HELP PLEASE! i780 dead! - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi everyone!
I really need help!
my samsung i780 is dead after i flashed the boot part with the eboot from DXHC4!
I already tried everything!
i flashed de boot part with E1, flashed the three parts with the c4 and e1 rom and nothing! the flash process always complete without errors!!
I can acess bootloader without problems, i can also entre the hard reset menu pressing the green , red and power button but when i press space to performe the hard reset nothing happens and i tried to wait several minutes!
when I power on the phone it doens't even show the samsung logo! Just black screen!
I would really apreciate some help!
thank you!

A good challenge for the I780 Specialists
I bet that the solution would be very easy
All the best to you

There are quite a number of answers posted. EFN had already explained too many times. He had said that the bootloader works fine, that's a good start.
Just get the necessary rom from EFN thread, phone rom PUHE1 and the pda rom DXHE1. There is even a tutorial on this in EFN thread (1st post).

g00ndu can you please help find the thread/topic where EFN explaines it, i'm having a hard time finding it!
thank you

I think he is talking about this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409258&highlight=EFN+PUHE1+DXHE1
download Flashing Guide Tutorial - at the bottom of the 1st post

did exactly as said in the tutorial....
nothing... it seems that the eboot is always the same.....
i don't know what else to do!

g00ndu i can't find the thread you are talking about....
where does EFN talks about the bootloader or a problem like mine??
could you please help me!
thanks!

Okay step by step:
Did you downloaded the russian rom i780PUHE1 (eboot+phone+pda)?
Did you downloaded the i780DXHE1 (pda only)?
Follow the tutorial, assuming step 1 to 4 had already been done.
(5) Launch Mirage updater. Select MIRAGE LV image as the profile
(6) Select EBOOT+PDA+PHONE and select the extracted RUSSIAN .img file
(7) Click on DETECT
(8) Switch on the phone while holding the ENTER and FUNCTION buttons (ALT BUTTON)
(9) After the system DETECT message appears, connect the phone via USB to your PC
(10) Wait until the image is written.
Before flashing to the DXHE1 rom first, please try to boot up and see if it works. If it is successful, you will see plenty of gibberish characters. This is EXPECTED, as the rom is russian.
If it doesn't boot up, then I am sorry I won't be able to help you.
Try the above first. Point to note is to choose eboot+phone+pda. Always press detect first before going through the enter+function+power on process.
If it works, please let me know.

g00ndu, thank you very much, but i already done that several times step by step....
but, unfortunately it stays the same....when i power it on it turns on the backlight but the screen remains black and nothing happens...
but thank you very much anyway!

hellboss, I'm sorry about your device. Perhaps it might be a hardware issue. I'm not sure.
While the device may have a black screen, you could try to see if the LED lights work, whether there is a sound after the system boot up. These are important clues to see if it is really hardware issue.
Once again, I wish you could find a solution to your problem.

Hi, i would like to know if it is possible to discover which ROM is installed in the equipment... I mean, the samsung doens't start i can only go into emergency mode,,, is it possible through the pc to discover which ROM is installed on it??
thank you!

I'm not really sure, but have you try to dump your rom using pdocread, one of the itsutilsbin tools? Meaning get the Part00, Part01 and Part02 raw files which is your rom dump?

If i were you I will try most official rom to rescue the device first. like i780XHC4 that one has all three (healthy and normal) parts.

dogmood i already tried.... but still nothing...
g00ndu , to dump the ROM don't i need to change some values on some key at the pocket pc registry?? if so i can't because the pda doens't start....
P.S-the first time i flashed it i did it on a pc with windows xp but all the time the process was incomplete and i need to turn off the phone and restart the phone, and at the second time was succesful, now i'm doing it on a virtual machine running windows xp pro sp2,,,,, can my problem be related to that??
thank you!

I use a VM for the flashing myself, so this shouldnt cause problems.

