Mediatek MT65xx Successfully Unbricked - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys:
After 1 day tries Mediatek MT6575 GT-S7562 was unbricked with no test point. after it was dead because of wrong ROM flashing.
Steps:
1- clean your drivers and install VCOM driver according to this video tutorial:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKYH7gkvrvY
Big thanks to : ITXtutor
2- Big thanks to : yuweng for the nice quote
with the the WARNING & you still do it...
Inspired by fellow xda member to start this thread to help out other xda member that run in to similar problem so here are the solution but it might not work for all MT65xx...
If you have already brick it by flashing wrong PRELOADER then you still have a 50/ 50 chance to revive it so keep you fingers-crossed...
For MT6573
Requirement : Your MT6573 factory ROM, SP Flash Tool
MT6573 Meta Driver - If you don't have, download it from here
First you will need to open Device Manager, switch off your phone, press & hold Menu button but don't let go, now plug-in your usb cable will activate META mode(Thanks to Master Shifu Cybermaus for his insight knowledge)...You'll notice Mediatek USB VCOM will appear at Device Manager -> Ports
Mediatek USB VCOM will stay connected until you download factory ROM then it will auto disconnect, reconnect as PRELOADER USB VCOM & continue downloading...
After factory ROM download completed, it will be auto disconnected & you'll have your phone raise from the dead !
This hidden feature will enable you to download factory ROM when you brick it by flashing wrong PRELOADER meant for other phone however for some MT6573 there is no way to access META mode except by dismantling the whole phone...
If you can't find your model factory ROM, try to hunt for similar ROM. I have had feedback from fellow xda member it actually works ! Luckily, most MT65xx ROM are very similar to each other. Try to look for similarity at build.prop -> ro.build.product for eg, typical build are bird73_gb , e1109_v73_jy1, huaqin73_gb, tinnoes73_s8030_2g, mt73_w831_a9100_yingt & etc... google search is your friend...
For MT6575/ 77
With the battery out, hold the volume up, don't let go & plug in the USB cable will activate META mode for few seconds...Typically, you need to click Download at SP Flash Tool before entering META mode or it will auto disconnected...
If all doesn't work & you don't have a local service center for your MT65xx then may be you would want to try rua1's method but its not for the ordinary user... Use google chrome for translation...
Attach is few photos that i've downloaded from that forum as it can only be viewed by members at that forum....

Added on Nov 23, 2012 - MT65xx is truly UNBRICKABLE
it seems that MT65xx is really 'unbrickable' thanks to whitetigerdk who inform me with his how-tos
So you can raise your DEAD MT65xx back to life...
The trick is quite simple, for whitetigerdk case, he flash his GooPhone Y5 with Zopo100 factory ROM & the phone went DEAD...
He proceed to reinstall preloader driver from Zopo & was able to use FlashTool again and flash back his factory GooPhone ROM & thats how he brought back his MT6575 back to life...
Updates
i've pm'ed whitetigerdk & got a reply from him confirming that indeed his GooPhone Y5 has this META mode built-in (plug in USB while holding VOL +)
Device Manager will detect new device... Having said that, not all MT65xx device has this feature...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Added on Dec 20, 2012 - DO NOT USE MEMORY TEST AT SPFT !
There has been confirmed cases that fellow xda member brick their MT6575/ 77 by using the MEMORY TEST function at SP Flash Tool !
When you put a check mark at NAND Flash Test or EMMC Test what it does is that it actually FORMAT it & this will brick your device !
For those who are having problem such as 3013 S_DA_SOC_CHECK_FAIL or 8038 SP FLASH TOOL ERROR for MT6575/ 77 even with testpoint, you will need SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1224.0.sn85
I have upload it to here for ease to fellow xda member, Credits to Master Shifu rua1...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Added on Jan 06, 2013 - DO NOT JUST FLASH ANY ROM WHEN YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE !
Well known brands like Lenovo, Zopo, ZTE & etc do provide FACTORY ROM at their webpage for download...
However, for those lesser known brand, its hard to say so you will have to hunt for it & do as the title says...
Credits to XDA Senior Member cybermaus, he has put up a simple guide on How to search for replacement rom...

