I've flashed my TG01 with a regular ROM, everything went normal except it comes to booting part. So my problem is, device is not booting, not charging, and not recognizing by any PC's I've tried. I guess I really messed up this time.
What can I do? In my country TG01 is not officially announced, so the Services I've tried could'nt fix the problem. I'm at my own I think. But with your help I can make this device to return life.
Thanks in advance, I'm really desperate right now...

Don't worry, I've seen the worse and facing worse than yours.
A little read through the forum would have definitely solved your issue. However, I do understand that under such circumstances, you want to get to the solution quick. Here it is:
When you say not charging - can you see RED LED light flash or even appear when you plug to PC -(I think not)?
If your answer is NO, then follow on and try this
There you go, my last bit of help before I loose my TG01 forever!

Explain something. You normally flashed it via tg01_sddl+.exe , bootloader appeared, after few minutes it showed "...succesfully and will be restarted....." and after reset nothing happened ? You still have black screen ? It is strange that charger does not work. Maybe tg01 is still in booting phase but wrong flashing cause it is not able to display even Toshiba logo ? Did You try to remove battery, put it again and plug charging cable to see whether charging is working ? ( Do not press ON button when You put battery back )

The reason, I understood few months back from one of the mates who works in a repair centre (not toshiba):
This is semi-bricked TG01, hence it will show a faint white light when you tilt the phone, but won't show Toshiba logo AND won't charge.
The TG01 looses 'bootloader' and hence forgets to even boot - this occurs in 'fully' bricked TG01. TG01 not charging is a bad sign, especially when you don't even see 'toshiba' screen.
If you see that screen but don't see RED LED (i.e. not charging/ not being recognized) - you can still get it back using 'short pin' or 'unbrick method'
Thank you both for the fast and useful replies.
drupad2drupad,
No, I don't see any light even.
fxdjacentyfxd,
I always use the Short PIN method to flash my device. It's past over one month, maybe I remember it wrong.
BTW, the methods you linked needs to TG01 recognizes by PC, right? But I've tried with two PC's, one uses Win7 and the other one uses XP. Both does not recognize the device.

In normal working tg01 I would afraid to utilize permamently 3-pin method. In my oppinion one should utilize it only with problems with tg01 because this pins are connected somewhere to the hardware. It is very easy to cause electrostatic shock and simply damage whole device. For good cooked roms tg01_sddl+.exe is the best solution because it is none intrusive method. Anyway, Huston we have problem.

You are right, but I tried it almost hundred times, but couldn't managed to flash via tg01_sddl+.exe. So there is only one option to flash my device.

El Diablo - it might be a bad news. If there is no red light on top and the short pin doesn't work - it might be bricked (sorry! )
However - do you see a faint white back light on the screen - tilt your phone side ways and you should see white brightness on screen - if it does this - I think (from what I remember) - you can revive this but it might be the case that your battery is draining now - PLEASE TRY TO CHARGE YOUR BATTERY SOMEHOW BECAUSE IF BATTERY DRAINS OUT WHILE TRYING TO FLASH, YOU WILL DEFINITELY BRICK THE PHONE (IF IT IS NOT YET!)
If you don't see this back light and you no red light - it IS bricked. Only option finding the bootloader file - which is DAMN hard to find. When I bricked my first TG01, I never managed to find this file
OR
You might be able to get this working by sending it to a toshiba repair center. I do understand there is none where you live, but sending it by courier might be another option.
I hope you can revive the phone - I feel the pain

yes is 100% bricked! BUT this is 100 % the solution (with tg01.bin file (unzip) bootloaderfile)
2. LCD Display stay black (or verry dim black light) and when plug it in to charge No red LED flash, not possible to RESET OR Hard RESET

mirolg,
But PC's do not recognize the TG01. I've read the instruction manual, TG01 need to be plugged in a USB port, right? That means the PC MUST recognize the TG01 as I understood.
But, are you saying I can still revive my device?

Does PC "says" something after tg01 usb plugin ? ( any sound , message ).
Frankly speaking I was not able to utilze this method too because my XP detects tg01 in wrong way. I have few sounds and after several seconds device disappears completely from XP. It was even when my tg01 was not "bricked" - from time I bought it. After my first ( and so far last ) "brick" nothing changed - fortunately 3-pin method works . But I have any PC answer . You have not any ?

