i780 ROM flashing problem

When I try to flash a new ROM using the Mirage updater, after I connect the phone to the usb cable, Mirage show me the message " PDA Device not found". I have installed all samsung modem drivers, i have no firewall or antivirus program and still does not work to flash a new ROM. This behaviour appeared after I flashed the i780_DXHC4_Rev12 ROM. If anybody had this problem, please advice me what to do next. thanks

no experts here?

no this happen. Are you using XP?

First and only time when I succeded to flash the ROM (DXHC4 version), it was on win2k3 standard..Since then, I have tried to flash the ROM on various OS ( vista, xp, win2k3, win2k8..) with the same result each time: "PDA Device not found"...

Make sure to connect the phone to the USB cable when the phone is completely OFF. (take out battery and put it back in)
with the turned out phone connected to the cable, press DETECT,
and only then power up your phone.
I know some instructions tell you to go into bootloader mode, but I found that this is enough to successfully flash my device.
Make sure you run on XP and not on Vista.
Hope this helps.

thank you for your advice..unfortunately, it does not work also..after I press Detect and turn on the phone, Mirage send me the same message: "PDA Device not found"...if you can help me with other instructions, i would appreciate

Does your device succeed in connecting to the computer using ActiveSync?
Try disabling ActiveSync USB connection or altogether.
If you only want to install the PDA part try removing the USB modem drivers,
you don't need them for PDA only.
Try a different USB port maybe, Or maybe another cable.
I'm at a loss here...

Hi on this forum too!
You need to already have an active activesync relationship with the device.

I can make file transfer and PC sync with the phone.
I tried every USB port to flash the phone. But nothing works, only 'PDA Device not found' message. I think there is no solution for this problem...

u have to load the modem driver which is for i600... i had the same issue but as soon as u load the modem driver it works fine..
and u have to take out the batt and put back the batt then hold enter and Fn button while u press the power button.. and hold till the device is booted in emergency mode... then connect your USB cable..

nothing works...

Try to update your usb drivers...

gOOndu is right you must have the correct USB driver to recognize your phone. This is not the modem driver. You can test this by disabling Active sync USB connections and plugin your phone. If it has the right driver it should state hardware found (name of your device) and then hardware installed and ready for use. If you get a hardware not recognized then the driver is not correct.
Hope this helps you.

The problem is not with the OS drivers, which recognizes my hardware device.Also, I am able to make transfers from the device to the desktop and viceversa. The problem is with the Mirrage Updater, after I press Detect and plug in the device, it can not see my pda anymore ( PDA Device not found message). The only time when I was able to flash my device ( with Mirrage) was when I upgraded to DXHC4 version. Since then, Mirrage can not find my pda anymore, altough I use the same (operating) system as when I succesfully flashed DXHC4...

Hi guys,
I am trying to flash a ROM following the steps in the first post of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=388067 . I tried on Windows XP, Vista, 7 without any positive results. I installed the Samsung i600 drivers, started mirage, loaded the bin file in the PDA section, pressed detect, started the device using Fn+Enter+ON key, but mirage kept saying "PDA device not found". I tried the above steps in different orders,no luck whatsoever. I have the following 2 questions:
1. booting the phone in DETECT mode means that you get the message "Emergency mode - You must push Detect BUtton of the download application befor you connect the usb port".
2. Do you have another STEP-BY-STEP guide on how to do this? Or is there another tool besides Mirage (which in my opinion is quite old)?
Thanks a million.

Which USB connection do you use? Front panel? Use one which is connected directly to the mainboard (on the back).

There is an i780 flashing guide available. I cannot find (or post) the direct link but it acknowledges this original post.
I spent several hours at the weekend trying to find a way of flashing my phone including installing virtual PC, etc, etc.
Eventually I found this to my relief and it worked for me in Win7:

you need to put the file from your PC to internal storage - you can do this via bluetooth OR if you can connect the phone as disk drive...
good luck! (and please search! it will save you time )

ok first of all... we need to make sure u have HARD SPL... for that, you need to connect to computer...
try this to make sure it's not a USB cable or port issue...
remove any cable
go to bootloader "enter Bootloader by pushing the red reset button (on the back) while holding volume down key on the side"
you will see some a tri-color screen... and it will read Serial at the bottom... NOW connect USB to computer and wait for a minute and two... the "SERIAL" should now read "USB"...
if this works... then keep the phone connected and follow the HARDSPL instructions from :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
first post, Section A
if it does not change to "USB" then it's a port / cable issue... try another cable or a diffirent port on your computer...

Bricked Trinity-USB invisible....HELP

I tried flashing a cooked ROM but now it stays on the splash screen.
I can get the striped screen up (IPL-0.50 SPL-1.07.0000) which displays USB when usb lead plugged in BUT I cant see the PDA through vista or xp-So I can't reflash using sync.I need to flash through SD card...this failed when i renamed the NBH file...Any help would be appreciated..Thanks

on + cam + reset and restore the original rom with Usb, also the actsyn dont see the phone.(xp not vista)

No good..I tried this, the trinity is invisible to the xp pc, but pc does make the connecting sound.

Try also the actsync no connect and no see the Phone(not connected). Only the original rom Work in this manner.

But if the PC makes the connecting sound then it is connected and flash should work. I always flash my phone this way.
In the device manager under Mobile Devices do you see HTC USB Sync?
BTW do you use Vista to flash? The vista drivers for the HTC USB Sync don't work.You have to install the drivers from XP to flash a phone this way.

