I did everything that was stated in the how to's but to no avail. additionally i cant get TWRP installed via fatboot, i have checked and crosschecked usb debugging and unlock OEM , but i cant get it to work , with SP Flash my phone pops up and vanishes in the hardware manager withing fractions of a second so it doesnt work with the sp Flash , in fastboot it wont let me download to recovery even if i use the command line oem unlock , because the volume up button that you have to use to accept[yes] doesnt work , only the vol down[no ] button has an effect, anyone any ideas anyone?

To use SP Flash tools, turn the phone off, press download on the software then plug the phone in. The preloader is only meant to show for a short time (a fraction of a second to a few seconds) so SPFT needs to be sending the signal to download in that time window.
What I've also found works is to press download on SPFT then press and hold power and volume up until the device starts downloading.
thx for the quick answer i will try a.s.a.p.

That could be a couple of things:
Which SPFT version are you using? If its an older version try using a newer one.
Or
The scatter file you loaded is not good, download a stock firmware and use the scatter file from that.
Try this:
fastboot flash recovery "filename".img
or
fastboot flash boot "filename".img
Do you have the MTK drivers installed? What does your phone appear as in the Device Manager? Like others have said, once you've chosen your scatter file and recovery to flash, hit download and then plug in the phone.
Managed to fix this? I have the exact same problem and not able to fix it till now....
I'm in a similar situation. I CAN get my phone to flash recovery in SPFT and get a lovely big green tick but when I power off and boot into recovery using power and volume up it boots into the stock android recovery rather than TWRP.
Going another way via ADB, I can get the phone detected but when I send the OEM unlock bootloader command I am unable to use volume up to confirm. Only the volume down key works to cancel.
All I want is to put viper4android on. Never had any issues until this phone.

Are you 100% sure the recovery.img you flashed was TWRP?
Absolutely. Downloaded from this very site. It was this one: recovery_TWRP_3021_P9000.img
---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------
Did an OTA update this morning and am showing as on build number Elephone_P9000_20160608 now. Haven't tried flashing since the update as I'm at work with locked down computers. Was going to try again over the weekend. Which recovery and version of flash tools would you recommend trying this time?
thanks for any advice.
Actually I have the same problem.
I tried to reinstall the drivers because it seems to be not the correct one. Here is a pic: i.imgur.com/FoUnVyz.png
After I read somewhere that i can try and hold down Volume+ while connecting my phone to the pc where i started the download in sp tools prior.
I got this error code: STATUS_PRELOADER_INVALID(0xC0030004)
And here I am with a not-up-to-date elephone p9000.
Anybody care to help me?
I'm in the same situation, tried everything - flashtool recovery.img separate in download mode, flashtool in update mode full 7.0 with replaced original recovery.img with TWRP one, played with fastboot with no luck as did not find the way to OEM UNLOCK it - vol + not reacting. Bought the phone on Gearbest, looks like it's locked very hard.
Can't install TWRP
Me too! I've updated my p9000 to latest stock v7 rom with spft. I can't install twrp recovery despite getting a geen tick from spft. Tried four times but it won't overwrite the stock rom recovery. A locked bootloader seems to be the popular diagnosis but spft doesn't use the bootloader. What else could it be? Ideas very welcome.
Did you boot into recovery immediately after flashing? A normal system boot will overwrite TWRP with the stock recovery. Once you start TWRP there is an option to prevent this from happening.
Can't install TWRP
Thanks for the suggestion. I flashed twrp again but it won't boot into recovery afterwards without a restart, just hangs. Stiĺl on stock recovery.

Recently I installed a room on my Xperia Z2 (Ressurection Remix). It worked fine until I lost the password of my lock screen, and to solve I tried to access my recovery to give a wipe, however the room did not give access to my recovery (TWRP 3.0.2.0), to solve I tried to install my firmware Original Xperia Z2, by the flashtool, I installed all the drivers of my device and when I went to try to enter the flashmode mode the cell phone did not enter (lit a green LED and then red and turned off the device) the device goes into fastboot without problems, So after that I made a bigger asshole, by flashtool I put the device in fastboot mode and installed a TWRP kernel to see if it worked, it did not work. Now I have my device turned off and it does not turn on and only goes into fastboot. Could any kind soul help to fix my problem, or was it?
Same here op if you find a solution please tell me its been 8 hours till now and still cant find anything
all the buttons are working fine but cant power on the device or even get into flashmode.
as you said the green led flashes for a sec then reboot on and on
hope someone can solve this problem
Download an FTF from Xperia Firm make a bundle with that(everything is inside it) then flash it. When the windows pops up to connect hold volume - and connect it. It will be fine. Happened to me too. In flashtool flash screen allow it to wipe everything.

