driver problems
cmeeet I feel your pain, same thing happened to me, not the same error messages, but I bricked my Streak when I tried an OTA update.
your problem is definitely driver related. you have to uninstall any and anything that has to do with android or the streak from your machine, preferably do a disk cleanup and that will rid your system of any temp or cached files.
you can use a simple tool called Ccleaner on your computer to clean up your registry practically worry free.
Then you go through the steps from this link:
http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=92
follow the guide to a tee and you'll be up and going in about 30 minutes from beginning to end
but I can almost assure you, you have a driver problem

thx for you advise cdzo72.. i will try with this instruction

[q] using qdl tool

Hey whats up guys everything has been going well using qdl tool . Up until the driver installation
It keeps Saying
Windows found software for your device but encountered a error while attempting to install it and under it . just wanted to know if anyone is having this problem .
Qualcomm Hs- Usb Modem 9002
Running windows7 64 bit . I also followed the 64 bit guide and everything so im not sure why i get this message
I didn't have any problems with it. I followed the 64 bit guide to a T, then I installed the dell drivers before I used the QDL tool. I tried it before I installed the Dell Drivers and all I got was errors. After install of the drivers it went off without a hitch.
Dell Streak 2.2 w/DJ Steve 1.5.3
Moving to Q&A Section
Give this a try.
If you followed the instructions on streakdroid, and still having an issue try this:
Open the CMD window as administrator (shift+ctrl+enter)
then enter: bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS (NOTICE there are 2 "D's" this is not an error, and is what is required for Windows 7)
after successful completion enter: bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON (not case sensitive)
after successful completion close the window, and reboot. This should clarify your issue with the driver problem. Windows 7 sometimes has an attitude, this worked for me If not, please let me know.

One more thing, make sure the driver you select reads: Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostic 9002 There is also a non diagnostic version that will cause errors as well.
Srry about that still tring to figure this forum stuff out, please excuse my noobish behvaior

just to verify: are you removing the battery from your device, waiting one min, opening up QDL Tool, pres and hold the volume up button and plugging in your device in. Then it should find your device.
If thats what you are doing then I dont know what else to tell you well.... other than good luck!
You were right i didnt pay attention to actually selection Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostic 9002. i firsty selected Just 9002. By the way the froyo i have is pre release right ? So its my best interest to update with dell right?

It is the pre-release version yes. In terms of which version you choose is up to you. If you are looking for mo user customization then I would suggest Steves ROM's but if your looking for a simple froyo device the Dell 318 ROM works great as far as i can tell. Ive been using the Dell ROM for about three days now and have ad no issues to report. You just have to decide what suits you best.

Trouble with voice comands and blue tooth
I used the QDL and upgraded to 2.2 AT&T and I can't get my voice commands to work. What happened to nuance? after I try my voice commands it also locks up and I have to reboot. Should I try to reinstall my drivers and 2.2? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hey i just wanted to know if you know the command to enable driver verification aagin ?
Totally rediculous question here but what the hell is the qdl tool and where is it? I find all kinds of stuff on how to use it but nothing on what or where it is... thanx.
I am now a proud owner of an AT&T Streak w/2.2. OH Happy Day!!!
Once I got the proper drivers installed it was quite seemless and easy to do. the video like tutorial was well laid out. and very simple to follow. I sure hope those Geico Cavemen aren't on this forum 'cause it was so easy one of them could do it!!!

Try to follow this video exactly the same as he did. One step at a time. Should fix your issue.if your phone is running the latest 0 t a from verizon you will have to flash an older version first

[Q] Operation:Unbrick

Basically what happened was I deleted the .odex files in /system/app since I followed a "tutorial" that told me to.The reason I followed that tutorial was because I could no longer install apps and got an "Insufficient storage available" error when I should not have.My phone started to lag so I rebooted and I got stuck at the boot logo.I looked around and decided flashing a new rom would be the only way.I tried to flash v20H on my P769 (with the help of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085344) and the result was a failure at 15% at the analysis stage every time I tried.
I looked around a bit more and saw that I needed to flash ics xloader and uboot.I'm not very tech-savvy so I might have messed this part up,but I followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2119090.I'm not quite sure as to whether or not I just got the fastboot drivers or the things I mentioned earlier,so if I didn't flash those things I'd like a link or an explanation as to how I'm supposed to.Anyway,I tried to flash v20H again and at first things were looking good,but it continued to fail every time I tried due to random disconnects caused by my phone not staying in S/W mode or something(is the screen supposed to go off after a certain amount of time?)What am I supposed to do here?I was running v10g before my phone bricked,so was I supposed to flash ICS again?

