He didn't install any other preloader. Just what ROMS in my first post had.

As of the date, I can't see any on the back of the phone...

Try This:

1. now... turn off your phone(skip this step because yours is allready stoped)

2. plug your USB cable in your computer

2.1. do not plug your USB cable in your phone

3. open Flash Tool

4. check DA,DL WITH CHECKSUM (NOT OPTIONAL)

5. press Firmware Upgrade button (NOT DOWNLOAD BUTTON)

6. now just now plug usb cable to your phone.

7. firmware flash should start.(some red and other color lines should appear)

8. iff the firmware is not starting remove the back case of your phone and hold pressed the little red button from the right side, for about 20 seconds not less then release. All this must be done with cable pluged in to your phone.

9. after flash is done a green circle should appear

10. disconect your phone and power on your phone

11. lenovo logo should appear. then you should be pacient because it will took some time before android boots for the first time.

12. Reboot at least once then your phone is ready to work HARD.

13. Good luck. Hope This Helps You.

14. Do not be afraid. This phones are hard to HARD BRICK. Most of them are SOFT BRICK.
[Lenovo P780] Ly0n_30:
I'll try it asap, with the stock ROM, and I'll come back to you.
[Lenovo P780] Ly0n_30:
OK.

I managed to flash it, after reading this post: xdaforums.com/lenovo-p780/help/p780-bricked-recognized-pc-t2755207 with the ROM mentioned there (P780_S123_ROW_131231).

The prob now is that it powers ON, for less than a sec (screen flashes) and powers off again, so I guess I should try another ROM.

Any ideas of what ROM to try ?

The good think is that I managed to flash it :)
[Lenovo P780] Ly0n_30:
Funny, thing... the phone seemed to e out of batery, after the last flash. After I plugged it on my PC and it started charging, it works ok, up to now (haven't used it with a sim card yet).

big problem with p780

Hello!

I tried to make an upgrade of firmware at my phone with flashtool, the process started and in a few minutes my computer turned off suddenly! I can boot the phone neither the reset button, neither the combination between power button and volumes + or -. If I try to connect my phone on the pc, it appears in device manager Unknown device!

I took the phone from pandawill.com,china, in september 2014, flashing s136.

What can I do?

Thanks!

Hello

For some reason it looked like I either hard bricked or soft bricked my P780 last night, because my phone is going haywire (kept returning application errors, including Google services) yesterday for some unknown reason. When I tried to factory reset it, it bootloops. Then I tried to revert to stock rom via flashing, but the SP flash tool kept returning an error when using the Upgrade. The error says that there is no PMT on my phone. Then I tried to format all of my phone using SPFT. It worked, but when I use the download option, it kept returning error No Space Error (5069) after downloading the preloader. Now all my P780 can do is charging and detect itself to the computer.

Maybe someone can help me, please?

Thank you!
[Lenovo P780] shaqimon:
Bricked, no clue whats causing it

I kinda like softbricked it by accident, but luckily i have the backup of my original and flashed it, and it went back to normal. The problem is when every time i downloaded another rom, and flashed it, same thing happened and had to go back to original backed up rom. Is it because of the preloaders that makes it unable to turn on? Can't i just untick the checkbox PRELOADER before flashing?

Oh, and mine is not original. The seller told me so.

p780 doing its thing

Hello from me too....

I've been trying to fix a friends phone for days. I've followed 1 gazillion tutorials and nothing seems to work.

She bought the phone from minideal a few months back and a few days ago it started rebooting on its own.

When I got the phone in my hands it booted up and seemed to be working.

I checked in Settings>Manage Apps and noticed an app calling its self "System Service" in /data apps.

I thought that she downloaded a virus so I tried to uninstall it. As I pressed uninstall the phone rebooted but after the boot screen it said that something happened with the encryption and that I should factory reset it.

I rebooted to recovery and wiped /data and /cache.

After the wipe the phone ended up in a boot loop. It was showing the Lenovo logo then rebooting.

I tried flashing P780_ROW_S124_140403_rooted_twrp_gapps from this thread but I got an error saying BROM error S_DL_PMT_ERR_NO_SPACE

and after that the phone doesn't respond at all.

I read that if the production date is after the 3rd of 2014 you have to use another preloader and I tried with that one too since on the box says 05 2014.

I also tried Lenovo_P780_S228_ROW_PreRooted_TWRP and P780_ROW_S226_140919_Rooted_SPFlash_TWRP

I've tried flashing them again and again with and without the new preloader but I had no results...

Can anyone please help? In a few days I'm traveling back home and she'll have to use her ancient nokia that has a battery life of 5 hrs

Also, the phone gets recognized differently everytime I plug it in (I am using windows 8.1 32bit) as the following three in the pic attached.

