[HELP] SOFTBRICK KATA i1 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been trying to fix my softbricked KATA i1.
The only thing i see is it's logo when I open my phone.
I think they call this BOOTLOOP.
If your gonna ask why it happened, somebody told me that the font i installed is not compatible with my phone.
Yes, my KATA i1 is rooted.
If your gonna ask if it has CWM or TWRP, then NO.
I asked someone on what should I do (browsing forums and stuff)
They said to download CWM through SP FLASH TOOL.
I downloaded a "recovery.img" for my phone and also compatible ROM for it.
So everything is ready.
PROBLEMS?
At first, all computers I insert my phone to have a problem, the windows update can't download the MT65xx preloader.
I tried PDAnet and MT65xx preloader downloadables in the forum, but nothing happens.
CDC Serial always fails.
Due to that SP FLASH TOOL can't detect my phone.
So I tried doing the manual one on a video i found.
I can't post the video link here.
SP FLASH TOOL actually detected my phone but everytime I download the scatterfile, ALL OF IT FAILS.
I already used 3 versions of the SP FLASH TOOL
Every version, different error.
and I don't know what should I do.
I have printscreen but I can't post it in here.
WHAT SHOULD I DO?

I think that scatter files match the CPU.
If the info i got are not wrong, your CPU is MT6577.
So you need a "MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt".
Since things can't go wrong , download one from google...

It's already MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt file.

So have you fixed it...?
So, have you managed to finally fix your kata i1 unit? If you do, I'd much appreciate to know how you did it, as I have exactly the same problem with my i1 unit.
TIA.

Iocean X7 Elite Bricked ('BROM ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL(4032))

I have just received my Iocean X7 Elite and was about to install a new rom. I had successfully rooted the device and then was trying to flash
the recovery with SP Flash Tool.
After the recovery flashed my phone refuses to turn on I believe its somehow bricked but have no idea how this could have happened. I did
format flash i only downloaded the recovery to the device.
In Device Manager when i plug the phone it it either shows up as 'DA USB VCOM Port' or 'MTK USB Port'.
When I try to use SP Tool to flash the stock Rom back onto the device I get an error saying 'BROM ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL(4032)'
I have no idea what to do next can someone help me.
I have tried what this thread suggests:
bump
same as u..but differ phone model.(N9589)
had a few upgrd...til the recent brick it.
Tried a few version of flash tool and still the same

Same problem here - tried to install stock firmware and got this error...
these are common problems when flashing MT65xx based phones,
ie : error 4008, 4xxx, 5xxx whatever those codes mean, no explanation after extensive search on google.
once I managed to flash this one phone successfully, but I don't know exactly what I did.
as long as I recall, I tried to delete the whole flashtool folders, re-extract them, let the phone cool down a bit
and oh, try to press volume up, or down button (varies on devices) while connecting to USB, once the flashing progress bar starts, release the button.
In the flashtool option, at the OPTIONS-->DA DOWNLOAD ALL-->, check WITHOUT BATTERY.
and in the option, DA DOWNLOAD ALL--> SPEED, check DO NOT SWITCH SPEED.
try flashing your phone without battery inserted, it works many times for me.
NOTE : BEWARE, flashing your MTK65xx based phone, sometimes this tool tried to REMOVE YOUR PHONE's IMEI information, so take caution !
I haven't managed how to prevent IMEI removal when flashing those phones, because I'm not a developer.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for your reply, but this doesn't help... ;(
Anyone?
I think I figured out that the error above means you are trying to flash an incorrect ROM. Make sure you are using the right one and also make sure you're using the latest version of sp flash tool.
Once I downloaded a later version of the flash tool it began installing the ROM but then a different error appeared.
So I formatted the nand with the sp flash tool.
Then I flashed the stock ROM again and it worked
Formatting it seemed to make the errors go away even though its advised not to do so.

Iocean X7 Youth
I don't have the same problem but i flashed the latest version of official rom for iOcean x7 Youth : 03 july 2013 : and wtf no more internal sdcard only the rom stockage. So i can't download anything, i can't use camera .
On the official website, I read that before flashing the 20 may 2013 rom one and the 03 July 2013 one, your baseband version have to be 23/04 or higher( you have to flash the 23/04 official rom first). This is only avalaible for the YOUTH version.
So tomorrow i will try what i said below to see if i have internal sd card again.
noob question::: since the iocean x7 young and turbo are the same phones...only different clock rates...will flashing the firmware for turbo on iocean x7 young work??assuming that the mtk6589T and mtk6589 are the same chipset only different clock rates??

