reset
yeah i tired hard reset too, but it still doesnt work.....

take the battery off and leave of for about an hour or so, so the back up battery completely runs dry... then try again.

i also tried this too. I left the battery out for 1 day, so battery and back up battery would run out dry. But it didnt work either. Neway other ideas guys ?????

at this point in time i say you opt for the warranty

If you got bootloader mode then you should be able to upgrade your rom to whatever you like.
Step by step insturctions are on WIKKI. The page for upgrading to the most recent ROM for the Blue Angel that IS NOT WM2005 is here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.40.00_Upgrade
If your device is in bootloader mode just put it in the cradle (activsync won't start but don't worry about that) and start the upgrade!

When you get to the Bootloader screen, probably you are home free. Just use the above link to resolve you problem.
If it doesn't work, let me know as I need some parts for mine and may be interested in buying yours for the parts.

HELP PLEASE! i780 dead!

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!

My phone was bricked two times
1) The phone rest stuck to Samsung screen when I open it
2) PDXIB1
3) Samsung Center changed the motherboard of the phone

Symptoms:
Every application will respond with message: Application is not signed or missing components (or something else). Only soft reset worked - but phone did a hard reset every time. Sometimes after hard reset contacts stayed as it was (everything else was deleted). These troubles last for 3 days for me until my phone died. Board is damaged and repair will cost 310,- €.
ROM version:
28205 @96 DPI made by ironeagle
Repair:
To buy a new board and a new battery (cause the old one has been damaged too - or just use a second battery instead).

how to execute emergency mode

i donn't know how to getin emergency mode,can you explain what i should to do

emergency mode is the mode u use when u flash a new rom
fn+enter+power(5 seconds).
Anyway, when my device bricked...it was almost 6 months back.
I used quite a bit of wifi, and left my device on the charger with wifi on accidentally. When i woke up a couple hrs later...the device seemed like it was in standby charging. Pulled off the charger, but the charging LED was still glowing! Device didnt respond to anything, pulled the battery out and put it back in....and boom! went totally dead...tried different batteries, tried soft reset, format mode, emergency mode...nothing. no sign of life!
mobo had to be replaced....got it done free as it was just abt 15 days old when this happened
I think its more of a hardware fault....some units being faulty waiting to blow in your face!

Just spoke to Samsung service about bricked phones: From their experience they have changed mobo only once, when 780 wasnt charging, but was working.
But they told that in case of fault of bootloader - thay DONT restore it, just replacing motherboard!
So there is chance to repair you phone by JTAG tool.
I hope trizzio that helps.

Dude I advise you to visit http://www.omnia-repair.com/ and ask on forum if someone can do this for you. Tool is about 300 EUR and Omnia is top brick phone, so you should find services that already have it, it does support i780.
tip: use google search for more options.

Hey guys,
my phone was bricked: I'd flashed heineken's "i780 WM 6.5.3 ver.28205 DPI 96" rom. After two days some errors appeared and I flashed (&hardreset) the rom again. While connecting to ActiveSync the connection was broken after some minutes. Then I have disconnected the USB-Cable and the phone was frozen. No reaction. No hard-reset keys, no LED reaction while power-connector.
So... I'm not shure whether this problem is because of heineken's rom. But the good news are: Samsung support switched the motherboard because of 24month guarantee

Im sorry SAM.
This first version was really weird, I have changed algorythms of compile again in version 2.
But there is always way when you get starnge glitches before you get brick - to flash offical rom to avoid a brick.
As for me I never had any of symptoms..flashed 1001 time.

About bricks...
I have experienced described situations (sudden out of memory, unable to run any app becouse of errors, dissapearing data and so on) around ten times during my cooking/flashing adventures, with different ROMs from different developers. Sometimes at the begining, when weird behaviors of my i780 started, I tried flashing device with other unoficial images, but problems remained. I think I even posted about my problem somewhere...
And I could always recover my device doing one simple thing.
Flashing official PDXIB1.
But important thing is that YOU SHOULD USE OFFICIAL UPDATER from Samsung site (in my case Vista version), not a .bin under Mirage!!
I know it is stupid, but it works better (and if something looks stupid and works better, then it is not stupid any more; Murphy`s law)
In my case Mirage not always proved to be a sollution.
SO every time when that situation emerge, thats what I would do very quick:
1. Hard reset.
2. Flashing oficial Samsung Updater (tutorial on Samsung site)
About reasons bricks happens; I have found no pattern. It happens with WM6, WM6.1 and WM6.5 or WM6.5.x. Sometimes one and the same ROM works perfect two weeks and flashed next time generates bricks.
As someone noticed previously, it is probobly a hardware-software problem, some kind of memory /filesystem/ FAT? damage and it is possible to revert that by flashing official ROM..
I am not a computer scientist, but thats only pattern/mark I can see..

