Hi all
Today I received my freelander px2. I tried to follow the instructions posted here http://www.pandawillforum.com/showt...-PX2-MTK8389-Quad-Core-(update-Sep-6th-2013)/ to flash the device to the latest clean ROM. I got to the "Download" stage. I clicked the "Download" button and connected my Freelander PX2 with the USB cable.
I was having some issues making Windows 7 actually pick up the "MTK" device and load the correct driver. So I was playing around with the drivers and disconnecting and reconnecting the Freelander PX2 (Whilst leaving the Flash tool on DOWNLOAD mode, which was waiting for me to connect the Freelander PX2)
I must have reconnected it several times in the process of trying to make Windows 7 recognise the device. When I looked at the flash tool I noticed it had got to around 57% with the progress bar and stopped. I can only assume I managed to get the MTK drivers installed correctly at some point but tablet didn't really tell me new software was being uploaded to it. So basically I didn't know the flash tool was sending the new software to the tablet when I must have disconnected it during the process.
I can only assume I've interrupted the NAND flash process? When I try to reconnect the tablet now, it says "USB Device Not Recognized". There doesn't seem to be much support anywhere on the internet for this specific device or issue.
I've tried holding the power button for 30 seconds.. nothing happens
I've tried holding the power button plus volume up button for 30 seconds.. nothing happens
There's also no USB disconnect sound when I hold the power button down? Surely a hard reset should trigger a USB disconnect sound in Windows.
What are my options at this stage? Is it completely dead?
EDIT: Ok, this was a bit strange. I left it yesterday morning and declared it dead. Today I woke up, switched my computer on and plugged it in using a different USB cable and the driver was automatically installed as "MTK preloader". I didn't try to switch the device on yet though, as I wasn't sure if it being recognized was by chance. I didn't ask questions. I just immediately started up the flash tool, hit "download" and re-plugged the USB cable. This time the software finished upload with 100% and a green circle. Then it automatically disconnected from the computer. I hit the power button and it needed some time to charge again (maybe it drained itself last time). A few minutes later the OS booted completely fine. I don't know which one of those things made it worked, the new USB cable or leaving it to discharge for a day.. I just don't know. I'm not taking any chances though, the USB cable is being binned.
Have you flashed the CWM recovery for the px2 yet?
What do you think about the new firmware? I think its alot snappier than the old one. The CWM recovery works a treat (but you have no usb cable lol ) so you cant flash it. If you do want to put the recovery on it, let me know i can help. Cheers
PX2 Bricked
Hi,
Glad you got yours working :good:
I have exactly the same problem and now mine is not reconised :crying:
How long does the flashing actually take ?
When I connected it again this morning it it reconised it and the flash toll started to work.
The green bar and red bars both went to 100% then nothing after 5 mons so I unplugged it.
Now its bricked again :crying:
Any advice guys please ?
Reset
Hi mate sorry to here of your problems. Try pressing the little button between the sim slots, if that doesnt work, press volume + and then power button and keep pressed until it starts. When you flashed it did you get the green circle at the end?
If you get it recognized again do this: ENSURE YOU HAVE FULL BATTERY AND DO NOT INTERUPT THE FLASHING
1/ Start tablet and connect usb data cable, ensure it is connected as Media device (MTP).
2/ Unpack PX2_PC_24-10-13 update to a folder of your choice.
3/ Start Flash tool and click scatter loading on the right, and go to your unpacked folder you made earlier and select MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc check ALL boxes at the bottom are selected.
4/ Now click on downlod button, then switch off tablet. It will either ask to load drivers or start the flashing process.Wait until you see the green circle.
5/ Restart tablet. ENJOY
If you want to put clockwork recovery on it do the following:
1/ Download Freelander_PX2_130717_CWM_recovery.img in post #162 at pandawill put it in a folder and copy MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc from the folder above to the same folder.
2/ Start tablet and connect usb data cable, ensure it is connected as Media device (MTP).
3/ Start Flash tool and click scatter loading on the right, and go to your Freelander_PX2_130717_CWM_recovery.img folder you made earlier and select MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc only recovery option should be checked. Dont worry about the red writing.
4/ Click download and switch off tablet, dont worry about the warning just go ahead anyway, it will only take a couple of seconds and you should see the green circle again.
5/ To check it worked press vol+ and power button to get to recovery ( should be blue text ) if it is congrats you have clockwork recovery.
6/ Enjoy your tablet
Hi,
Thanks for your help but I fear it may be terminal,as when I plug the usb in now I get nothing.
gonna try on a different computor later.
If that fails I fear my PX2 will be leaving via the upstairs window
---------- Post added at 04:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 PM ----------
Well it wont even charge now !
I wonder if this could mean a hardware problem or a software not sure ?
Any Ideas guys ?
:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
PX2 revival
Hi bazza500, try pressing the reset button between the sim slots it has saved me a couple of times when i thought i had bricked mine.
If you go to the pandawill forum under MTK tablets you will find a thread there dealing with an updated by users flashable firmware with cwm recovery.
Then later if you get it up and running there is a solution to extend the internal memory from 1Gb to 2Gb which reduces the storage by 1Gb. Hope you get it running buddy. Cheers
A few tips
Windows 7 has a glitch where by if the path has Chinese characters in it the flash tool with crash/error. Extract everything to your desktop and delete the chinese characters in the folder names.
Also there's a driver error in Windows 7. Make sure you use the driver install tool to install the MTK drivers. Also make sure the driver is installed and the tablet is recognised before you run the flash tool. That's the error I made, I tried to get the drivers installed whilst running the flash tool and the firmware started flashing when I hadn't realized.
Unlike Samsung and Apple, most Chinese devices don't give you a fancy progress bar on the device. There's almost no feedback the tablet or phone being flashed in most cases.
Thanks for the help guys................
Got my replacement today but have hooked it up to updrade and there was about 3 x colours went to 100% on progress bar now nothing for 15 mins !
Is this normal ?
Well a massive fail again.
Gonna send thos one back and get my money back.

