[Q] QPST & MiFlash Issue on Lenovo K910 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok.
If you're having problems regarding how quick COM/USB port changes, please read my solution on post 4
Story.
I bought this phone last week and he came with android 4.2.2
After 2 hours i was able to get the 4.4.2 rooted but then...
...i just installed s.th that i can´t remember that cracks my boot.img
The this is that 4.2.2 version had the bootloader cracked but the 4.4.2 hasn't. That means i can't push anything to solve my .img issue.
After a few searches i reach to htcmania witch they have 2 possible solutions for my problem. Here's the 1st and here's the 2nd.
Now.
After i spend to much time trying to install the drivers correctly (initially without success) my phone just died. I lost Lenovo logo and ended up with just a red light blinking. Witch i though...F&%K!!!
If there's anyone who ended up like me, here's the solution for a pseudo-dead-phone:
remove your battery disconecting the cable inside the phone
plug the phone into a PC through a usb cable
insert your battery back
voilá. phone back alive
Now that i was able to get lenovo logo back again...
... i need your help (Lenovo K910 fans or someone with a great idea )to understand something that's has been cracking my head.
How the hell should i put this in download mode?!
I mean. Each time i plug the usb cable into PC with the volume up pressed, the device manager was able to reach Lenovo_blabla_2008 (witch seams to be the correct port so that my phone communicate with PC) but after a brief moment it changes to lenovo_composite_adb_interface (and this one doesn't work).
Now the question itself:
When should i press and where to stop that happening?! Because when i start the phone with those keys combination the phone restarts twice and not just one.
Here is a picture with my phone in download mode.
I quickly press the download button but then the just just restarts and i loose the download mode

after more than 24h pretty helpfull :good:

Hey, same probleme no download mode...only for few seconds... No chance to force them

Solution and new problem
Well...
...after all these days without any success, today i must awake with a lamp over my head
Question: If our/mine problem regarding COM/USB port is the quickness that it changes to USB how can we slow it down?!
Answer: Plug an USB extension (big) between phone and PC and...voilá
Simple, isn't it?
Now i got another problem
Probably i made some mistake between step 7th & 8th on QPST tip for our K910 on HTCMania (you may use google translator to translate from spanish into your language, but english work better) and i ended with a complete black screen that doesn't respond to power button, no red light even if i unplug battery cable inside K910.
Any sugestion?!
Thanks

Here is a pic.
As you can see, device manager sees my port as QDLoader 9008 and it stays there.
QPST Configurator sees my port COM11 but doesn't recognize phone
and eMMC Software doens't connect on DW mode and it gives me that error

check this maybe usefull

But apart google translator work as bad as possible i believe from wht i've read (bad) this is how use QPST, not my last problem described.
Anyway, thanks again

@Crowds,
have you a blue LED then you press VolUP and plug in the USB cable?
I had no LED, nothing, no Red, no blue.
Here i get 2 PM's from Editl, he has tried me to help, without sucess.
Here i share:
Hi,
I do not want to intruding, but I saw that you have similar problem as I had. I still cannot post on Lenovo thread as I do not have 10 posts on xda.
Your message:
“Hello, now my phone Stuck on Lenovo logo and locked bootloader, too.
had 1431_-dev on it witch unlocked bootloader and recovery from 4pda (VIBEUI_V2.0_1431_6_DEV_K910_NK_W_66FC_RR) on it
Today i flash Recovery TWRP 2.7.1.2 on it, with success... all fine.
Boot in recovery and wipe all data to install 1433_4_ST_k910_246M" from the bbs forum on it.Vol + and -
after flash i clear Cache data again.. twrp reboot and now i stuck on lenovo logo and cant acces anything,fastboot says locked.
what can i do now?
Boot with Vol+- dont work and twrp boot wont work”
Possible resolution:
I had the same problem as you are just with different rom. I have flashed RUS_VIBEUI_V2.0_1433_4_ST_K910_WC97_RR with TWRP 2.7.1.2 using standard SDfuse method. After that I wanted to flash another rom. I have entered TWRP with boot to recovery option and wipe the system, dalvik and system cache.
Tried to flash new rom over sideload option build in the TWRP but phone returned bad checksums. Immediately after, I have rebooted phone and stuck onto Lenovo screen.
Boot with Vol- and power did work and twrp boot did not work either, tried so many times. I finally find on some forum that TWRP 2.7.1.2 have a bug and that if you want to enter TWRP 2.7.1.2 you need to hook your usb cable into the phone and then hold Vol +, Vol – and power together and then to plug usb cable to computer usb port then TWRP recovery will show up.
I have succeeded after few tries on one laptop with Win8.1 pro 64bit. One odd thing is that on that Laptop I had a Lenovo drivers installed but those drivers did not recognise phone that had just TWRP 2.7.1.2 recovery even if I had use that laptop for so many time to flash the phone over adb using SDfuse method.
On the end I used another laptop with Win7 HP 64bit with installed generic adb drivers to recognise phone with just TWRP 2.7.1.2 and pushed rom thru sideload and finally I revive my phone back to original state.
I am hoping that you can revive yours as well.
If you find this solution fix your problem, please post the link on xda.
Cheers.

I have find similar procedure on one forum. Give a try, you do not have anything to lose.
"LED bootloop is it with blank screen and blue light LED? can't boot OS and can't go into recovery.
last time i once stuck in these condition. after some trial and error manage to go into fastboot by shut down the phone (hold power button for more than 10 seconds) and then hold vol + & - then connect cable to computer (or is it vol - only)
somehow i've experienced this kind of brick few month ago. my solution was:
1. turn off the phone using the PWR + VOL UP method.
2. press both Vol UP/DOWN while the phone still turned off and plug in the usb into the computer
3. you will feel the vibration.
4. while in computer it should detect and the phone will be in fastboot mode.
5. run adb command to either load the cwm or etc
i forgot what step i choosed that time but somehow i managed to flash back the system and revive the phone."
By the way, do you have or know where to download international rom VIBEROM_V1.0_1407_2_ST_K910 ?
Thanks. Cheers.

