I've been trying to fix this phone for about three days now with hardly any luck.
Problem: When pressing the power button to turn phone on, there is no samsung boot logo. the only thing that shows up is a black screen, [the backlight] it will stay that way until the battery dies.
i know it's not a problem with the display because i can get to the recovery screen by pressing the three buttons. i tried numerous wipes and factory resets, even tried to reboot from there. but it still wont boot up, it only ends up with that black screen. Also the green battery shows which further indicates that it's not a display problem.

That's basically all i know about this phone, i know it's a clone because on the hardware differences under the hood compared to the real S4.
[it's probably a legend or a superking since it's from korea i think] im not sure which operating system it runs, from the looks of it i dont think it has one.
Some things i've tried: i downloaded android SDK, MTK droid tools, SP FLash tools, for some reason, i keep getting error 8200 in sp flash tools and mtk droid tools doesn't detect my phone.
I tried flash updating firmware with adb sideload, it always ends up with an error ''aborted''. i can't enable usb debugging since the phone wont turn on.. :/,
Can anyone help me?
Dead.
I will assume that it is a mtk phone.(that's what most clones are)
Try to boot it with power&volume up or power&volume down.
If it doesn't start,sadly it's a hard brick,and you throw away the phone.
But,if it starts,tell us the mt version.
Also,have you tried to do a manual install of the preloader?

You probably have to SBF and start over from scratch...did you have any nandroid backups? Are you on custom rom?
I don't have any backup (if you mean my files i have save them on pc before the problem). And i was rooted, and i have remove the root, but in about phone was said:
Filmware version: 2.2.1
Baseband version: I9000XXJPY
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build number: FROYO.XWJS8
And now i have done this i said in the start and i have problem. What is the SBF? You can explain me please what i must do? Thanks.
Basically you have to do a HARD RESET and reinstall android OS, im coming from motorola phones and when they get locked up that bad you have to do a hard reset then reinstall the android OS im not sure how it works on samsung have you tried over in the samsung forums? Have you tried doing a hard reset?
No! I don't know how to do it. You can explain me please? Even if i think that will not work (because the download mode is not working!)
Check these links out on how to do a hard reset basically you power the phone up holding a certain combination of power and volume buttons attached are links to a guide and video of how to do it...give that a try and let me know if that helps....basically its a factory reset so all info is lost...i think that link you tried above in your post is not for your device.
Try These...

I have tried my friend, but i can't move on to the second step, because the same white screen with logo at&t appears and is flashing...I can't escape from this screen..
even if you remove the battery? Can you get it to shut-off?
I have tried remove the battery, connect it to pc and do the step but is not showing nothing!
Take out the battery, leave it out for 30sec, reinsert it and hold the [vol+]+[home]+[power] untill the first bootscreen apears. Then you are in recovery mode and can perform a wipe/factory reset.
If this does not bring up your device you need to download odin, and a firmware rom, boot your device with [vol-]+[home]+[power] (dont connect to pc until odin is set up and ready to flash) this brings you to download mode then select the firmware image in odin as pda (most likely you need to unzip first, the firmware is called xxjvt...tar) close all kies related stuff in taskmanager, now connect your phone to pc and wait for odin to show 'added' in console box. Now click start, wait for your device to reboot. Done.

have you ever been able to enter recovery using that 3 button combo? there are devices that have those disabled. in that case a usb jig is the only help.
after getting it going i highly recommend to enable the 3bc with a different bootloader, there is also info in the GalaxyS Subforum.
Ok. My only hope is Jig now. I hope will work and for me.
Jig after very one and half week came! I have done all and it's all ok now. Thanks for the help buddies!

That's basically all i know about this phone, not sure what mtk version it is either, i know it's a clone because on the hardware differences under the hood compared to the real S4. also it shows mt65xx [i installed the driver for it btw] when connected at battery screen.
[it's probably a legend or a superking since it's from korea i think]
Some things i've tried: i downloaded android SDK, MTK droid tools, SP FLash tools, for some reason, i keep getting error 8200 in sp flash tools and mtk droid tools doesn't detect my phone.
I tried flash updating firmware with adb sideload, it always ends up with an error ''aborted''. i can't enable usb debugging since the phone wont turn on.. :/,
Also can i make it work with a stock recovery img. or something?
Attached: battery screen, recovery screen, when the phone is powered on, after battery pull.
Can anyone help me?
Hello guys. I have this Amaway A725 Tablet which I have rooted a month before. I tried to change the boot animation, which was when my tablet started rebooting and stuck at boot screen. Then I managed to install device drivers for MTK 6572. Then I tried to boot into bootloader using adb reboot-bootloader. My tab switched off and now I cannot even switch it on. I fear that I would have bricked my tablet. Please help me.

