samsung i780 how to hard reset

my fd got a i780 in hong kong and try to put in chinese rom failed.anyone knows how to do hard reset with it?
and any rom with wm6.1 eng for i780 ?

Spoke to Samsung today .... and it would appear that the rumours are true and that no -one including Samsung know how to perform hard reset !!
They also confirmed they would not be able to flash update the ROM to UK version for me .... GREAT !!!
I have located a friendly forum member who has a UK working version and is happy to dump the ROM .... but we don't know how to ....
Can anyone help in a step by step approach to dumping ROM and then creating a flashable version I can use?
Any help from anyone Really gratefully received ....

This is too bad.....has anyone tried using a program for Safemode on this ppc?.....perhaps thats the only way to perform a hardreset for those that are stuck on the welcome screen.....because the safemode will kick in when the ppc detects resets in a loop and then thats when you're able to enter the ppc in safemode just like a normal pc......i guess from here you can either uninstall the program that was incompatible or go through start-setting etc etc-hard reset option......anyone here cares to try this and let us know which safemode program they are using and if it works?.....thanks

You can Install RealVGA, and then also the Language Pack.
So you can change the Language of your i780.

Should we start a trial and error method on the hard reset?

Thanks for all you testing....
What do you mean with "emergency mode"? And what about pin reset?
At the end.....are you able now to hard reset with this procedure?
Thanks a lot in advance.

No emergency mode does not give hard reset, it seems to be used for downloading ROM to flash using in OS Upgrade............

Didn't work for me.

I had an idea... Use AEBPlus. Find the software app that does the hard reset and map it to a key combination in AEBPlus. Even is the screen does not work, if you know the password (usually 1234, enter) then this might work as a backup fix until another way is found.

Saw this in PPCSG Forums, maybe you could try this...
"Can someone try if the below steps can cold reset the I780???
1. Remove the storage card from the device, if one is
present.
2. With phone powered off:
 Press and hold both the left and right softkeys.
 While both softkeys are held down, press and
hold until the unit powers on.
3. As the device begins to power on, release both
softkeys.
Note Once the phone powers on, you should see an
onscreen alert message (a white screen with blue text).
If you do not see this screen, let the device power up
normally, turn it off again, and then repeat steps 2 and
4. Immediately after the alert screen appears, press
the left softkey.
5. If the reset was successful, the device displays a
pop-up message stating the device is currently
reformatting. This process can take several
minutes. Allow the process to finish without
interruption."

Locked out of my phone after setting password in Kavana 6.1 :(

I changed my password after upgrading to an alpha numeric.
the last digit in my password is 1
however, the keyboard wont let be type the number 1 in the password field.
It let me type it when I set the password, but now it won't, and I am completely locked out of my phone. can't sync, battery removal fails....
does anybody have any ideas? I really need my phone...

no numbers will work at all in the unlock field. now it says "several incorrect pw's have been used, enter a1b2c3 to continue... would a hard reset work?

ok I fixed it lol...
for those of you that run into the same issue... DO NOT reset your phone.
on the unlock screen, you have to press alt then the number, rather than holding the key down and waiting for the number to appear.

LMAO !!!

Dang. That would SUCK if your alt button didn't work! I hate to hard reset unless absitively posolutely necessary...

I ran into a similar problem. I entered a numeric password but unfortunately I forgot the password! I've tried several different number but cannot seem to figure it out! Is there any way I can reset my phone so that I could bypass the password?

LG Incite CT810 reset security code

There is a reset button, but only for soft reset i think. Any code to do factory reset for this phone yet?

have you tried 1234

i'm not asking for help to guessing the code. I need help identify the secrete buttons combination to be able to get to the dial pad to enter factory reset code. Or if there are any other method since this one has WM OS.

Yes! you go to start>settings>ststem>clear storage
then enter 1234 and will be promted to clear phone memory as if it was factory reset.

Hard reset?
Flash?

Hold down the Camara + Volume Down + End Phone Call (Power Off) Button all at the same time...

What if the phone is in "Emergency Download" mode? I hit the keys for this to update the Incite but the program from LG didn't work. Now the phone is stuck in this mode. I pulled the battery, pressed the power button, still says emergency download. Tried the hard reset key presses, still says it. Crappy LG.....

When you pulled the battery, was the phone plugged in?

Hi, i need know how to do a hard reset, because i put a password, but i forgot it, can you help me???
I can enter in download mode (hold-green-red) but no in emergency mode(v down-hold-red) :-(
Help me pleaseee
thank you

It happened with me once but the device unlocked when I entered my google username and password(and amazingly without any data connection)..
I think it matches the username and password stored in the device(used 2 connect 2 android market,2 sync data etc) to verify(may be thats why it didn't need any data connection..
try this :
-->If u use any different password along with your google account username to connect to 'htc hub' and/or 'htc likes' try those(i don't remember which i used)..
-->try entering null as password. (together with your google username)
-->try entering your username without @gmail.com
-->use both of above two steps together
-->try changing ur google account password via computer and try again..
-->go to htcsense.com and click forget password under sign in and reset ur password following the link sent to ur gmail and then try again
-->Call yourself from another phone, answer, without hanging up press the home button, then menu button, settings, try to disable pattern-lock or change pattern
-->Call yourself from another phone, answer, hang-up, directly after hanging up start pressing your buttons like a madman for <30-60 seconds ending with your home button (might take a while to get the timing right). Go into settings and disable pattern-lock.
-->try first 4 steps without the sim..
other than these saving ur data on devices internal memory will be difficult..factory reset phone or contact service centre(who will also probably factory reset ur phone)..well !! Best of Luck..:fingers-crossed:

If you created device specific password for your phone through "google 2-step verification", you have to enter that password instead of your actual google password...

just restart ur phone nd try ur pattern again.. thats it....

Pattern Lock

Hello all,
I have forgotten Pattern Lock .. Now email address and password is required to sign in.
I enter correct email and password but cannot sign in. I am using the same email and password on PC but is not working now on my phone.
Is their any way without factory reset.. ???

Yes,
Get into bootloader by switching ON your phone and holding the volume down button
You can then find a FACTORY RESET there. Orientate by volume buttons and confirm by power button.