this is what happend when i tried to chick bootloader statues and nothing shows after 5 min of waiting
so guess there is no bootloader if you have any idea about it

If you can access to fastboot then:
1- Flash the Boot.img from Lineage rom via fastboot using this command: fastboot flash boot boot.img
"boot.img" I assume you put the boot.img in the same dir with fastboot.
2- Flash TWRP Recovery via fastboot using this command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
I assume you put the recovery.img in the same dir with fastboot.
3- Boot into Recovery by using VOLUME UP when Sony logo comes up with pink notification light.
Link to recovery.img [url]https://mega.nz/#!iBQkgabb!B3G6dmlEMu-2xRV4w8Fl4xzRYlXSDgTeXhRtgevuT9A
And check the driver of fastboot and flashmod if it installed correctly and always use flashtool v0.9.18.6 only for Z2

plugged the device directly into power source and tried to inter recovery mode as you said but nothing
the screen flashes with sony logo then reboot as fast as that
i was pressing volume button like a retarded maybe i will get into recovery mode but nothing happen
guess the only thing to do now is to change the motherboard since i have one from another device

What?!! You supposed to check it before doing anyhing.
So i wanted to flash a new firmware on my MTK Device (UleFone Power 2), but i ran into some Errors while doing so, thus , my phone died in the process.
Following Errors occurred, depending on which (SP Flash Tool;SPMultidownloadflashtool;etc) you use:
Errors:
Internal Buffer
STATUS_SEC_IMGHDR_TYPE_MISMATCH
Through digging and asking on the web, two wonderful and very very helpful people: alterogi and finally Sunray888
This solution popped up. Thank you so much to both of them!!
Solution:
But first: You are now warned, try this at your own risk.
Quoted from Sunray888, alterogi. Credits to them.
My German Guide (more detailed with Pictures): Outside of XDA
Side Note: For the UP2 Rom you use SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject , for the UK6P ROm you use SPFlashTool.
(Links & Attachments below!) (Adb-Fastboot.zip & Checksum.zip)
Part1:
1. Download all the files. (Below are the links and attached files.
2. Extract each zip to its own folder. Then Put the files of the Checksum.zip into the ROM Folder of the Ulefone Power 2.
3. Run the Checksum.exe and wait until it is done. It will show up in the black CMD when it's finished. A new Checksum.ini should be in the folder now.
Part2:
1. Make a backup of your NVRAM and NVDATA, a full ROM backup if you can.
2. Get the Oukitel K6000 Plus ROm Version 2.0 Ready. Extract it to its own folder somewhere on your desktop.
3. Open the SPFlashtool and select the android scatter file of the Oukitel Rom.
4. Connect your phone, hold Volume down and press on "Download" in the SPFlashTool. Now you wait for the process to end, WHILE still holding the button down.
5. After it is done flashing your new Firmware unto your phone, start it like you would normally do. Disconnect your phone now. You can now also skip the Setup Details, since we still have to flash the original Firmware.
6. Go to Device Infos on the bottom of your phone settings, tap a few times on Build Number until the Developer Options activate. Go back and tap on Developer Options.
7. In here you activate OEM Unlock and USB Debugging. Back to the pc: Now you open a CMD Windows and navigate to your extracted ADB-Fastboot Folder. (Some Pictures of this are on my German Tutorial Thread, Link above).
8.Connect your phone, tick the avaible spot of the upcoming new popup notification. Shutdown your phone now. Hold Volume Up and Power Button at the SAME Time until the Fastboot Menu pops up.
Make sure your phone is still connected to the pc.
9. In the cmd window you will now have to type the following thing: fastboot oem unlock
9.5 Another Method to get into fastboot mode: (OR enabled usb debug, accept connection between your PC and Ulephone and send command fastboot reboot bootloader after that "fastboot oem unlock")
10. After the process is done. You are still in fastboot mode.
And let the phone connected to the Pc.
11. Now you have to flash the original ROM/Firmware. In this case only Version 17 will work.
On this step i had a lot issues with "insufficient buffer"-Errors under SP Flash tool, but there is a solution for this.
Be careful :
Try to use #SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject Version 3.1620 - only this software worked for me,earlier Versions i tried ( v.3.1636 ) always showed an Error.
Current Status: Phone is still connected to pc, fastboot mode, oem has just been unlocked by yourself.
What to do now:
12 Open the SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject, load scatter file of the Ulefone Power 2 Firmware, then press scan. Nothing will happen now, so be quick: Don't disconnect your phone.
Press Volume Up + Power Button at the same time to simulate a new connection to the pc. While the phone is still connected via cable! We have to do this. You will now hear a sound which you normally would here when connecting a new device to your Pc. Now you just have to keep holding the Volume Up Key.
