[solved] radio off problem in mtk devices
hi, atlast i have found a solution of the "radio off" problem. It will definitely work...........just follow my instructions............
1. First of all you need to have the stock rom for your phone which you can easily find by googling.
2. Now run the sp flash tool in your pc.
3. click on the "scatter loading" botton and select the .txt file by browsing your downloaded stock rom.
4. Now click the "format" option on top of the flash tool.
5. Now switch off your phone and connect it to your pc via usb cable and press the up/down volume bottons for detecting.
6. once detected, your phone will be formatted.

8. Now click on the "download" option on top of the sp flash tool.
9. and again connect your phone and make it detected in the same process described earlier.
10. once the flashing is completed you will see a green o .
11. now disconnect your phone and switch it on, and the radio of your phone will be turned on.

Man many thanks for your post finally got it working
Hi,
i have bricked my P780 after flashing with new firmware. Now the Phone is dead with black screen and doesn't start after pressing Power button. After a few trials with SPflash (3.x) i recognized that SPflash had a problem with reading the Scatter-file i.e. the adress mapping. The adresses were set for all areas from 0x0000 to 0x0000. When flashing the phone i didn't see that and i think this is the reason for the dead phone (stupid old man
With Spflash 5.x the Scatterfile was read correctly.
Anyway: Now the phone was detected by the Win7 device manager as Mediatek USB Modem but it works not correctly with SPflash (3.x or 5.x).
I could neither download new firmware nor format the flash. I get always the error: "BROM error DA download to Baseband SRAM failed".
Sometimes i get the message that the power up sequence was problay to short and the bootmonitor sequence didn't work.
Both states are reached after pressing the reset button on the backside when the phone is connected to the PC.
Is there any chance to get the phone working with SPflash again or do i have to use a JTAG-Tool ( if there is one for Mediatek-chips)?

Hi. First look on the box of the phone. Iff there is something with a date that is something like 03.2014 or more like 09.2014 look what you must do:
1. download SPFlash Tool from here. This are the correct tools for Lenovo P780. DO NOT USE OTHERS.
2. now download the preloader file from here and the drivers from here. And yes, you must reinstall the drivers because your preloader is messed up.
3. unzip preloader file, go to target_bin folder and delete existing preloader(preloader_prada_row.bin), and add the preloader you downloaded, and delete any file from target_bin directory with the name Checksum.ini.
4. now load scatter file from ROM directory(should be target_bin directory)
5. check DA,DL WITH CHECKSUM (NOT OPTIONAL)
6. press Firmware Upgrade button (NOT DOWNLOAD BUTTON)
7. now just now plug usb cable to your phone.
8. firmware flash should start.(some red and other color lines should appear)
9. 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.
10. after flash is done a green circle should appear
11. disconect your phone and power on your phone
12. lenovo logo should appear. then you should be pacient because it will took some time before android boots for the first time.
13. Good luck. Hope This Helps You. If not post here again.
Hi stympy,
sorry for the delayed feedback but i had no time to test it until now.
But you where completely right! It was the wrong preloader and the wrong drivers.
Now the phone is running again! Thanks a lot!
Best regards!
(Mmx A311 )How to backup/extract stock recovery.img (FLASHIFY & SP FLASH TOOL NOT WOR
Can any expert tell me how to backup my stock recovery.img file in micromax A311 ..
[[ i ve tried flashify to backup stock recovery but it hangs everytime in A311 and also tried sp flash tools but FAILED ]]
..my phone is already rooted.
Help me plz
Take Readback backup of Entire Rom/Recovery on Micromax Nitro 2 E311
Steps:
1. Download Mtk droid Tools, SP Flash Tools, drivers for your phone, (no need, just connect your e311 to pc and choose connect as built in cd rom and install drivers).
2. People having windows 8/8.1/7 first of all disable driver signature verification(google it, pretty easy)
e.g. on windows 8/8.1 go to bottom right corner,choose setting on charm bar,select change pc settings, update and recovery,go to recovery,advance start up,restart, advance startup/troubleshooting, disable driver signature verification by pressing 7 on keyboard(you need physical keyboard, touch keyboard won't be there).
3. READBACK ROM BACKUP
i. open/run as administrator MTK droid Tools, your phone should be switched on, connect it,accept usb connection on phone, let the droid tools detect it and show its specifications.(make sure usb debugging is enabled)
ii. click on blocks map, a window tile of block info will pop up. Note down or better save it using notepad++/screenshot by pc or ms word file, you need values of preloader and userdata/(some other phones may show FAT,don't panic,it's just your internal sd partition) under scatter column(also note the values under size column for backing up a single item like recovery, for entire rom you only need scatter column values of preloader and userdata/FAT).
iii. alongwith block info, a tile asking to creat scatter file will pop up, create it. This will be our scatter file for SP Flash Tools.
iv. Disconnect usb, switch off phone. you may close mtk droid tools, it will be needed after next step.
4. Open/Run SP Flash Tools as administrator,
i. click scatter loading and select previously created scatter file.
ii. click on readback tab on sp flash tools..then click on add button.
iii. double click on the item (it should be checked in the selection box)and save it as ROM_0(default) or ROM_1 , it does not matter.This will be a large file approx 3.2 GB so save it to a dedicated folder on pc not usb.
iv. next readback block address tab will open, under start address value will be like 0x00000000, leave it as it is(don't change to 0x0), under length use the value under scatter column of userdata/FAT previously noted in block info..Make note that value entered should be like 0x1234567 and not like 0x0001234567. the zeros after 0x should be removed and only till first non zero value after that and middle zeros like 120458000 shoud be written as it is. The length value may be numeric for some phones but e311 will show like 0x000CDF7000, Don't worry enter it like 0xCDF7000. This is just example not actual value, i assume each phone will show different value.
v. after entering length and pressing ok, click readback and now connect switched off phone.
vi. after that click ok and wait for readback to complete. It will take about 7-11 minutes depending on your pc processor. a green check will appear on completion.
vii. close Sp flash tools, disconnect usb. switch on phone.
5. Open MTK droid tools,connect switched on phone,select the root,backup,recovery tab.
6.Click*To*process*file*ROM_*from*Flash*Tool.
7. *Select*the*ROM_1*file*you*saved*in*the*step*above*in*the*window*that*pops*up.
8.*Wait*for*MTK*Droid*tools*to*finish*copying.
9. *When*prompted*to*make*CWM*Recovery*automatically,*click*Yes*or*No*.*If*you*click*Yes,*you'll*need*to*select
the*Recovery.img*from*the*window*that*pops*up.This will make cwm recovery, take backup of stock recovery.
10. Your Rom backup will be in MTK DROID TOOLS/backup folder. You can now flash cwm created in backup with Sp Flash Tools and also root your phone by flashing supersu.
I mean totally dead as in, only the charging light is showing, no android logo, no recovery mode

Thank you very much @mottaM
Your solution saved my redmi 6a. I had some problems/errors while using spflash tool but after reinstalling drivers and changing the usb cable my problem sorted out.
Also, the new spflash tool is quite confusing for me so i used v5.2152
SP Flash Tool v5.2152 for Windows - MediaTek Flash Tool
Download SP Flash Tool v5.2152 to flash or install Stock Firmware ROM (Flash File) on the devices powered by Mediatek Chipset.
