samsung I780 WM 6.5 issuses

Hi there, i have just purchased a samsung i780 second hand and the previous owner has upgraded it to vm6.5, however it seems to have a few problems. First of all the keyboard does'nt seem to work for messaging (and there is an application called fingerboard 2 that does seem to work) and also all the icons seems missaligned in the menus......and there is no pop down start menu and the today page looks quite unsual. Here are some pictures which may give you a better idea.
Is it possible to restore the phone to the original orange rom?
also i have vista so will this make it very difficult

You have 3 possibiliteis dude:
First 2 are to install newer 6.5 rom, that has no issues like that, but may be other new :
1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=537608
2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=599652
3. install official DXIB1 only !! after one before.
Most easy way to aware incorrect versione error is to install first one of both roms. Than its clear for PDXIB1 update next.

cant flash the phone

Thats instruction never came true as far I see you use win7 64 bits.
Use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4866182#post4866182
But it works only if you choise test mode by pressing F8 before windows starting on PC. If you dont choise for test mode boot. win7 will not accept driver mensioned.
For easy way, without those problems use xp computer.

Im using windows vista 32 bit however i may have made a mistake by selecting htc after the have disk bit rather then samsung. Could that cause a problem?

For vista 32 you need to download windows mobile center (WMC), and only install samsung modem drivers. and nothing more. it work official way!
If you had already WMC and replaced driver by HTC, then plugoff phone, uninstall WMC. restrart pc and install again.

Thank you for all your help, i however have resolved most of the issues i mentioned and it was all down to configuration within the os.......n00b my bad heh.

[SOLVED] ADB Setup for Windows

Hey all. This is for those of you having issues with ADB and Windows.
Source link
This is assuming you already have the SDK, it's installed, you're just having issues with the actual ADB driver.
Basically you download PDANet - it will take care of of the ADB drivers for you. Note - you WILL have to reboot the computer before the drivers actually work. Thanks to robinsondom for the linky, and thanks to theunlockr.com for that fantastic guide! It appears to cover basically any issues you may run into with ADB and Windows!

Hi arrrghhh,
I had a similar problem getting the drivers to work on my PC. I bookmarked a site that was very helpful, as I recall, in resolving this. Unfortunately, I still might have too few posts to upload a link. Let's see...
ok, that didn't work... maybe my next post...?

Hmm, you would think that 3+ years of responsible "lurking" (plus a few posts) might take me out of the "new user" category and allow me to post links -- but it seems I still need 5 posts no matter what. Maybe after this post (my 5th)...?

Trying one last time to post the link I mentioned...
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/
I hope you find it helpful.

lol I just thought a bunch of people responded
Unfortunately lurking for 3 or 30 years doesn't really make a difference. All goes by post count, you need 5 to be able to post a link. You're now at 6, congrats
I'll try that out now... I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks!
Update - that did it! I'm definitely saving this article. It seems USBDeview should only be used if your PC isn't prompting you.
I was pretty skeptical, but for whatever reason the drivers that PDANet offered to the system it took, when the ones that worked previously (same PC, same phone....) didn't work. Go figure.
Thanks again dude!
I updated my first post with credit & the solution. Awesome!

Download and install Droid Explorer standalone version.

Hi,
I've installed SDK and then the PDANet Software and it solved my driver problems. And now with the Droid Explorer I should be able to access my device and the SD card, but the Explorer does not find my HTC Touch Pro. What shall I do now??
Sry, I'm a Newbie in this Android stuff and I am very confused ^^

Hrm. Do you see the two USB-related icons in the notification bar in Android? It indicates two things, USB debugging (aka ADB) and USB mass storage (not working yet... probably not till we're full NAND.) So make sure it's enabled there... One other possibility is you're using a very old kernel that doesn't include USB support...?
ADB is a very advanced tool/topic... it's mainly for debugging. Not really noob-friendly - we're not at that stage yet.

Yes, I can see the two icons. I don't know what you mean with kernel?!
I just want to put some music on my device, without pulling out the card or using Windows Mobile Am I on the wrong way?