I'm guessing not, but do you have a nandroid backup and can you boot to recovery to restore it?
To flash the ICS xloader and uboot try the lelus fastboot
method here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292828
You need to run the script twice and select option 1 each time to install 2 drivers, LG P2 and Omap4430 for the PC.
Follow the driver installation directions in the link with in lelus's post to install the drivers.... There is also a process where you have to pull the battery and connect the device to the PC, then run the script and reinstall the battery quickly within like 4 seconds and have windows device manager open at the same time and quickly right click on the LG P2/Omap4430 and update the driver.
Once you have the drivers installed then run the lelus script again and select the options to flash the xloader and uboot. The device should stay connect to the PC now during S/W mode.
Alternatively you could try and use sammyz method to restore your device with the LGFlash Tool - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2748384

Thanks,I'll try it when I get back home and see how it goes.Oh,and after posting I flashed the ICS xloader and uboot and the result didn't change,sadly enough.I actually gave some misinformation,looking at my phone now.Apparently(according to the paper on the battery slot) my phone wasn't a P769 but an MS769.I guess I should rant at the guy who sold me it,but no matter.Does this mean I have to flash a MetroPCS rom?The last time I flashed something on the phone was for a P769,so I'm not really sure.I guess time will tell whether the sammyz method will solve my problem or not.

Yeah S/W mode can be a pain with it disconnecting and stopping at a certain %.
The sammyz method will work on both the P769 and the MS769. Just download the MS769 10F firmware from the link in sammyz guide to use for your L9.

Lenovo P780 -MT6589 device hard bricked - Need help

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.

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.

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 . 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.

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.

3. Now plug your phone to your PC.
4. After you plugged the phone press the red button for 20 secconds.not optional
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.

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.
Thank you stympy master

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?

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://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/lenovo-p780-chineese-speed-version-t2874161
Replace your Curent ROM preloader with the one you downloaded.
Drivers from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/len...ial-kitkat-t2835605/post55587780#post55587780
Try this one and tell me if somethin goes wrong.
Waiting for Reply.

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.

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?
success

[Q] Lenovo P780 bricked

Hi there,
I need help on my Lenovo P780. I flashed it with P780_ROW_S124_140403_rooted_twrp_gapps ROM, procedure seemed to be ok but, after the green circle, I cannot switch on my smartphone anymore. Power+volumedown doesn't work and power+volumeup+volumedown as well. Now it's not recognized on my win7 pc! I tried to "uninstall" from device manager on my OS and then use the drivers contained in the .rar file "MTK_USB__Driver_GOOOOODDD" suggested some threads ago... but nothing happens, it's still an "unknown device" for Windows.
The only signal of life is the red light when the smartphone is connected to my laptop.
Please help me to solve this brick, I really do not know how to proceed.
Thanks in advance,

Hi stympy and thank you for your kind reply.
Actually I can't flash my phone because my SP Flash Tool doesn't move from 0% in its process.
Shall I try to format it?
Could you please help me explaining the process step by step?
Thanks in advance

Hi stympy,
I'm using SP Flash Tool V3.1304.0.sn119 (build: 2013/01/28 11:26 r1073)
About the drivers... I'm using "MTK USB driver" folder that you shared in a thread some time ago... where can I get the version? Here you can find in attachment a png screenshot, as you can see date modify of the files in the package. Unfortunately I can't get info from my Windows device manager because of the actual "unknown device" recognition of my P780
just in case, ok for the teamviewer session, thank you for your availability!

Hi there,
it seems that now the device is recognized by Win7 because it finished its driver installation.
In the device manager now I see a "MediaTek DA USB VCOM (Android) (COM11)"; anyway, I downloaded the latest version of SPFTools (v5.1352.01) but both of the instances stops at "searching" time and 0% of the flashing process.
Could please someone advise?
Thank you!
Try to make sure the device is fully turned off. try to press the red button beside the battery. And then reconnect the cable while it is in the mode "Searching".. if it does not connect .. try unplugging and replugging it again.

After pressing the red button it got it up, thank you handshake1234. But flashing process stops later with the same error of the last ROM I tried to flash yesterday (attached).
Is that meaning I used another time a uncompatible ROM?
(Yesterday) S124_140403_rooted_twrp_gapps
(Today) P780_ROW_S123_131231_rooted_twrp_gapps
both for ROW.
Can anyone say something about the attached png error?
Thanks!

I have the same problem. Sh1ts started when I try to make backups. First, Mobileuncle said: no sd card?' No sdcard0,nosdcard1. So I didn't make backup on my IMEI's. But that is is my little problem. Generally, I saw that there were 2 versions: 4gb Chinese and 8gb row. So i opened explorer and saw 8gb storage. I thoght that I'm row. But I coudn't see version of my rom. Whatever, I decided to flash Russian version VIBE 2.0 lite etc. with replaced files for 8gb. Instled drivers and flashtool. It always gave me same error: DRAM FAIL 4032. Then, I tried to flash cust. recovery for the model. After flashing recovery it wen into a brick or bootloop. Now the screen wan't turn on. I read your guidens above, but when I try to flash stock rom it says: dram fail 4032, cant change preloader with yours couse mdchecksum doesn 't get right. When i try to flash to flash Russian VIBE with your pleloader it says not enogh space 1011. I think the drivers work properly, because spft recognizes the device and see it on com8 etc...
I am really upset... please anwer. Thank you for being there for us.

Hi.
Go there and download your firmware !
Flash it !
For custom recovery go there and download ROW ONLY recovery(openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0rev2-p780row.zip)!
Creeate one folder, unzip the recovery img and Copy the scatter file from your firmware in that folder.
Here is one "small" tutorial for rooting!
If its not working PM me !
