[Q] Samsung i780, Orange UK - what am I doing wrong

[720510]

Hi all
Relative newbie to this, but appreciate any help.
My scenario:
1. New Samsung i780 from Orange UK
2. New SIM, activated (checked it worked on older phone)
3. Mirage LV v1.8
4. i780_DXH4_Rev12

I select eBoot + PDA + Phone

Samsung USB Modem Drivers installed.
Windows XP
ActiveSync open but connections disabled. (Is this correct?)

All goes well till I get to "phone". See the log below. Effectively, it cannot create the COM port.

What I end up with is an incomplete download, but if I start the phone up it all works ok except the "phone" bit, I get "invalid SIM status".

Yes, I've done a hard reset / format on the phone before the above.

I have searched all the threads and tried the buttons mentioned but for the life of me I cant get my Orange i780 to enter this mode... any thoughts? PLEASE!! :(

I post here even it is to late because I had a problem of a spanish i780 that did not respond to key combintions of hard reset and boot mode. the only way to HR is by using code *2767*...... I forget it lol. But, when I installed an Arabic MUI cab on it the phone can't start so I have no way to Hard reset now since I can't access to dialer no more. and I can't flash by mirage since I can't use fn+Enter on this wm6 orange tweaked rom phone.

The only Solution for me was to download this rom ziddu.com/download/8450774/i780PDXIB1_Upgrader_VISTA.rar and I used wincotroll program from 4shared and samsung xp driver (using windows 7) then I tweaked the rom installer by draging a loop icone from wincontroll (software tweak tab) to the bottom of rom installer and clicked show then an emergency box appeared ... I checked this box (no need to check charger battery or phone connected boxs) and reset the phone or rebooted it. >>>>>>>>>>>> the phone started flashing and horaaaaay I have wm6.1 now and both key combination are working now.

I was able to flash the phone again and again testing for the best rom now I have 6.5 rom that works very very fine for me

NB: I searched the inside and outside of the Web with no results so I applied this tweak as I do to my omnia i900 when facing (incorrect software essage)


I am sure this can help someone else who still have orange wm6 useless rom on his i780.
