I was trying to install a new rom when they asked for a new CWM version. Seemed simple enough, plugged in the flash tool, got the green circle all looks good. Now starts up and says:
TOOL DL image Fail!
uboot is blocking by dl info
And every 15 seconds the screens shuts off and then on again.
So I finaly checked the DA DL All with Check Sum in the upper right corner and reflashed again. However no change the error still appeared. So I tried loading an older CWM that worked. no change.
Then I tried the format option in SP_Flash_Tools with the option to keep to boot partion and now the phone wont boot at all. I can still 'flash it' but nothing I've flashed makes any difference. I won't say its bricked because I do appear to have full USB flashing capabilities, they just don;t seem to do anything...
How can I get it into recovery mode again?
PS This is a Lenovo A820
How to fix - TOOL DL image Fail! uboot is blocking by dl info
Ok I'm really happy to say I solved it, here are the steps as simple as I can make them:
Go here: to needrom.com and look for the A820 option 3. Its got a 3 at the end of the URL. Sorry if someone else could post the link that would be cool. Download only the recovery only.
Using SP_tools (The one you just downloaded) Load the scatter file. This is in the same folder as the SP_Flash Tool you just downloaded.
Power off phone. Remove battery and SD card and sims. Don't connect the phone.
Click the tick box da dl all with checksum
Hit the download button. Waiting for searching then connect the phone.
Green circle, wait 5 seconds, unplug and switch on.
E Viola! Now your phone is rooted and fixed. You might want to install unclemobile tools and update the recovery to something else, cwm 5+ or something. Then you you can install new roms from the recovery mode.

I tried this and all I get is Error 8038. Please help! I also got error DRM FAIL TO LOAD but not again.
Edit 1: I've finally managed to flash the BOOT and RECOVERY after doing a 'Full Format'. But, now the phone is not booting up. Maybe, the battery is very low.

I recently used Odin to update to froyo 2.2 from my eclair 2.1, and it "pass"ed but now my phone goes into recovery mode. Boot screen then recovery, even when its off and begins charging goes straight to recovery.
At recovery it says:
"update media, please wait
E: Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(Invalid argument)
E;copy_dbdata_media: Cant mount SDCARD:
your storage not prepared yet. please usee UI menu for format and reboot"
But UI menu doesnt work, doesnt let me select anything, and download mode wont load so Odin gets stuck at "Setup Connection".
Help?
Thanks!
- try different versions of Odin's this is the most common issue.
- Make sure your using the correct Eclair 2.1 files the ones by Eugene the unbrickable one.
Mostly, try a different ODIN, and the one that works, don't switch from it.
Odin is the only thing keeping my phone good as new, and i dont need any updates on that.
xrider is correct, I would recommend the 1.7 Odin. You can then Odin back by first flashing Eugenes Froyo that does not brick, then back to JFD2.1
you can get all you need in the Stickies
From there you can root and then flash away
good luck,
Thanks for the replys.
But for Odin to work, wouldn't the device need to be in Download Mode? Which would explain why it doesn't go beyond "SetupConnection". I used the same Eclair rom as I did for my previous recovery. But it fails now, I also tried different versions of Odin from 1.0 to 1.7. Oh an Odin recognizes my phone as a COM6, if that means anything.
I might just go ahead and call Tmo and get a new one. I still have insurance and a warranty.
Hmmm...

