hi
hi there, i tried upgrading my 02 xda executive from the software update on O2 website.my active sync 4.1 stopped working in midst and my xda is nt working now.and my pc isnt recognising the xda. the xda isnt starting up its completely dead.I tried hitting the 2 softkeys and the soft reset button and the screen lights up and it says to rollback to factory setting hit 0 zero, but nothing happens................plz help would be appreciated.http://www.my-xda.com/xdaExecSoftware.jsp
also the screen now has USB and v1.00 over it and shows nothing but this and not starting up and my pc pops a message up saying that an unknown usb device and cant be connected

Does anybody have a solution to the above problem as I now have 2 xda execs in the same situation. It's a bloody nightmare! I understand it's in bootloader mode. Just don't know how to get the xda up and running again without sending it off to O2...
Please help!

LOOK HERE I have been in this situation myself a couple of times. Personally I use method 2 which is at the bottom of the page as it's very easy to follow. I suggest you try this method first.

Those of you having trouble after a Rom Flash. If it goes wrong, start by pressing THE BACKLIGHT BUTTON, THE POWER BUTTON AND PRESS IN TO THE SOFT RESET HOLE ALL at the same time. This should put you back into BOOTLOADER. Then try your rom flash again. If the WM6 fails I re-flashed with the O2 EXEC WM5 first. Forget Active Synch saying it cant etc.
Providing you can just see some very faint words then you are back in bootloader. I have got the original O2 XDA EXEC WM5 Rom files so if you want them, as I can not find out how to put a large zip file on here then I can email it to you. Let me know on

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!

(SOS) Did I just brick my phone? (SOLVED)

I installed Nataly Rom on my phone and since that time, my phone start to hard reset more and more often (3 times today)
Now I don't think that this has anything to do with the rom, but more with my phone.
Now, If I turn on my phone, I just get my red vodafone screen and nothing else happens.
I tried a hard reset, even with a complete format, wich now puts my phone completly bank, but still it won't pass my red vodafone screen.
Does anyone have suggestions of how to boot it up again?
please help

try putting your phone into the bootloader screen and reflash with another rom.

I have a friend that had this problem with his phone. In his case there was a problem with the pagepool, installing a different rom as cobbs stated was the solution for him as well.

some of us have had this problem already - my advice- use tbe search function 'cmd task 29' is the answer

Hi Gort
Thanks for the wonderfull advise.
I already thought my phone was a gonner, but now I can work with it again.
For all the people who experience a phone that keeps hard resetting more often and eventually cant boot at all, here's what to do.
Procedure:
1. bring the device to bootloader.
2. Launch ActiveSync on PC
3. Go to connection settings
4. Uncheck the Allow USB Connection
5. Now, run mtty1_1_.42_538 on PC.
6. If you have run mtty1_1_.42_538, just press the button USB
7. Type CMD
8. Type task 29 and let the program do his work a bit.
9. after that, flash with the rom of your choice
here is the link to mtty1_1_.42_538
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=490182&page=4
Thanks for all the help guys, most appreciated
and hopefully this thread will help others now as well
edit: Link updated, should work fine now

From this moment i cannot use the phone cause even trying the camera button+volume+power it says to connect the phone to zune, but when i do it and zune starts to do a restore i ve an error 100102e "no restore points".

Might want to go to the Dev section and see if they have a factory ROM available, and after that try to flash it from the bootloader... Probably your best bet...

I had a pretty similar experience. I did a forced nodo update (hungarian PPTP). Since I read that HTC bundled their nodo update with a newer radio (or whatsoever) I wanted to perform a rollback to pre nodo and then wait for the official HTC HD7 nodo. However, the rollback failed and left me in pretty much the same state that you're in. My device just didn't boot anymore. It always returned to the update screen. What I did was exactly what the user above me said. I downloaded a suitable stock ROM (european HD7 ROM for me) and flashed that. Afterwards I started Zune, removed the "old" device and then connected my freshly flashed HD7. Guess what, it was recognized and I immediatley got the updates. It's working flawlessly since then.

Thank you both, I ll try to find a ROM for the Htc trophy and flash it ( i ll try to find out how do it)

There's not much to find out. Hold the volume down button and press power until you see the tri colored screen saying "serial". Connect it to your PC and it should say "usb" after while. Then just start the exe file and follow the steps as told on the screen.

Proper way to initiate hard reset is to power off your phone. Hold volume up and down at same time, and just slightly press power button. That's all.
Than you need to press volume down to restore settings, and to press volume down once more to reset your phone.
If that doesn't help, you should find a proper ROM for your phone and flash it.
To find proper ROM for your phone, you should look here

you could try this... its easier...

its not for this use, but it should work... try it... several people recovered using this tool from bricked devices...

return your phone to stock ROM

This is the solution i have for getting the phone back to stock ROM.Also this is the solution for KDZ extract error.
So follow the next steps and propably you will not have problem
This is what i did:
1)Follow the steps 1-8 from this post but not for your phones stock ROM,but some other that is lower than 1GB.(I tried the open European edition)
2)Hold the power button some seconds so the phone will colse.After that hold vol- and power button.This is the way you do factory reset.Press 2 times the power button to agree to do a factory reset.(this step is optional if all were ok from the last step.Mine were stack in lg logo so i had to do this)
3)After this normally the mobile phone will open,but u may have not signal so you cant have calls.Dont warry.Download the Lg PcSuite from here.Install the programm
4)Connect the phone and select PC SUITE.Then in PC SUITE go to Device/Device Software Upgrade and the programm will start to upgrade your phone.But this is the magic(well not magic,maybe PC SUITE scans your IMEI.)The new upgrade that will be done but the ROM that will be downloaded will be for exactly your phones edition (mine was F180L).
5)You should have your phone fully charged.The update will last some time,but have patience,you are done!
6)After the update you'll have to do one more factory reset like step 2.
7)Your mobile phone is ready like new
Hope i helped some guys that i've seen they had the same problem with me.Any questions you have make it,and ill try to help you.Good luck!!

While the phone is off, if i press vol - + power, it will get me to the hard reset menu?

yes.Basically hold it for about 10 secs.The second time the screen goes blank let the buttons and you will get to facory reset mode.Try it some times.

Oh, didn't know that. Thank you

I did exactly this and even after all the process and imei scanning and installling the upddate, the phone keeps rebooting and it doesnt recognize sim cards so no calls or messages

is the E977, yes I did a hard reset, no luck, since I installed my carriers updated firmware for my country and it unrooted the device and also locked the bootloader, I took the phone to warranty to see if I can get a new one or maybe they can repair it, they can't notice I did anything to it, but im gonna be without phone for up to 2 weeks.
I miss a lot when I had a Nexus and there was a whole community to help with this issues, this phone has very little support here on xda,

Yeah all those different editions are annoying.You ve done the best choice to take it to LG's service.It may be 2 weeks without phone but it will be fixed for sure!