Hi @gekkorist
First of all thank you for your feedback :good: bad that one didn't came sooner :laugh:
I don't know if you're suffering exactly as i.
Like you, i don't have red, blue, yellow, orange, gfreen :laugh: plus...NO LOGO since my last step as explained on 4th post.
If you're stuck like i was (no leds but with lenovo logo) follow this BUT plug your phone with an USB extension like i've mentioned in 4th post. I´m pretty sure with this trick this will work on any PC despite OS used.
Regarding the solutions presented by @EdiTL both cases won't work cause this time i can't even turn on (?) my phone. This is very strange since if i plug in the usb cable pc recognizes that something is plugged but can't detect on QPST despite device manager recognizes COM port as QDLoader 9008

now i try with a 5 meter cable, same issue with short detect in 9008 and go after 2 seconds back to adb. no chance with qpst.

I'm convinced that WIN8 had nothing to do with it.
Everyone that i've talked to when i had my problema told me to put Win98 32 bits and i've managed with Win8 64 bits so...
Check my signature and follow everything without execption.
Like i wrote there it tool me 1 entire month!!!
...and unfortunately there's no other way, except...back to Lenovo and pay

So what I read your sadly history., your phone dosent regodnize it ether with battery? Did you get it succesful with or without battery? Cause I read HTCmania it is possible have succes without battery, is it true? In my case it has to be driver issue or driver signatures.... I downloaded win 8 x32 and will try it tomorrow without battery. Cause I quess my battery is empty. I regodnize that when I plug the microusb to the phone a little bit, the red light shows and I quess it will charge it a bit (~5min) and after that I plug the phone to the pc it shows qualcomm QDLodaer port not usb device. But It will discharge pretty fast and then pc regodnizes it as USBdevice. So what is my question is, Is it possible make that process without battery? Thank you, I really aprechiate your help.
P.s. Sorry my bad language, and one thing is sure. I wont send phone back in china. I´ll fight on my last day with this thing

Be sure that you install the correct drivers for COM port accordly to your OS.
And yes. I played so many times with my phone trying to get back alive that I ended with an empty battery (post #6 on my thread). By that time I had to remove the battery till all process is completed and restart the phone.
Like I said it took me 1 month until I was able to do with and like you one thing was sure...I won't send it back either
Good luck...you gonna need it

Hey. I did exacly what is in your instructions (recover k910) for prepare things . Can you explane why my device show as a port but in conf QPST it just hangs on half a way? Here is screen what I mean. And yes, I installed win 8. x64 but still that anoying broblem. This is why I ask this about you beacause your battery was also drained like mine. ( I plugged the phone to the pc battery unplugged.)
Tell me what was your magical touch secret.

That's one the of anoying problems you'll find like i.
U had to be quick enough in order that QPST won't losse COM connection.
Most probably your QPST in that "midle way" disconnects as COM wright?
Well...keep tryng...i did it for one month

I did this. 1. (Disable signining) Installed QPST, reboot/(Disable signining). 2. Plugged phone to pc, got port/QHSUSB Bulk-> updated drivers win7x64 folder, reboot/(Disable signining). 3.Installed Lenovo drivers, (Disable signining). 5. Unpacked rom C:\bin/..6. Change the flash_local. 7. Open that Device manager and QPST config. AND THIS IS THE PART WHEN I SEE MY PHONE AS HALF A WAY PORT. It won´t dissapear there. It just connects and hangs on the half way, if i do the rest of instructions i got just emmc QPST hanging "download" and will search the device... aaaaand the result is "device not found"...
Actually, when I connect the phone to the computer it will only appear as in the picture and stays there. I do not have a big old USB cable. Do I need it for that purpose?

TG01 Boot Problem - This time I really messed up

I've flashed my TG01 with a regular ROM, everything went normal except it comes to booting part. So my problem is, device is not booting, not charging, and not recognizing by any PC's I've tried. I guess I really messed up this time.
What can I do? In my country TG01 is not officially announced, so the Services I've tried could'nt fix the problem. I'm at my own I think. But with your help I can make this device to return life.
Thanks in advance, I'm really desperate right now...

Don't worry, I've seen the worse and facing worse than yours.
A little read through the forum would have definitely solved your issue. However, I do understand that under such circumstances, you want to get to the solution quick. Here it is:
When you say not charging - can you see RED LED light flash or even appear when you plug to PC -(I think not)?
If your answer is NO, then follow on and try this
There you go, my last bit of help before I loose my TG01 forever!

Explain something. You normally flashed it via tg01_sddl+.exe , bootloader appeared, after few minutes it showed "...succesfully and will be restarted....." and after reset nothing happened ? You still have black screen ? It is strange that charger does not work. Maybe tg01 is still in booting phase but wrong flashing cause it is not able to display even Toshiba logo ? Did You try to remove battery, put it again and plug charging cable to see whether charging is working ? ( Do not press ON button when You put battery back )

The reason, I understood few months back from one of the mates who works in a repair centre (not toshiba):
This is semi-bricked TG01, hence it will show a faint white light when you tilt the phone, but won't show Toshiba logo AND won't charge.
The TG01 looses 'bootloader' and hence forgets to even boot - this occurs in 'fully' bricked TG01. TG01 not charging is a bad sign, especially when you don't even see 'toshiba' screen.
If you see that screen but don't see RED LED (i.e. not charging/ not being recognized) - you can still get it back using 'short pin' or 'unbrick method'

Thank you both for the fast and useful replies.
drupad2drupad,
No, I don't see any light even.
fxdjacentyfxd,
I always use the Short PIN method to flash my device. It's past over one month, maybe I remember it wrong.
BTW, the methods you linked needs to TG01 recognizes by PC, right? But I've tried with two PC's, one uses Win7 and the other one uses XP. Both does not recognize the device.

In normal working tg01 I would afraid to utilize permamently 3-pin method. In my oppinion one should utilize it only with problems with tg01 because this pins are connected somewhere to the hardware. It is very easy to cause electrostatic shock and simply damage whole device. For good cooked roms tg01_sddl+.exe is the best solution because it is none intrusive method. Anyway, Huston we have problem.

You are right, but I tried it almost hundred times, but couldn't managed to flash via tg01_sddl+.exe. So there is only one option to flash my device.

What happened in the past You are not able to utilze tg01_sddl+.exe ? It sounds rather strange for me that in good working tg01 such methods may not work .
Reagrds

It always says "Error occurred during system reset".
I've never managed to run it properly...
What are you suggesting in this situation? Can it be resurrected?

