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.

Wassup aliens!
So I got this gionee M3 and I rooted it with iRoot and tried to flash recovery in nearly every way possible....... I tried using Flashify, Rashr, TWRP manager..... Nothing worked.
1) On Flashify: I kept selecting Flash recovery but the message I get every time is "Error copying the file, please send me the log file".
2) On Rashr and TWRP Manager: They both say they flashed the file but when I boot into recovery all I see is gray screen with a gionee logo. I also lost my stock recovery this way.
3) On PC: My PC never detects my phone as an adb or VCom device........To check for VCom I tried SP Flash Tools..... didn't detects the device. For Adb I tried Adb devices in command prompt but the devices list is empty.
Some info:
I have USB debug mode enabled.
I have stock 5.0.2 android rom with no recovery just factory safe mode through which I can perform some tasks.
If you need any pics or any info just tell me in the comments.
I hope you guys help me.... Been trying for the last 6 days.
HELP ASAP SOS

Hey i have the same problem. Can you suggest me something regarding this.
A very big question
Hello! I have an argentine copy of the M3, called Hyundai Ultra Energy, same processor, same storage, camera quality, all in the same place. My question is how do I install a custom rom and how do I flash the recovery at first. I use adb commands, but I know that I have to do it with spflash. How is the process? I download the rom, charge the scatter and tilt only in recovery? Would be dangerous? Is more safe to root with King Root?
Hello everyone.
So I decided to update my device as i find out that there is a new default ROM available for my device that is Infocus m530.
I downloaded the ROM and i was flashing it through Software Update Tool (SUT) in Normal mode. The installation process got stuck at 16% for like 10 or 15 minutes so I removed the USB (I know its a dumb move ) . And I rebooted the device and got stuck into a boot loop.
I can access the default 3e recovery mode only but because my ROM was in format ob .nb0 I am not able to Flash it using stock recovery, I can no longer access the FastBoot mode,
When i try to boot the device up it goes into One or two loops and the a windows pop up saying no command. In that window if I press power button the stock recovery shows up.
I tried to flash the ROM again using SUT in emergency mode but the device is getting disconnected automatically. In device manager its showing up as Mediatek Pre Loader USB VCOM for a second or 2 and then automatically getting disconnected and then same No Command menu.
For a minute a new device is also popping in the Explorer which usually contains all the default driver of the phone.
Any way I can recover my Bricked Device
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

I already tried it but it didnt work.
So finally I was able to fix the device. The META Mode ain't a myth. Flashed the ROM correctly in META mode and the device booted up properly.
Hello!
My phone, Acer Liquid Z630s, recently had a problem and ended up shutting off as soon as it boots up. I turn it on, the Acer powered by Android white screen shows up then immediately shuts off. What was the problem here?
I couldn't access recovery mode either because it would also show up the same thing above then shut off immediately before it can even reach the recovery mode menu. But I could plug it in directly into download mode through SP Flash Tools because the phone vibrates when I hold down the volume up + power buttons (aka the recovery mode combination which was I think also the download mode combination). I downloaded the correct stock ROM off the Acer website (MT6753) and flashed it. The ROM was successfully flashed. But when I turned it on the screen lit up but it was just a blank black screen. It was lit up, but it was just dark black. I tried to wipe the system and flash the ROM again and at the end of the process, an error message appeared and I looked up the error code and this was exactly it:
"Error 6104
Message: BROM ERROR: S_SECURITY_SECURE_USB_DL_DA_RETURN_INVALID_TYPE (6104), MSP ERROR CODE : 0X00
Meaning: Wrong flash settings or firmware
Solution:
Ensure you set the correct Download-Agent in SP flash tool and are using a firmware for your exact model
Go to Options > Option > Connection > USB Speed > Full Speed
Go to Options > Option > Download > Untick DA DL All with Checksum"
I did what the solution told me, and as I tried to flash the ROM again, but I couldn't turn on my phone anymore. The volume up + power button combination no longer produces a vibration, and when I plug it into my computer it gets detected as a MediaTek USB Port (COM6) but SP Flash Tools no longer detects my phone and gives off this error:
"Error 0x13BE
Message: S_DL_GET_DRAM_SETTING_FAIL (0x13BE)
Meaning: The firmware you're trying to flash is either not compatible with your device or you have selected the wrong flashing settings
Solution:
Ensure that the file(s) you're trying to flash are actually for your exact phone model
Ensure you tick the boxes for only the files present in the ROM you're about to flash"
I don't know what to do at this point. Is it beyond salvation? But my phone still gets detected by my computer and it still produces the sound when you connect a device through the USB ports. Help me please.
Thank you in advance.

Hi, If you flashed right stock firmware for your device correctly, your device it should not be bricked so I thing your flash file are not good.
Explain me what did you tried and which file you flashed?
