Help..!! Phone not switching on

Hi all

I was trying to install XVIBE_ROM_v03 rom from the forum here and resulted in softbricking my lenovo P780 ROW 4 GB version.

After opening the flash tool and selecting the check box DA DL with checkbox and after clicking the Firmware->Upgrade button, i tried plugging in my cell (which is not powering on)

the flash tool doesnt proceed with a Blue and Green circles but simply doesnt do anything.

My cell is also not able to power on, is is serious, how can i revive my P780.

Please help me..!!:crying::crying:
[Lenovo P780] vasusmiling:
Remove back cover, remove memory card. Near memory card slot there is red button just press it once. Now try to switch on.
[Lenovo P780] Dark_Horse:
Ok, I answered my own question. Flashed to ROW S123 using the PC tool and then updated OTA to S124. All working fine, baseband changed from S820 V51 to P780 V23 during the flash. Don;t see much difference between the two ROM's other than a new Video app and a few new options.

LED still not working for notifications on S124 :mad:

[MENTION=2096206]ashoknraj[/MENTION], thanks for the deatailed instructions in first post, hardest part is installing the damn drivers and there are some steps which were different for me to get it working:

- Download the drivers and install on the PC using the exe tool in the package. Once installed, ensure USB debug mode is enabled on your P780 and that it is powered on and then connect to your PC using the USB cable. The drivers should pick up the P780 and install the device.

- Next, power off the P780 and then connect it again using the USB. The PC should again pick up the P780 again and you will see it briefly appear as an unknown device in the Device Manager. However, no need to right click and update drivers as you have already installed them previously so just let it search automatically for the best driver to use and it will finish installing. Once done, disconnect the P780.

- Run the flash tool and only connect your P780 after clicking the "Firmware->Upgrade" button. You will see a message in the status bar of the flash tool that says "searching" and then COM once the P780 has been found. If it stays on "searching" then it means the USB drivers haven't been installed properly and you need to redo.

- The whole process to flash takes about 7-8 minutes and a sqaure with a big green circle will appear on the Flash tool once done. Disconnect your P780 and power on as normal. The first boot takes about 5 minutes so don't panic, it will just show the usual Lenovo boot screen.

- Before rooting or doing anything else, go to System Settings -> All Settings -> About Phone -> System Update to update OTA from 123 to 124.

bootloader

I just bought the Lenovo P780. I'm really happy with it so far. Just one issue, the bootloader is in Chinese. I'm not very good at reading Chinese. Does anybody know if there is a translation of the bootloader anywhere? I've been google diving for two days with no success. Even just a translation of the pinyin would be very helpful. A custom bootloader would be better. Thanks friends.

HELP

I've soft bricked this device and I cant fix it. I downloaded the 8 gb ROW version twice and there is not a scater file in it. I have twice downloaded a file that shows only two small files in it although the size on disk is right. My p780 can't mount the emmc or anything other than the external sd and the system partition. I'm lost on what to do and the instructions are far from clear. Please help me. I was on stock ROW 124 rooted and TWRP. I'm used to HTC and I have no clue how to deal with this set. I've been trying to fix it for hours. How can a nearly empty file be more than 600 mb? What do I do with this thing??? Everywhere I turn says the same things that make no sense. I'm getting very frustrated. :( I would be very grateful for some help. O thank God. I found the first of my answers. B1 archiver can't read the file right. now I'm on track. I will update the post on any developments. :) Bless the Lord it works now :)
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Next time use 7z archiver. It is free.

[Lenovo P780] Supermatt01:
ok thanks

I like WinRAR better, but thanks for the advice. Could you help me again please? I have tried again. I got it on life rom 8gb version then tried again to flash the same MIUI rom and now it says no OS I can't even get my computer to see the system now last time I could fix it but this time I'm stuck. I thought I could reflash if I had trouble but I can't. I can't even get back on to 119 which is what helped last time. This time even know what I learnt before I can't fix it. My computer won't even read the mounted memory card as usb this time last time it would. Ok just a second ago I got a read on the usb but the flash tool still cant see the device. Finally it caught. After trying everything I could think of, I tried shutting down the phone after starting the flash tool and trying the button over and over while it was rebooting and it must of caught an in between moment cause it's working now :) I don't think I will get another device like this when I upgrade next time. I'm still too much of a noob :(
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Hi again. Please tel me some things about your phone:

-when you plug the cable on the phone and computer some window appear like: USB computer conection?

-did you installed the original drivers ?

-did you tried a reset ?
[Lenovo P780] Supermatt01:
I did install the drivers, they were never a problem. The windows did not pop up indicating a usb connection. I did three resets. It's back on again and doing well. I'm very interested to try KitKat on this phone but I just keep bricking it up like a noob. Why is there no ROW version of this update, that would greatly simplify things. At least an official 8gb version would be nice. Any ideas on that?
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
I think there will be no KitKat update for ROW firmware. Try to watch official sites, is my opinion. And good luck.
[Lenovo P780] Supermatt01:
I've been on the Lenovo forum for some time now and it's always the same. No questions are answered by any officials from Lenovo. But I'm still hopeful :) Thanks for the chat up. I hope to get better at this kind of device.
[Lenovo P780] kenny_cfc:
Nice post.

I am planning to go back to jelly bean as kitkat update has just been a dissappointment . I am currently on s226. so after i flash s119 how do i exactly update to s123 via recovery? i mean should i have the s123 ota update file on my external sd card? wont i get the update in the system update?

Just a friendly noob :)
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Hi. You can OTA update from s119 to s123 or s124.