El Diablo - it might be a bad news. If there is no red light on top and the short pin doesn't work - it might be bricked (sorry! )
However - do you see a faint white back light on the screen - tilt your phone side ways and you should see white brightness on screen - if it does this - I think (from what I remember) - you can revive this but it might be the case that your battery is draining now - PLEASE TRY TO CHARGE YOUR BATTERY SOMEHOW BECAUSE IF BATTERY DRAINS OUT WHILE TRYING TO FLASH, YOU WILL DEFINITELY BRICK THE PHONE (IF IT IS NOT YET!)
If you don't see this back light and you no red light - it IS bricked. Only option finding the bootloader file - which is DAMN hard to find. When I bricked my first TG01, I never managed to find this file
OR
You might be able to get this working by sending it to a toshiba repair center. I do understand there is none where you live, but sending it by courier might be another option.
I hope you can revive the phone - I feel the pain

yes is 100% bricked! BUT this is 100 % the solution (with tg01.bin file (unzip) bootloaderfile)
2. LCD Display stay black (or verry dim black light) and when plug it in to charge No red LED flash, not possible to RESET OR Hard RESET
= unbrick method= TG Downloader over PC connection with user manual in german (pls translate with google translator for other language) contains: TG01 Downloader TG01 Driver TGTool
and here the needed bin file: tg01.bin file (unzip)

No, the phone's is acting like a stone actually. Thanks for your time and good wishes.
mirolg,
But PC's do not recognize the TG01. I've read the instruction manual, TG01 need to be plugged in a USB port, right? That means the PC MUST recognize the TG01 as I understood.
But, are you saying I can still revive my device?

Does PC "says" something after tg01 usb plugin ? ( any sound , message ).
Frankly speaking I was not able to utilze this method too because my XP detects tg01 in wrong way. I have few sounds and after several seconds device disappears completely from XP. It was even when my tg01 was not "bricked" - from time I bought it. After my first ( and so far last ) "brick" nothing changed - fortunately 3-pin method works . But I have any PC answer . You have not any ?

No, there is no notification sound, message, nothing pop ups.

I did every step you've said, but neither the TGDownloader recognizes the device, so I can't start the update.

you have also to switch on the tg01.

Of course I tried to switch on TG01. But nothing happened.
But I must say that it's like something of device's hardware "shaking". I can feel the squezing in it. Any ideas?

Maybe the battery has not good contact? When you remove the back cover, can you move the batt with your fingers?

i had the same issue like you when i tried to mod Bruno Martins's Extended User Data to my A789...
Then i think to myself how did lenovo flash in ROM at the first place & with that google leads me to this post about Power On sequences, thank you so much Master Shifu.... :good:
However, i can't exactly recall which or the correct sequence as i was trying all combinations with Flash Tool set at download mode all the time & voila, suddenly Flash Tool starts to download & i got my A789 back...

Ohh realy you gave me new hope because its completely dead like no power on no charging tried all posible combinations
but now i have to try all seq in download mode but the issue is A660 factory not out yet i search so many chineas forms.
But atleast if it detects then there is some hope. I alredy packed to send back to china but i will try and tell you please pray for me and if you remember key sequence please write here thanks for giving me hope

if not mistaken, its the Vol-Dn + Power goes into META mode... :fingers-crossed:
my best guess is the preloader as cybermaus has mention, for my case i use A789 preloader at first for my modding & internal memory just increase 100MB then i download the V970's preloader_mt6577_phone.bin which i though was generic then ends up problem just like you... It actually doesn't detect the phone but with the right combinations of Power on sequences it accepts Flash Tool download...
But first did you do a full ROM backup ?
Your case is a completely different than mine so i guess we'll have to wait for Master Shifu cybermaus to further advice you since you don't have a full factory ROM... :fingers-crossed:
Good Luck... :fingers-crossed:

@yuweng; @adeelahmed11
Yes, META mode is to flash without preloader. With it you can format the entire eMMC chip, just like we used to do on our MT6516 first generation of Mediatek Android chips. And indeed, it is how the factory puts on the preloader in the first place.
However, I was under the assumtion the following 3 issues would make this hard to use for adeelahmed11:
- The meta mode does not use USB, but bootstrap using serial, and requires a special cable in the 3.5mm audio port.
- On the A660 phone PowerDown+Volume down goes into FACTORY mode, so META mode must be a different one, but he has no more buttons to try.
- He would still need a factory original flash package to flash onto the A660
Now, if what yuweng said is true, and he really broke his preloader, and fixed it without special cable, then I would have to assume somehow Mediatek worked around the serial cable requirement. Maybe they integrate the PL2303 USB to Serial hardware in the chipset. That would be sweet. Or maybe they can drive the USB without preloader software in some rudimentary mode.
Tell us yeweng: Did you ever put a PL2303 device driver on your PC? Also, did you put the flash program in serial mode instead of USB mode (it's an option in the flash program menu.
As to adeelahmed11, if you want to try this, it may be better to first wait for a real A660 ROM. If somehow you get the phone into META mode, and the flash utility starts to flash, you want it to flash the right stuff. If you overwrite it with more wrong stuff using this deeper level, well, it will not improve matters

Wow, now that you mention so many stuff here in fact (1) i did have PL2303 USB driver that i use at work for serial downloading software but that usb to serial converter was not plug in to the pc. It didn't show up as active device at device manager...OS Win7 x86, i've attach the report generated by USBDeview...
(2) i use android-sdk usb_driver as the mediatek preloader driver doesn't work on my pc...(3) can't recall which version of Flash Tool i use for downloading, either version 3.1224.01 or 3.1222.00
(4) i did tried disable/ enable USB Mode at Flash Tool but can clearly recall it was in USB Mode when it starts to downloading...
(5) i was using only five files PRELOADER, DSP_PL, MBR, EBR1 & RECOVERY during my modding & first, i use all files from A789 with modded scatter.txt. As said, the mod wouldn't work & i started to use each file one by one from V970 & my last try was the preloader that got it 'brick'...
(6) For my case it was full ROM download but i presume download with the correct preloader would have 'unbrick' it...
Mostly said Mediatek is 'unbrickable' so lets hope we'll be able to 'unbrick' adeelahmed11 A660... :fingers-crossed:

