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!

2. Press and hold the Power button along with both the
‘Volume +’ and ‘Volume -’ buttons until the screen

after 5-10 seconds holding, Then 2 option will appear)
3. Press the ‘Volume +’ button to enter Recovery Mode.

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.
Download Flash Tool , Stock ROM AND USB Driver From Above LINK
NOW Create Folder IN Desktop Give It Name "FLASH"
Copy All Downloaded File In Recently Created Folder "FLASH"
Extract 'SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1304.0.119.rar' AND Also Extract Stock ROM File
NOW Open SP Flash Tools Folder AND Double Click ON "Flashtool.exe"
In Flashtool..Click On SCATTER-LOADING(FOUND IN RIGHT-SIDE) AND Select SCATTER File From STOCK ROM'S Folder
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

Hi All,
Need some help. My Samsung S3 mini i2800L was flashed with the wrong firmware in an attempt to upgrade to Jellybean 4.2.2 using odin and it failed . It remained in download mode and I did a battery pull ,now the phone is absolutely dead. Black Screen for all the following:Recovery Mode and Download Mode .The phone wont power on at all. The only sign of life , is when I plugged into my girl friend's Toshiba laptop via usb cable and it searched and installed the drivers.In addition Windows makes a sound when the device is plugged in and unplugged, but is not being recognized by Kies or Odin. I also tried a USB JIG with no success.
Is there any debrick file that I can use for to place on my SD card and attempt to boot from SD, or is JTAG the only option left?
yes!!! you can UNBrick it!!!
OK ... good news for you is it can still be read by the comp when connected (prompts by audio signal) ... it wont take more than 2 min to unbrick your phone... tell me have if you have a stock ROM available for your device?

file as an administrator (Right click on the .exe file and click on Run as
administrator)
5. Now connect your Galaxy S3 Mini I8200L to your computer via USB
cable
6. In Odin3 screen, you should see a COM Port number like “0:[COM7]” at
ID:COM section and “Added!” text at the message box. This means your
device has been detected by Odin3.
7. Make sure that, only the “Auto Reboot” and “F. Reset Time” options are
checked.
8. Now, extract the downloaded firmware .zip file, you’ll find a firmware file
with extension .tar.md5
9. In Odin screen, click on PDA button and select the firmware file with
.tar.md5 extension (The firmware file look something like:
I8200LXXDLJ5_I8200LODDDLI7_INU.tar.md5)

Hi Guys,
My sister's MMX A116 is totally bricked and not even able to turn it on. Earlier It was stuck in bootloop and she gave it to some mobile repairing shop and they hard bricked it . I can't even boot to recovery. Is there any chance of unbricking it? If yes, please tell how.

MrJukeHardbane,
First of all you need to download A116 Stock ROM, Drivers and SP Flash Tools by googling.
Then Remove your battery of the phone and SIM cards as well as Memory card,
Then install A116 Drivers in your PC then open SP flash tools window by double clicking on Flash_Tools.exe
the windows of SP Flash tool will open then click on Scatter Loading and search for the A116 Stock ROM you downloaded and extracted and find MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc file and open it
find the Download button on the upper side of window and click on it
Then connect your phone to PC with the data cable and try pressing volume up button and power butter simultaneously 3 to 4 times them you can see at the base of the window your phone will get detected and connected with the port and rest process will be done automatically wail till you see the green circle on the screen.
Once you find green circle remove your device and try to start after fixing Battery and Sim card and memory card.
If your phone is soft bricked... It will definitely boot up and it takes about 10 minutes at first boot up so keep patience..
HIT THANKS IF I HELPED YOU :good:

If your phone is soft bricked... It will definitely boot up and it takes about 10 minutes at first boot up so keep patience..

check if your phone connects with the usb port or not?
because this can happen if your phone drivers are not installed or wrong drivers installed
visit micromax website and download drivers for a116 from there first remove old one and install new one then try again.

First of all you need to download A116 Stock ROM, Drivers and SP Flash Tools by googling.
Then Remove your battery of the phone and SIM cards as well as Memory card,
Then install A116 Drivers in your PC then open SP flash tools window by double clicking on Flash_Tools.exe
the windows of SP Flash tool will open then click on Scatter Loading and search for the A116 Stock ROM you downloaded and extracted and find MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc file and open it
find the Download button on the upper side of window and click on it
Then connect your phone to PC with the data cable and try pressing volume up button and power butter simultaneously 3 to 4 times them you can see at the base of the window your phone will get detected and connected with the port and rest process will be done automatically wail till you see the green circle on the screen.

Hi,
I installed Lenovo P780 VibeUI 2.0 version: VIBEUI_V2.0_1512_DEV_P780 and gapps-kk-20150404-minimal-edition-signed.zip.
Then I installed Google Calendar from Play Store. Unfortunately it doesn't sync. If I go to settings/accounts/google there is no "google calendar data" option to choose.

Unfortunately I used [GApps][4.4.2][AROMA]_Aroma_Installer_GApps-v1.5.2 and didn't wipe data before/after. After rebooting the phone got "Lenovo launcher stopped, must be closed". After swithching the phone off and on end up with an infinite bootloop.
I rebooted the phone into recovery mode and wiped data, cache and dalvik and tried to reinstall VIBEUI_V2.0_1512_DEV_P780. After the first launch there is only a chinese text (I guess it might be some error, after clicking the button the same error apears again and again).
I tried to flash a custom revovery (as I end up with a Lenovo-Recovery with nothing to do) with a Flash Tool V5.13.52.200 as described in other thread but after clicking "download" and connecting the phone nothing happens (phone shows red light and a battery charge screen). The phone is recognized by the PC (Win 7) as even after turning the phone on again it is possible to upload files to the SD card using windows explorer.