Its sad to see users are taking advantage of all these free infos & tool developed by Master Shifu... Recent check with Master Shifu & he told me he only get 3 donations from xda Come on people...
Please understand the significant amount of time and effort required to understand how the MTK devices works, then developing a software, a new function, bug fixes, add new features, testing it & etc before releasing it as a free tool...
Master Shifu never demanded any payment for using his software & inline with the xda spirit to Gives Credit Where Credit is Due you should start hitting the DONATE button now...
As i have mention in this thread before, when you have unbrick your MTK devices using these infos & tool by Master Shifu, it means you don't have to fork out another USD 200+ to get a new devices...
So how about spending Master Shifu breakfast, lunch or dinner that you have manage to save $$$
Pls pls consider making a donation to the Master Shifu rua1 to support him to continue development of this free great tool...
Free software/ tool on xda = you download it, use it & it help you = Hit that DONATE button

3- According to yuweng thread .. use just this SP flash tool:
http://www.4shared.com/get/wz6lmzBJ/SP_Flash_Tool_v312240sn85.html
4- Use the correct Preloader from your original ROM or factory ROM>> open your scatter with this tool and just tick the preloader.
5- while your battery not inserted >> if did not work then insert battery and try again >> while USB cable not plugged in computer >>hit the download button >
6- While continue pressing on volume up key >> plug USB cable into PC and stay pressing on volume up button >> the preloader will be flashed back to phone.
maybe not from the first time...
7- unplug USB cable and remove battery . then with select all files in ROM >> and hit download button >> plug USB cable and insert battery >>
8- flash will start and your phone will be unbricked.

My english is bad.
I have Smartphone Android 4.04 GOSCO GS310.

The problem is...i cannot flashback all of that files, even i try to flash only preloader and dsp_bl. the message from flashtool sometimes looks similiar but sometimes different, help me guys...please...:crying:
some message : s_da_dram_not_support (3004) / S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032)
I think my file that come from "read by flashtool" error... or i have doing something wrong when i fill the read start address by the hex file or anything wrong... i have been confused about almost 2 months.
NOTE :
I already Format Whole Flash by Flashtool, it's done but problem still exist or maybe worst.
Maybe you can give me other alternatif to use other ROM or else.

There is no support for chinese devices anywhere.
The tutorials are made only for the original device.
Did you back up the stock rom in the first place?
This problem would have been solved if you had a backup of your stock rom.
Now you have no other go than to contact the manufacturer for getting the phone fixed.
Trying other roms will not help you in restoring.

you need to install proper driver in order for the PC to recognize the phone, ussualy the Preloader USB VCOM Driver does the job, sometime it takes much more effort, and ADB Drivers need to be installed...
- Proper way to install Preloader USB VCOM Driver -
Connect your phone to PC and wait for the New hardware Found wizzard to appear
Choose i will install the driver by myself, then navigate to the folder location were you have the .ini driver file...
- If the method above dont work, then connect your phone to PC, wait for the New hardware found to appear...
Then right click on My PC and go to the Device Manager
Here you should have a yellow Mark and a phone name or something like this
Right click and choose update driver
Now choose the folder where you have extract the .ini driver file ....
Restart your PC
Open SP FlashTools and be sure that u have the proper ROM for your Phone, otherwise you´ll face DRAM FAIL Error
try this ROM that the guy posted above...

Thanks, i tried your guide, but with that ROM finaly appear 100% in red color, probably because this phone have MTK6582 and not 6572.
If i use a rom for 6582 at the end of process i can see the DRAM FAIL error
I use this link from XDA for that ROMs:
androidxda.com/download-hdc-stock-rom-models
Any other advice ????
Thanks

The files are :
lk.bin
logo.bin
preloader_lcsh82_wet_jb5.bin

ok, it seems that the problems are not the driver, sience you manage to get the phone recognized by pc... the problem seems to be SP Flash Tool...
my advice would be : reinstall again the windows, install again the USB Preloader VCOM Driver ( the correct way ) and install latest version of SP Flash Tool....
Then try to install again one of the 3 ROM´s that i give you... maybe you have luck buddy, i dont know...
is the only way you could get back your phone.... as you know, these phones are clones and is very hard to find compatible ROM´s and replacements parts....
I was having the ghost touches on my SM-N900 Note 3 Clone and the only solution was to change the digitizer, but : i can´t change it, sience i dont find anywhere Note 3 Clone digitizer replacements... only solution was to put the phone in a box and dont use it... ((

I tried this tools : SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1352.01
and this : SP Flash Tool v3.1332.0.187
and the tools inside the ROM folder, but nothing. :crying:
Could you link me please the USB Preloader VCOM Driver ( for win7 64bit ), i guess the problem is that i used the bad one
Very thank you again for your help. :good:

