flash not done and can't get back to download mode - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I had my device running slow from the moment I opened it the first time.
I know I should have take it to the warranty, but I needed the time all day.
I dropped it so I couldn't take it there anymore.
Now, since the warranty is void, I wanted to change the 5.0.2 lollipop, hoping for a normal response time from it.
I tried installing TWRP and I didn't suceed. It got stuck on the Lenovo logo.
I managed to put back a recovery from another ROM (lenovo) and used QcomDLoader.exe to flash another rom. A stock version of A6010 but of 16GB ROM not 8 like mine.
It didn't work, even if I waited more than 500 seconds (more than 5 minutes). Now, it's in black screen, won't come out of it.
I managed to find some errors with another qualcomm flash applications:
Code:
Sahara Version:0
Start Sending Programmer
Download Fail:System.Exception: Unable to download Flash Programmer using Sahara Protocol
at QC.QMSLPhone.Phone.QPHONEMS_SaharaArmPrgDownload(String sFileName)
at QC.SwDownloadDLL.SwDownload.QPHONEMSSaharaDownloadArmPrg(UInt64& version, String armPrgPath)
Download Fail:Sahara FailSahara Fail
Finish Download

I hope someone has an idea that could help me out. I'm trying non-stop for 10 hours now. My head really hurts, I didn't just post this here without trying to solve it myself first.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Andrei

UPDATE:
Okay, so I managed to install a 8GB A6000 firmware, but the GSM network is not working. It shows 2 sims of 2G and none is working.
I have the open source files of my original firmware on lenovo's site.
How could I replace the entire OS, so masically copy/paste the files from computer onto the phone? Or ..can I make a flash version from those files?
Thank you!
Andrei

Question: My 5x will only show in QC download mode as 9008. I have this same error for my LGH791 with the error you show above for Sahara fail. How did you overcome this? Was it the flash programmer, did you determine the cause?

SP Flash tool - Completely Dead Phone (UMI X2)

Hi, I was trying to use Flash tool and Don't know what happend but My Phone is completely DEAD right now even power button is also not working no screen is there (just blank phone).
I am having UMI X2 2GB rom, 32 gb internal memory, 1.5 GHZ (MT6589T) Model.
I tried to use SP Flash tool to recover my phone. Firstly I tried to format the phone, After that I tried to run the correct scatter file for MT6589 (from one of the ROM Posted under UMI-X2).
Drivers for the SP Flash tool is loaded correctly (into my Windows 8 Pc). I was previosly getting error as follow : SP FLASH TOOL ERROR: (8200)
[Platform Error] The load and target are inconsistent!
Now, after searching a lot I found that its something wrong with SP Flash tool version.
So I downloaded SP Flash Tool V3.1304.O.sn119 version. After that I am trying to "Download" the rom (with the correct scatter file for my ROM). but its only showing me RED Bar (with 100%) and after that it does nothing. Its neither showing me any error nor its continuing the process.
I am in serious problem here. Please help me out.
Thanks in advance!

Try this version of :
SP Flash Tool
October Official Rom
USB Drivers (if needed)
Works for me.
Necro thread...
I have the same issue.
A couple of days ago the phone just started turning off / locking up when off, and having great difficulty tuning on... i.e. pulling out the battery for a minute or a few times.
Now the phone won't turn on at all. They only sign of life is the charging animation when you plug it in.
Prior to all this, there appeared a window in Chinese with some options. my GF (who's phone it is) just pressed something, no idea what. But she said something about 'drawing on the screen'??? sound like something locked up and the previous frame wasn't deleted from the frame buffer before redrawing the new one... I have no idea.
Anyway, I tried going into recovery to see if there was anything I could do there, unfortunately everything was in Chinese, so not much help. for some reason now, the recovery isn't even working.
Now I can connect to the phone via SPflash, but I get the above response: '[Platform Error] The load and target are inconsistent!'
Some other ROMs I tried give me this response:
'The load to be downloaded is for MT6589;
The target platform is MT6582_S00'
Which is quite suspicious.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hard Bricked OUKITEL K10000 MAX, help!

Tried rooting my phone, the oukitel k10000 max, with sp flash tool and it hard bricked straight away, download and recovery don't work but windows recognizes it's there when I plug in with usb so theres hope, I just can't seem to find a solution that actually works in any way, also I didn't back up nvram or dram so now when I try to flash it gives me the (4032) error code for dram, seemingly can't flash anything at all. Help would be greatly appreciated, might even wire some paypal dough if someone can help me get it working again? Also my drivers are installed properly as far as i can tell, i installed them in the disable driver signature verification start-up mode.

Don't worry, I've had this exact issue for a while and fixed it. Do you have anything I could contact you on? I'm not really often on xda so if you had discord for example it'd be much easier.

