I have never seen this posted here or anywhere but this is how I get into download EVERY time. I also don't go into every post though lol.

With the phone off hold the volume buttons down THEN plug in the usb to the phone it will go straight to download mode. USB needs to already be plugged into PC too if that wasn't obvious.

I think the way it's actually posted though is Volume +, Home button, and Power not both volumes. I have never gotten it to work that way and I stumbled onto the above way by accident.
[Vibrant General] lexluthor:
Wow, you think that would be in the guides somewhere.

Phone off, holding both vol+/vol- and then plugging usb cable into the phone put my in downloading mode.

Was I doing something completely wrong before? Why wasn't it going into download mode?

Thank you much!

Flashing now, fingers crossed.
[Vibrant General] shrty4luv:
Turn off your phone, plug your phone in and when you see the green charging. Hold the. Volume up and

Down keys and the power key until you see the download mode.
[Vibrant General] lexluthor:
Ok, so ODIN succeeded. It rebooted and got hung at the S.

I went into recovery mode, cleared the cache and rebooted again and I'm still stuck at the S?

What now?!

EDIT: Went into recovery and cleared cache again and I'm back up now.
[Vibrant General] justlovejoy:
great news! now you know how to odin. but majority of the time you will have to use a back up like titanium backup or nandroid from cwm to restore your apps and stuff. when using t-backup make sure not to select missing apps plus system data cause that can cause some force closes!
[Vibrant General] lexluthor:
Z4 mod isn't working for me on this. Should it be?

What else will root this version?
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Ur doing all right but holding power its only volume don't hold power for download mode.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prossecco:
hello

i rooted my desire with Unrevoked, already turned my sdcard to Golden card earlier...

i tried to install (the downgrade of ps3) .img file on it in the recovery mode... as i was reading on a site that you need to install it through recovery mode...(later i found out you need to install it through pc) since i'm an idiot i tried all possible features in the recovery mode... i clicked on format boot, and since then i can't get past fastboot/bootloader. (I still have access to recovery mode). i tried rerooting it with unrevoked but in fastboot/bootloader adb devices do not recognise phone. It is recognised in recovery mode (adb devices) - but unrevoked says: Device */sbin/sh: getprop: not found* is not supported at this time. I don't really know what to do to get it to normal mode. Also tried factory reset = clear storage but same story. I know i should have back-upped, but what's done is done and i guess i learned the hard way. Anyway hopefully you can help me.

ps: i read the similar title threads but no useful information to resolve this
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
Well, you say you can get in recovery, so did you try then to put a rom on the SD and flash it?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prossecco:
thanks for your help :) works like a charm :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
Good to hear that but it was a rather an obvious solution.

The hard part was to read the whole post :D .
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prossecco:
i tried to be specific in order the sollution wouldn't be as simple as that :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prossecco:
have another question :p... i'm trying to flash the ps3 downgrade img through fastboot. But i always get the message:

sending .......... OKAY

writing ˙recovery˙... INFOsignature checking...

FAILED <remote: signature verify fail>

what is wrong?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
What recovery are you using?

If you go s-off you shouldn't get this error as far as I know.

Look in development for s-off guide.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prossecco:
i'm using ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.7

I was having trouble searching using the stock browser so I just created a new thread. Is there a way to flash to stock using cwm for people who want to flash a new rom but aren't at their computer?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverslotcar:
No only Odin. Questions go in Q & A
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatoneguy99:
I find it hard to believe that there is no way to flash to stock from CWM. There has to be a way to make JH6 or something like that into a ROM that I can flash. Some way to restore to out of the box condition without a computer. I hate talking like this because I dont develope anything, and thinking that it is easy is quite nieve.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:
Bad information! You have to search Development thread a bit, it's been awhile so the answer is buried. It's not JF6 but close enough.

[HD7 General] ruscik:
I now have my HD7 for some time, since 2nd day it was launched in o2 UK to be exact.

I was at first trying to sell my HD2 but now I can not do it. The wow factor of HD7 is gone and now for me HD7 is just a phone while HD2 well can not explain.

I guess with HD2 it is better to have and not need rather then need and not have.

So how many of you at the end did not sell the HD2?
[HD7 General] dejx:
Do not sell hd2 after buying hd7. You wil be sorry, hd2 is legacy.
[HD7 General] ruscik:
Thx you defo helped me there I mean I did not want to sell it but now I DO NOT want to sell it.

