Great news! gonna try now, thanks.

just tried to update only the pda portion and confirmed it is working dxhc4. mouse drivers updated, however unable to perform hard reset. unsure whether hard reset might be embedded in the eboot portion.

Thanx a million, will try it out today

Tried to flash the full image and successfully flashed all 3 components. Most importantly, hard-reset is functional! Thanks for the dxhc4

How to update the mouse drivers?

Thank you, fhfoomelaka.
At first I flashed only eboot, hard-reset feature worked but PDA part was erased.
Then I flashed all the part. I get new Phone and Hard-Reset feature.
I thank you again, fhfoomelaka.

Can someone post a intructions?? I am reading posts and posts but I cant find it

Hi, I'm Italian and have an Italian i780. Is there anyone who can confirm that phone section (radio) in this firmware is compatible with my italian device?

Instructions for what? How to flash the ROM? If so, take a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=388067
Except that this image contains the eboot+PDA+PHONE, so you get to update everything

When I run mirage v1.8 and I click on pda button and I navigate to i780_DXHC4_Rev12.img the program doesnt see it. Should I decompress the img file or similar?
how to covert img file to bin file?

You must not click pda button but eboot+pda+phone button.

Anyone knows about this?

when you should have a 780 which is in language Dutch (OS) and you want to have the hard reset function and these bugs fixed, but want to keep your own language wm6.. is it possible to only flash the E-boot and PDA with holding on to my own Dutch based WM6 os ?
Or it doesnt work like this?

hehe, thanks. When I press "Detect" the text "Waiting the device remains for ever and the device is connected". What I should do?
I installed Samsung_CDMA_modem_4.34. Is this correct?

I generally connect the device when it's off. Then I turn it on normally and Mirage automatically starts flashing.

Does this mean you flashed your device twice? Once for eboot and once for the pda part alone?
Can you please explain in a little more detail how you did it? thanks..

Yep you need to flash a new rom because as far as I know thats the only way it can be changed since its written at the same time as the ROM. Tom's B&Bv3 has just changed mine from the o2 default to the HTC logo, ask him how he did it but I'm pretty sure you need a new ROM with the logo of your choice embedded.
PS: Don't think you can do the log seperately either but I'm sure a more knowledgable person will be along shortly

Totally not going for me.. just upgraded to wm6 and the new activesync... maybe that's the reason?
There was a way I heard of using the RUU and replacing a file with the new image you wanted for splash...
"Perhaps you should look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=12898.
There is a great program on there for converting pictures to .nb files and also a CAB which, when run, will change the boot images.
This does require putting the splash1.nb and splash2.nb files into the /windows/ directory before running MDA3_bootimage_changer2.CAB,
but if you want to just run a CAB file you can just edit that CAB and place your own created splash1.nb and splash2.nb files
in it with the location set as /windows/ (I tried it with WinCE CAB Manager and this way works as well)."

It does depend on the rom, B&B v1 & 2 didn't update my boot screen but v3 did so maybe you've got an old version? Are you actually using the B&B rom at all? Not all rom updates change the boot screen, it depends on the chef if they include em in the first place

B&B? Did i miss something?
Tried two ways:
1: making the splash1 and splash2
2: tried RUU updating the splash, but fails, think it's the new activesync.
Did i mention that i'm trying this on a htc p3300?
Sorry, B&B is Black & Blue. Its the ROM that Tom Codon has been releasing and updating for the P3300\Artemis\Orbit.

hi,
I flash with LVSW's full update with 1.13Oli SPL, During the first screen I select Force SSPL. After flash the ROM I got white backgroud on Today's screen. I read through few people's experience with white background and try to fix it. Nothing works so I flash the OS only upgrade. The upgrade stop in middle of flashing. Later I discover the DL files were bad. Now, my 8525 bootup into 3 color screen with:
herm 1.13Oli screen. No activeSync connection..... In XP I can see the MobileDevice, but nothing within the folder.
Is it my device is now brick??
Any help will be appreciate.

go to the Hard-SPL thread, download the new Hard-SPL.
when flashing, select 1.11 and tick Hard-SPL (or don't, doesn't really matter).
go through the flash, let it update your SPL.
now, with 1.30, flash the latest LVSW WM6 ROM, or any other
Hi,
Thx for the fast response.
I have DL your newest Hard-SPL V4 version 1.30Oli. When I run the update it shows error (264) connection. No matter what, it will not update.
I have remove and reinstall activesync, but XP will find the device, but no activesync connection.

