Yes.
Unlock it, then flash with the WM6 rom of your choice.
Read and inwardly digest from the links in my above post and you'll be fine.
If you think it's all above your head or your too scared to do it then either leave alone or find someone near to you that's technically minded to help.

Samsung i780 - Is it possible to run Hard SPL and other ROMs?

Hello Everyone!
I want to thank you all for making this site so informative and to the point - as I have been a frequent visitor since the days of my first (original) SPV. I have finally decided to try a different phone to my usual HTC choice and have just got the Orange i780 (which is a great phone! )
I was wondering if it might be possible to run something like HARD SPL on it and then put on a cooked ROM as the supplied Orange ROM is, as ever, far from thrilling. I would appreciate any help and if anyone wants some more information about the phone (as so little is currently available at the moment) ask away - and I will reply as soon as I get the chance.
Thank you!

I was going to get one of these, is it worth having? Have orange removed all the samsung stuff and put on their own stupid menu?

yup- they have. But its a gorgeous phone so as soon as it becomes possible to put new ROMs on it, it will be one of the best ones around in its form factor. Its nice to have something that feels half the weight of the TYTN2 and more than half as thin

Has anyone got an english rom working on the German Version of the i780? I see it is availiable on www.handit.de at a much cheaper price.

Has anyone tried the SDHC compatibility yet, I want to order a MicroSD card and will get the 8GB if it supports it?

Definetely. It's the fastest WM device ever. The mousepad is really cool. Better resolution (also yet, many programms have problems with it, not correct displaying etc.). Amazing build quality.
One thing that's missing is a cooked rom. The Software has bugs over bugs. a developer customized rom would be amazing.
But the device itself and esp. it's performance (processor) is the best ever!

As a favor to the community would you be so kind as to upload the SDHC drivers from the i780 to the FTP section of the site? That way people with other Samsung devices (SCH-i760, SGH-i760, SCH-i730 etc) could perhaps get full usage out of their SD Cards? The SGH-i780 itself looks pretty cool. Did it come unlocked?

Re: drivers
Hi Dominick,
I would e happy to help but have no idea what thedrivers you are talking about are or how I could get them off the phone - so if you can give me step by step instructions, I will happily do so. No, the phone is locked - and I can't wait to be able to put on cooked ROMs and use another SIM with it. Apart from the ROM gripes, loving the phone!

So in the i780's current state is it full of bugs?...generic and orange branded?
Also,would it not be possible to dump the rom from the generic and then flash to the orange branded device.
Thanks

You make it sound like putting on a diff ROM would be very easy - please let me know how! I have always had to use HardSPL and other methods prior to that... Itsnot really full of bugs, its just the annoying ROM orange with useless things there and ... well I just want to run Schap's ROM for example or any other I choose

Sorry i got no idea im afraid....But i thought thats the way it works.....Use a rom dumper which will dump the rom to a memory card and then build a installable ROM from the dump of the generic handset.
Might be wrong though.

I don't think the i780 is full of bugs, more a couple of glitches which aren't too annoying.
There is no vital bug and there is nothing which can't be fixed with the next OS update.
The most annoying thing was actually that the i780 didn't come with any navigation/GPS software and apparently only Google Maps and Garmin XT mobile seem to work fine, the others(like Tom Tom 6 for example) require the tool GpsGate to work with the i780.
The i780 is VERY fast, not only the CPU but also the GPU. I actually started to love this little thing, it really is a stylish and pretty light powerhouse.
Right now, I think the i780 is the most powerful Windows Mobile 6 Professional smartphone on the market(considering CPU & GPU performance) and also the most underestimated device too. Battery life is decent too, build quality is impaccable. I just wish Samsung would have provided a 5MP camera and a quadband GSM/Triband UMTS functionality, especially since the new Marvell CPU seems to provide hardware support for both.

I have managed to get hold of an Italian version but need a UK ROM .... anyone managed to get hold of one?
Is there any other way to change the ROM to English?

Is this the one from ebay?
I should be getting mine in the next few days
Cant you like hard reset it same with HTC's and then select the language at the start?

Have you tried holding down 6 and the # key when you power the phone up..this should hard reset it....if its like other samsung win mobiles.

Yes from Ebay ... arrived next day .....
Have done a hard reset ... no joy.

Ahh thought so.....I was going to bid and then it ended.
Hmmm.....i would of thought all the roms are the same

Really lovely piece of kit though .... using it anyway .... crash course in Italian ! LOL

ha ha ha....
Theres gotta be a way to change the language ...hopefully someone will know.

8525 reverting back to ATT rom

I am interested in trying on of the cooked Roms on my ATT 8525, however I am concerned about converting back to the ATT rom. I would like to use the K's WM6.0 Lite FINAL from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350695
Can I just run the ATT WM6 install like I did when I upgraded from WM5? Or do I need to do something more complicated?
I am sorry for my newbishness, I do not do a whole lot with WM devices, I am mainly a server/pc/network tech.
Thank you for your help,
Gihzmo

it can be done pretty much exactly the same.
ive actually reflashed an att rom back onto a phone after having several roms, and sent the phone back to get it replaced with the warranty

Yes, thats all you have to do if you go back to the AT&T ROM for the 8525. Same as upgrading from WM5.... Good luck and Read, Read, Read.. This forum is addicting...

