For months now I've been roaming around forums to forums exploring about android and what other things my phone can do.
Mostly I've enjoyed installing ROM's of different kinds, MOD's that are exceeding my expectations with the capabilities of android.
And of course I'm also a fan of different styles of recoveries.
Anyway, to make the story short, something bad happened this morning, my phone started to act so different,
here's a list of things that occurred out of the blue:
1. The upper part of the phone is constantly gaining heat whenever its charging which might be the cause of no.2
2. While charging, the phone will suddenly restart itself. (notice this happened whenever i lock the screen off or the screen will go sleep)
3. When no.2 happens, phone finish booting up, for a few (like 2) seconds the home button become unresponsive.
4. My battery dropped from 40% down to 25%, freshly booted and no apps opened.
Since this things are quite affecting my daily use of my phone, I've searched and searched and searched the www ....... hmmm....No luck......
everybody have their different opinions about each problem and trust me I've tried every peace of advice i get from people
that are trying to help but still the same problem. Some say that it could be a hardware problem,
some say "close some apps, its causing the battery to heat and cause damage".
And it all boils down to one solution...... "BRING THAT THING TO THE SERVICE CENTER"
I know no one would bother reading this but... just in case...
I need to bring my phone to the Service Center to have it fixed.
but my phone is rooted and needs to be un-rooted and cleaned up.
But i don't have a copy of my stock recovery image.
To anyone who's kind enough,
kindly post a copy of the stock recovery for MY PHONE A919i.
or if its the same as A116's stock recovery, that would do.
A lot of phone's had experienced the same.
When it comes to hardware problems,
people like me are very limited with skills that could solve this problem.
and you can never tell when you'll need to bring your phone onto service centers.
Thanks for reading. and also, don't forget my stock recovery.. hehehehe...

Thank you for this... for a while i've forgot about that thread..
I got all the things i need, i'm just looking for the stock recovery for My Phone A919i
Or my question is, do mmx a116 has the same recovery?
Or if I flashed my Stock ROM (which i got from the company My Phone) with SP_Tools will it include the stock recovery?
Cause the last time i used the SP_Tools it was a failure. Not sure why.. tried latest version.
Will try again..
Thank you!
Try this you can get stock recovery from here

That's fine, i'll keep on searching.. i think the site your talking about is the MyPhone Developers site.
Unfortunately that site has been down for a couple of weeks now.
In any case, thank you so much for your help. I Appreciate it.
Will keep on looking.....
Is your warranty still valid? Search the group called myphone a919i duo/ micromax a116 hd.. Look for for files, i believe we have stock rom there for myphone, the 4.1.2 version.
Have you tried using different usb cable/charger?

Yes of course my warranty is still valid. I've searched for stock ROM's but cannot find any,
that have the original recovery image of MyPhone A919i.
The myphoneph.com developers site is already gone. not sure what happened to it.
Anyway, i got a working stock recovery but i'm not really sure if it's the same as the one that i have before.
As always, Thank you for your suggestions.

Searching the internet I came here to change the rom of my phone, use the hard reset and did not have any problem in the process, then asks me to restart the phone, restarted, and when a screen turns white and does not come out of it, no more than anything.
I'm a little desperate now, I know there is a high-value mobile but it cost me to raise the money to buy it, I hope you have a solution and can help me.
From already thank you very much
PS: sorry for my bad English, I am South American
Sounds like you flashed and incompatable ROM or didn't use hard_spl either way go over to the htc official website - click support find your device and it will list some stock ROMs download an official ROM using the S/N from underneath the battery - Make sure the battery has plenty of charge - plug into your PC and load the stock htc ROM file this should take you through all the standard ROM flash info and will then flash the stock ROM onto your device. Hopefully this will flash back to stock for you and no more white screen.
Good luck and let us know how it went

I think that what you say is only for original phone htc diamond 2, since according to official rom I read are for the real htc diamond 2.
The mine is not original, as it says is a Chinese clone t5388i, please follow the screen in white, would greatly appreciate if someone helps me out of this problem is quite afflicted.
Again sorry for my bad English
sorry missed the clone bit on your topic . I don't have a clone myself so no ideas if the hard reset works. Might be a good idea to post which ROM you flashed to it
good day
the mobile screen just stayed white and does not know how I can flash now, there will be someone who has been the same and have a solution? I appreciate it, I would be very helpful.
Greetings
HTC_NEW, please check this topic. It's dedicated to the clone phones (except the T5388++ who has it's own topic)
There is a tool called k3AID available who could help you. It's posted in that topic about 50 posts ago. I have a copy if you need it.
There is also another possibility to do a blind flash. This means the screen is not working but the phone can still be flashed. First thing is get the correct firmware for your phone because each time you flash the phone can get bricked / defect.
If my feedback helps you to solve your problem, please give me a thanks on the post.

