outdated stuff:
There seems to be a lot of questions regarding the steps laid out in the official thread, so here I'll try doing a STEP BY STEP guide for those who are confused with the steps.
I borrowed some stuff from the original guide, so thanks Bin4ry, jerpelea and biktor_gj for everything!
NOTE: Before you begin, you should know that this process will wipe everything off your phone. So backup your contacts, and text messages and everything on your phone! Download a free backup program from the market to make backups onto your SD card, and after you're done everything, download that program again and restore everything from SD card. Your SD card remains fine.
1) Install SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service).
You can get it from here: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/download/1/110/61/1275980198/Update_Service_Setup-2.10.6.21.exe
2) Run SEUS, follow the prompts. You don't need to update the phone through it, but get the phone ready for updating. This process should install the drivers necessary for the rooting process.
Note: I suggest you keep your USB cable attached to that USB port. Remember which USB port of your computer it's attached to, as changing USB ports can lead to a bit of confusion for the next 2 steps!
3) To check if #2 was successful, click on Start, click Run, and type: regedit
In the Registry Editor that pops up, click on Computer, press CTRL+F, and search for this: USB\Vid_0fce&Pid_adde\
After it's finished finding, on the right side you'll see DeviceInstance, then it says REG_SZ, then it says something like USB\Vid_0fce&Pid_adde\5&270d2a78&0&3
You'll need that last bit (in this example: 5&270d2a78&0&3 Yours would probably be different). This is your DeviceID (you'll need it soon!)
Note: You may have multiple of these if you plugged the USB cord into many USB ports on your computer. Each USB port will give a different DeviceID, so if you have more than one DeviceID, you'll have to choose one, and if it doesn't work (you'll find out when you reach #5!) you will have to choose another one.
Alternatively, download the file in the next step and extract it, go to the folder called 1st, and run the DeviceID.jar file. It should give your DeviceID
4) Download this:
http://filevo.com/1nlq8wryo11u.html
or from here: http://rapidshare.com/files/404363083/i_R1FA16_ft.rar.html
Extract it.
In the step1 folder, you'll see a file called DeviceID.txt
Open it up, delete whatever's there, and put YOUR DeviceID (that you found from the previous step).
Save the file and close notepad.
Note: Make sure there are no extra spaces or lines after/before the DeviceID. The ONLY thing that should be in the file is your DeviceID, NO SPACES/LINES (for example, only this: 5&270d2a78&0&3 [yours will probably be different])
5) Take out the USB cable from your phone (leave it plugged into your computer)
Turn your phone OFF
Open up step1.cmd (it's not inside the step1 folder, but outside it), but DON'T PRESS ANYTHING
Now we have to put the phone into flash mode. This is how you do it:
Hold the Back button on your phone, and while holding the back button, insert the USB cable into the phone.
A green light should come on the phone (like when it's charging or a missed call)
Quickly "Press any key to continue..." in the open step1.cmd window.
Let it finish what it's doing. It will say "Press any key to continue..." after it's finished. Until then, DON'T touch anything!
If you get problems in this step, refer to this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6970868&postcount=3
Here's a helpful video for common java issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=713457
After completion, this will give you a Generic X10i R1FA016 firmware (check it by pressing the left button, go to settings>about phone and at the very bottom under build number)
Keep your phone plugged into the USB.
6) Download this:
http://filevo.com/yzmh8wlyrgtz.html
or from here: http://rapidshare.com/files/404359845/ROOT_F2v2.rar.html
Extract it.
DELETE step4 folder, step5 folder, step4.cmd and step5.cmd
Now we're going to put the phone into Debugging mode:
Turn your phone on if it's not already on.
Press the left button, go to Settings>Applications>Development and check on USB debugging, press OK in the popup. Plug the USB into the phone (in case you disconnected it). You should see an exclamation mark at the very top left of the screen of the phone.
Do NOT have the SD card mounted to your computer!
Note: This next step can take a while!
Open step2.cmd, don't press anything!
On the phone, a list of buttons will come up eventually. Press the 6th option (something about update from SDcard). ONLY PRESS IT ONCE!
Leave your phone alone. Go to the washroom or eat a snack.
You'll see the progress on the phone screen, as it installs the package. Leave everything alone.
After completion, this will give you a Generic X10i R2BA023 firmware.
If you get problems, try this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7003121&postcount=1122
7) The phone should be on, USB plugged in, and already in USB debugging mode.
Open step3.cmd, and 'Press any key to continue'
Let it finish what it's doing, it will say 'Press any key to continue' at the end after it's finished.
After completion, this will give you ROOT! And it also installs some programs for you.
_____________________________________________________________________
Additional steps for X10a:
Download this:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BY0GZBM3
Extract it.
Inside the step4 folder, there is a DeviceID.txt file. Remember you've seen this before? Copy the same one from step1 folder that you did in #4, and put it into the step4 folder.
Follow #5 (except with step4.cmd)
Next, turn the phone on (if it doesn't turn on, unplug the USB from the phone, and try turning it on again, then plug the USB back in). Put it in USB debugging mode if it's not (if you forgot how to, look back in #6)
Open step5.cmd
After it's done, press the left button on the the phone, go to Settings>About phone and under Model number it should say X10a
_____________________________________________________________________
Market Fix:
If you have an X10i, follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=719486
Otherwise if you have an X10a, use this file instead, but follow the same instructions as in the link above: http://rapidshare.com/files/405188255/Market-Fix-X10a.rar
_____________________________________________________________________
To delete preinstalled programs you don't want, such as Moxier:
Put phone in debugging mode if it's not already.
I recommend you unplug USB from phone so you don't end up running some file and messing your phone
Open up the step3 folder. Right-click on cleanup.cmd, and click on edit.
Whatever is there in that list of "@adb shell rm /blah/blah/blah" will get wiped off your phone. So change the list as you want. If you're unsure, REMOVE IT FROM THE LIST!
After you're done making your list of apps to remove, save the file, plug USB into phone, and run the file.
Here is a thread that says what some of the applications are, and additional ones you can add to the list, to remove from the phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714021
Alternatively, you can install Titanium Backup from the market (it's free!) and use that to uninstall some applications. Also, it's really great for making a backup of your stuff (you can backup more things now since you have access to more things since you now have root!)