Flash tool: SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1252.1.104
I took this part from link above to do for my phone
ROM with ALL the files needed to flash with SPFT
________________________________________
Instructions for put CWM v6.0.2.8 with SPFT (SP_Flash_Tool_exe_v3.1316.0.150.zip):
******** Remember: I am not responsible for your actions. ********
No need to ROOT! But you must have experience with SP Flash Tool (SPFT).
For more details to put "recovery.img" using SPFT you see Flashing only part of the ROM: [TUT]MTK Android (Sp flash tool ) tutorial
Basic instructions:
** All necessary files (scatter and recoveryCWM) are in CWM BLU Life Play L100i - by lopestom.zip. Also have all the drivers installed correctly.
1. In SPFT select only option "RECOVERY". Press in word "RECOVERY" and choose recoveryCWM [recovery.img] in folder [CWM BLU Life Play L100i - by lopestom];
2. With your device WITHOUT BATTERY - press in SPFT the option "DOWNLOAD" and select "yes";
3. Connect USB in your device WITHOUT BATTERY;
4. The process start;
5. You know this make sucess when appears a green circle.
Using SPFT to flash all files or whatever it is needed:
Conditions for using the file BLU Life Play - SPFT: The device must have ALL the specifications as BLU Life Play!
I make a prayer so that you do not need these files.
If you need flash files, make sure it will do. Generally you only need to "revive" your device using only the selection "ANDROID (system)".
*** I have left two files scatter.tx. The preferred is that without the file selection "preloader" [MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc NO PRELOADER.txt]. Thus, you will be safer not to get brick as Master rua1 indicated here.
Quote:
Never needlessly Download preloader and DSP_BL blocks! It is always dangerous! On some models of phones (for example Alcatel) you will have a brick even if you download these blocks read from phone which you own! Always remove from them marks in SPFT!
**** However, if you very really need, much more needed, then you should use the other scatter.txt [MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc WITH PRELOADER.txt] that I put with on the folder.
Create a folder with name BLU Life Play - SPFT in your PC and copy all files zipped. After extract this you see:
Code:
boot.img
cache.img
EBR1
EBR2
LK
logo.bin
MBR
MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc NO PRELOADER.txt
MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc WITH PRELOADER.txt
preloader.bin
recovery.img
system.img
userdata.img
Download required files for SPFT: ----------------------->>>>>>>>> password: BLP
Part 1 (143MB) -- BLU Life Play - SPFT.part1.rar ---- Part 2 (143MB) -- BLU Life Play - SPFT.part2.rar ---- Part 3 (45MB) -- BLU Life Play - SPFT.part3.rar
So at this point you should not thank me. Make a thank you to all the real developers who make the correct software to save our device and also those who build ROMs, applications and software to create CWM.
Make a donation ($) for them. I already made my donation.
Thanks and credits for this to happen: Master Russian Shifu Michfood, Master Shifu rua1, Master Shifu bgcngm, Master yuweng and falcaobr.

[Q] P780 bricked after flashing (wrong) ROM - doesn't boot

[SOLVED] Read careful through the thread, and if you have the same problem, check the messages on the second page for a solution
Hi all,
Recently got a Lenovo P780 4gb, Chinese version.
It came with VIBE UI 1.0, installed by the vendor.
Now, I wanted to have a different ROM without the Chinese characters here and there, and reading through the forums, I decided to flash a stock ROW version, and then upgrade to another custom ROM.
So I downloaded the 4Gb P780_S123_ROW_131231 version from elsewhere on the forum.
Using the SP Flash tool, it started flashing, and on the bottom I saw some info saying DRAM 8Gb, which worried me because I thought it might have been the wrong version, but the flash completed, green circle shown.
Then tried to reboot...nothing. Phone wouldn't even turn on.
Plugged it again into PC through USB, and the red light comes on, and instead of the device being recognized as a MT Preloader device, it now connects just as a MediaTek USB Port.
The SP Flash tool still recognizes 'something', but when trying to download or upgrade firmware (with another ROM), then the red progress bar goes to 100% quickly, but then hangs, and I see the error message in the log (timestamps removed):

Now, the above error is supposedly caused by using an incorrect ROM. But what would be a correct one ? I assume chinese but what version or it doesn't matter ?
I also downloaded the P780_S135_130917_rooted_twrp_gapps but when opening the scatter file, I see an entry UBOOT that is not available in the ROM, and I cannot download it(above error) or upgrade (UBOOT missing).
Any tips or do I now have a fancy paperweight ?

