Hi all.
I guess I am in deep trouble.
I have a Lenovo P780 (chinese base rom) 4gb version. Rooted it and installed with CWM recovery for P780. Installed Muse UI 3.0 custom rom from custom recovery via sd card. Swapped the internal SD with External SD card by editing the vold.fstab and vold.fstab.nand also.
However, I realised that there are a lot of bloatwares that took up the RAM and started uninstalling chinese apps that seems to come with the custom rom from system. However, when I restarted the phone, its now unable to boot beyond the 1st boot screen. (Boot loop)
Current state of the phone now:
1. Able to enter custom recovery mode, but menu is blank except for the navigation commands. (return, up, down, confirm)
2. Able to enter adb only when the phone is in custom recovery mode.
3. Able to connect to PC (Windows 7 64bit). Mediatek MT6589 usb drivers installed. Many versions of sp flash tools installed and tried.
4. Can't seem to enter fastboot for this phone. (Tried many key combinations. Only Meta mode, recovery mode and factory mode are found)
Things I had tried:
1. Flashing stock rom.
I had downloaded the stock roms and tried flashing with sp flash tools, but I always encounter the following errors. Had also tried switching to another windows XP based pc and still encounter these errors.
(a) Firmware -> upgrade. Tried Auto Format Flash also and it returns with the same errors.
- BROM ERROR: S_FT_FORMAT_FAILED (4010)
Format flash error. Possibly given wrong format range. Please check your format settings.
(b) Download (all img boxes checked)
- BROM ERROR: S_FT_DOWNLOAD_FAIL (4008)
Download to flash fail!
(c) Download (only one img checkbox ticked, tried system.img and recovery.img)
- - BROM ERROR: S_FT_DOWNLOAD_FAIL (4008)
Download to flash fail!
2. Flashing recovery from adb terminal via windows and usb connection
When I put the phone to the custom recovery (with missing menu options), the adb terminal is able to recognise the phone and returns the following after the command 'adb devices':
0123456789ABCDEF recovery
Upon entering the shell via 'adb shell', I am given the # sign. (already in SU mode?)
Tried to flash a recovery image from this mode via terminal command flash_image, but encounters the following problems:
(a) unable to mount/remount
- mount -o remount rw /system
mount: mounting rw on /system failed: Invalid argument
chmod 777 /system/flash_image
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
no response from the terminal after this command.
I had tried and tried these for more than a week after work, but had not been successful in reviving this phone. Appreciate if anyone can assist me as I had ran out of ideas already.... Please assist me in reviving this good phone. Many Thanks!

Yep. Tried using several versions of the drivers downloaded from different places and used USBDeview to remove/reinstall them. The error still comes back and haunt me.
maybe this can help you
No luck.... formatting is not working in sp flash tool (4010 error) and the preloader in the thread is not for my phone.....
Anyone able to help pls....?

have you use google my brother ? google is our true friend.
but i glad if i can help you:angel:
you can visit this for factory rom
or you can visit lenovo forum
or you can go to needrom
Yeah. Google had been my fren, but no more after googling for 2 weeks without a solution. Trust me. I had looked thru most solutions found in google and had tried without any success before I post here.
All those stock roms of all release numbers I had already tried as mentioned above, with sp flash tools (tried many versions of that also.) ALL attempts are stucked with the errors mentioned above. The sp flashtool simply just fills the red status bar, and stopped with one of the errors in my 1st post.
I've even checked the chinese forums. My situation seems to be this:
The partition table of the flash memory had been reformatted thanks to the custom rom flashed via sd card. That's why it always returns a format flash error when I attempt to flash back to the stock rom which uses a different format range using sp flash tools. The only way out is to do a clean format of the flash memory. But I haven't find a way to do that via sp flash tool or mtk droid tool.
My only recourse is on of the following:
1. If I can restore the custom recovery (via adb in recovery mode(no fastboot) or meta mode) and make it workable to do another sd card flash with a custom rom. I have no idea why the options in my custom recovery went missing. It was working before I flashed the custom rom. I guess that accursed rom somehow erased my custom recovery during boot.
2. If I can somehow be able to do a complete flash format with the correct format parameters using some tools. Sp flash tools had failed me so far.
Anyone is able to help in these directions? Many thanks....
The sp flash tool log also have this line when I searched for 'Errors'
FlashTool[2684][8556][DEBUG]: ERROR: OperationIndicator::QueryDADLHint(): da_dl_type(??) error, could not find DA download hint!(.\OperationIndicator.cpp,98)

I think it's because the driver is not installed, try to disable digital signature on your windows, and reinstall driver for your phone
for how to disable digital signature go to this

Already tried this. I had tried on 2 pcs. Windows 7 and windows xp (no digital signature). Same errors occur in both pcs. I really don't know what is going on with this phone. Nothing seems to work.
PS: Have been running the program as administrator all along also.
Sent to a phone repair shop and its at worst state than before now. Unable to power on. Connecting phone to computer and tried using sp flashtool now gives 4032 error (Enable Dram failed).
Any hope with reviving this phone now?