Any ideas?

Sometimes my I5500 won't turn on.
This has already happened 2 times (with two different firmwares I5500XWJPL and I5503TTLPJP9). The phone shows absolutely no signs of life - screen is black, no sounds, nothing.
I tried everything: pressing VolumeDown+Center+Power, VolumeDown+Home+Power, with or without battery/SIM/charger/SD. Tried removing battery for 30 minutes, charging battery in external charger.
Sometimes when charger is connected, it shows green battery on the screen, but still won't boot.
Last times I spent several hours fiddling with it until it finally turned on..
Can someone tell my if there is a fast way to revive the phone next time this happens?
Maybe your arm11boot is damaged, but still partly working. You need replace that partition. I saw arm11boot partition image in one Russian FW. I can't remember actual name. You can try that, but caution. You might brick your phone compleatly!
sorry for reviving this thread.
but I got the same problem now. Tried to use ROM Manager to install CWM Recovery (following a blogpost explaining how to install a Custom ROM on the SG5). Might have accidentally clicked a different CWM Rec. version than I thought I did. However, ROM manager showed a message, telling me that CWMR was installed correctly.
So I wanted to boot into CWMR up to flash my device with the latest CyanogenMod 7 port from MADTeam. Used the "boot into recovery" option from ROM manager for that purpose. The next thing I know is my phone not reacting to anything.
Tried all methods mentioned afore (Vol- + Home + Power / Vol- + Center + Power, with/w.o. SD card and/or battery inserted). Screen keeps being off, no sign of life, phone wont even do anything when plugged to my PC or a charger.
The phone has been rooted properly before and was running Stock 2.1. Houston, we've got a problem.

Take your battery out, put it back in and turn your phone on, then it will boot up into recovery mode. I also have this problem from time to time, sometimes it boots into recovery, sometimes not and i have to remove/replace the battery.
I actually thought that this might be a useful feature for say - if you wanted to upgrade a friends phone to cyanogenmod in the pub, for example.
did try that. now even had the battery removed for about an hour. put it back in. still no reaction on pressing the power button or one of the combinations that should put it into recovery or download mode. no sign of life when plugging the phone to my computer or the charger.
I do fear the worst, though I dont know how ROM manager was actually able to brick the phone that badly.

