[Q] [Hard Brick][MTK] Mtk 6575 Hard brick - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I Flashed a rom using sp Flash tools on a S4 clone that has mtk chipset. I got that rom from needrom.com and it had over 25+ 5 star ratings.
The installation went fine , i got the green circle but then the phone wouldnt turn on. It doesnt go in recovery ,doesnt charge, does not even get detected on computer.
I think that the rom file that i downloaded got corrupted because of pausing and resuming it ,(has happened with other files like movies ,so i am just guessing).
If anyone can possibly get me a way of repairing this phone or can guide me to some thing ,it would be great.
I can try out the Jig method but i am not sure that it does work with mtk devices.
I bought this mobile for around 80$ so i will not be paying much for fixing this.
Poor me This mobile is no better than a Dummy put on shops..
Fixed it now!!!!!

how did you fix it??

i had also bricked my mtk6575 i9300... dnt knw how to recover it

How u fixed it

Ok so problem solved.... unfortunately it will delete everything on your phone....i simply flashed the phone using SP-Flashtool and a rom from here => http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=324294&uk=540296524#dir/path=/Rom/Goophone I5 Rom supplyed by Zap ...
its the version v18 ... theres a v22 also you can download from http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=412131&uk=3022339290 but i havent tryed it yet so i dont know how well it works....
can you see what version your stock rom is? ... i think mine was 27 but im not 100% and i have been looking for a later version stock rom but i havent found any yet.....so yee.... the rom i installed now semes to be pretty much the same although it gave me lower antutu scores than the first one i had...dunno how mush that has to do with the software.... but userwise i havent noticed any major differance more than the charging animation thats different when the phone is switched of..and yes the system recovery 3e is in english
now ofcourse these roms are for the Fastcardtech Goophone I5 N2 micro simcard!!!
all is done at your own risk!!
also you HAVE TO INSTALL the mtk6577 VCOM driver in order to be able to use the sp.flastool correctly.....anything else might **** up your phone.... theres a good tutorial here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2206421
good luck and please post what stock version you have running now!! and if the phone is running fine otherwise maybe you want to reconsider flashing it since the versions i posted for download are v18 and v22....would love to get my hands on the newest stock rom...(did try to just flash the recovery image from the v18 but it bricked my phone)

did you flash the colonelzap recovery with flashtool??
if your colonelzap cwm works then you should back up your rom with cwm...
(I have not tryed it my self but i think it should work)
download this rom
http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=412128&uk=3022339290
uncompress and youl find a file called RECOVERY.IMG.....
now open your flashtool (i use sp-flashtool) and load the scatterfile "MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt"
the flash tool is gonna show you a list with all the files that where in the zip..
uncheck all of them so the only one that is checkes is the RECOVERY.IMG ....and then you flash and TADA.....you should have your old S3 recovery back
if it all goes to **** you can just flash the complete rom and it will work.. .....atleast if you have the gooptone i5 n2/lte mtk6577
dont use mobile uncle for these files...that screwed up my phone....they need to be flashed to the phone!!
AND... this is the international v18 rom... dont know what version you have right now....but if you manage to make a back up rom of your phone PLEASE SHARE!!! .... ive been looking for the later international rom....and if you have the backup you can allways upgrade from the v18....so
GOOD LUCK!! ...keep us posted! ...and if you need more flashingdeetales you can just google or ask
CWM Goophone i5 N2 black screen
Hi , I have similar issue like this ...
I have Goophone i5 N2 from aliexpres.com
It's come with original ROM and with Root, unfortunately it has lot of bugs . So I would like to install custom ROM from Colonelzap.blogspot
I spent more then 2 days with trying to flash Clock work recovery mode . So I'll be able to flash new ROM. But there I'm stuck
I red several tutorial for instalation , I did go trough threads here on forum , etc but still without any success .
1, I tried to use MobileUncle MTK for set recovery image with image from colonel zap blog
2, I tried to use (maybe 10 different version of) SP Flash Tool and still got 2 issue (4050 or 8038) during flashing
I used recovery image from Greg's Mobile gadgets
And result is still same , When I try to load to recovery mode , I still got black screen only .. And I have to restart mobile again , then it start up normally ...
I'm starting to be little bit desperate
I'll really appreciate any help or advice
PS: because forum rules , I can't add any links to sources which I used .. But I'll response very fast for any questions. Thanks
Dude!! u gotta make sure u have the MTK Vcom drivers installed on your computer......when u got that its easy peasy..... make sure your phone us turbned of and DISSCONNECTED from the coputer... now in SPflashtool you load the rom that u wanna flash and you press the transfer button....when thats done the computer is gonna start looking for the phone.....this is the moment you connect your phone to the computer....otherwise it wont work...windows will start looking for som other crap driver to use with your phone.......
if u wanna get ur phone to work well you should go to the talkingmobi blog and download the stock rom and flash that one....then when thats done flash the CMW and throu that u put in the manuxo rom!!......thats more or less what ive done...altho i made my own rom...but its more or less the same as manuxos just with less chinese crap...but that u can do your self when u got the phone set up...easyest way i think is with "root app remover" that u can get for free from the app store...or "Playstore" to be precise... good luck!!