Hi all,
Recently got a Lenovo P780 4gb, Chinese version.
It came with VIBE UI 1.0, installed by the vendor.
Now, I wanted to have a different ROM without the Chinese characters here and there, and reading through the forums, I decided to flash a stock ROW version, and then upgrade to another custom ROM.
So I downloaded the 4Gb P780_S123_ROW_131231 version from elsewhere on the forum.
Using the SP Flash tool, it started flashing, and on the bottom I saw some info saying DRAM 8Gb, which worried me because I thought it might have been the wrong version, but the flash completed, green circle shown.
Then tried to reboot...nothing. Phone wouldn't even turn on.
Plugged it again into PC through USB, and the red light comes on, and instead of the device being recognized as a MT Preloader device, it now connects just as a MediaTek USB Port.
The SP Flash tool still recognizes 'something', but when trying to download or upgrade firmware (with another ROM), then the red progress bar goes to 100% quickly, but then hangs, and I see the error message in the log (timestamps removed):
BROM_DLL[4312][2988]: ERROR: MT6589EMISettingFactory::IsComboDiscreteDram(): Bootloader sub-version (MTK_BLOADER_INFO_SUB_VER_00) is not supported! (FlashToolLib/source/common/generic/src/emi_setting.cpp:557)

Hi. This phones are a little tricky to reflash after is softbriked. Just in case try to reflash with Life 0.7 for 4GB Firmware.
Here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/development/life-rom-lenovo-p780-t2666626
Here is a litle HOW TO in case of softbriked Lenovo P780:
Step by step you wil do this:
>>>>> USE WINDOWS 7 FOR THIS TUTORIAL <<<<<<<<<<<
>>>>>>>>>>REMOVE THE USB CALBLE FROM PHONE! <<<<<<<<<<<<<
NOW:
- Unpack FlashTools, and Click on Flash_tool.exe
- Select a the MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt in ROM from target_bin folder
- Wait file to be added into Flash Tool
- choose Option->USB Model,click USB Model SKIP THIS STEP IFF SELECTED
–> Choose Option->DA DownLoad All->Speed->High Speed, click High Speed
- Turn off your phone - skip this step if is allready powered off
- "Press F9 (hit Download button)" OR " if upgrade ROM Firmware->Upgrade "
- and ONLY NOW connect your phone into the computer via USB data cable.
- The process will start and a red progress bar will appear after color purple, yellow.
- And green circles display
- Finish !
- You can now safely disconnect your phone and turn it on!
After this tell me iff something goes wrong !
OR
Tell me if your phone is from 04.2014 production.
If it is you must remove the checkbox of the preloader when you flash your custom ROM.
Also highly recommended before manipulation of the phone to do a full backup and backup of NVRAM.
Hi,
Well I flashed the initial ROM with everything checked, so don't know if that can be undone?
I tried flashing the life version you linked to, and tried some other stock roms (like P780_S125_130529,P780_S129_130710), but it's all the time the same.
I start the tool, then unplug phone, press reset button, then click download or upgrade firmware.
In the status bar of the tool, I see a speed in bps, EMMC, COM5 (as long as phone not plugged in, this is USB).
Other ROMS froze the timer in this status bar straight away, it remained 0:00 sec, but with the Life ROM, it keeps counting.
But in the end, it always ends with the same error.
I've attached the log, which includes multiple tries (with PRELOADER unchecked, then again with PRELOADER and PRELOAD unchecked, then with all checked, update and download).
Can't I do something like format it all, then do a fresh install ? Guess it's not that simple
I used the flashtool included, and SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1332.0.187, no difference.
Don't see production date, only see sticker with 02-5707-131911 Lenovo P780 and a number. CMIT ID : 2013CP5888 on the battery itself there is a number 140315
Thanks already for your help and tips.

Nope, Just the numbers from previous post, IMEI, SN, and some other number, but nothing like 04.2014.
The original ROM (when received), was VIBEROM_V1.0_1415_2_ST_P780_OLK_W_A291.
Only found this rom as CWM recovery flashable, not SP Flash.
But at this point, it seems hopeless

