Hi. Let me see... You have the Lenovo P780 SPEED edition. This means that your phone after 04.2014. You need to flash your phone with the new preloader.
Look on your phone box, on the back of the box and read there.
Sooo.. Now because of this wrong preloader, your PC cannot detect your phone.
Now to reflash your phone you do all the things to prepare flash, press flash button,connect the phone, and now come the tricky part:
- open the back case of your phone and press small red button for 20 secconds. Not optional. More yes, less no.
Try this and tell me what happent.

hi. my pc can detect my phone... i already install all the necessary drivers, the only problem is that i can only do download and format + download. Every time i choose firmware upgrade then click download on v5 of flash tool, the response is unrecognized rom. but in flash tool v3 error 4001 da download failed. regarding the phone box, i dont know where it is... its been a long time.. maybe they already trash it... is it possible for you to do team viewer? Can you also send me a link for the preloader?
Thanks

Hello, I have a big problem with the phone. It's no turning on after trying to flash.
I can see it as MTK USB Port (ComX), but there is no way to flash it again because of "enable dram failed (4032)" in FlashTool.
How to fix it?

Remove the back cover and connect your phone with the pc through data cable and kept pressing the red button for 10 secs which is near the sd card slot and release it. It will vibrate and lit up after 2-3 secs then remove the cable and start it.

Now, I am also having the same problem. I followed your instruction but persist the same error DRAM FAILED 4032 and also I dont have any nandroid backup. Whether it will be related to preloader issue ?
Hi pawelb93 and Manek88,

I'm having the same problem as well. I was using this tuto and all went fine because I got the big green circle of success from Flash tool. Then I unplugged my phone and it hasn't booted since. It was :crying: a 4GB international version with Jelly Bean 4.2.

Hii d8v8n8 have you tried pressing the red button by plugging to pc ??
If you have a 4032 dram problem you need to format whole drive using sp flash tool and install a fresh stock rom.

Hi Manek88,
Yup, I pressed and pressed the red button, once even for a full minute without a break but to no avail.
However and fortunately from another poster, stympy, I got the suggestion that it might be a driver problem. For the unfortunate user, please click on the embedded links for the steps it took me to get things sorted out.
I wish sincerely for the wary who landed here to be able to solve his or her issue with our trials and errors posted here. Thank you all.

Hi, I just wanted to leave a comment about how I unbricked my Chineese p780 4Gb. Maybe useful to somebody.
Flashed the wrong ROM, got the brick, the only sign of life was a red LED when connecting to USB. After the second flashing got the same DRAM_FAIL (4032) error. Finally, after finding the right ROM I got phone's screen blinking for a second, but still not loading and not functioning.
So, after some experiments I found out that fresh driver/tools versions do matter a lot and I managed to flash the same needed ROM with fresher tools.
Setup (can't post links, I downloaded these from lenovo-forums dot ru):
- driver SP_Flash_Tool_Driver_Auto_Installer_v1.1236.00
- SP_Flash_TOOLS v5.1352.01
- very nice light and functional ROM LiFe v0.7 with modified preloader
- alternative modem V51 S820
Good luck!

Because your phone is made after 03.2014 you must change your preloader.
Flash this new preloader from here.
Download the preloader.
Replace your normal preloader who came with your rom with this one on the link.
Reflash your rom again!
Good Luck!

You need to replace the preloader file and keep pressing "volume up" while it is flashing.

Because the flashing was stoped, your phone, more precise your preloader is messed up!
You must reflash by reinstalling the drivers. The whole process must be done again.
Look and read in Q&A Section. You will find some tutorials there!
You are not alone! There was some others who made this mistake!
Good Luck!

Hello everyone,
Before reading this, please be advised that I have read every topic related to this phone and tried everything (step by step) but I couldn't find any solution yet for the problem I have, so here it is:
Bought this phone one year ago and I'm very pleased about his performance. Yet, some months ago i might flash a ROW ROM version - I didn't had any clue what I'm doing - and the problems started...
Since one month, I'm flashing my phone every day trying to get it work but without success phone is Lenovo P780 CMIIT ID : 2013CP5888 - I assume it is made in 2013 and the details on the back are written in chinese.
The problem : all apps crash after installing stock rom (china version) and once the phone is off it won't boot (after repeatedly pressing the red button sometimes it starts). Every time after flashing it works for a few hours then it stops (freezes/restarts and keeps the logo picture untill I press the red button under the back cover)
My last flashing attempt (few hours ago):
Step 1. I have installed P780_S129_130710 ROM with SP flash tool
Step 2. I have installed LiFe_v07 4GB CHINESE ROM with SP flash tool
Phone is off now, I can't boot it since some hours and have left it to charge.
PS: i have all the drivers for flashing correctly installed
I'm very frustrated because i'm having the same every day and I can't seem to solve it yet. If someone would guide me through solving it I would be very happy :good::fingers-crossed:
Update:
Just flashed again the step 2 ROM, here is the SS of current ROM version

Hi @stympy,
I would like to take a moment to "Thank you !" " for all your efforts while sharing all these posts on Lenovo P780 forum.
Few days back, I faced an issue during rooting my P780 and phone went to "Charging light ON rest NOTHING" condition.
I referred numberous posts and solutions on this forum and then found a way of flashing stock ROM using SPFlashtool.
I was using Windows 10 on my laptop and SPFlashtool didn't worked well (tried v3 & v5).
The reason being, due to "Driver signature verification" as it didn't allowed to load mediatek driver.
Once I disabled it, the flashing tool work flawlessly and I was able to bring the phone back to life.
I spent around 2 days troubleshooting this issue. While searching solutions for this issue, I came across your MANY posts which were very helpful.
So, I would like to THANK YOU from bottom of my heart for being so much active while helping others on this platform.
Keep up the great work !! Have a great time ahead. !

