Hello to all community,
strange things happened here... I use a Star H920+ phone. I had some problems with Bluetooth and Wifi, so i decided to flash rom again. I downloaded the rom from needrom dot com. (As new user, i cannot post the full url yet)
I used Smart Flash Tools to do the job. Firstly i had some difficulties getting some errors. After some search, i used MtkDroidTools and i got the right sizes for memory and write them at scatter file. The procedure went well and i got a green circle at Flash Tool.
And that's it...
After that, i get the absolute Black. But... the strange thing is that the Windows detects the phone. I tried every combination to get into recovery mode, but nothing. Only black screen.
I tried Flash Tools again to flash it with the same or an older rom, but after the some seconds, the application is not responding and Windows says that the Smart Flash Tools application has stopped responding and must be closed.
MtkDroidTools doesn't recognized the phone now.
But, as i have it connected with the pc, the sound of plug and unplug a device is heared all the time. ( Maybe it is rebooting continuously )
I hope that the hoping thing is that Windows detects the phone, but i cannot do anything more...
Do you have any idea to propose me ?
Thank you very much,
Periklis

Hi! I really head your help!! I looked a lot around and followed lots of guides on how to revive my phone, but i've some big issue with it and i really hope that someone here may help me...
The Hard Brick (it won't turn on, it won't charge, it seems like he's totally dead) occurred the other day, i was trying to open googlemaps and the SP was really slow, so i turned it off, and then i wasn't able to turn it on again, at first it was stucked at the screen with the logo (before the splash animation, the logo that you can't normally change) then i managed to turn it on after 2 or 3 times taking off the SD card, but i got a corrupted homescreen, i turned it off again and then, after 2 or 3 times, i got the Hard Brick!!
Probably in my last attempts i created a bounch of errors in the rom that bricked my phone.
Here's what i've done to revive it:
- SPFlashTool 1332.0.187
- official drivers, recovery, rom, etc, from the jiayu.es website.
- removed the battery, manually installed the drivers.
- with spft i loaded the scatter file of the official rom and started the format:
the phone is recognised as Mediatek USB VCOM (Android) (COM3)
i always got the error: S_COM_PORT_OPEN_FAIL (1013)/B] (with every option available)
I tryied to download only the preloader.bin and the recovery.img but i recive the same error.
- someone give me an advice: to remove every old driver for the phone and leave the SPFlashTool to recognise the phone forcing the installation of the drivers. And i really don't get how to do it, the windows update automatically detect the device, if i stop the windows update i simply get an unknown device, the SPFT don't have a chance to recognise it and force the installation of the drivers.
Does anyone of you have a solution, a similar problem, a way to revive my cellphone?
I really can't effort another one XD

There is a guide right here
I already tryied to revive my phone with this guide, but with no success...
I was thinking that maybe someone can show me the right driver (with all the package of driver that i find i always have no idea which one i've to install)
And maybe someone already tryied to revive a jiayu g4a and know the name of the right preloader, 'cause apparently what i need to do is to download into the SP the right preloader to revive it...
Hello guys, it's nice to be part of this great community. My English are not that good so please be patient with my explanations.
Well , I'm quite desperate here. A friend of mine gave me this phone (Xiaomi Redmi 1) bricked.
First of all the mobile can't boot, it says tool dl image fail. Even worst I can't even select the options in the boot menu, the tool dl image fail appears again. That means the memory is almost empty...
According to my experience the solution was only 1, Flash tools.
But again , I tried the Firmware/Update option of these ROMs: Xiaomi Hongmi WCDMA (HM2013023_images_JHBCNAL5.0_4.2)/ TD (Hongmi_images_HBJ2.02_4.2) - unbrick 5.0 and....NOTHING!
If I choose the download option but the bar reaches only 1% and theen I have this : s_ft_download_fail (4008). I tried the HM2013023_images_JHBCNAH4.0_4.2 but with the same results.
An extra detail is that IF I choose the format option, althought it doesn't complete...my mobile doesn't open after that. In order to be working again, I just have to choose the download option (till the 1%) and the it boots with the above problems.
To be more clear I installed the necessary drivers, I removed them, I installed them again...NOTHING. I changed the USB port, the same results..
An interesting quotation is that if I try to connect the device with a different USB cable that the original, the pc doesn't even recognize it (mobile). Also, I've noticed that the flash tools cannot install these (from the scatter) : Android, Cache, UserData & Fat.
As for the CMW Recovery ... no luck at all. They are all in image format which means, I can not install it.
Any help will be appreciated....althought I'm pretty sure the phone is 99% dead..
Any news?

