Be carrefoul. Windows sees the phone only one second. That second is crucial...
Try this thing:
1.Plug cable on the phone.
2. Open the case of the phone.
3. You will see a red buton on the right side.
4. Open flash tool.
5. Press firmware upgrade on flash tool.
6. Now press the little red button and see what is going on.
7. Now the flash should begin....

from this thread post no2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/p780-bricked-recognized-pc-t2755207
Its important to disable UAC during installation and ignore warnings about unsigned certs. If that wont help follow this list to step no 6
1.Plug cable on the phone.
2. Open the case of the phone.
3. You will see a red button on the right side.
4. Open flash tool.
5. Press firmware upgrade on flash tool.
6. Now press the little red button
And then:
Leave phone plugged and flash tool working (searching for you phone) and install this driver now.
Flash should detect your phone in the middle of driver installation.

Idk your steps is right or not. But ive proven my steps.
There was very many way to fix nvram and imei but, if i not mistaken this way is permanent fix, you dont need restore again after wipe your data.
Here we are:
1st, take your phone go to "meta mode", while phone is turned off, press and hold power and vol down button.
2nd, connect your pc/laptop with your phone via usb, open device management and install cdc driver, install anyway.
3rd, unplug connection and turn off your phone.
4rd, open sn&imei writer, platform smartphone and chack usb, load ap db and modem db.
5rd, write imei, SN, Bluetooth, wifi, which you need. And press start, wait untill the sn writer change say to connect your phone.
6rd, turn your phone in to "meta mode" again, connect with usb cable, wait untill finish.
dONe
Warning: flashing imei, SN, mac address wifi, and bluetooth, That not belong to the hardware is breaking law. You can see your real code at phone setting > about devices, or on back of your phone near battery, or on your phobe dose and manual.

Hello!
I think my MMX Canvas HD A116 has been soft bricked. :crying:
I'd installed DOGE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663763 ROM, and it was working fine. After that I tried to get backup using Nandroid Manager but it was failed. So, I restarted phone in CWM Recovery mode and tried to backup data from there.
But after that, my phone went dead.
Screen starts for few seconds but it is not showing boot logo and even I'm not able to go into recovery mode also!
My PC or SP Flash Tool is also not recognizing phone.
Will USB Jig work for MMX phones? Is there any hope?!
Please help!

Thank you Shivraj for replying.
But as I said in earlier post, my phone is not going into recovery mode. As I press "Volume +" button, it goes off. I wish somehow I can at least boot my phone into recovery mode!
Have anyone tried USB jig for Micromax phones?

That right. Even if USB Jig works on MTk, it will also result in rebooting after 2-3 seconds which you are getting after pressing volume + button. You can only install correct MTK drivers and then install stock rom.

Flashtool Automatic Select All IMGs AND FILEs
NOW Completely Turn Off Your Phone
In Flashtool..Click On "DOWNLOAD" Button
Install USB Driver AND Connect Your Device To Computer
If Everything Is Right Then Process Will Start...Wait Till All Progress Completion
After All Process "GREEN CIRCLE" Appear In Center..
DISCONNECT PHONE AND POWER ON...THAT'S ALL
the correct drivers for mediatek is attached below.
Also, the process after "In Flashtool..Click On "DOWNLOAD" Button" , should be:
1. Open device manager
2. Connect your phone to PC through data cable.
3. New device will appear in device manager for 5-10 seconds only.
4. Quickly right click on newly appeared device and selected update driver.
5. Select drivers from downloaded and extracted attachment.
6. It will successfully install driver.
7. Remove data cable from phone and again insert it in phone.
8. SP tools will recognize it and automatically start flashing since you have already pressed download button earlier.
9. Flashing will complete in 3-4 minutes.
Thank you so much! Finally unbricked my MMX A116

It had to me once, when I was going to flash the stock rom from SP Flash tools. I think there was some drivers problem, and the process stopped in between, and when i tried to turn the phone on, it only emitted some light and would stay that until the battery would drain. After a few days, it went dead, no response. This was the time I realized that I had to give it to a service center. Unfortunately, the service was awfully bad, and my phone came repaired back after 3 MONTHS! So, I recommend, that you hand it over to a non-micromax service center (as your warranty is now void), and try your luck! All the best!
P.S. My CHD is working awesome now, installed MiUi

