It seems that I'm in a pickle here.

I already had swiftdroid installed but then I wanted to re-install it. So I tried but after flashing euro+fast.kdz , I got stuck in boot-loop. I tried doing the steps but I think I might be doing something wrong. Well, to get into fastboot to test if it went through would be holding the "camera" button or is it "home+camera" button during reboot? Thanks. Been at this all day.

Oh, and it appears every time I try to power on and hold the camera button first, it just goes to a black screen. So, by that have I already installed the rom properly even if it gets stuck on the android logo?
[GT540 Optimus General] thilo86:
ok i am also a noob regarding flashing and so on. i was already able to flash V20B_00.kdz onto my phone because I delete google voice after i rooted my phone and couldnt download any apps after that.

but that has nothing to do with where i am stuck right now. just to tell you what i am already able to do ;)

I was trying to put EleganceSwift 5.0 on my phone. That didnt work out to good yet, thats why i am in this thread now.

I had my phone rooted with z4root and had superuser rights, but after i flashed V20B_00.kdz and reset my phone i guess that root is no longer active.

This is where i am stuck right now

The link to download all drivers and download fastboot.exe is no longer active. I downloaded it from another source. Now i restarted my phone while pressing the camera button and have the phone connected to the USB port ("fastboot"). It just loads a black screen and windows vista wants to install an Android driver. I already installed the driver for the phone, but obviously it wants to have a different driver now. Windows won´t install the driver on its own, cant find anything. And I downloaded drivers from different sources, still doesnt work.

Any idea? I am just looking for a way to put a custom rom on my GT540. Thank you.
[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
For my win 7 I just let it install its own drivers after that it works
[GT540 Optimus General] thilo86:
hm, maybe i should just stop changing stuff on my GT540. I now did several flashs and resets and as soon as i start the phone its giving me faults for "System UIDs Inconsistent: UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your deivce will be unstable. >> I´m feeling lucky" AND "Sorry! The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. >> Force close"

I did find a way to get rid of the first fault, maybe. But since I dont even get my market back to work, i dont know if i should go on with breaking even more stuff haha
[GT540 Optimus General] cookies!:
I already had android 2.1 with superuser installed but as i was having problems getting into fastboot after installing it last time, i decied to do a factory reset.

:( However, I can't get my computer to recognise the phone ( have installed all the drivers) using windows 7, this is what i get:

Launching SW update

Unpacking KDZ

KDZ file extracted

Files were extracted

LG Mobile DL Load

Port= -1

Connecting to Phone

PHONE WAS NOT FOUND!

===FINISHED===

Please can someone help me out, I tied it a couple of months ago and it worked but was unable to get into fastboot and had to use fishears# method here

I feel really hopeless, have read so many posts and having wanted to upgrade to gingerbread for ages and failing am feeling really low.

Have also tried following this post and same thing!

Going to try and get back superuser access now

Drivers are missing
[GT540 Optimus General] elnett:
that happened to me once long time ago...what i did (after searching a lot and i mean a lot) i found the solution for me

,

Important to unisntall all the stuff that you have on the pc that belongs to the phone EX:drivers,modem,tools (dont forget to save the tools first otherwise youll have to download them again.

..restart pc .

..install drivers and modem instal KDZ,

restart pc ..

.connect phone to pc

using all the tools you have ,just need the " Europe Open+Fastboot.kdz". flash the phone with KDZ tool. DONT FORGET THE SETTINGS ON "KDZ" TOOL ----TYPE "3GQCT" AND PHONE MODE "DIAG" .

after flashing you should be able to get in to fastboot by pressing start botton+camera for 10 seconds or less,

than better use "fastbootflasherv2eng" and flash a new image +recovery+boot.

Hope it help

[GT540 Optimus General] andreas__:
1.fastboot mode on phone

2.put the correct recovery in the same directory and rename it recovery.img (or use a different command)

3.and on PC in your fastboot.exe directory via cmd:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Anybody idea?

Hi all,

I want to root my friends gt 540,because earlier I've a problem, when I went into the settings I got an error message that com.android.bla.bla.bla stopped, but I've got a big problem, I can't connet the phone with my pc. I read that I have to install drivers and lg pc suite too, okay, I did it, and nothing happened. I've tried almost 100 different drivres from 100 different sites, none of them solved my problem. When I connect the phone to the pc, it starts charging, so the USB port is ok, but I want a disk drive too... any ideas? PLeaase help!!!!

[Xperia Play Android Development] Dousan:
I have downloaded the files on my phone by long pressing and the save link. It downloaded as txt files. Then I simply renamed the files to .ko is that the correct way? I moved the files with rootexplorer and set permissions as the bcm4329.ko. But when using terminal emu it won't insmod it says:

export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH

$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH

$su

# cd /system/lib/modules

# ls

usbmouse.ko

usbkbd.ko

usbhid.ko

usb-storage.ko

bcm4329.ko

# busybox insmod usbhid.ko

insmod: can't insert '/system/lib/modules/usbhid.ko': unknown symbol in module or invalid parameter

Regards Dousan...

e: re-downloaded the files on my laptop and they downloaded as .ko files. Then pushed them with adb but i still get the same error?

I have busybox installed in /system/xbin and it's 1.18.4. The newest fw .368 and your kernel.

The board supports OTG, but the kernel doesn't have it in. If semc used the 3.0 kernel they would get it built in for them.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Kernel supports it... see the sources carefully...