You kept a USB sniffer active while you were messing with your phone? Or is this a USB sniffer-log of a different time?
If the first, then I take of my hat to you for foresight! If the latter, then I am not sure if I want to spent time analyzing it. So please do tell me which. Edit, its not a stiffer-log, just a list of installed devices. How do you know it was not active during your rescue?
Reading your story, it is less encouraging: You tried Druno's repartitioning, so that scatter file would have messed with the MBR and maybe EBR partitions. And while you did reprogram the preloader, you did so from the original phone? I can imagine that if you break your MBR, the phone would appear to be very bricked, but not as deeply as when the preloader itself is broken. I am thinking your preloader, and therefore your USB client-side software, was always OK.
A further hint would be: Did you have to reprogram your IMEI number and/or WiFi/Bluetooth MAC addresses? If not that is a further hint your phone was not truly bricked.
As a reference: The way I see the preloader is as the BIOS of the phone. It initializes some core hardware, so the actual boot, the uboot, can kick off. But first, it initializes the USB port, and has some bytes of software so that the USB port can be used to communicate and reflash. It waits a second in this state, before really kicking off the uboot The way I see META mode is as a sort of JTAG interface, so that with no software at all on the phone, through a simple serial port, you can very slowly program the flash chip from scratch.
Of course. that is what I suspect, and we have learned to distrust my suspicions.

Thank you Master Shifu for sharing your insight... :good: USBDeview is what i use for trouble-shooting for my usb to serial converter & the log was taken after the 'unbricking' process...Whoops, i can't confirm what was active during the rescue but i can confirm nothing shows up at device manager before the download starts & i didn't check what is there at device manager during the download...
i actually did the modding with caution but never thought wrong preloader would 'brick' the phone.... I've compare both files from A789 & V970 & to my surprise it is the same bit for bit except for PRELOADER & EBR1...even the scatter file is the same except for __NODL_FAT 0x629e8000 ! Bruno's Extended Data mod doesn't download everything... Fyi, i actually use scatter from Lewa ROM & earlier i have ported bruno's V970 to A789 with no patching at all, everything works except WiFi, GPS & a few others... Even after patching firmware folder with few related *.so, the problem remain the same... Well, i guess V970 is for V970 after all but it is very similar to A789 system files... :laugh:
So i guess for adeelahmed11 case, he has to get the correct preloader file to 'unbrick' it...

It might be useful for fellow xda member that 'brick' their MT6575/ 77 preloader other than Lenovo... :good:
Other useful tuts from russia here & here... :good:

Yes, that Russian site you found is the *normal* thinking that I also have/had. You need a USB-to-serial cable, and you need to connect the cable to a serial port. For a lucky few, the serial connection is hidden in the 3.5mm port, but that may not be on every brand and model. You notice how that guy is happy he found a point on the board that is the serial connection? You can bet he tried the 3.5mm first. Next he went to look on the circuitboard itself. It what I would have tried, if I had a brick in my hands. But unless if you have the tools and skills, it is not for the normal user.
You however claimed you did it *without* serial cable, *without* serial port, *without* 3.5mm connector. That is what surprised me. Either you did not really brick your preloader. Or Mediatek build in the USB2Serial module into the later chips, in which case that Russian link you found is nice, but on the too difficult and thus unneeded track that I would have gone also.
If true, the trick must be in the fact you had the PL2303 driver installed. When cold-staring your Android, the phone briefly linked up its PL2303 mode with the driver. And you had your flash tool set to serial. So it simply worked. If I recall correctly, a button combination may not even be needed, if you have the PL2303 driver active the flash tool will simply send a command over it to go into the programming mode automatically. Or at least, it did so for the MT6516 chip, as described here.
But for now, lets simply wait until a A660 ROM turns up. Or someone else with a brick in his hands and a matching flashable ROM to go with it.

Thank you so much for creating the thread and your help, i tried all possible key combinations, but there is no last breath i think i should not waste time and try to claim the warranty because its almost a week old, so better chance to get back, i can try the usb to serial but i need the cable and its not available in my city and if i order from web it takes time, also still A660 Rom not available, etotalk.com claiming that they have rooted rom but they are not selling it , they are selling with phone only.
if i get back a new phone i will try the flash again but without selecting the lo level files like MBR and preloader
anyway thanks guys

My dear Master Shifu cybermaus,
Just as you suspected, indeed, it become serial port...
i don't have to press the power button, with the battery out, i just hold the volume up on my A789 while plugging in the USB cable will activate META mode... :laugh:

I'll watch the video later.
Also, I see that a ROM has surfaced: A660_S019_120824
I will download it if I have a change, and try to create a recovery / ROW ROM for it

What video boss and did you found the a660 rom so then i can try vol + and plug the cable

Ah, so you still have it then? Warranty not accepted? Bad for you, but strictly speaking correct, the shop did not send you a faulty product.
The ROM is this one with password bbs.lenovomobile.com
Do try to see if you can get it to work, by setting the flash tool to serial (not-USB), but to be honest, I still have my doubts about yuweng's case. I still wonder if his preloader was truly bricked. The video above shows the serial as it is provided from the preloader.
I did a full USB sniff/trace on the bootup process. In it, I did see above COM port, but not one before that.
But if he is correct, then the procedure will most likely be to remove the battery, connect the cable, start the download in the flash program and insert the battery.
You can also then try any button pressing, like power+volume-up to go into META mode. But this is I suspect controlled by the preloader, so that must be working. We need something before that phase.

Need CMW Recovery for Tooky(T1982) MT6575
Hi,
I tried this Rom with pressing vol+ while connecting to PC but nothing happened any way i sent back to china.
now i need help in my other china phone which is Tooky T1982. it is MT6575 so i tried Lenovo A750 Recovery but its not working, can you compile for me ? or guide me how do i it my self ?
here is i uploaded for your reference Tooky T1982 Rooted Rom
My 2nd question there is another model of Tooky T1981 and it has ICS 4.0 Rom can i port it to my Tooky T1982
here is i uploaded for your reference Tooky T1981 Rom
Waiting for your positive reply
Regards,

i refuse to believe Lenovo has taken out META mode feature on newer device...
Have you tried all other combinations...
At Device Manager -> Ports, there should be MediaTek USB VCOM(Android) ComXX or at least an unknown device should pop-up with the usual device connect sound if you have ur speaker switch on...
Refer to my video, however, for your case, the PRELOADER shouldn't have shown up since i capture it when i have already 'unbrick' it & i don't dare try to 'brick' it again to have the video capture again... :laugh:

