*This guide is for getting back alive a phone from soft brick issue*
*Note: I am not responsible for any kind of damage to your phone.*
*Because whatever is done, is done by you*
*Just follow the instructions properly*
Firstly download & extract MT6577 USB VCOM drivers.zip and install the mt6577 usb vcom drivers.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/cypm22rgs2k83ji/MT6577+USB+VCOM+drivers.rar
Get the zip of flashing tool and rom from here
------Updated------
https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B2z1OF_bgqI1UUJWUmEyNGY5R2M&export=download
Now you are ready move on for the upcoming process.
1. Now Extract the A25 zip.
2. Then go into the extracted A25 folder and open the flash files folder.
3. Then open flash_tool.exe from it.
4. Select scatter loading
5. Go inside the extracted folder of A25 folder and go inside the rom folder and select MT6577_Android_scatter.txt
6. Select SEC_RO, Select LOGO, Select ANDROID Select USERDATA.(unselect all others)
*Update(and select userdata also for google play store to work)*
PRELOADER & DSP_BL flashing is very dangerous never select it until you are an expert and know about it.
7. As you select the scatter text the software gets all the necessary files that are needed for flashing, it’s because they are in the same folder, so now we can directly continue towards main flashing.
Main flashing
1. Firstly make sure your phone’s battery is at least 50% charged.
2. Make sure your usb cable is ok.
3. (Confirmation) this guide is for softbrick phones.
Now when you are totally ready.
1. Remove the battery of the phone.
2. Connect your phone with usb cable and connect it with your computer.(with removed battery) (Do Not Insert Battery Yet)
3. Keep the phone connected only. (with no battery)
4. Now click the download button on the software flash tool.
5. When you will click download it will load the files, the download is not started yet.(so don’t panic)
6. Now in seconds it will load files and it will wait for your phone to connect, it will show searching.
7. So now its time for flashing.
Now insert the battery and the software will start flashing immediately, while flashing do not make any mistake of removing cable, or else it may hard brick your phone, the download will start if there are no other issues, and total flashing time would be 6 or 10 minutes.
If the flashing went all ok, with no problems then it will show Download Ok.(preview down)
8. Now finally disconnect the phone from the usb cable and remove and re-insert the battery, and power it on, Happy Flashing :angel:

Hi, I think I am in deep trouble now. My p780 8gb is completely dead after trying to flash a TWRP recovery in to it using a flash tool. Not sure what went wrong I fiddled with some settings in flash tool like 'firmware upgrade' and 'download' and at last saw a Dram failed message. I was using the latest s226 Kitkat ROW. Now all I can see is a red led charging light glowing while connecting it to a computer. The device is not getting recognized by VCOM drivers so no use with flash tool any more. Tried to reboot in to recovery and meta mode but the phone simply does not turn on. Anyone knows how to unbrick this, kindly help.

Hi. Please tell me if your phone is made in 2014. From what i see all phones made in 2014 must be flashed with another preloader. The simptoms you are described here seems that way. Waiting fro reply...

Hi stympy,
Yes it is a 2014 January version. But to be honest I was using a ROM with 2013 version preloader but never faced any problem, Today purposefully changed it to the new 121kb 2014 preloader and everything was fine till I used the v5 flashtool to flash the twrp and I think I selected the upgrade option in it and flashed the twrp> found the ROM and preloaders from needrom.com from the uploader xxxsadistxxx .It worked flawlessly and then after first booting I configured the wi-fi settings again turned it off and tried to install the custom recovery. Now completely helpless because the phone is not getting detected by VCOM drivers.

Look what you have to do!
Hi. The think was someting like this:
0. Unzip/Unrar those 2 archives.
1. First i install the .exe file from archive LenovoUsbDriver_autorun_1.0.10.zip. Reboot PC.
2. Plug the phone to your PC and new hardware wizard has appeared. Install the drivers by pressing automaticaly search the drivers.
3. Now power off the phone, and open the Device Manager, in Ports section.
4. With the Device Manager open, plug the phone this time powered off.
5. At this time in Device Manager/ Ports section, appeared for a second or two not in USB area something with.. MTK65...
6. Double Click fast on it because that will desapear very fast . If you missed the click for the first time unplug and replug the phone after about 5 seconds.
7. After you clicked on it all you have to do is update driver from MTK_USB__Driver_GOOOOODDD.rar archive, and voila you have drivers installed and now all you have to do is to flash you ROM.
Hope this will help you.
Tell me iff something goes wrong.
Good luck.

