Hi to everybody. I am new to this forum, asking a lot of questions about my new P780 phone.
I am italian, I am living in Latvia since a while, and yesterday I bought this phone (very nice) form another user, so the phone is used.
the phone has 1 gb memory, and the firmware installed is:
model: p780_row
android: 4.2.1
baseband version: P780.V17, 2013/05/21 04:13
build: P780_row_S110_130629
I reset the setting of the phone (from menu), and now I would like to do the following
- the software is telling me that there is an update, but after downloading it, it tells that zip is not correct, and I cannot install (the update to be downlaoded is --S112_130717)
- the languages available are a lot, but no italian language available: this is not an issue, but I'd prefer to have it in Italian language, if possible
- I cannot connect via wondershare mobilego software, to manage my phone from PC (at the beginning it was working - after I tried to upgrade, no way to connect any more)
- change the desktop: I was used to a galaxy S4 shell, is it possible to change it and have something similar?
- update android to 4.2.2: is it possible? I saw a lot of negatives reviews for 4.4.2 (kit kat), is it worth of?
- is it possible/necessary to root the phone? which can be the advantages?
thanks in advance and regards
Alex
PS: if you want to give me some links where I can find the materials, instead of replying, it will be much appreciate anyway. ciao
Care to have a look at the menu sir?

the problem is that flshtools is not owrking properly to me, I don't know why..
I have this version in the image; the phone is detecting an update, but it fails always. So I decided to install Flashtools on my 8.1 (I believe the drivers are working, becasue everything is ok), but as just as I start to try to upgrade, then it is telling to me that the rom ALREADY on the phone is not correct...
cannot understand what to do
thanks for any help!

shall I have to keep all settings of V5? DA/DL checksum? then load scatter file, press "firmware upgrade", wait, connect the phone, and go?
Yes.
edit....
Did you succeded ?
thanks to everybody , just a couple of additional issues
HI guys
after hours, yes thanks I succeded!
Flashtools v3 works fine, v5 does not work at alll.. cannot understand why
I installed the "latest" 228 firmware, rooted, with recovery, and everything works fine.. there are just a two issues by now which make me concern:
- there is a PMT error: the flashtools give me 28GB partition.. altough I formatted it, I re-loaded the firmware 228, and it's working fine, there is still this PMT error..
- I have latvian 3g sim on SIM1 (local sim), everything is fine; if I put 2nd SIM on sim2 (4g sim, italian one), the phone cannot get any signal from 2nd sim, so I cannot call nor receive telephone calls.. I suppose that it's the 900MHZ problem, bt I am not sure.. I put latest
Lenovo_P780_S228_ROW_PreRooted_TWRP.zip
but still no problem, and I cannot use the phone as dual sim.. Any ideas???
by now, with these two issues, I can still use the phone as a normal single sim phone, but I'd like to use it as a dual sim (this its the prupose when I bought it)
thanks

Hey, I know this is probably a frequent post here but...
I have a i9300 from CHN which, as you might have guessed already, has a CHN ROM. I saw a post about flashing a mix between a spanish and chinese rom to have the nordic features (I only need Google Play). I have tried it, it flashed properly, and then the phone got stuck on the boot screen, the samsung logo animation just kept appearing.
Please help me...I really want to get over this problem finally.