Wow thanks The closest version I found on needrom is VIBEROM_V1.0_1415_DEV_P780_OLK_W_A291 but I don't know what format it is, it's still downloading.
And then again, I got it with this VIBEROM already flashed on it, and going into the settings and even built in diagnostics menu (when I could still get there) I don't recall seeing any version numbers even closely related to the numbers I find on the stock roms.
From the official VIBEUI site, it's the wrong format. The software version said something with name lenovohome.net, but I gave up on that, Chinese is beyond my knowledge and Google translate doesn't quite get it
Further, read some people advise just try to dowload PRELOADER, and others talk about volume- and power while plugging in (META-mode?).
But I guess that is not related to the problem.
As I understand it, PRELOADER and bootloader versions do not work together ?
It's a real pity since I used one of the official stock roms found on this site, and it actually flashed without problems.
PS : I see the option to format, including bootloader. In other roms I find UBOOT image. Is there something in this area that I can try
So... What i found is like this:
Your ex system is not a system that installs with Flash Tools.
Here is something what i found:
First Install
1. Flash rom china P780_S129_130710 with Flash Tools
2. Root rom china with Framaroot
3. Install MobileUncleTools
4. Install P780_CN_CWM-recovery with MobileUncleTools
Second Install From CWM
5. Install VIBEROM_V1.0_1415_2_ST_P780_OLK_W_A291.zip
6. Install GApps_Core_4.2.2.zip
7. Install SuperSU.zip
8. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
9. Reboot

Update : so no, same error.
Since nothing to loose at this point, decided to try SP Flash format (EXCEPT bootloader), and I spotted these lines in the log :

Given the rom I use comes from a Russian forum, and I see Russian characters, it might be from the image, but maybe something relevant.
Would it help or make it worse to format everything including bootloader, then just flash ...well...something ?

Hi, in another thread, where you were also active, a user mentions P780_136_140306.
Do you know where I can get that ROM ? It would be the only ROM I didn't try yet
Thanks!

Problem SOLVED !
Hi,
The phone is back to life!
So, here is what I did: thanks to user stympy, who gave some valuable advise, and was actually on the right track.
The phones with a production date starting from 03.2014 have an updated PRELOADER. If you try to use flashing the PRELOADER of any other rom here on these phones, you'll end up like me.
The production date, I think, is printed on the battery (if you have a Chinese model at least).
YOU CANNOT FLASH A PRELOADER OF THE ROMS ON THE FORUM ON PHONES WITH A PRODUCTION DATE 03.2014 OR LATER (at this moment)
So, I found on a Russian forum (sorry XDA but for Lenovo there is a lot more to find on 4PDA than here), a backup of the correct,new preloader.
- I took the P780_S129_130710 ROM, and replaced the preloader.bin with the one in this rom.
- Next, deleted the checksum.ini file in the rom to avoid errors
- Open SPFT, selected the ROM, made sure PRELOADER entry was pointing to the correct preloader.bin
- USB disconnected, I clicked Download with DA DL All with checksum activated
- Plugged in USB
- Flashed without issue, disconnected, and voila, boot!!!
Well, that gave me a Chinese interface, but some screenshot tutorials enabled me to switch it to English.
I luckily took a backup with MobileUncleTools of my IMEI, since that was gone.
Phone seems to work normal, with 2 SIM cards, but a lot of Chinese bloatware.
While I was at it in SPFT, I tried to flash pre-rooted, or ROW versions, but that was unsuccessful so far. Always the good old 4032 error, although I updated the preloader, or some other failures.
However, the problem I'm trying to fight now, is the recovery mode. Can't backup (and not going to try flash ROM through recovery), since I can't mount /data, /emmc, and other crucial partitions. I'm using CWM. My goal is to flash the SLX ROM or any other rom with less bloatware, in English, and stable.
Update : Flashed :
- P780_S135_130917_rooted_twrp_gapps + modified preloader and works fine: had to manually link the UBOOT to the LK file (SPFT did not do it by itself)
- VIBEUI_V1.5_1419_5_DEV_P780_rooted_twrp_gapps + modified preloader and works fine : same problem with UBOOT
- Some other (Chinese) versions. ALWAYS put in the preloader file I attached, and everything went smooth and OK
Decided to not use CWM anymore, it's buggy. I use the built in TWRP recovery, and that works like a charm. No issues whatsoever.
Decided to keep VIBEUI_V1.5_1419_5_DEV_P780_rooted_twrp_gapps, but my preferred one until now was just the old stock version.
Simple and good
I've attached the preloader.bin I used (use at your own risk!), I guess it might come in handy for all of you with the same problem
Note that this particular preloader worked for me on a Chinese model 4Gb, production date 15/03/2014
And thanks again to Stympy for all the help!