I enter the program is that you give to download mode and
then I get 'EU entry Not calibration mode! (Mode =

help, thanks from now!
hello
I finally entered the discharge mode and while carrying on the idt went for something to eat when I returned I showed up he was 100% complete, the phone went off and did not catch more! Does anyone know it could happen? Is there any way to restart?
please help

@HTC_NEW: Did you do the following steps according to reeprich instructions? What was the end result?
I did read that you used the calibration menu but I expect that you should use the download firmware menu. Is that available? ( I had the software installed but my virus scanner complained that there is a virus in the tmp file...) What's more important if your phone does not work anymore... Please be aware that this is a possible virus.
Removing the battery for a couple of minutes can help for restarting the phone.

I have done the same thing with my t5388i clone from china.
I tryed to flah the ROM and now I have the white screen.
I used the SOLONOMI t5388i rom, and now it is BRICK - white screen.
Did you get your phone working back ?
Now i´m trying to use other ROM´s , but until now no success.

P.S.Please remember, flashing your phone with a wrong ROM is the safest way to brick (damage) it. So do not do it if it isn’t really necessary!

So I had previously rooted my SGSII, and decided to try installing CM7 on it. I used CWM Recovery and ran it off the SD card, and everything appeared to work fine. I think I had a bad/not fully functioning CWM or something, as it didn't list an option to backup anything (I'm guessing because I flashed the stock kernel after rooting?) Anyway, it will no longer boot. I can access download mode, but Odin fails everytime I try to flash anything back on there. When I try to boot my phone, I just get a "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" error.
EDIT: I just tried again as I was writing this, after rebooting, reinstalling my drivers and rebooting my computer. I was able to get the Firmware to flash properly in Odin. Now I have my phone booting and getting stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100 splash screen... Doesn't seem to go any further than that though, unfortunately.
Any ideas what I can do? Is it possible that I need re-flash a bootloader or something ??
Any help would be supremely appreciated!
So I was just trying to re-install the Kernel, using the CF unsecured kernel, and it failed, but when I try to go into recovery mode, it looks as though it managed to install CWM Recovery. I have no idea what to do from here, and am sort of afraid to do anything for fear or bricking the phone completely...
I'm hoping someone out there knows how to fix this, I feel like such a tool
As long as you can get into download-mode, your phone isn't bricked.
If you switch from or to a TouchWiz-based ROM, you have to do a full-wipe in the recovery.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Go back to stock first via download mode via odin
Nah you're good. Similar thing happened to me at my first flashing attempt. Get your stock firmware from Intratech's thread, put the phone into download mode & flash the firmware via Odin.
Then maybe have another go at rooting the phone with the matching CFRoot kernel.

yes, if you can still go in download mode it's no so difficult..this "small brick" it's on of "Android things to do" once in your SGS2 life
Hi guys. I'm in a worst situation. As my phone after a failed ODIN downgrade from Android 2.3.6 to one stock kernel is completelly dead - it doesn't boot anymore - not even managed to put it back into download mode or revert to fact defaults (no keys, no lights not even battery charging displayed when pluged in) - tryed the USB jig also. Nothing worked.
The question is: Will Samsung manage to repair and how much will it cost - an average ammount offcourse. Because I guess it's out of the question to be considered a warranty issue. I guess it will be visible somebody have done smth to the ROM by a software approach....
This is the short story because I would bore you to discuss all the things I have been through - it was only my faoult out of stupidity
HELP!
I don't see why Samsung wouldn't fix it ? As to how much they'll charge you, I think you'll find that will vary from country to country (labour costs being variable, etc). No, I don't think you'll be able to have it repaired under warranty.
You might want to look at having it JTAG repaired by someone other than Samsung. This will possibly be cheaper than having Samsung repair it. Do a search on here/Google.

Thank you very much. I have searched alot to actually understand - unfortunatelly for me it will cost... I saw on youtube a JTAG in action right now (cannot post the link yet). I understand now it is the only way. I'll keep you posted guys. Tomorrow I'll go to service.
I'm sorry it's going to cost Alex. A difficult thing to happen, I know
Here's a link for a JTAG repairer in the US who is also a member here, tho I see you've already found one. I'm sure doing it this way will be cheaper/probably faster than having Samsung do the repair as well.

