Root CyanogenMod 6.1/Android 2.2 Is here for GT540!

Yepp, everything's amazing, we wont get Flash player on the GT540 because the phone has an ARM v6 processor, which just isn't good enough for Flash, so that's not gonna happen :( MP4 and FM Radio are missing features that were meant to be added in future releases, but Quarx (the developer of the ROM) has stopped developing the ROM as his GT540 broke. But hopefully someone will continue his work! :D

Hmm, not too sure about the language fonts, I think if you download More2Locale from the Market, and set it to Hindi, it might work.. :D


dude does this mean that Boot v1.5 & System v4.4 is the last update for now?? no more 1.6 and v4.5??

Hi,
It sounds your experience might helps my problem :)
Well, If you can remember the website. Please paste the website link or some key words that you put when you googled it to this thread.
Or if you don't mind, Please send the file to my e-mail ( nichole@post.com ---- It's temporary email, so I'm not worry to much exposing it on the forum!!!).
It will be a great help ;)

Thanks!
 
1. After clicking photos I'm stuck. The Camera just hangs up at the photo and when I return to Gallery, there are no photos. This continues even when I reboot my phone. I reflashed CM couple of times and each time, after using camera for 4-5 times this error repeats. Is this a bug? I'm sick of this.

Try turning the delay/timer off for steady shots, worked for me.

Hmm looking at the update it appears there are no real bugs fixes, just removal of un-necessary apps. I'll wait for a later version I think, really happy with the install i have at the moment.

That's sort of right, there won't be any more updates from Quarx himself, but hopefully someone else will come along and update CyanogenMod to perfection! :D
 
Hiya, 1st time poster, long time lurker :mellow: wondering for some advice. Upgraded to 2.2 using Cyanogens mod, brilliant. Phone charges on USB but doesn't appear to give me the option for USB

If I go into settings now, I have option to dismount for removal and formatting only. Theres no tab for Mass Storage. Had a quick search but haven't seen anyone with this issue, any ideas at all??

Thanks in advance for any help, hope I'm not missing something really obvious!

Cheers

Ric

Hey there, when you plug in the phone, on the first time, your computer needs to install the drivers before the phone will let you enable mass storage mode. Try plugging in to different USB ports (on a desktop, try going from the front ports to the back ports and vice versa) and wait for the drivers to install.

Good luck! :D
 
I've done everything according to the op's post and there's a huge problem I've yet to solve. At the step where you press power and camera button, no matter how long I press them, nothing happens! Absolutely nothing! No logos, no vibrations. I tried volume up + power or just power but still nothing.

...this does not mean that my phone is bricked.. right? Help!


edit: If I try this with pluging out the usb cable, it does vibrate but still no logo, nothing else.

Does the phone display a blank screen when you hold the power button and camera? If it does it means the phone is in fastboot mode! :D
 
I thought it should've shown a logo as it's been said so and it just stayed still on cmd with "waiting for device" text. I panicked a lot as I've just bought the phone like a week ago but following CowboyDan's post, I think I'm gonna make it. :)

Will edit this post if I succeed in upgrading my phone, even if you care or not :)


edit: It sure does take a long time to boot, but I think I've made it! Thanks a lot.
 
Problem:

My phone is in fastboot mode(blank screen), but when I plug it in to the computer, the drivers won't install anymore. I am using Vista.

When I'm not in fastboot mode, the drivers do install fine. I flashed the Europe Open ROM because the Carphone one is corrupted.


Anyone else have this same exact problem? Help me out please!
 
I Got A Problem My Battery Charging is Charging Till 90% and Showing Full In settings but it is etting discharged to 85% in 2 to 3 mins what to do.........

Brilliant! The first boot takes a while, but after that, it'll boot up in about a minute or so :)

When in fastboot mode, even if the drivers don't install, try to flash Cyanogen and see if it works :)

Cheers for getting back to me sir, thank you.

Would I need to change drivers? They are the same as before... Which was all working fine until I flash'd it! I've tried different ports etc and still no joy..

Nope, same drivers. Try this:

1. Make sure the phone is disconnected
2. Re-install the drivers found in the KDZ updater .zip file (LGAndroidDriver_WHQL_ML_Ver_1.0_All_Win7.exe)
3. Plug in your phone and wait for the drivers to install

Hopefully that should work! :D

When i put in the command fastboot.exe -w, I get this message <Waiting for device>... and it seems to be stuck there. There must be a way to get my drivers installed again because other people are getting it to work.

EDIT: Also, Vista doesn't recognize it as an LG device anymore(if in fastboot), it's searching for 'Android' drivers.
 
Dude.. Uninstalled, reinstalled (3rd time..) and it worked.

Cheers! :D