Wait, if you can't get into Download mode, then how are you getting COM6 on ODIN?
I have no idea. Phone just sits in recovery, I plug in USB and it says
<ID:0/006> Added!!
But when I try flashing anything, it stays at SetupConnection.
When I WAS able to get into download mode, it was COM8.
Wait for more replies, idk the solution. Sorry
Maybe new version of odin?
I really appreciate your help though.
I think it's just bricked. The froyo which I had updated to was probably faulty, causing this to occur. I mean, even the recovery menu is messed up. Up and down are inverted, and power button does nothing. Phone doesn't show charging screen(well it does for a second then go straight to recovery).
I'll just call T-mobile tomorrow. I wouldn't get charged right? I tried updating to THEIR firmware, had they made it OTA this wouldn't have occurred, right?
The fact it sees com 6 or com8 or com 4 really isn't important, sometime mine say com2 sometimes it say 6......... this is unimportant.
Follow this ...this should work, the only other thing I can think of is to get into factory recovery and wipe, cache, and memory, go into advanced and wipe the dalvik, then back to Odin and perform the following:
1. Odin 1.3 or higher I use 1.7 but not real important
2. Have the original JFD Vibrant rom
3. You will need the .pit file (this is for mapping)
4. You will Eugene froyo that does not brick rom.
The order is as follows:
1. Download Eugenes 'Froyo that does not brick' file.
2. Extract the files.
3. Open Odin, plug in your phone, then put it into download mode.
4. load the PIT file in appropriate area.
5. load the .tar file in the PDA area.
6. DO NOT check 're-partition'.
7. Click start, let it finish. Your phone will load and reboot into stock recovery. It will error out again. DONT panic! This is what's supposed to happen.
8. Now, pull your battery.
9. Download the 'True stock 2.1 firmware for the vibrant'.
10. Extract the files.
11. Once again, open Odin, plug in your phone, put into download mode.
12. Load the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.
13. THIS TIME you want to check the 're-partition' box.
14. Now click start, let it finish, and this time your phone will load up just fine! You will have flashed back to the original software. From there, you can do anything !!!
Next root the phone if you are confused about this go to youtube and look up the video by unlocker.com they do a great job showing how it is done.
After all this you can now flash a new rom.
The reason he's getting a COM port without being in D/L mode is because of the secondary bootloader in the sbl.bin. You may just be able to flash JI6.tar without a pit file and get past the Setup Connection
Whoa, nice feedback.
Downloading both Eugenes "Froyo that does not brick" and the JI6.tar.
Will try both methods and reedit my post.
Thanks a lot.
I can't press "Thanks" more than 5 times a day...
UPDATE:
Eh still nothing...Odin gets stuck at SetupConnection.
I believe this will persist until I find a way into download mode. Odin recognizes phone, hence the COM6, but doesn't fully connect since it does not go beyond SetupConnection. The recovery menu also isn't functioning properly, since I can't select anything.
Losing patience with this phone...
I called T-mobile and their sending in a new one.
Told them I was updating and this happened. Do you think I'll get charged?
Well, while you still got time with it...try a different version of ODIN and see if that works... 1.0, 1.3 or 1.7 dunno if there are more
All three versions get stuck at SetupConnection.
I looked into making a JIG, but I only have one USB cord and don't wanna go through the hassle. A JIG would put my phone into download mode, right? Even though it's not really bricked, just completely messed up.
Just now I was messing around with phone, and I got to a different screen!
RST_STAT = 0x1
PMIC_IRQ1 = 0x0
(and some other stuff like that)
Then " POWER RESET OR UNKOWN UPLOAD MODE"
It shows up as COM7 in ODIN But still stuck at SetupCOnnection...grrr
I FIXED IT.
I got the android SDK, and did "adb reboot" which rebooted the phone, and I have froyo and everything.
But ONE problem. T-mobile is sending me a new phone already....what the hell do I do? I can't send this one in, because it's working now.
Nevermind, everytime I rebooted phone it stayed in recovery and I had to always do "adb reboot".
So I did abd reboot download which took me into download mode, but ODIN still stayed at SetupConnection, i took out battery, now I have the indigenous PHONE ! PC error.
NOW I HAVE NO POSSIBLE WAY TO GET INTO DOWNLOAD MODE, Nor have adb connect to phone. No devices are shown when I do "adb devices".
I also tried every variation to get into DL mode, USB, VOl +/-, Battery...etc. Now I think the phone is completely bricked, honestly.

if you look at ODIN while you plug the phone in with that screen you'll notice it giving you a COM port....weird...but you can still ODIN the phone while on that screen. Flash back to JFD from there.
Yeah I know ODIN should recognize it, because it happened before and it did. But this time it's not. I tried different versions of ODIN as well.
tsk tsk ;P lol
u fixed it? or it remains broken ?
I did fix it, partially. It loaded and everything, but sound wasn't working, and volume rocker was inverted, I guess the rom I flashed was corrupted. So I did "adb reboot download" which took me to download mode to go back to JFD stock, and I did ODIN and everything but it stayed at SetupConnection again. I removed battery to put in download mode manually, and now it's bricked. PHONE /!\ PC. PC doesn't recognize it, and I tried every combo to get into download mode.
So no, it's not fixed.
I rooted my device with superoneclick, got the 3e recovery, then got the CWM recovery for galaxyS i9000 through ROM manager(working fine), and then rebooted into recovery and flashed carbonROM for 4.2.2 (the .zip file), along with Gapps for 4.2.2. Now it's stuck at the samsung screen, I can't boot into recovery, taking out the battery doesn't help, and the power button is NOT jammed. I can't restore the backup that I made because I can't go into recovery and my computer is not detecting the device (with all the proper drivers installed). I don't know what to do. Does anybody know how to resolve this issue?
I don't care about the user data (including contacts, messages, etc) that much, if it needs to be wiped. I only want my phone back, with or without the ROM.