In that case then this also happened to me - While exploring the rom manager application after first ever flashing my phone i accidentally selected the wrong phone model from the 'flash clockworkmod recovery' option and my phone was gone forever. Perhaps your problem is similar.
(Luckily it was under warranty and they replaced it. The method worked so well in fact it happened 'accidentally' a second time i acquired a 3rd i5500 out of the box )
bought mine already used, so no chance for a warranty replacement :/
gonna give it a shot with a usb jig now, maybe i can get the thing into d/l mode with that, so I can revive it with odin.

what about the Emergency DLoad Mode, which is not the Download Mode? Did you try it?
{ brvsn ~ CM7 on GT-I5500 ~ Tapatalk }
how do I access emergency d/l mode?
UPDATE
I actually CAN get download mode (or what I assume it to be) running by pressing Vol- + Menu + Power (while Vol- + Home + Power wont do anything, nor does the USB jig that arrived today). Took me some time to discover this, as this doesnt seem to be the usual 3-button-combination used. BUT: while the phone is now recognized by my PC, it wont show anything on the screen.
Odin (tried 4.28 and 4.43 on both win7 x64 and x32 and everyting related to Kies shut down) does now detect my phone. However, it always gets stuck at "Setup Connection" when I try to flash the stock rom or CWMR. Tried different approaches (from starting DL-mode with the phone being connected to my PC to separately starting DL mode and then connecting, starting it up with the battery already being in place, starting it up with sliding the battery in place while holding the 3 buttons etc.), none of them gets me further so far.
Another hint I found was setting the Baud-rate of the Samsung mobile modem to 203400, but this, unfortunately, didnt change anything.
Anyone got a lead on how to get Odin finally started properly?

ops, sorry: I miss your previous message!!
Now I got it and read this last post.. let some time to think about it, I'll replay soon.. but, generally speaking, at this point there's not so much you can do..
If you can get it into Download or Recovery mode, then you should be fine.

download mode is Vol - / Central Button / Power..
Im aware of that. However, Vol- + Menu + Power is the only key combination that the phone will react upon.
Anyway. Brought it to a mobile phone shop on friday, called them on monday and according to them, the phone should be fixed by tomorrow, wednesday. Seems like ROM manager has done damage that cant be undone without knowing how to handle a JTAG device. But at least its not completely broken. Learning that will cost me 25 Euros, though.
One final update to this: Got the phone back today, they were indeed able to fix it.
Conclusion:
While installing a non-fitting CWM-Recovery through ROM Manager will make your Galaxy 5 unfixable via Odin, it still can be saved by making proper use of a JTAG.