If flashing the official rom (EBOOT & Phone & PDA) doesnt work for u then you have to consider the fact that your i780 busted on the hardware level.
The best thing to do now is to claim for warranty and make sure u sent them beack with official rom in your phone (HC4)

Hi EFN,
well I've considered that, and I think that my next move is going to be warranty
but unfortunately the ROM that came with the PDA was not the DXHC4, i bought my samsung in Portugal.
my problem now is that the PDA became dead when i flashed it with the DXHC4 eboot, and now that i can't flash any other ROM i can't put the original ROM, which i have a dump, on it....
so i think that is not going to be accepted on warranty....
honestly i can't discover what went wrong.... I followed every single step of the tutorial to revive a dead i780....
thanks!
P.S-> EFN, I'm a great admirer of your work (samsung i780 ROMs), unfortunately I'm not going to be able to try them......but... anyway keep up the good work!

I believe for as long as the rom on your i780 is an official one (regardless of version), Samsung will honor the warranty. You have to try to know. And of course dont tell them that you have been messing up with flashing this and that

well i think so, if the rom is an official one they will honor the warranty...
that's the why of my question about a way to know the version of the ROM installed on the PDA, but i haven't discover anything...
i guess will just try my luck and send it to warranty!
thanks!

Welcome any advice,
Thanks in advance.
Yea me to, mine is now a brick after that upgrade? No active sync connection possible and all I get now is the blue O2 start screen after the hard reset with the red writing and numbers in the top left hand corner..
Phone is an UK XDA Orbit

yeah, I had the same problem and have created a thread for it already. unfortunately I got no useful replies, and it seems that I am stuck waiting for an official o2 ROM so that I can recover my Orbit.
It seems there is a way to un brick our phones I just need to get my phone bootted into bootlader mode which no one seems to say how to do??
Can anyone help how I can boot my Orbit , like what combo of keys I need to press to boot it into bootloader mode then XP will see it at a driver level apparently Active Sync still won;t but I will be able to run some German ROM update with the ROM file replaced with the other ones and it may come back to life..

Correct and use mtty
Already see in the forum ....
Thanks guys and apologies for the spelling..I ran the Artemis_USPL before I tried upgrading to WM6 and again have been able to run it after with my new brick now with the phone in bootloader mode but still when I try and run the german ROM update a) it will only work with the german file which freezes @ 3%? This seems to be a known problem reading around and b )when I replace it with the smaller ROM file, 54MB the german one is 66MB, I originally tried to use it doesn't read the ROM file or the update utility doesn't want to read it. I reckon I might be able to get it back if I can get one of the ROM update utilities to read a good ROm file and send it to the phone.
I can;t find this MTTY program to sniff the USB port and return the code of if the USPL util wokred as I think that could be key to all of this.
Can anyone post a quick how to here for
1) install MTTY from somewhere
2) what command to run agaist the phoen to see if the USPL util worked and what values I should be looking for
3) another WM6 ROM version (that the update utils can read) download location I can download from to try and send to the phone using the German update util
Not asking for much am I but I desperately need my phone back WM5 or 6 in the next day or so so really can't send it off.
Thanks
Error message I recive at the 3% stage when using the German ROM and english update util.
use the file attach and read that :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285112
Thanks but I'm not that cleud up on what commands I'm meant to be sending. It works in Bootloader mode I ge a response from the phone by send it a command. But even if I get a response telling me what the CID status is its not much help as I think ti shoudl have tekane BEBEs ROM by now as I've got the german ROMUpdateUtility sending that 54,272KB file to the phone but it stops after 3%. What are my options?

