Is my i780 TOTALLY dead?

[ofird]

After applying a 6.5 ROM and trying to revert back (with SPB Backup file) to 6.1 the phone went dead

I mean totally black with no lights - nothing, cannot be turned on.

I recharged the battery, tried all sync cables ... but without success


Is it garbage time? or...can be saved somehow?

You can't revert back to wm6.1 using a backup. You need to flash a wm6.1 rom.

I cannot turn the device on, therefore cannot flash it

Oh. Maybe there's an emergency mode for your device. Is it an i780? I' ve never heard about u780 so i think you pressed the wrong button.

oh...thanks, I edited the title

Emergnecy mode for Hard reset, etc? This is not relevant since no power is even shown on the device

when I press the "power" button the led doesn't light

Hardreset-->Turn on the phone keeping pressed green and red button (it should work)
If hardreset doesn't work reflash but instead of normally turning the phone on, turn on the phone keeping pressed enter and fn (black and white) buttons

sorry m8....i had a similar issue. my i780 went dead...and i had to turn it back to the service center. they told my mother board had fried....and i had to wait a week for a replacement. the support guys wont know you've flashed a new rom...just stay quiet and u'll get another mobo.

what is it that you last did? here are the possible things which triggered this for ME -
1. i'd left my i780 in the sun for 4-5 hrs (in my car dash)...and it was burning hot....so this might have fried something....but it worked fine till that evening before it bricked
2. the same day (after i'd left it in the car)....by evening, i turned my wifi on and left it that way for 4 hrs or so....so over abuse of wifi might have bricked mine?
3. i'd flashed wm6.5, then heroes 6.1 rom.....so was it the flashing around?
4. maybe just samsung has some hw issues with the i780...

bad luck dude!

I don;t think the MB fried...I did #3

I just cant believe that it totaly bricked it, I mean I would have assumed that I can evie it from any stage - but this is like I am holdnig a brick and no more

Someone suggested to open up the back cover and clean the battery terminal - will try this as well

Service Center is not an option - I bought it in Thailand

i took it over to service....at service, the representative opens it up right in front of you and checks if its a minor fixable problem - then and there. So the service rep tried all possible stuff and couldnt manage to get it working. So, eventually they had to send it to higher level service, which took another 4-5 days...and finally they reported a dead mobo which was then replaced under standard warranty.

this sucks dude....i think you're having the same problem with your device that i had. You need to try your luck with service and hope that they give you a free replacement...i think they have worldwide warranty, you could tell them you lost your bill/blah...best bet if you ask me. Or paid service i'm guessing...

sorry m8....this is starting to worry me on the quality of samsung's hw....hmm (never had a single problem like this on any of my htc devices)