So I bought this cheap tablet off of ebay and after about a week I connected it into the charger and forgot to unplug it.. Only next morning I saw and when I disconnected it it had turned off. So I turned it on and it was stuck in the newsmy logo and wasn't booting up.
There was nothing on the internet, but somehow I got it working again and for everybody's sake I'm posting what I did here.
First off, even though there are some references that this has allwinner A10 inside, ITS NOT. you will brick this if you flash an allwinner variant kernal.
If you are one of those brave souls who flashed on a allwinner kernals and bricked the thing, you would not be able to go to download mode even. Here is the steps to flash a fresh rom that would resolve most of issues:
1. Download driver pack from the attachment of this post
2. Download RKBatchTool here: http://www.x-drivers.com/catalog/fl...s_electronics/models/rk_batch_tool/27576.html..
3. Now turn off your tablet. If it doesn't turn off press a needle head into the reset pinhole and hold it for 5 seconds
4. Open device manager from your computer
5. Then hold the power on button and volume up(that is the one closer to power button) until it turns on. It'll boot your tab in download mode. After the green robot icon appears connect it to the computer by carefully monitoring device manager of computer
*** If you have flashed an allwinner or other rockchip kernal based ROM earlier and do not go in to download mode or no new device installation in your PC there's a real possibility your download mode combination may have changed. Turn it off by pressing needle to reset pinhole. Then turn off and connect it to PC. Then turn it on and then while in boot screen hold volume up. if not try similar procedure by holding volume down or back buttons. If you see driver installation in the PC and nothing in the tablets screen, thats fine. You can continue with the flasing
6. The driver installation probably will fail. Identify which device that is newly added to the device manager.
7. Right click on the device -> Update Driver. Then manually select -> Have disk then give rockusb file from drivers you just downloaded(if your system is 64-bits use files in amd-64 folder)
8. Then select RK29 as the device and update the driver
9. Now extract and run RKBatchTool and you must see under connected devices button #1 highlighted in green
10. Download official ROM here: http://220.168.57.227:1949/cunchu/20120312T3youhuaruanj.rar
There are other ROMs for T3 here as well. But this is the only thing that works
11. Extract it and give its update.img file path to RKBatchTool FW Path
12. Hit Restore
13. Wait few minutes for flash to complete
14. Then the tab will restart once or twice and will start booting up. This process should take maybe 5 minutes or more. Be patient
15. Then it'll finally boot.
I will post a Jelly Bean ROM for this tab here as soon as I cook one
Comments are much appreciated
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Was searching for a guide to get my brothers Newsmy Newpad T3 up and running.
Thank you for this guide. will definitely try it out and leave a feedback.
P.S. Jellybean sounds interesting.
OK. After spending two days I finally got it to detect the Newsmy Newpad T3.
I had to install Android SDK for the USB drivers. (Don't know if it detected from that.)
Then downloaded super one click root. Found the android drivers in it, and when it asked which driver you want to install I gave "Android Composite" not sure but something in those lines.
Successfully rooted it.
Then off the tab and connect the USB cable, press power and volume up (one that is near the power) and when the tab boots
If it asked for drivers please do same as above
Now run the firmware installer provided inside the update.img folder that you downloaded from the original post by suki300me step 10. It is in Chinese and the first option is to change it to English found on the bottom screen.
If everything is set your tab will be in a black screen only thing you know is that it is on is the sound windows 7 makes when the phone is connected to it. Choose the udate .img file and press upgrade.
It will run up to 3-4 stages and will say data copy error. Remove the cable and press power, it will star installing ICS give it few minutes and you are done.
It took me many attempts so don't give up if it didn't work on your first try. Hope this helps someone.
Boot
Hi
I get one newsmy t3 tablet from my friend. The only problem the system is never loaded (stuck at the boot). I try the power+volume up but just the black screen appaers. Btw only turns on when its plugged. Please give me some tips.
GS701B [ATM7013 CPU] Brick Repair
In this thread i am going to show you how to unbrick your gs7013b tablet without recovery mode.
Please be aware that i have spent a lot of time researching and sourcing the resources to be able to do this and it may or may not work for other MIPS tablets....
firstly you need to set up your computer environment (drivers etc)
Downloads
Actions Product Tool 1.02_02 (Developer Edition)
Firmware Files
When you have finished download the above files extract the actions developer tool to a folder on your desktop for easy access and do the same for the firmware files.
Now we need to get your tablet into ADFU Mode (ADFU = Actions Device Flash Utility)
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY OR YOU WILL HAVE NICE LOOKING SQUARE FRIZBY
firstly open up your tablet by popping off the rear panel.
when you have opened the tablet up you should have something like the below picture.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now to get the tablet into ADFU Mode connect your usb cable to tablet and computer and remove any memory card you may have inserted.
now you need to find a tiny flat screwdriver or knife or something similar and we need to short pins 7-8 or 8-9 on the tablets nand chip to force it into ADFU Mode while shorting these pins keep pressing power button until computer recognizes it.
see picture below.
NOTE: i have been informed by some users that the nand chip on their devices is actually soldered on inverted to find pin 1 simply look at the chip and in one corner there will be a little circle which is sort of sunk into the chip this means that pin 1 is on the same corner as the little circle..
when you get the tablet into ADFU Mode your computer will make a sound as if you have just plugged in a usb device. Your computer will now ask for the adfu usb driver which you should have in the Actions Tablet Product Tool 1.02_02(Developer Edition)\Tablet Product Tool(Developer Edition) 1.02\Driver\ folder on the desktop which you downloaded earlier. point windows to he driver and you should now have the device installed...
now goto the Actions Tablet Product Tool 1.02_02(Developer Edition)\Tablet Product Tool(Developer Edition) 1.02\Product folder and run the mainapp.exe
the tool will open and then ask for a firmware file choose the icecream_gl5201_q8_rgb.fw which was in the firmware files zip you downloaded earlier
Now when the tool has read it you need to click the button as in the picture below.
Now on the right of the tool there are a few check boxes etc LEAVE EVERYTHING ALONE apart from the 2 options i explain below
click the image button for FAT_MISC Partition and choose the ACTA.IMG you downloaded earlier in the firmware files.zip
no click the image button for System Partition and choose the ACTB.IMG you downloaded earlier in the firmware files.zip
Now click the big green button as in picture below.
when flashing is done reboot tablet if it doesnt reboot automatically
BOOM working tablet... you should now be able to use your tablet with what you just flashed or you can try a different rom using stock recovery
CREDITS
massive thanks to
Edo2013 (xda forums) for helping me with software and firmware sourcing and flashing.
EDIT: IF YOUR TABLET WILL NO LONGER GO INTO ADFU MODE AFTER BAD FLASH AND SEEMS TO BE TOTALLY DEAD USE THIS METHOD TO GET IT WORKING AGAIN
POST #15 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50938861&postcount=15
no work for me
Greetings, I did not work after installing the TF-20121031-Q8-0329camera.zip no longer lights follow your tutorial step by step, and if I go into DFU mode, but it marks 98 error (as well try to install the CEMA10S24 . indicates rar Error 8 but I do not know what to do is the tablet of my daughter. beginning for all problems has stopped the process in various applications.