I tried all possible key combinations but no device detected but i have also ZTE V970(not bricked ) so i power off the device and while press the VOL+ button plug the usb cable and PC detect some APEX device under windows 7 but Vcom drivers did not apply on it

Ok ok, one last try if still cannot then no choice you have to sent it back... :fingers-crossed:
From my experience with 2 types of MT6577 as follows :
With battery inserted
Switch on ur speaker so that you will know if there is a new device connected (the sound is exactly just as u plug in ur USB thumbdrive)
1) Hold Volume Up, don't let go, now plugin USB cable ( this doesn't work on ur A660 )
2) Hold Volume Down, don't let go, now plugin USB cable
3) Hold both Volume Up & Power, don't let go, now plugin USB cable
4) Hold both Volume Down & Power, don't let go, now plugin USB cable
or may be u wanna try the unlisted method...
1) Hold both Volume Up & Down, don't let go, now plugin USB cable
2) Hold all button (Volume Up/Down with Power), don't let go, now plugin USB cable
With battery taken out
Same as above methods but with battery taken out
You have to have SP Flash Tool set to Download mode all the time while trying above steps & see if it starts to download if not then only try next method...May be u would also wanna try different USB port too if ur mobo supports USB2.0 or 3.0
I've also experience before with the battery taken out method, it may fail half way...What i did was, when it starts, reinsert back the battery & SP Flash Tool went on all the way ( this method i did was uploading system.img )
If it doesn't detect as Mediatek VCOM then fast fast double click it at Device Manager & force update it to Mediatek driver...

That may be less easy than you think. Firstly, trat 1982 phone seems to not have hardly any hardware buttons. So you would need the Touch version of the recovery. But with a different resolution the Touch version that I have may not work. I will attempt, but I cannot give any guarantees.
For the same reason porting 1981 to 1982 is difficult. Different hardware buttons. Would be interesting to do if I had both phones in my hand, but as a blind build it is too error prone.

[Q] Zhou Xing - How do I get the files to flash with SP Flash tool from stock ROM?

[update 2013/04/10]
And it is back to life! :victory:
I still cannot believe it! I decided to have another go using the Haier W718 USB cable and guess what? The cable supplied with the Zhou Xing i9300 is basically a big piece of s****.
I can confirm that the test point which worked for me are also GND + KCOL0
I have flashed the ROM wich link yuweng supplied. Thanks, again, bro :good:
Most things work except:
1) The ribbon cable running from the volume keys to the upper board is detached and I am not sure of how to fix this. Is it crazy to "superglue" it?
2) The IMEIs are not recognised. I have tried setting them up manually (following a video from Colonel Zap and taking the digits printed underneath the battery slot). No joy, no matter what SIM card slot I try, I get "IMEI invalid". In engineer mode, under bandmode, I have actually noticed that no band is selected. I check those applicable in Spain and click on "Set", but it basically ignores it.
So I am trying to get now a new ROM, hopefully closer to our settings in Spain. I have contacted a fellow member from a Spanish forum. Fingers crossed.
Oh, I almost forgot. Since the volume keys are not working because of the detached ribbon cable, I have ported TWRP recovery for the Zhou Xing. I thought a touch screen recovery would come in particularly handy now! Here it is.
BACKGROUND STORY BELOW:
Hi all!
I softbricked my Zhou Xing i9300 (MT6577) and now it won't boot :silly:. I cannot even get into recovery mode.
The only way I can access the phone is by SP Flash Tool. Thanks to another member of this forum (Dragonevo) I got hold of the stock ROM. However, this file is in a zip format, so the kind I have seen updating from recovery mode. Only the boot.img file is found out of all the files SP Flash tool looks for. Is there a way I can get the rest of the files for SP Flash Tool from this stock ROM zip including the scatter text?
Thanks!

At first I still got it recognised as MTK device, but right now the best I get is an "Unknown device" under USB devices (not under COM ports). This is with the phone completely assembled and battery inserted. When I dismantle the phone to try to trigger test point, no sign of life whatsoever. If I try to update the drivers, I get something like "Windows determined the best drivers are already present". I guess Windows is only detecting the device as some kind of USB memory and that is it.

I already found a ROM thanks to dragonevo's pointer here. The problem is, I guess, this ROM is in a format to be used when you can boot into Recovery mode. I say "I guess" because I have never got to see Recovery mode on this phone. I am not even sure of the key combination (tried Power & Volume + and Power & Volume -). I am using SP Flash Tool and it looks first for a scatter text file, and several other files that are not in that ROM zip, (only the boot.img is there). And from what I gather all these files also are specific to the phone model.
This is why I raised my original question in this post, so that I could use the ROM found in Flash Tool.

[update 2013/02/14]
Sorry about vanishing, guys. I actually bumped into a bigger problem. My PC hard disk crashed. Anyway, I recovered my older (and smaller capacity) hard disk and installed it. As to the OS, I have just installed Ubuntu 12.04 + Windows XP as a virtual machine. I am a novice to Ubuntu, so please forgive me if the ending of this story is still delayed as I have other priorities to take care of right now.
Thanks a bunch again to yuweng for the correction for the test point and finally the files to flash from SP Flash Tools. I have downloaded the files and will have another go when I get the chance.
To be continued...
[update 2013/02/18]
I am afraid I am giving up on the Zhou Xing. No matter what test point I try, I never get any response in Flash Tool (I have also tried different versions including the latest one uploaded by commonwarrior).
With all the handling, the flat small cable that runs from the Volume up and down keys is detached from the contacts on the main board and I cannot see how I could weld these back.
So I am closing this chapter on my end. I hope it has been helpful to other people. At least now we have the files to flash from Flash Tools for this phone model. I wish we had found them before I screwed it completely.
Thanks again for all your help, particularly to yuweng and commonwarrior

Sorry, pigu36, I actually never got into Recovery mode. I flashed mine (and softbricked it) with SP Flash Tool.
Regarding the stock ROM, you will find the link in Dragonevo's post.
Maybe in that same thread, somebody will be able to tell you how to get into Recovery mode. As far as I am concerned, I have tried pressing "Power + Volume up" keys, but it has never worked.
Whatever I find out, I will share it here and in the other thread.
Good luck!

