I have a ZV-10 here that came in with water damage. In fact it was just a splash and the main PCB cleaned up like new.

Now when you turn it on its gives the Samsung ZV-10 startup logo (and you get all excited thinking you have fixed the thing) but then it just blanks and displays the startup logo and this goes on for ever!

I'm not sure if I'm looking for a software problem now? Anyone had hands on with these as this is the first I've seen here?
 
I'll answer my own question here as I've cured the problem!

It needed a full flash using ZV10 Multiloader V1.01 and you get into Flash mode (or Download mode as Samsung call it) by holding the 9 key and then pressing the ON button. This give a blank greenish screen and says Download on the front LCD.

Be aware that flashing defaults the IMEI to 000000000000000 and if you try *#06# you just get IMEI Not Active.

OK don't panic!

You now need to connect a serial cable to the handset (I actually used JAF COM Emulator and a LG cable) and with the handset switched on type *#123580# now select option 9, then option 6 and then option 2. Which switches the handset into Qualcomm mode. Using NSDongle select Z100 and reset the IMEI. The Z100 works as there is no ZV10 option.

Once you have corrected the IMEI to the original you need to type *#123580# and select option 9, then option 6 and then option 1. This sets the handset back into normal USB mode.

I hope this saves someone else days of research!
 
Just a follow up to complete the process, I noticed that the Bluetooth address is also missing! This is easy to fix and needs no tools:

With or without a SIM card inserted:

1. Type *#123580#
2. Press the Down Key Twice (x2)
3. Select 3 (BD ADDRESS)
4. Now Select 2 (WRITE BD ADDRESS)

Now you can enter a BT address in two blocks of six (6) digits.

For Example

001850 - Press OK

and now type

908711 - PRESS OK


Thats it! Now turn the phone OFF and then ON again - Bluetooth works!
