I really appreciate both your replies...now I can use the OCR with confidence.

I will also read on the TWRP and nandroid backup too. I suppose nandroid backup is same with titanium backup. I can use either one smile.gif Tx again & have a good evening

Nandroid is ur savior when things goes bad during flashing and stuck at boot. Therefore, u may revert back to ur prev backup rom.

how to use sp flash tools
1. open sp flash tools
2. load the mmc file and the target bin file
3. press download
4. wait for the progress bar to turn purple, yellow, to red (something like that)
5. switch off your phone
6. connect phone to computer by usb
7. wait a whiile for computer to detect emmc
8. press start and wait for red circle to turn green .. you're done smile.gif

Since I've made my P780 into coma, I now using A3000 (damn big as a phone tho).
Anybody want to buy coma (not bricked yet) P780 can roger me.. Ha.ha..

Actually looking for someone who really knows how to resuscitate mtk phone like mine. I'll pay for ur expertise provided my P780 gets out of coma. I think it can be done via certain reset at factory mode loader which I cannot read in Chinese.
How to adb push might be another way around. If anyone here got what it takes, pls do pm me. I come to u seek ur help. notworthy.gif

Hey.. A3000 is on 4.2.2 stock. I got surprised. Silky smooth operation way better than tab 3! Just sharing...

Btw, 8GB 780 arrive yet?

Kemek,
Ady done as xMika suggested but it still can't pass lenovo screen. Tried many times reinstall driver and it did install but phone still refuse to connect to PC. Btw, how could I not have the driver in pc since I root using same pc? I even tried using diff cables just to be sure its not the culprit. I also familiar using Flashtool.

What puzzle me pc & phone now don't wanna talk to one another. Wondering if these 2 got big fight of something.. laugh.gif

Someone just suggested me try something that didnt cross my mind b4 this. hmm... will try do later 2nite. Will update...

I see. I've tried with Light Manager just now and it's the same, not blinking at all.hmm.. I am wondering is't smtg wrong with the phone now before I start rooting.

Btw, I've saw ppl saying just root with the One Click Root (which i'm about to do later) and press the Red Button at the back case there. But that red button is just like restarting your phone in case the phone hang, so how we actually reset back to the original ROM? I'm still looking way to backup the Ori Rom before I do rooting, any idea?smile.gif
I'm just curious, so we shall root flash with TWRP recovery then only able to do ROM backup right? Then only do the One Click Root and Repartition, correct?smile.gif
*
One Click Root > Flash TWRP via Mobileuncle > Do backup via TWRP > RePart
Follow guide by ZeroHunter (OneClickRoot) and Garytanyh (RePart). They posted these guide on early page 10-15 of this thread.
TWRP search for Life v05 (can't remember but sure u find asking pakcik Google..)

Just an advice.. Don't simply flash any ROM w/o 1st reading thoroughly. Take time knowing what I'll be flashing. Rush² and u might end up like me.. Ha.ha. laugh.gif

Ok i found out the problem. It is because I have bluestack installed, I suspected this because my rooting via mt6589_rooter was working and when I retry again, it does not work, and give me error "error: more than one device and emulator".
After googling, i found this and bluestack was the culprit : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639199

After exiting bluestack, the root is working again, so does SP Flash tool, now I am able to flash to S116 successfully.

Btw I am using PdaNetA4126 as my usb driver.

Oh ya, after flashing, for the first time powering on the phone, the booting will take quite a while , up to 5 mins, so be patient, it's not hanging(that was my scare) smile.gif

Hope the above helps, happy flashing.

OMG.. Thanks so much for pointing out this. I would not have figured this bluestack was the culprit.. ha.ha.
Kudos to wama1go for finding / sharing this info and not forgetting to all that have tried to help me. A very special thanks also to xMika and few others here. notworthy.gif

Now my beloved P780 is back in action.
Now still on S119 stock but rooting > repart is on its way. nod.gif

Thank you..thank you.. rclxm9.gif

U probably didnt install the usb drivers correctly. If this was the case, I provide solution on P780 V2 thread.

QUOTE(fairx @ Nov 16 2013, 07:43 PM)
ahaha this comment really made my day.

I'm in the market for new smartphone to use when travelling,  coming from 4000+mah battery so theres no going back.

Already held and test one of P780 when my friend came and ask me to root. really solid build. BTW I use Cydia Impactor to root and only took less than a minute to do the job! after that just get SuperSU or similar from PlayStore to get proper grant.
However I'm a bit concerned about future update (since 4.4 would be kickass), so anybody tried this phone with Miui rom for MT 6589?

I really hoping for Moto G but so so battery and no expansion is a gig NO NO since I want the endurance and to take many pic and video.

I like ur sig.. Maybe will create one just like urs. 1st was Moto 8800X........ S4>HO>A830>SN3>P780>A3000>P780. Sticking on 2sim & BIG batt phone. No turning back. thumbup.gif

Im sure 4.4 custom rom for P780 will soon available.

Dont panic. Not bricked.. Just bootloop. Many ady experienced this b4. U just need flash stock S116 rom and everything should be back to normal. Oh ye.. soon after flash S116 u will be offered upgrade to S119. Seek xMika guide & upload. V2 thread got it on page 1.

U didnt take time to read guide provided by xMika.
Also best if u download usb drivers from link I provide earlier in one of my post.

Now, dun worry ur phone not booting.. put it aside. Turn it OFF and do not connect to PC.
Now open Flashtool and do as instructed in guide.. like set download agent & Scatter.txt file.
Only after click Download, u connect phone to PC. Immediately after that, open device manager. Right click MT65xx PreLoader and update drivers. From there just follow instruction.

The stock 4GB ROM can be flashed to 8GB model but the storage capacity will be used "wrongly", ie. the free internal storage is only 700MB instead of 2.40GB.

So, conclusion is stock 4GB is not compatible with 8GB model. There is official stock 8GB ROM out there running at version S119.

Bro, thanks for this valuable info.
And also thanks for sharing link to 8gigs stock rom. I might need it soon. Now still contented with my 4gigs P780 - repart & v6SuperCharged. rclxm9.gif

--------------------------------

Guys, just found this jolly gud app...System Tuner & Android Tuner @ playstore.
Free but very comprehensive Android system tuner.
Go check it out...

Very comprehensive system tuner apps. Overwhelm with tweaks.
I currently still exploring Android Tuner. What this app can do is really beyond what I know. 99% more to learn... blush.gif Oh, well.. learning never ends.

I highly recommend u guys try this either 2 apps.
I believe with some knowledge, tweaks avail can match V6SuperCharger.

Hope Sifus here can share tweaks using this apps. As I said, its beyond me.