Thax. Funny thing is that this is exactly the thing I found - the same mobiletechvideos in US Now I allready have an ideea of how much should cost that. Hopefully I'll find a local GSM repair shop with the posibilitty to unbrick it cheep - or at least not much than 50USD - in local currency ofcource.
I'm still thinking if it is possible to use an ATMEL copy process - like in the old times for EEPROMS - I have done that in the past. In theory it might work but I will never do it - alredy scared about what happened to my beloved droid.
Thx again Mistah and have a gr8 day and a wonderfull new 2012!
Yeah I've seen a report or two on here from people who have used his service & have been happy. Must admit I found his page when thought I'd bricked my phone after my first flash attempt messed up. Yeah you might be able to get it done cheaper somewhere local, and that will mean less time without the phone for you without the phone in mail from you to the US & back again.
Let us know how you get on, your experience will be a good guide for people in future who have the same problems as you.
No probs man, happy to give you the little help I did. You too Alex Hope you have a great year & you get your phone back & working soon

Hello again. Solved right now. The service didn't charged me at all - I was kind of lucky after all. Unfortunately there are still some issues I have from the start. I'll keep on digging - software related.
hey all, as you know i was trying to port full sense for desire x dual sim community. ive already searched for custom ROM for desire x dual sim on that Chinese market community web site..no luck there wasn't any full jb sense ROM for dual sim dx.
so i ported it myself and to test it i borrowed dx dual sim from my friend.
so it goes like this. my friends dx dual sim was perfectly stock and n wasn't rooted. this morning i unlocked its boot-loader and it all went so well. within 5 min i unlocked the boot-loader and after that i flashed recovery which i founded in previous threads, it said that the recovery was specially made for desire x dual sim and was posted here on xda from that Chinese forums. anyways i flashed the recovery, it was miui using fast-boot and then i flashed superuser package and rooted the desire x dual sim. it was factory rested and it rebooted i saw superuser in the menu and i was quite happy. but then in order to flash the rom i ported, i had to change the recovery as the miui recovery wasn't taking backups. so i changed my recovery to twrp, made by nexus_prime in a few threads back. i flashed that recovery and everything was good till then. after that when i try taking backups from twrp recovery it says failed. i was sick of trying again and again but no luck, then twrp recovery suggested that i should install super su in order to gain root. i said ok install it and then my device rebooted. i saw super su app there and also not to forget i was already having super user installed cause i was rooted. the super su app wasn't working it said updating binary and then it said failed. i uninstalled it thinking its not gonna work for me. after i uninstalled it, i rebooted my deice to fast-boot in order to change my recovery back to miui.
i powered desire x dual sim off and then boom, **** my damn device is not turning on now, ive already tried looking for solution online and ive already tried changing battery and pulling them off and on but no luck damn it. when connected it shows orange led and then cpu vibrates like 5 times every 3 hours later. it doesn't boot neither it gets into boot-loader.
some body please tell me soon what wrong i did and what am i suppose to do now? and some one (@xpirit) said that desire x dual sim cannot be bricked if its s -on.
what should i do now. ill be in big trouble if my friends find out what happned to his device.
someone pls help me out ASAP.
thank you
Let it charge peacefully for an hour

not a battery issue
please i respect youre help but ive already said i aint a battery or charging problem, its annoying to see that kind of solutions - pull battery out, let it charge or unplug and plug it ..etc . all these are really not helping, i think my boot loader or something like that is erased and thats why its happening. i want a fix to the solution, any help is always appreciated, except the stupid battery or charging things.
thanks
lol, you dont even know half of what you are talking about.... you tried to port roms, before even learning rooting and flashing basics, and you tell him his solution is stupid?
Its true, you cant mess up the boot-loader so easily.... its just that you have tried to flash SU binary from TWRP, which is not good.... just boot to recovery, flash a superuser-arm-xyz.zip avaialable on androidsu.com or something, then you will get it booting. Otherwise, if you have mistakenly wiped system partition, then you are out of luck and you will have to take another desire x, root it, take backup, copy it to sdcard and then use it restore system on this phone.
Next time, read read and read more before this kind of experiments.