Ok here it is:
1. download in your computer the drivers
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 start flash tool
10. load scatter file from ROM directory(should be target_bin directory)
11. check DA,DL WITH CHECKSUM (NOT OPTIONAL)
12. press Firmware Upgrade button (NOT DOWNLOAD BUTTON)
13. now just now plug usb cable to your phone.
14. firmware flash should start.(some red and other color lines should appear)
15. iff the firmware is not starting remove the case of your phone and hold pressed the little red button for about 20 seconds then release. All this must be done with cable pluged in to your phone.
16. after flash is done a green circle should appear
17. disconect your phone and power on your phone
18. lenovo logo should appear. then you should be pacient because it will took some time before android boots for the first time.
19 Good luck.

Hi All,
Have seen the numerous posts on this forum for the Lenovo P780, but cannot for the life of me get mine to work again
Model: P780 4GB (believe it is the Chinese version as when I first started it, Android was in Chinese (hence me trying to replace the ROM).
Here are the symptoms:
Black screen, won't power on, cannot even get into factory reset mode.
Tried the reset button on the back of the phone (some say 3-5 seconds others say 20 seconds - Tried both, nothing!).
Tried to fix the problem by doing the following:
Download the SP Flash Tools version 5.1352.01 and ran them on my Windows 7 Machine as Administrator.
Loaded the P780_ROW_S226_4GB_KIT_KAT (as this is what I thought would do the trick.)
Selected the MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt file and then Firmware Upgrade set, then hit download, connected the phone to the laptop (red light on the phone), SP Flash Tool then goes to 100% Download DA (in red), and then the message "Unrecognized ROM detected".
That's it nothing else. Can't power on the phone.
Any advice help would be appreciated before I throw this phone through a window!!!
Thanks,
Mak.

Hi Stympy,
I have managed to get an Android ROM installed on the P780. Details are:
Android version 4.2.1
Build: P780_S136_140306
The only problem now is that the rear camera does not work, and have been told that trying to install a non-standard ROM could have blown the rear camera.
As I am not experienced with flashing these (or any other types of smartphones), I have no idea if this is correct.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Your phone is not powering down ?
Lenovo P780 is flashed by powering down.
You power down the phone, prepare to flash and when you are ready just plug the USB cable with the phone powered down.
That is it.
That not works, phone is powered down, but after connecting cable is powering on into system...

Try this:
When the procedure to flash is ready, with the USB cable connected press the red button and keep the button pressed, then press download in SP Flash Tool and release the button. Do all this in this order. Tell me what is going on?
The flash should start.

(vibeui_v2.0_1443_7.25.1_st)
In device manager phone is detected as MT65XX preloader in about 5 seconds - after that it bootloops.
EDIT:
solution:
Open "Device Manager" on your Windows PC.
Plug in your phone through the micro USB cable. A device will show up for a few seconds in "Device Manager". After that, it will disappear again!
Recognize the device tree where it appeared, and wait for it as you unplug and plug in your phone again (if bootloop, its automatic!)
Catch it with a right click as it appears! Then choose "Update Drivers" and pick the directory where you uncompressed the drivers you downloaded above. Its ok if after catching it the device disconnects. You only need to install the drivers now.

I understand now. Your computer does not recognize your phone. The drivers are not installed at all or correctly.
Download the drivers from here and install them. The drivers are at the bottom of the page.
To flash use only the sp flash tools from here.
Small tutorial to install the drivers:
I think was someting like this:
1. First install the .exe file. Reboot PC.
2. Now plug the phone to the PC and new hardware wizard will appear. Unplug the USB cable.
3. Now power off the phone.
4. Again plug the phone this time powered off.
5. At this time in Device Manager appears for a second or two not in USB area, in ports area something with.. MTK65xx...
6. Click very fast on it because that will dessapear fast.
7. After you clicked on it all you have to do is update driver, and voila you have drivers installed and now all you have to do is to flash you ROM.
Hope this will help you.
Good luck.