IMPORTANT:
Don't let go of the button until the Programm shows up a Green Tick which signals the end of the Process. Now you can let go of the button.
13. After the scan has finished, press start and flash firmware. But how? It's easy. Just do the same again. ->>
13.1 Press Start in the Flash Programm.
13.2 We have to simulate a new connection. Hold Vol+ and Power Button. Until you hear the sound again, now only keep holding the Vol+ Button.
14. Wait for the green Tick Notification. Until then: Don't you dare let go of the Vol+ Button. When it shows up, you're pretty much done. Congrats!
15. Restore NVRAM and NVDATA.[/I] through mtk engineering mode: open dialer and call *#*#3646633#*#* , scroll down to GRPS and type in your IMEI (can be found in the box, in which your phone came shipped with). If it says something like that it's successfully written.-> Activate Airplanemode, wait a few seconds, deactivate it, activate Mobile Data Connection and wait. It should show a mobile data active.
Download Links: (I didn't upload those files,i simply shared the links, all credits to their respective owners. Use at your own risk.!)
UP2 Rom: Google Drive
Flashtool for UP2 Rom: One Drive
UK6P 2.0 + Flashtool: Click me
Checksum Gen Zip: --Below--
ADB Components: --Below--
UPDATING:
After flashing V15 Ulefone Firmware, use the SP FLASH TOOL to flash the newest firmware via "Firmware Upgrade" mode. remember to keep pushing vol up before connecting phone!
How to:
Press Download in Tool
Push and hold vol up
Connect cable to pc.
wait until green tick shows up.
Profit.
Same situation here. I've tried flashing with and without battery, no success. I can confirm that I did NOT lock the bootloader. Not that it helps me much.
I've tried using different versions of SPFT in addition to the multiport tool, but they either don't work with Power 2 scatter file, or show the same error.
This can potentially be a driver / USB issue, so I will probably try that next (different computer, fiddle with the drivers). I've also seen claims that SPFT v3 can happily flash over this, and then newer versions start working too, so try that if you can. It did not work for me - the download never starts on my computer with v3.
I can also add that I can flash preloader as well, although I try and leave that off when possible. The modem and lk* partitions show the same error you have, though, and the phone is dead.
I have managed to resolve this with a lot of help from Vivanyok on 4pda.
1. Make a backup of your NVRAM and NVDATA, a full ROM backup if you can.
2. Download Oukitel K6000 Plus ROM v2.0. Only this version will work.
3. Flash it. It will actually work just fine, no errors. I've used the latest SPFT.
4. Boot the phone into Android. In Developer Options, enable OEM Unlock.
5. Reboot into fastboot, do fastboot oem unlock.
6. After this, you can simply flash any Ulefone ROM for Power 2. Win!
7. Restore NVRAM and NVDATA.
Hope this helps somebody.
Thanks for your reply!! I will try that and report back ! I'm so glad there are people out here who help !
EDIT: OMG, You are my hero!!! The Flash Process went just fine, no errors. It boots up. Thank you so much! Now i can flash like a devil again, haha
EDIT2: So i could use the phone with the oukitel rom but i want the original rom, firmware.
So here is the other Problem. I can't flash them. I either get insufficient buffer error or the imghdr error.
Could you link me what you are using? I really need the phone. Thanks for your help in advance.! :S
Hi sm00th4f3

6. After this, you can simply flash any Ulefone ROM for Power 2. Win!
on this step i had a lot issue with insuffitient buffer under SP Flash tool, but yesterday i win too.
be careful :
after oem unlocking you should NOT reboot ulephone to Android,let phone stay connected to PC
try use #SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject version 3.1620 - only this soft help me,earlier i tried v.3.1636 but always error appear.
and when i started flashing i stayed ulephone connected to usb (i dont disconnect phone after oem unlocking) and i simulated connection by long press volume UP + Power buttons. You can control connection by default PC sound.
due in SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject other interface i did not change flashing type, it was firware update by default.
After that my ulefone become alive.
7. Restore NVRAM and NVDATA.
good luck, if any questions ask me on 4pda.ru
So, i tried your nice guide, and it finally worked!! Side Note is: After fastboot oem unlock you have to scan with the #SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject version 3.1620 your phone first, and then like you have already said, use the volume up+power button combo to simulate a connection. and then it will be flashed. Holy crap. Thank you so much!!.
You are welcome, last three day i also tried flash my up2
Still same problem