Hi ,
I did this , several times . I installed correct Vcom driver, and update to last version . And I did follow steps for SP Flash tools. And i can see for aprox 2 sec , load driver for Vcom for Mediatek and So I think , that this part I made correctly.
When I tried load scattle file in to SP flash tool , and then run download and after that I connect switch off phone via cable .
SP FT find mobile via Vcom , and start upload and I see red progress bar on 100 and then after couple seconds I got error message :
1 , sometimes : BROM ERROR: S_FT_NEED_DOWNLOAD_ALL_FAIL (4050) ...
2, or : SP Flash Tool error 8038
ohh yee... ive had that aswell when i flashed the ladies n9589.....thats either due to a bad rom...maybe some error when you downloaded it OR ande most probably an incompatible version of SPFlashtool.... sometimes you have to try diffrent versions to get it to work on your specific phone... if u got the goophone i5 n2/LTE then you should try "SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1224.01"...
Thats the one i use for flashing my goophone and it works just fine.....and when you flash the CWM you should first boot up the phone with the latest rom you flashed b4 cause if you flash on an unbooted rom it wil most probably brick your phone so u gotta do the complete romflash from scratch....remember most costum roms are basically like "CWMbackups" that people do on their modifyed roms and spread....so with spflashtool you allways need to start with a propper rom with scatterfile....but ye....try running annother version of spflashtool... like the one i wrote in top...works for me ...and u can find it on goolgle

I used your suggested version of SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1224.01 and I used 2 different recovery.img , but in both tries i got same error as you can see on image
So i tried to upload new rom .
And it's look like a made a brick from this ... Now it doesn't respond at all ... SP flash tool doesn't recognize mobile at all
I can't connect now to the SP flash tool , it's just dont recognize phone , I can see only in device manager , which see 2 cards
and when I connect phone I can see for a moment USB Vcom port driver in list and for 1 second I can see that it write
Code:
Device is work properly
and then is change to image
Code:
Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)
To fix this problem, reconnect this hardware device to the computer.
Do you have the ADB drivers installed on your computer? .... might be there where your problem is.....or annother conflicting driver on your computer....google the forums for ADB driver MTK Vcom driver install.... as i get it the computer wont know how to talk linux without the ADB pack.......i think its included in some vcom driver packs but i do believe i had to install that separatly the first time.....check that out...cause it should work.....if now try it with annother computer...could be some crap driver on your computer messing it up...i had an emulator at one point messing my spflashtool up....

So , I don't think so that problem is the driver, because SP flash tool works fine when I try to update firmware , it's finish all task , but then the mobile doesn't start . I think that I don't have correct ROM . I tried 3 different ROM and mobile still not start up . Still just blink screen and that's all . And then I have to some how switch off . Then I'm able to do update again trough SP flash Tool , but I need correct one ROM.
I tried to find stock ROM Goophone-i5-0428-f-yzs.zip , but I found it only on some crazy Chinese site 400GB.com (file/19858713) and I was unable to download it .:silly:
are you sure its a goophone you have?
Also..... your phone NEEDS to be charged with ATLEAST 60% or it will fail....flashing really drains the battery and ive had flashings fail just cause of low battery......but yee.... if its not a real goophone it wont work either way.... or if its annother model....you need to have the correct rom for the right phone or it will fail 99,5% of the times..
dont think i can do much more for u.....running out of ideas......it should work with that assuming your hardware is good.