I did every step you've said, but neither the TGDownloader recognizes the device, so I can't start the update.
you have also to switch on the tg01.
Of course I tried to switch on TG01. But nothing happened.
But I must say that it's like something of device's hardware "shaking". I can feel the squezing in it. Any ideas?
Maybe the battery has not good contact? When you remove the back cover, can you move the batt with your fingers?

[update 2013/04/10]
And it is back to life! :victory:
I still cannot believe it! I decided to have another go using the Haier W718 USB cable and guess what? The cable supplied with the Zhou Xing i9300 is basically a big piece of s****.
I can confirm that the test point which worked for me are also GND + KCOL0
I have flashed the ROM wich link yuweng supplied. Thanks, again, bro :good:
Most things work except:
1) The ribbon cable running from the volume keys to the upper board is detached and I am not sure of how to fix this. Is it crazy to "superglue" it?
2) The IMEIs are not recognised. I have tried setting them up manually (following a video from Colonel Zap and taking the digits printed underneath the battery slot). No joy, no matter what SIM card slot I try, I get "IMEI invalid". In engineer mode, under bandmode, I have actually noticed that no band is selected. I check those applicable in Spain and click on "Set", but it basically ignores it.
So I am trying to get now a new ROM, hopefully closer to our settings in Spain. I have contacted a fellow member from a Spanish forum. Fingers crossed.
Oh, I almost forgot. Since the volume keys are not working because of the detached ribbon cable, I have ported TWRP recovery for the Zhou Xing. I thought a touch screen recovery would come in particularly handy now! Here it is.
BACKGROUND STORY BELOW:
Hi all!
I softbricked my Zhou Xing i9300 (MT6577) and now it won't boot :silly:. I cannot even get into recovery mode.
The only way I can access the phone is by SP Flash Tool. Thanks to another member of this forum (Dragonevo) I got hold of the stock ROM. However, this file is in a zip format, so the kind I have seen updating from recovery mode. Only the boot.img file is found out of all the files SP Flash tool looks for. Is there a way I can get the rest of the files for SP Flash Tool from this stock ROM zip including the scatter text?
Thanks!

At first I still got it recognised as MTK device, but right now the best I get is an "Unknown device" under USB devices (not under COM ports). This is with the phone completely assembled and battery inserted. When I dismantle the phone to try to trigger test point, no sign of life whatsoever. If I try to update the drivers, I get something like "Windows determined the best drivers are already present". I guess Windows is only detecting the device as some kind of USB memory and that is it.

I already found a ROM thanks to dragonevo's pointer here. The problem is, I guess, this ROM is in a format to be used when you can boot into Recovery mode. I say "I guess" because I have never got to see Recovery mode on this phone. I am not even sure of the key combination (tried Power & Volume + and Power & Volume -). I am using SP Flash Tool and it looks first for a scatter text file, and several other files that are not in that ROM zip, (only the boot.img is there). And from what I gather all these files also are specific to the phone model.
This is why I raised my original question in this post, so that I could use the ROM found in Flash Tool.

2.9 v (I have a spare one which reading is 4.1 v)
Reminder: when I try the test point, the battery is not present (it cannot be since the board has to be completely dismantled on this phone to access KCOL and GND points. commonwarrior has another phone model but exactly the same board and it has worked for him this way. If I got this right, the battery is not required and Flash Tool (since yesterday I am using the latest supplied by commonwarrior) actually has an option called "Autodetect", which is supposed to work either way, with and without battery). file is in a zip format, so the kind I have seen updating from recovery mode. Only the boot.img file is found out of all the files SP Flash tool looks for. Is there a way I can get the rest of the files for SP Flash Tool from this stock ROM zip including the scatter text?
Thanks!
[update 2013/02/14]
Sorry about vanishing, guys. I actually bumped into a bigger problem. My PC hard disk crashed. Anyway, I recovered my older (and smaller capacity) hard disk and installed it. As to the OS, I have just installed Ubuntu 12.04 + Windows XP as a virtual machine. I am a novice to Ubuntu, so please forgive me if the ending of this story is still delayed as I have other priorities to take care of right now.
Thanks a bunch again to yuweng for the correction for the test point and finally the files to flash from SP Flash Tools. I have downloaded the files and will have another go when I get the chance.
To be continued...
[update 2013/02/18]
I am afraid I am giving up on the Zhou Xing. No matter what test point I try, I never get any response in Flash Tool (I have also tried different versions including the latest one uploaded by commonwarrior).
With all the handling, the flat small cable that runs from the Volume up and down keys is detached from the contacts on the main board and I cannot see how I could weld these back.
So I am closing this chapter on my end. I hope it has been helpful to other people. At least now we have the files to flash from Flash Tools for this phone model. I wish we had found them before I screwed it completely.
Thanks again for all your help, particularly to yuweng and commonwarrior