Sorry about the confusion, khankll.
This was before I tried to flash something else because I thought it could not get worse and maybe I could flash some kind of Recovery which would allow me to update from the SD card (where I have a copy of the stock ROM in a zip file).
However... things could get worse and they did. The phone is not detected any more even in SP Flash Tool, not charging... well you know the symptoms. So I found the test point thread and fingers crossed with all the advice you guys are helping with
If I am lucky with the test point method, I will still need the type of files SP Flash Tool looks for. Unless you know a way of getting them (converting repacking, I don't know what the right word would be) from the stock ROM zip file.

Many, many, thanks for this rare rom. So I was able to unbrick my phone without any hardware experiments. I searched several Weeks!
My only problem is, that there is no touchscreen-response.
Any Idea to solve this problem?
Thanks and regards

Hmmm, could i be that you forgot to install back the Touch Screen panel Flex Ribbon Cable...
Attach example is my friend's Touch Diamond2 9300 i help him replace the Touch Screen panel, hopefully it will be useful as a guide...
Another possibility is that may be this ROM is not for your Zhou Xing... :laugh:
Could you comfirm that the testpoint for your Zhou Xing is KCOL0 & DM

Thanks for the fast response, Yuweng
I have installed back the Ribbon Cable, but not correct and without complete contacts. Now the TouchScreen works, but the touches lands not there where they should. Especially noticeable when using the phone keypad #1-3 = #4-6. I think I have to calibrate the touchscreen, but don't know how.
Second problem: the hardware- (volume up / down) - and sensor buttons (menu, home and back) are without function. I hope I did not damaged the flat cable searching the testpoint.
Your question about the testpoint:
See thread ..... / / forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php? p = 36908056
# 240
The first image shows the backsite of the board. Testpoint for me wars KCOLO & GND to start flashtool download => there is no Point DM.
Greetings
Herby

Hmm, according to orx65 photo on previous page, its definitely not KCOL0 & GND ( the two red dots )....
Big problem ! To calibrate Touch Screen, you need to boot into Factory mode....
Shut down the phone then hold Volume Down, don't let go & press power button until you see that it boots into Factory mode then only let go... :fingers-crossed:
Then it will display all the keys that you need to press once then only you can proceed with the Factory mode calibration...
ESC, BACK, MENU, VOLUME UP, VOLUME DOWN, POWER

Thanks once more!
I first have to repair the definitly broken flat cable for the hardware buttons. It already looked a bit cracked out of delivery.
But my fingers and my soldering iron are to big. :laugh: I must look even if there's a trick!?
Testpoint:
The combination on first picture (with phone 9 ContactPoints) ist KCOLO (2nd row/ center) & GND (first row/ center) worked for me.
It's shown in the picture thereunder.
There is no Contact with DM. 3rd Row right Contact is named DP, but I don't know if this ist what you are looking for.

There is one crazy idea on repairing the Flex Ribbon Cable here with a staple... :laugh:
Can't see it clearly on those photos, so what i meant was : does KCOL0 with DP works, if not then i'll remove the photo on previous page...

... for me only KCOLO & GND works ...

Hey! You don't have ti flash it under a virtual machine. It causes problems. 1st of all, you have to download the stok rom, unpack.it on a pc with a windows installed. Install the.phone.drivers. disassembly the.phone and do a little.test point.to recognize the.flash mode. Run the.flash tool.loading the scatter file of.your stok, start the flashing in all the ports using the Automatic flag in battery section, the Preloader flag under the battery section. Also check.the usb option, just enable.the.Usb and not mpre.connetions kind. Start the flashing.in alk the ports, make.a.little test point and you.will see the loading.flashing.bar sorry for the errors in my typing.thw qwerty touch is very hard to use

Just for the record, I never tried flashing under a virtual machine. The Ubuntu + VirtualBox set up took place after many tests under Windows 7 when my hard disk failed. I may have another go on my laptop (running Windows XP) and if I succeed, I will let you know.

This is a capture for the flash tool settings. In option, leave just the usb flag and disable the RID flags. Just copy all the options you see in this picture and start the flashing in all the ports to be sure.

LG P760 totally dead

Hello
is there any chance a kind person can help me with this dead stick?
a few information about this phone:
- as far as i was told, the phone died after an update
- when i plug the phone to the charger nothing appears on screen
- when i power the phone nothing happens
- when i volume up + power the phone nothing happen, same with volume down + power and volume up+down+power
i have installed the lg tools and using the imei downloaded a 600+MB package which should be the restore image of the phone but when the procedure starts to flash the image it gets stuck at 4% trying to connect to phone without any luck
if anyone has some ideas to give i would be very happy to try them!

the phone is dead. does it get hot when you connect it to the charger for some minutes? if yes, then it has shorted inside and you have to replace/repair it. same thing happened to my p765 and i had to get it replaced from lg.

Did you try to remove battery for a longer time and put it back? You can also try to remove SIM and SD card before inserting the battery.

thanks both of you for the replys.. makes me happy to be able to discuss this problem with someone..
i have been doing more testing. this are the new things i found out..
i have discharged the original battery by using it on a small circuit i have.. i then tested it with the tester and it was really low.. then i placed it back in the phone and left the phone charging all night to see if it would heat as noob.gamer said but it didn't.
interesting thing is that the battery is now charged again.. so i opened up the phone to look with the tester inside it..
looks like the charging microusb port works.. i can read about 5V on the pcb right where the connector is.. then i can read 3.3V right where the batter connect is.. when it is under charging, on the battery connector i can read much more than 3.3V which makes me suppose that the pcb is able to charge the battery afterall..
i just really can't understand why this thing doesn't give any sign of life.. power and volume buttons seem to close well when i press them, i can hear a small click.
is it possible that the phone motherboard can still charge the battery but has burned components on it?
components don't look very neat tbh, they all seems to have a black melt around.. here are some pics i did with another phone, sorry for quality

sorry, how can i do this?
do i have to enter software upgrade mode to be able to use the LG tools correctly? because this might explain why i wasn't able to flash it when i tried..