The same problem, but...
Hi, I have the same problem - chinese P780 4GB, brand new, 04-2014.
After flashing wrong (as i know it now, but not 2 hours ago) ROM P780_S135_130917_rooted_twrp_gapps my brand new P780 don't want to turn on and seems to be bricked. :crying:
During flashing everything was ok - no errors, mistakes, or something something else wrong. Flashing finished with green circle. I've read carefully all the posts in this thread but I can not repeat your solution cause now Flash Tool can't connect to device. When USB cable is plugged into the phone red light turn on, but my computer didn't see any new devices - no "MTK USB port", or "Android device" or even "unknown device".
Any suggestions?

Hello,
today i tried to flash my P780. The Build-Number of my phone was P780_S136_140306.
I flashed ROM P780_S135_130917_rooted_twrp_gapps with Smart Phone Tools and after that my phone was dead.
I flashed this ROM because i want to flash the ROM AOSP-4.4.2-v.1.8 after that.
Thx stympy for your tutorial to bring back my phone back to life!
I don´t know if my phone is chinese or not. There is no date on the battery, only chinese letters.
I need help to flash ROM AOSP-4.4.2-v.1.8.
Thx

Bricked Kingzone N5

Dear XDA Developpers,
My Kingzone N5 seems bricked since last Friday (18/03/2016), after an OTA update, because the device has been rooted (error while applying the update, bootloop ...). After some search on internet, I tried used to "SP Flash Tool" to recover the phone by uploading the official ROM, but no way : errors related to wrong chip, error related to bad dram ... I first think the phone was really broken, but I was able to read the whole RAM (RAM test passed OK), and read blocks from the eMMC. A topic told about a "format+download" to ensure the ROM to be properly uploaded : the format operation worked fine (all the eMMC, except the bootloader) seems now wiped (I can read empty blocks). I can access the phone right now, but for reading only, no way to upload neither the preloader, nor other partition ...
It would be really nice if you could help me ... :good:
Many thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Jean
Hi.
There are two different versions of the Kingzone N5 with different SOCs, and they need different ROMs. Likely you tried the wrong one.
You should never select "format" in SP Flash Tool, because it deletes the "preloader", which is required for flashing with SP Flash Tool in the regular way.
Now that preloader is gone, there is a last fallback to recover, but I don't know exactly how it works on the N5.
You need the phone's first boot loader (non-flashable ROM) to boot in test mode.
To activate test mode, you need to connect two pads on the mainboard or (don't know if the N5 supports this)
hold a specific button.
If the phone has booted in test mode, it will be recognized as a USB device and SP Flash Tool can flash the preloader (and only the preloader). Then you can start it again the normal way and flash all other firmware parts.
Here's the guide for you: http://www.romkingz.net/2016/01/how-to-get-pc-detect-and-mtk-device.html
What We Needed:
MT6577 USB VCOM Driver (W7/Vista/XP) ; Download
MT6577 USB VCOM Driver (W8 + W10) - Download
USB data cable
SP Flash Tool Download
First of all, make sure that you have MediaTek USB VCOM drivers installed if not follow Here.

How to use the tool
I tried to use the tool and the files you provided to revive my Oppo R5, but the layout of the tool which you provided is different from the one in the picture (you gave in the links). It is also in foreign characters so difficult to choose with option to tick.
In fact, the version that came with you package does not have as many option as the one in the picture. My confusion actually starts from when the program starts. There is a drop down menu to chose from a long list of 14005 to 15065. Which one do I choose for Oppo R5?
As for the qualcomm port, the device manager identified my phone on port 9006, whereas the picture shows 9008.
Please help me. I really need to get this phone to work. The phone would not do any thing is the buttons are pressed individually or in combination, other than being detected by the computer and enumerated in the device manager.
Many thanks in advance for your help.

The full list is here: 14005, 14006, 14023, 14037, 14039, 14040, 14041, 14042, 14043, 14045, 14046, 14047, 14050, 14051, 14052, 14061, 14062, 14065, 14068, 140083, 14085, 14097, 14098, 15005, 15005_4G, 15006, 1500_4G, 15007, 15007_4G, 15011, 15012, 15013, 15018, 15057, 15061, 15065.
The flash tool that I am using is V1.5. Is is possible that I am using a wrong version for what I need to do?
Many thanks for your attention.

Thank you so much. it worked. Not my Oppo r5 is back alive.
Where is the download?
Is it normal that when I hit the download link there appear aliexpress??
I thought I had bricked my R5 but while trying to follow this guide it wasn't showing up in the "Ports" section of the Device Manager. I found that my phone still had fastboot, so I used it to install latest TWRP and then the repair rom. And now my phone is finally back to working condition! I hadn't modified in any way my phone and one day it got stuck at the logo. Anyway, thanks for the guide Mermigas!