My device is detected by my computer as I am able to copy files to SD card using windows explorer. I plug the phone and I see "Lenovo P780" in My Computer, then I open it and get access to internal memory and SD card.
BUT - I do not see it in the Device Manager at all... Maybe I will try to do it on the other Windows computer?

Hi. You are lucky. Your phone is detected by your computer !
All you have to do is to flash a custom recovery TWRP CN Version.
After this you could download your firmware again and put it on sd card ! reboot to recovery wipe and reflash your firmware !

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.

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.

For normal layout is TWRP 2.8.4.0 rev.2 and for + layout is 3.0.2-7.
Now, i have seen countless cases of people being not able to flash their MMX A311, as for me I was having the same problem too, turns out that the driver is the main problem.
I was trying out YGDP but i was stuck at "Enabling Download Mode"
and while trying out SP tools i was getting an error "s_brom_cmd_jump_da_fail (0x7f3) " .
Then again, I tried many things, and got my phone working in 10 minutes. :good:
So if u too are stuck, then try my method.
It is highly recommended you do this in Windows 7.
I did everything while my phone was switched off but battery was inserted.
Disconnect your PC from internet just to be double careful about the flashing.
First getting the proper driver:
Now, before installing the driver, make sure that you dont have any other driver installed rather than the one which i will provide, if you think you might have installed some other driver then try removing it by "usdreview" (but it didn't work for me though that's why PLEASE TRY THIS ON ANOTHER COMPUTER OR LAPTOP, MAYBE IF YOU HAVE ANOTHER LAPTOP OR COMPUTER OR MAYBE TRY IT ON YOUR FRIEND'S SYSTEM. THIS SOLVED THE "ENABLING DOWNLOAD MODE" PROBLEM FOR ME)
Download this driver, I did with this one:
Remove the (dot) and put " . " in the link. .
www(dot)mediafire(dot)com/file/8v32j8h5doflzi0/Mediatek+MT65xx+Preloader+Driver(dot)rar
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Extract it and remember where the folder has been extracted to, as it will be needed to install the driver.
Installing the driver:
Open up Device Manager.
right click on My Computer > Manage > on the side pane click on "Device Manager"
Keep it open.
Now first CHOOSE A SINGLE USB PORT WHICH WILL BE USED BY YOU THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE PROCESS. DON'T CHANGE IT!
Now use your usb data cable and insert it into your chosen USB port and then to your phone.
As you will insert it you will see a device popup in 'Other Devices' or some other tab named as "MTK65xx Preloader" or something similar like that.
NOW BE QUICK IT DISAPPEARS IN 3-4 SECONDS !!
Quickly right click on mtk65xx preloader and select "Update Driver Software"
Now as in the new window opened up, select " Browse my own computer to install the driver"
Browse to the DOWNLOADED DRIVER'S folder, select the folder "Win7" for Windows 7 and Above.
Now the driver will be installed.
Now after being installed, take out your phone from the usb cable, dont remove the usb cable from the computer because you make mistake while again inserting it back into to a different port.
Getting the stock rom and YGDP tool:
Now get the stock rom for A311 and YGDP tool from any verified site.
I downloaded mine from :
Remove the (dot) and put " . " in the link.
www(dot)needrom(dot)com/download/micromax-a311
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Download from this site needs user to be logged in, it barely took 2 mins for me to register and download it.
If you have any other site you trust then go on and download it from there, but I recommmend you to follow my steps and sites as I did everything and succeeded.
Download the ROM and also the YGDP tool.
Extract the downloaded file to some specific folder as this is the ROM and the tool required.
Installing and Using the YGDP tool:
I have seen people recommending latest YGDP tool but on the contrary I recommend the downloaded old version from the previous step, it worked for me like a charm!!
Install the YGDP tool from the extracted folder.
After installation, YGDP desktop icon will appear, open it.
put the password as: 369
Now, on the top pane, press the button "Config"
In the window opened, on the side pane, carefully select "8297W" for A311
And after selecting that, on the left side section,
in the " Please select CPB file : " , click on the button beside it and browse for your extracted folder of ROM and select it !
now it click " Apply " button .
It will take 1-2 minutes, and after this you will be brought back to the main window!
Now click on " Start "
And wait till in the bottom message log it says " ENABLING DOWNLOAD MODE" , now follow the next step !!
Flashing your phone:
As YGDP stays in enabling download mode, now insert your phone back to the usb cable which was left out in the computer.
Now, if you did everything correctly, YOUR PHONE WILL BE DETECTED and YGDP will start flashing by itself, wait till it says 100% with a green bar.
Remove your phone from the USB cable and then click "STOP" in the main window of the YGDP tool.
Power on your phone.
Your phone will be successfully be flashed and alive !!! :fingers-crossed:
FROM NOW ON, ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP . :silly:
Feel free to ask questions. :laugh:
If u have suggestions, I'm open for it!! :laugh:
While I am connecting to the computer it does not recognise it and continuously connecting and disconnecting the USB drive and I have tried different ways like why GDP tool and SP Flash tool when I tried with why GDP tool it struck at the entering download mode and when I tried with SP Flash tool it recognise the device but ends with an error message finally the problem is my computer is not detecting the device properly and I have install the drivers manually also but of no use now I am not able to go for go to the recovery mode my phones is continuously rebooting please help me thanks in advance
as you said i have done all the things, and its turned out as green bar. everything is ok, but while power on my device it will only shows the micromax logo it wont go further... kindly suggest me about what to do next...
anyone active here?