nice work dude.
Great tutorial !
I followed this guide but when doing step 2.cmd, i did as I should and when I came back there was a picture of a phone with exclamation mark on it.
I thought it was done so I took off the usb and restarted the phone and it redid the whole progress thing, this time with the pic of a phone and an arrow pointing to it.
The phone restarted but now it won't go past the screen where is says "sony ericsson". What do I do now?

What I would do is try restarting the phone; if that doesn't help, or can't restart it, take the battery out, and put the battery in after 5 sec and try starting the phone again. If that doesn't help, or it stays as an exclamation mark, start from step 1 again
Yep I redid step 1. I don't know what that exclamation mark thing was for. I hope it doesn't show up the next time I try it.

That's all I ever got from Step 2.
"error: device not found
error: device not found
"select option 6 SDCARD UPDATE"
Press any key to continue . . ."
Thank GOD though, someone had the sense to say "option 6 ON THE PHONE".
I was looking to press it on my PC keyboard for ages. I don't even know if I missed the option appearing on my phone but I don't think so as it always said the above on the PC.
Anyway, I gave up and used SEUS to update. Flashing in step 1 gave me a generic firmware and removed my O2 UK branding. SEUS then updated to the R2BA020 before it was available on O2... battery life vastly improved but I am missing a few market apps.
And now I can't even manage step 1! I am no fool and I am in IT, but I am pretty confused by all this. I only wanted to remove f***ing Moxier apps and improve battery life. Now I've lost access to stuff on the market, I kinda wish I'd waited for O2 to release it officially!
The Java app from pre-step 1 for finding phone ID just displays a blank screen too. I've got 3 different IDs on my PC and none of them work now. I assume as I got the "official" generic FW OTA, perhaps they locked out this method?
Frustrated at losing access to market apps more than anything.
Are you sure the device is in USB-debug mode? When you plug the USB into the phone, make sure that exclamation sign at the very top left of the screen comes up, and then try running step2.cmd
Step 2 Problems
Okay I'm in the right thread because I am a total root noob.
This is my first attempt at trying this.
I'm running an X10a on Rogers.
I've been following the instructions to the letter, but I just can't get step 2 completed.
This is the error I message I get: "Failed to copy 'fota.pkg' to '/sdcard/fota.pkg': Permission Denied" ... blah blah blah.
I can't seem to get past this "Permission Denied" issue.
Any help is appreciated.
Great Guide...
I got the following error message which at step1. I am sure I followed all the installation steps(with Java installed) and switched the phone into flash mode already.
Can anyone let me know how to resolve it? Thank you very much.
Here are the error messages:

Help
I run the whole process to root R2BA020, working well.
I was updating the rom R2BA023, and run the 5 steps, my X10 only shows a drawing of the X10 with a triangle with exclamation. I need help to restore the X10.
@wongrhy
Go to command promt and type javac and hit enter. If it does not display java help options then path is not set correctly.
Try setting up the path with the following command on the command prompt
path={PUT YOUR JAVA BIN FOLDER PATH HERE}
Make sure you change/put the java bin folder path above.
After that try running the flash again.
@Topic Creator.
I guess you forgot to mention that the DeviceID.txt from the Step 1 has to be copied in the Step 2 and Step 3 folder.
People who got error in Step2 and Step 3. Put the DeviceID.txt from the step 1 folder into Step 2 and Step 3 folder and try again.

Try the steps from beginning. It should work. If you want to go back to Sony Default unrooted firmware then try the ROMs by jerpelea in another thread in the forum.
run the step 1 and the outcome is:
please connect Xperia in flash mode.

1. after the spl.lnk, you will see nothing on the prophet,
2. if connection error, soft reset and try again,
3. are you really following my steps?
4. please make more carefully,
5. did you make the hardSPL yet?
please read again my steps in the link on my signature below...
Chao~~
P.S. Vista version Windows environment.... not tested.
Same here....
I followed all the steps mentioned and I did this many times,
I have G4 and windows 6.0
1) Copied all 3 files above windows folder
2) Disconnected USB cable
3) Ran spl.lnk file, got white screen
4) Connecting to USB FAILS!!!!!
I tried doing soft reset and removed the battery for a while, restarted my computer.. NOTHING helped out.
Bottom line is whenever I connect my USB with white screen its not connecting to ActiveSyn and also the downgrade exe also giving error message like no connection with PC.
Help me out with this.
Now it works, I didnt do hardSPL which is nothing patch must be done before making the 1st step mentioned in this thread. I saw that in another thread and now it works fine. Thanks, its really fast!!!
Guys I was updating my Old Gene to vanilamanila
but suddenly error 270 occured and my device reset itself and didnt opened anymore.
how can I fix it???
try to upgrade your SPL
hey its by KRAZY ABOUT TECHNOLOGY {senior member XDA} you can find the whole thread
The Step By Step Guide
The Step By Step Guide
CAUTION: DO NOT UPDATE ROM OF A PHONE THAT IS SIM LOCKED. THE RESULTS ARE UNKNOWN BUT MOST OF THE TIMES IT PREVENTS YOU FROM USING THE PHONE ANY FURTHUR!!
If you like to backup your existing rom first, follow this guide by Ankit360 to do it : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...8&postcount=20
Step 1: Download the Tools
-------------------------------
Download the tools zip file from here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/81084740...ing_Tools.html
Its a self extracting file, just start it and give a path and it will unzip all the files in your chosen folder. Inside the extracted folder you will find these things:
1. SPL Updater : Inside it there are 2 folders, Olipro and Orefkov. These contain the two SPL patchers that we need to use.
2. ROM Update Utility : This contains the ROM update utility we will need to flash a ROM. Unzip it into a folder.
3. USBDriver4ActiveSyncVista : This contains a special driver for Windows Mobile Device Center in Vista that you need to use to successfully update your ROM. Unzip it in a folder too.
4. Download a ROM appropriate for your device: Which one is appropriate, you'll only know after updating your SPL. So do this step after that. But in any case, here is a link to a good ROM, created by me, which is available for both new and old gene:
Sumit's Pro Users ROM (WM 6.1, for new and old gene)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467796
Step 2: Preparing your phone
--------------------------------
1. Copy the file gene_hspl.exe from the SPL Updater\Olipro folder that you got in step 1 to the phone memory.
2. First, on your phone, Go to Start > Settings > Connections > USB to PC. Here, uncheck the checkbox : enable advance nerwork functionality. Click OK. Disconnect and Reconnect the USB cable to your pc.
Step 3: Prepare your Computer
--------------------------------
XP Users
----------
There is not much you need to do. Just open task manager and kill the Active Sync executable from the processes tab. Its named as wcescomm.exe.
Vista Users
-------------
You need to take these steps :
1. Go to desktop, right click Computer, and select Manage. Go to Device Manager. Now under the section Mobile Devices, Double Click : Smartphone USB Sync.
2. On the Drivers tab, click "Update Driver..." button. On next screen click : "Browse my computer for driver software".