Sorry, pigu36, I actually never got into Recovery mode. I flashed mine (and softbricked it) with SP Flash Tool.
Regarding the stock ROM, you will find the link in Dragonevo's post.
Maybe in that same thread, somebody will be able to tell you how to get into Recovery mode. As far as I am concerned, I have tried pressing "Power + Volume up" keys, but it has never worked.
Whatever I find out, I will share it here and in the other thread.
Good luck!
so whats the issue of playing with test points if u can make it detect thorugh spf ?

Sorry about the confusion, khankll.
This was before I tried to flash something else because I thought it could not get worse and maybe I could flash some kind of Recovery which would allow me to update from the SD card (where I have a copy of the stock ROM in a zip file).
However... things could get worse and they did. The phone is not detected any more even in SP Flash Tool, not charging... well you know the symptoms. So I found the test point thread and fingers crossed with all the advice you guys are helping with
If I am lucky with the test point method, I will still need the type of files SP Flash Tool looks for. Unless you know a way of getting them (converting repacking, I don't know what the right word would be) from the stock ROM zip file.

My only problem is, that there is no touchscreen-response.
Any Idea to solve this problem?

Hmmm, could i be that you forgot to install back the Touch Screen panel Flex Ribbon Cable...
Attach example is my friend's Touch Diamond2 9300 i help him replace the Touch Screen panel, hopefully it will be useful as a guide...
Another possibility is that may be this ROM is not for your Zhou Xing... :laugh:

Thanks for the fast response, Yuweng
I have installed back the Ribbon Cable, but not correct and without complete contacts. Now the TouchScreen works, but the touches lands not there where they should. Especially noticeable when using the phone keypad #1-3 = #4-6. I think I have to calibrate the touchscreen, but don't know how.
Second problem: the hardware- (volume up / down) - and sensor buttons (menu, home and back) are without function. I hope I did not damaged the flat cable searching the testpoint.
Your question about the testpoint:
See thread ..... / / forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php? p = 36908056
# 240
The first image shows the backsite of the board. Testpoint for me wars KCOLO & GND to start flashtool download => there is no Point DM.
Greetings
Herby
Hmm, according to orx65 photo on previous page, its definitely not KCOL0 & GND ( the two red dots )....
Big problem ! To calibrate Touch Screen, you need to boot into Factory mode....
Shut down the phone then hold Volume Down, don't let go & press power button until you see that it boots into Factory mode then only let go... :fingers-crossed:
Then it will display all the keys that you need to press once then only you can proceed with the Factory mode calibration...
ESC, BACK, MENU, VOLUME UP, VOLUME DOWN, POWER
Thanks once more!
I first have to repair the definitly broken flat cable for the hardware buttons. It already looked a bit cracked out of delivery.
But my fingers and my soldering iron are to big. :laugh: I must look even if there's a trick!?
Testpoint:
The combination on first picture (with phone 9 ContactPoints) ist KCOLO (2nd row/ center) & GND (first row/ center) worked for me.
It's shown in the picture thereunder.
There is no Contact with DM. 3rd Row right Contact is named DP, but I don't know if this ist what you are looking for.
There is one crazy idea on repairing the Flex Ribbon Cable here with a staple... :laugh:
Can't see it clearly on those photos, so what i meant was : does KCOL0 with DP works, if not then i'll remove the photo on previous page...
... for me only KCOLO & GND works ...

Install the.phone.drivers. disassembly the.phone and do a little.test point.to recognize the.flash mode. Run the.flash tool.loading the scatter file of.your stok, start the flashing in all the ports using the Automatic flag in battery section, the Preloader flag under the battery section.

