Lenovo A660 URGENT - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello I'm new to this scene and I apologize I don't really know what I am doing.
I ordered the A660 from an amazon seller and I could not get the phone to show anything past the Lenovo Logo upon power on. I could get into the android recovery but in the internal memory were only empty folders. I don't yet have a micro SD yet so I proceeded to search the internet for a way to get my phone working. I came across several forums about flashing and what not and proceeded to download and installed MediaTek DA USB VCOM port drivers and smartphone Multi-port download tool [v3.1228.00-A2012.08.03]
I proceeded to try to get the phone to connect to windows so it could be connected. I got a 'dl error' message in super multi-port tool (see pic 1) and am now worried that I bricked my new phone. PLEASE say it ain't so. It still shows up in device manager for a while when I plug it back in but does not charge or bring up the Lenovo branding on the phone anymore. Pic below represents where I am at.
**Update***
Seconds pic shows what sp flash tool says.

your issue is not SW
it is HW
i had same issue, they why the seal the phone in cheep price, as it have HW issue.
if you take the battery and charger with any multiply battery charger, the phone will work.
issue the phone dose nt charge anymore by it self

[Q] USB connection problem

Hi. I have a problem here. Is it possible to flash new rom directly through bootloader, my activesync is not working properly, and something is wrong with my usb connection - when I connect my device to PC via usb, in bootloading mode - it gets connected and disconnnected about 50 times in one minute, no .RUU is able to recognize it for long enough to complete the instalation. I've tried to reinstall the activesync, did hard reset of my phone, deleted relationships - but no luck. What worries me most is that usb connection problem. It's only with HD2, all other devices connect properly. Anyone knows the answer, what should I do in order to fix that? P.S I always remove sim and sd card, and disable my antivirus programs and firewalls during my flashes....
I bricked it, finally...
And now - I'm stuck...seemed I finally got connected via usb through bootloader for longer than two minutes, so I started fleshing my radio... and it got disconnected after a minute by itself again, in the midllle of the process...Now, there's an upgrade rom code error on green field of my bootloader, telling me to try again, only - I can't do recovery, cause my usb connection gets on/off 50 times a minute, whenever I try to do the recovery .... Any suggestions?

Possible solution, you should try different USB ports of your PC.
Always make sure your battery capacity above 50%.
If you don't have HSPL installed, you should only flash the CORRECT OFFICIAL STOCK ROM (go to htc website).
Other alternative, you can flash via micro sd card.
Download the CORRECT OFFICIAL STOCK ROM and extract it using either 7zip or winrar. Find the file named: RUU_signed.nbh
Rename it to: leoimg.nbh
Copy it to the root of micro sd card. Insert it to the phone.
Now, make sure you turn off the phone.
Then, press at the same time, the volume down and power on button, this will bring you to the boot loader.
Follow the onscreen instruction.
Good luck
Thanks for the reply...I have HSPL 2.08, it was fully charged, and was flashing radio 2.12. I was planing to flash a custom rom after words. I've tried about 8 usb ports on my computer, and always the same thing - endless connect/disconnect game, or not connected at all... If I get lucky - it will turn out to be only usb cable, but if I'm not and if it is usb port on my HD2 - I'm doomed, I might as well throw it to the garbage, cause replacement of the motherbord cost as much as new phone ... And, I'm afraid - that's the strongest possibility, I never had a problem charging a phone before this, but a member here explained me that usb port on HD2 has 4 pins, 2 for charging and 2 for data transfer. And that it seems - my data pins are ****ed.. ... So, anyway, I'm gonna try flashing this radio and new rom from sd card, but how am I gonna charge my phone now, in order to do that (I've been trying to establish connection to pc from my bootloader all night, so battery must be low by now) cause when it's turned on and put to charge warning comes up on that black screen: Software update failed, please try again - and the led for charging battery never turns on ?

Yeah it sounds like your USB port on your HD2 is bad. If your HD2 is still under warranty I flash the official stock ROM via SD card so you are back to complete stock and good for warranty repair. Also so you know if you bought your HD2 secound hand if it was still under warranty when you bought it the warranty is transferable.
Ok people, I've sorted it out ... Lucky me - no faulty usb port on HD2, no faulty cable, and, no faulty HD2 ... I've flashed a different radio from sd card, and also rom, and now - connectivity with my pc is - never better ... Even ActiveSync is working like it hasn't been in 6 months, hahahhhh ... Point is - it was my pc punishing me for playing with it's registry, few nights before ... I was really confused, cause HD7 had excellent connectivity with my pc, but HD2 really bad, so I really thought there was something wrong with my beloved HD2 ... Than, I remembered I've messed with my registry the other night, and deleting some non-existing pocket pc paths in it... So, I repaired my windows on pc, and now everything works like a charm .... What can I say - curiosity can have very high price, sometimes .... But - fortunately, I'm as lucky, as it gets ...