3. Click : "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computers". Click "Have Disk.." on next screen. Click "Browse..." and go to the folder extracted in step 1. There, go to USBDriverforActiveSyncVista folder. Here select the file "wceusbsh.inf" and click OK.
4. Click Next and finish the wizard.
Step 4: Use the Olipro method first.
-----------------------------------------
Open File manager on your phone. Go to the location on phone memory where you saved gene_hspl.exe. Tap on it to run it. Your phone will restart after a short pause.
Now there are two chances :
a) If its done alright, you'll see SPL 1.10.Olip on your boot screen and your phone will boot just fine. And it confirms that you have an old gene. You do not need to do Step5. Proceed to Step 6.
b) If it doesn't boots, and only green and red keys blink, Don't worry. Your phone is bricked but you'll get it back using orefkov's method in a minute. Proceed to next step. And this confirms that you have a new gene.
Step 5: Use the Orefkov Unlocker
------------------------------------
1. Remove the battery, SIM card and SD Card of your phone and press the Power key for 20 seconds to draw out any residual power from the phone.
2. Replace the battery but not the SIM and SD card, and don't start the phone yet. Press and hold the Camera button and then press the Power button or Soft Reset button. Phone will come to boot loader mode (tricolor screen) and SPL 1.10.Olip will be displayed.
3. Connect the USB cable. The text USB will appear on the bottom of the screen.
4. On PC, go to the folder Orefkov in the folder extracted in step 1 and run the Mtty1_42.exe. Press the button "USB" in the window that opened.
5. In the window that opened, type the following command (don't use copy paste please) and press enter:
Code:
set 32 1
You'll see a response from phone.
6. Type the following command BUT DON'T PRESS ENTER YET:
Code:
ls boot.bin
Note : that is small L and small s in that command, dont mistake it with I.
Now, hold down the Camera button on phone, and press the enter key on computer. After a while, the screen will become White. Continue pressing the Camera button for 10 more seconds.
7. Now release the camera button, close the MTTY program and run ROMUpdateUtility.exe in the same folder, not the one outside it. That one is for RAM flashing that we will use later. Check the boxes in each step and click Next Next and then at last Update. Let it finish the process. Your phone will restart.
8. Now on the splash screen you'll see the info with updated SPL version. The version of SPL will be 1.07.Oref.
Congrats! you have successfully patched your SPL.
Step 6: Flash the ROM
---------------------------
Now let the phone boot once and then shutdown it. Insert your SIM card, but not the SD card. Go to the PC and copy the ROM file (it must be names RUU_Signed.nbh. Rename it if it has some other name.) into the ROM Update Utility folder that is outside the Orefkov and SPL Patcher folder.
Now press and hold the camera button and start your phone to go into the Boot loader mode once again.
Now Run the RomUpdateUtility.exe and follow her instructions. Please make sure that you are not running RomUpdateUtility inside the Orefkov folder in SPL Updater folder. You must use the one outside, in the RomUpdateUtility folder. Your phone will automatically go into bootloader mode and a progress bar will be displayed on both phone and PC. Once it completes, your phone will restart again and you'll get the phone with the brand new ROM.
Step 7 : Set your PC and Phone back to normal
------------------------------------------------
This step is only needed in case you are using Vista.
The driver we updated in Vista will not work for normal active sync operation. So you'll need to set it back to the original version. There are two ways to do that. Either, uninstall and reinstall the Windows Mobile Device Center Or Follow the same procedure gicen in Step 3 but instead on clicking the "Have Disk button", choose the driver from the list already given.
The driver that you need to install can be identified by have a newer version given in front of its name. Also, the newer driver's name includes "Microsoft Corporation" while the older one has only "Microsoft".
You can Put back your SD card now.
On your phone, again go to the Start > Settings > Connections > USB and check the checkbox there and click OK.
That's it! You are Done.

@rockyyy : For heavens sake, do not post full tut in threads like these man, its a waste of space and bandwidth and its annoying to scroll though it everytime. A link to the original post would have done that easily. In case you aren't aware, every post has a number in its top right corner like this one has #8. This number is also a permanent link or permalink to that post and it can be used to refer to it. Just right click on the number and copy the link address.