Hello
is there any chance a kind person can help me with this dead stick?
a few information about this phone:
- as far as i was told, the phone died after an update
- when i plug the phone to the charger nothing appears on screen
- when i power the phone nothing happens
- when i volume up + power the phone nothing happen, same with volume down + power and volume up+down+power
i have installed the lg tools and using the imei downloaded a 600+MB package which should be the restore image of the phone but when the procedure starts to flash the image it gets stuck at 4% trying to connect to phone without any luck
if anyone has some ideas to give i would be very happy to try them!
the phone is dead. does it get hot when you connect it to the charger for some minutes? if yes, then it has shorted inside and you have to replace/repair it. same thing happened to my p765 and i had to get it replaced from lg.
Did you try to remove battery for a longer time and put it back? You can also try to remove SIM and SD card before inserting the battery.
thanks both of you for the replys.. makes me happy to be able to discuss this problem with someone..
i have been doing more testing. this are the new things i found out..
i have discharged the original battery by using it on a small circuit i have.. i then tested it with the tester and it was really low.. then i placed it back in the phone and left the phone charging all night to see if it would heat as noob.gamer said but it didn't.
interesting thing is that the battery is now charged again.. so i opened up the phone to look with the tester inside it..
looks like the charging microusb port works.. i can read about 5V on the pcb right where the connector is.. then i can read 3.3V right where the batter connect is.. when it is under charging, on the battery connector i can read much more than 3.3V which makes me suppose that the pcb is able to charge the battery afterall..
i just really can't understand why this thing doesn't give any sign of life.. power and volume buttons seem to close well when i press them, i can hear a small click.
is it possible that the phone motherboard can still charge the battery but has burned components on it?
components don't look very neat tbh, they all seems to have a black melt around.. here are some pics i did with another phone, sorry for quality

sorry, how can i do this?
do i have to enter software upgrade mode to be able to use the LG tools correctly? because this might explain why i wasn't able to flash it when i tried..
You have to press vol+ and then connect to usb(holding vol+), of course you have to be in SW Upgrade mode to get lg tool working
After you connected it, open LG tool and wait that it recognizes the phone

bah, sorry.. i have actually found a proper guide now here on xda.
so unfortunately i think i have a bigger problem here.. i have downloaded the universal lg drivers and installed them on a new computer, just to be sure to do everything from scratch correctly this time, and i then downloaded the lg support tools.
i started the tools which say the phone is not connected.. i then connected the usb to the pc.. then pressed vol+ and while it was pressed inserted the microusb to the phone. i tried it twice with the battery on and twice without the battery on.. (sd and sim are not in the phone)
unfortunately windows (xp) doesn't seem to recognize any device and doesn't install nothing. no new peripherals are detected in the device manager.
the lg suppor tools keep saying that the device is not attached and this btw was what i had with the other computer (when i just connected the phone without going into sw upgrade mode)..
Try to install drivers from lg tool, just to be sure that are right.
You should try also with another pc (win7) if you have this possibility, its strange that the tool doesnt recognize your phone in SW Upgrade Mode

i think there isn't much left to this phone sadly..
as you suggested i tried on another windows pc, this time 7.. i started directly the lg support tools and clicked on install drivers.. choose the lgp760 drivers and it downloaded them and installed them.. then i tried connecting the phone to the pc with the vol+ button pressed but nothing happens still..
is this sw upgrade mode suppose to start even without the battery?
edit: i tried rebooting the pc but still nothing has changed..

actually the phone is not mine. the person who gave it to me just told me this exact words:
"i was using the phone and received an update.. i downloaded it and installed it.. then i used the phone a 2 days and then it didn't work anymore."
this is all unfortunately.
when i try to start in sw update mode, nothing appears on screen.. i don't even hear the phone vibrating or making sounds.. nothing at all.
really looks totally dead.
try claiming the warranty. ..? and dnt mention root dev kdz words to them..just go ang say what your friend told u exact lines..and if u had open the lg l9 then pls screw it well and undetectable..and if possible..try sending a girl/older age(max 40 lol) woman to the lg service centre representatives..cuz they wont doubt a female doin root\black ops stuff on the phone..
remember there's a limit to xda work. .and that ends at hardware problems.