Are you still able to get into Download mode? If so then you can use Odin to re-flash the stock factory ROM that came with your phone. I would recommend taking a look at this guide here as well as this video guide here.

the .zip file in the first link is "unavailable in [my] geographical area. I can't use the youtube guide because i can't get into download mode. After not having touched it in several hours, I think the battery ran out, and if I plug it back in, it shows a loading icon that's stuck.
EDIT: I got it to get into download mode, but Odin won't detect it with the COM## thing. I can add the infuse.pit and the PDA md5 thing, but when I start it, it doesn't do anything.

Make sure you have the USB drivers for your phone installed, you can download the drivers for your phone from here. Also before you flash anything to your phone it is essential that is has enough battery charge (70%+ to be on the safe side).
Thanks for all the help! I finally got it to detect my device in Odin. Turns out my drivers weren't working properly, so I re-installed them. It's in the process of reverting to stock now. You are a lifesaver!

can you please tell me how you got it to go into odin. I am stuck at the very same spot.
After factory reset I get "setup wizard has stopped" but I'm not able to flash my rom
Hi all
this is my first post so please be nice to me if I do something wrong.
Ok, where to begin with my long list of problems...
1. I have an Evercoss A28b bought in Indonesia but manufactured in China. It has Mediatek 6972 and SW version is ALPS.JB3.MP.V1.40 (that's what I could find in the phone's factory mode)
2. I rooted it 2 months ago and put all my apps and data on it from my old phone with Titanium Backup. I had some minor problems in the beginning but fixed them all and the phone was running smoothly.
3. This morning I froze "Go Launcher Z" because I didn't like it anymore and wanted to try how my phone looks withour it. Since the moment I froze the app nothing happened. I couldn't access the home screen or the app drawer but only my recently used apps when pressing and holding the home button.
4. I wanted to reboot my phone but it kept booting and booting, saying "android is upgrading" all the time. After one hour I took out the battery and now it's dead.
5. I tried to reset it into factory mode and first it seemed to work because it asked me to do all the settings like language, google account etc. As soon as I was finished a window appeared with "unfortunately setup wizard has stopped" and now I can't even see my homescreen or anything. My screen is black apart from the battery, wifi and SIM icons in the top right corner.
Now, what I tried to do:
1. I googled and found a few solutions saying I should flash my rom. I googled and found the sp flash tool and a rom for my phone.
2. SP Flash Tool did not recognize my phone and there was no scatter file in that ZIP file that I had downloaded.
3. I downloaded MTKdroidtools to try to generate a scatter file from my phone and a lot of different drivers but none of them made my phone connect with DroidTools.
4. So I went back to SP Flash Tool and googled for hours in order to find a scatter file and make my phone connect with SP Flash Tool. I managed to find another rom, this one had a scatter file in it and I also managed somehow to connect my phone with SP Flash Tools. It was only recognized after I had selected the scatter file and pressed the download button though.
5. SP Flash Tools brought an error message saying my pmt has changed and I need a new one or something like that. Unfortunately I can't even re-do this to give you the correct error message because I can not connect my phone to the PC any longer. Everytime I do this with battery or without it keeps connecting and disconnecting all the time.
6. I am at my wits ends and don't know what to do any more.
Please help
My phone model is Micromax Knight 2 E471.
It was working fine but it all happened all of a sudden. I was trying to connect my phone to the computer to access some file. Suddenly, I got a message on my screen that Encryption interrupted with some text and a button to reset. I rebooted the phone but it had the same message and I had no option but to click on the Reset button. From that time until now... it does not want to boot.
Then I searched for it on google and tried to start with two key combinations Power+VolumeUp and Power+VolumeDown. Power+VolumeDown. does not do anything but Power+VolumeUp get me to a recovery screen that says failed to mount /system, /sdcard, /cache and so many things (screenshot attached).
From the recovery option, I tried
1. wipe data/factory reset - doesnt do anything
2. wipe cache partition - doesnt do anything
Then I took it to Micromax service center. They said, OS needs to be reloaded. I paid 250/- and got it reloaded but still the issue was not resolved. Now there is a new problem. When I start the phone, it appears that it is rebooting but there is absolutely nothing on the screen. The screen is completely blank and black. The strange part is that, it keep vibrating after every minute or so which makes me feel that it is caught in a boot loop but nothing is displayed on the screen. The Service center guys says that there could either be a display issue or motherboard issue and in both cases, the hardware cost would be more. But I feel it is a software issue.
I again googled it and got to a page https://firmwarefile.com/micromax-e471 where I downloaded the firmware. The firmware folder had a file "8939_fastboot_all_images" which is a windows batch file. I installed the driver, executed the 8939_fastboot_all_images batchfile and went to the recovery screen I got from Power+VolumeUp key combination. Selected reboot to bootloader. I got lot of things in the ms-dos window but still the problem is unresolved.
I appreciate if someone here could help me what to do next.
Thanks
Something wrong with the mount points, maybe? Have you tried flashing a custom recovery like TWRP?

