1. fastboot -w
2. fastboot reboot (as soon LG logo appear press and keep pressed volume down button and power button) - you'll get download mode, then connect to PC USB cable.
Make sure you have disabled the LG MODEM driver in device manager.
4: Flash original 2.1 ROM using KDZ_FW_UPD as normal (but you can do this from now on ONLY with fastboot enabled roms).
Thanx a lot, didn't expected to get a quick reply. Now I'm again running 2.1 (UK+Fastboot) without any problems. The reason I shifted back to 2.1 was I needed MP4 recording badly as my Camcorder has become a trash and also there are some bugs in CyanogenMod. Else everything is fantastic!!
Hmm :\ i guess you could try it, if it doesn't work, then maybe it's your SD Card, cause mines working perfectly fine, its unbranded, a 4GB card that came with my old Nokia 5530 XPressMusic phone.. I was thinking of getting an 8GB Sandisk one, but if they dont work...

My personal experience with this CyanogenMod:
1. The phone now runs marvelously smooth. Even faster than 2.1.
2. Apps2SD, USB tethering and a lot more Froyo things are available now, except for Flash Player
3. MP4 recording and FM Radio missing, many tiny bugs present (like sudden Force Closes)
4. Damn, CyanogenMod just rocks!!!
Just one more question, how can I add language fonts, coz it does have Hindi support???

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!
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..
I managed to update my phone with KDZ file. But I'm stuck now with CyanogenMod. My computer doesn't recognise my phone even though It's on fastboot mode.
My computer has window Vista OS and LG PC suite is installed on it.
I have tried several suggestions on the threads but still has no luck.
I skip the root and back up proses cos I just got my phone a week ago and I thought it won't be a problem.
*Please make sure you read the instructions properly!! People are replying to this post saying the problems they're having when the answer is that they didn't read the post properly. If you are having problems, then refer back to the instructions and make sure you followed the steps EXACTLY as they're written. Thanks!
Make a backup of your 2.1 ROM before you update in case you want to go back to 2.1/you are having problems with 2.2. To do this, flash your phone with the fastboot ROM and install recovery via the instructions below, then go to recovery and make a backup of the current 2.1 ROM to restore back to if you have any problems
Update: Recovery is now included in the .zip file as an optional install, instructions are updated!
Quarx and ankuch from 4pda.ru are working on porting CyanogenMod 6.1 Android 2.2.1 to the LG GT540, it's available to download although it's still in beta stage so there are a few bugs in it.
Here's the list from the site saying what works and doesn't (I'll update this list as they do): What's working: Wifi, GSM (Mobile Data), Camera (photo / video in 3GP), Bluetooth (receiving / sending files / HID), Video Codec (Hardware only H264), stereo audio to the headset, 3D accelerator, detectors, GPS / AGPS, navigate base stations, installing programs on a flash drive (Apps2SD).