For real there is something about that device, I mean first so fast, first that could run win mobile, android, ubuntu, win95 and who knows what else.
[HD7 General] rsmurdoch:
Mines for sale right now. Cant stand the lock ups, dropped calls, glitches. Sometimes I just want to make a call when I need to.
[HD7 General] ruscik:
What your HD2 did that as my one is perfect, I only got HD7 when I drowned HD2 and was waiting for replacement.
[HD7 General] dejx:
I got my HD2 and HD7 for free as price for winning some developing contest.

I gave hd2 to a friend, dont get me wrong, HD7 is perfect but i miss hd2, as i said, hd2 is the greatest winmo device no matter what. it should be there as souvenir for all developers.
[HD7 General] LuRock:
Ok obviously who ever needs the HD2 more than the HD7 is because of the options of constantly changing roms, dual booting, better GPS at the moment ect... But just as the recent comment. I loved the HD2 at one time but come on, HD2 does everything accept what a cell phone was meant for. Actually the HD2 is what made me miss having a phone that dont freeze and have glitches half of the time. Keyboard was horrible, so texting was another pain. I mean I just missed having to do the simplest things quick with no hassle or having to go thru an obstacle course. The HD7 brought all the simplicity of doing all these things and then some, quicker and faster than ever before. Yes its missing a few things some of us cant live without but I bet by the middle of 2011 that wont be a problem for them anymore. Im happy to be able to do simple things fast and easy with a touch of a new feel of something modern. Thats my thought on my HD7 :) God Bless...
[HD7 General] rsmurdoch:
Perfectly said! HD2 was great for custom stuff but just so frustrating sometimes when you just want to make a call.
[HD7 General] ruscik:
Swype keyboard is much faster then any normal touch keyboard, I could do texting 2x as fast as now.

What freezing, I am sorry but OzRom from about middle of it's development was bullet proof.

I mean yes apps will be there for HD7 but there is so much staff that will take ages as no one thinks about it at start of using the phone.

I have a conversation in sms that has now 30 messages and I can delete all (do not want to) or nothing.

Bluetooth is useless if used on anything other then headsets.

There is a lot to do yet if the phone was 100% stable. That is why I think HD2 is epic. Plenty off stuff could have been and was sorted.
[HD7 General] xma1e:
I kept mine for 2 reasons:

1. Always keep my last phone as backup. This means my previous backup (O2 Ignito/Dimond) has now been handed down the familiy.

2. Copilot is the best SatNav, but once one comes to the HD7, I will be putting the HD2 in storage.

The HD2 was the best WM phone ever, and I've been using WM/WinCe for about 9 years. Only problem is it came the year of the death of WM, so no further development happing outside of xda-devs.

I always used the Energy ROMs, and have been trying some of the Android builds, just as an opertunity to see what it's all about. Again it's just for Copilot because my key works on that too. Other than the fact you can get updates for Copilot, I really don't see the differenct between WM and Android, so glad I went with the HD7.
[HD7 General] ruscik:
Will co-pilot/tomtom ever be available on wp7 as if it does then my HD2 will go to box for ocassional usage (PSX console).
[HD7 General] MartyLK:
+1 The HD2 is the best phone in history. It has won popularity polls and is a phone that can be any phone. It is reliable and has outstanding hardware.

I have an HD7, but I didn't even think for a moment to get rid of my HD2 or stop using it. I use Android on mine and it serves me well. Currently using the revolutionary new Darkstone SuperRAM Nexus One build on it. The SuperRAM uses the RAM of the HD2 for operation as opposed to ROM or NAND running from the card. This makes it almost like an actual flashed ROM but faster. There is research into the viability of doing actual ROMs this way rather than flashing.
[HD7 General] herlek:
Sold my hd7 and I did keep my HD2 TMOUS. For the moment HD7 is too limited to use. I couldn't even log in my security cam on my HD7 - useful software is limited, you can't even get decent navigation software for HD7. HD7 is just another nice phone that does'nt give you the possibilty to give it your personal touch. This is for me a no go.
[HD7 General] nrfitchett4:
kept my hd2 for about 1 week after getting my hd7, then put the hd2 on craigslist. got 200.00 for it about 24 hours later.

Sorry, but as far as basic functionality, hd7 works better. Hasn't frozen once in 6 weeks, haven't had to delete text messages to prevent lag, it just works.

Now I have 2 more hd2's (wife and son), so I still have 2 phones to tweak occasionally (even the best custom ROM needs refreshing every month or so).
[HD7 General] xma1e:
Lets look at this thread after the MS update that's coming, hopfully some issues will be addressed.