Hi Guys,

Please help, I accidentally flash boot.img with recovery.img using flashify tool....now my P-780 is not booting up after android logo its running in loop. I able to enter in CWM recovery. Can anybody give me link or stock boot.img file for Lenovo P-780. It will be helpful.

Thanks

[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Hi Sarang. Can you tell us what firmware do you have before flash ROW what version and if CN the same.? If we send you wrong boot.img your phone will not work !
[Lenovo P780] sarang_bits:
hi stympy, thanks for quick response well I am from India, currently m on kitkat 4.4.2 but dont remember S_xxx_ROW version is there any way i can know it from custom CWM ? I can enter in CWM .

---------- Post added at 02:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:10 PM ----------

one more thing its 8GB version & i took back up of kernel using flashify before screwing boot.img. but its on internal memory & CWM is not able to mount emmc therefore not able to access that back up too. Anyways i dont think restoring kernel will fix issue as Boot.img has more package than just kernel. So, restoring stock boot.img can only fix issue...

---------- Post added at 02:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

I was upgraded to latest firmware & in lenovo community I see latest firmware as P780_ROW_S228.....
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Hi. Here is the full firmware you need !

In here you will find the pieces you need to rebuild your softbrik phone !

An here you will find custom recovery TWRP. I think TWRP is mutch better then CWM. I reccomend you this one: openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0rev2-p780row.zip.

If you need other advices PM me.

Good Luck.

hi stimpy,

may i ask.. what does error 4001 means?

i tried flashing ROM P780_ROW_S124_140403_rooted_twrp_gapps and used the default preloader and the preloader found here in this thread but still this error 4001 appears.

please help..

thank you in advance.

---------- Post added at 03:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 AM ----------

and whenever i use flashtool 3.13, i encounter error dram failed.. please help.. thank you.
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Hi. Error 4001 means that your PC or notebook cannot communicate with the phone. This error could be initiated by: bad driver, bad USB cable, faulty USB port or the worst of all broken mainboard of your phone.

Try to flash with SP Flash Tool v5 and see what is going on.

Good luck.

i am unable to switch on my phone. it was working fine 3 days back when i turned it off. now when i am trying to switch it on, nothing happens. phone not even showing on pc not even a device connecting sound. Nothing happened when i plugged charger. Absolute nothing.
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
This could be an accumulator problem or worse, a motherboard problem.
[Lenovo P780] drsparsh:
What is accumulator? Phone was working absolutely fine when I switched it off. Is it possible that the battery went into deep discharge?

It is possible. I am worried about charging red led, witch is not going on.

[Lenovo P780] mobin79:
my phone had gone into a similar state last week, but i knew that the battery had more than 50% charge. so i removed the battery . then connected the phone to my pc. the pc did not detect the phone. so i used usb deview to uninstalled all mediatek and MTK entries.

after this thankfully when i connected the phone to the pc it got detected. then i updated the vcom driver and flashed a new rom.

but the red led not coming on is a serious problem. like stympy said it could be a motherboard issue :(
[Lenovo P780] drsparsh:
Tried everything. Nothing happened. Phone is dead.

My advice for you is to take the phone to a service store.

if the motherboard is not being detected even after disconnecting the battery and updating the driver then its a serious issue. try service center as a last resort.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] Sheltinka:
Hello everyone!

Today when I tried to use my phone, I got this error message:

I'm on Samsung Captivate Glide, AT&T version, running on Gingerbread 2.3.5, and I've never had this problem before.

From what I've gathered, it appears when:

I tap on a contact in Contacts and in Favorites (it says "No additional information for this contact"), and even on contacts saved as shortcuts on homescreen. Also when I try to Add a new contact.

However, it does let me call when I slide my finger over the contact to right.

Now, I browsed a number of threads and forums so far to see if I can't find anything to help. This is all I've tried so far:

Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All > Contacts / Contact Storage > Clear data

I also cleared data from all google applications this way, and also from Account and sync settings, Calendar, Calendar storage, Dialer, Dialer Storage, DRM content, DRM content launcher, DRM protected content storage, Media storage as per adviced, with no luck.

A fairly common reason for this error was said to be Facebook sync, or Calendar app, but the thing is I don't even have a FB account and I don't use my phone's calendar. Similarly, it was suggested that you turn off sync, but I didn't have sync on, and I tried disabling Background data as well, but again, no luck.

With some users, problem seemed to lie in recently updated app, especially those that use the contacts. I uninstalled [Yahoo] Messenger, Google +, Whatsapp, , Drive, Skype, Twitter, and Facebook, Gmail and YouTube updates (since can't get rid of the apps themselves) and several other apps (Firefox, Cut the Rope Experiments game), but - you guessed it - to no avail.