hi at which point in the above process do you get the errors?? i cant help you without a bit more information.. if the errors are during flashing then please try a different usb cable and make sure your in adfu mode by checking device manager.. also if you are using windows vista/7/8 it would be a good idea to run everything as administrator or turn uac off completely. make sure your computer is setup correctly and fully updated with the latest .net framework etc...
Q8 GS701B [ATM7013 CPU] hang on android logo
Very helpfull tutorial. Thank you.
But I've got a little bit different problem with my tablet. When I turning on my tablet during booting it is hang on android logo. I've tried all firmware from ele-china and tried also icecream_gl5201_q8_rgb.fw and CEMA10S24 but no one works for me.
When I use your method upgrade is successfull but it is still the same problem with hang on android logo.
I've tried also check box FLASH READ CHECK see attached screen shot. After that its appear checksum error and error 81.
Do you have any idea what can help wit this issue?
My gs701b tablet is not bricked but its touch screen does not work. I tried to download iccream rom you put here to my tablet and I tried another
Rom but touch screen does not work? Is that hardware problem or software. The problem occurred after upgrading to rom upgrade.fast.fw.
Thanks
you will have a hard time getting it to work what you need to try to do is pull the ts drivers from your previous working firmware and then insmod them to this one although doing this is not an easy process it took me week to get my tablet working again.. your ts dont work becuase it uses a different driver for touchscreen which is not the same as mine you need to find someone with the same tablet as yours and get them to give you a dump of there acta and actb partitions....
i currently cant give much support as i got rid of my gs701b tablets as it is a mips tablet and the support for mips is almost non existant becuse of its incompatibilty with almost all apps on the market and the lack of firmware for these tabs are almost also non existant..
I have flashed some wrong firmware that was supposed to be for tablet with a home button. Now it does not power on. Screen does not light up. When I plug it in with usb cable I hear windows notification sound. Then I longpress power button and I hear windows notification sound that indicates shutting off connected device. Doing so also makes it to disappear from device manager. As soon as I release the power button I hear a positive notification sound again and it reappears in device manager once more. So I am stuck at this point. I managed to install unsigned Actions USB 2.0 HS driver, this is how it appears on device manager. I have tried to power it on with cable connected while shorting nand pins but same thing happens.
* UPDATE * So I tried Again. Screen lighted up and is white. I opened tablet product tools. Added firmware and two images. Pressed the green large button. Process have started and got stuck at DOWNLOADING ADFUS ... 20% clock is ticking at 19 minutes now and the progress bar wont move.
* UPDATE * After 143 min and 30 secs i checked on the progress of downloading adfus. It was still 20% but I noticed that a small question window popped up "upgrade firmware" pressed OK. Progress bar went to 95% with title UNKNOWN ERROR. The clock has stopped.
* UPDATE * I have tried again. It takes about 60 minutes until I get the UNKNOWN ERROR an the flashing process stops. Maybe Im not getting into adfu mode? The tool program thing the tablet is ready for flashing as soon as I plug in usb cable or hold power button for 10 secs to shut it off and then release it. The screen goes white after download adfus reaches 20% and it takes about 5 seconds.
* UPDATE * Now I understand that small pop up window on tools program actually says "upload partition error".