1) Hi, thanks for the troubleshooting steps but for the 3rd and 4th step, the phone is always in a switched off mode only. It simply doesn't get turn on in any mode.
2) I am using Windows 8.1 OS and Lenovo Usb Driver1.0.10 and VCOM drivers are already installed in it after turning off the digital signature check in win 8x OS and now nothing is happening after clicking on install option of LenovoUsbDriver_autorun_1.0.10.exe Is it a problem or in other OS also it wont prompt to click next or something like in a regular driver installation.
3) Phone is not getting detected in device manager after connecting it, so cant update drivers
Please suggest me what to do next.

1.1 Open the device manager on your PC.
2. You will find there an small red button.
3. Now plug your phone to your PC.
4. After you plugged the phone press the red button for 20 secconds.not optional
5. Release the button and see what is going on in your device manager.
6. Iff your preloader is messed up something should going on.

Hi thanks a lot stympy. I am glad that you were spending the time and effort to help me. I saw that red button trouble shooting post in your TWRP thread and luckily for me after clicking on different options in device manager while setting a complete format in sp flashtool the device suddenly got detected and format was done. After the format the device has lost its imei number, BT code and Wlan codes. That was going to be a hectic job to reinstall imei with imei repairing tools and usage of Hexa editor for BT and wi-fi codes just because some drivers were not getting installed properly.. But to my sheer luck I had a "Data' back up in TWRP with my previous version prerooted rom . I was not that confident to get a restore of imei , BT and wlan codes because it is just a 'data' back up not full ROM. I ticked the md5 checksum and voila after installing the back up 'Data' everything , absolutely every single code in my p780 got reinstalled automatically .LONG LIVE TWRP DEVELOPERS......... May be even after formatting the complete flash drive of the phone it still keeps the imei and other codes in factory mode. I am not sure. Now phone is in perfect condition and I am ready for another go. Stympy please create a 2.7.1 twrp for 2014 preloader p780 8gb. thanks again for all your help

Hey Stympy, you seem to know quite a lot about this! I have the same problem with my p780 4GB. After flashing everything seemed ok, as I got a green circle in SPFlash tools. However now I am not able to boot anymore. When connecting my phone to my computer the red light goes on and Device Manager shows a new MTK USB Port. When pushing the red button it immediately disappears. Does not matter if I push it for 20 seconds, as soon as I let go its bak in device manager.
When trying to reflash using SPFlash, it seems to recognize my phone, but when trying to format or Upgrade or Download, the red bar only loads up to 141776 Bytes and stops. Sometimes I have to push the red button for the phone to get recognized.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
ps: CMIIT ID on the battery says 2013xxxxxxx so I guess its a 2013 model?

Hi. Can you tell me what firmware did you have ?
From what you described your phone seems to be from 2014. This are the simptoms when the preloader is messed up.
Look what you should try:
Download from here the preloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/lenovo-p780-chineese-speed-version-t2874161
Replace your Curent ROM preloader with the one you downloaded.
Drivers from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/len...ial-kitkat-t2835605/post55587780#post55587780
Try this one and tell me if somethin goes wrong.

Fool me. I've tried to run CN on russian LiFE ROW with TWRP. You can laugh very loud.
1. unbricked with P780_S136_140306_Lang
cleared IMEI
2. IMEI recovered with Droid Tools
after reboting no gsm signal
3. NVRAM recovered from backup
No success.
SIM cards works fine on other mobile, 911 cal also work on this phone
now running on:
ROM: P780_S226_Life_XVIBE_by_Xakep
Baseband: P780.V23
Last idea is clone p780 (colleague has one) with IMEI change, mac address and sn. Now with which tool it'll be easier?
success

Hi there,
I need help on my Lenovo P780. I flashed it with P780_ROW_S124_140403_rooted_twrp_gapps ROM, procedure seemed to be ok but, after the green circle, I cannot switch on my smartphone anymore. Power+volumedown doesn't work and power+volumeup+volumedown as well. Now it's not recognized on my win7 pc! I tried to "uninstall" from device manager on my OS and then use the drivers contained in the .rar file "MTK_USB__Driver_GOOOOODDD" suggested some threads ago... but nothing happens, it's still an "unknown device" for Windows.
The only signal of life is the red light when the smartphone is connected to my laptop.
Please help me to solve this brick, I really do not know how to proceed.
Thanks in advance,

Hi stympy and thank you for your kind reply.