Or you can just flash directly s123 or s124 with one firmware from around here. There are some posts with firmware.

Good luck.

Hello,

I want to install for example AOSP based ROM but i like Lenovo Power Managment. Is there possibility to install it separately ?

Is there any chance that SlimKat will be ported to Lenovo p780 ?
[Lenovo P780] almir1984:
How to downgrade from Kitkat to Jelly Bean,do you have some tutorial for that.
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Hi. For downgrade you must do :

1. download FlashTool 5 from arownd here(not FlashTool 3. This will not work)

2. Download your needed JB ROM, be careful users with phone made after 03.2014 must use the new preloader

3. Open FlashTool

4. Load scatter file from your needed ROM

5. Check DA/DL WITH CHECKSUM

6. Select Firmware Upgrade not Download.

7. NOW FLASH

8. GOOD LUCK

9. TELL US IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG.

Im trying to root p780 using framaroot. I got success, but after reboot all i got is supersu which try to install its binaries. Root checker says that i dont have root

Device is on 4.2 coz updates says that it has newest possible fw
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Go to Magazin Play and update your SuperSU to v.2.37 and all will be well ! good luck !
[Lenovo P780] ch3mn3y:
Tried and still cant update binaries. Tried using twrp/cwm, however as it has only stock recovery it doesnt work.

Is there any possibility to use it to flash su or cwm/twrp? Tried official supersu and superuser zips as update.zip but installation was always aborted

Sent using R800i - AuroraPLAY/LuPuS_GB (RAM)
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Try this.

Flash TWRP Recovery 2.6.3.0. from MobileUncle Tools. To do that you must extract the recovery from archive and copy on your root of your internal memory, the same for SuperSU. Start Mobileuncle Tools go to Recovery Update and select the first recovery that will appear there., remember the one from sdcard, internal memory. Reboot in recovery. From there you can flash SuperSU 2.37.

Good Luck.
[Lenovo P780] ch3mn3y:
Thanks. However i have one more question. Will mobileuncle work without root? I read about it but thought that root is needed.

Will try it monday as p780 is my friends phone and thats when i will see him

After downgrade from kitkat to 124Row on 4GB model camera dont work.

Do you have any solution how to fix that
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Hi. Tell us what is written on your phones box! Date of production!

If it is made after 03.2014 you must upgrade to kitkat! Jelly Bean will not work ! Camera i mean !

If it is made before 03.2014 you must reflash or update camera software !

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAXGEN:
I am not happy with any of the apps that I have used for sync over wireless LAN using CIFS/SMB. What I'm looking for is an app that wakes on white listed LANs and syncs at maximum performance if possible with the option for battery savings. But wake on LAN has always been flaky at best and I understand having a running service waiting for each LAN could be battery issue. I thought maybe waiting for a new WIFI and checking each time it initialize and then service would kick in at that time. Maybe using RSYNC, or CIFS or something else, not sure never done anything like this in code. I have only done a app or two but this will something I can learn from. I haven't done much with internet services so this is why I'm reaching out to the forum. Thanks for any help!

Hi, I already google it, and i found some solutions for the s3 t999 after the 4.3 update, however i cannot find any solution for the "call fail" when dialing a number, the only fix is to turn off and on again, I still dont know if the problem is related to the 4.3 official.

Never root the phone.

I would appreciate if anyone has a solution to this problem.

thanks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
Its a 4.3 bug, doesn't matter if you're rooted or not, or if you did the official update or updated through a custom rom, I'm thinking it should be fixed once kitkat is pushed out, or maybe with a small update from T-Mobile before then.. for the time being you can also toggle airplane mode on and off, it also works

Hi,

Sorry for not answering the other thread! I was at school so I didn't have time to do it! To format your tablet wipe clean you have two ways. First is restoring it completely to Stock, I believe Wugs can do it. Other way is going to settings, then "Backup & Reset" and at last factory reset.

Hope this helps you ;).

Just wondering of what peoples opinions are on the best remote desktop client is for the tf701?

I only ever intend to connect locally to a windows 7 professional x64 system, I have been using Microsoft's app since getting my asus 24 hours ago... it works yes but I have a feeling there will be better?

I hear great things about splashtop?

Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF701] Trevor_g:
Used to do this constantly. Look for an app by a company called Xtralogic - it was brilliant. Paid for the full version, just because if how well it worked with the mobile dock (pretty sure the program was designed for the TF101 and has probably only gotten better!).

Thanks, had a look, they dont do a trial verson though, is it worth the price over the alternatives?

[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
I have used Splashtop, JumpVNC and the mircrosoft remote one. All worked very well. Spashtop was my preference if on my home network as it offers great tablet gui support to work around the fact you don't really have a windows machine infront of you. The MS one worked well over the internet as splashtop want money for that. MS was the easiest to setup as no extra client is needed on the windows box.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Sleeepy2:
I use team Viewer, it's free and works great for me. You need to have the client running on the desktop pc, however for free it works great for my needs. I use it for my main pc, HTPC, my mother in laws, my dad's and at work.

I'm creating this thread just to share the solution of my problem.

The problem was:

I installed Windows 8.1 today and I was happy to find that there is a new Metro application for playing audio files. I was even more happy when I saw the ability to stream from that application ("Play") to a local DLNA Renderer.

Unfortunataly even that "Play" was able to find XBMC on my network, I couldn't sent music to it. It said something like "XBMC is not Microsoft certified device".

SO I started searching the net and found a simple way to get around this problem. It is needed to add one registry key in windows and that's all. The solution is available for all kinds of UPNP renderers which are not certified by Microsoft.

Enjoy! :)