Zeus board (sources) is missing few things

P.s.: we r working on porting the 3.0 kernel
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
what are the benefits of 3.0 kernel ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
You tried patching zeus board with mogami board stuff for OTG?

I know the kernel supports it, it just is not fully implemented. Anything that works on the mogami board should work on the zeus board, with the exception of WiFi modules as they use a different WiFi chipset (mogami tiwlan, zeus bcm4329).

Who is porting the 3.0 kernel? You? Jerpelea? Bin4ry? I wan't to have a look at the progress and see how far you are getting because I can't resolve some stuff over here.

Advantages of the 3.0 kernel, well, first of all, it has a higher kernel string, meaning it is an update.

My laptop (Ubuntu 11.10 64bit) is using the 3.0.0.12-generic kernel and it is FLYING, the 3.0 kernel brought masses of updates in RCU, drivers, CPU Governors and IO schedulers. if you had the 3.0 kernel for your device and you used an outdated one, you would have to be mad (that is even more mad than me, something I just found possible.)

compiling the kernel is easy, just need to execute two commands. porting it and adding stuff isn't, and I am not here to pretend that I am the best here, because I know that I am actually far from it. I only started this stuff in november.

Keiran
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
yes i tried some fixes using mogami board as reference...

kernel compiles w/o issues, device boots but the OTG component (Qualcomm chip responsible for that) doesnt seem to power on at all...

there are many more differences in mogami board and zeus board...

we, FreeXperia Team, are working on it... its not a high priority thing at the moment... but we are working on it as and when we get time...
[Xperia Play Android Development] bornotty:
prolly the wrong time to bring up this topic but really I tried this usb OTG with my friends SGS2 and its really cool and functional. Is there any chance we can see this with the latest ICS update on our XPlay ? thanks =)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Streykatorato:
Try again?
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
Why bump an ancient thread? Mod should lock this.

USB-OTG is not possible for our device, either the USB port does not have enough current or the PCB tracks are simply missing.

[Thunderbolt General] htcdesirezgeorge:
Ok guys, it's been brought to my attention that my post was

1. Cantankerous.

2. Seemingly disrespectful of devs great work on here.

3. Taken too seriously for being an internet forum.

I would like to say sorry, and explain what I mean :-) I tihnk it would be awesome to pull together the necessary funding for our very talented developers to create an XDA exclusive, completely original ROM. I'm not sure if it is possible, but something that is just for the Thunderbolt alone and isn't sense, isn't AOSP, isn't MIUI, and DEFINITELY not like Motorboat... I mean Motorblur. I think we really are on to something with the work that the Dev's are doing with taking different roms and porting them/using other roms as bases and then building from them; lets see what we can do to completely change the way that this stuff is done(if possible) by polling ideas(not unreasonable wishlists) and putting it all together. Possibly coordinating between Team BAMF, Chingy, and some other the other recognized DEV's.

What does everyone else think?
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
If it isn't sense/blur/touchwiz, it is AOSP. Miui is just modified AOSP (with no sources given back), just like all the other roms not sense/blur/touchwiz are also based on AOSP. You do know what AOSP means right? Android Open Source Project as in the android operation system that is the basis to all android phones just modded by the OEMs. What you're asking is similar to saying:

"Hey, I'm bored with linux, unix, osx and windows, can we make a new operating system totally not based on any of those for our computers?"

Perhaps rephrase your question one more time in a way that makes more sense? Third time is a winner :)
[Thunderbolt General] htcdesirezgeorge:
Ya got a point, I actually didn't know that! BUT, regardless of how its phrased, what do ya think it would require to do somethig like I mentioned? I, personally would love to see something excitingly new put out here. Like with the miui project, any chance of people putting their heads together to figure it out?
[Thunderbolt General] loonatik78:
You've got OS's and you have UI's. Obviously it is entirely possible to custom build a UI, but its FAR more difficult than porting one over or mixing and mashing parts of Sense together. UberBAMF is definitely something new and out of the box. That's more radical than anything I ever expected... Or have ever seen elsewhere. UIs do a lot to sell a device, so its worth it for HTC or Samsung to invest in building one. Not so much for a team of volunteer devs.
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
Chances are unlikely to get a new user interface geared to only one phone built from the ground up from the android source by a team for a few reasons:

1) Lack of like-minded (knowledgeable) developers for one device that are currently free. Developers are very opinionated (just from my own experience even if they don't want to admit it). What should/shouldn't go into it would be a mess to deal with and debate alone, especially since the opinions of developers are generally not the same as those that don't develop. The ones already developing most likely don't want to give up their current projects as well. Basically, the developers that want to develop already have their projects and most treat them like it's their "baby" and most likely not willing to give them up or put them on hold. That moves into issue #2

2) Time. It would take considerable amount of time and organization to do that. Probably to get something stable that's original would take longer than most people would keep their Thunderbolt. Guys that work on their phones do this part time for fun as well and that combined with other side projects would press for time.

3) True developers & designers. There's a big difference between hacking some already made stuff to work with things and actually writing object oriented software from scratch. Obviously some guys putting stuff out for the thunderbolt are true developers that code professionally and others are just hacking around making things work done by others. Both have their uses, but you need real development for something like this and I don't think there's enough of those willing.

Forgot to add that the only way change happens is to build interest, so don't let my pessimistic observations detour anyone from posting their thoughts and ideas in this thread :)