Anyone wanna help me with my K10000 Max? Tried installing the stock rom with Magisk installed, with the Smart Phone Flash tool and it completely bricked my phone. Black screen and wont even respond to the power button. When connecting it with a PC, Windows complains about not recognizing the USB device. Do i have a 200€ brick now that i can toss in the garbage? Please help before the wife finds out and kicks my head in!
EDIT: Disconnected the battery and the phone gave little signs of life again and was actually recognized by the flasher software. Tried to flash a stock image again and it gave me this:
S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL
[Description]
l [EMI] Enable DRAM Failed.
[Solution]
l Please check your images to make sure it matches with your phone and download again.
EDIT 2: Figured it out myself! In a deep despair, i tried like a 1000 different roms but nothing worked. Even the backup rom that i made before i first flashed my phone didn't work, giving me a different error, something about the chipset. Today, i wondered why the scatterfile said my rom was for the 6735 chipset, as the K10000 MAX is a 6753 device. Changed the line in the scatter file manually and tried to flash it afterwards and i nearly **** my pants when it actually started flashing the phone. Flash was successful and now the phone is working again. Now i just need to find a working custom rom for it.

Help: QFIL gives Sahara Fail while trying to flash V7+ (vivo 1716)

Hi good people, this is my first post since I don't know where else to go.
My phone Vivo V7+ received an OTA update, so I downloaded and installed the updates, but after updating my phone now can't detect SIM card, I tried many different good SIM but still can't be detected.
I tried factory reset but failed, can't revert back to old firmware.
So I spent many hours of researching and watching YouTube tutorials and I tried to flash stockrom via QFIL. First I encountered problem going into EDL mode (which I spent hours of researching too) but solved it by shorting pinout at the back of the phone.
My laptops detect my phone qualcomm 9008 COM3, downloaded two V7+ stock rom and when I tried to flash via QFIL it will always give "Sahara Fail".
Some methods I tried;
1. Putting firmware at bin folder
2. Renaming folder into shorter name
3. Click download fast as soon as phone gets into EDL mode
4. Tried unlocking bootloader via adb but failed
5. Turn on airplane mode in laptops
Hopefully someone can help , thanks.
Anyone? Help? Now i lost my IMEI and i don't know what is the original number
While probably flashing wrong files you wiped baseband data .
To fix your imei you will need this QCN file which you can download from here:

Good luck
Thanks @Teddy Lo for replying. All I did was followed the steps how to flash stock rom and I did downloaded the rom of the same model. But the steps that are floating around are not in great detail. And many YouTube tutorials are not in English almost 99% are in Hindi.
After my attempt of flashing I lost my IMEI and I don't have the box anymore (threw them away long time ago, lesson learned).
I guess I need to visit the nearest Vivo service centre for repair.
Thanks again for replying and providing necessary links.
Hi , why you give up so easy ?
1. Download this firmware :
https://www.mediafire.com/file/1f5r...xx.0_msm8953_split_Repairmymobile.in.rar/file
Once you downloaded extract to Desktop ...
2. Now , Run Qfil tool with Administrator and insert each files to right places .
See image bellow
https://ibb.co/09Fb9k5
Select just the way I marked it in the picture!
Let me know if you fixed or not ...
Wow thanks @Teddy Lo for replying.
Why am I giving up? Maybe because I scouted forums and YouTubes for hours and day, and when I tried it on my Laptop it keeps giving the same error over and over.
The big problem now is that I lost my original IMEI (whis is stupid of me not talking note of it before doing anything else), and I threw my box long time ago.
I'm gonna try the link you gave me and let you know how it goes. Thanks.
Hi @Teddy Lo, so I tried flashing again and I didn't get "Sahara fail" this time but instead I got "Firehose fail".
Oh well guess I'll be visiting Vivo .
Thanks again.
SOLVED.
I went to Vivo service center and told them to wipeout everything and downgrade firmware to the previous version and they did it in 20 minutes.
Now my phone is working normally and they got my IMEI back.
Admin please close thread.

Hi,
I have recently bricked my AC70HELLO and tried uncessefully to flash stock firmware (from firmwarefile.com/archos-hello-7 ) but always got STATUS_DA_HASH_MISMATCH (with SP Flash Tools V5.1924 and V5.2020) or STATUS_BROM_CMD_SEND_DA_FAIL (with SP Flash Tools V5.1744) errors (with MTK_AllInOne_DA or DA_PL defaults DA).
Could you please share the Download Agent and the stock firmware from Archos ?
I have asked Archos for it in vain, they respond me "Sorry we don't have any FW available for this device. Thanks for your understanding," which got me a bit mad... I mean if my device's constructor doesn't have its stock firmware then who does ?
Here's the "latest" fimware from Archos http://update.archos.com/AFMv2/downloads/ac70hello_archos/20181101.075911/update.zip
Does anybody happen to have a reliable guides and reliable downloads to flash other firmwares to this Hello 7?
I tried several guides but somehow they are inconsistent, incomplete or simply not working. Some say I need TWRP without a link to a working image, others say I could use fastboot which generates "not allowed in locked state". I found out myself that I could work around that error by running "fastboot oem unlock" but after flashing, my Hello keeps hanging in a boot loop. (also after "fastboot oem lock")
Fortunately with @fraenK 's link, I could revert back to stock.
I have been using the Pixel Experience 10 GSI ROM from Expressluke so far. Other GSI ROMs should work as well. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/gsi-expressluke-built-gsis.4003457/

