Bricked Acer A3-A20. Please Help me!! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
I really need help. A friend asked me to fix his tablet because it had malwares, so I rooted the device, and deleted the bad files, but then i got error messages, and at the end it went off. Now when i turn it on, it's stuck on the ACER logo, MT65xx goes on and off, I install all the drives but still goes on and off. I sent through adb sideload the stock firmware Acer_AV0K0_A3-A20_1.018.00_WW_GEN1_DCC thinking that i was going to unbrick the device but it didn't work. I tried smart phone flash with the 1.018.00 firmware but I keep getting BROM ERROR (2004). I checked the list of errors, and I changed the compatibility, and ran sp with administrator, but still error 2004. What can I do to unbrick it? By the way, I am following this xda thread to fix it, but I can't (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59693904&postcount=480) Thank you everyone!

hy friend use this sp flash tools v5.1515.00
this link download https://doc-0c-bc-docs.googleuserco...046/*/0B7XGoy6u4PgeX3ByYUNyWlpjZmc?e=download
go in sp flash tools then select scatter file where you download the rom on directory then check all,pres download ,now pres vol down and connect the usb to computer and tablet still press vol down,see the mtk usb on bar sp flash tools ,relese vol down and wait ,red bar,purple bar,yellow bar, ok circle , done ,now disconect the tablet and press power ,or check if have logo charger reput usb to computer.100 % tets by me work

I have a similar problem, but no error message...it just seems the computer can't see the tablet. I tried my Windows 10 machine and an old Windows XP machine I have lying around. I've installed several versions of drivers, and nothing. I'm so frustrated right now. @paulktm I tried your file, but there's nothing there. I don't get any kind of error message, the Win10 machine just acts like it sees the tablet for a second, then doesn't anymore. The XP machine sees it, but fails to install any drivers for it...even when I manually install them, they don't seem to do any good.
I'm so frustrated right now!!!

This is an old thread but maybe some poor soul finds it like I did and manages to get his device back as well.
I've had a lot of trouble with an Acer Iconia A3 A20 FHD that was stuck at the first logo screen. Powered off and connected to the charger it only showed the battery logo with the flash but no animation any more. Booting into recovery (Pwr+VolDn) worked but mounting the system partition didn't work.
SP Flash always aborted with the dreaded "BROM ERROR: S_BROM_DOWNLOAD_DA_FAIL (0x7D4)" / "BROM ERROR: S_BROM_DOWNLOAD_DA_FAIL (2004)" although cabling and drivers were perfectly all right. Obviously Acer patched the preloader in order to lock out SP Flash's download agent - that's customer support - thank you [email protected]#%&!!!
Solution: Power off, start SP Flash download/readback/whatever, press VolUp *and* VolDn simultaneously and plug in the usb cable. This way the download agent should be able to do it's job. I also plugged out the battery all the time and this seems to be necessary.
Flashing worked as it should and the tablet booted nicely and I didn't even loose my apps and data since I excluded the USRDATA partition from flashing.
Good luck!

Hi
same problem, tablet bricked after installing custom recovery and on boot loop
tried to unbrik with but SPF tools, com port is working but the firmware won't upload...
I waited for ages.. nothing...

[Q] How to flash with SP tool on MKT6577

Hi
Sorry to bother, but i just got a new Star B92M but im having a rough time trying to update it and flash it with SP Flash Tool
So far, i have tried this
To flash with the SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1224.01 (i get BROM 3013 error)
To flash with the SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1224.0.sn85 ( i get the 8038 error)
I have tried to run each of them as administrator
I have tried to click on Firmware-> Upgrade as someone suggested on a post
I have installed the preloader drivers
I have tried by taking our the battery and plugging in then put the battery on
But i havent been able to flash it. The phone is not bricked, it runs as nothing has happened, i do think although, that recovery is messed after so many tries since there is the red triangle when i try it.
I dont know if it is normal, but everytime i plug the phone when its off for flashing, is like it gets connected by usb for 2 seconds then disconnected, but its weird because when the phone is on, the usb works like charms, no problems on computer ports either or the usb cable, it just happens when i connect it when the phone is off (preloader i guess), yet i have installed the proper drivers read in many tutorials
Is there any other way to flash it? or any solution to this problem? Sorry for the bad english
Thanks in advance.

help on lenovo a7000 hard brick

my lenovo a7000 doesn't turn on, can't go to recovery mode. also my first hardbrick experience. desperate for help.
whenever i use spflashtools to download a fresh stock rom to my phone, it always shows this problem
"BROM ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032)"
I've also tried to format it, but the same problem comes up.
Then I saw this vid. It's about fixing any bricked china phone.
"How to Unbrick every MTK China Phone ! Preloader / SP Flashtool Fix [HD]"
(pls search it on youtube if you like. somehow i couldn't post links.)
I don't know, but I think this vid is trying to fix those phones that aren't recognized by the PC. But mine is recognized. It comes up on the Device Manager as a MTK USB Port (COM10) with the battery on. But it keeps on getting disconnected and reconnected again. But this stops when I remove the battery, put the battery back on, click on download on the spflashtools, then connect the USB. The error will appear, but somehow the connection becomes stable.
Also this video talks about META mode. With the battery out, I tried all of the key combinations to enter this mode, without success whatsoever. If you know something, pls. share.

