Guest cj1967 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 After hours of frustration I finally got my phone connected to my laptop with help from this site, and started the update process from Android 1.6 to 2.1. It keeps stopping at 4% saying it has lost connection to the phone. It then says to disconnect remove battery reconnect holding down volume key and then reinserting battery when download mode appears, did all this but phone just restarts and then says it cant connect and so on and on. Came out of it in end, phone still working and on 1.6. Any clues how to resolve this please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing you have tried the obvious but in case you haven't check that you haven't got the USB MASS STORAGE MODE incorrectly set in your phones settings and also try using your usb cable in a different usb port on your computer as, weird as it may sound, sometimes a faulty usb socket can cause problems. I have a laptop where one socket will appear to work but not charge a phone connected to it, for example. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are using your PC to install the ROM make sure that you use a USB Port at the rear of your computer. Some people have mentioned that Front USB Ports have issues and sometimes cause the install to freeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mistermentality Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Do you know what the settings should be? I know I had problems with my LG rom update via usb until I realised you have to change the setting in the settings menu so that USB MASS STORAGE MODE is un ticked. Also it is possible that another setting in one of the setting screens menu choices, that reads USB DEBUGGING MODE may be switched to on and may need to be switched off though I've read so many posts about different things you can do with phones here I cannot recall off the top of my head whether it is supposed to be on or off for an update. I think it is supposed to be off. And, before I forget, you should have a fairly well charged battery when you upgrade. I know that the phone does charge up when connected by usb but apparently you do need to charge your battery up before you update. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If yes, forget about it-follow this tutorial and you are good to go. Tutorial: http://android.modaco.com/content/lg-gt540...ference-thread/ If no, go to LG service they will update your phone.