That's right. On older models MTTY was quite useful, but not on the Artemis. You cannot use it to read the CID status anyway. If you are not sure about the status, run the USPL tool, just to make sure.
I've already re run the USPL ROMUpdateUtility and it completes 100% okay in bootloader mode. But after I hard reset and then try and flash the WM6 BEBE ROM or any ROM German etc back onto it it either fails with the error code I posted up earlier or gets to 3% and fails.
What are my options at this stage? Does anyone have a link to another ROM I can try like the original WM5 O2 ROM or any other WM6 ROm that might work. I'm willing to give them all a try as it's just a useless phone right now and I haven;t sent it off as 1) I need it before the weekend and 2) As I can flash some ROMs with the USPL and others have done this no problem I really feel there must be a solution as I can still falsh the phone.
What can I say RTFM... I did it all right and I didn't have a brick, I missed out one small detail... loading on the ROM with the extended ROM. All now running and it does seem a little faster than WM5.
Thank you to all those that tried to help out. To the others that are still having probs.. Don't try and run the update in the middle of a busy day in the office whilst trying to manage 100 other things meaning you are probably missing out a line like me...
One question though how do I get back my O2 power and storage meters on the today screen back as I liked them and the WiFi seems to have a bug where when it is enabled and you click on the WiFi symbol up the top it only allows you to switch it on, when it is already on.. so you have to open up the COMM manager to switch it off.
So how did you fix it exactly? I have read this thread thoroughly and can't find out what you did!
ERROR[206] occurs while trying to update ROM to WM6
While tring to update ROM to WM6 on O2 XDA Orbit i encounter ERROR[206].
I wanted to attach the screen shot but dont know how to do that, but anyway what i am doing is i attached my pda to my pc via activesync using supplied usb cord. Everything goes well till i reach a screen where it says "You are now ready to update your ROM image...." and once i click next a progress bar apperas and my pda shuts and activesync exit's automatically and my pda tries to restart with RBG band and some text:RUU, IPL 1.25.0001, SPL 1.25.0000 and USB. And thats it after few seconds or a min i get the ERROR[206] and my pda hangs.
I dont know why Activesysn shutsdown ???
Just an additional in i want to tell that without installing activesync i am not able to connect/pair my pda with my pc. So do i need to install the drivers and then try or it doen't matter cause once i install Active sync i can connect the device.
Please help me with this....
Thanks

Bootloader
I had a problem with my phone loaded touch flow 4 and cid unlocking, everything was fine then after a while it froze at boot up.
I look put the battery and did a hard reset, put it into bootloadeder mode, reflashed with a t-mobile rom does not need to be cid unlocked to do that.
Once origonal rom was working, cid unlock again, flashed back to touchflow 4.0 - sorted
Where did you got an tmobile rom from can you tell me. Mine is also freezing on booting almost once every day or so after I've upgraded to 4.0

In bootloader mode AS will not recognized the PDA. As I see there is DES crash proof hard-spl on your PDA. Stay in bootloader mode, and try to flash an other rom, or the original offical rom. If does not work here is a useful link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308691
thanks for your quick reply!
how can i flash without the active sync is connected?
i have tried but the rom update utility says it cant find device and exits
or can it be done withot connection, if so how?
thanks for all input, as i said im not an experienced "flasher".
I don't know why, but after successfull cooked rom update (Schap, Faman, etc..) the last one didn't work and stick to 3-color (I'm under olipro 1.3)
I just made a spl update without any pb (take a look if on your pda screen it shows USB instead of serial) don't care about activsync
Then a radio update (1.40 instead of 1.50).
Shap rom update didn't work anymore (cache issue), so I'd just copied RUU_signed.nbh from SChaps replacing the one into Fman folder, and just working fine...
If it can help you.
Had this kind of problem
Simplest thing is to load rom from SD card (do search on this).
In short get the ROM you want - ROM***.nb file and rename it as TRINIMG.NB put it on the SD card. Launch bootloader and follow instructions. Otherwise check thread VISTA FLASH DISASTER...
Good luck,
Solved!
I reconnected the phone ( it sad USB in the bootloader btw)
Downloaded schaps wm6pro and unzipped, enterd the ruu and flashed, even thoug active sync was inactive.
I didnt have to go any further than this.
Many thanks, now i might dare to try som more roms, done ax3ls and karmba's so far looking forward to test schaps now.
Look in the Trinity Wiki. It describe how to flash from the SD card. this will fix you up.

