Hi, I think I am in deep trouble now. My p780 8gb is completely dead after trying to flash a TWRP recovery in to it using a flash tool. Not sure what went wrong I fiddled with some settings in flash tool like 'firmware upgrade' and 'download' and at last saw a Dram failed message. I was using the latest s226 Kitkat ROW. Now all I can see is a red led charging light glowing while connecting it to a computer. The device is not getting recognized by VCOM drivers so no use with flash tool any more. Tried to reboot in to recovery and meta mode but the phone simply does not turn on. Anyone knows how to unbrick this, kindly help.
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Hi. Please tell me if your phone is made in 2014. From what i see all phones made in 2014 must be flashed with another preloader. The simptoms you are described here seems that way. Waiting fro reply...

2014 vesrsion

Hi stympy,

Yes it is a 2014 January version. But to be honest I was using a ROM with 2013 version preloader but never faced any problem, Today purposefully changed it to the new 121kb 2014 preloader and everything was fine till I used the v5 flashtool to flash the twrp and I think I selected the upgrade option in it and flashed the twrp> found the ROM and preloaders from needrom.com from the uploader xxxsadistxxx .It worked flawlessly and then after first booting I configured the wi-fi settings again turned it off and tried to install the custom recovery. Now completely helpless because the phone is not getting detected by VCOM drivers.
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Look what you have to do!

Hi. The think was someting like this:

0. Unzip/Unrar those 2 archives.

1. First i install the .exe file from archive LenovoUsbDriver_autorun_1.0.10.zip. Reboot PC.

2. Plug the phone to your PC and new hardware wizard has appeared. Install the drivers by pressing automaticaly search the drivers.

3. Now power off the phone, and open the Device Manager, in Ports section.

4. With the Device Manager open, plug the phone this time powered off.

5. At this time in Device Manager/ Ports section, appeared for a second or two not in USB area something with.. MTK65...

6. Double Click fast on it because that will desapear very fast :D. If you missed the click for the first time unplug and replug the phone after about 5 seconds.

7. After you clicked on it all you have to do is update driver from MTK_USB__Driver_GOOOOODDD.rar archive, and voila you have drivers installed and now all you have to do is to flash you ROM.

Hope this will help you.

Tell me iff something goes wrong.

Good luck.

help

1) Hi, thanks for the troubleshooting steps but for the 3rd and 4th step, the phone is always in a switched off mode only. It simply doesn't get turn on in any mode.

2) I am using Windows 8.1 OS and Lenovo Usb Driver1.0.10 and VCOM drivers are already installed in it after turning off the digital signature check in win 8x OS and now nothing is happening after clicking on install option of LenovoUsbDriver_autorun_1.0.10.exe Is it a problem or in other OS also it wont prompt to click next or something like in a regular driver installation.

3) Phone is not getting detected in device manager after connecting it, so cant update drivers

Please suggest me what to do next.
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Ok. Try this:

1. Open the back case of your phone.

1.1 Open the device manager on your PC.

2. You will find there an small red button.

3. Now plug your phone to your PC.

4. After you plugged the phone press the red button for 20 secconds.not optional :D

5. Release the button and see what is going on in your device manager.

6. Iff your preloader is messed up something should going on.

7. Should appear something like new hardware detected, that is the point when you update the drivers, and your phone will be detected by your PC

8. Try this and tell me if something goes wrong.

Good luck.

TWRP magic

Hi thanks a lot stympy. I am glad that you were spending the time and effort to help me. I saw that red button trouble shooting post in your TWRP thread and luckily for me after clicking on different options in device manager while setting a complete format in sp flashtool the device suddenly got detected and format was done. After the format the device has lost its imei number, BT code and Wlan codes. That was going to be a hectic job to reinstall imei with imei repairing tools and usage of Hexa editor for BT and wi-fi codes just because some drivers were not getting installed properly.. But to my sheer luck I had a "Data' back up in TWRP with my previous version prerooted rom . I was not that confident to get a restore of imei , BT and wlan codes because it is just a 'data' back up not full ROM. I ticked the md5 checksum and voila after installing the back up 'Data' everything , absolutely every single code in my p780 got reinstalled automatically .LONG LIVE TWRP DEVELOPERS......... May be even after formatting the complete flash drive of the phone it still keeps the imei and other codes in factory mode. I am not sure. Now phone is in perfect condition and I am ready for another go. Stympy please create a 2.7.1 twrp for 2014 preloader p780 8gb. thanks again for all your help

WARRNING This are only for 8GB PHONES.

Here you are.

Try to flash with scatter files one by one till works.

Use only SP Flash Tool 5.

After flashing TWRP do not reboot the phone, start the phone with Power button Vol + and Vol - pressed. NOT OPTIONAL

Be carrefoul to select Download not Firmware Upgrade.

Good Luck.

[Lenovo P780] jeerome88:
Hey Stympy, you seem to know quite a lot about this! I have the same problem with my p780 4GB. After flashing everything seemed ok, as I got a green circle in SPFlash tools. However now I am not able to boot anymore. When connecting my phone to my computer the red light goes on and Device Manager shows a new MTK USB Port. When pushing the red button it immediately disappears. Does not matter if I push it for 20 seconds, as soon as I let go its bak in device manager.

When trying to reflash using SPFlash, it seems to recognize my phone, but when trying to format or Upgrade or Download, the red bar only loads up to 141776 Bytes and stops. Sometimes I have to push the red button for the phone to get recognized.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

ps: CMIIT ID on the battery says 2013xxxxxxx so I guess its a 2013 model?
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Hi. Can you tell me what firmware did you have ?