Hi stympy,
I'm using SP Flash Tool V3.1304.0.sn119 (build: 2013/01/28 11:26 r1073)
About the drivers... I'm using "MTK USB driver" folder that you shared in a thread some time ago... where can I get the version? Here you can find in attachment a png screenshot, as you can see date modify of the files in the package. Unfortunately I can't get info from my Windows device manager because of the actual "unknown device" recognition of my P780
just in case, ok for the teamviewer session, thank you for your availability!

Hi there,
it seems that now the device is recognized by Win7 because it finished its driver installation.
In the device manager now I see a "MediaTek DA USB VCOM (Android) (COM11)"; anyway, I downloaded the latest version of SPFTools (v5.1352.01) but both of the instances stops at "searching" time and 0% of the flashing process.
Could please someone advise?
Thank you!
Try to make sure the device is fully turned off. try to press the red button beside the battery. And then reconnect the cable while it is in the mode "Searching".. if it does not connect .. try unplugging and replugging it again.

After pressing the red button it got it up, thank you handshake1234. But flashing process stops later with the same error of the last ROM I tried to flash yesterday (attached).
Is that meaning I used another time a uncompatible ROM?
(Yesterday) S124_140403_rooted_twrp_gapps
(Today) P780_ROW_S123_131231_rooted_twrp_gapps
both for ROW.
Can anyone say something about the attached png error?
Thanks!

I have the same problem. Sh1ts started when I try to make backups. First, Mobileuncle said: no sd card?' No sdcard0,nosdcard1. So I didn't make backup on my IMEI's. But that is is my little problem. Generally, I saw that there were 2 versions: 4gb Chinese and 8gb row. So i opened explorer and saw 8gb storage. I thoght that I'm row. But I coudn't see version of my rom. Whatever, I decided to flash Russian version VIBE 2.0 lite etc. with replaced files for 8gb. Instled drivers and flashtool. It always gave me same error: DRAM FAIL 4032. Then, I tried to flash cust. recovery for the model. After flashing recovery it wen into a brick or bootloop. Now the screen wan't turn on. I read your guidens above, but when I try to flash stock rom it says: dram fail 4032, cant change preloader with yours couse mdchecksum doesn 't get right. When i try to flash to flash Russian VIBE with your pleloader it says not enogh space 1011. I think the drivers work properly, because spft recognizes the device and see it on com8 etc...
I am really upset... please anwer. Thank you for being there for us.

Hi.
Go there and download your firmware !
Flash it !
For custom recovery go there and download ROW ONLY recovery(openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0rev2-p780row.zip)!
Creeate one folder, unzip the recovery img and Copy the scatter file from your firmware in that folder.
Here is one "small" tutorial for rooting!
If its not working PM me !
Hello everyone,
Before reading this, please be advised that I have read every topic related to this phone and tried everything (step by step) but I couldn't find any solution yet for the problem I have, so here it is:
Bought this phone one year ago and I'm very pleased about his performance. Yet, some months ago i might flash a ROW ROM version - I didn't had any clue what I'm doing - and the problems started...
Since one month, I'm flashing my phone every day trying to get it work but without success phone is Lenovo P780 CMIIT ID : 2013CP5888 - I assume it is made in 2013 and the details on the back are written in chinese.
The problem : all apps crash after installing stock rom (china version) and once the phone is off it won't boot (after repeatedly pressing the red button sometimes it starts). Every time after flashing it works for a few hours then it stops (freezes/restarts and keeps the logo picture untill I press the red button under the back cover)
My last flashing attempt (few hours ago):
Step 1. I have installed P780_S129_130710 ROM with SP flash tool
Step 2. I have installed LiFe_v07 4GB CHINESE ROM with SP flash tool
Phone is off now, I can't boot it since some hours and have left it to charge.
PS: i have all the drivers for flashing correctly installed
I'm very frustrated because i'm having the same every day and I can't seem to solve it yet. If someone would guide me through solving it I would be very happy :good::fingers-crossed:
Update:
Just flashed again the step 2 ROM, here is the SS of current ROM version

Can you flash Baralabi KitKat firmware? Or do you want JellyBean ?
Hi Stympy,
To be honest, I just want my phone to work (without any app crashes)
I would try any Roms if stable enough, I'm just tired of flashing all day