Funny thing, my p760 died yesterday with about the same symptoms and no way to get any vital sign of it. With the difference that the last update I did was like 3-4 weeks ago.
In my case seems like the back-top area gets a bit warm when charging, but I would say that just the usual. It might be, like someone said, a short circuit.
I guess it will not be a problem claiming the warranty and getting a new one. However I will not take the thing apart to be sure.
If you remove the phone battery and then, plug your phone to your computer, is there any signal on the USB port ? For example, on Windows, you should here a sound like if a device was plugged, unplugged, then plugged again, unplugged...
See this thread for more information :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2119090
If you don't have at least this reaction, you can assume the phone is really dead. Otherwise, you have probably a software issue with the bootloader or an hardware issue with the phone battery.

My bad, it is actually alive, and exactly as you said. I guess i didn´t press the combination properly :S. Seems like I might be able to update via "LG Support Tool" (vol+/power/usb). But first I need to try a backup, I would like to keep at least some photos I have on the phone.
Lets see if the sync software is able to do it...
---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 PM ----------
:/ As I expected the PC-sync software did not connect. And I don´t see any option to backup with the "support tool". Any options?
I suppose, the internal memory is just a memory card and I could just copy directly from the card, but I don´t want to take the phone apart (just in case a have to make use of the warranty in the end...)
Thanks in advance.
---------- Edit ----------
Well, the thing didn´t work out in the end. I tried upgrading with the "LG Support Tool" but the process never went further than 4%.
I will just return it, and I hope to get it back soon (or a new one... or whatever). In the meantime I can go back with my always reliable N5800

So if the message on the screen matches your problem, that must mean that you are like other members of recent. it means you don't know how to use this wonderful creation called a search and need to create pointless threads.
took me all of 5 seconds to do what you didn't do. I mean even if you had typed what you think the screen showed, the auto fill feature would have pointed you in the right direction too

now even if i have the necessary drivers (which come with motorola device manager) pc doesnt recognize my phone
also now my phone now says svf.... failed to boot... entering nflash recovery.... battery too low to flash and screen stays like this and phone gets heat (so we can say it's alive?)
The phone has been alive this whole time. I don't know why you said "hard brick" in the title, this has nothing to do with a hard brick. (Do you even know what a hardbrick is?)
You will need to charge the battery using another phone or an external charger. If you feel confident enough, you could try the trick where you strip a USB cable and connect the wires directly to the battery. (No idea what I'm talking about? Time to use search again.)

not hard brick? oh thank god, i said so because the phone does nothing
yeah i searched it before and its calldd factory cable, i havent done it yet but i tried usb jig which was a failure. no one owns an atrix around me, so i just need a external charger and right now im onto it
guys, i really appreciate your helps, im very glad to have you here thanks a lot. i will post here the results

Here is short explanation what hard brick is:
Hard bricks are more or likely that you won’t be able to fix it. If you get a hard brick, your phone will not be repaired, there will be absolutely no way to without sending it to the manufacturer. This could be from wiping the entire system without flashing a rom, no way into recovery and no way to get it back. This could be also caused from bad installation files, or turning off/removing the battery from your device during the first installation or boot up sequence. Sometimes you can fix a hard brick, but more often than not your device is going to be broken. This is a fix that is required by the manufacturer of the device. Honestly if you get this, it may just be simpler to go get the device replaced instead of even trying to fix it. HOWEVER make sure you go out and read about it, typing in the exact problem and doing lots of research for your specific device as there may be some hope for the device somewhere.

Exactly. try it with sudo, just in case (sudo is for run the command as root, with full privileges).
From there, you can go several ways

JTAG depends heavily on your ability to solder tiny surface mount components. Good luck.
Ok.
If you're having problems regarding how quick COM/USB port changes, please read my solution on post 4
Story.
I bought this phone last week and he came with android 4.2.2
After 2 hours i was able to get the 4.4.2 rooted but then...
...i just installed s.th that i can´t remember that cracks my boot.img
The this is that 4.2.2 version had the bootloader cracked but the 4.4.2 hasn't. That means i can't push anything to solve my .img issue.
After a few searches i reach to htcmania witch they have 2 possible solutions for my problem. Here's the 1st and here's the 2nd.
Now.
After i spend to much time trying to install the drivers correctly (initially without success) my phone just died. I lost Lenovo logo and ended up with just a red light blinking. Witch i though...F&%K!!!
If there's anyone who ended up like me, here's the solution for a pseudo-dead-phone:
remove your battery disconecting the cable inside the phone
plug the phone into a PC through a usb cable
insert your battery back
voilá. phone back alive
Now that i was able to get lenovo logo back again...
... i need your help (Lenovo K910 fans or someone with a great idea )to understand something that's has been cracking my head.
How the hell should i put this in download mode?!
I mean. Each time i plug the usb cable into PC with the volume up pressed, the device manager was able to reach Lenovo_blabla_2008 (witch seams to be the correct port so that my phone communicate with PC) but after a brief moment it changes to lenovo_composite_adb_interface (and this one doesn't work).
Now the question itself:
When should i press and where to stop that happening?! Because when i start the phone with those keys combination the phone restarts twice and not just one.
Here is a picture with my phone in download mode.
I quickly press the download button but then the just just restarts and i loose the download mode