Hello, I am a newbie Android user and I have been exploring the greatness of the OS for few days now.
Just now I tried to update my firmware to 2.3.5 and followed instruction from a non-xda developer site and little did I know, it messed up my phone big time.
While I was loading all the files (CSC, tar, modem, etc), and I should've known better when the site told me to check the "re partition" box, but I was stupid enough to go along with it.
So Odin got stuck at re-writing the modem or something like that and I had to pull out the battery from the phone.
Now the phone turns on only in recovery mode and none of the recovery choices work, if I choose one it just shows a little green android with white bordered triangle with an orange exclamation mark in the middle.
I can still access the download mode by using conventional button pressing method, but my phone is NO LONGER RECOGNIZED through the USB so I cannot flash the old stock firmware...
Is there a fix for this? If anyone can help me resolve this issue I am willing to compensate very well in return...
Thank you so much for reading my convoluted troubled story, and I really hope to find some resolution in your wisdom.
If u can't reflash your farmware
Than their is only one option left
give it to the Samsung service center they will repair your phone

I'd be down to do so but it will be hard as I have 4 custom binary flash counter... What can I do as of now?
i dont know if this helps you out buddy but maybe if you read in this thread you might find people that had the same trouble as you..just try and search the thread first and if nothing comes up try and read the first page maybe there you might get an idea on how to unbrick the phone

Thank you.. But I unfortunately did not follow the instructions that is written there I used an external source which told me to check "re partition" which completely messed up the phone, I think. Thank you for your input, though.

i dont want to advice you wrongly but you say you can get into download mode right? if it was my phone i would try and flash again but this time using the proper way to do it....but its down to you my friend i dont want to say do it and it gets worse..
EDIT: apologies i just saw that your usb is not recognised...do you have kies on the background when you flash with odin?
Check this unbricker
android-roms.googlecode.com/files/DREAIMG-RC29.zip
Download DREAIMG-RC29.zip and unzip the file.
Reformat the SD card to FAT32 and copy the DREAIMG.nbh onto it.
Safely eject the SD card.
Put the SD card into your device.
Step 3: Wipe The Phone
Hold home and press the power button.
When you see the image of an ! mark, open your keyboard and press Alt + L if you cannot see any command options.
Do a factory reset by pressing Alt + W or just using the trackball.
When the reset is done, go ahead and hold the camera button and select the reboot system now option with your trackball.
Step 4: Flashing The Phone
Once the grey screen pops up (or the white screen if your phone was rooted with JesusFreke) it will ask you to hit a button to start installing the image…press that button. DO NOT DO ANYTHING TO STOP THIS PROCCESS. It will take about 8-12 minutes.
When the image has completed the installation (it will say completed), go ahead and press the green, red, and menu buttons at the same time. The phone will reboot.
And your done! Your phone is now unbricked!.
If this helps u buy me a HTC sensation.

Thanks for such detailed instruction! Would this method work if my phone is no longer recognized by the computer though? Please clarify what you mean by "open your keyboard" and the subsequent steps...
Thank you, once again!

Ah I see. Could you please help me understand what you mean by "open keyboard?" I just don't see how I could open keyboard on my SGS2 when it isn't recognized by my computer... If you could clarify what you mean by that it will be really appreciated!
So from your information provided, you have a stock recovery and your phone is semi-bricked. You can still boot and your computer won't recognize your phone.
Do you have a jig? What firmware did you flash? You could use a jig to reset the flash counter on the phone and return it for warranty saying that Kies messed up while upgrading firmware. If you've flashed the KI3 with the new bootloader then the jig won't be able to clear the flash counter.
EDIT: Maybe an experienced senior member might come and look at this thread and provide some other solution. Do wait!
EDIT2: Try reinstalling Kies and the drivers. Don't give up just yet!