Uhm... probably easier to just pull the card. ADB is really meant to be used for debugging issues.
It's just the only way we can currently access the device in lieu of USB mass storage support.
Not sure what confused you about my kernel statement. Perhaps you need to update your kernel, that's all I'm saying... if you're running an older kernel, it might not have the correct support.
However, if you saw the icons in the notification bar, I would think USB support is working.

Just upgraded to Kies 2.1.0...Is Kies terrible for everyone or just me

I tried to use the previous version of kies to upgrade my gs2 but it never worked. Update would be from:
[KF3/phone:ke7/csc:KD1] to [KI4/phone:KI1/csc:kh2]
Which I'm sure is a big step forward as I haven't been able to update forever. I thought that once I updated Kies I'd finally be able to update my phone. Now when I connect my s2 and hit update firmware, as soon as it asks to backup it loses the connection to the s2. I've reinstalled drivers twice to no avail.
Does Kies just blow as a software or am I doing something wrong.

Kies blows big time - utterly useless... useless at upgrading, useless at backing up. According to their twitter @samsungkies - "Seamless experience with Smarter Kies". That's a joke of a statement. Go with Odin my friend, much less aggro and it works all the time.

^ I so much agree to that post.
Kies never worked for me, not even when my SGS II was used with the stock rom that shipped with it. While there was an update out for quite a long time (> 1 month) it still was showing my version as being current.
Odin is so much better or just as simple: flashing from CWM.

I briefly looked at Odin not too long ago, it looked sort of confusing. I'm in another country currently and spend most of my time either (50+ hours a week) working on projects here or exploring the country. As such I don't have much time to learn a new program if it's too confusing. But I'll give it a try and hopefully get to say goodbye to kies forever.
edit: Do I need to root* my s2 to use odin?

It's actually quite simply. Most ROMS come with only one file. That can be flashed via PDA. Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT, I repeat once again, do NOT, and again: do NOT! tick ANY option in ODIN, unless stated specifically in the ROM's instructions and even then tripple check that you're really about to flash a SGS II firmware.
So as long as you get the right firmware, do not tick anything and just flash it via PDA you should be quite safe. There's always a minimal risk, even if you do everything right but it's very very small.

Try This!
RUN Kies onces its loaded connect phone it will say connecting phone within a short period of time and error message will load, click onto the error message a new window will open, now it will have something like 4 stages. 1st stage will say disconnect cable from phone, once you have done this click on next or the follow up stage. Now this will or should Repair drivers, and now install drivers again once this has been done connect phone and phone will now load in Kies.
XP users may have to reboot PC for driver take effect.
Hope this hepls you.
PS:THIS problem only happen to me on live update, download new kies manually install no problems. Win 7 64bit

Looking at Odin for the first time can be a bit confusing. Once you know the score tho its very easy and quick. Flashing intras files for example is a complete doddle as it's 1 tar file

I've reinstalled the drivers using the connection error troubleshoot, and the phone connects fine to kies. It just loses connection to kies when I try to update the firmware. When I have more time I will most likely just use Odin but I don't want to root my phone in order to do it. Is rooting necessary?

Once you get your head around Odin, its a piece of cake.
Look for Intratech's Official i9100 Firmwares thread in the Original Android Development section, you'll find everything you could possibly need in there (instructions, firmwares etc)

i have had the same connect - disconnect or backup problems with kies (my version is 2.0.3) and have always blamed it on kies but once i tried to restart the phone, everything worked smoothly and i could do all kinds of operations with it. My phone is rooted and the current fw version is XWKJ1 original.