I cannot do anything with a screen with no display.
Can you tell me how to flash a custom recovery when the phone is in boot loop
Thanks
Your phone seems to have a Snapdragon SOC. Sorry but I'm pretty much useless with that. If it was an mtk you could have removed the battery and use SP Flash tool. Maybe someone else can help you with this.
Good luck.

First, dont post something like "bump", you can get ban.
2nd, if you cant flash, this tool may have. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71705583&postcount=5
This is only one tool can flash rom in this situation. If it not work, it could be hardware issue, not software.
Edit: after install qualcomn usb driver, make sure your phone is turn off, hold volume down button while plug usb cable (some phone need volume up, some need both of them, some doesnt need any button). Remember dont touch power button. If pc detect your phone like Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader, you can using emmc.

Sorry for that!
First of all ToolStudio eMMC Download Tool link does not work. I downloaded the 50MB+ zip file and extracted, it asks for a password which I already put but it doesnt do anything.
Then I downloaded a downgraded version from here https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B7SVwjaFGLv_by1OSlMtaU9tQVE but it does not work. mMMC Download or Multil Download does not show RAM, Boot Image etc. The comments on that page also shows that there are so many people who are unable to do it. Do you know of a reliable download source for ToolStudio eMMC Download Tool?
Or do you have any other solution?
Thanks
AM also facing that problem with e471
Always showing flashing successfully .
But booting into recovery mode..
Need solution dear
Hello all,
First of all, as a disclaimer: I am a total noob in this area. I just got my Ulefone T1, and tried to root it by installing TWRP and then installing SuperSU using TWRP. When I first installed TWRP, it worked and I got into the TWRP recovery menu. However, as the phone had to be wiped, I couldn't install the SuperSU zip anymore. I did a normal reboot to transfer the SuperSU zip to my phone, but when I then tried to turn my phone off and access TWRP, it went to normal recovery mode of my phone. As I wanted to start fresh off again, I went to the settings of my phone and did a factory reset silly.
Now, it is stuck in a bootloop where I can literally do nothing. I cannot access factory mode or recovery mode, all it does is just endlessly boot and turn off. I have managed to turn it off completely, but that's all I can do. Also, the battery is not removable.
Does anyone with a little more knowledge have a suggestion for me? Thanks in advance!
As an update, I got a suggestion to fully drain the battery, but that does not work either. I have tried connecting it to my PC, which is not working, but that was acting weird before. I guess it's just not possible?

I have no idea what software is necessary to do it for your device but you can flash stock rom, if it uses sp tool or something then download stock rom, use sp tool to flash it. Should be OK after that. As I am not familiar with this device I can't give you any other advice other than flashing stock rom.
Any solutions to unbricking/boot looping?
Have anyone found any solutions to unbricking phone??
Mine also did bootlooping after unlocking bootloader.
I was able to flash successfully but screen fussy and unreadable and not able to touch. I am able to hear but lines are on screen.
I have same problem, please, anyone help, I think I used wrong twrp image
Ulefone T1 Bootloop solution 2019.
I was able to fix the bootloop of my ulefone t1, just flash it with sp flash tool by following this guide:
1. Download the Stock Firmware on your personal computer.
2. Install the USB MTK Drivers (skip if you have it already installed).
3. Download and Launch the Smart Phone Flash Tool (SP Flash Tool)
4. Click the Scatter-loading button to navigate to the stock Rom you just downloaded.
5. Select the Scatter File from the extracted Stock Firmware on your computer.
6. Select the Download Only in the SP flash tool option
7. Click the Download button to start the Formating process.
8. Connect your device via USB to the computer>> holding volume + and volume – button of your device at the same time or holding power button only so that the flashing process will starting working
9. Patiently wait for your device to be formatted.
10. After the formatting is done, a Big Green button will pop up on the SP Flash to show that.
11. Unplug your device and boot it up.
12. If you have a boot loop after booting your device, boot into recovery mode and do a factory reset.
13. Voila, you are all good.
Very important step 8 of the guide.
