[Lenovo P780] hulkee:
Hi, I'm noob when it comes to smartphones, so please be patient with me and write BFU-friendly if you can. :)

Friend of mine bought new Lenvo P780 from China, but he didn't know that it will support only english & chinese languages. Long story short, I ended up with the pleasure of finding out how to make it support Czech language (so that the menus/interface is available in czech language).

Device specifications:

Lenovo IdeaPhone P780

Android 4.2.1

build P780_S308_130814

bseband versin P780.V16 2013/07/03

Can you please help and give me some options about ho to do it and/or step/by/step of some solution?
[Lenovo P780] soralz:
You can check out my thread by flashing ROW (International ROM) maybe there will be Czech available, if not use language changer,
[Lenovo P780] Dagon84:
Hi, i'm using the rom SLX by silenteex v23a and čeština language is supported. Unlucky, i'm italian, so i can't say if there are mistakes or not.

If you dont' want to change your ROM, download MORELOCALE 2 from the play store, but you need root to execute it.
[Sony Xperia ZL] kekks:
Had the battery known issue with my Zl, gave it to the service centre.

They gave me a refub piece with all scratches and I refused it as my piece was just a month old. They promised me a new piece but now are stating they can't arrange a new one.

The options provided are:

1) ZL Refurbished

2) New ZR

3) Upgraded xperia series, diff to be paid as Sony website price.

Please suggest me, I am too confused or if any escalation are that can be found for India.
[Sony Xperia ZL] bhavstech:
what do you mean by Upgraded xperia series, diff to be paid as Sony website price.?
[Sony Xperia ZL] kekks:
I can opt for another xperia device, the MRP price for ZL & the device that I opt for is listed on the sony website, the difference of the amount would be required to be made by me in the form of DD before they place an order for the new device.

For Eg: ZL listed as INR 26990/- (Indian rupees)

Xperia Z listed as INR 33990/- (Indian rupees)

The amount can be calculated only as per the Sony website & its too high. The diff of 7000/- need to be paid by me, if I choose the xperia Z.
[Sony Xperia ZL] bhavstech:
then go for a ZR
[Sony Xperia ZL] kekks:

Hi, well a friend of a friend gifted me an LG L9 Model P778G (

Carrier:

Personal Telecom

Country:

Argentina). The only thing that he told me was that he dropped his phone and it didn´t turn on back anymore. I externally charged the battery. The phone doesn´t turn on, sometimes when I connect it to my PC (windows XP) it recognizes it as OMAP4430 but only when battery is not connected (when I connect battery it says unrecognized usb device, when I press Vol+ and Vol- with or without battery it also says unrecognized device. Already tried to flash with LG Mobile Support and KDZ but it says phone not connected. I would like to know how can i get the phone back working and if possible with Jelly Bean (I don´t know if phone had JB or ICS, but of what I almost certain is that it was never modified because it belonged to an old person). Please explain with detail though I'm not used to LG (HTC & Samsung owner) and don't know much of it.Thanks to everyone!

ASSUMING you know how to install fastboot drivers there are instructions on the forum ...so follow those guide note fastboot drivers work best on windows 7 windows 8 was giving me hard time ...

1.install fastboot drivers

2.run lelus script at the same time hold vol+ button once the script shows the OMAP device close the script and immediately put the battery back in .The LG phone will boot into S/W mode !

Make sure you write down your imei or serial number AND make sure battery is fully charged . then

Its hard for me to believe that no one on here works at or is friends with someone that works at a best buy Samsung experience store that has access to the S.M.A.R.T.

No they don't .. but they have the ability the flash your phone back to stock firmware no matter what you have done to your phone in the past .. and without having to follow descriptive instructions to do it yourself via ODIN with multiple downloads.

I visited my local Samsung Booth at BestBuy .. I was one of the lucky ones that was constantly erroring out while trying to install the KK OTA .. Samsung flashed my phone back to NB4 without a bat in the eye .. within seconds of my phone rebooting, it re-started the NC2 KK OTA download .. rebooted, and complete success .. my progress bar on the installation past 27% .. full 100%, rebooted and now I am on FULL 4.4.2.

The BB guy here showed me an internal memo that told them not to put software on a device that was below the version currently installed due to a large amount of devices being bricked.

He was just happy someone asked him questions.

Real IT Tech! Real Fact!!