Just read a solution that works for me on the Dutch tweakers.net website:
- In Windows fully uninstall Kies.
- Download the latest Kies version and reinstall.
After that the upgrade worked for me.

do you have the link for the download, i still find 2.0.3 only, nothing directly 2.1

Windows 7pro (32bit) absolutely none of the problems listed here or on other threads (regardless of stock/custom anything) but.. Odin is easy if you follow instructions and seems much more reliable (see intratechs thread in dev section for instructions)

It finally worked for me, i don't know what happened why it suddenly decided to work/
One difference i noticed is i got a notification 'Samsung Modem succesfully installed' which i did not get for the past 2 hours of restarting,uninstalling ,installing. It just suddenly came when i connected the phone
Kies is really crazy as hell

I think you may just have to turn off your anti-virus/firewall software while you update. It worked for me.

Is any possible way to downgrade software?

My device is bricked and when I tried to flash V10F_00.kdz via LGMobile Support Tool, I got error message "The Cell phone is the latest version already. So you don't need to update." So if anyone knows another way to downgrade/upgrade software, I'll be happy to try.

Try V10i_00.kdz

I can't. Update tool says I have a latest software version and I don't need to update my phone. I tried to flash v10i yesterday, but something gone wrong and it stopped. And now my version is v10i, but I can't get into recovery, adb, I just can get into download mode and factory reset, but reset doesn't work too. Only possible way I see, it's waiting for new software version. But how long?

Are you being sure you have the right updater? It should be the UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe file...it will install the kdz regardless of the version, etc. You have to have the mobile tool installed as well but don't use it...just the marwin.exe

Of cause I used UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe

Very interesting I spoke with people who have the same problem. They got the same message from update tool like me. It seems like LG blocked something in their update server. Everyone who tried restore their rom to v10i version by update tool can't do this.

What if you disable internet on your computer?

I'm gonna try this method anyway, I still have nothing to lose, but how it may help?

I disabled internet on my computer and launched the update tool, and got this message "Please, check your internet line and excute program again." Then I tried to launch update via KDZ_FW_UPD.exe and got pop-up window with this message "Program "MOD UpTestEX MFC Application" stopped running. Close program."

From another board, maybe it,s worth a shot
When you run the Update tool, don't have the G2x plugged into the USB port. Once the App is running plug the G2x in and wait for it to be recognized... Does it still say that it is up todate? In the upper right of the Update tool windows, does it show the Model of the G2x and below that, it should show the version, something like 10F? Are there any letters at the end of the model No like "LG-P999DW-DU" OR LG-P999DWR" ??
There were a couple of Variants of the Model No that weren't recognized by the upda
OK, got it! 20th time's a charm! The key thing, after doing all the prep work as directed on the website, do not connect the phone until AFTER you launch the LGMobile Support Tool. This was suggested to me by the LG Forum Moderator.
However, the LGMST did not launch correctly until many attempts. Sometimes it seemingly launched but the text was a bunch of question marks. Other times I received a message stating the server would be down for several days in July 2011. Sometimes I tried to launch it and was told it was already running. I would have to go into the Task Manger and terminate the process.
When it finally launched correctly, the text was all legible and in the upper right-hand corner the app correctly identified my model (LGP999DW) and version (10F as I recall). Then I was told to connect the phone and the "Start Updating" bar was activated. I selected the Start Updating bar and the process commenced taking about thirty minutes.
You are clearly instructed to not disconnect the phone etc. Also, you are told that your phone will restart upon completion of the update. Be advised, the phone restart takes several minutes and then you finally are back to your familiar phone environment. I did not select the "Exit" button from the LGMST until my phone was fully booted.

he same problem, but I think that all depends on the lg suite. or the site that you download it. I tried in two different sites and finally I succeed in both, pc and lap top. try to uninstall and re-install the lg suite from different sites.

doesn't work..

Thx anyway!

Kobo Vox Problems

Hello all, well I'm in the process of trying to root this thing after the march 2nd update. However, when I plug it into the computer via usb Windows7 can't install the device drivers. I have usb debugging enabled but it still won't connect.
Anyone know how to fix this issue or has anyone had this problem also and how did you fix it?
Also, do you guys know how to root this thing? Every guide that I find and they say to download so and so package my anti-virus keeps telling me that the package contains a trojan so i'm not sure if I want to trust it lol