Thing is, when I chose the option to Merge contacts with google account, it fetched all my google contacts and let me use them.

I tried saving all my contacts as Vcard list, cleared the storage and then tried to boot all contacts from the saved Vcard again. I got the same error message (I uploaded it in Attachments). I though that might be caused by some glitch in my recent contacts, so I tried to import that Vcard to google contacts, then export it again and open in phone. Same error message. To confirm it's not a problem with recent contacts, I managed to dig out an older Vcard (from last year), but it doesn't work either.

Funny thing is, when I select the option Import/Export in Contacts, I only get one option, and that's Send namecard via. If I recall correctly, there used to be more options, no...? When I first got the phone, I transferred my contacts from LG KP500 Cookie by these same namecards without any problem.

I saw some people link to some patch fix for HTC, do you think it would work on my Glide?

Tl;Dr: Out of the blue, I got an android.process.acore force close error. I can call but can't access or edit my contacts nor load namecards on GB. Tried everything advised on various fora, nothing helped.

I would appreciate any advice or even a suggestion, as I would like to avoid factory reset... Thanks :(
[Samsung Captivate Glide] awambawamb:
same thing here, I cannot add contacts and keep crashing - I've tried also to clear the data and stop the processes of Contacts and contacts Storage, but with now result.

I am on a Samsung Galaxy S2 running Gingerbread 2.3.5

EDIT: I can't even load my contacts back from the SD card. woooooohooooo, everything was fine and working before some app update...I don't keep track of everything after every little modification of an app, tough. please help!

Hi!! I got myself a s5 and I love how I can listen music with it through my ear buds and sport earbuds. but when I travel I want to hear better sound quality with headphones. I was thinking about getting sol republic headphones like the track ultra. also want the headphones to be able to use the buttons with it, not only call and end call like most headphones are because they are made for apple crap. please and thank you!
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] justanotherasian:
What do you mean buttons? Sol Republic's Track ultra's buttons are used for call and end call, though it also offers volume control and pause/resume/skip. Most headphones offer that though... Plus, do you have a budget and what kind of music do you listen most to?

I'm using the Beats Mixr's and while I'm satisfied with the sound quality of them, they are extremely uncomfortable and squeeze the sides of your head like crazy. It makes it impossible to listen to music for longer than 40 minutes.

Maybe I could not understand exactly but why don't you use the stock option

OR

maybe you want to forward calls automatically when its AC plugged. In this case commercial applications like SKSCHEMA can help..

I have a question: why is it that every rom, every new OS all the icons stays the same? Why don't these companies or rom developers just create a whole new icon set? Yes, I know that I can install a launcher and get new icons but I like to just leave the phone just the way it is without installing a launcher and then installing sets of icons. Samsung is the same, KiKat is the same as way back to eclair. No difference. Its just the same ol' same ol' boring icons.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Its one of those, "if it ain't broke" things I guess. It seems to me a lot of folks think they nailed it back on ics, so they are sorta sticking to a lot of that and introducing changes a little at a time. Kk for example does have a different look in some areas such as the status bar and notification area. I also think that most significant changes will be made for different devices. The average person using their S3 for the past 2 years may not want all different icons when they update. They expect to only have to relearn what's what when getting a new device.

Thats a theory anyway...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] allendj81:
You have done great things with the 4.3 update, the themes are freaking awesome to change the stock-flat-boring icons from TW. Personally, Im using the AOSP theme on the TW launcher, love that combo! Thanks for giving us taste of KK with your sprint port. Can wait for you to mess with the KK update we will be getting soon. Oh, and I have a request for your future KK rom, include the AOSP theme or the option to use the google launcher like you did on 4.3 :highfive::highfive::highfive:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Actually, I cannot take credit for all of that! If I am not mistaken you are referring to the StockMod rom right? Pretty much the entire rom is the work of [MENTION=3760726]saranhai[/MENTION]. All due credit goes to him for that one! And I am certain he will be hard at work on it too.

We just got wifi working, so if we can get screen rotation solved, it wouldn't surprise me if he rebased using my port!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] johnny quest:
Yeah, I guess that makes sense. its just that, if you build a rom couldn't the icons be replaced to make it a bit different? I do like the flat samsung icons even though they still look the same, its just flat. I don't like using launchers any more because most of them need to install lots of widgets in order to complete the launcher and then when I install another rom then I have to do that all over again. Thats why I gave up on launchers.

Your roms are great and I love them. I guess what I'm trying to say is that most KK roms gets boring with the same look. I know that there's some that offer more features in settings, but they still look the same in general. I mean, they still using the same stock messaging icon since the beginning of Android, time for a change.