I saw some fake goophone on net , but it was with dual core CPU MTK 6587 etc ...
When I download SU and some other app like CPU Z ,etc I checked and I didn't see any suspicions information . So I hope that it is real Goophone i5 N2 ...
When I finished update firmware I saw in SP Flash tool that it's show some device info , so I'll add tomorrow another screen from this app.And try to verify if it's original goophone i5 N2 .
But this info about at least 60% of batter is important! Because it was charged about 50 % when I run update!
But process of flashing finished without any errors and in the end I saw Green circle , SO I was thinking that It's was finished successfully .....
Important question is . What should be done after updating new Firmware ?
I just tried to Start up the mobile .Should I do anything else ?
well if you get the green circle then its most probably that your out of battery......leave the phone charging for some hours... flash it and when your doen unplug it from the computer and just start it and wait cause the first boot up usually takes time,.....maybe up to 2-10 min depending on what rom u flashed......if you dont have enough battery to complete first boot you might run in to problems.....and if you wanna test your hardware you press the volume + and power and you get in to the factory hardware test menu just if u wanna make sure that ur phone is ok

[Q] Strange Bricked mtk6589 Note 3 Clone

Hallo experts, i've been xda reader for about 2 years now and i didn't bothered (or needed) to register. Flashed succesfully couple of phones.
My current phone however, has given my too much rage trips So here's the story:
Bought a "Alps U9000" which is a Note 3 Clone based on mtk6589 chipset.
First i made a Backup with MT Droid Tools.
Figured out and installed mt65xx vcom usb drivers.
Flashed couple of roms compatible (or not?) with my phone. First day my phone went totally black dead. But somehow i managet to get a rom that is identicall with stock, flashed and voila. Then i tried couple more similar roms.
They all worked, but after fifth or so, this is the weird thing, my touch became totally unresponsive. Nada.
Since then i tried everything and nothing helped. Bunch of different roms, MY Backup Rom, Restoring Imei,
Plugged mouse to a phone and it works like a charm, but no touch.
Can someone Help?
Hint: I flashed everything with the battery, using MTK preloader vcom driver.
When i tried whole Rom without battery pressing Vol+ it failed.
Only preloader without battery worked, and then the rest with battery worked also.
Dont know if it's relevant.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Flashing your original boot & system image ONLY back to your phone should be enough to restore it.
Don't tick other check boxes in SP Flash Tool.

They all worked, but after fifth or so, this is the weird thing, my touch became totally unresponsive. Nada.
Since then i tried everything and nothing helped. Bunch of different roms, MY Backup Rom, Restoring Imei,
Plugged mouse to a phone and it works like a charm, but no touch.
Can someone Help?
Hint: I flashed everything with the battery, using MTK preloader vcom driver.
When i tried whole Rom without battery pressing Vol+ it failed.
Only preloader without battery worked, and then the rest with battery worked also.
Dont know if it's relevant.
Any help would be much appreciated.

dude I am new in the forum just like you, same situation and I have exactly the same phone, I already searched in needrom and already tryied with several roms, since the original its really really almost impossible to find, I looked everywhere seriously, if you can help me I would be so happy, I just need the link from where you find it or your backup, I know the second choice is asking for too much but with mega is not really that hard, you dont need to help me but if you do it I swear I would help other people with the same phone
what I know about this phone is that its manufactored by alps and they sell it as ulefone model:u9000, my box came with no brand-mark at all, only crap like "Its Android Phone !" quadcore cpu and other stuff
Well, if you need original rom for the device I can share with you.
I just bought another exact same one. Downloaded Rom from it with flash tool via read back option.
Flashed the faulty one with it but still it didn't worked.
System works, WiFi, BT, 3g, but no touchscreen. Only with mouse per USB i was able to test the above mentioned.
I guess I will send it back and hope for a refund or a repair because I am pretty sure the hardware is faulty.
Maybe there is some1 that knows more about mtk devices? Does the phone have only the emmc memory or is there some sort of vram that stores Calibration data for touch, imei number and so on?
After many attempts my N9002 showed signs of life. I managed to flash it with a rom N9000. The cell phone on, the screen is backlit, the samsung startup sound is heard, the back and lie buttons light up menu. But the screen goes black and shows no image.
Someone can help me?
Search for N9002 ROM's in Needrom.