I don't know the device, but I don't think you can brick a device just by changing the boot animation.
Can you reboot in recovery? If so, do a full wipe

A factory reset would not affect the boot animation in any way,shape, or form.
OP: You'll have to see if you can find the stock firmware somewhere. Unfortunately, with little to no documentation and not much incentive for manufacturers making cheap android stuff to bother with all that, it could be quite a task.

Yep I tried factory reset from the Android System Recovery, by pressing the Vol+ and Power Keys. But now I count switch it on by any means and key combinations and I cannot remove the battery because it is irremovable. But if I plug it into my PC Device Manager shows this device "MTK USB Port" connecting and disconnecting. So what do I do?
Found the firmware and downloading it from Amaway.cn website. But what do I do now, how shud I flash it, bcoz my tab wouldn't start up by any means, no recovery, no fastboot, not even showing the charging status. Please guyz I totally depend on u, help me !!!
Folks, tried using the MTk USB Port and Mtk Droid Tools, but how to get the firmware.info or pmt file for it?
BROM ERROR : S_BROM_CMD_STARTCMD_FAIL (2005)

hello everyone
this phone is NOWHERE... i cant believe how few people have this phone in the hacking community.
I've used a guide seen here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCiq21WsFEc
essentially I rooted it in KK successfully. Then I installed TWRP through the twrp app... installed successfully. no error.
Went to reboot, phone does not get past splash. Recovery instantly goes to black (powered off) screen with red LED (tells me the phone is kind of on.. but some serious hardware misunderstanding taking place.)
How can I restore the stock recovery? While it is in this no-display-red-light mode it appears on my computer in DFU... so I know it is possible to still get in there, but I cannot find anything about the stock recovery for this phone.
Can't believe ZTE has little to no support for this phone...
Possible solution
That video seemed to be for the newer model of the zte grand x, thats why its called grand x plus. I had tried it on my phone and it was like stuck in a power up loop, what i did to get out of it is to go into recovery mode by pressing and hold the power button plus the up volume button. One i got in there i just rebooted it. Try that out and see if it works. Im still looking around for a solid root for this phone
Hello, so my phone is stuck in an infinite bootloop orange statefrom unlocking the bootloader and flashing the wrong version of TWRP....... It is a Wiko Tinno, SAS, U307AS... These are the names ive found looking for help. Its a government phone from assurance wireless... But basically i got this hone from my girlfriend i thought it was a wiko ride.... 30 minutes after given this phone i got it stucl in bootloop xD i found a tutorial on here i beleive to root a wiko ridge.... i unlocked the bootloader.... tried to install TWRP once, the phone rbooted to the setup as it factory reset from the bootloader unlock but when i went to recovery TWRP wasnt there.... Why? because it wasnt the right version for my phone..but as i am a little on the slow side i tried it again..... thats when it wouldnt even boot passed the orange state logo screen.... and since i tried to install a cust recovery guess what? i cant get into recovery mode..... the phone freezes and reboots back into bootloop. unlocking the bootloader im pretty sure assurance wireless wont like it and probably wont replace it..... i have been searching the internet and ive tried most things ive found ive tried flash tools sdk tools mtk tools flashing scatter files etc etc... i try and search for a way to fix it every couple days... its been about 3 months now.... im kind of running out of patience ive went as far as opening the back and replugging most of the films in hopes it would reset something to make it work.. if anyone has any ideas or anything please i would love to know...... on phone specs its tinno U307AS assurance its wiko life 2 and some weird gov. phone website its wiko SAS idk..
IMHO you're advised to re-flash phone's Stock ROM by means of Wiko Phone Flash Tool.

i have. i just tried again. i cannot find a firmware or stock rom for my device. i have even tried to usea mt6739 scatter file.
im no beginner to phones here..but im seriously stumped.
Maybe this helps:
Unplug your phone from PC if it's connected. Shut down your phone by clicking and holding for approx 10 secs ALL THREE BUTTONS: VOL UP + VOL DOWN + POWER. If you do this properly, your phone should not self-boot into Orange State anymore.