Clearly: Wrong driver. I had also this error. SPflash tool did not readback. I did not flash anything! I fixed this by showing the nonpresent devices in devicemanagement (google for show nonpresent devices for explanation)
Go to com ports, and delete all mediatek drivers except preloader driver. Now start over. It can help if you choose the same usb port where you had success last time.
SP flash tool shows in the statusbar which driver it is using.

SP Flash Tool couldn't find my phone, but now it works
It's exactly a windoze driver problem.
Going to devicemanagement, in LAN-Devices I a had an Alcatel device,
chosing driver by hand and use the mtk usb driver, now Flashtool finds the phone

My x920 got bricked randomly. Version: e2001v21_v89_zlh_hd

Hello guys I got a x920 and was working good until it started doing something similar like Samsung Galaxy S3 Sudden Death.
The phone would randomly get a screen freeze, and the half bottom of the screen got distorted like green and pink lines, then slowly, the pixels were turning to black until the whole screen gets black, but the backlight would remain on.
I had to pull the battery out, and sometimes the phone would work again instantly, some other times, it wouldn't turn on, only after some time, and after a lot of battery pulls.
But last time I got this sudden death, the phone never came back.
I had the stock rom and only root.
My model version is: e2001v21_v89_zlh_hd
Most people with this phone have the e2001_v89_zlh_hd, and most roms on needrom.com are for e2001_v89_zlh_hd, there are a lot of roms for e2001v21_v89_zlh_hd though but I tried everything and I got DRAM Failed.
I use windows 8
SP flash tool v3.1304.0.119, v3.1308.0.125, v3.1316.0.150
And several other roms for both versions.
There is a solution from a French guy about the DRAM failed problem here, but I got the S5 rom downloaded as he stated, and can't get pass the first red bar on SP flash tool.
Do you have any idea what is going on with the 2 versions of the phone? People say that they read on chinese forum that v2.1 (e2001v21_v89_zlh_hd) has got different EMMC. So I guess roms from the e2001_v89_zlh_hd wont work.
I would like to know if you guys have any working rom for my e2001v21_v89_zlh_hd because I really need the phone at the moment. I must get it back to life.
ps (Is windows 8 suitable for flashing? I have installed mtk drviers normally through a weird process enabling manual driver installation through the advanced startup thingy on Windows 8, otherwise it wouldn't let me install the drivers.)

ok, there is no difference for using window 8 , xp, win 7, as long as u have installed the driver correctly.
as u said u can see the red bar, that mean yr driver was installed correctly.
all u need is the right preloader.bin
as i can understand from my past experiance, i think that the later batch of the phone, the manufacturer might use different DRAM or they might have changed the coding of the ram. that is why we see quite often there is complaint of DRAM fail when u try to flash the official rom for the phone. Not for newer model of the phone ( yr phone has two/three batches).
so may be u could ask the http://www.needrom.com/mobile/star-tengda-x920/ - smartdigi to create a preloader.bin from their phone for u , then u replace the preloader.bin in yr rom and flash it.
smartdigi is a team from Greece, and so am I, so yes, I just sent a message.
I hope I'll find a solution.

i had read tru the needrom wed regarding thier rom, i saw there is a instruction to pass tru the "DRAM fail."
had u tried that before.
they also had rom that match with yr version.
Yes, I downloaded the rom, and still got DRAM failed.
Is there any way to install smartdigi rom through sp flash tool and not sd card?
here's the link http://www.needrom.com/mobile/star-tengda-x920

ok, i just want to know if the procedure as they decribe will work, as i cannot test it, as i don.'t have the phone.
did u manage to get the preloder from them.
if u get the preloader from smartdigi , u stilll get the "DRAM fail" , then i think , may be their phone is an older batch,
for me, if u can read back from from the SP flash tool, (version 3.1316, (i justy learn that there is v3.1328 available)), then definitely u can flash yr phone with this preloader.bin
note
since u can't even go to recovery, then there is no way u can flash the rom with card flash rom from smartdigi, the only way to recover yr phone is tru cable flash rom that mean, u have to pass tru the "DRAM fail"
Well, I found the problem, the drivers installed are MTK USB Port, and not Preloader VCOM drivers.
I use windows 8 x64, I restarted with bypassing the signature thing.
The problem is, when I try to manually select the vcom driver, after the installation it shows up as MTK USB Port, and not as a vcom port.
Any solution?