O2 XDA Orbit - Upgrading/Backup/Flashing

Sorry if the post has already been mentioned in another forum before.
I have an O2 XDA Orbit and i'm looking to put Fracoons Artermis rom on it http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...o♦.
I'm pretty new to flashing phones and PDA's but i'm quite experienced with a PC so shouldnt need to much help!
I was wondering what steps I should ensure to take to make sure that I dont turn it into a brick, I could do with a complete guide! I've also been told that i'll need to run the Artermus USPL program after connecting the phone. But any help and advice would be a great help. Is there anyway to backup the phone in the state it is at present if or if it doesnt go wrong?
Thankyou for the help and sorry again i've this has already been asked by someone else! Will really appreciated it!
There is no assurance that the process will not make your device a brick. But it happens only on a rare case. Many 1000s of users have upgraded without problems however a few has got their devices a brick.
There is no point taking a backup as the new ROM will give you different files. Anyway, to make sure you don't end up with a bricked device:
-Charge your device fully
-Run USPL
-The process should complete successfully!
-Upgrade ROM.
-Never disconnect your Pocket PC or turn of your PC when the upgrade is going on.
-If your stuck anywhere, don't try to do anything stupid but come here and post.
-Your device should be fine
-Even if some devices get bricked during one of the upgrade process, there is still a high chance of bringing your device back to good working condition with the help of a Factory ROM and so don't worry and go ahead.
Regards,
Carty..
that's my biggest concern so far... my XDA II SHOULD be able to run WM5 but i'm very concerned that i could turn it into a brick... the reason for this is: the XDA is the only phone i have at the moment.
If it bricks, then i'm literally screwed... i have the HimaUpgrade File that does not need an ID, and as i'm pretty fluent with English, i see no problem in using an English ROM.
The Wiki is a good place to start... but i still don't know if i REALLY need active sync to be running or not, since i cannot understand what good that would do if the device is in Bootloader Mode anyway.
Reason for this is that sometimes i read "Active Sync should be on" and sometimes i read the complete opposite... it's freaking me out.
Device should be Synchronized always for the best choice. All un-official ROMs will require this. However, factory ROMs can be flashed directly from Bootloader mode.
That is why I said when you think you screwed the process of upgrading, mostly your device will be stuck at bootloader or you can access bootloader screen and only a factory rom can go from here.
PS: I wont guarantee if the above will be true on all conditions.
Regards,
Carty..
I flash all my ROMs in bootloader mode, including my own, so it's not restricted to the official ROMs. But you need a working ROM to get it back alive.
I'd recommend using a laptop for flashing or use a USV. If some guys cut your power your computer would crash right in the middle of the flashing process - won't happen on a laptop with a working battery.
This is what I want to know. How do I flash in bootloader mode?
okay, i did it this way: first of all you need a rom to flash your device with, but i guess that should be clear
To put your device into Bootloader Mode you have to press the On/Off Button, the Directional Pad AND the reset button (mostly at the lower left corner) simultaneously.
Release the Reset Button first after about a second, and then the other two Buttons.
Your Device should say "Serial" on its Screen... by that time you can put your Device in the Cradle or connect it via a USB Datacable to your PC.
Also: connect the Cable/Cradle directly to your PC, not to a hub as that could cause Problems during the Flashing Process.
Now you can start the Flash-Program, wait approximately 30 Minutes (if you are just flashing the ROM and nothing else) and follow the Instructions that came with your ROM WORD FOR WORD as these instructions are working for most people.
I'm not saying that flashing is without Problems though... when i flashed my XDA II with WM2005 yesterday, i was not able to send/receive Textmessages (SMS), so i had to reflash the device again with the last ROM released by O2, which sucks.