Hi there,
Thanks for the instructions. I have succeeded to install the Oukitel V2.0 ROM on my Ulefone Power 2 and change OEM in Android and fastboot but still no success to flash the final Ulefone Power 2 phone ROM from the Ulefone web site. The flash process starts but after two or three download steps the flash tool (3.1620 in administrator mode) stops still with the STATUS_SEC_IMGHDR_TYPE_MISMATCH error.
I have also tried with another ROM coming from another site, but still same error.
Could perhaps provide me a download link to a ROM that you successfully flashed to the Ulefone Power 2?
Thanks for your help

cannot find the up2 rom which can be flashed after flashing Oukitel K6000 Plus ROM. Please help...
Download Links added. There shouldn't be any problems using my method as long as you think as well.
Be aware that you have to use the Flashtool i linked, the exact same Flashtool Version as mentioned. Otherwise go to my german thread outside of xda to get more detailed pics.
solved my problem
this was the solution for me, thanks a lot....
recovered!
Hello guys! Thanks for the instructions, it worked great! Only thing, the fastboot you supplied has an password, so I used another I found online.
I finally got time to take care of my bricked Power 2 phone, and I got it back to life using the Oukitel method.
The phone works great, I only had to input IMEI numbers manualy.
Is there a need to lock back the bootloader, because now my device says "orange state", your device cannot be trusted?
hm hm.... fastboot allows me to lock the bootloader, but then the phone would reset itself to factory state for security reasons, so I will leave my bootloader unlocked, as I don't want to go trough the phone app installation and getting the settings to my taste
i just updated the zip..there shouldn't be a password anymore. ^^
For us, there isn't really a need to lock the bootloader. Since we can simply install every ota update by downloading the new rom from external sites. Just a reminder: don't use the ota update app since it will brick or just not work, since your bootloader is unlocked.

don't forget to enable oem unlock (bootloader isn't unlocked yet after you do this)
then fast boot the phone with oukitel rom, unlock the bootloader with adb fast boot unlock
don't let go of the vol button while flashing the phone with multiport flash tools
don't use ulepfhone original cable, mine was not working ok although there was no visual damage to the cable. I used another one that fit the usb port on the phone more firmly

Thank you SubwayChamp for help.
No , TWRP is not installed now .
Yes, I think bootloader has been unlocked. It is done with Orange status.
I think it is in download mode. it detects SPFlash.

Ok, I guess that your device is actually in bootloop and don´t booting.
Tutorial that you followed has many steps and don´t need to do all this to just root device and it contains some files like lk.bin that you can´t be sure that should be for your device.
Some users use this file (lk.bin) of an unlocked device and think that flashng in other device then get unlock it but no need, your device can be unlock it just follow some commands in fastboot mode.
Now you can do the next;
Try to flash again your rom stock (I guess that you don´t have a backup), if for some reason your official tool doesn´t work then use only some images like boot, system and userdata with the scatter.txt to flash them through SP Flash Tool.
Here a link to TWRP https://youtu.be/6vj_BY6xJdA, you can root it with supersu v2.78 0r v2.82 and here some files that can be usefull too https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0BwJgeCYTpnEHNlg2VUlieHFTYVU&export=download
Update steps that you are following to can assist. What extension has your rom and if it is recogniced for SP Flash Tool. I didn´t ask you if you can enter to fastboot mode and if you can then you can know if your bootloader is unlocked typing fastboot oem info
Most info that you give and some screenie will help to understand better
Unfortunatly, it can not enter to fastboot or recovery mode. Those files in replay didn't work and i dont have a backup. I try to flash recovery.img, system.img and preloader_shine_plus.bin . All done but it still black screen and does not boot. But now it connect to Pc without disconect .
I cant add link or images to my post.

Gmail didn´t warn myself about your post. Did you solve it?
You said that flashed recovery, system and preloader but how, through SPFlashTool?, if yes, are you sure that this tool recogniced your device?
You forgot to flash boot.img too.
Other way to try; flash only preloader.bin and then try flashing boot, system and userdata that are the three most important partitions to can boot.
Like last resort you can do a Format all + flash but only like last.

