Karbonn A25 flashing guide. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

*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:

Hmm i think you Should try to flash Clockworkmod recovery using Research download...
i hope it will work for you... Once if you succeeded and clockworkmod booted you can do anything!
1st i have to mention that i have never used Research download but i did quite a research on it!
2nd i can not give guarantee that it will work! but do hope that it will work :silly:
Now lets start!
it has been reported that ResearchDownload drivers will not work with windows 7 or 8 you will need windows xp you can also install windows xp in Oracle VM VirtualBox once you got hand on xp you can try this!
1: download all these attached files to move forward :angel:
2: install spreadturm drivers
now before you flash your phone with researchDownload you should know that it can change you phone's IMEI number SO BE AWARE!!!
So i will suggest you to read this post

i don't know that how to tackle that problem you have to look it by your self
now you have to learn that how ResearchDownload works
(4.1 - Learn how ResearchDownload Work) read that from this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2165554
basically the writer of the post is explaining how to root spreadturm phone but if you are smart enough you can gather information that you need!
once you understood how to use ResearchDownload i strongly believe that you will recover your phone! Goodluck!
I KNOW THE GUIDE IS NOT THAT GOOD BUT IF YOU WILL DEEPLY TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY I THINK THAT YOU WILL END UP WITH SOME GOOD RESULT

Seems Like HArd Bricked<Plz help>
Hi,
Let me first state the story behind the issue. Two days ago my Samsung S7262 got restart issue as it was not booting and was stucking in the first screen.The Phone was getting heated....Later,I tried to hard reset which did not work,so I went on flushing the ROM.Now, I am very new to this and did not have any prior expertise in it. I used Odin v3 and go Flash File from a site for India(I live in India) and tried to flash the ROM. It got completed but I still faced the issue. Then again I flashed once again which Pass ed too,but again the boot loop issue persist.Now, this time I picked another flash file from another site which was relatively larger and it was too for India. This time I tried to flash...after Pass the phone got hanged and I mistakenly removed the USB and then no display was there and it was looking like a brick!!! Later I researchd and now I repent had I went to service centre instead of applying my wicked engineering mind .Now, after much research, I found that now the phone is detected by PC's device manager but no display and still have that looping issue(I know this bcoz I am able to hear booting sound)...Plz help!!!
I had got my samsung galaxy star pro soft bricked and started to reserch about unbrick
But afraid of going ahead without true guide .
Any one plese help me.
I need complete guide with every single step.

[Q] Help in restore an (almost) bricked HUAWEI G610S-U00

Hi everyone! I'm asking a desperate help to solve a problem about recovery an almost bricked Huawei G610S-U00.
I tell you the story...
Few days ago I've tried to flash the original firmware of this device with the SP Flash Tool. The firmware has been downloaded from another forum.
The flash procedure ends successfully but when I've tried to reboot the phone it powers on correctly but the screen remain black. I can say it turn on correctly because you can see the back ligth of the screen and you also che feel the vibration pushing the power on button.
Now I think that the problem is due to an wrong scatter file or a wrong firmware version.
Now the situation is that the phone turns on and is recognized by the SP Flash Tool and I can do flashing operations but I need the correct files to flash.
Can anyone help me in this situation?
I really thank everyone could help!
Thank you very much

Same problem here. I've downloaded a rom and flashed via SPFlash tools and I end at black screen. But once connected to usb the phone is recognized by the PC so it can be flashed if I have the right files. So if possible , someone with G610s , please make a whole backup and give us the file so we can flash . Please !

Good luck.

Custom preloader must replace the original one in the target_bin folder.
I suggest the SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1304.0.119. You can download from here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/rooting-tutorial-kitkat-t2835605
Good Luck.

i downloaded a different rom, found the "target bin folder", do the PRELOADER have to have the same name as the original one??

Hello,
Just now I studied above topic, because I have a some problem. So according to your discussion I have only one way. But I am only a phone user, not expert concerning the above issue. But I have bit or minimum knowledge so I think I can do it. But I need some help, and direction what and how have to do it. Please let me know from where can I download the best and fixed ROM, (which is the better, 4.2 or 4.4) how can I use flash tools and preloaded file. Please help me or send me a link about video where I can obtain more solution. But it will be better if you provide me some support because I can forward some question If I have a problem. I would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi. I think that i should explain THAT THERE IS NOT AN FIXED ROM just tested ROM. . I reccomend 2 of this ROMS. Life v.07 for Android 4.2.2 and Life v.09 for android 4.4.2.
FIRST READ THIS TUTORIAL AT LEAST 2 TIMES. :laugh:
Now step by step how to doit. This is the hard part for beginners:
1. download in your computer the drivers(i have uploadet to you)
2. install drivers
3. restart your computer (just to be sure) (skip steps 1.2.3 iff you have allready installed drivers)
4. now... turn off your phone
5. plug your USB cable in your computer
6. plug your USB cable in your phone
7. new hardware detected should appear... and should install drivers automaticaly
8. after the drivers are installed unplug your cable from the phone and restart your computer (just to be sure)
9. after restart of your computer download the ROM ,unzip to a known folder,
10. now download the preloader file from this post
11. unzip preloader file, go to target_bin folder and delete existing preloader(preloader_prada_row.bin), and add the preloader you downloadet, and delete any file from target_bin directory with the name Checksum.ini.
12. now load scatter file from ROM directory(should be target_bin directory)
13. check DA,DL WITH CHECKSUM (NOT OPTIONAL)
14. press Firmware Upgrade button (NOT DOWNLOAD BUTTON)
15. now just now plug usb cable to your phone.
16. firmware flash should start.(some red and other color lines should appear)
15. iff the firmware is not starting remove the back case of your phone and hold pressed the little red button from the right side, for about 20 seconds then release. All this must be done with cable pluged in to your phone.
17. after flash is done a green circle should appear
18. disconect your phone and power on your phone
19. lenovo logo should appear. then you should be pacient because it will took some time before android boots for the first time.
20. after this let the phone reboot at least once.
21. now plug cable in to your phone and copy zip archives(example: for life v.09 you must copy P780_s221_LiFe_XVIBE_v09 archive and P780_s223_LiFe_XVibe_v1.1 archive on the media storage or SD Card, on sdcard is better)
22. after the archives are copied reboot your phone to recovery. You can istall Reboot Manager from app store and reboot to Recovery.
23. After reboot to recovery you must go to install and select first archive P780_s221_LiFe_XVIBE_v09. Install and reboot the phone at least once. With the seccond archive P780_s223_LiFe_XVibe_v1.1 the steps are the same.
24. Reboot at least once then your phone is ready to work HARD.
25. Good luck. Hope This Helps You.
26. Do not be afraid. This phones are hard to HARD BRICK. Most of them are SOFT BRICK.
I have uploadet some pictures for 2 tipes of Flash Tool.
So driver is downloaded. Comp is restarted. Device is turned off and plugged on Comp. But automatically install not started. Device started recharge only. ((

Step 15. iff the firmware is not starting remove the back case of your phone and hold pressed the little red button from the right side, for about 20 seconds then release. All this must be done with cable pluged in to your phone.

[Q] Lenovo P780 bricked

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.
Actually I can't flash my phone because my SP Flash Tool doesn't move from 0% in its process.
Shall I try to format it?
Could you please help me explaining the process step by step?
Thanks in advance

Hi there again!
Seems to me that you have some problems with :
1. SP Flash Tool
2. Drivers!
Tell me what drivers do you use, and what FLASH Tool. In detail!
If this dont work maybe we can establish a connection with teamviewer, so i can see what tools do you use and what ROM.

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 !