I don't think that the guide he posted is particularly for galaxy s2 because he also mentioned a trackball...
but if you can go the settings he mentioned you might find something and lead you.
And if you decide to bring the phone to samsung you might want to have a read at Intratechs Official firmware
thread in (Original Android Development)there you can find a bootloader that you can flash so you can use the jig to reset the counter
edit: wow I also failed to read that your computer can't recognise your phone
anymore....
Have you tried to delete the samsung drivers when you go to
your hardware settings?? and let windows find it's drivers again?
Not sure if this will help. I read somewhere someone else with their PC not really recognizing the phone. Someone else advised to unplug the phone and remove the battery then connect to PC insert battery and put it into download mode.
I could be wrong with the method. Its just from my memory.
Also this may make no difference but maybe removing the sim and SD card. Someone will probably call me stupid for suggesting that though.
I wouldn't try that unbrick method mate. That looks like it is an unroot for an old phone..possible the G1 (AKA HTC Dream).
Thanks for all the help... I have been trying to uninstall the driver and reinstall it but no luck. If I could just get the phone to be recognized I think I will be fine, but I just don't know what to do
Thank you for all the suggestions, please keep them coming!
EDIT: this is the guide I used that messed up my phone.. http://androidflip.com/install-andr...-samsung-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100-installing-guide/
EDIT: Tried to reinstall KIES, no luck. It's like there's nothing on the other side of the USB cord... Not even a sound when I plug the phone in...
If it had been via XDA the instructions are do not do what they are saying .
In Odin Select Re-Partition , Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time
In Odin select these files
For PIT select u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit
BIG BIG NO to the above .
As usual some stuff ripped from XDA and some from elsewhere .
My suggestion would be one buy USB jig it hopefully will clear the rom counter and enter download mode .
two in recovery mode go to mounts and storage and format cache data dalvik system and sd card .
Clean phone with nothing on it .Flash stock firmware .

If PC does not now recognise phone either try another PC or return phone to service centre and say it failed on a Kies upgrade .

Thanks, I tried to do this but unfortunately the problem persists... What do you think the root of the problem is? I just dont' get it why it won't be recognized anymore.. I feel like I could easily get it to work if I could just get it to become recognized to flash stock firmware....
EDIT: JJE, I would turn it into the service place but I have custom rom count of 4 And I don't have any USB jigs to work with either.... I am still within the 15 days of the phone purchase day, would they be willing to swap my phone?
BUMP, any input would be appreciated...

Ever wonder how to get the hell out of the ''Fastboot mode started udc_start()''..??
Worry not.. The help is here.. )
Note: *This usually happens when you flash something and failed.
*Don't worry your device is not fully bricked.. There are many ways to fix this..
*Before proceeding please make sure your phone is charged even if the backlight is always on while charging..
* Remember make sure LG UNITED (Driver of your phone) is already installed (to avoid PHONE WAS NOT FOUND)!!!!!!
*This will restore your Original Rom.
*This Works On All Variants Of Optimus One (LG-P500,LG-P505,LG-P506,LG-P509) and other few devices
*For the Prerequisites (Below)..
Prerequisites:
*KDZ Updater/Lg United
*Windows Pc/Usb cable
INSTRUCTIONS:
STEP 1:Download the prerequisites. Disable all LGE modems under modems from Windows device manager in
the control panel.. (Simply click start then type ''Device manager'' click it. then you will see there under MODEMS)
STEP 2:Exract the files..Open the KDZ Folder to your desktop and Right click on the "KDZ_FW_UPD.exe" and
click RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR.
STEP 3:Open the "Original firmware" folder and run it, type the serial number on the blank form entry. You can
Find you serial number on the back of you phone, remove the battery and look for the sticker attached to you phone.
If you fail to launch this software, you will have to install net. framework 4.0, just open your browser and type
NET.framework 4.0. Download it and install. After this you are able to run the software.After you type down the serial
number of your device click save and just save it on you DESKTOP. Wait until it is finished. This takes some time.
Internet connection needed as this software is downloading the ''KDZ file'' needed for the "KDZ_FW_UPD.exe".
STEP 4: Now lets go to your phone,press and hold both the back(return) button and the volume up button and
simultaneously connect the USB cable.. (The phone should light up and say Emergency mode!! in a green
The phone should light up and say Emergency mode!! in a GREEN/YELLOW background. (if not don't continue...)
STEP 5:After the download lets go back to "KDZ_FW_UPD.exe" .. Follow this settings... TYPE:3GQCT
PHONE MODE: DIAG Select the cab file (the one you downloaded ''KDZ file'' located at DESKTOP) The version
will depend on the ''KDZ file'' you downloaded. EX: (mine is V10F_00.kdz so the version will be V10F_00) after this
click "LAUNCH SOFTWARE UPDATE'' THIS WILL TAKE SOME TIME..... WAIT FOR IT....
For most of you it would probably say PHONE WAS NOT FOUND!..To avoid this please make sure you have
follow my note written above..