I´m not sure if you are connecting correctly your device at right time and form to can flash it properly. Every device has more or less a specific way to do it. My last alcatel it was connected just with device power off and after to tap on download, but in other device Blu Dash was connected pressing just vol_up and my last mt6757 Bluboo had to press both vol up and down at time to connect to pc and after to tap on download option. To have sure that is well done increase volume in your pc, you will hear a first sound that is cause pc is recognicing but then you have to hear a second sound that is when SPFlashTool is recognicing device and you will see a red line in down side of the tool window, release button inmediately and let tool to work.
This is a good rom for your device according the author is optimized https://droid1311.blogspot.com/2017/08/alcatel-fl02-aka-flash-plus-2-via.html and this is the link directly if you have troubles with pop-up-adds https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwAGh1drb91SeDZwV1VXbXpjQWM/view
Also you can try with other versions of SP Flash Tool, most stable maybe should be v5,1628 https://androidmtk.com/smart-phone-flash-tool leth me know how you go
If I understant, the status bar has to be red then I will release the mobile button and click download in SPFlashTool.
SPFlashTool 5.1628:
I try all the way with and without pressing any button but no luck . And when it work finishing with error.
SPFlashTool 5.1628:
I try all the way to get that mode but nothing works. So I try to click download button then conect the phone by random buttons and every time i get red color , yellow , green ,purple , yellow (for many times 100%)
then i get this error:
ERR: STATUS-SEC-IMG-TYPE-MISMATCH (0xC002002A)

There is a part that is not variable in the way to use this tool, ever you have to tap on download before to connect device and is recommendable too connect cable usb to pc (not yet to device); from here is when the button that you have to press can vary but like I said you before in my last mt6757 (a very similar to yours) works pressing both vol at same time to connect terminal cable to device and now you will see a red line (could be violet-ish)
Try before just flashing only preloader file to recreate some partitions and then do other flash for the other files.
Of course you have to be sure that all drivers are installed correctly cause this tool needs to put your device in download mode (a special level) and also keep it in this state so find VCOM drivers for Alcatel and adb/fastboot installer and try to uninstalling some older drivers that you don´t use and many times we keep in our pcs and for a short data transmission can helo that all the rom move it in same folder where SPFlashTool is allocated.
After updating drivers and trying all the possibilities buttons the red line doesnt appear.

Ok, here there are somethings that we need to know
- First of all don´t forget to charge your battery, after many attempts could consume a lot.
- Your device is recogniced in fastboot mode? mtk has two variables ways to enter to, pressing both vol + pwr till an options menu appear, then you have to select, and the other method most known is vol down+ pwr to go diirectly
- In what android version are you, 6.0?
- What is the exact variant of your device, you can know maybe seeing in the box, this rom is for 5095K version 6.0 MM
- Did you try to flash just preloader, only this file?
If SPFlashTool don´t give signals of recognicing device is probably that your device is not now totally power off, try pressing pwr by 7 seconds, then try to flash again combining both vol with pwr button
Upload some screenshot about the process

Which option mode should appear? Screen is always black (off) all that i have on the phone is the LED.
I try more than 4 different drivers for Alcatel Flash Plus 2 (vcom & cdc) but no sound from SPFlash to prove that it recognise the phone. Sounds just release and keep relrease from Windows 10.

You need to try two different ways to flash files and restore your device.
First method: fastboot mode
You need to get device enter to fastboot in order to flash some files like system, boot and userdata, then there are two main methods to do it:
- Pressing pwr + vol down
- And I mentioned that sometimes work pressing both volume button + pwr and a menu have to appear to can select an option to enter to (fastboot mode), in some devices this method is not working but you have to try several times attempting to.
Second method: SPFlashTool
You have to ever press first of all Download box and connect terminal cable to pc and the buttons thhat you need to press at time to connec cable usb to your device may vary, sometimes vol down, sometimes both vol but never pwr button; if pc recognice then you have to release all buttone an let it pc continue the flash process.
If SPFlashTool recognice device first flash only preloader file and select now lk.bin too. Flash only these two files and after do again a new flash with the rest of the files, Why you need to do this? your partitions are corrupted and you need to restore them with these files in order to can flash all another files.
Before all of this charge your battery, if you have a cover removable then extract it some minutes and put it again.
Also I read that for this model it´s used this tool instead of SPFlash Tool https://androidmtk.com/download-sugar-mtk-sp-flash-tool (inside the zip you will find a password to start the tool) but I´m not sure what kind of rom it needs, you have to connect your device to begin the process, you will find in product models section in the tool this variant for your device "FL02"
Try first the other tool and then this and let me know how you go, mtk devices are almost unbrickeable so it´s just to find the appropriate way to return it to the life.
Hi again!
It was along time,I know . But I tried to know why I can’t return my phone back to life.
I have searched all possible websites for rom of this model and I have formatted my pc and installed win7 with all necessary drivers.
I can’t found any rom for it but now I can flash all the necessary files for boot they flashing and running smoothly but the mobile can’t boot up.
I try to use that app in your replay. It recognizes the device but stuck after that and keep looking for rom without any chance to download it.
I think I have a wrong rom files. I can’t find any other reason but this.
I will write again all information about my phone:
It is called Alcatel Flash Plus 2
I bought it from AliExpress and it came from Indonesia as I remember (not sure)