The screen goes white after download adfus reaches 20% and it takes about 5 seconds.
* UPDATE * Now I understand that small pop up window on tools program actually says "upload partition error".

i have never had this problem all i can suggest is trying to use a different usb cable or maybe even a different computer... i had something simular to this before a while ago an i took it to friends house and used his laptop and it went through the process perfectly..
Would like to say thanks handy trick work wonders, Aoson M723, (Actions ATM7029) was looking at upgrading, flashed incorrectly. Only issue now OTG is still not working and Gsensor is not working now
Just happy to have the tablet working again.
One minor issue, when I plug in the USB, the tablet shows the boot up image, little odd, what could the possible cause be for that ? I can only think of the actions USB driver causing the trouble how do I go about removing the driver ?
Dear sir, any chance that you have tried this one an Ainol Novo 7 Venus Lite. Mine is deep bricked and I can't even get it to be recognized on my Laptop, by holding Vol+ and Power. I got CXZ ADB drivers installed and the Pad tool Ver. 1.05, but nothing happens and I fear I need to open it up and shorten pin 5 and 6 as mentioned by fuser-invent here;

His guide is not for the venus but for the Crystal.
Can you help me out here?
With kind regards

message: "Encryption unsuccessful"
Hi!
Everything went perfect with update with no errors. But after the android logo, when system is starting, I see message: "Encryption unsuccessful" and than folowing text: "Encryption was interrupted and can't complete. As a result, the data on your tablet is no longer accessible. To resume using your tablet, you must perform a factory reset. When you set up your tablet after the reset, you'll have an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to your Google Account". There is a button "Reset tablet". After the reset, tablet starts I reach again the message above.
Any ideas what's going wrong? After update tablet did not starts alone, but I manualy press power button and it starts. Before power on, I see that update proces in MainApp.exe was finished.
And also I have no recovery options by pressing Volume UP + Power buttons.
And finaly: can I put other firmware to upload using that application, and should I use acta.img and actb.img whith any other firmware?
Thanks in advance!

I have been working on this tab for days, and I have the exact problem as this dude mentioned. I can't get into ADFU when I short the pins anymore, and i've been trying for over an hour, which means I can't flash again. No recovery options, no way to access USB debugging on the tablet, I can't figure this thing out. I think the cause might be manually restarting the device once it appears to be done but it really is not. Perhaps our impatience got the best of us.

hi sorry for my ignorance i have been away on holiday...
the picture in the OP of the nand chip is a little misguiding.. i am guessing you have both tried pins 7-8 and 8-9 if so an its not working try the pins on the other side of the nand chip as some model version differ from others i have had 3 of these and had the same issue although i solved the problem by getting a thin sharp blade eg, craft knife blade and i pressed it onto all the pins on one side of the chip and this worked for me although be aware of the fact that you could possibly permanantly damage the nand by doing this... (but i have not ever damaged a nand chip or tablet doing this and this is now my preferred method..
Also try pins 5 - 6
and when shorting the pins also try to push the vol- or vol+ and the power button
there is no other way to get the tablet into adfu mode the only way is by shorting the nad and while you have the pins shorted turn the tablet on..
if you have any questions or need more info let me know..