First, this method should work for all Optimus One variants. P500, P505, P506, P509, and a few others
Second, a couple corrections, if you don't mind...
Step 3: ... type down the serial number... This is incorrect. This should be IMEI number. IMEI and Serial are two different things.
Step 4: ... Emergency mode!! in a green background... Emergency mode has a Yellow background and "Emergency Mode" printed on the screen in Red.
Third,
When something goes wrong, the device will first attempt to boot to recovery. If it can't boot to recovery for whatever reason, then the device will reboot to fastboot mode. From here there are other options, not just KDZ. KDZ should be the last line of defense as it has bricked many Optimus One's and it's variants. If the device drivers had been previously installed correctly to a Windows PC, then fastboot.exe or any GUI tool for fastboot.exe can flash a recovery that can then be used to repair/replace the device's OS. Linux/Unix users don't need drivers to communicate with USB devices, only a 51-android.rules file and a fastboot executable for Linux/Unix.
Don't take what I've said the wrong way. I'm not trying to shoot your guide down. This is the kind of activity that is encouraged at XDA not discouraged I just wanted to inform you that there are other options.
Thanks a lot. You really saved my phone. Worked like a charm. My device is back to life and working good
But some apps (play store, maps, etc) are shown as broken as I had earlier moved them to a second partition on my SD card.
I tried downloading play store apk, maps apk and tried to install, but installation is a failure
Is there any way to restore these apps?

Serial number
Hi there, I'm a complete novice at this but giving it a go...I'm up to step three and have opened the original firmware folder and run the application, but whenever I type the serial number (or the IMEI number - have tried both) and hit "save" it says "Unsuccessful in connecting to server or phone information is wrong!"
Any tips to get through this step?

STEP 3:Open the "Original firmware" folder and run it, type the serial number on the blank form entry. You can
Find you serial number on the back of you phone, remove the battery and look for the sticker attached to you phone.
If you fail to launch this software, you will have to install net. framework 4.0, just open your browser and type
NET.framework 4.0. Download it and install. After this you are able to run the software.After you type down the serial
number of your device click save and just save it on you DESKTOP. Wait until it is finished. This takes some time.
Internet connection needed as this software is downloading the ''KDZ file'' needed for the "KDZ_FW_UPD.exe".
STEP 4: Now lets go to your phone,press and hold both the back(return) button and the volume up button and

PHONE MODE: DIAG Select the cab file (the one you downloaded ''KDZ file'' located at DESKTOP) The version

Thanks a lot. You really saved my phone. Worked like a charm. My device is back to life and working good
But some apps (play store, maps, etc) are shown as broken as I had earlier moved them to a second partition on my SD card.
I tried downloading play store apk, maps apk and tried to install, but installation is a failure
Is there any way to restore these apps?

Im not sure.. but I think it will not work on p760. Sorry for late reply sir.
Help help pleaseee
I also have a problem like this, and at the same bootloop "fastboot mode started udc_start ()". So I followed the tutorial as you post. It's just that there is a problem at the last moment, that is the error message by KDZ (like in the picture), whereas in the log is written "FINISHED" but instead restart my phone to fastboot mode (after previously being in emergency mode) and nothing happened.
Earlier after I remove the error message, there is a new log message after the "FINISHED". Is there someone who can give me help? :angel::angel::angellease !!! Until now my LG still brick do not know how what I can do.......:crying::crying::crying::crying:
Hello. I've tried using multiple ROMs in my rooted phone with KDZ Updater, and I guess that one of the updates hanged, or maybe it was something else... I really don't know. What I do know is that my phone currently isn't able to enter recovery mode, and is also not showing any boot logos (neither 'LG' nor 'Android').
I did see some threads about this, one of them talking about starting in Download Mode and using KDZ in CS_Emergency mode with some French ROM. Well, I tried that and as soon as I press "Launch software upgrade" the program freezes until I plug my phone off the PC.
I feel as if something was stuck in my throat and the only way to get it out is by completing this... so any help will be greatly appreciated!
PS: All this happened in the process of trying to install Cyanogen Mod 10.1 (which I did not try yet).

Need to make sure to get the right firmware, DLL file, and make sure you have the right port set on the program.