Yes, so many time
When device is booting, it stays in bootlogo or goes atleast to bootanimation?
I understand that you tried with Sugar tool with no lucky.
Did you try again through SP Flash tool? trying to flash in a first attempt only preloader file and in a second attempt the other files? (try with 2 or 3 versions and see the differences).
Is there some custom development, recovery, roms for your device?
I think that now you are flashing correct rom through fastboot but like you did before bad/wrong flashings your bootloader is refusing to boot to system. Flash through fastboot all the partitions that you can follow the syntax for every one of them by i.e. typing fastboot flash cache cache.img and so on one by one (some of them are unflashable through this method)

I´ll tell you some ideas with no any specific order that you can try or see if works.
Really very strange that display stays in black, you told me that flashing files through fastboot is working but doesn´t appear not even bootlogo, connect to pc as it is and see how pc recognices in devices manager and my pc if appears like a determined drive d/e/f so it looks that some bad flashing burn your kernel and this case is similar to when a Samsung device need to use jtag method to revive, if in your country no-one knows about Alcatel devices this could be a similar case to what I´m saying then it could be a clue for a technician. I tell you this cause many time ago when I flashed by error a Samsung s4 and only this method revived my device.
Try this, flash your stock recovery only through SPFlash tool and flash after through Alcatel Download tool your stock rom cause some firmwares need to detect stock recovery first to can flash other partitions.
At this stage don´t you have stock recovery, no? so you can try to format data cause sometimes when bootloader is altered then avoid to boot and formatting data can solve this.
If this recovery twrp is for your device you can try flashing through SPFlash tool, you have to put recovery.img and scatter-txt in a same folder. then if succesfull format data, system, wipe cache and dalvik and maybe later try to port some custom rom would be a way to solve this.
To flash any partition through fastboot this is the syntax, just follow one by one any of the files that are in your rom folder so just follow these, if some of then can´t be flashed don´t worry then it´s not flashable:
fastboot flash boot bot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash lk lk.bin
and so on till the end
...But after try this if you didn´t get boot to recovery and obviously you can´t delete data nor system then delete first the next partitions trough fastboot typing:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase boot
Try all this and let us see how it goes
I have flashed TWRP Rom but it is same , no luck.
On sugar tool I got this message after success flashing via SPFLASH tool.
I tried all possible buttons to connect device to PC on Fastboot mode but the PC cannot send data to my device.
To be in Fastboot mode , the device has to boot while pressing on (PWR & VOL+) but my device can’t boot.

I see that Sugar tool detects your device like rooted and refuses to flash anything, compare imei number which is in the box, I hope that it couldn´t be changed.
Don´t tell me simply no luck, what it says in SPFlash tool when you tried to flash TWRP and I guess that you put scatter-txt and twrp renamed recovery.img simply in the same folder. Just to be clear, to can flash with this tool your device it has to be off not needed fastboot for this. (provide some screenie)
Other combination of keys to enter to fastboot to flash some partitions when something is missing is, try these three ways:
- Pressing only vol down and at same time connecting to charger (connect first one terminal of cable to your device and then to the charger)
- Pressing the three buttons till a menu appears (you must to release inmediately all)
- Pressing vol up + pwr till a menu appears (you must to release pwr button inmediately) then choose fastboot
In the post 4 I provided a link from Google Drive, in this zip there are 8 items;
- From the item 2 use this version of SP Flash tool, put the four files in a folder and flash them
- In the item 3 you will find some scripts for fastboot, maybe they´re working better and also you have here a subfolder with twrp image.
- And if you get sucessfully install twrp in the item 7 there is a backup with some files to restore from this recovery.
Try one by one and update the info, I hope that your motherboard is not damaged.
PHH aosp gsi confirmed to boot on BOLD-N1.
Need to be fully stock
--boot
--vendor
--recovery
Restoring device to factory condition , see this thread
Download PHH-AOSP 10
Download will be a compressed file *.gz , ectract the *.img file from inside
.
Code:
fastboot flash system **extracted-GSI.IMG**
fastboot oem reboot recovery
Perform factory reset inside stock recovery.
my tests trying to complete these steps with twrp all end with unknown imei.
V203 boots with only found issue is the fingerprint sensor Not working. For me i feel mtk devices are not secure anyway, the fingerprint sensor is more of a gimmick, so if it is not working, i do not care.
Current version v215 tested by and boots fine.
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases
Things to consider
WHAT WORKS:
audio -music and speaker phone
camera-front and back (yes pop-up camera works)
video-camera front and back
video playback --(tested youtube in browser) - recorded video playback
Phone calls
messages
auto rotate
brightness
wifi tethering
mtp
flashlight
lift to wake (needed to turn off then on to activate it)
adaptive brightness
dark theme
gps
WHAT DOESN'T:
--Fingerprint
--phone works/ but dialer app has message that device is unsupported
--off-mode charging -- when charging with phone off, bootloader logo screen stays on, instead of battery icon
--screen recording-- after enable dev option // feature flag // settings_screenrecord_long_press .. you can access
screen record from long press power menu, long press screenshot menu, but recording will not save or stop
recording.-- setting option to on does not survive reboot
-- screen shot -- taking screen shot forces a bug report creation. (maybe this is not an issue, only a setting)
.
So I actually have to go back to stock since I'm running magisk? Is that why when I try flashboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img it comes back as unknown file/directory?