Homtom HT3 stuck on boot logo

Hi guys, I recently purchased a Homtom HT3 for my mother, when it arrived to me I charged it and checked it out a bit just to make sure everything was fine which it was.
She collected it from me the next day and told me she'd start to use it the day after, she calls me up the next day and tells me there's some problems with it and a few people at her workplace tried to fix it for her to no avail. I pick the phone back up and I notice that everytime I power it on, it gets stuck on the "homtom" logo.
As I don't know too much about fixing phones I only took the following steps before asking for advice here; I went into recovery mode by holding up volume and power button, the android guy with the red triangle appeared so I tapped up + power button to get into the recovery(?) menu. I wiped the phone to factory settings and deleted the cache in there but it hasn't fixed the problem.
I assume I need to flash a firmware or something to potentially fix this, but I'm unable to find an official firmware from doogee/homtom's site for the HT3. I've found a firmware that I downloaded from "chinagadgetsreviews" but I'm a bit weary to try and flash with that rom because it isn't from the manufacturer. (even if I knew how to - the only experience I have is rooting my own phone but that's when I actually had access to a working phone, not one thats stuck on a boot logo).
Sorry for the long post but could anyone guide me in the right direction here? TIA
I'm not opposed to not using official firmware, I think I use cyanogen mod(?) on my own phone. I'd just like the problem fixed in the easiest way possible.
Trying to fix it myself by flashing a rom via SP flash tools but I've ran into another problem which is stopping any kind of progress - the phone isn't detected in Windows, I can't enable usb debugging because I can't get passed the boot loop, I've tried installing the ADB driver manually which didn't seem to work (just said it didn't install correctly and left me with a yellow exclamation mark) and I tried to install it automatically via ADB driver installer but it just throws up an error that the device isn't detected.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bluboo s1 SP flash help pretty please

Hello.
Everything has gone terribly wrong for my phone and I desperately need your help.
I downloaded what was stated on needrom.com I made sure MTK vcom was installed properly and had the correct rom from needrom.com but I still got Brom Error: STATUS_BROM_CMD_SEND_DA_FAIL in SP flash when using MTK_AllInOne_da.bin.
I then tried DA_PL.bin and got another error. I tried to uncheck preloader and run Download through SP flash with DA_PL.bin which worked just fine. However now I'm stuck at the Bluboo logo screen and phone does not load into android.
I still get Brom Error: STATUS_BROM_CMD_SEND_DA_FAIL in SP Flash if I use MTK_AllInOne_da.bin but if I use DA_PL.bin now I get this error:
Chip mismatch!
Scatter:MT6757D
device: MT6757
Please help me, my phone is bricked until one of you help me. I'd be forever grateful!

Don`t worry about that, first this is the link of the last update https://www.google.com/url?q=https:...ds-cse&usg=AFQjCNFJKeEcDClPU2MnxLJefaQ19GmQpQ
for more success put your folder of SPFlash Tool near to folder of your unpacked rom (for short transmission of data) and Bluboo S1 has a few different way to enter to other mtk cause battery it`s not removable like other just disconnect it and connect again; in this case connect cable usb to your device, prepare all the files in SPFlashTool and click download and now while pressing both volume + and - connect cord to pc till SPFlashTool begin to recognize files (red letters) and release now, SPFlashTool continues process till 100% in yellow progressing line

Thanks!!! It works!!!!
Just be very careful. The USB C connector port in the phone is very loose... so make sure you can hold the cable tight other wiser it will lose the connection and brick your phone. For me, I had to remove the Plastic cover to be able to hold the power cable tight!
Hi, could you help me please? I did your steps, but it is not working. Sp flash does all its job, shows the green sign, but the phone stills dead. What I noticed the usb connects with the phone, then it disconnects. I tried to install the drivers as the tutorials say like deactivating the driver signature enforcement, but nothig happens well.

Acer iconic B3-A30 stuck on boot

Hey everyone
My tablet just doesn't start anymore
it's stuck on the Acer start up logo and I literally don't know what do to anymore
I found a thread which said that i needed to re-flash the Rom with SP Flash Tools
but i'm getting this error S_BROM_DOWNLOAD_DA_FAIL (2004)
tried changing download agent and unchecking preloader too still not working, tried all my pc usb ports still not working
the usb drivers are the official ones from the Acer website
I also tried to do an hard reset but i'm unable to go into Recovery mode
I do all the steps but the tablet just doesn't boot at all
the only thing i managed is to go into the fastboot mode, but adb doesn't find the device
if anyone could help me with this, I would really appreciate that.
Same thing here, but for me adb finds the device, maybe it's just faulty hardware?
