Glad to see someone else said it and not me. I flashed TWRP 2.5 with SPTOOLS and Flashed SuperSU 1.32 in TWRP and I was on rooted A116 in less than 3 minutes. Isnt that too fast and simple? Yes works on Win8 64bit too.

yes man...old drivers works...using win 8 x64....
once u need to boot into Disable Driver Signing Enforcement for installing unsigned drivers.
This method aint working in my system.Can anyone provide the old drivers? The preloader comes up for a split second in the com section in device manager and disappears. Any help?
@deepayanneogi
It happens if you try to install it without starting SP Flash Tool first.
What I mean to say is the flash mode persists under Windows only if SP Flash Tool is open. So open SP Flash Tool, connect the mobile, install the driver & then flash it.
Connect your phone without battery and then keep pressing volume down button then you will here sound on your system.... Then reconnect device and you will find it in device manager then install drivers

It worked great and now can root or flash roms by using windows 8 x64 but for installing driver i have to reboot my pc into driver enforcement mode...........

Hey,
I have been years just reading these forums but never made any posts, so thats why I cannot post to development section anyways. I happened to totally brick my phone by flashing wrong preloader into it. However this morning i succesfully reflashed it and now I have somehow working phone (just need to find new rom now) but anyways. This thread is to help other people who has semi bricked their phones as well.
Current situation.
-Phone doesn't charge,
-Phone doesn't turn on (nothing happens)
-Computer sees phone for few secs, so you have "META mode" access. If your computer doesn't see your phone at all make modified USB connect the 4pin to ground. This is what I did actually. If that doesn't work you can google for test points.
My device:
MTK6575 (Fake mt6589)
512MT RAM (fake 2GB)
800x460 resolution (fake 1920x1080)
4GB internal memory (fake 8gb)
5" screen
2200mah battery (fake 3000mah)
OK this is the prodecure that got my phone back to live!
Install windows XP (Yes, windows 8 didn't work for me. most likely drivers are not ready for it. I will not write steps how to install windows xp)
Install USB deview
-Google it, download it, extract package and run it
-Remove all drivers related to Mediatek, android, usb vcom etc.
Download and install VCOM USB Drivers
-Download these drivers http://www.mediafire.com/download/31nddwqdot5ajp2/MT6575+USB+VCOM+drivers.zip
-Put your phone battery in (50% charge) required. wait 10s. Take battery off and connect your phone to PC as meta mode ( modified USB cable, VOL+/- while connecting, you can read more about this from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943442
-When your phone is connected it will disconnect after ~3-5seconds. Now you have to wait in device manager connect the phone right click the device when it shows up. Install driver from the location where you unpacked your VCOM USB drivers/2K_XP_COM/ dont automaticly install them but manually. After windows have found drivers UNTICK show compatible devices. And MANUALLY select preloader driver. Now it will install it the next time the device connects. OK now we have Preloader driver in place. Notice that we will install one more driver later needed in flashing procedure. Disconnect phone.
Now download compatible rom. for me My backup was not working, but this rom worked out perfectly:
http://search.4shared.com/postDownload/wILsUT7J/MTK6575_S4_FLASH_TOOLS_YEDEK.html
Download SP Flash Tool v3.1222.00, extract it.
Ok lets recap what we have now:
-preloader drivers
-phone disconnected
-SP Flash Tool v3.1222.00
-back up we can use to flash
Open flash tool, enter scatter file and go to Format
-Select Format whole flash except bootloader and nvram bin region. -> connect phone -> succeed
-Select Format NVRAM bin region ONLY -> connect phone -> succeed
-Select Format whole flash -> connect phone -> succeed
Ok. Next we need to flash compatible rom this part is tricky. Read before doing anything.
-Disconnect your phone, enter battery (50% charge required)
-wait atlaest 15seconds, and remove battery
-(I dont know why those steps were required, but didn't work without it)
-Open SP Flash tool select scatter file and select all checkboxes
-press download
-connect your phone in META mode with Preloader drivers we installed before.
-Now red prograss bar will start going and phone will disconnect After it reconnect We want ANOTHER drivers are located in the same place but now we need to select Mediatek DA Vcom USB drivers. If everything went fine you get yellow progress bar and it will reflash your phone! :victory:
In the last part if you got Error 5054, This is good. It means your phone is still alive! but your current preloader does not match the data you are going to flash. So you need to go back to google and download other rom try flashing everything (thats what I did, before hitting jack pot, eventually you will find compatible rom)
If you got ERROR 3002 switch back to SP Flash Tool v3.1222.00 newer one doesn't work!
I got some other errors as well when flashing and I solved them but didn't write down the errors so I cant remember them sorry
Remember before connect phone as META mode. Plug in battery with atlaest 50% power wait 15s. remove it. and connect the phone to PC. This was the mysterious step I was missing when struggling with this 5 days!
By the time of writing this article I got my phone working rom, everything works.
GOOD LUCK
ps. Sorry for typos.
:angel: kthxbai
thanks!
AND THANKS FOR yuweng and rui1 who made this all possible!
anyway now I'm back to porting CM to our device. hopefully this helped somebody (and yes, I will be more careful this time)
Hi, it worked for me and i could unbrick my mtk6575

Hello!
You can try the following:
1. search and download sp flashtool. Actually you can get this from official SP Flashtool official site.
Assuming you are running Windows, also download MediaTek USB VCOM drivers and Driver Auto Installer v1.1236.00 from the same site.
2. have an S580 rom ready.
The Process:
1. Install the windows drivers you downloaded
2. Open the folder you extracted SP Flashtool and run it as administrator.
3. Inside the folder of your unzipped rom file, look for a file similar to XXXXXXXXXX_scatter_file.txt
4. Load this in the SP Flashtool (click downlad tab, then scatter loading, load this file in there. It should load your rom you will see some colours, etc...
The tricky part:
Assuming you have correctly installed the drivers:
1. turn off the device (well if bricked it is turned off all ready) just make sure, and if possible remove the battery.
2. Click the green download button on SP Flashtool.
3. Hold down the Vol down key on your s580 and connect it to a usb port.
4. If you see a red line and continue to yellow, all is probably good! Don't let go of the vol - button until yellow line reaches 100%
If it fails, try again by removing the mediatek drivers, and by installing the latest lenovo USB drivers you can find.

You have nothing to lose by trying! I cannot think of any further damage you can do to the device. If you want to be cautious, trying installing only the lenovo drivers and following the steps.
If your phone is not recognized and the process does not either not complete or initiate at all, then also install the mediatek drivers. The mediatek drivers are to facilitate communication between device and computer, they are not going into your device. What your device will get is whatever is in the scatter file in the rom you should have downloaded.
Googling about your problem, turned up using SP Flash anyway, you can google it too.
Hope I am helping, let me know how it goes! I recently revived my Lenovo Tab 3 8 Wifi following the steps I described!
qualcomm specific info
Hello Adrenoaak322.
You never posted back whether you were successful or not in reviving the phone. Anyway, I found some qualcomm specific information. I will pm you the links, if you want to take a look. Hope it helps.

Definitely worth trying. Perhaps even better from SP Flashtool, since QFIL is qualcomm specific.
You will need to do a little research on how it works, if it needs some kind of file similar to scatter file for SP, etc, etc. I sent some links to your PM that maybe useful in the process.
Maybe other users, around here, with more experience can help out?!? Anyone???
boot to "recovery mode" by pressing the volume up and power button after the lenovo and android logo appears release both buttons and immediately touch the Home button. Do clear wipe data after that select reboot now. in which case it will take a while but do not worry just wait until your lenovo returns to normal.