Hey, same probleme no download mode...only for few seconds... No chance to force them
Solution and new problem
Well...
...after all these days without any success, today i must awake with a lamp over my head
Question: If our/mine problem regarding COM/USB port is the quickness that it changes to USB how can we slow it down?!
Answer: Plug an USB extension (big) between phone and PC and...voilá
Simple, isn't it?
Now i got another problem
Probably i made some mistake between step 7th & 8th on QPST tip for our K910 on HTCMania (you may use google translator to translate from spanish into your language, but english work better) and i ended with a complete black screen that doesn't respond to power button, no red light even if i unplug battery cable inside K910.
Any sugestion?!
Thanks
Here is a pic.
As you can see, device manager sees my port as QDLoader 9008 and it stays there.
QPST Configurator sees my port COM11 but doesn't recognize phone
and eMMC Software doens't connect on DW mode and it gives me that error
check this maybe usefull

@Crowds,
have you a blue LED then you press VolUP and plug in the USB cable?
I had no LED, nothing, no Red, no blue.
Here i get 2 PM's from Editl, he has tried me to help, without sucess.
Here i share:
Hi,
I do not want to intruding, but I saw that you have similar problem as I had. I still cannot post on Lenovo thread as I do not have 10 posts on xda.
Your message:
“Hello, now my phone Stuck on Lenovo logo and locked bootloader, too.
had 1431_-dev on it witch unlocked bootloader and recovery from 4pda (VIBEUI_V2.0_1431_6_DEV_K910_NK_W_66FC_RR) on it
Today i flash Recovery TWRP 2.7.1.2 on it, with success... all fine.
Boot in recovery and wipe all data to install 1433_4_ST_k910_246M" from the bbs forum on it.Vol + and -
after flash i clear Cache data again.. twrp reboot and now i stuck on lenovo logo and cant acces anything,fastboot says locked.
what can i do now?
Boot with Vol+- dont work and twrp boot wont work”
Possible resolution:
I had the same problem as you are just with different rom. I have flashed RUS_VIBEUI_V2.0_1433_4_ST_K910_WC97_RR with TWRP 2.7.1.2 using standard SDfuse method. After that I wanted to flash another rom. I have entered TWRP with boot to recovery option and wipe the system, dalvik and system cache.
Tried to flash new rom over sideload option build in the TWRP but phone returned bad checksums. Immediately after, I have rebooted phone and stuck onto Lenovo screen.
Boot with Vol- and power did work and twrp boot did not work either, tried so many times. I finally find on some forum that TWRP 2.7.1.2 have a bug and that if you want to enter TWRP 2.7.1.2 you need to hook your usb cable into the phone and then hold Vol +, Vol – and power together and then to plug usb cable to computer usb port then TWRP recovery will show up.
I have succeeded after few tries on one laptop with Win8.1 pro 64bit. One odd thing is that on that Laptop I had a Lenovo drivers installed but those drivers did not recognise phone that had just TWRP 2.7.1.2 recovery even if I had use that laptop for so many time to flash the phone over adb using SDfuse method.
On the end I used another laptop with Win7 HP 64bit with installed generic adb drivers to recognise phone with just TWRP 2.7.1.2 and pushed rom thru sideload and finally I revive my phone back to original state.
I am hoping that you can revive yours as well.
If you find this solution fix your problem, please post the link on xda.
Cheers.