PLEASE, TRY.. to read carefully sir.
i said desire x t328w is completely dead, DEAD. i cant get into recovery not even into boatloadER. nothing happens when i press power button or try to go to the boot loader. its like it has no life. only sign of life it shows is when it is connected to the charger, the orange led lits up and hence and that only thing which changes in this device.
please, if i could go to the recovery id solved this issue by my self rather than troubling you all. ive been searchinh for this kind of problem over the internet some says it cant be repaired by flashing or etc.. some says cpu is faulty etc. i dont know what wrong i did.
also i didnt flash super user via twrp
i flashed it via miui recovery

Hmm Yep your Screwed... Looks like it's time to Buy Your Mate a New DesireX
yes, BUY A NEW PHONE (See, i didn't advise to charge battery or something.)
OnTopic:
I happened to have the same issue once on my desire bravo.... and guess what solution fixed it???? (CHARGING IT) coz its battery was SO LOW, whenever i tried to power up, it flashed leds.
Calm down and think, also can you post what you have tried ? Did you let it finish charging ? Tried plugging into pc ? Etc etc, might have to lend your mate your phone ps wtf you testing stuff on your mates phone for ? Best to use your own, if yours is the same take a backup 1st, also dont bother trying recovery go for bootloader 1st once you can get into that rest will be easier, worst case senario you will have to pay someone to fix

Thanks for your sensible answer mate. But I'm afraid you don't know maybe that i cannot access boot loader nor does my phone says a single word. Also I've being charging it for more then 10 hours. Nothing happens when connected to PC. worthless. I'm screwed and i learned a lesson that never to mess around with someone else device even if other says it 'cannot be bricked'.
Thank you all who help and also who really put me this situation.
btw now his desire x is resting at HTC, i don't know what will they say as for now i told them nothing about rooting and all other stuff i tired..

It is common problem with this phone.
Simple cure - pull out the battery and let the phone stay without charger and battery during an hour or two.
Then it will be OK again, but until next power off.
I think the problem is in custom recovery. I have the same problem with friend's phone. But it's working well without power off, so I don't want to mess with it again
Disconnect Phone from charger.
Press the Power button.
Connect the Charger while the button is pressed. Phone should start.
I've done it several times now, main reason being, battery was not having any charge.
Never mind guys it was the motherboard which was really screwed. I don't know what really caused it but the only thing I'm aware of right now is that it'll cost a lot

Yeah they're extortionate prices for HTC's, in the past I've just scrapped phones instead of getting them repaired when they have motherboard or problem relating to charger port.

Hi everyone,
I found my non-rooted officially updated Ice Cream Sandwich Galaxy S2 phone turned off a few days ago. Upon switching on it won't go past the I9100 Samsung Galaxy S II screen, no matter how long I wait. I haven't flashed it before this moment with any custom ROMs or did actually make anything funny to it, including rooting.
Using Odin different versions I tried flashing it with official ROMs but it generally gets stuck either on NAND Write Start or at Set Partition/cache.img. Since only with the ROM with no pit, modem and CSC files I got no result, I was advised in another forum to flash with them so they can see what I reach. The suggested files were CODE_I9100XXLSJ for PDA, emmc_EXT4_16GB.pit for PIT, MODEM_I9100XXLS6 for Phone, and for CSC - CSC_HOME_OXX_I9100OXXLS1.
The second version which was a bit earlier was PDA CODE_I9100XXKG3_CL401405_REV02_user_low_ship.tar, u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4 PIT, MODEM_I9100XXKG3_REV_02_CL1040774.tar phone and GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKG3.tar.
I tried flashing with both using almost every Odin version, from 1.3, 1.83, 1.85, 3.04 to 3.09 with only being able to reach the stages of NAND Write Start and Set Partition. I can only access download mode and not recovery mode.
Since I have been trying to solve the problem for a few days now, I also removed the battery for more than 2 minutes before flash, moved through different USB ports, going with different Odin versions, turning my anti-virus program off (I don't have KIES installed) with no success after the above point. The only thing I can't do now is change the USB cable but it is a nice one and the drivers and Windows recognise it OK with the phone. Since a xda thread I found suggested that re-partitioning off helped many people in my phone state I tried that too without opportunity to go any further. I also removed my SIM card and external 64 GB memory card just to check if there would be any difference (and also knowing this is recommended for wiping out their content), no help.
Can anyone give me advice what I could do to get the phone back to life? Could the internal 16GB memory be dying? Can I use something like the shared here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823918 to check on bad sectors?
This is my first time to go through such experiences so excuse me if I have missed something. I will get back with more details as required. Thanks for your comments!
Dude..... I also did experiments wid ma phn......... nd faced da same prblm at da beginning...... try odin 3.04... its da best..... nd download ur s2 stock rom through sammobile.....
1st make sure dat samsung usb drivers are installed in ur pc..... install samsung kies...... it will automatically install drivers to ur pc.....
Den boot into download mode.... connect usb..... open odin in pc.... unmark auto reboot option...wen it shows blue color box written id:com....... flash ur s2 stock rom..... and wait till it doesnt get completed....... it will take time...so be calm..
after the rom will flashed completely....it will show a message "pass"
disconnect ur usb..... remove da battery.... wait for. 10 sec.... and reboot....... let me know if this helps u out...