Yes is possible.
Download a full rom (like the italian one).
Launch the full upgrade with the phone disconnected
kill the mirage client with the task manger
You will find the rom splitted in 3 files on the C:\ directory.
Copy the _phone.bin file somewhere.
Then relaunch the mirage client and choose to flash the pone part only with the above file.
You will need the smsung generic modem drivers (the ones for the i600 or i607 are ok) to flash the phone section.
hi,
in my case i780 connect on wifi but internet explorer don't work.
It only works when i an on data provider.
Thank you for that tip Solutor,
I will give it a try now.
BTW - is the Italian ROM newer then mine?
mine is -
PDA: i780DXHA1
PHONE: i780DXGL2
And, why if so, wy don't I install the italiam ROM as a whole (not just the radio part) and then add my languages?
and ...will it affect the Radio of the GPS as well?
Amazing!
You have solved my problem!
Thank you!
I have been working on this for a week now, and finally...you came up with it
3G is working and now even the GPS is showing some "living symoptoms" ( I still have to play with it more).
Cheers
Me too i have flashed the radio and the wifi works
I can now confirm that the device works flawlessly !
GPS hooks up in a few seconds (after an initial 5 minutes for the first time) and everything works superb! no third parties (port Splitter, GPSGate, etc.) required!
Soluter - you made my day!

Kill mirage from the process tab, not from the application tab.
Another way is flashing the whole italian rom, then flashing back the english one (as the one that is lying around is the pda part only)
BTW, I'm trying to upload somewhere the splitted rom, stay tuned!

read flash firmware using odin. i recommend one of the jmX firmwares. the newest of them being WXJM7
thanks a lot for the help, i will never forget you. i was scared of losing the warranty and not solving this issue. if i am right, the method will work because i didnt know that you can make an entrance to the system. i checked the download mode and it works, i am now stuck with my pc until i repair it and on the firmware. 2 questions: 1. if the drivers of the sgs are installed, do i need to remove kies and reinstall it or something like that? and 2. if i did the factory reset, was the internal sd card formatted? thanks a lot again.

1)Hi there. There is no need to uninstall/reinstall kies, in fact u do not have to open it to be able to use odin. You can view this video tutorial first part and second part for illustration purposes. If you are unable to connect to odin you can open kies and reinstall your drivers with it.
2) As far as I know when you do a factory reset only your system reserved partition of your internal sdcard is formatted. The rest of your data in /SDCARD will remain untouched.
Senior members pls correct me if I'm wrong.

theoretically you WILL loose your warranty when you use odin to flash a firmware, in reality the will never find out as long as you don't brick it during flashing...if you want to be 100% on the save side (regarding the warranty) you can also flash the original firmware (JF3 for me) back. personally i would not worry about that ...

as i wrote above i recommend a JMX one (JM6 or JM7) as they are really stable. i use JPC (android 2.2) which works well for me but there are people reporting serious problems like locked phones and overwritten IMEI's. therefore i wouldn't recommend this for unexperienced people...
i don't want to worry you but there are people who managed to brick their phones with odin. it's very very unlikely if you follow the instructions precisely. just that you know ... read the howto's carefully before proceeding!
Again..

i agree but desperate people don't care about forum-rules which is why we have so many threads like this in the dev section. i guess the only way to solve this would be if an admin/mod would manually move them
i will consider this and i understand that it has some risk, but i think this is my only chance. also, i hope the 0.05 percent chance of a major electricity fail will not ruine my phone. for clarifying: is this reflash like the windows reinstalation with different update packs? if the process will be done completely, is there a chance for the black screen will be still there? i am a little nervous, not scared as the first time, but if the process dont work, is there any chance to repair it through samsung with some costs?

Hey there buddy.
I can see that you are really concerned about messing things up. But really, don't worry. It has some down falls, but flashing with Odin is might safe. And as was earlier recommended, you can try flashing to either JM6 or JM7. Both are very stable releases. Here are a couple of links, one for the JM6 and the other for JM7. Trust me when I say this, IT WILL BE ALL RIGHT.....
JM6: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765032
JM7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770821
This is another link to a brilliant post by Darkstriker. This is a well thought of FAQ's. It will guide you properly. Follow instructions to the letter and you will be all right.