Sounds to me like your phone is not unlocked, or does not have Hard SPL installed.
Be sure to read these forums to verify everything is set up correctly to flash cooked roms.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=312
Good luck, and report back if you still cannot get it to work.

I can confirm that the phone IS unlocked, power+camera reset leaves it with striped screen, L/H + R/H softkey+reset gets it to bootloader and eventually to failed ROM splash screen,same with simple reset.
Connecting to XP gets a connect sound BUT phone is not displayed by exploring or by activesync.
Because the PC can't see the PDA, it can't flash. I feel flashing with SD card is the way forward...almost any rom would do-just to get PC to "see" PDA through USB. If anybody has a foolproof SD rom flash I would be grateful.Thanks

But did you look into the device manager after you hear the bingbong sound to see if there is a mobile device listed there?
If there is delete it, disconnect and reconnect.
Do you have olipro hard spl on your phone?

Noob scratching head lots!!
Hi Adejager, my PDA doesn't come up on the support screen at all. It MIGHT be a usb socket to Motherboard problem. I can sort that out later, after I flash through sd card. (BTW i don't have OLIPRO hard SPL). if I can get a rom flashed with card I can then move forward

you need to install hard spl, and it will solve your problem, i had same exact problem before.

Hi PP
Yes, but how do i flash hard spl via mini sd card?? (usb not working)

Download the Hard-SPL file, unzip it and copy the .nbh file to the root folder of your Mini SD card, but be sure to rename it to "TRINIMG.nbh". Then, insert the SD card and boot into the bootloader.

Possible Fix to the Update Error [262] for noobs and pr0s

Hey Guys
I am a new member as you can all see, and i have been wanting to update my Touch Dimond for ages now but after installing the HardSPL, i kept getting Update Error 262 when trying to install a new Radio or ROM.
So after Reading Countless Threads and trying a million different things, i figured this out.
Start:
>>Make sure you have HardSPL 1.93 installed
>>Then when installing a ROM, take the diamimg.nbh file and put it into the root dir of your internal storage.
>>Then take another copy of that diamimg.nbh file and put it into the HardSPL folder
>> Manually Start the bootloader by holding down the "down volume" Key and Turning off the Phone, keep you finger on the down volume key ALL THE TIME, restart the phone with your finger still keeping the volume key down, the phone will now start in Bootloader mode.
>>Now connect your phone to the PC via USB, and start the RUU.
>>The ROM Installation will now start.
I hope this has helped, this is how i eventually got the installation to work.
Thanks guy

Haven't had this problem myself, but it's good to hear that you got the problem solved Well done mate.

How is the computer supposed to recognize the phone when its in the bootloader ? if i do what you are telling me to do the RUU doesnt find the diamond and the phone keeps saying loading!

I guess the flaw of this solution is if you don't have access to an OS or can't transfer the file through ActiveSync then you can't copy the file.
But the installer can still see your device in some cases. Make sure to disable "Enable USB connections" in the ActiveSync icon->Connection Settings... and then run the updater.

your all missing the point, you can flash from usb directly from bootloader!! al the ruu does is switch the device into bootloader mode then flash, if your device is already in bootloader mode it just flashes.
so if you run the ruu and get error 262 disconnect the usb, you will see the word "serial" appear, then reconnect the usb and after a driver install "USB" will appear.
can i just ask, all you people have the correct active sync driver installed right? i.e. the ones i posed in my thread HERE If you are using vista or win7 you MUST FOLLOW POST 2!!
if you do not install these drivers vista and win 7 CANNOT communicate with the bootloader.
verify you have my drivers installed and then post back please

to be honest, i did tried your drivers, but have two problems
1. if your drivers installed, when in bootloader, windows7 (vista) do not "see" my diamond, though cannot communicate with it
2. if i leave the "download drivers automaticly from the net" and windows installs his drivers, i do have communication with the diamond, rru also "SEES" it, but mtty doesnt work with those drivers.
<tried both win7 ultimate and home premium>
workaround that i find usefull and works for me, is to have xp as a virtual machine, using your drivers, so mtty work fine

made a mistake using mtty

Whilst reflashing my diamond touch with a new rom at the stage where you disconnect and hold vol down and back button to start the rom off I had the back off and the battery fell out. Now if I do the above it comes up saying no image found then says trigger usb host and red flash saying usb retry enter usb. Have I meesed my phone up or is there a way to get the image back any help will be welcomed. I can still connect via mtty but the device doesn't come up in my computer anymore or wont connect via active sync.

dont worry .. nothing is lost
bring up the phone in bootloader .. vol down reset
connect the usb cable, on screen should write USB (instead of serial)
and now just run the customRUU.exe file that is usualy in archive you downloaded the rom, and just follow the instruciotions.
(like you are flashing without mtty! from computer)

hi man, have you tryed to reinstall drivers ? i don't know what happends to your phone but i'm really sad for you hope it's nothing That can seriously damage it so if i was you, i'll try to reinstall all drivers and use mtty from the 1st step, may be it will work. feed beck plz

yes..youre right..i did the same thing, after i've mtty (after type task 8), i forgot to initiate ROM flash and did hard reset+clear memory, so the image (diamimg.nbh) in movinand memory is erased.
So, we still can flash with custom RUU. bring your device in bootloader, you will see serial mode change into usb, then execute custom RUU.exe. follow the instruction.. but make sure your battery is enough..
Hope it help you..

Thanxs Vicai, did as your post recommended and working fine now, thanxs for the quick response