Thanks jeevan000, currently flashing with 3.04 with reboot turned off and 4.1.2 JellyBean leak (I9100XXLSJ) from the suggested topic (thanks TheImpossibleEnemy). It failed but I will try once more, then will test an official ROM. Using primary USB port, installed KIES, killed its processes before starting, anti-virus turned off. Screenshot attached.
Tried with I9100XWLSS firmware too, downloaded by SamMobile, Fail again. I am frankly unsure what happens behind and how to troubleshoot it. All files to access are also properly unzipped and Odin itself is also unzipped. My only personal resort/hope is that so far I have used only one USB cable, tomorrow I will try with another or two. What brings me down is not that my phone is broken but that there is no way to get to what is really wrong...
i don't know..... wat's going on den......... i will suggest u to try ur own country official rom as u r saying dat u are using a leaked version... and have u installed kies.... try using the official one
Your problem is you're listening to a person who has no idea of what they're talking about, and ignoring the one who does. You need to go to the thread you were linked to by the person in this thread who does know what they're talking about. You need to try the stuff in that thread over and over and over and over until you get a successful flash. There's nothing else which isn't in that thread that can be suggested in these situations.
The alternative to persevering with the suggestions in the 'Bible' you were linked to (which that thread is in these situations) is giving up & paying a Samsung service centre a relatively large sum of money to fix your phone, or throwing it in the bin.
Right...You now have the different options, and you also have the tools you need to fix your phone. The rest is up to you.

Yes, I have not given up and will not whatsoever. I am going for a few more USB cables, will try to buy an original Samsung one since my original one was taken by someone at work by mistake and I lost it so using a Kindle one instead. I have hope since the phone is entering download mode every time. My only alternative concern is that the problem may be hardware one since the phone was even with android 2.3.4 that I purchased it with officially and once or twice it turned off by itself, which was fixed by long holding of the turn on button or removing the battery.
I will not contact a Samsung centre as I have friends left their phones in weird conditions and Samsung/the vendor representing it kept them for up to 1 month returning them with either the same problems or doing something superficial saying the phone was OK, or claiming it had nothing to do with them, or even that they need a replacement since the phone was dead. What is better than that?
As long as you still have download mode, the majority of the time it's recoverable, though not 100% of the time. There's always a chance the flash is failing because the NAND is corrupted.
Those issues you described with the phone crashing/powering off for no reason could indicate something hardware-wise which might be causing your flash attempts to barf. If you're still trying in a few days & it's not happening, it's really quick/cheap/easy to replace the USB board/port yourself. When these are on the way out, they rarely die completely & often show a few faults & work OK for other things. They can sometimes cause phones to crash/power off/reboot like you described. So as this is really cheap to do (cheaper than going the change motherboard route anyways), try that before you start thinking about replacing the motherboard. KeithRoss39 has a guide in General (search for 'replace USB charger board') which will enable you to do it easily yourself.
If you get to that point of having replaced the USB board/port (by which time you'd have been at it for over a week by the time the part arrives) & it's still not taking a flash, then you'd look at motherboard replacement or a new phone.
So far as what might be wrong with it is concerned, it's electronics. They fail. I'm always surprised at other people's surprise on here when it happens. It happens. A lot. If it's not the NAND itself, it will be something else on the motherboard causing it to crash/power off & not take a flash (assuming you don't fix it). But the fix is still motherboard replacement because attempting to replace individual components is very fiddly, and would cost you more than it costs to have a board replaced in labour alone.
If you get to the point of deciding whether to get a new board or new phone, search online & see how much it will cost you to source a 2nd hand board (assuming you want to keep the phone rather than get another one). Once you've done that, you can get the board & take it to a local mobile repair shop (not Samsung service centre) and pay them to swap it. Will still be a lot cheaper than having a service centre put a new board in, and you won't have to put up the poor service you spoke of.
I was thinking of waiting for the Samsung's suggested F-series flagship/Note 4 or Sony Experia Z3 later in the year (Z2 is great but with user irreplaceable battery which for me is a no-go), but considering the case, no matter the outcome I am probably going for Note III next month.
Just to rephrase what you said, I tried flashing again yesterday with the new USB cable, it reached the data.img stage this time and failed with Odin 3.09. I haven't reached that so far so will try with other firmwares as I proceed. I found the USB charger board replacement thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/guide-replacing-usb-charger-board-t2335961, great is a mild description for the efforts in there and the video itself! If there is no progress until the middle of the next week, I will order a USB board and replace it, and then will follow your advice on the motherboard. I could see that I can have it for about GBP 35 (for now this is something that I do not want to consider).
If things go well, I will sell the S2. It's a great phone, it's been with me for about 3 years now (got it immediately once it started selling) and apart from slight left bottom screen corner darker backlight irregularity, common for the first year sold S2s and varying over the firmwares set, it has been built very well and is still an above-average device that has brought me a lot of pleasure working with. Still it is electronics so maybe it was time for something new...
P.S. After the last update, when I started it today it goes into 'Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.' I think the battery is low so will recharge it completely and see if download can be entered. Going through this thread so will see if anything is to change, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258628