You say pretty much, is there something I need to know? hehehe
This is my work phone so I seriously dont want to screw up

install hardspl first, with that chances of you turning your phone into a brick dramatically reduces by a factor of 2854.23 exactly

Although you don't HAVE to install hardspl, i've never had a problem just doing safe softspl installs..

Thank you guys very much, im looking for the HardSPL download now and I am going to flash to K's WM6.0 Lite FINAL.

HardSPL is one of the greatest gifts, as XtreMe_G says. Actually I can't imagine not HardSPLing, why take a chance....
I paid $500 buckazoids for my 8525, with the 2 year. Explaining a "brick" to my wife (much less Cingular) when I had the means to not brick... I don't think so.

As a precaution, it's always worth reading MrVanx's Hermes Upgrade Guide

Thank you for your help, I got the new rom on the phone with almost no trouble. I had some issues with my direct push email. But I fixed that by removing the proxy that was set.
This is much, much faster then then the rom I was running before (ATT WM6 release).
The only other problem I seem to have is the weather doesnt seem to want to connect, I looked it up and figured out the code for my city (Danville VA USA) I used NAM|US|VA|DANVILLE
This works if you go through the Accuweather website, but it doesnt want to connect through the phone... anyone have any ideas? The phone goes out to the internet fine, getting email and browsing.

there is plenty of threads about this including this one

I have 4gb free on my SD card but running out of memory. How to move stuff to SD?

Hey all,
I have loads of space on my SD card but an already finding out that I'm running out of phone memory. I don't think I have that many apps installed but can't seen to move a lot of them to the SD card.
How can I do this or make more space no the phone?

Can only be done with a custom ROM using A2SD+

Wow. I'm a little new to Android, but that seems like a big oversight by Google, or is this a restriction imposed by HTC?

not really HTC. up to app developers to update their apps to allow apps2sd. even then not all of the app will be moved.
tbh wanting to install more apps is the main reason many of us root in the first place. that and many other goodies too!
custom rom with at least A2SD+ is the way to go!

I have been holding out for as long as possible as the phone is a works unit, but not only that, its from Orange. As there is no Orange ROM for the Desire available, I have no real way of going back to a near stock condition in case the phone need to be returned.
However, I didn't realise that even something like this would be a limitation of the stock ROM

I woudl say not fully true.
There is a bunch of alternatives to A2SD like data2ext or data2sd
StarBurst ROM is even including DATA2SD With up to 2GB of storage!

yes quite annoying. i take back a little bit what i said before about htc, sort of their fault too for providing minimal app storage space.
when u say from orange i take it u mean orange branded right? not an expert, but i thought there would be an orange rom out there if they pushed out an update. mayb search around a bit more?
took me a while before i decided to take the plunge and root. read loads of these pages before i had the guts. never looked back since though! only way to fully unleash the phone's true potential!

Yep, Orange Branded. I have swapped over ROMs on a previous Windows phone, but that was a personal phone. Apparently ther isn't an Orange ROM release as it has never been leaked. I must say that I have read then several times now and have yet to see anything to the contrary after a couple of months of looking. Of course, I would be happy the be wrong here.

hmm, that is annoying if it is true, would have thought someone would have leaked it somewhere! slightly annoying combo of branded and work phone too...
i take it you only want the rom as a 'just in case'? i found it v scary at first but there r so many ppl and forums to deal with virtually every problem. the chances of bricking it r small if u follow instructions. if you've been looking for a couple of months then by the sounds of it u would like to go thru with this, and i bet u've probably memorised how to do the steps in your head by now.
to be fair i thought i bricked my phone after trying to flash my first rom. scared the crap out of me. but that turned out to be a bad sd card, nothing wrong with my method as i was following the steps exactly. i did use the RUU to start again so it did come in handy...

Space to me is always and issue
Root to increase space..and of course to miui...I just upgraded from a 16gb to a 32gb. Be warned..once you root and start installing Rome you may get addicted.

[Q] Sandisk 64 GB MicroSD

Hey guys,
I read the thread by ThaGreatest regarding this MicroSD and it was veery useful, however, I don't want to bump a 4 month-old thread.
This is the MicroSD card that I am planning on ordering: http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-MicroSDXC-Memory-Adapter-SDSDQU-064G-AFFP-A/dp/B009QZH6JS
I used the search function and found a lot of people complaining about it, although, if I remember correctly, someone mentioned in some thread that simply formatting (from exFAT to FAT32) should do the trick. If this MicroSD isn't reliable, does anyone have any suggestions to good MicroSD cards that will work?
I am currently running the CM10.1 rom. I would appreciate it greatly if anyone who has used this MicroSD card and a custom rom could attest to how well it functions.
Thanks!

Anyone have any suggestions?

I recall a post at least a year back when these cards came out.
The simple solution is to format it with the device and it seems to work fine.
You can try digging it up and PMing the OP to see if it still works, if OP still has the device.
I am included to think it will work fine though.

It works pretty damn good. I have the 64gb card and now I can have multiple seasons of any show I have, tons of music and of course still have plenty of space for my apps. The read is descent at 12mb/s. I have the 10 class. U need a program like easeus partition manager to format the card into fat32. Hope this was helpful