I have find similar procedure on one forum. Give a try, you do not have anything to lose.
"LED bootloop is it with blank screen and blue light LED? can't boot OS and can't go into recovery.
last time i once stuck in these condition. after some trial and error manage to go into fastboot by shut down the phone (hold power button for more than 10 seconds) and then hold vol + & - then connect cable to computer (or is it vol - only)
somehow i've experienced this kind of brick few month ago. my solution was:
1. turn off the phone using the PWR + VOL UP method.
2. press both Vol UP/DOWN while the phone still turned off and plug in the usb into the computer
3. you will feel the vibration.
4. while in computer it should detect and the phone will be in fastboot mode.
5. run adb command to either load the cwm or etc
i forgot what step i choosed that time but somehow i managed to flash back the system and revive the phone."
By the way, do you have or know where to download international rom VIBEROM_V1.0_1407_2_ST_K910 ?

Like you, i don't have red, blue, yellow, orange, gfreen :laugh: plus...NO LOGO since my last step as explained on 4th post.
If you're stuck like i was (no leds but with lenovo logo) follow this BUT plug your phone with an USB extension like i've mentioned in 4th post. I´m pretty sure with this trick this will work on any PC despite OS used.
Regarding the solutions presented by @EdiTL both cases won't work cause this time i can't even turn on (?) my phone. This is very strange since if i plug in the usb cable pc recognizes that something is plugged but can't detect on QPST despite device manager recognizes COM port as QDLoader 9008
now i try with a 5 meter cable, same issue with short detect in 9008 and go after 2 seconds back to adb. no chance with qpst.

I'm convinced that WIN8 had nothing to do with it.
Everyone that i've talked to when i had my problema told me to put Win98 32 bits and i've managed with Win8 64 bits so...
Check my signature and follow everything without execption.
Like i wrote there it tool me 1 entire month!!!
...and unfortunately there's no other way, except...back to Lenovo and pay

So what I read your sadly history., your phone dosent regodnize it ether with battery? Did you get it succesful with or without battery? Cause I read HTCmania it is possible have succes without battery, is it true? In my case it has to be driver issue or driver signatures.... I downloaded win 8 x32 and will try it tomorrow without battery. Cause I quess my battery is empty. I regodnize that when I plug the microusb to the phone a little bit, the red light shows and I quess it will charge it a bit (~5min) and after that I plug the phone to the pc it shows qualcomm QDLodaer port not usb device. But It will discharge pretty fast and then pc regodnizes it as USBdevice. So what is my question is, Is it possible make that process without battery? Thank you, I really aprechiate your help.
P.s. Sorry my bad language, and one thing is sure. I wont send phone back in china. I´ll fight on my last day with this thing

Be sure that you install the correct drivers for COM port accordly to your OS.
And yes. I played so many times with my phone trying to get back alive that I ended with an empty battery (post #6 on my thread). By that time I had to remove the battery till all process is completed and restart the phone.
Like I said it took me 1 month until I was able to do with and like you one thing was sure...I won't send it back either
Good luck...you gonna need it

That your story gives me so much hope and that spark to not give up. Like I told you earlier, if I some miracle get that phone back in business I'll bye you a BEER!
Crowds said:
Ok.
If you're having problems regarding how quick COM/USB port changes, please read my solution on post 4
Story.
I bought this phone last week and he came with android 4.2.2
After 2 hours i was able to get the 4.4.2 rooted but then...
...i just installed s.th that i can´t remember that cracks my boot.img
The this is that 4.2.2 version had the bootloader cracked but the 4.4.2 hasn't. That means i can't push anything to solve my .img issue.
After a few searches i reach to htcmania witch they have 2 possible solutions for my problem. Here's the 1st and here's the 2nd.
Now.
After i spend to much time trying to install the drivers correctly (initially without success) my phone just died. I lost Lenovo logo and ended up with just a red light blinking. Witch i though...F&%K!!!
If there's anyone who ended up like me, here's the solution for a pseudo-dead-phone:
remove your battery disconecting the cable inside the phone
plug the phone into a PC through a usb cable
insert your battery back
voilá. phone back alive
Now that i was able to get lenovo logo back again...
... i need your help (Lenovo K910 fans or someone with a great idea )to understand something that's has been cracking my head.
How the hell should i put this in download mode?!
I mean. Each time i plug the usb cable into PC with the volume up pressed, the device manager was able to reach Lenovo_blabla_2008 (witch seams to be the correct port so that my phone communicate with PC) but after a brief moment it changes to lenovo_composite_adb_interface (and this one doesn't work).
Now the question itself:
When should i press and where to stop that happening?! Because when i start the phone with those keys combination the phone restarts twice and not just one.
Here is a picture with my phone in download mode.
I quickly press the download button but then the just just restarts and i loose the download mode
GRRRRR!!!!!!
Thanks