Urgent Help Please !

Hi , guy's , i cant find any other solutions on the net. i have an s6 edge that can't be recognized by the pc or mac, i tried everything all drivers, smart switch , kies, different pc's and mac, different cables, debugging mode on and off , but nothing worked, i even changed the entire USB-dock of the phone thinking it was faulty by a new one but its the same thing ( not recognized ) and by the way the phone can't " rapid-charge " both on the old and new usb-dock's , I tried the same aukey fast charging adapter on another s6 and it worked , my last hope now is the battery i know it may sound a little bit ridiculous but the phone has been exposed too much to hot sun the last summer so the battery inflated and pushed the back cover of my s6 edge , i thought maybe somehow it's because of this incident that the phone is not recognized by the pc , and that it couldn't get the "rapid-charging "
( note : that i had never connected the phone to a pc or had a rapid-charging adapter before the battery incident, so i couldn't know if the phone worked on the pc or could rapid-charge before or not "when the battery was ok ") .
am going to replace it ( the battery )in 3 days from the posting date of this thread and see what happens but please if you have a solution just let me now as soon as possible
Thank you very much ! .
In what condition is your phone? Does it work? Or is it dead or half dead?
Samsung Kies doesn't work anymore for S6 and S6 Edge!
S6 and s6 Edge = Smart Switch.
Enable smart switch on your device first before plugging it into a computer..
By the way, why do you even want to use Smart Switch or Kies or whatever?
What is your issue?
Btw, if you knew that your battery was inflated? Then why did you replaced the USB port instead of the battery?
The USB port should be long lasting for aslong as you haven't spilled anything on it or damaged it in one way or another, you couldn't damage the USB port unknowingly..
Hi, first of all thank you for your answer.
So my phone is in perfect condition and work great exept for the problem that i had mentionned above , i didn't know that kies does not work anymore, and i didn't know that i must enable smart switch on my phone first, i just knew that you can install it on pc (so it can install the samsung drivers) then you plug your device, my issue is that my phone get detected but does not get recognized by the pc like i mentionned above i did not know that the battery was inflated only after when i opened the phone to change the usb dock that i though was faulty because the phone did not want to sync with any pc . By the way i did change the battery by a new one today but the phone still wont sync and it still refuse to fast charge, i tried everything i don't know what to do anymore.
Thank you.
1st thing you must do to get the device to be detected by your computer, and so that you could get into your phone files through my computer is to download the drivers, they come with samsung kies, so you probably already have them installed.
2. Go into your computer task manager and make sure that Kies and Smart Switch are NOT RUNNING.
3. Go download official Odin 3.10.6 on this very website (XDA).
4. Run Odin as Administrator.
5. Put your device into download mode (push volume down, home and power button at the same time.)
6. Connect your device to your computer.
If Odin detected the phone and the tab turns blue? Which it should undoubtedly! UNLESS you haven't installed the drivers or your device isn't in Download mode.
7. Disconnect your device and AGAIN (push volume down, home and power button at the same time to get out of download mode.)
8. Restart your device as usual, let it boot up. In the meanwhile close Odin!
9. Do not open any Samsung program on your computer, once your device is rebooted, connect it to your computer as usual.
10. Go to "my computer" and look if you can see your device. (which should be the case)
Watch this video to enable Smart Switch on your device;
https://youtu.be/gebkpr6pMXs
You have changed the battery and dock, so this might be an uncommon software issue. So you probably want to flash your device so that you could get your fast charger to work again?
Don't become too desperate for such a minor issue, it's better to be safe than sorry.
Is your device rooted? If so you have probably already tripped Knox. In that case you would be better off using Odin to flash your device back to stock.
Note: Smart Switch doesn't flash the same rom unto your device, it might flash a rom of a different country.
(keeping in mind that i've read somewhere that Smart Switch might even trip Knox while flashing a device)
Everything is at your own risk, just as all of us.
Let us know how it goes.