You have to press vol+ and then connect to usb(holding vol+), of course you have to be in SW Upgrade mode to get lg tool working
After you connected it, open LG tool and wait that it recognizes the phone

bah, sorry.. i have actually found a proper guide now here on xda.
so unfortunately i think i have a bigger problem here.. i have downloaded the universal lg drivers and installed them on a new computer, just to be sure to do everything from scratch correctly this time, and i then downloaded the lg support tools.
i started the tools which say the phone is not connected.. i then connected the usb to the pc.. then pressed vol+ and while it was pressed inserted the microusb to the phone. i tried it twice with the battery on and twice without the battery on.. (sd and sim are not in the phone)
unfortunately windows (xp) doesn't seem to recognize any device and doesn't install nothing. no new peripherals are detected in the device manager.
the lg suppor tools keep saying that the device is not attached and this btw was what i had with the other computer (when i just connected the phone without going into sw upgrade mode)..

Try to install drivers from lg tool, just to be sure that are right.
You should try also with another pc (win7) if you have this possibility, its strange that the tool doesnt recognize your phone in SW Upgrade Mode

i think there isn't much left to this phone sadly..
as you suggested i tried on another windows pc, this time 7.. i started directly the lg support tools and clicked on install drivers.. choose the lgp760 drivers and it downloaded them and installed them.. then i tried connecting the phone to the pc with the vol+ button pressed but nothing happens still..
is this sw upgrade mode suppose to start even without the battery?
edit: i tried rebooting the pc but still nothing has changed..

actually the phone is not mine. the person who gave it to me just told me this exact words:
"i was using the phone and received an update.. i downloaded it and installed it.. then i used the phone a 2 days and then it didn't work anymore."
this is all unfortunately.
when i try to start in sw update mode, nothing appears on screen.. i don't even hear the phone vibrating or making sounds.. nothing at all.
really looks totally dead.

try claiming the warranty. ..? and dnt mention root dev kdz words to them..just go ang say what your friend told u exact lines..and if u had open the lg l9 then pls screw it well and undetectable..and if possible..try sending a girl/older age(max 40 lol) woman to the lg service centre representatives..cuz they wont doubt a female doin root\black ops stuff on the phone..
remember there's a limit to xda work. .and that ends at hardware problems.

Funny thing, my p760 died yesterday with about the same symptoms and no way to get any vital sign of it. With the difference that the last update I did was like 3-4 weeks ago.
In my case seems like the back-top area gets a bit warm when charging, but I would say that just the usual. It might be, like someone said, a short circuit.
I guess it will not be a problem claiming the warranty and getting a new one. However I will not take the thing apart to be sure.

If you remove the phone battery and then, plug your phone to your computer, is there any signal on the USB port ? For example, on Windows, you should here a sound like if a device was plugged, unplugged, then plugged again, unplugged...
See this thread for more information :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2119090
If you don't have at least this reaction, you can assume the phone is really dead. Otherwise, you have probably a software issue with the bootloader or an hardware issue with the phone battery.

My bad, it is actually alive, and exactly as you said. I guess i didn´t press the combination properly :S. Seems like I might be able to update via "LG Support Tool" (vol+/power/usb). But first I need to try a backup, I would like to keep at least some photos I have on the phone.
Lets see if the sync software is able to do it...
---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 PM ----------
:/ As I expected the PC-sync software did not connect. And I don´t see any option to backup with the "support tool". Any options?
I suppose, the internal memory is just a memory card and I could just copy directly from the card, but I don´t want to take the phone apart (just in case a have to make use of the warranty in the end...)
Thanks in advance.
---------- Edit ----------
Well, the thing didn´t work out in the end. I tried upgrading with the "LG Support Tool" but the process never went further than 4%.
I will just return it, and I hope to get it back soon (or a new one... or whatever). In the meantime I can go back with my always reliable N5800

[GUIDE][G,U,Ch] DFU Unbrick Guide - Disassembly

DFU Unbricking Guide - When nothing else works

Heads-up: Now this guide is not the only way forward - EDL Tool has an integrated function to get out of DFU, and MultiDL (zte's tool) also works if you prefer MiFlash.
It is possible that you might still need to do a testpoint procedure to get into EDL.
Vick78 said:
4th category brick – phone status which does not allow to boot into next modes: Recovery, Fastboot, FTM, EDL. In Windows Device Manager the phone detects as ZTE Handset Diagnostic Interface(DFU) (COM...) whrn you connect it via USB cable. Any of possible manipulations give the same DFU mode (even when you force to install Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008, in reality it is still a DFU mode).
Click to expand...

This guide is based off of @Vick78 's 4th Category Brick Repair Manual. I had to follow the guide in mid-April, and after doing it I realized that rewriting the thread would help all of us.
Please thank Vick78 on the other thread. I've been endlessly sending people there to fix their phones, and it works like a charm.
All of this is at your own risk, however obvious that may be... If you don't think you can make it, take it to someone experienced and show 'em this guide.
Patience is key! Be really careful when doing this, or you can break something inside and lose functionality. Flex cables are awful.
0) Know your Model:
Turn your phone around and see what model it is. If you screw up and flash another model's ROM you can lose your IMEIs.
In some cases (AliExpress) the phones come with A2017G software even though they are A2017 models. Just beware.
1) What you Need:
• A Windows PC with (preferrably) 64-bit support. Win7 will do, although Win10 may make stuff slightly easier. If it is a tower PC, use the rear USB ports, not the front ones!
• Your corresponding FULL_EDL package. Download it from @WesTD 's Latest Stock ROMs thread. (Thank him too! :good
• MiFlash. Get it from Yandex or Mega, same file. Thanks @djkuz for the link.
• Metal paper clip or needle to short circuit the test point.
• Tiny Phillips screwdriver or at least a knife, to get the screws off.
• Stock USB cable, or at least one that works good with data transfer.
2) Disassembly Video
JerryRigEverything made a full teardown video. Watch the teardown part a couple of times (up to 3:40) until you're familiar with the parts. You don't have to take the speakers or the USB-C module off though, just keep them there.
3) Teardown Hands-On
Images are also from Vick78's thread.
Make sure that the phone is completely off before starting! Also take the SIM card tray off before separating the screen from the back housing or you'll break something
a) Take the speaker grilles out by prying on the edges. You don't need a heat gun for this. Remove the black material to expose the screws, but be careful not to break it if possible, because it protects the speakers.