I have the phone (hongmi) bricked too....

My phone sometimes start (but goes in black screen quickly) often NO.... do you have any information for me? Or some other forum that can I check)
Tnx in advance
So I got a cheap android tablet and I wanted to root it. I was successful so I decided to install TWRP. I searched for my specific model and found an image on a german forum. I downloaded and flashed it and it got stuck in a reboot loop. So I looked at the image and it was for the QV1030. I tried to get it into recovery but couldn't. Many sources told me to hold Vol Up and Lock, and I tried this and more. Nothing would make it enter recovery mode. Then I read about SP Flash Tool and found the stock rom for the tablet and decided I would try to flash that. It kept coming up with an error, and every source online told me to format the flash except for the bootloader and then I could flash it. So I did. Now it doesn't show anything on screen, and SP Flash Tool comes up with error 6045. But it does show up in device manager under com ports as, "MediaTek USB Port" so I think I can still do something about it. I don't have any backups. I don't know what I'm doing. I require assistance please.
So I reflashed the entire backup and it come up with no error. The logo comes up and it plays the chime. The logo does this little shimmer effect and once it gets to this screen, it shimmers indefinitely. If I plug it in, it begins installing a driver and then stops part way through.

I left it for about 5 minutes and it finished the driver. I thought it froze but I was wrong. It shows up now on device manager under Portable Devices as, "MTP USB Device". I tried to see if it was listed as a device by ADB. It is not. Lets just say I've already learned a thing or two about this stuff. Good thing I did it on an 80 dollar chinese tablet and not my HTC One M9

I got it to work again mostly. So I realized that I wasn't flashing the whole backup. Some things didn't have a path and I had to set it manualy. Now it has CFW for some reason, but I reset it and it works now. The only thing is WiFi is not turning on. Any ideas about that?

I actually want to upgrade this from Android 4.2.2 to a more recent version. Do you guys have any ideas about that?
So I've come to the conclusion that while the device is no longer bricked, the current installation is written over the old one and things are conflicting. I know this because I looked through the cache and found filenames referring to apps I had installed before breaking it. So would the solution be to wipe the system partition and reflash the system.img so everything is fresh? Or does the problem lie elsewhere.
I formated the system partition, used SP Flasher to flash system.img and then did a factory reset. The issue has still not been solved. And now that I have done that, I don't have root access anymore. Framaroot says it was successful and I restart and check root explorer on ES File Explorer and it doesn't work.
I gained root access using a different method. However the WiFi still doesn't work. I think it may be that the mac address information was from the backup I flashed from the internet, and therefore doesn't match. I found a guide that tells me how to hex edit a file and put in my real mac address, but it's unavailable under wifi. I don't have the sticker on the back that says it either. How else can I find it?
Turns out the mac address can be anything. I used SN Write tool and an AB DB for my chipset and it still didn't solve the problem. I have no idea what to do. Can anyone help me?
I fixed the issue by grabbing a different backup from some russian website and flashing the system.img and secro.img to it. It now works fine 100%. Thanks
help - link