Hi. Go to development section.
There you will find stock firmware for your phone 8 or 4 gb. Download the one you need.
After download go to q&a section on rooting tutorial for kitkat and download spflah tools 3 an 5. Those are the tools recommended for this phone. Those are modified tools for Lenovo P780. Download. Be careful to check if your NVRAM is intact. Settings/about phone. Look in IMEI area and see if your IMEI is there.
If not this is another problem to solve.
If your IMEI is lost look for my post tools for recovery IMEI.
Good luck.

No. You did not brick your phone.
You must reinstall the drivers.
Before reinstalling drivers try this: when you flash the phone you must press red small button located on the back of the phone under the back case, metal back case. Start spflash tool, load scatter file, select firmware upgrade, press download and now press the small red button for 20 seconds. Tell me what is going on.

No. You did not brick your phone.
You must reinstall the drivers.

Try this:
1. Open device manager
2. Leave the window open
3. Power down the phone
4. Plug the phone to your USB cable
5. Look now on device manager window on ports section
6. In ports section will appear something like MTK 6.5.x.x preloader or MTK 6.5.9.2 com port x, where x is a port number.
7. This thing will appear for max 2 seconds, then will disappear.
8. Tell me what you have there so i know what you have to do.

Did above all steps...
Got a message saying all drivers are upto date
Then Opened SPFT v5
Loaded the scatter file
pressed download
Also connected the USB at same time
Now it gives error saying(" BROM Undetected rom ")
Update :
Hi the phone started
All i did was just change to download in SPFT v5 & it worked voila...
The IMEI number is still intact, It does show in settings of the phone..
The only problem i have now is i dont have a WLAN MAC address ,Bluetooth address & IP address in the status in settings
Update:
The phone now as i have tested so far does not have any range for the mobile network
Phone memory & sd card is though showing properly.
What course of action to be taken forward. Kindly advice.
Hello. I have flashed my Lenovo Vibe K5, former build A6020a40_S004 to A6020a40_105, hoping for that VoLTE update. Following the proper steps and downloading the Stock ROM Firmware from trusted supplier, my phone won't boot into anything: recovery, or normal. Though the LED lights up when connected to a computer. However, it doesn't appear on my computer or hear that USB chime. I'm using a Windows 10 (which I've seen many have issues with Windows 10 and drivers) running on Bootcamp 6. I appreciate it if you guys could help me. Thank you very much.
By the way, I have no custom recovery installed. Just the basic Android System Recovery <3e> and I'm not that familiar with Android systems.

Well sorry to hear about that but I know very well how to recover from such situation. You'll need to flash the recovery IMG again so that it boots into recovery mode

Thanks! Can you tell me how? I've been researching about this as well for a long time now. Any help is appreciated.
Yes my bud. I will provide you the link shortly to some SDK tools so that you can flash your recovery IMG again and et access to recovery mode. I know that situation is chaotic and sucks but I am assuming that you aren't able to access twrp or anything.when you turn the phone on it gets stuck at lenovo and after few minutes it gets restarted on its own. And on connection g it to computer, it just doesn't get connected and nothing appears to be connected. I want you to take the battery out and place it again after few minutes and press the "vol down" button and "power button at the same time. You'll see the same lenovo icon but there will be something written in Chinese or something like that. Now connect your phone to your computer and I advise you to use a very good quality data sharing cable or original lenovo cable. Now your computer will recognise your phone as a hard drive or a storage device.i I'll try to upload a video on that too. Till then try these steps and lemme know if they work and your computer recognises your dead phone.if it does then there is still a hope left. BTW I was stuck in the same situation twice but thank god I saved myself and I am using my device. Note:- this method doesn't uses any software like " QFIL" or "QCOM" loader to flash stock firmware. Hope it works

Thanks a lot, man. Where the hell have you been all my life? Lol.
So my phone doesn't boot. It doesn't even show the Lenovo logo on it. Just mere darkness. :'(
I am going to Hong Kong later this week (this is where I bought the phone) and I don't know, maybe have someone fix it.
PS. Can you please DM me the links or if it isn't a loss for you you may just reply it here.
Thanks in advance and more power. The world needs more people like you.
Sincerely,
Justin

Hey man. Justin here, again.
You may reach me through "[email protected]".
It doesn't show anything. Though, the LED light illuminates when connected to a power source or laptop. I'm starting to think it's absolutely hopeless. But please do message me anyway.
Fondly,
Justin
I think you have hard bricked your phone but still let's try