no, it does not matter if it is preloader port or vcom port, actually they don,t make difference if u flash the rom.
that mean yr computer is talking to the phone correctly.
now the most important part is the "preloader.bin" file in yr rom must match the dram in yr phone.
that is why u hve to ask who has yr exactly same model of yr phone to create a preloader.bin.
or just try to download the preloader.bin as many as u can.
if u have a friend who has the phone same as as yours, then i can help to create from his phone, or u can create the preloader.bin from his phone
edit,
try to download the latest sp flas tool v3.1324 or v3.1328 ,flash the rom with it.
I tried several roms, with different preloader.bin files, non seems to work.
I tried with all sp flash tool versions, all 3.13904.0.119, 3.1308.0.125, 3.1316.0.150, 3.1328.0.183
Some versions of SP, are not showing up all the files gathered from the scatter file. Some other do.
Well, a smartdigi member, told me to use windows 7, because the mediatek drivers have gone as fas as windows 7 x64.

ya, u could try with win7.
for me i can flash with win8 also.
i use win 7 at home, win8 at office, no problem.
u could try with win7, i think most likely , u will get the same result.
i had brick my s7589, i unbrick it with the right preloader. after that i tried with the preloader.bin that was originally came with the rom.
this time , it can pass tru the "dram fail", get the purple color, then yellow, then finish with green color. then i try to swith on the phone, but, no response from the phoe. it was bricked again.
then i flash back with the right preloader.bin, the phone back to life again.
did u manage to get preloader.bin from smartdigi?
for me, it is the best solution to unbrick the phone. may be there is some other ways that i don't know

Well... installed windows 7 in another partition.
It was like I never did it, exactly the same result. Everything behaved the same.
I don't know... maybe I have crappy mtk drivers, or I'm doing something wrong while installing them.
Let me describe the steps, and if I'm somewhere wrong you can tell me.
Well, after a clean windows 7 install, I connect the phone to the pc (with or without battery,I think I tried both, didn't see something change) it gets to "other devices" as an "unknown device". right click to update driver software, select the folder with vcom drivers.
It gets recognized as a mtk usb port.
Try to flash like that, same results.
Then I go to update driver again, but this time I click "let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer." I uncheck show compatible hardware, then I choose MTK Preloader USB VCOM Port.
the device now shows up to the device manager as "MTK Preloader USB VCOM Port".
Try to flash, everything is the same...
I read somewhere, that the normal installation of vcom drivers is kinda different, that it get's shown up as "MTK Preloader USB VCOM Port" right away, and I read that when you install the vcom driver correctly, it connect and disconnects the device every 3 seconds.
Well.. I didn't manage to get the preloader.bin yet, I'll ask for it, but why the official rom on needrom.com preloader.bin is not working with my phone? And why would smatdigi preloader.bin would work for me?
I tried roms that are for e2001v21_v89_zlh_hd but even their preloader wouldn't work for me.
first of all, stop playing with those preloaders. random flashing will brick your motherboard of your computer too, if you flash a wrong BIOS file. clear? okay. the DRAM error occurs if the Rom is mismatching the "signature" of your device. so, before trying to flash it, take another one, in this case, the right one. ( for example: my device (n9770) got few cameras, few board revisions, ddr or ddr2 Ram and so on, only one Rom or a mix of different files will work)so flashing a wrong firmware causes more "damage" or "errors". have you backed up your firmware before rooting?
you need to find a full backup of your device ( most likely a Rom directly from your vendor) including ALL needed partitions for flashtool. ROM's of new devices are hard to find, even for n9770 (mt6577) there are ROM versions from 06-2012 till now. so, if you got a "newer" device, you need to get the correct firmware and flashtool should flash without problems. also, your drivers are working perfectly, otherwise flashtool won't show the red bar wich is checking the device.you may need to check if the "second" driver is installed correctly, because the device will switch from preloader mode to "flash mode". maybe the driver for the preloader is installed correctly, but it can't switch to flash mode.

I bought it from focalprice, even if they send me any rom, it will be one of the officials found in needrom.com ... So I don't think they'll handle it.