I guess that your problem is solved.
For ANYONE who reads this;
When YOU get help on XDA or anywhere else and your problem is solved thanks to the help given, you MUST LEAVE A POST ON THE PAGE FOR OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM TO SEE!
DONT BE SELFISH!
Because many people might have the same problem, and many HELPFUL PEOPLE on XDA have stopped helping YOU simply because most of you are selfish and unthankful!
IF A TOPIC ISN'T CLOSED, PEOPLE WILL START NEW TOPICS WITH THE SAME QUESTIONS AND HELPFUL PEOPLE LIKE ME WILL FALL INTO REPETITION WHICH WON'T LAST VERY LONG!!
You people should remember, that you will UNDOUBTEDLY need help in the future and you won't get any help, and karma will make sure of that.
(too deen too daan!)
Be good and honest, don't go with the flow!
am sorry for the late answer but i was on a work trip and i left my s6 at home , just got home tonight , am gonna try this tomorrow and let you informed , thank you for your help

Ematic EGS-102 stuck on logo screen; computer doesn't see it when connected with USB

Hello,
I have a rooted Ematic EGS-102. Following some instructions to swap my internal sd with the external one (as the memory where the apps' data get downloaded to was only 500MBs), I believe I have typed something incorrectly inside the vold.fstab file, because after rebooting my tablet it's forever stuck on the logo screen. This is my first android tablet so please bear with me. The solution that comes to mind is to open the root files by some program on my PC and edit the vold.fstab file back (I even have a backed up version of it from a few weeks earlier), or even flash a new ROM. Now, the problem is, my computer cannot see my tablet when I connect it through USB. At all. Back before when the tablet was fine, I could use the USB to transfer files to and from my computer, but after I killed my tablet, my computer doesn't even make the sound which indicates that a USB device has been connected.
I have tried changing the USB cable and the port where I connect it to (never mind that the same cable and port work with other devices), to no avail. Having given up on the USB method working, I decided to follow some instructions on installing a custom ROM that has worked on EGS-004, and according to the one who posted that, would work on other variants such as EGS-102. Basically It was steps to installing the ROM from the external card through Recovery mode, which I followed thoroughly to no avail. The tablet still gets stuck on the "ematic" logo start screen.
I've noticed that in the Device Manager my tablet is displayed as "USB Device(VID_1f3a_PID_efe8)" with a yellow triangle mark indicating that it's not working properly (code 10). I tried searching that error code and trying all the solutions I found to no avail, including updating the driver (just refuses to update and keeps telling me that my driver is up to date.)
Sadly all the other methods that would have a decent shot at working (Root explorer on PC, android recovery program, even a flash EGS-004 firmware method on ematic's website) requires USB. I'm out of solutions, and unless I can get the USB to work somehow, or find out why the ROM method didn't work, my tablet would officially be dead. I'm utterly miserable that such a stupid mistake on my part ruined my tablet, and I have no way of buying another (broke student here) or returning it (out of warranty and I'm pretty sure I voided it anyway). I would absolutely appreciate any help, and thanks in advance.
Edit: It's stuck on logo screen, not a bootloop. I'm terribly sorry for this confusion, my head isn't straight right now.
Still haven't found a solution :/

Wisky 3G068i 9,7" w8.1bing->w10 fail. Error message, cannot continue. unusable.Urgent

Wisky 3G068i 9,7" w8.1bing->w10 fail. Error message, cannot continue. unusable.Urgent
Hey,
I got Wisky 3G068i 9,7" w8.1bing tablet yesterday.
It was reset to factory settings. After getting things going, it worked fine with win8.1 and updated itself. Then asked do I want to update to win 10 and after reading and ppl saying its better(and i dont really like win 8) I updated it throught windows own update screen.
After night of installing it, it was stuck on 95% (took hellish long time) and had error message on it "please install extrenal removable media and press ok" (its in finnish so translation might not be correct but you get the point)
I tried clicking yes, no affect. Then removed card, put it back in and it started to revert itself back to win 8.1 after saying not enough room or some error(cant remember correct anymore).
It reverted approx 8 hours then that error came again and now its stuck on it, it wont do anything.
I tried to create win10 install to micro SD with win10 media creation tool but it wont boot from it. It boots up, wisky logo is seen and then rolls loading dot for while, then flashes some screen like command screen, very fast, I cant read what its doing and the error is back.
What can I do? there must be some way to get to reinstall of windows 8.1bing or win10 but how? I dont know does tablets have bios or how to get to it, or how do even get it to boot up some install media.
Been googling another 8 hour but i just cannot find anything that would help my situation.
How can I force it to boot from microSD or do I need to get some microusb-female usb adapter for usb stick? I have a USB hub and throught it i was able to install the win10 installation to usb stick and microsd but idk does the tablet understand that hub(and read from it the usb stick)
i have years of experience with pc's but with tablets i dont really have any.
Tablet has 3 puttons: power on/off and volume up/down
Since I dont have manual, i dont know how to do any resets on it or anything and seller did not have one and maker is chinese and hasnt answered me.
I found old posts on internet saying ppl did get the win10 to install but none posted how they did it.
tablet has:
2gb ram
16gb harddrive
microSD port where I have 64Gb brand new Kingston class10(it works even it says on specs 32gb is biggest)
3.5mm port and micro HDMI port.
Please any help is useful and Im forever gracious to whomever can help me fix it! heck i even buy you a beer if possible