It would also be a good idea to do a factory data reset after you are done flashing.
Take the plunge buddy. Be cool.....
Cheers....
Whoops.... Almost forgot. This is a link provided by Darkstriker in his FAQ. This is a faster website to download from. Let me give you direct links to the JM6 and the JM7 and the Odin and PIT files.
JM6
JM7
Odin And PIT File: https://www.wuala.com/Samsung Galax...Odin & Bootloader(.PIT)/Old/?key=AfzUZSU4SpKU
You will need both the files listed on the linked page (Odin and PIT File)
Plus you will also need the CSC files. Choose the correct one from the link below after finding the relevant info from the JM6 and JM7 links. If still in doubt, ask away.
CSC: https://www.wuala.com/Samsung Galax...C fo XWJM6, XFJM6 and XWJM7/?key=AfzUZSU4SpKU

No problem. Will try and walk you through this.
After you have downloaded either of the JM6 or the JM7, and you have extracted the files, you will see the PDA and the modem files. You will also have to download the relevant CSC file that is specific to your region. Also, make sure that Odin and the PIT files have been downloaded.
Let me give you simple steps to work your way through.
1. Make sure Samsung Kies is NOT RUNNING including in the notification area.
2. Disconnect your phone and switch it off.
3. Start Odin
4. Make sure the three options, "Re-Partition", "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" are TICKED
5. Click on the "PIT" button and select the "s1_odin_20100512" file you downloaded.
6. Put your phone into download mode by using the key combination: POWER DOWN + HOME KEY + POWER KEY. When you see the yellow triangle, release all buttons.
7. Connect your phone and wait for the drivers to get installed.
8. Click on the "Start" button and wait for the process to finish. This will be indicated by the words "PASS" with a green background. DO NOT DISCONNECT THE PHONE TILL YOU SEE THE WORDS "PASS"
9. Remove the battery and put the phone into download mode again. (Step 6)
10. In Odin, click the "Reset" button and UNCHECK the "Re-Partition" option and keep the remaining two options CHECKED.
11. Click the "PDA" button and select the file starting with "CODE"
12. Click the "PHONE" button and select the file starting with "MODEM"
13. Click the "CSC" button and select the CSC file which you have chosen. (NOTE: You will have to extract the file from the CSC package you have downloaded and not the actual archive)
14. Connect the phone
15. Click on the "START" button and wait till Odin finishes its process. Again, DO NOT DISCONNECT THE PHONE TILL ODIN DISPLAYS THE "PASS" MESSAGE!!!!
16. If you are using Multi CSC, follow the instructions from any of the posts for JM6 and JM7: "When using *Multi CSC* you need to type *#272*????# after the flash (in dialer). ???? being the current time displayed by phone. For example if the time is currently 6.25pm you need to type *#272*0625#. Then select the desired CSC version from the list and press "Install"."
You should be fine once these steps are done. They might seem very difficult at first glance, but they really aren't. If you still feel concerned about the process, I would suggest reading the entire post again just to familiarize yourself with the process. I was trembling the first time I did this and it turned out perfectly all right in the end. I am sure it will be the same for you.
Cheers....

Hey, someone helped me out once too eh??
Dont worry. Get comfortable with the process and you will be good to go. Its nighty night for me unfortunately. But I am sure you wont need me any further on this now.
take your time doing it, and you will do it right.
Cheers....
Hello again community. I am writing now from my SGS. Wonder how? (I did not the reflash) I don't know, the phone just booted up this morning. I have no idea how but now I will try to not reboot my phone. I think the logo is broken and the factory reset worked.
I still have the MCR app, but the Quadrant scores around 870, so I am no longer rooted.
Thanks all, I surely will need your help sometime... I consider the rooting now not so scary because I understanded that I can not break my phone completely. I will update to Froyo when it will be official and I hope the problem is not any longer in my phone.
Cheers!
Edit: I found a folder in the internal sdcard named ase that has 2 subfolders. In «resources» folder there are 2 files: playlogos1 which is 0 kilos large and userinit.sh, also with 0 kilos. If I am right this is the reason which stopped my phone to boot. What to do with them?

Relax bro.. You'll live longer
So I am finally in front of my PC, but I don't know if when I will reboot my phone it will work. I have the superuser/MCR and the scripts still in my phone and I don't know what to do. I don't really understand why the playlogo1 and userinit.sh files have 0 kB and they are on my sdcard. I think they have something to do with this.That's why I am afraid of rebooting it... but sometime I will need it and I hope I will not have the problem. Also, if I will reflash my phone with JM6 or JM7, which lag fix do you recommend for me? (The phone sometimes really annoys me)
Thanks in advance...!