That was genius because it worked. I just pressed a cream cheese knife against the opposite side and it booted into ADFU mode, first try. Thank you. here's some images, maybe you can include this in OP for future reference if the same thing happens, because after the flash it switches which pins need to be pressed.
Problem is, though, that I still get the "encryption unsuccessful" message after a successful flash. I can't access USB debugging, a factory reset doesn't get rid of the message, and I can't seem to find the recovery menu to flash a different ROM. Perhaps you know how to get into recovery/download mode? Or is that ADFU and I should find a different ROM to flash with that program? Here's a video if you want to see exactly what's happening. (It has my beautiful voice, lol.)
Thanks again.
At my tablet the flasher is getting stucked at 20% .
Is there any solution ?
Thanks !
Glad it worked for you..
as for the encryption problem i personally have never come across this and i would defo suggest trying a different firmware or maybe even a different version of the flash tool..
getting stuck at 20% is because you are trying to flash incompatible firmware..
Thanks for the reply but where to download correct flash for my tablet ?
ATM7013 , GS701b without home button .
Thanks !

Good question... The answer we all would like to Know but you will find some here these are all that i know of at the moment

an if the link above contains what you need please dont forget to hit the thanks button
My tablet is bricked . I cannot enter recovery menu and flash from sd-card .
That firmware aren't recognized by the flasher .
After an unsuccessful CWM flashing attempt, my phone it getting the infamous "SECURITY ERROR" message. Now, I tried the offline KDZ method, but like many other JB users, the flashing got stuck at 15%. So, finally I decided to use the online flashing method using the new LG Support Tool. But the sad part is that I am suffering from a low battery issue.
So, does anyone know how to charge a soft bricked Optimus L9?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
I'm just guessing but you could try removing battery for 15-20 sec then inserting it and connecting your phone to charger. If that doesn't work, try installing x and u using fastboot that try same process with removing battery...
You can always use another phone to charge your battery

I tried the fastboot method too, but I face a problem while doing it. The OAMP device which shows in the devices manager keeps disconnecting and reconnecting. So then I unplugged the USB and clicked on "show hidden devices" and then installed the drivers by clicking on the OAMP shown there. But when I plug in the USB again, the same reconnecting starts happening. Do you know a solution to this?
You should follow this post...
Connecting and disconnecting of OMAP device is normal, but it is important that it's recognized in device manager...
FINALLY UNBRICKED....
Sincere thanks to all those wonderful people who have made so many tutorials. I failed to do the offline KDZ flash as well as the fastboot method (as I have mentioned above). But anyway, I did unbrick my phone. I flashed using the online method as follows:
Download the latest LG Mobile Support Tool.
Connect your phone in "Software Upgrade" mode (by holding the Vol UP button while connecting the USB).
In the LG Tool, click on "Options > Recovery". Getting the recovery to open is a confusing task. You have to fiddle around with the USB Drivers options a bit.
Now, let the LG Tool do it's magic [In my case, it downloaded a 592MB file]
CAUTION: When the upgrade tool is in it's last stage, the phone will restart at around 93%. When it restarts, you quickly need to press and hold the Vol UP button to again enter the "Software Upgrade" mode, otherwise the upgrade will not succeed and you will get an error. If you get that error message, don't worry, the Tool will tell you how to "RETRY" (don't worry, no file will be downloaded from the internet this time )
REGARDING THE BATTERY ISSUE:
When my phone got bricked it was at around 65%. Now, when I finally unbricked it, I am seeing 83%!! So, either the phone charged when it was connected in the "Software Upgrade" mode, or it charged when I plugged the charger in the wall socket for half an hour. In any case, if your battery is dead (and phone is bricked) try to charge using a wall socket first. When you do this, the phone will automatically switch on and you will again get that sad "SECURITY ERROR" message. Just switch off the phone when you get this. Let the phone be plugged in for some time to let it charge. [NOW I AM NOT SAYING THAT IT WILL CHARGE AS I HAVE MENTIONED THE TWO POSSIBLE WAYS ABOVE, but hey, it's worth a try!] If your phone switches on, good job! Otherwise, try to charge via the USB by connecting to your PC/Laptop by going into "Software Upgrade" mode.
I just hope that the above points will help some unlucky soul who was stuck like me Remember, never give up!
Thanks to all for the tips my optimus was running fine at about 65 percent charged and just shut off. I bought a new battery charged all night in the wall still nothing. I can't get my computer to see it. when i hold power and vol down I can hear the computer make sounds like it recognizes it though