God I miss all the leaks we had with WM6, at least on xda-dev you could get newer builds leaked ahead of schedule.

Not missing my HD2 one bit (unless in the car)
[HD7 General] ruscik:
So seem I am in minority. I still love my HD2 more then HD7.

HD7 did wow me .... until I tried to do anyting that a smartphone should do.

All from UK will know: "The computer says No."

I did not experience the problems many mentioned wit HD2. Never had problems with calling, in fact signal on HD7 is worse.

There was a hardware button to pickup the phone so even if the screen did not want to go on I could finish the conversation.

On HD7 I have installed a app called AP (news reader of some sort) and my proximity sensor was only switching the phone off. So after picking up the phone call I could not diconnect as screen was not turning back on. For me HD7 has as many little niggles as HD2 yet somehow it seems to do less stuff.

I keep it in hope that said january update and time for developers will fix a lot but I am now having my doubts. Copy paste is only thing in the update that is needed, nothing else addresses usability issues, at least nothing I see in the unofficial update list.
[HD7 General] MartyLK:
I'm the same with my HD2. I never experienced any of the troubles others complain of. My HD2 with WinMo has been the best phone I've ever owned. And has been the most exciting phone as well. I use a custom ROM and radio, but the OEM WinMo was never any trouble in the least...with the exception of crappily coded apps that would cause issues. Learning early on to be careful about what I installed has made my HD2 trouble free.

However, I love my HD7. I deem it to be a luxury car among smartphones. It is silky smooth, glamorous and works so well. The current apps are a different story, but WP7 and the HD7 work flawlessly in and of themselves. When MS does the coming updates, I expect it to be greatly, functionally, enhanced.

I have high esteem for my HD2 and would not part with it. I currently use Android on it, not because WinMo is bad but, because of the fun of possessing the latest, greatest Android phones. I owned a T-Mobile MyTouch 4G phone for a few days and hated the looks of the thing. Now that I have a flawless build of MT4G (courtesy of motoman234) on my HD2, I love it. Using it on my HD2 rather than the ugly MyTouch phone makes it so much more interesting and enjoyable. And I'm waiting for a fully functional build of the Nexus S Gingerbread. Now that's outstanding! My Windows Mobile phone getting Android updates long before the actual Android phones do...lol.

I love both the HD2 and HD7 equally, but in different ways. I love the "iPhone simplicity" of my HD7. A simplicity that has a special appeal that WP7 provides. Being such an excellent Zune, in that regard, I look at my HD7 as a more advanced Zune player than the dedicated Zunes out right now. But a Zune player indeed.
[HD7 General] shaunessy02:
Wow, I though I was the only one thinking about this and glad to see I am not alone.. I switched a while back HD2 from a iphone (only edge with tmobile) and quickly ported Froyo 2.2 and absolutely loved (love) it.. I type on the go and "swiftkey" is my favorite. I had the chance to upgrade and got the HD7.

It's a nice problem to have but certain my Android HD2 does a lot that HD7 does not.. I don't talk to anyone about it becasue they wouldn't understand but I alternate a couple days HD2 then a couple days HD7.. I never really gave win 6.5 a chance and was not that impressed.. I must have a good build lot and don't have many of the freezing issues I have read about.. Google Nav and Copilot live are both way better than TeleNav and Google (free) and CoPilot $3.99 one time beats $10.00 bucks a month?? To me they are totally equal but in different ways..
[HD7 General] xma1e:
I also use my HD2 with Android. I learnt that my WM 6.5 Copilot key worked with the Android Copilot. Also using my HD2 as a work phone.

Still once copilot or some other decent satnav appears on WP7 I will be using that for getting around and my HD2 purely for work calls.
[HD7 General] rysky007:
My HD2 ran with not many probs, and the few it did have, was worth the OS compared to HD7, my HD7 now is a great paper weight, as that is all its good for,

I had to reboot it almost daily to get marketplace to load or when it locked up in mind searching, I care less about facebook, No tethering, no select all, have to switch screens to track multi email addresses, no right hand scroll on contacts, have to click letters,

Call dropping is the same as my HD2, its more of a network issue.

Live tiles, to me seem useless, as the HD2 showed you when u have a message, or email or missed call time, weather, all ur important apps and what ever is need on one screen with no scroling needed, it even notifies you with a light :)

So till WM wows the crap out of WM7 and makes it better then wm6.5 my HD7 might be on craigs list soon.
[Droid X General] keithquick:
Hi, im new to the rooting process, and i searched the forums to no avail. Anyways i have my phone rooted with the the GummyJar rom installed, but none of my video files (ones i put on the phone and ones that i have recorded) will work, also none of my audio works either. i used the root explorer and went to the system folder and found the build prop file and edited it all the values were set to false already. Has anyone had these issues or did i do something wrong?