How can I check that the second drivers is installed correctly?
just open your device manager and check, if the device gets recognized correctly. start a flash and check, if there are any devices gets loaded while trying to flash. if so, install the correct driver. there are some issues with that sometimes.
if this won't work, try using MTD tool. flasing through there should work always, but it got some issues with vcom drivers. you need to assign every vcom port to the mtk device. explaining of this is retty hard since english isn't my motherlanguage, so its best to check google or xda for that.
also, can you start your device into recovery, or is it really "dead"? no bootlogo, nothing?
No the device is hard bricked, no recovery at all. Not anything. :/
I can't use MtkDroidTool, it doesn't detect my device.
hmn, i would suggest its a hardware failure. never saw a device "dying" without flashing before.
btw: i meant SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject tool, this is a more advanced variant of sp flash tool. just google for it and put a log in here, so i (we) can check whats the matter.

did u manage to get the preloader from smartdxxx............. ???????
it just takes 5 minutes (the most) to create the preloader from the phone.
take up the battery from the phone, run sp flash tool, connect the phone to computer, 5 sec, the rom_0 is read
put back battery, on the phone, connect the phone to computer, run mtk droik tool, 30 secs later, the preloader is created.

SP Flash tool - Completely Dead Phone (UMI X2)

Hi, I was trying to use Flash tool and Don't know what happend but My Phone is completely DEAD right now even power button is also not working no screen is there (just blank phone).
I am having UMI X2 2GB rom, 32 gb internal memory, 1.5 GHZ (MT6589T) Model.
I tried to use SP Flash tool to recover my phone. Firstly I tried to format the phone, After that I tried to run the correct scatter file for MT6589 (from one of the ROM Posted under UMI-X2).
Drivers for the SP Flash tool is loaded correctly (into my Windows 8 Pc). I was previosly getting error as follow : SP FLASH TOOL ERROR: (8200)
[Platform Error] The load and target are inconsistent!
Now, after searching a lot I found that its something wrong with SP Flash tool version.
So I downloaded SP Flash Tool V3.1304.O.sn119 version. After that I am trying to "Download" the rom (with the correct scatter file for my ROM). but its only showing me RED Bar (with 100%) and after that it does nothing. Its neither showing me any error nor its continuing the process.
I am in serious problem here. Please help me out.
Thanks in advance!

Necro thread...
I have the same issue.
A couple of days ago the phone just started turning off / locking up when off, and having great difficulty tuning on... i.e. pulling out the battery for a minute or a few times.
Now the phone won't turn on at all. They only sign of life is the charging animation when you plug it in.
Prior to all this, there appeared a window in Chinese with some options. my GF (who's phone it is) just pressed something, no idea what. But she said something about 'drawing on the screen'??? sound like something locked up and the previous frame wasn't deleted from the frame buffer before redrawing the new one... I have no idea.
Anyway, I tried going into recovery to see if there was anything I could do there, unfortunately everything was in Chinese, so not much help. for some reason now, the recovery isn't even working.
Now I can connect to the phone via SPflash, but I get the above response: '[Platform Error] The load and target are inconsistent!'
Some other ROMs I tried give me this response:
'The load to be downloaded is for MT6589;
The target platform is MT6582_S00'
Which is quite suspicious.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Vodafone smart 4 mini doesn't start
Hi
I bought brand new vodafone smart 4 mini and first I did was root to unlock phone, next a very stupid idea came to my had to update software, after that my phone worked terreble, so another stupid idea came to my head to flash oryginal ROM, I downloaded rom, SPFlash tool , load scatter file and pressed download, everything looked good, it took about one minute and green circle ok at the end. I was verry happy, for couple seconds only, my brand new phone never started again. there was only short blink when I pressed power button , and then nothing. I've been trying to flash the phone many times after that with couple different ROM's but no succes. sometime phone doesn't even blink after flashing. Sometimes at the begining of flashing there is mesage "no partition table" or memory error. Please somebody help me, I'm loosing hope.
I think the only good news is that the "Media Tek PreLoader USB VCOM" still works, and looks like phone cooperates with the tool, maybe I should use different tool, or test phone first with some tool, or create partitin table ?

Hello mh1368,
Sorry to hear about your issue.The S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL Occurs when you have used an unsupported scatter loading file...at this point when you click download in sp flash tool, the bootloader is cleared but due to the wrong scatterer loading file the new firmware does not get flashed leaving behind a bricked smartphone:crying:.But no need to worry its just a soft brick:laugh:.We can get your phone back to life through certain steps.Can you tell me your about your build no??
Just flash this
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_KxHkaDeA14QWM0QkNUZzRuMHM/edit?usp=sharing
and it will work
I also have this kind of problem in my lenovo a369i but case is that after i flash row_s108 thru SPFT , I cannot turn on my phone anymore and i tried to flash again but SPFT doesn't recognize my phone anymore.. Is there any way to fix this problem??
Any information is a big help.. Thanks In Advance
