to be read directly

i more concerned if the phone is even recoverable at all

Huawei are your best bet ad long as what you're saying is accurate and you were using proper Google software and no rooting and messing about etc. They'll probably just change the board.

i did no form of flashing at all
what actually happened was that i was using phone clone from this phone to the new mate 20 i have now
so the p20 was on for a while and actually got really hot for some reason , and it was also connected to PC (doing file transfers )
then it started rebooting into this mode

Don't believe so as this shows as a different drive to the phones main storage, so quite possibly a different ic so as to remain intact and untouched during updates etc. Just shows hardware wise the phone is connecting so it is definitely a storage issue.
You may have to ask for someone's assistance with trying a test point recovery if you're technically minded
Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

Connect a cable, boot to fastboot, you should be able to boot to that.
Then flash a firmware, one component at a time
