Guest triti3 Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 Hi, As per the title I have used KDZ to flash from stock CPW 1.6 rom to CPW 2.1 rom and all went smoothly. Despite this when the phone is booted I no longer get ANDROID showing on the black boot screen. After around 20-30 secs I can hear the (normal) boot sound and when I press the power on / off button it goes to the Home page - all then works ok. Is the above normal ? I find it strange the start up logo advertising has been removed and it doesnt automatically show the home page when it has finished booting. I have tried a hard factory re-set and that didnt make any difference. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest S1RDaniel Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 (edited) Got the same problem here, have you tried any fastboot rom before? Edited November 6, 2010 by S1RDaniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest triti3 Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Got the same problem here, have you tried any fastboot rom before? No I haven't tried any fastboot rom. Re the 1st comment from ilovelg: - as the phone now doesnt doesnt boot straight into a useable screen (unlike any other phone I have had), how am I supposed to know if it was a completely successful flash or if this is just a standard part of the CPW 2.1 rom ?? Is the CPW rom missing a boot animation file and if so can i be added ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest flyboyovyick Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Choose a boot animation here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696193 Download VGA Re name the file to bootanimation.zip no need root. put bootanimation.zip in the adb folder. open dos prompt and type this. ADB Push bootanimation /data/local and reboot your phone. gt540 screen is vga 320 x 480 pixel. The boot screens looks like: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest triti3 Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 ADB push carried out to transfer a boot animation zip as suggested above. Data shows as transferred in cmd prompt - but this doesnt make any difference. It is still blank - no boot animation shows. Any further ideas or is it a crippled CPW rom?

Guest Swâmi Petaramesh Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 I've lost boot logo animation 1st time I used KDZ updater to flash my GT540 from France Orange 1.6 FW to France Bouygues 2.1. Since I flashed every available 2.1 FW out there to try and restore my boot anim, to no avail. I'm now running 2.1 Europe (fine), still without any boot logo / animation, booting in the dark. Tried to upload bootanimation.zip to the phone, several versions, and it didn't help either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest playtime44 Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 (edited) I'm running Baltic 2.1 and boot logo was ok so far, however today I tried flashing the Open European ROM. The flash failed (one of many in my struggle to re-flash my Optimus) and the phone works fine after I replaced the battery. However boot logo/animation is gone now - I can only hear the booting sound. I finally managed to reflash it and it still boots without a logo. Hope there's a fix. I don't know if it's relevant, but this particular time that my flash attempt failed with a general error prompt, I also noticed another error in the log. I think I have the log saved on my office computer, and I'll post it tomorrow. Perhaps that would give us a lead what went wrong this time and hopefully give an idea how to fix the missing logo.

However now that I read it carefully, it doesn't seem relevant to the issue at hand. Edited November 17, 2010 by playtime44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest fishears Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Any new idea how to back my boot logo's ??? pls help Look at my thread here: http://android.modaco.com/content/lg-gt540...logo-animation/ It's all explained. If you lose the LG logo then changing the bootanimation.zip will not help you - basically there's nothing on your phone to load up that animation... Just do what it says in my post and you'll get your logo's and boot animation back. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