** also i click on the camera and switch it to record video and it will force stop everytime.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gangstar:
ok. i;ve done it.

i tried to install v10c europe unbranded and kdz updater gave me a param error and now my phone is completly dead. it doesnt start at all.

can i recover it somehow?

kdz updater doesn't see it any longer.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] socialdistortion:
Does it show anything at all. Does the screen display the LG or android logo?

Try the hard reset. Press Vol down+Home+PowerButton till you see the LG logo come up. If things are fine then the phone should reset itself to original state.

Best of Luck.

BTW, did you again flash in CDMA and DIAG mode?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gangstar:
it doesnt start at all.

i dont know how to enter emergency mode.

it doesnt hard reset or anything. it looks dead.

i flash in 3g and diag.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] socialdistortion:
Pretty strange that nothing comes up.

Just to experiment, when you plug in the charger (AC) does the phone begin to charge (do you seen the battery indicator come up).

And hopefully someone more experience will turn up and help you. I really don't have much idea...

I think you will find this useful http://android.modaco.com/content/lg-gt540-optimus-gt540-modaco-com/321895/faq-gt540-reference-thread/
[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
Remove battery and leave it few hours without it. After that run KDZ_UPD, configure (i think 3gs, diag, select FW - look on some how-to) without battery plug USB and press vol down+home and power on and still hold untill recovery appear. Then still try connect via KDZ.

I hope, that it will wokrs.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gangstar:
i will try to keep the battery out for a few hours.

i've tried to connect without battery and keep the buttons to start but with no luck.

the phone looks dead!

how can i enter emergency mode?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
Is it start? Or if you press power button, is something happened or dipslay of phone is just black? If so, then probably nothing will help and you will have to send it to warranty service.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gangstar:
absolutly nothing happens. no power at all. not even when i plug in the charger.

will lg fix it for me? it was bought on 15 december this year, it has 3 days.

can they see that i have tried to flash another rom?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] knzo:
well that is why I don't play around with the kdz updater.

everyone ends up with their phone bricked at some point.

I had same problem with mine P500.I was tried to update to v10d something went wrong I got some errors and after few more tries my phone was completely dead.I was lucky and my phone was changed by operator.

I did some research before carrying it back to operator and it seems that the only way to resurrect phone is JTAG.But how to do it i have no idea if it can be done at all.

You can find some info here wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=JTAG_for_Dream/Magic[/url

Hi i have got the same problem, you have solved? next week I go for assistance, we hope .. even if I pay ..
[Optimus One, P500, V General] socialdistortion:
Since you were flashing with original LG firmware, they shouldn't raise much issue. Just don't tell them that you used the KDZ updater....

BTW did you try the CS_Emergency under Phone Mode in the KDZ updater.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ccdreadcc:
also dont give them the guilty look :p
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gangstar:
the phone is completly dead, not detected by computer, even when i plug it in without battery holding vol up+back. NOTHING.

i think i will not have a problem at warranty because i think that the mb is surged, they dont have how to see that i have flashed, an official rom after all.

now, shoul i take it to lg? or to the retail store?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] batman89i:
Tomorrow I go to the center-lg, hope for the guarantee.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gangstar:
they have to change it for a new one. is their own stupid firmware that got stuck, it could have happened the same with their own update tool.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] batman89i:
Have you solved?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gangstar:
i went to the retail store where i've bought it and they said that they will send it tommorow to the service center so i decided to take it myself to the service center to spare some time.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] batman89i:
Good.. and with what "cause" did you go? What did you say or what to say to them? I just can not say that the phone was flashed

OT: Are you italian..? Excuse me my english is very bad
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gangstar:
no.

you can say anything. u can say that it crashed when updating with lg update. u can say that u've found it like that after one night charging. it's strange though because a lot of them crashed while updating.

umm.. I had a similar problem. My phone was rooted and I had tried ROM Manager & clockwork mod. After running RM, the phone restarted and after the LG screen, a black screen comes up with two code lines and then nothing happens. Man, that was an *oh sh*t* moment for me! Sat in front of this site for about 10 hours, trust me, I tried EVERYTHING, no help! :( Finally, I went to the LG Service Center today. They promised me a new phone within a week so I'm happy! :P

Basically, I advice you to go to the service center.

Good luck!