Hey man! I have the same problems with my QV 830. Can you give me the link for system.img and secro.img, please?
Hello guys! I have a problem with one phone that i am trying to fix for someone and I feel sooo, sooo completely lost in all of this as I know almost nothing about this. The cell phone model that is in question is Alcatel One Touch Pop C3-4033x.
It seems to be using a Mediatek chipset and I was reading some of your advices here & there and tried using the program called SP FlashTools but it always resulted in error, in the end. It seems that something is wrong with this phones emmc flash memory. So, I tried transfering some files as a zip files to the SD-card and tried to apply update from it, but it said always: Installation aborted. And then, I have tried looking for a way to flash stock firmware of that specific Alcatel model on SD-card, but I just don't have any clue how to do it, if it is possible, even. Maybe I should just give up trying?
Oh, I almost forgot to write that the phone doesn't have the access to Android OS and USB debugging isn't turned on, because computer doesn't seem to list it and I don't know if there any button combinations that Alcatel uses for this model to get into that fastboot or adb mode, even though have installed mediatek drivers. It can only get into Android System Recovery 3e. That seems to be everything, I think, at least.
Oh guys, I am so, so, so sorry if I am bothering you with this. I just didn't know what or where else to ask this. Thank you sooo much!
Hi download those files:
Firmware:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/bpm4ibsbmr4q6nc/OT-4033X-Without_Mobilis_logo__BY_GSMSERVE.rar/file
SP Flash tool:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603870440
Driver:
https://mega.nz/#!8VYkQCxD!fkhTrZwFFILDAglO1cR_8pIM4Cel52brZ7RB6QZoc6o
Once you downloaded all right driver open SP flash tool and add Scatter file
MT6572_Android_scatter.txt
Click on Download , connect your phone without battery and see if the process is going on if not try again with battery inside.
If you end up with error do the same thing but now first do Format then after is Finish do Download. Good luck ...
It still displays error :/

I have tried to do everything like you have said, but it still displays error when i press the Download button, and it displays that error after some seconds pass and also the same happens hen i try to use the Format function. This is the error it displays when i tried with the download button: BROM ERROR: S_DA_SDMMC_WRITE_FAILED (3149)
And this is the same error it displayed when i tried using the Format function: S_DA_SDMMC_WRITE_FAILED (3149)
i am so, so sorry for bothering with this.

Try with another version of SP Flash tool little bit newest .
Hi everyone. As I said on a former post, I have an Alcatel 1t 7 tablet; I need its stock recovery image, but even stock firmware is getting impossible to find. I mean, apparently there are firmware for that reference of tablet, but what happens, is that there are several models that share the same physical appearance, but have different hardware, so, they have different firmware, and by that reason, their firmware don't work for my tablet. Anyway...
The fact is, looking that its original firmware is not available on the internet, at least publicly; I'm trying to reflash my tablet by using alcatel's tool called "Alcatel Mobile Upgrade", a tool that I don't guess, would be unknown for many of you. So as I said, I'm trying to reflash it with it (and in the process, restore stock recovery, I hope). So I installed MTK drivers, installed the version recommended for this tablet, followed program's instructions, but when I reach step 2 of 4, the program warns me saying this: "Read terminal information failed. Unplug device, remove the device battery and plug it again - Repeat step 2 and try again".
The issue is, that its battery is internal, not removable; even, is soldered to the board. And I must add, that at first, when I bought this tablet and began to "experiment" with it, I was using SP flash tool, and it was giving me almost the same warning that Alcatel mobile upgrade, but later I discovered what that was a fail of the used sp flash tool version. On a webpage, someone recommended a specific version of sp flash tool to fix that issue; I mean, that I could download firmware to the device without having to "unplug battery"; and It worked.
So first ¿How can upgrade my tablet by using that program?¿What am I doing wrong?¿ Which device must appear under device manager, to it can work?¿mtk usb port, Mediatek DA usb VCOM, Android preloader, or which one? And second, ¿Could be this problem, due to alcatel's mobile upgrade version?
let battery drain to make sure device is powered off. you only have preloader mode for a second - within this time pick up in device manager and install preloader drivers.
if drivers installed correctly, first start flashing, then connect phone. flash tool will keep device in preloader mode for the flashing time period

Thank you for replying. Definitely using Alcatel mobile upgrade is not an option, at least to me. I mean, I couldn't make it work in any way. "Fortunately", after an exhaustive search, I could find a post on internet, that recommended for a similar issue, to use Sugar MTK; the publisher shared this program and its credentials, for can use it . So I downloaded and used it, and I could restore my original stock. Now my issue is to port it to TWRP, but now I'm gonna to write a new post about it.
link me to the sugarmtk