Hey. I did exacly what is in your instructions (recover k910) for prepare things . Can you explane why my device show as a port but in conf QPST it just hangs on half a way? Here is screen what I mean. And yes, I installed win 8. x64 but still that anoying broblem. This is why I ask this about you beacause your battery was also drained like mine. ( I plugged the phone to the pc battery unplugged.)

That's one the of anoying problems you'll find like i.
U had to be quick enough in order that QPST won't losse COM connection.
Most probably your QPST in that "midle way" disconnects as COM wright?
Well...keep tryng...i did it for one month

I did this. 1. (Disable signining) Installed QPST, reboot/(Disable signining). 2. Plugged phone to pc, got port/QHSUSB Bulk-> updated drivers win7x64 folder, reboot/(Disable signining). 3.Installed Lenovo drivers, (Disable signining). 5. Unpacked rom C:\bin/..6. Change the flash_local. 7. Open that Device manager and QPST config. AND THIS IS THE PART WHEN I SEE MY PHONE AS HALF A WAY PORT. It won´t dissapear there. It just connects and hangs on the half way, if i do the rest of instructions i got just emmc QPST hanging "download" and will search the device... aaaaand the result is "device not found"...
Actually, when I connect the phone to the computer it will only appear as in the picture and stays there. I do not have a big old USB cable. Do I need it for that purpose?

first read this
http://www.xperiagamer.com/Beginners-Guides/how-to-use-fastboot.html
then try this guide
http://ipsmart.blogspot.com/2013/08/detailed-guide-flashtool-flash-stock.html
:good:
If i can't acces not fastboot mode or flash mode? i just stuck with red light when i connect the phone to usb. volume up + cable or volume down + cable don't work.
Same here, I guess the boot is damaged.
Last night i suspected that the battery is dead, so I opened the device and disconnected the battery then tested it with MultiMeter, but the battery was doing fine.
anyway, I tried MTK Droid Tools, SP Flash Tool, SP Multi Port Download, Androxyde Flashtool, Sony PC Companion, All seems not able to detect the device.
in windows Device Manager when i connect the device it's shown as COM port.
When I plug the phone into charger or pc the notification light turns RED.
When I press the power button a faint red light appears in proximity sensor.
That's it.
I'm searching currently for TEST Points for the C5 Ultra Dual, I'm willing to try the "Emergency Flashmode", So, PLZ HELP

I see I'm not the only one here, it's realy gives me hope to repair it. I will try with RIFF box to repair the boot, but as you said there are no test point on the main board
UPD:
No test point on the main board, i have removed the main board from the phone and tried all points on it, no changes, still the COM port.

I'm fixing the device for a friend of mine, anyway, I have xperia mini pro that I unlocked via testpoint method a long time ago
I searched the internet to look for more info about Testpoints, Is it related to chipset or is it a special mode related to sony devices
anyway I'm willing to figure out the testpoint on E5533 by using the multimeter and see if the test point have some sort of different voltage on the mini pro, then I'll do the same with C5U to locate the test point (If exist at all)
I'll update as soon as i have results
regards

Is there some test point ? Someone had tried to test it via Se or S1 Tools???
I'm without my phone, someone tested ?
I'll test it because right now I don't have a screw to disassemble the phone.
When I do it I'll post...
Can someone link me S1Tools and the drivers?
I am lost, only found very old versions of S1Tools and I have no idea what drivers are needed and where to find them.
At least my c5 lies open infront of me
drivers for companium....
I tested a little with my open phone, shortcutted Mass with either 1 2 3 and 4

and connected the USB Plug again. But nothing happened, I constantly got the same device reconized, also it reconnects atfer about 45sec again.
S1Tools gave me failures at my "Patch SECMBoot" attempts when the device reconnects automatically.
On other tutorials they stated that you should have some SEMC device connected.
Can somebody check aswell?