Hi, I'm a newbie in al that stuff. How about to have or find a french ROM ? Is it simple or really too difficult ?
tks in advance
It doesn't find my device?
This worked and I tested with my bricked i780. Thanks very much for the poster and the people whose contributed on this.
Please take note of the following:
- Your machine must have ActiveSync installed. I suggest you to disable USB sync option.
- You need to have the i600 modem driver installed. Do a search on Google - it can be easily found. Your Windows should recognize your phone as i780 immediately when it is power on.
- Follow the steps above, if the program didn't upload the ROM 1st time, do a reset by using the reset hole, and once the phone is restarted, the program will upload the ROM immediately.

Many many thanks, I read this thread yesterday morning and last night suddenly my phone screen did not want to turn on anymore. I tried everything with no luck and I decided to give a try at this method.
Very very very much thanks! It worked in one try! And now I am happier, because my phone was first dutch and now it is english. Many many thanks.

Wonderfull job men
Now that we know how to flash......it would be possible to a Thread where to post all the link for all official/coocked ROMs available?
Are you planning to do a WM 6.1 with RealVGA? It would be wonderfull.
Any way, I tried RealVGA using separate CABs with no luck on my Italian ROM.
Are your ENG RealVGA ROM working fine?
Thanks again.
Just tried again on a non VISTA machine and it worked perfectly ... I now have non bricked English ROM i780 .... as I now have two .... one will be going on ebay so let me know if in the UK and you want one.
I can confirm RealVGA works fine on the English ROM.

Dutty's ROM locked my phone?

So...I've been using an older version of Dutty's ROM, but I haven't updated in a few weeks.
Tonight, out of nowhere, my phone will now only show a screen saying:
"This concludes the beta test of this software release. Thank you very much for your time and effort in helping make this a great product for our customers.
To obtain a newer release or further information, please revisit the web site that you used to obtain your current beta release."
Strange...
I tried downloading the most recent version of Dutty's rom and loading it, but the computer says "Cannot connect to your PDA phone..."
What's going on here!?
I have tried resetting the phone via the reset button (under the stylus), and I have tried restarting the phone via soft/hard reset, but nothing works!
Everytime my phone turns on, it goes immediately to this white page saying the "This concludes the beta test of this software release..."
How can I make my Diamond work again?!?
Please help!
i am having the same problem tonight too
i did a hard rest.. didnt fix it.. plus i lost all the stuff i had on there.. but it's ok
i heard u need to reflash it or something but i donno the full detail.. hope someone here can help us... thanks
step by step instruction would be great
I think you must put your diamond in "bootloader mode". and you will reflash your phone with a new rom, or another rom...
Booloader mode (usb) = Volume down + reset
In the screen (down) = serial, and if you connect with usb you can see "usb" and now you can reflash!
how can i reflash? i'm VERY new with this smartphone stuff my first smartphone so i donno a lot of stuff..
does it need HSPL 1.24? cause if it does i cant seem to run DiamondCustomRUU after my phone went black screen
i will try the "bootloader" mode, but i hope it works! i will post results a.s.a.p.!
Same for me on Dutty 2.3, but did hard reset and let phone set up. Do NOT change the date, I left mine as September, and phone will continue to set up and start. Now what I need to know is if I flash with latest rom will that allow me to set current date?

You put "volume down" and, in same time, you put "reset" (you hold these 3 seconds) => and you enter in bootloader, then you connect your diamond to USB and launch installation...
i think you don't need a HSPL if you want flash with the same rom... but you may use another HSPL for another rom...
OK - so i just started in Bootloader mode as suggested...
after that, i plugged it in to my computer vis USB.
then, i opened the most recent rom updater (supplied by dutty...see the thread in this forum).
it is currently updating, and everythign is looking good.
so, why do you have an experation on your rom's dutty??? what's up with that?!?
thanks fabe
but let say i want to flash the SwithBL Rom.. it's not the one i used b4.. do i still need HSPL? if yes how do i install so i dont get the black screen and it actually works?
