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.

LG mobile support tool stuck at 10% installing?

on 3 of my computer, all 3, are stuck at 10% while installing lgmobile support tool... nothing done yet, just installing the software onto the pc.
seriously, is LG support really this bad? I had a skyrocket before and everything was such a breeze...
don't get me wrong, the phone and the developers we have on here is awesome.. but man, LG don't stand behind their products at all.

[Q] PC do not detect Optimus G

Hello, after I updated my LG Optimus G E977 (same as E975) to Android 4.4 KitKat it can no longer be detected by the computer, and this is driving me crazy, I've been for 2 days trying everything I can do, I've searched and tried every single inscruction that I see on google, allowing debug, changeing port, trying in another computer, changing cable, updating drivers, I've even factory resetted my phone and computer and done everything again (yes, I am desperated).
I know that maybe no one can help me because, trust me, I tried everything that the internet said me to try, and I do not believe that someone have a new way to do it.
I need to root and activate a bootloader because LG sucks (as you can see by this update) and change for cyanogen or another good rom, but it is IMPOSSIBLE because no exploits for root works, the pc can not detect it, oh my god, i am so angry to LG, it took for them 3 years to launch the only update that their flagship had in it's whole life and they do something like that, oh my god, LG.... WHY???
Anyone have any idea on what to do? (yep, i will change my phone in the next few months because LG no more)

Tried towelroot? No pc required.

You need to install LG UNITED MOBILE DRIVERS .. google these and connect your phone after installing them..
I'd also recommend you to take a look at the device manager while the phone is connected

gprorecovery.apk

Where can it be found?

Found and installed. Now just have to figure how to get into recovery?

1) If you have ADB, connect, allow adb and adb reboot recovery
2) Hardware key combo: Volume Up & Power until LG screen appears, then Volume Down twice, then Power (yeah, looks like game cheat code but it really works)

I thought I had the drivers loaded because I could see my phone in explorer but I must not have the drivers loaded.now how can I find the adb drivers and how do I set them up? Every time I think I am getting somewhere I get thrown way back again. All I want to do at this time is reload the firmware so I can access the ext sd card witch was lost while trying to root and install cwm. I am about to throw this **** aginest the wall wall that way this will be fixed for good.

Use LGUnifiedDriver, it should install both adb and LG drivers

Where can I get a clean download of it? I am running windows 8.1 . I do have a pc with windows xp as well just havent used it in a while.

LG's support site I think, I still use old version, from first time I've flashed something via LGFlashTools.. You can download that and LG Support Tool from there too.

I have the lg support tool installed as well as the lg pc suite and lg flash tool. I will give it a shot using the lgunifidedriver. I wonder when I origanly tring to root and install cwm and then lost the ability to access the ext sd and not being able to boot into recovery. Could it have made my phone not recognizably? I can see the phone in win explorer when plugged in. The pc does not recognize it in device manager. It says it has no drivers.
Other than that the phone works normal (makes calls,receives calls,and such.).

That sounds like Windows problem more. You don't have any of those all-in-one driver packs for Android devices installed? How did you root it?

Well I read to use lg support tools to install drivers then used geefree app to root checked with root checker witch said it was rooted ok then used gprorecovery.apk to put cwm on it. Witch said it installed sussfully. After I had it done I noticed I could not access the ext sd card nor boot into cwm. I read on anouther android forum about a felle who had the same issues and someone said the geefree app caused the issues with the ext sd and not booting into recovery.the phone all works fine except for the issues. I figured if I could return back to stock 4.4.2 witch it is on now it should be back to stock and I could try again from the beginning. I also read something about not using a 3.0 usb in windows 8.1 to use a 2.0 usb port. I'll have to see what usb port is what on my laptop. I hope this is all making sense.

Return it back to Jellybean if possible, use old Jellybean root metod available in the forums, install Freegee and flash TWRP from there, and later update it to newer TWRP on forums. Freegee is a step you can't avoid because it's the only way we can unlock our phones (that I know), and their TWRP doesn't support SDCard (not sure about CWM, but I think it also had that problem, it was long time ago I've used it). E980 can get a bit shady, but it's a great phone, so don't lose your patience yet.

Thanks for the info. I belive I have the drivers installed now, I can see the phone in the device manager of windows and it looks to be good. I will keep you informed as to how it go's.

LG flashing Tool problem

I rooted my G3 using iRoot while having Lollipop 5.0 installed. I have just received my update from LG for Marshmallow. When I tried to do the update it told me that my phone was rooted so I can't get it. I un-rooted my phone, and tried to put everything back to the way it was, but no go. They still said my phone is rooted. The problem is that I can't do a hard factory reset. I get a message "secure booting error ...".
So after reading up on it a bit, I realized I needed to flash a stock ROM through my computer. I downloaded all that I needed, and installed LG Flashing Tool 1.8.1.1023 on my Windows 10 computer, following all the directions exactly (including replacing MegaLock.dll). The program installed, but when I wanted to run it, it told me that it couldn't find MegaLock.dll, and then asked for an ID and Password. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it many times using slightly different versions, but I had the exact same problem each time. Then I decided to try and install it on a Windows 7 machine, and it worked. So it seems that something is keeping it from working on the Windows 10 computer. Can anyone help me with this, or maybe there is another way? Maybe the dll file has to be placed somewhere else? Maybe a different MegaLock.dllis needed that is compatible with Win10? Maybe a different program? I have no idea. Any and all help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

I had problems with LG Flashing Tool the first time I tried to flash stock after upgrading my system OS to Windows 10. I finally got it to work by changing the compatibility mode for application file to Windows 8. I successfully flashed back to D85510L_00.KDZ after making the change I just mentioned.

Thanks, but I tried that already. Didn't work. In the end I transferred everything to my wife's Windows 7 computer and and did the flashing there. Everything ran as smooth as can be.
