Hi all.
I guess I am in deep trouble.
I have a Lenovo P780 (chinese base rom) 4gb version. Rooted it and installed with CWM recovery for P780. Installed Muse UI 3.0 custom rom from custom recovery via sd card. Swapped the internal SD with External SD card by editing the vold.fstab and vold.fstab.nand also.
However, I realised that there are a lot of bloatwares that took up the RAM and started uninstalling chinese apps that seems to come with the custom rom from system. However, when I restarted the phone, its now unable to boot beyond the 1st boot screen. (Boot loop)
Current state of the phone now:
1. Able to enter custom recovery mode, but menu is blank except for the navigation commands. (return, up, down, confirm)
2. Able to enter adb only when the phone is in custom recovery mode.
3. Able to connect to PC (Windows 7 64bit). Mediatek MT6589 usb drivers installed. Many versions of sp flash tools installed and tried.
4. Can't seem to enter fastboot for this phone. (Tried many key combinations. Only Meta mode, recovery mode and factory mode are found)
Things I had tried:
1. Flashing stock rom.
I had downloaded the stock roms and tried flashing with sp flash tools, but I always encounter the following errors. Had also tried switching to another windows XP based pc and still encounter these errors.
(a) Firmware -> upgrade. Tried Auto Format Flash also and it returns with the same errors.
- BROM ERROR: S_FT_FORMAT_FAILED (4010)
Format flash error. Possibly given wrong format range. Please check your format settings.
(b) Download (all img boxes checked)
- BROM ERROR: S_FT_DOWNLOAD_FAIL (4008)
Download to flash fail!
(c) Download (only one img checkbox ticked, tried system.img and recovery.img)
- - BROM ERROR: S_FT_DOWNLOAD_FAIL (4008)
Download to flash fail!
2. Flashing recovery from adb terminal via windows and usb connection
When I put the phone to the custom recovery (with missing menu options), the adb terminal is able to recognise the phone and returns the following after the command 'adb devices':
0123456789ABCDEF recovery
Upon entering the shell via 'adb shell', I am given the # sign. (already in SU mode?)
Tried to flash a recovery image from this mode via terminal command flash_image, but encounters the following problems:
(a) unable to mount/remount
- mount -o remount rw /system
mount: mounting rw on /system failed: Invalid argument
chmod 777 /system/flash_image
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
no response from the terminal after this command.
I had tried and tried these for more than a week after work, but had not been successful in reviving this phone. Appreciate if anyone can assist me as I had ran out of ideas already.... Please assist me in reviving this good phone. Many Thanks!

Yep. Tried using several versions of the drivers downloaded from different places and used USBDeview to remove/reinstall them. The error still comes back and haunt me.
maybe this can help you
No luck.... formatting is not working in sp flash tool (4010 error) and the preloader in the thread is not for my phone.....
Anyone able to help pls....?

have you use google my brother ? google is our true friend.
but i glad if i can help you:angel:
you can visit this for factory rom
or you can visit lenovo forum
or you can go to needrom
Yeah. Google had been my fren, but no more after googling for 2 weeks without a solution. Trust me. I had looked thru most solutions found in google and had tried without any success before I post here.
All those stock roms of all release numbers I had already tried as mentioned above, with sp flash tools (tried many versions of that also.) ALL attempts are stucked with the errors mentioned above. The sp flashtool simply just fills the red status bar, and stopped with one of the errors in my 1st post.
I've even checked the chinese forums. My situation seems to be this:
The partition table of the flash memory had been reformatted thanks to the custom rom flashed via sd card. That's why it always returns a format flash error when I attempt to flash back to the stock rom which uses a different format range using sp flash tools. The only way out is to do a clean format of the flash memory. But I haven't find a way to do that via sp flash tool or mtk droid tool.
My only recourse is on of the following:
1. If I can restore the custom recovery (via adb in recovery mode(no fastboot) or meta mode) and make it workable to do another sd card flash with a custom rom. I have no idea why the options in my custom recovery went missing. It was working before I flashed the custom rom. I guess that accursed rom somehow erased my custom recovery during boot.
2. If I can somehow be able to do a complete flash format with the correct format parameters using some tools. Sp flash tools had failed me so far.
Anyone is able to help in these directions? Many thanks....
The sp flash tool log also have this line when I searched for 'Errors'
FlashTool[2684][8556][DEBUG]: ERROR: OperationIndicator::QueryDADLHint(): da_dl_type(??) error, could not find DA download hint!(.\OperationIndicator.cpp,98)
anyone can help......?