our device does not have VBmeta
the directions that say flash VBMETA, say use the stock meta file from stock firmware. so because that file is not used here, this is why you get the error message, ......
actually from your command you did not tell fastboot the location of the file you are trying to flash Unless you have a file called "vbmeta.img" in the current command terminal location. But again back to my original statement, our device does not have this file, so IF you do have the file, it is from other device anyway.
I guess I see how to flash the gsi but how do I get twrp installed?

While system is on boot animation screen. (this is as far as it will go on its own)
After the adb push, for me at least, the phone starts to continue its boot operation. Still do the reboot anyway.

So I haven't been able to find a twrp.img file for bold n1. Sorry if I sound stupid but this is my first time doing this. I had root with magisk and something screwed it up, and my phone was reading SIM cards. I uninstalled magisk and am back stock with an unlocked bootloader ...can you possibly walk me through installing twrp and flashing the Android 10 files? I would be so appreciative!

I have not been using twrp with GSI, but if you want to try goto twrp thread. Note that the twrp is currently only working with adb command line interface. No touch screen activity.
start by looking at the threads here. You will find twrp thread there.
So I've got Android 10 up and running...so can I just go ahead and root with magisk? Or will that mess up what I just did?

aosp has root built in. If you prefer majisk, you need to first remove the included -su, and then need to use PHH-Majisk, not standard version.
Information on that should be found in gsi thread. It is not device specific.
ok so i had 10 working without twrp.....went to flash twrp...flash success....reboot to recovery...screen went black and CAN NOT get the device to power back on.....no vibrate no power no nada......wtf do i do?!?!?!

you do know the screen in twrp has long delay before turns on. Do you have adb access to device?
if twrp is dead to adb, then

you do know the screen in twrp has long delay before turns on. Do you have adb access to device?

everything is dead....phone no power or vibration while pushing buttons...no reaction when charging....adb says no device....fastboot the same
ive tried spflash tool but since computer isnt even detecting device, no luck.......im so upset. i just bought this phone.....the only kind of life i get is when plugging into windows laptop the connected "doop" sound for connected and then about 5 seconds later the same sound for disconnect.....repetitively and its driving me crazy
when trying to install the vcon drivers for spflash as the log is running says finish because its not detecting, but then says detected and drivers are newer what is trying to be installed...then not detected again
any advice? any chance at saving my phone??

That repeating sound is sign of bootloop.
Spflash tool is the recommended repair tool.
Download the factory restore package,
Extract the downloaded file.
Open flashtool, select scatter file from the extracted download. Ensure tool is on "download only" mode
Clear all select boxes in the tool window. Put check only in the recovery line.
Press download button, plug USB into phone. The bootloop in the phone is enough to make connection start.
What twrp did you use, where did it come from. Did you verify md5 of the downloaded file.
The only twrp I found was the one I shared, and it did not cause that kind of issue for me. So maybe you did something that you didn't mention?
I think I found the culprit... I download a file called "twrp" that actually turned out to be orangefoxrecovery... So I'm pretty positive that that's what caused it... Also, I've got a green check mark that says download OK.... Yellow bar at bottom of screen says recovery download flash 100%... What is my next step sir...?