Hi @stympy,
I would like to take a moment to "Thank you !" " for all your efforts while sharing all these posts on Lenovo P780 forum.
Few days back, I faced an issue during rooting my P780 and phone went to "Charging light ON rest NOTHING" condition.
I referred numberous posts and solutions on this forum and then found a way of flashing stock ROM using SPFlashtool.
I was using Windows 10 on my laptop and SPFlashtool didn't worked well (tried v3 & v5).
The reason being, due to "Driver signature verification" as it didn't allowed to load mediatek driver.
Once I disabled it, the flashing tool work flawlessly and I was able to bring the phone back to life.
I spent around 2 days troubleshooting this issue. While searching solutions for this issue, I came across your MANY posts which were very helpful.
So, I would like to THANK YOU from bottom of my heart for being so much active while helping others on this platform.
Keep up the great work !! Have a great time ahead. !

Hi. Go to development section.
There you will find stock firmware for your phone 8 or 4 gb. Download the one you need.
After download go to q&a section on rooting tutorial for kitkat and download spflah tools 3 an 5. Those are the tools recommended for this phone. Those are modified tools for Lenovo P780. Download. Be careful to check if your NVRAM is intact. Settings/about phone. Look in IMEI area and see if your IMEI is there.
If not this is another problem to solve.
If your IMEI is lost look for my post tools for recovery IMEI.
Good luck.

You cannot check now. You must flash firmware again.

No. You did not brick your phone.
You must reinstall the drivers.
Before reinstalling drivers try this: when you flash the phone you must press red small button located on the back of the phone under the back case, metal back case. Start spflash tool, load scatter file, select firmware upgrade, press download and now press the small red button for 20 seconds. Tell me what is going on.

Try this:
1. Open device manager
2. Leave the window open
3. Power down the phone
4. Plug the phone to your USB cable
5. Look now on device manager window on ports section
6. In ports section will appear something like MTK 6.5.x.x preloader or MTK 6.5.9.2 com port x, where x is a port number.
7. This thing will appear for max 2 seconds, then will disappear.
8. Tell me what you have there so i know what you have to do.

Did above all steps...
Got a message saying all drivers are upto date
Then Opened SPFT v5
Loaded the scatter file
pressed download
Also connected the USB at same time
Now it gives error saying(" BROM Undetected rom ")
Update :
Hi the phone started
All i did was just change to download in SPFT v5 & it worked voila...
The IMEI number is still intact, It does show in settings of the phone..
The only problem i have now is i dont have a WLAN MAC address ,Bluetooth address & IP address in the status in settings
Update:
The phone now as i have tested so far does not have any range for the mobile network
Phone memory & sd card is though showing properly.
What course of action to be taken forward. Kindly advice.
Hi,
i also brocked my Note 3...
After updating with SP Flash tools 1516 my phone does not show any sign of life...
I flashed the last chinese stable from xiaomi and SP flash finished with the green hook
Now the phone does not boot, the screen is black and if connected to the charger there is
no red light and i dont know if it charges at all
I can still repeat flashing the phone but to no avail. Connecting the phone to
usb while holding VOL +, Vol - and power there is "connecting and disconnecting"
sound from WIN7.
However Miflash does not recognize the phone anymore.
Could it be that there is a problem with the locked bootloader ?
I read some threads on Mi4 phones where they had to shorten some testpoints on the motherboard
to get the phone back to life, maybe there is a similar way for the Note 3?
I already did a lot of successfull flashing with other phones so i didnt expect any sort of problems....
Any help is really appreciated !!
Greetings
Joachim
Same problem here
Redmi Note 3 came with some unoffical multi language ROM preinstalled (7.00.11.00)
OTA did not work, downloading update onto the phone and updating via Update-App did not work either, so there was no other way than using SP Flashtool to get some official ROM on it
Downloaded official 7.0.19.0 and loaded it into SP Flashtool => Flashing went without any fault (green hook at the end) but phone doesnt do anything since then
You should untick the first option in flashtool (preloader). I had the same problem once. Here is a video which helped me and saved me device. Follow the instructions and you'll be ok. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3TmXtOA0IA

It was a big mistake selecting "format all" option. Now everything inside your phone is deleted (including IMEI). Big problem. Who suggested you to do this?

I was in the same boat as you. The only way to revive my RN3 was to select format and download otherwise it would not turn on. I then experienced the no imei issue as you are. When I did was follow a guide which I got from en.miui.com under tips and tutorials for Redmi Note 3 where it says to permanent fix imei and worked. I never lose my imei now