Really bad

Hello all- I managed to completely screw up my F240S, can not get into recovery and have tried every way for 2 days now.
My main issue is that I have been trying to flash the F240S KDZ with the LG update tool and all goes well until about 20-30% into the flash process and I get a message saying "Can not continue due to low battery level, please charge fully and retry" but I am fully charged. Very frustrating.
Does anyone know anything I can do ?
I have been toying around with Android mobiles for a few years now, rooting, custom ROMs, etc.. but this is the very first time I believe I may have completely bricked my mobile, very disappointing.
Cheers for any help !! LL13-

put away your battery and do the same flashing without battery...:good:

This Battery low problem is really annoying and has no real reason........i read somewhere that you should use a downloader to download a kdz otherwise it will give error.............it worked once and i flashed successfully but couldn't repeat it....so more luck than logic
an alternate solution is to flash TOT and DLL files using LGPST tool......you may have to search Chinese forums for TOT and DLL files for your specific model. Some Chinese forums below...use chrome for auto tranlsate

http://www.sonyue.com/bbs/forum.php?mod=forumdisplay&fid=1615
fortunately i could get into my recovery so i flashed a ROM via sideload and save myself
best of luck

Are you on a Windows 8 computer? I read that you have to use windows 7. For some reason W8 gives the low battery issue.

on windows 7........battery issue still present

Thank you for that information guys. I actually brought the phone to a mobile repair place and as of a week now he is completely puzzled, can not fix it. I am away at the moment so will see him on Monday and hopefully he gets it going. I will try the other methods as far as the battery issue goes, I also read about the .TOT and .DLL files but it looked very complicated. I may just have to get into it though.
lkiizm. are you saying that the battery does not have to be in the phone when you are flashing it ?
Cheers, LL13-

This mobile appears to be worse than bricked. The repair shop had never seen anything like it, they had to give up on it.
I can not use the LG flash tool and .KDZ file as I get the low battery error. I can not, repeat NOT get into any recovery at all, I have tried every method.
The phone is stuck in some half baked mode where some things work and some do not, every time I turn the phone off it goes back to the start and anything put on it is erased. Factory reset is useless.
I'm only a little while from simply tossing this mobile in the trash. Does anyone have any ideas on how to salvage this ?
Cheers, LL13-

Tot + DLL should save you... That tool does not have the low battery error.. where are you getting stuck exactly in the boot process? If the mobile turns on, it can be recovered no matter what
Sent from my LG-E980 using Tapatalk

Hi vive... I been real upset over this but may be on the verge of a breakthrough as I just tried the mobile support tool for the hell of it and when my "low battery" error would normally pop up I just tried unplugging and plugging in rapidly and it made it through and now seems to be in the process of a proper upgrade.
I'm on 42% now and it's been going for about 19 minutes, fingers crossed this could be it.
I have been looking at the TOT and DLL way, a bit tricky for a guy like me but I may have to suck it up and just dig in.
The real killer is the large download size, I may have to go to an internet cafe for that.
I will report back !!
Cheers, LL13- :angel:
I have learned my lesson this time, no more dodgy Chinese ROMs for me !!

LG G4 H810 Doesn't power up

Hello there, First of all i am new here, This is my first post here... well let's continue with my problem.
I bought a LG G4 about 1 month ago, everything was going perfectly, but 2 days ago it start to install a new android version on the phone, it says a new update was there, so i tried to download it... Everything goes ok and then my phone start with problems, i can't unistall any app because my phone restart, can't do a password because it close, can't use my phone like always...
So i tried to downgrade my phone to a previous android version, i tried this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/guide-lg-g4-stock-firmware-to-stock-kdz-t3107848
I used the kdz method using LG UP, i downloaded the firmware (PR H810PR10a_04.kdz) so i decided to follow the step in the thread mentioned before, everything was ok, it show up 100% and say complete, so i decide to unplug my phone and tried to power up, so what's up? My phone died, i can't make it power up, can't access download mode, can't acess factory reset or anything else, It doesn't power up using power on button, tried to charge and does nothing, PC don't reconigze it...
So maybe i bricked it, Is there any solution to this? As i need help... I am afraid of losing my phone as it was working amazing before.
Thanks you in advance.

Pull out he battery and you will see the serial. If it starts with 5xx your chances are big that you're another victim of the main board issue.

Me too, my phone doesn't turn on anymore, please help

Any solution to this please?

Your phone is proably refurbrished, and it have no all h810 parts inside. So proably it's not H810, and you flashed image for this, that's can be problem. you have to disassembly your phone and check parts.

I buyed it new so it's not refurbrished