Thanks for the reply!
I appreciate the info, and I'll be checking what you've said. All the links in that thread are inaccessible because Fileserve only lets you download what you upload. Anyway, I'm curious as to what this "DLL" file does on a smartphone... why do I need these things? I never heard of them being mentioned anywhere.
I'll start educating myself ASAP. Meanwhile, thank you very much (and by the way, if it's of help to anyone, my phone is a GT540g from Personal, Argentina.
You're welcome. Sorry, didn't check to see if the files were still there and most every other site just had reposts of the fileserve links. However, finally found what you need here:
http://files-gsm.ru/lg flesh/GT540gAT-00-V20a-722-34-DEC-28-2010+0.dz.zip
I found this dll for your phone but not sure if it works with the firmware you have for that version:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/9v9e78xronadm0c/GT540g_100506_MP.dll
"A dynamic-link library (DLL) file is an executable file that allows programs to share code and other resources necessary to perform particular tasks..."
Basically it ties together a few things in Windows to let the flash tool work for your specific device is my understanding. But they have to be specific to the phone or it won't run once it checks the build.prop of the phone vs the firmware you're trying to install.
Keep in mind, I do not have this phone and have no way to test if they will or won't work so just like any other mod or upgrade - you do so at your own risk.
Thanks, but...
First of all, I'm very sorry not to have replied before, but I've been busy. Anyway!
Thanks, I appreciate the links, but I don't understand where to put the .dll file in my phone. I know you'd think I'm an idiot who doesn't know how to use Google, but I actually did search beforehand. I simply don't get where to put it.
Also, if it's worth the shot, I just noticed that I should disable the "Modem" that activates when I plug my phone in. The problem is, KDZ just does this simple log [attached] and states "===FINISHED===" (Note that I have 2 Modems listed in my device manager [attached screenshot])
Solution GT540
Thanks for your help everyone, I came to a solution after a full year lol. Here's my enlightenment, from another Thread:
Just wanted to leave my 2 cents here, I've been trying to do my best since around august 2014, no success. 2 days ago I retried this, and I DID IT! I will tell everyone what I did very shortly:
My problem that I solved: I can boot, device works like a charm. But: no boot logos, no recovery.
My solution for TL;DR: UNINSTALL ALL DRIVERS FROM DEVICE MANAGER 1ST, then reinstall. After that, flash a fastboot ROM and use it to WIPE ALL THE DATA IN YOUR PHONE! THIS was what I needed and was never explained: you had to WIPE the old data in order to get the boot screens back.
IN THIS ORDER (THANK YOU to those people from previous replies, gathering all your info was of great value):
Uninstall all of your phone drivers from your PC!!! This is what made most of my headaches go away, just use Device Manager and uninstall anything from LGE. After that, plug in your device in your USB ports (always BACK ports, not front ports, important). It should detect all drivers and download them.
IF it fails (it generally does with LGE USB Modem), you can go to Device Manager > Unknown Device (the one that wasn't recognized) > Right Click and Update > Choose 2nd option, then choose "choose from a list of local controllers" (or whatever the button says). After that, scroll down to LG Electronics, Inc. and install what didn't install.
I also found these drivers, but I did not test them: http://www.mediafire.com/download/p693hcz6kkouh19/USB_Driver_LG_GT540.zip
Huzzah!
Now you're set to begin:
FIRST thing you wanna do is a factory reset, this is something I'd forgotten with time, don't make the same mistake as I did. You can do it by turning your phone on and pressing Volume +/- & Home & Quick Search buttons all together for 5 seconds (it works, be patient and wait for it, even if you open the camera or any other stuff).
Download this Google SDK Tools (unzip and put the folder in C:\ drive) and this Fastboot drivers for GT540 (unzip and put the files inside the folder in C:\android-sdk).
Skip this next line if you know your ROM has fastboot.
Now, if you don't have a ROM with fastboot, I recommend you use either European Open+Fastboot or V20C Orange France Fastboot ROM.

Since you have Fastboot enabled, now all you need to do is turn off your device (all this with its battery on it, no weird things) and hold the Camera button before turning it back on. This should take you either to a black screen, or simply to no display, like me. Either one will work anyways.
Now press the Windows key > Type cmd and open it with Right Click > Run as Administrator.
In it, type all this, command by command (you can paste by right clicking):
cd C:\android-sdk
fastboot -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot

Click to collapse
And now it's go time! Do what everyone else says in here: Take out your phone's battery, SD and SIM cards, fire KDZ Updater up as Administrator (If your KDZ freezes, then it's either faulty or you did not install msxml, look for a good KDZ that comes with that file and delete your current one), choose CS_Emergency PhoneMode and:
1-Plug your phone while holding the volume DOWN button (don't worry! My phone didn't show "Download Mode" either, if you hear the Windows "Somethingpluggedin" Bump noise, it's ok).
2-Flash French V20A
3-Unplug your phone once KDZ says "==FINISHED==".
4-Plug it once again, holding the volume DOWN button.
5-Flash out.kdz (remember! it's CS_Emergency).