Looks like you will need to restock with SP Flash Tools. Check out the guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2517093 for more info. I'm not familiar with this particular device, so make sure that that stock system supports your particular model and configuration as many phones like this come with different RAM or NAND sizes so you wanna make sure everything matches up to avoid making things worse.

Dear sir I flashed my phone with stock rom dozen tiems using sp flash tool.But when phone starts it hangs on boot logo I also install clockwork mode it shows erroe emmc not found also data,cache not found.It was unable to mount external and internal sd card. During memory test it shows
ERROR: NAND Flash was not detected!
I dont have any backup.md5 image to restore data or using MTKDROID tool?
Is there any hope for me to repair it by myself or i should head to service centre!
Sounds like you messed up the partitions. If flashing the stock rom through SP Flash Tools doesn't fix it, not sure there is a whole lot more to do, but like I said, we don't have those kinds of phones here so not 100% on that. Maybe something like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2296230 would be able to reformat something to get things going, but part of the instructions involve starting an app while booted, but can't really see why that is important if you have to flash the new parts through the SP Flash Tool anyway... If nothing else, maybe try to get a hold of the developer of that mod as obviously he is fairly familiar with the layout of the phone and would probably have some other suggestions for your issues.

Thank u sir for this helpful information.I trird but it always stucked during downoad :crying: finally I take it to custmor care.They flashed suscessfully but in recovery mode it shows laying android nad red triangle error.Is this happen due to faulty hardware or software problem.They r telling me to change the motherboard (PCB) my warrnety expired two weeks before....what is the reason of this error?
So they flashed the correct original firmware to the device and it doesn't boot? Or it does boot but just curious as to why the recovery has the red triangle?
If they flashed the right thing and it still doesn't boot, then not likely anything short of sending it to the manufacturer would help. Trick is knowing whether they knew what they were doing or not.

Ohhh ok, well then all is well! That is pretty common with stock recoveries across many manufacturers. Often there is a combo of buttons to push when you are at that screen to get the reboot and reset options to show up. I'd try toggling volume keys in there, see what happens. If you need a custom recovery, then you should be able to flash one again now.
Stock backup + SP flash tool = problem solved
No. Actually my phone screen was broke which replaced by service centre.Just from that day all panic begins it drain a lot of battery so I threw it into bin
Sent from my XT1068 using XDA Free mobile app
Micromax service center personnel's are worst and dumb people
My A116 also had the same problem.
Used to heat a lot and hang and restart without any fixed pattern/reason.
I flashed the rom many times, changed the recovery, formatted all, wrote new IMEI's, used custom ROM Etc. But, the same problem was coming everytime.
So, I concluded there should be some hardware issue and gave it to the service center here in Old City, Pune.
After a couple of days the service person called me and told that "ur board needs to be replaced. Its damaged and will cost 80% of the price of the phone"
I brought my phone back and showed to local repair centers. The response was "sir we ll not touch ur board as its short by the authorized people. Else we would have repaired it"
These chinese service centers are useless. Its like a deadlock.
Chinese will say : sir aapne bahaar khulwaya ab warranty se gaya to paisa lagega
Outsiders: Sir aapne service center mein diya to aapne galat kiya.
My phone was better hanging than completely damaged. At least I was able to flash and use it intermediately.