I think it's because the driver is not installed, try to disable digital signature on your windows, and reinstall driver for your phone
for how to disable digital signature go to this

Already tried this. I had tried on 2 pcs. Windows 7 and windows xp (no digital signature). Same errors occur in both pcs. I really don't know what is going on with this phone. Nothing seems to work.
PS: Have been running the program as administrator all along also.
Sent to a phone repair shop and its at worst state than before now. Unable to power on. Connecting phone to computer and tried using sp flashtool now gives 4032 error (Enable Dram failed).
Any hope with reviving this phone now?

Hi, first, do you have SP Flash Tool installed on your PC and have the drivers installed? If yes, download the stock ROM of your choice from here and flash it with via SP Flash Tool, and your phone should be revived.
Flashing methods are clearly stated in case if you don't know how to do it.

Hello guys, there is no specific forum for this device, that is why have started this new thread.
My xolo q500 is bricked. It stucks at the logo and doesn't go further. I was trying to install CWM recovery. But niether CWM nor TWRP not available for my device so i tried to flash CWM of some other device from the rom manager. It was of xolo q700. After flashing my device got shut down but stcuked at the boot logo when restarting.
All i wanted to do is to flash a custom rom. I rooted. I tried to flash it via the default recovery but it was not succesfull i dont know why. I googled and came up to know that i need to install custom recovery like CWM or TWRP to successfully flash custom roms. So when i flashed cwm of xolo q700, this happened....... It was all because of that other device's CWM..... and that recovery.img file was placed in the internal memory. So overall, i flashed it from the internal memory.............
Now my phone niether boots up normally nor boots in the recovery menu. It stucks at the xolo logo. I googled but i found unbricking methods for mediatek devices via sp flash tools but my device has Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset , so that didn't worked. Please help me how can i unbrick my device? Is there any method to unbrick qualcomm based devices?
I had that thought of not installing stuff of another device. But i niether found any custom rom nor recovery for this device. So i decided to just use another device's stuff. Yeah i know that totally crazy idea... but.....whatever when i plug it into PC it does not detect anything but when i plug it in pc after removing battery, its LED starts blinking. When this happened first time... Something like 'Qualcomm msm' was installed but nothing thereafter......
I have messed up with my phone lava iris atom 2x (processor SC7731G)
Every time I power on the phone it boots into recovery mode.
If I try to update through adb sideload zip file, it gives signature verification failed.
Don't know how to flash .pac file (flash file).
phone not detected in windows 10 (usb drivers not working).
In windows 7 the phone drivers are installed and device detected but nothing happens when I use fastboot.
Please guide.
If This is a mtk device U need to flash stock firmware through so flash tool in order to fix bootloop
Wassup aliens!
So I got this gionee M3 and I rooted it with iRoot and tried to flash recovery in nearly every way possible....... I tried using Flashify, Rashr, TWRP manager..... Nothing worked.
1) On Flashify: I kept selecting Flash recovery but the message I get every time is "Error copying the file, please send me the log file".
2) On Rashr and TWRP Manager: They both say they flashed the file but when I boot into recovery all I see is gray screen with a gionee logo. I also lost my stock recovery this way.
3) On PC: My PC never detects my phone as an adb or VCom device........To check for VCom I tried SP Flash Tools..... didn't detects the device. For Adb I tried Adb devices in command prompt but the devices list is empty.
Some info:
I have USB debug mode enabled.
I have stock 5.0.2 android rom with no recovery just factory safe mode through which I can perform some tasks.
If you need any pics or any info just tell me in the comments.
I hope you guys help me.... Been trying for the last 6 days.

Hey i have the same problem. Can you suggest me something regarding this.
A very big question
Hello! I have an argentine copy of the M3, called Hyundai Ultra Energy, same processor, same storage, camera quality, all in the same place. My question is how do I install a custom rom and how do I flash the recovery at first. I use adb commands, but I know that I have to do it with spflash. How is the process? I download the rom, charge the scatter and tilt only in recovery? Would be dangerous? Is more safe to root with King Root?