Make sure you follow the instructions exactly as they're written. As always, with flashing your phone, there's always the risk of bricking your phone. I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your phone because of flashing custom firmware. But I will do my best to try and help you with any problems you might encounter
To install this ROM you need to have fastboot enabled on your phone. If you have Android 1.6/2.1 installed from LG, then fastboot is not enabled. I will explain how to enable fastboot on your phone (this involves re-flashing/replacing your currently installed firmware):
KDZ Updater Europe Open.zip - A link to a zip archive with all the files needed to flash Android version 2.1 with fastboot (Europe Open)
Download the version that best applies to you, if you live in the UK, I'd recommend you download the Carphone Warehouse Unlocked version, whereas if you live in Europe, I'd recommend the Europe Open version (simple right? )
Now, how to flash these versions; I'll explain in detail how to flash the ROM's from starting with backing up.
Instructions to install ROM with Fastboot:
1. Before you start, make sure you backup all your data by installing the z4root.1.3.0.apk file onto your phone, then open it and choose 'Permanent Root'. Your phone will root and reboot. Then go to the Market and install 'MyBackup Root', open it and do a backup of your apps and personal data (contacts, sms, call log etc.) Once this is done, go to Settings>SD Card and Phone Storage>Unmount SD Card, a notification in the notification bar should appear saying 'SD Card safe to remove'. Remove the battery cover and remove the SD card and store it in a safe place. Then continue to step 2.
2. Extract the .zip file you downloaded to your computer (e.g. your desktop). Open the folder and install MSXML 4.0 SP3 Parser (msxml.msi).
3. Once that has finished, install LGAndroidDriver_WHQL_ML_Ver1.0_All_Win7.exe which are the drivers so your computer will recognize your phone. Windows XP Users download this driver, extract the contents anywhere (e.g. desktop), right-click on the 'android_usb.inf' file and click 'Install'.
4. Next, open KDZ_FW_UPD.exe
(i) Change 'Type' to '3GQCT' *THIS IS A MUST, THE UPDATE WILL NOT WORK OTHERWISE AND YOU MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE*
(ii) Make sure 'PhoneMode' is set to 'DIAG'
(iii) Browse for the 'V20B_00+Fastboot.kdz' file.
5. Prepare the phone by enabling USB Debugging by going to Settings>Applications>Development>Enable USB Debugging and connect the phone to the computer via USB cable and wait for the drivers to install for the phone.
6. Click 'Launch software update' and do not use your computer until the update is complete. The update will take roughly 10-20 mins to complete.
Instructions to install CyanogenMod:
Once the update is complete, your phone will reboot, what you need to do is power off the phone and whilst the phone is off, press and hold the 'Camera' button all the way and power on the phone, make sure you hold the 'Camera' button. The phone will display the LG logo and disappear, then display a blank screen. The phone is now in fastboot mode!
Now you want to download this file: Flashing CyanogenMod.zip and extract it to a folder called 'Android' (without the quotes '') on the C: drive (you'll probably need to make this folder yourself.
1. Now open CMD with administrator privileges (Search for CMD in the start menu and right click on 'cmd' and click 'Run as Administrator' )
2. Connect the phone to your computer via USB cable and wait for the necessary drivers to install.
4. Your phone will now reboot with CyanogenMod 6.1.1 (Android 2.2.1). The first boot might take longer than a normal boot.
5. You can now re-insert your SD card and go to Settings>SD Card and Phone Storage>Mount SD Card
Enjoy!
The instructions for flashing both the firmware with fastboot and flashing CyanogenMod are included in the zip archives called 'Readme'. I'll update the links so that you'll always have the most up to date version of CyanogenMod available for download, note that if you choose to update your phone you will loose all your data including apps etc. so backup before you update
I managed to update my phone with KDZ file. But I'm stuck now with CyanogenMod. My computer doesn't recognise my phone even though It's on fastboot mode.
My computer has window Vista OS and LG PC suite is installed on it.
I have tried several suggestions on the threads but still has no luck.
I skip the root and back up proses cos I just got my phone a week ago and I thought it won't be a problem.
Now i can send MMS messages no problem, and receive them, i just cannt see the attachments, pic,vid's or files that come attached. Yeah i tried those other APN settings and they didnt work at all. Maybe i have some setting set incorrectly somewhere?
Also is it possible to set up the data settings to connect and recieve MMS ONLY and not connect the internet?
Apart from this i'm loving it, after installing setcpu it runs real sweet, yeah i get the odd stall or something but even then, it so much better than 2.1.

Can you explain this more clearly please?
I been trying to follow these and it confuses me :<
I can't set it too 600mb.. it goes to 256mb..
And what do you mean "Swap file position on SD Card FAT Partition"?
Thanks
I tried the all four USB sockets in my computer and every single one asked the phone driver to be installed. I browse from the ZIP file which I extracted or window automatic update but both of them were failed to provide the driver.
For more information, previously I upgraded my phone with Baltic V10D KDZ.
I'm just wondering if it effects the CyanogenMod installation.
I hope someone had the same problem as me and already solved the problem
I'm experiencing new problems:
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.
2. Sometimes the SD Card automatically unmounts even when everything is fine and there's no problem with the SD card.
2. When I try to backup using ClockWorkMod everything remains fine, but when it comes to 'Generating md5 sum', there comes an error 'Error generating md5sum'. I cannot understand what's happening with my phone now?

My phone is running android 2.1 anyway. So isn't that bad.
I hope the newer android version will be available soon for GT 540 and I have more luck for that.