Hi, first, do you have SP Flash Tool installed on your PC and have the drivers installed? If yes, download the stock ROM of your choice from here and flash it with via SP Flash Tool, and your phone should be revived.
Flashing methods are clearly stated in case if you don't know how to do it.

Hello,
I am having a big issue with my Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet. I tried to install a new rom on it and I am stuck in the recovery step.
I achieved to unlock the phone, install the fastboot drivers and flash the boot of my device. I can access to the CWM-based Recovery v6.0.5.1 menu but I just can't put the new rom in my /sdcard/xx directory.
I've tried to use the "adb push cm-11-....-windy.zip /sdcard/0/" command line, but I receive the message: "error: device not found".
I then check the command "adb devices" and indeed the device is not listed even though the device is connected. I then tried to reboot the device (after wiping the data/factory reset, cache partition and dalvyk cache, but my tab is not rebooting on anything. I have nothing but the wave background. Once the device got at that stage, the "adb devices" commande shows the following message: CB51xxxxxx unauthorized. It looks like I have a driver problem or something similar, but I tried to install different drivers and nothing worked so far.
So from there, I am lost, I can't boot my system with the original rom and I can't transfer any new rom in the memory to install a new one.
I would appreciate it a lot if anyone could give me some leads on how I could transfer the new rom on my device or at least recover the original sony firmware so that I can use my tablet again.
Thank you for your answers and time
P.S. I also tried the slideloader option, but since it seems to work on the adb program, it's not working either.

I found a solution, I flashed my tablet with flashtool and a working ftf file. Then I could have my tablet running the original sony rom and finally I could transfer the cyanogen rom into the tab. Everything is running fine now.
Hello friends,
I was using a General Mobile etab4 tablet,
rooted,
bootloader locked,
not backed up, i tried but apps wont recognize the brand,
the stock rom is not available anywhere but I managed to find some custom ones.
This tablet is actually a given by government for educational purposes, and it has no download mode, I can only initiate recovery mode with volume up+power button combo, and there is no sd card in it.
Here is what happened. It was running with problems so I decided to flash a custom rom I find on this forum. First I tried flashing using adb sideload. I got an error message "Installation aborted" with no error codes after verification step but it does not state whether verification is failed or not. I don't know what actually failed. Then I tried to flash it using adb shell as root (the system image was in /sdcard directory). It freezed, I exit the shell using Ctrl+C command. Then whenever I try to start shell i got "error:closed" message. I see my device with adb devices with sideload, but it is not seen in fastboot devices.
When I try to open it, I guess it enters in a small boot loop (screen flickers multiple times with brand name on it) and after some time I got dead android with no command written.
I tried,
reflashing it again with Android AIO Flasher,
use fastboot to unlock bootlader (it says "waiting for device") although adb devices sees it,
re-installing the adb drivers after uninstalling them,
disassembling the device to see if I can detach memory to edit it and to see if disconnecting the battery helps,
I even used a simple jig to see if i can initiate download mode (know it works for specific devices but you know hope)
Apparently, I messed up the device but the hardware must be all fine. So I think there must be a way out. What can you suggest, I wish I have unlocked the bootloader. I can send the pictures of its motheboard it helps,
Thanks in advance.

I have a similar problem with Huawei Y320-U030, MTK 6572, Android 4.2.2 with many malware infections. Almost all applications keep crashing, Factory Reset from Settings does not work, but I can do it from the recovery and it seems to complete successfully but when the devices boots, all user applications and files are there. I have flashed it with stock ROM and backup ROM from an other working similar phone, the flashing process completed successfully but when the device boots all user files and applications are untouched, even after formatting the whole flash with Sp flashtool, Volcano box and Miracle box! An applications called DU Speed Booster is set as device administrator with a pattern lock which cannot be deactivated. Uninstalling the imo application makes the device reboot and hang on Huawei logo untill the battery is pulled out. I can't install any new apk or root the device even using PC. Music, videos, and photos in the internal memory can be copied with a computer but cannot be deleted. Formatting the internal memory with a PC seems successful but all files on the device are intact. Very interesting case indeed.
Hi there,
I have a problem with my wiko rainbow 4G, it's soft-bricked.
This happend while i was trying to update the software (normal notification, official update). It just rebooted into recovery.
I'm stuck there now and tried several thing like: adb side-load (transfers files, but always returns: intallation aborted, Updating from sd card (same error), factory reset and clear cache did nothing.
While in recovery my phone only shows up as an sideload adb device (in adb interface). I don't know how to get into fastboot to install custom recovery either, tried both power + up and/or down volume buttons.
Also most guides ask me to use a flash tool, but these don't do anything. The official software doesn't detect the phone (neither in normal, sideload or recovery state.
I am left clueless, please help
Thanks