I don't think so, just now did it and I can here the computer making sounds like it recognizes it but nothing shows on the phone
p.s. guessing my board went bad, no worries though just first time I ran into something I couldn't fix if the cpu would read it or any software I might have a chance
If you still have warranty you should take your phone to service, if not then try installing fastboot drives and flashing x and u then try offline kdz flash...

well I did the fastboot option i found but not sure if I did it right, I downloaded the omna files but not sure if the right ones but I did get the screen to show a faded out lg symbol not sure if that means anything
Use fastboot from here. You have here how to install fastboot drives. Then follow instructions from this page.
Read instructions carefully and you should be able to successfully unbrick your phone.
Hi
I have a lenovo P780 dual SIM phone puchased in India.
Im not sure if it was the 4/8GB model. This phone however had a Chineese bootloader.
The phone used to restart and hang randomly even during calls. now where i live there is no lenovo service center and my phone last night shutdown completely not even turing on anymore
When you insert USB cable/charger the phone shows a red LED light meaning it might be charging i think. I downloaded SP Flash Tool and read about what it is used for etc etc.
I cant get this phone to turn on. also i cant get it to be detected by my computer there is no USB connect / disconnect sounds when i plug it on my pc hence i dont believe the SP Tool can will be able to do any thing. and the bloody battery is non removable !!!
I installed the MTK65XX /6589 drivers by force on my system via device manager but still nothing is detected.
is there a way to jump start this phone or do some random combinations ? or ???????????
please help asap on what can be done to get this phone
Also i tried installed the drivers for MediaTek USB etc etc is this what im supposed to see on my device manager or is there something wrong ?? see attached pic.
Also the MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM driver says "fails to start" and if i do an update on it it gives that error and disapears. is everything how its meant to be?

Actually MTK device are nearly unbrickable. Last time my P780 flashing process was interrupted at the middle of flashing (PC hangs).My heartbeat stops at the moment but thank god my phone didn't brick.
Firstly, did you installed the correct drivers? If the LED still lit that means your phone haven't brick yet.
Download the drivers here and follow the instruction. This guide should help you fix your phone.

Thanx for the help, I will have to try this tomorrow as it's late ryte now.
However after leaving the phone untouched for 2 days or so I did do already what you said before but add this phone battery is non removable I pressed the small red reset button holding it with power button then plugged to laptop then only released the red reset button and hold the power button that's when it got detected and during this time the sp flash tool was already on with scatter file chosen etc etc and I had clicked the download button do it moved quickly with red bar then stopped didn't continue when I saw the error/error log something to do with time out so I think maybe the battery was low
So when flashing occurs in these phones do we need a charged battery or not?? As with other tutorials they say sometimes we have to remove and re insert the battery but my phone model battery is non removable..I'm planning to open it and disconnect and reconnect again
Leaving phone charge over night just incase.cause problem it just doesn't switch on.but red LED is showing when charger is connected

I tried what you said and after fiddling for a while the phone managed to get detected by the SP Flash Tool then it got flashed by the SP Flash Tool for some reason a yellow circle came up and the USB seemed like it got disconnected automatically
i just left the machine and the phone+SP Flash tool as they are hoping to get that green circle.. bu nothing happen !!! phone is black screen just like dead... after fiddling again multiple times with key cobinations .. i managed to get it boot with the below procedure
pressed the small reset button, press both volume up and down + power button altogether then released the small red button for after maybe around 10 seconds and while the others are pressed !! then the phone booted !!
and ontop of that it booted with the lenovo logo and the slogan i believe "for thos who do" stayed for a while kinda flashing itself i think.. but no progress bar.. I almost thought i was on some boot loop maybe or soft brick but luckily it booted into the russian Life ROM I flashed after that phone went to homes screen and just died again !!!!!!!!!!!
im thinking maybe it may be a hardware issue?? or ??

Hi ! When Life ROM is flashing, no progres barr appears. Did you tried to remain on Life rom ? At least for a week ? Before you go in a service store try to stay with Life and iff this bug appears again go to service store.

I opened the phone today removed the battery...plugged into laptop, then did various tricks of key combinations with and without the battery still phone seems dead !! I guess the owner will send the phone back to India for repairs...or where you from do they sell motherboards for this model? If Yes can you send me website link even if it's in your local language if available want to compare prices... will use Google translator to translate if not in English