Oh, last step is unplug USB. Then long press power button.
10 second should do. But maybe 20

Same happened to me, ended up fixing issue by using spflah tool (latest) and updated stock rom (mrmazak posted it) ?
I haven't bought the N1 yet but just might thanks to @mrmazak testing! Anyone tried Q v204 yet? Also curious if PHH regular Pie is bug free.

PHH aosp gsi confirmed to boot on BOLD-N1.
Need to be fully stock
--boot
--vendor
--recovery
Restoring device to factory condition , see this thread
Download PHH-AOSP 10
Download will be a compressed file *.gz , ectract the *.img file from inside
.
Code:
fastboot flash system **extracted-GSI.IMG**
fastboot oem reboot recovery
Perform factory reset inside stock recovery.
my tests trying to complete these steps with twrp all end with unknown imei.
V203 boots with only found issue is the fingerprint sensor Not working. For me i feel mtk devices are not secure anyway, the fingerprint sensor is more of a gimmick, so if it is not working, i do not care.
Current version v204 not tested by me yet.

Do not tell me in v 203 which version to download? I tried several but all to no avail
elephone p8000
any insight as to why every computer i plug my bold n1 into it shows up as a elephone p8000?
and on that note, say i found a working twrp for the elephone p8000 would that be possible?
i lost my root and android 10 due to bootloop. i used spflash to restore stock pie firmware. but now no matter what method or gsi or rom i try to flash my phone just will not accept it. The flashing is always successful, but upon reboot, i get a yellow/green screen flash followed by boot anim boot loop? any idea what would be causing this? i cant for the life of me figure out why my phone wont accept any system imgs i try to flash..

Elephone p8000 is at least 3 years old. And would not think twrp from it will work on your bold n1.
As for why your PC shows your bold n1 as different phone, I can only guess that your PC drivers are somehow modified.
Or your phone is maybe not stock?
I tried to root my phone using this guide, followed it down to the word and yet my phone's stuck in a bootloop. It keeps restarting to the Poco start screen.
Ive got the stock recovery, and for some odd reason fastboot commands work only in the "FASTBOOTD" screen and not the the "FASTBOOT" screen which you get from "adb reboot bootloader" command.
I try to shut it down and it boots up back again in the same screen and is stuck there.
Im clueless and I really dont know what to do. Some help would be greatly appreciated.
edit: I tried to use the stock recovery and wipe data. No progress.
I tried to connect the phone with the MIAssistant but the app doesnt recognise the device.
I tried using the MiFlash tool to flash the stock rom, it goes on infinitely. Im currently trying to use the SP Flash tool and MediaTek Bypass tool but I havnt got any progress yet.
I promise I'm never buying MediaTek devices ever again.
Careful with the Flash and Bypass tools, they can cause problems.
What can you achieve with the hardware buttons on the phone? Can you get it into recovery?
Fastbootd working but fastboot not sounds like a USB drivers problem - there are some driver options here.

It was a driver issue, thanks for the link.
What I did to get out of the bootloop:
1. Download the latest Miui rom for your version, make sure it's the recovery version and not the fastboot one.
2. Press ALL the buttons, Vol+ Vol- and Power button to shut it down for a few seconds (assuming you can't switch it off as it keeps powering back up again).
3. After it's switched off, quickly press the power and vol- button until you see the FASTBOOT screen.
4. Connect with PC, make sure you have the proper drivers and have connected with the right USB port.
5. Download OrangeFox custom recovery. It is a unofficial custom recovery, so its stability is questionable. But it does the job here.
6. Copy the OrangeFox zip and the Miui rom file to your phone's SD card or any external storage which your phone can access.
7. In your PC, extract the OrangeFox zip folder in your platform-tools folder. (The folder where you run your cmd fastboot/adb commands)
8. Open up cmd, and enter the command:
fastboot flash boot recovery.img
9. Your phone should boot up to the OrangeFox recovery. If not switch the phone off (Step 2) and press power + vol+ button for booting up to the recovery.
10. Locate your OrangeFox zip installer file in the recovery and flash it.
11. Reboot to the recovery again.
12. Locate the Miui rom and flash that. Before swiping to flash the rom, there is a check box which says something like "flash OrangeFox once the rom has been flashed". If you want to keep OrangeFox as your recovery then check it, or else leave it unchecked. Flashing roms remove custom recoveries.
13. Your phone must reboot to miui.
NOTE: You can use fastboot commands to flash the rom but I'm not very familiar with fastboot commands (I actually forgot most of them). Hence I use the recovery method.