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
b) Remove all the screws and VERY CAREFULLY separate the screen from the back housing, to avoid breaking the FP sensor's flex cable. After that, disconnect the FP cable with your nail or some preferably non-conductive thing
c) Take the protective metal piece out, then disconnect the battery, USB-C and display/power connector, then get all those screws out. Put them somewhere so that you won't lose them (piece of tape, maybe a magnet).
d) Take the motherboard out and disconnect the antenna wire that's below it, on the lower part.
e) Disconnect the rear camera. Leave the front one connected.
And now you can see the TEST POINT that you have to short
f) Since the testpoint is in the back of the motherboard, and you need to have the battery and USB-C connected, I advice you to pry the battery off. You can rupture it very easily though. If you don't want to do it, don't worry, it is possible to make without taking it off, but you might break a flex cable and, honestly, it's much harder to hold the connection on the test point while the mobo is facing downwards.
If you will pry out the battery, be REALLY careful and don't force it.
g) Put the motherboard with the test point facing towards you. Connect the battery and the USB-C module to it, and the USB-C cable to the USB-C module (But NOT to the PC yet!). Be VERY GENTLE with the "little lego connectors" as I broke a couple of pins from the USB-C connector (It still works fully, I believe they have redundant pins in case someone like me screws up)
4) Connection to the PC
Before flashing, we need to make sure that the drivers are the correct ones.
- Open Device Manager (if on win10, right click on the start menu button and select device manager), find "Ports (COM & LPT)", and open it. Leave Device Manager open for now.
- Find an USB port on your PC that you can reach while you short circuit the test pad. If you have a desktop PC, it has to be one of the rear ports (NOT the front ports, those have a lot of interference) and they should be USB 2.0 if possible.
- Take the clip and connect the test pad to the big chunk of metal that's right beside it:
-Insert the USB cable (previously connected to the phone) to your PC's USB port.
-Watch Device Manager now. The phone should appear as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008". If it does, just go to the next point. If it doesn't, see if it is called "QUSB_BULK" under USB devices (This happens if you used Zadig). If this happens, find the QUSB_BULK device, right click, Uninstall device, Delete the driver software for this device. After that disconnect the cable from the PC, disconnect the battery, and connect it again; and redo the clip thing up to this point. The correct driver should install itself.
5) MiFlash
- Open MiFlash, keep it ready
- Unpack the FULL_EDL file to a folder with the same name, then open the folder and make sure that the files are directly there (i.e. they aren't inside another folder), put it somewhere, and select it from miflash ("select" button, select the folder).
- Hold the connection with the clip, as stated in the image above
- Click on Refresh from MiFlash, as soon as it detects a device hit "flash"
- If all goes well, it should say "send configure command". Wait 3 seconds and get the clip out. If it doesn't get to this part or if it fails, just disconnect it from the PC, disconnect the battery and reconnect it, and try again. Do this until it succeeds and it flashes. You might need to do this more than 5 times! If it doesn't work, try leaving the test pad connected for more or less time, like 2 seconds, 2.5 seconds, 3.5 seconds, 4 seconds... But 3 seconds works for most.
-If the flashing works, once it ends, go to the recovery and factory reset the phone. Otherwise there might be conflicting information in /data.

actually you don't need to open your phone. I was same situation and made a deepflash cable. it needs a little electronic ability and passion. you can enter edl mode with this method but it is too hard and you must be very patient.
I got edl mode one time but miflash didn't install correctly stock rom and couldn't again. @asderdd helped me and my device is okay now.

It's not necessary, just taking out the board and the battery is usually enough. Be careful with the USB-C flex cable though, those are fragile

just my 2 cents here, better off getting cable like this
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XXCLMGM
bought one just to have one in any sort of emergency and even tested and works like a charm and is not just for ZTE devices but any snapdragon device out there....

And? Did you manage to pull it back together?

I have my Axon 7 since March 2017. After a month of owning it, when Android 7.0 was released, I rushed to flash a chinese rom. The result, a nice brick.
I tried with 3 EDL cables and shorting that pin, many many times. No luck. So back then I decided to put the phone back in its box, forget about it and move on. So eventually I purchased a new phone, wich I hated so much because it was more expensive than the Axon 7 and lacked in every aspect. So I sold it as well, and bought another phone, which I loved, but again, lacked in comparison to the Axon 7, until I was mugged. So I remembered that I had an Axon 7 lying around in its box, and decided to search XDA for a solution. That's when I found this thread and I decided to try and revive the phone.
All can I say is thank you. You brought my beloved Axon 7 back to me.
Thank you so much.

Thanks for the Guide! Annoyed at myself for my bonehead move that got me here in the first place, no biggie though as I used to repair phones for a living. If was any good with solder, I'd contemplate sticking a dab on that pin and never worry about not getting into EDL Mode again. I really like this phone, but the crap they've pulled in making it a nightmare to tinker with has me not desiring to get another one ever. OnePlus will probably get my next dollar set cuz of how open they are currently.

OnePlus will probably get my next dollar set cuz of how open they are currently.

i don't think that would be a good idea. your phone would probably ONLY enter EDL mode. But I thought seriously about soldering a pushbutton on it. thing is that if you somehow rip the pad off, your mobo is dead.

Try Flashing with the Axon 7 EDL Tool. The problem can also be the EDL package you are trying to flash. Try now a different one. If you can get to EDL mode, then it should work.

Woke up today to see my phone not turning on. Having troubles booting up and when I choose to go to recovery or fastboot through the unlocked bootloader warning menu it just bootloops. I connect my phone to my PC and it is already showing the "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" in device manager. Do I still need to open my phone and do the paper clip test in Step 4? Or can I continue on with the rest of the guide?

You should be able to just connect and do the final part. As long as your emmc is all right, of course

Thanks for the quick reply. Heh, how often is flash storage failing a problem with other users? =X

Maybe I've seen it once, but i'm on the q&a section all the time, so it's extremely rare. If it tries to boot then maybe it's just something much simpler

From FTM mode ( hold volume + and plug in USB cable) adb should be enabled. If the phone has a Qualcomm chip and Qualcomm drivers have been installed on your computer. Use "adb reboot edl" to reboot the phone into edl / Qualcomm 9008 mode. No need for cables or tearing the phone apart. This does not work on every phone.

Successfully flashed B35 EDL. Phone is unresponsive to any power or volume key presses. MicroSD card is removed. Still no cigar. Can't get the phone to be recognized as EDL mode anymore either. Phone detected with different USB port for EDL. Flashed again. Still nothing. Any suggestions? I still have the option of taking the phone apart, but that is a last resort if that makes the ability to RMA void.
I can feel the phone warming up when I plug it into a charger. That's the only sign of life I see in the phone.