[Q] Goophone i5 DEAD - Please help

Hello everyone! Happy new month as we say in Greece!
I'm new to your forum (but I visit the forum way to often to find answers to some of the problems that my friends have with their android phones)
I am a iOS user since the release of the first iPhone (2G) and i still use that phone as my primary device.
Due to economical issues I never could buy a newer version of the device.
So I thought... an iPhone clone might do the trick for me!
SO I bought a used Goophone i5.
The specs that antutu gave me was that the phone had:
Quad-Core CPU (MT6589 if I'm not mistaken) --> which is a lie, because the phone in factory mode (Power + Vol down told me it was a dual core mt6577)
2GB RAM
I wanted to fresh install the ROM of the phone and I went to needrom.com to find the ROM for my phone.
I extracted the downloaded files and with SP Flashtool i followed the steps to install the ROM.
But once the green circle appeared in my PC monitor, and told me that everything was OK I ejected the phone cable and tried to power on the device.
The device doenst show ANY kind of response to anything (no dev manager port appearance or anything) and that means i cannot install another ROM or even go to recovery mode to install another rom OR even try another ROM from SP Flashtool.
I tried to locate the test point of the device but i couldn't since I've never tried that before and i am kinda scared that i will ruin my new pretty shiny iPhone clone.
Here are some images of the inside of the device (not taken by me) :
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img541/2850/ebne.jpg
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img132/1700/u36i.jpg
My questions are the following:
1) Can someone help me find the test point and give me step-by-step instructions on how to connect my phone again to SP Flashtool?
2) Is there a way to avoid finding the TP and just flashing a new ROM?
3) Does someone have the same problem as me out there?
4) Is there a newer ROM with ios7 looks?
Thanks to all,
hope you can all help me and then help you if needed :highfive:

No one knows how to do this?
The things I also tried was to charge the battery from a external charger with leads and connect it to another device to see if it still works.
The battery so does work
But still cant locate the test point and cant connect the device to SP Flashtool.

Flashed a corrupt preloader on MediaTek device. Should I say RIP or not?

Apparently sometimes it's not the best idea to use the flashing software that the manufacturer of your phone released.
I have a Wiko Lenny(technically a MediaTek MT6572) that has(or had - now it's dead) the habit of simply rebooting into a bootloop every few months. Fixing that was simple; just start SP Flash Tool, format everything then flash the stock ROM back. Last time I did that was around 4 months ago, and since then I have upgraded to Windows 10, and as such, lost the tools I had installed.
Yesterday it went into a bootloop again. I didn't remember exactly what tools I used, so I assumed they were the tools that Wiko supplied a while back with the V10 ROM. Well, they weren't. I still thought I'd give them a try. I mean, it's from the manufacturer's site, so they must work even better that the ones I was using.
I was wrong. The tool flashed the ROM "successfully", but the only thing it actually succeeded to do is corrupt the preloader. For those who don't know, corrupting the preloader basically means the phone won't even power on(not boot, actually power on), won't charge, and the PC won't detect anything if you connect the phone. Practically, it's the hardest brick a phone can get.
The fastest way to fix that is by either using a JTAG connection to flash everything manually, or by entering something called the Mediatek META mode(don't quote me on this one, though - I never heard of it before). JTAG - well I don't have the tools or expertise necessary to do that(although I'd love to learn how to do it - if anyone can point me to a well-written guide or two about that, please do!), and I simply can't get the phone to enter the META mode.
Is JTAG the only way to do it? Is META mode just a myth? Is there a way to save my phone, or should I just say "RIP" and buy a new one(I have the money for a Samsung Galaxy A3, the new one, but I was planning to buy a new computer with that money - is it worth it?)?
TL;DR (It's not that long but anyway...):
I have a Wiko Lenny(Mediatek MT6572) with a corrupted preloader after I flashed it with Wiko's tool. Can I repair it or should I just buy a new phone?

Come on people, let's fix this little guy.
EDIT: Please, just tell me what your ideas are... A tip, a crazy idea, some details about MTK devices that could help, anything is appreciated.
Please...
Looks like I'm getting the 10 posts just by begging people to say something... :crying:
I have an MTK phone and its always going wrong and not booting/turning on because I mess with it and break it
I'm sure I flash the backup I made in mtktools with spflash, and plug the phone in with no battery attached, I also have to use windows 7 on a dual boot as windows 10 never played ball properly. You also need the mtk VCOM driver installed, not just adb and normal drivers. If you have all these, and have tried them, then that is the end of my knowledge sadly. Only other thing is going to needrom and seeing if they have a full rom/backup with partition tables/preloader etc.
Also, had to try a few versions of sptools as certain versions didnt work, forget which one I have and which didnt work. And also had to use a samsung USB lead as the stock one didnt work, or the other way round. I just remember it was a ball-ache but did eventually work. Am not on that pc so cant be more helpful, sorry....