I visit BB yesterday to reflash my phone. The Samsung representative had issues logging on to smart tools. She actually showed me the screen on the laptop. She explained that she has to use her best buy login username and password that is assigned to her to login which was failing. No one in the store did know what the issue was. Since I told her I'm a IT professional she asked for my assistance. I verified SmartTool is the software that is required to flash all the current Samsung phones. The error message required that TLS is required to connect. She was using I.E. to login which was pretty simple access the I.E. settings and enabled it. Right afterwards she was successfully able to login to the Samsung Server. Even if you did have the tool its still usless. The tool is only used to access SAM server only. Plus the laptop she was using I'm sure is dmz or other words the MAC ID of the pc is registered on their firewall to even connected. So having this tool is irrelevant. A real Samsung guru knows Samsung has been using upgraded versions of this to flash it phones. BTW they currently have 4.4.2 available. It took only 7 minutes to flash my At&t Note 3 to Kitkat 4.4.2

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeeserious:
It's nothing something someone is going to jeopardize their job for. The actual firmwares doesn't become available on Smart for actually a few days after the OTA update comes through anyways. Plenty of people come in wanting the update as soon as OTA pushes, but often the software doesn't have it yet.

Samsung tells SEC's to not reflash rooted devices. This is a liability issue because you could turn around and blame the SEC for whatever reason if the device bricks. You obviously knew what you were doing in the first place when rooting, so why bring it in really. Sammobile provides the same flashable files, so if you know enough, you should be able to do it yourself.

The SES is really there to support individuals learn and do light troubleshooting. Majority of the SEC workers are not even XDA savey. Smart is really simple, but majority of them do not know Odin or anything outside of what they're trained. So be careful who you hand your phone to. I see plenty of phones get wiped even when it was suppose to be a simple "update."

And no, Smart will not fix your Knox count. Smart can flash a rooted device to an OEM rom, but it will still show a tripped flash from before.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 440bro:
Sammobile hasn't updated our device since release. Version MI9 is on there, but it's un-flashable unless your on MI9. :(
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtmj06:
Funny how both of the guys I talked to there on separate days, both rooted their phones, both new exactly what they were doing, and both were more than happy to help me. It depends on how you talk to people. Be kind and they'll treat you the same.

I learned pretty much the same stuff they knew in the time I was there. They updated the smart tool a week or so ago. It's now called smart 2. If the employee hasn't taken the time to learn the program, you're probably gonna be out of luck. We found out that my guy would flash the "HOME" firmware when they used the original smart tool. Home is basically the unlocked firmware straight from Samsung. He used to put that on people's phones to help them out, but we found out you can no longer put that on carrier locked phones anymore. Instead, they need to put the "factory" firmware on the phone. We tried to update my phone straight to kitkat but it failed miserably each time. Once we applied the factory 4.3 to my phone, it worked like a charm. He logged me onto the wifi their and downloaded the OTA in no time.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtmj06:
And yes, they will jeopardize their jobs for that software. My guy tried numerous times to copy the program but they blocked usb writing on the computer he used.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeeserious:
When I was on MI9, it never worked. Could be due to root as well. But some firmwares don't pull up in smart for some reason I found. In this case the SEC would need to put the phone into recovery and flash the phone through a different menu option in Smart with a "Home" flash.

Not everything is supported through Smart right away. Smart doesn't have any international roms. Even the new tab pro's and S5 are not on there yet. If plugged up, it's reported that it'll brick somehow.

Just be sure the person you're talking to is confident in what they're doing.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curto:
Hey guys sorry to dig up an old thread but I needed to share - this Smart software saved my ass today at the Samsung store in Sydney, Australia.

I rooted my gf's S8 (SM-G950F) but didn't flash the custom ROM straight away. I booted into the stock ROM whilst I wasted for a custom ROM to download on my PC and sure enough the RMM kicked in (which I didn't know about, n00b) and locked me out of TWRP when I went to eventually flash the new ROM. The interesting thing is from that moment (ie, second reboot after flashing TWRP) the OS was not bootable and I had a bootloop. Since I had no recovery, and I couldn't reinstall TWRP due to RMM (unofficial binary error) I resorted to flashing a stock ROM/firmware via ODIN so that at least the phone was usable while I waited the 7 days for RMM to reset.

This is the bit I don't understand. I tried several different firmwares both Nougat and Oreo that I got from the Updato website, several different versions of ODIN, two different PCs and multiple cables but no matter what I tried I couldn't get anything to flash successfully. The main error I couldn't get around was "KERNEL REV CHECK FAIL". Believe me, I scoured the internet and after 10hrs I gave up since I couldn't find any forums or solutions which worked.

Next day I went into the Samsung store expecting them to tell me **** off but I was open and honest about what I had done and started speaking to one of the technical guys there. He was pretty sympathetic, and offered to have a go at resetting it for me. Sure enough it worked first go - recovery was back and the OS booted flawlessly. He said the Smart software is login protected (ie you need employee credentials) and that normally they don't touch rooted phones.

So yeah in summary this software is a pretty good last resort if you think you've ****ed your phone, but I imagine not every Samsung store will help you out so easily.
