It's easy to fix Just follow my steps. :fingers-crossed:
1.Prepare the rom which was running ok before,for example, for me it was @satanduck 's prerooted TWRP S124 rom.
2.Open the SP flash tool.
3.Load the scatter file from the rom which worked ok for you.
4.Tick the box that says 'DA DL All With Check Sum'
5.Hit Firmware Upgrade
Now is the hardest step
1.Open the cover of your phone.
2.Look for the red reset button which was close to SD card and press it a few times.
3.Connect USB cable to your phone and firmware upgrade should start and wait for the green circle! :good::laugh:
Best luck :good:

Yes, I installed mtk usb drivers. but I´m not sure if it´s ok o no. Because I have to connect the battery and push volume+up button to make it connected. and it´ll disappear immediately in device management window.

Hi,
Please verify that you have a correct production date. I got a P780 after 0314. please try the solution on this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52665841&postcount=16
If this resolves your problem, that keep that preloader. With that you can almost flash every rom that there is with the flashtool.
(i'm very satisfied with the latest rom on needrom Vibeui2.0 (the rom page also offers the new preloader )
Greetz,
btw to try to flash with the new preloader set up the flashtool, push the red button on the back of your phone, connect the phone an release the button. If all the drivers are correct your phone will be flashed. ( this new batch phones gave me a heart attack also , mine wasn't even 12 hours active before i softbricked it )

When I push the red button, phone can not be recognized by computer. Only I press the volume-up button, it can be recognized by computer.
I start the flash, then push volume-up button to make it connected, but then got BROM error. I attach the screen picture.

You must have this FlashTool - SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1304.0.119. Not Optional.
Check if your phone is produced in 2014. If it is you must use another preloader.

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!

memory card.

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?

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.

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

I have the exact same issue. Flashing stock S124 after (rooted) S223 with SpTools messes something up.
I managed to do a TWRP restore to go back to S221 but I can't use SpTools anymore.
I get the same SpTools error message. Only after pressing the red reset button my phone will then come back to life.

Your preloader seems to be messet up. I have one problem the same like yours yesterday. It took like 4 hours to solve the problem. The problem was like this:
The computer was not recognizing the phone when the phone was powered off. Sooo.. what i did: i opened device manager in the computer, then i attached the phone. Something new has appeared in the device manager for a seccond. I clicked fast on it. A small window hass appeared. From this step i was safe. I just updated the driver and that wass it. I could flash the ROM i wanted.
Hope this helps you.

I tried to install the USB driver (again) for the new device that the computer now sees. It is listed in the device manager as "Unknown Device" under USB controllers. I can't seem to force it to accept new USB drivers for it (Lenovo drivers). It keeps saying that the driver is not compatible with the device. I use Win 7 64bit, could that have something to do with it? Also is it possible to flash a new preloader using TWRP? If I press the reset button on my phone it reboots fine (rooted S221) and I have TWRP installed.

Here are the drivers i use! Hope this will help you!
Soo.. i never tried to flash preloader from TWRP. Thats an ideea, but you have to do a full backup of your phone... i think...
When i have preloader problems i flash again the whole ROM. I think is safer, better... and wize.

Thanks for the drivers, I am still struggling to make this "Unknown Device" accept other drivers. What was your unrecognised phone called in Device Manager? Was it also "Unknown Device" in the USB section?

Hi. The think was someting like this:
First i installed the .exe file. Reboot PC.
2. I have plugged the phone to the PC and new hardware wizard has appeared.
3. Now i have powered of the phone.
4. Again i have plugged the phone this time powered off.
5. At this time in Device Manager appeared for a second or two not in USB area something with.. MTK65...
6. Click very fast on it because that will desapear very 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.

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..

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.

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.