Hi everyone,
I bricked my Archos Hello 7 by trying to flash TWRP.
I'm looking to flash my device but it's hard to find informations for this device and nothing works for me.
I tried with SP Flash tool V5.1744 and few drivers versions without results.
I always have STATUS_DA_HASH_MISMATCH or BROM_CMD_SEND_DA_FAIL.
Every time I plug my device, the detected USB is the "Mediatek PreLoader USB VCom", do you think it's the good driver ?
@buzz-27 can you (or someone else) upload your file again, the link on Free is dead.
@Dawnowl444 did you solve your flashing problem ?
Thanks guys.

Hi,
My AC70HELLO is still bricked unfortunately. I've got a corrupted logo.bin and no way to flash stock rom except with SP Flash Tool. But I can't get passed STATUS_DA_HASH_MISMATCH error.
I tried this utility without much success...
GitHub - MTK-bypass/bypass_utility
Contribute to MTK-bypass/bypass_utility development by creating an account on GitHub.
github.com
It's now easy to bypass MediaTek's SP Flash Tool authentication
A group of developers has created a Python utility to bypass the authentication routine of MediaTek SP Flash Tool. Check it out now!
www.xda-developers.com
With --force I still get STATUS_DA_HASH_MISMATCH and the utility says "Device secure boot: False ; Device serial link authorization: False ; Device download agent authorization: False" wich is weird...
Let me know if you got any more luck with that than me.
If your AC70HELLO is'nt really bricked you can try to flash back stock recovery via fastboot.
Hi Dawnowl444,
Thanks for your tips, I gonna try with bypass_utility but without hope .
Maybe we need to do some hardware tweak to allow to flash the device.
There is here a French tutorial to disassemble the Hello 7. http://rnc.free.fr/hello7/hello7.html
In the firmware I found online, the file Checksum.ini refers to the version 1708 of SP Flash Tool, I tried with itn but without success, maybe it can be successful for you.
Unfortunately, I can't boot into recovery mode, that's why I try to flash with the Flash Tool.
If I succeeded to flash my device I will let you known.

Ok thanks. By mistake I'm flashed the Hello 10 ROM in my Hello 7, and now it restarting continuously. I can enter in fastboot but I cannot flash the ROM - error: FAILED (Remote: not allowed in locket state) Do you know another way to flash the correct firmware? I can not enter in recovery mode.

Can you tell us which DA did you use ? I have tried all DA from the SP Flash tool with no results.
Maybe we have a different model/revision, mine has the FCC ID : SOVAC70HELLO

I wondered if someone could try to help me? :)

Hello guys! I have a problem with one phone that i am trying to fix for someone and I feel sooo, sooo completely lost in all of this as I know almost nothing about this. The cell phone model that is in question is Alcatel One Touch Pop C3-4033x.
It seems to be using a Mediatek chipset and I was reading some of your advices here & there and tried using the program called SP FlashTools but it always resulted in error, in the end. It seems that something is wrong with this phones emmc flash memory. So, I tried transfering some files as a zip files to the SD-card and tried to apply update from it, but it said always: Installation aborted. And then, I have tried looking for a way to flash stock firmware of that specific Alcatel model on SD-card, but I just don't have any clue how to do it, if it is possible, even. Maybe I should just give up trying?
Oh, I almost forgot to write that the phone doesn't have the access to Android OS and USB debugging isn't turned on, because computer doesn't seem to list it and I don't know if there any button combinations that Alcatel uses for this model to get into that fastboot or adb mode, even though have installed mediatek drivers. It can only get into Android System Recovery 3e. That seems to be everything, I think, at least.
Oh guys, I am so, so, so sorry if I am bothering you with this. I just didn't know what or where else to ask this. Thank you sooo much!
Hi download those files:
Firmware:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/bpm4ibsbmr4q6nc/OT-4033X-Without_Mobilis_logo__BY_GSMSERVE.rar/file
SP Flash tool:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603870440
Driver:
https://mega.nz/#!8VYkQCxD!fkhTrZwFFILDAglO1cR_8pIM4Cel52brZ7RB6QZoc6o
Once you downloaded all right driver open SP flash tool and add Scatter file
MT6572_Android_scatter.txt
Click on Download , connect your phone without battery and see if the process is going on if not try again with battery inside.
If you end up with error do the same thing but now first do Format then after is Finish do Download. Good luck ...
It still displays error :/
Teddy Lo said:
I have tried to do everything like you have said, but it still displays error when i press the Download button, and it displays that error after some seconds pass and also the same happens hen i try to use the Format function. This is the error it displays when i tried with the download button: BROM ERROR: S_DA_SDMMC_WRITE_FAILED (3149)
And this is the same error it displayed when i tried using the Format function: S_DA_SDMMC_WRITE_FAILED (3149)
i am so, so sorry for bothering with this.
