I will help.

Take the battery out.

Put the battery back in.

Press and hold the Home button and power on.

Hold the Home button until the recovery appears, then you can let go.

Hope this Helps!!

If you flash fastboot/recovery 2.1 directly from 1.6 there is no boot anim/recovery screen. Flash an official 2.1 first, power on, do a factory default, click over the setup wizard. You can flash then any 2.1 rom with/without fastboot/recovery, boot anim will be ok.
For restoring boot anim there is a solution, bit risky but worked for some.
I will translate from original hungarian forum in the next post.

WARNING!
Dangerous process! You can brick your phone!

Original post:

Take out battery/sim/sd
Start flashing with open europe v10c rom
Will stop at 4% with an error, no logo, stucked in download mode.

Pull out USB cable and pop in the battery (but no sd/sim).
Switch on phone with volume down+power until it vibrates.
With internet connection on pc, plug in usb cable.
If windows detect new devices let them install.
Open device manager and disable LGE Android USB Modem.
Flash factory baltic v20b the usual way.
Flash process will be slow, % indicator does not move!
Flash will be complete when the phone reboots with bootlogo/anim :rolleyes:
Do a factory reset and ready!

Hi there,

I have a GT540 that lost its boot logo animation while upgrading from 1.6 to 2.1 the 1st time. Since I tried a lot a reflashes to different 2.1 flavours, but none restored my bootup anim.

I tried to follow this post's indications but never could flash any part of 1.6 back into my phone ; KDZ updater bails out immediately in error. Also I never saw any kind of percentage indication or progress bar in KDZ updater, so I'm wondering, are you using another flashing tool ??

If you put a bootanimation to the /system/media or /data/local does not solve the problem .You will be able to play it from adb console but will not work if you boot the phone. Replacing the whole boot partition also does not solve the problem. You are on a wrong way. I think the splash partition should be replaced .

After flashing out.kdz i cs_emergency i can see "fastboot mode" and "Download mode" on my screen but still no LG logo :/. Recovery isn't working with this version o rom:/ I need to get image of flash block from working phone (cat /dev/mtd/mtd3 > /sdcard/mtd3.img) to make small compare. It will be nice if it will have 393*216 bytes long like in my flash:
cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00500000 00020000 "boot"
mtd1: 04000000 00020000 "cache"
mtd2: 00500000 00020000 "recovery"
mtd3: 00060000 00020000 "splash"
mtd4: 0f500000 00020000 "system"
mtd5: 002c0000 00020000 "lgdrm"
mtd6: 08b80000 00020000 "userdata"
mtd7: 00080000 00020000 "usd"
mtd8: 005a0000 00020000 "pkg"
mtd9: 1cfc0000 00020000 ""
Because some of people (and me before out.kdz) have it like this:
cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00500000 00020000 "boot"
mtd1: 04000000 00020000 "cache"
mtd2: 00500000 00020000 "recovery"
mtd3: 183c0000 00020000 "splash"
mtd4: 0f500000 00020000 "system"
mtd5: 00200000 00020000 "lgdrm"
mtd6: 08a00000 00020000 "userdata"
mtd7: 00100000 00020000 "misc"
mtd8: 1dd60000 00020000 "usd"
mtd9: 00500000 00020000 "pkg"
mtd10: 1cfc0000 00020000 ""

    I followed the instructions in post 22 and 23 and it fixed my boot animations. This is exactly what I did:

    1) download the French v20A (hxxp://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/GT540/ANEUBK/V20a_00/V20A_00.kdz) and the out.kdz (hxxp://narod.ru/disk/25473801000/out.kdz.html)
    2) Take out your battery, SIM and SD card
    3) plug USB into PC (but not phone yet)
    4) hold Vol - button and plug USB into phone - phone goes into Download Mode
    5) run KDZ Updater, put it into CS_Emergency mode
    6) select French V20A rom and flash it
    7) when it's finished pull out USB again and hold Vol - and reinsert USB to put phone back in Download Mode
    8) in KDZ Updater (still in CS_Emergency mode) select out.kdz and flash it

    You should now have your boot anims back and you can flash whatever rom you want to use.

    solution to get logo

    solution from 4PDA

    flash first french firmware _hxxp://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/GT540/ANEUBK/V20a_00/V20A_00.kdz

    (you must make kdz flasher fullscreen and change right option to CS_EMERGENCY)

    dont boot android , remove accu reinsert them and press vol - and plug usb cable into port on mainboard - you must get in download mode )

    flash firmware with fastboot (i use CIS _hxxp://narod.ru/disk/26675062000/V20B_00.kdz.html)

    boot android and flash this firmware _hxxp://narod.ru/disk/25473801000/out.kdz.html

    after this you must see all logo ( LG , Motion LG , Android )

    after this flash firmware you like (custom fastboot e t с)

    maybe some point is not needed but this tutorial work 100% and tested by myself

    Flash only v20a > out.kdz .
    Always pull out SIM card, memory card and battery.
    Hold down volume- and plug in USB cable - phone should display download mode then set kdz-flasher to cs-emergency and flash.
    It's good to do hard reset before flashing.