From what you described your phone seems to be from 2014. This are the simptoms when the preloader is messed up.

Look what you should try:

Download from here the preloader: http://xdaforums.com/lenovo-p780/help/lenovo-p780-chineese-speed-version-t2874161

Replace your Curent ROM preloader with the one you downloaded.

Drivers from here: http://xdaforums.com/lenovo-p780/help/rooting-tutorial-kitkat-t2835605/post55587780#post55587780

Fool me. I've tried to run CN on russian LiFE ROW with TWRP. You can laugh very loud.

1. unbricked with P780_S136_140306_Lang

cleared IMEI

2. IMEI recovered with Droid Tools

after reboting no gsm signal

3. NVRAM recovered from backup

No success.

SIM cards works fine on other mobile, 911 cal also work on this phone

now running on:

ROM: P780_S226_Life_XVIBE_by_Xakep

Baseband: P780.V23

Last idea is clone p780 (colleague has one) with IMEI change, mac address and sn. Now with which tool it'll be easier?
[Lenovo P780] ungbar:

And I have done it again.

1. Full format

I think your phone must be made after 03.2014.

Look for new preloader made for the new phones.

Replace the original preloader with the new one and reflash.

Dear Stympy, I have the exact same problem like Jeerome88 described, but unfortunately your solution for him does not work for me. The whole day I have been trying to unbrick my phone, and my hair is starting to fall out from misery... I really hope you will be able and willing to give me some advice. Thanks very much in advance.

So, really I was in the same situation: was not happy with my new Lenovo P780 having bloatware and showing ads out of nowhere, and decided to change ROM. I found one that sounded good on this page: http://lenovop780ro.blogspot.ro/2013/12/rom-uri.html (I used google translate). All seemed to go fine, the green circle appeared, but my phone was dead. It responds to no key combinations. When I connect it now, it shows as "MTK USB Port (COM10)" in device manager. I tried many things, and nothing worked, except for the following, I downloaded what was supposed to be a complete "ROM for bricked phones" (4 GB version to match my phone) from http://www.needrom.com/download/lenovo-p780-mt6589-device-unbricked-for-8g-4g/ (you know it, you have commented asking what was meant with a dead phone). Then I did "Format all + Download". I tried this because both "Upgrade firmware" and "Download only" would give error messages.

So, it downloads the bootloader (purple bar), but then "Download Flash" remains on 0%, and fails with the error "BROM ERROR : S_FT_DOWNLOAD_FAIL (4008)". According to https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-439.html it means there was an error while attempting to flash files, but it's not clear what kind of error...

I really hope you can help me... Thanks!

UPDATE: after a lot more struggling, now I always get the error "BROM ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032) [EMI] Enable DRAM fail". I don't know what changed, or what to do about it. It's the same error I used to get before I tried "Format all + download".

I'm giving up for now. I feel like throwing the phone out the window... Tried different USB cables, different ports on the computer, different ROMs, different versions of Flash Tool, you name it...

Hi Stympy, you know what, I got it working... I tried now on an old XP laptop, installed the drivers, ran the Flash tool, replaced the preloader with yours, and it just worked without the slightest problem... I was very surprised, since you wrote it will only work properly in Windows 7, but for me it clearly doesn't work at all in Windows 7, but good old XP works great.

I haven't don it yet getting all the info I need before hand.

1) After I unlock the bootloader will I be able to flash the most recent update for 4.4.4 or will I just be able to unfreeze the OTA and still keep root?

2) If I loose root since I now have an unlocked bootloader I'm just a SuperSU flash away from root, right?

3) Since I'm still on 4.4.2 will I have any issues if I need to flash back to it?

Anything else I might have missed that is important either from mistakes or just general knowledge I missed would be appreciated. Thanks and Good Night everybody!
[Moto X Q&A] tcrews:
After you unlock the bootloader, treat your device like a developer edition. I would just flash the full 4.4.4 image files for your device to bring it up to the latest version without worry of it failing because of modifications you may have made to the system (root, etc..).

With an unlocked bootloader you can flash an alternate recovery like CWM or TWRP. These recoveries will allow you to flash SuperSU to gain root.

Just like every other Motorola device (developer or not), you can not flash backwards. If you move to 4.4.4 you can NOT go back to 4.4.2.
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Great explanation! :good:
[Moto X Q&A] Icon000:
Why do you recommend flashing 4.4.4 over accepting the OTA? I still want to be able to use the additions originally provided by Motorola. I didn't seen a rom built on Moto Stock. Did I miss it?
[Moto X Q&A] tcrews:
Flash the stock 4.4.4 ROM that is for your device.

What's better...4.4.2 with patches to make it 4.4.4 (via an OTA) or just the full 4.4.4 (via the full 4.4.4 install) without the need for patching to make it 4.4.4?

Oh well...it looks like there isn't a FULL 4.4.4 for AT&T Moto X released yet....just 4.4.2. Flash the full 4.4.2 then take the OTA update to 4.4.4 and then flash TWRP to get root.

AT&T 4.4.2

http://sbf.droid-developers.org/download.php?device=0&file=849

You can just flash the system.img from the download with mfastboot to revert any changes you did (root, etc..) so that the OTA can be installed successfully. You'll just want to get fully updated before flashing an alternative recovery like TWRP.