Thanks for replying. I'm not sure if I have the VCOM drivers, but I'll check. Luckily I also have a Win7 PC besides this one, so I'll try it there too.

Repair your own device
Soft Brick: Soft brick is the state of android device which occur due to some software problems like boot loops or phone freezing at some point during boot. This only occurs if some software problem occurred in the device mainly during OS upgrade or ROM flashing. If your device is in such state then you are luck there are 99% chances that you can recover your beloved device without needing any professional help or spending hundred of dollars.
Hard Brick Hard brick is the state of android device that occurs when your device won’t boot at all i.e. no boot loop,no recovery and also not charging. This occurs due to trying to flashed firmwere not made for your device or flashed incorrectly. This is more difficult to resolve and often require professional help
in MTK Android there is many Partitions in your phone. like Preloader, Recovery, Bootimg etc….. if somehow Preloader get Corrupted then you phone will not able to DETECT WITH PC !!! in other words you will have phone with BOOT DEAD.
How Preloader get corrupted ?
There could be few reasons but main reason could be that someone or you Flash your complete phone (include Preloader) with wrong files or with wrong ver. Also there could be reason someone Delete Preloader or you Deleted.
How could i know my phone have preloader dead ?
Preloader can be dead if some one Flash it wrong and after flash your mobile will not detect with pc any more. for confirm
1.sp flash tools does not detect your phone anymore and also the computer does not as there is a pop sound when usb is connected to device
2.open device manager
take battery out from phone
insert usb
insert battery
and check is computer detecting any device
If it’s not detect then you have phone which Preloader is dead AKA Boot Dead
How can i repair it ?
requirement
1.screwdriver (by which you can open the screw from handset)
2.bricked device
3.a usb cable
4.a copper wire( for sold test points)
5.a pc with sp flash tool,mtk drivers and stock firmwere for your mobile
now you have to disassemble your phone and take pcb out. check there should be some Golden points. check these points there should be written on them Rx,Tx,GND,Vcc,Vcharge etc… check there should be written “COLO” or “KOLO” or“KCOLO” you have to Sold that point with GND After Sold Attach usb now your phone will detect with USB !! and now ready to Flash.
In some phones “COLO” or “KOLO” or “KCOLO” not written for those type of phones you have to test all points one by one Short Golden point with GND and attach usb cable which point short with gnd can able to detect your phone by pc isForce Preloader Mode Test Point !! Keep in mind Don’t Short Vcc,Vcharge or any other pin which have 4.x Volts also i had tested “Colo” or “Kolo” or “KCOLO” don’t have any kind of volts.

HI sir how can I contact you
Hi I also have the same problem - when I flashed the stock rom of my LG K7 X-210 (MT6580__lge__LG-X210__m13g__5.1__ALPS.L1.MP6.V2.19_ARIMA6580.WE.L_P42) with the SP Flash tool when I was in a bootloop, I accidentally forgot to uncheck the preloader option. I flashed it to my phone and from that point onwards it didn't want to start up any more, nor would it react if I tried charging it. So conclusion: the preloader is corrupt...
However, I read online that MTK devices (mine is MT6580) have a 'meta' mode which allows your device to still connect to SP Flash tool even if it is hardbricked (in my case by pressing the volume up button, and then simultaneously plugging it in the computer). It is then recognized as MTK Com port something in device manager.
Luckily I have the same phone (but it's not mine) and I was wondering if it was possible to make a full rom dump from that device and restore it on mine? (a method that is safe for the other device as well)
i have a proble on my new phone since i flash preloader my touch is not working anymore, any solutions ?

I need to repair preloader of My Nokia G20.
hello this is very simple.
i solved this problem.
i wrte english very small.
flash atarken yanlış attığın preloader dosyası ile başlat.cihazı bilgisayara bağla.format bittikten hemen sonra doğru preloader dosyasını klasörün içine yapıştır.ama çok hızlı olmalısın.yani uyumsuz preloader dosyası ile cihaza yükleme yaparken tam format esnasında uyumlu olan preloader dosyasını hızlıca yapıştır.
