I was playin' around with my HD 7 and trying to get Lollipop on it, and I found that I had OS 5.1.4. Only 5.1.2 and below could be rooted, so I downgraded to 5.1.1. Apparently, downgrading to 5.1.1 BRICKS YOUR FIRE. So I said, OK, nothing shows on screen (no boot logo, anything), but the computer still detects it as MT65XX preloader. I managed to install the VCOM driver. I got SPFT to flash stock ROM back into the Fire, but I can't find any scatter files for HD 7. Does anyone know exactly which MediaTek chip the HD 7 Gen 5 has? Or does anyone have a scatter file for it? I have its firmware in .bin and CWM ROM format, I can't find a way to flash it to such a low-level bricked device. I also can't convert those formats into scatter files, and I don't have another MTK device. Someone know how to fix this, or is this a permanent hard brick?
me too
unfortunately i have done a complete search on the internet and found no solution ... my tablet now is just a rock

Unbrick amlogic tablets
Hello stoio
I have almost the same Tablet. It's a Prestigio PMP5580C, for me it is labeld as Intenso Tab 814, but they are completely the same. I have tried to find the u-boot.bin in the stock firmware, but I didn't sucess yet. I've downloaded several tools which allows me to make my 16 GB MicroSD card recognized as a 512 MB SD card, there I have to put the files on it to unbrick my tablet, it's amlogic (like my username) (someone told me that this is the chipset). It has a TOSHIBA TC58TEG6DCJTA00 NAND flash chip of 8 GB capazity. I also need help by getting my tablet unbricked.
In the future Inwant to learn with this amlogic based tablet how to create custom ROM's, recoveries and custom boot splash screens.
Thanks for any help, I reall appreciate your help,
Please note that I'm from Germany and my English is not good as it should used to be, but I have a dictionary (as a normal book) where I can get good communication with you. I like the idea of using english only.
Every Image (.img) were made with the dd command, I need to look inside in the images and open the content, I used a hex editor and tried to strip off the 2k of data, but I can't success. I'm using this tutorial:
I'm using this hex editor under linux: Okteta
I don't know how to delete the 2k of data. I need to know what content the partitions have to unbrick my amlogic based tablet, cause I'm seeing still the white android robot, and the charging battery or charged plugin picture, but this tablet doesn't have a bootloader or recovery so I'm out of ideas, the only way for me is to use a microsd card like an live cd to automatically let this tablet flash stock firmware, but where is it? Please help me out, I meight be wrong, it's possible that different repairing ways exist, too.
I received a free Skytex Skypad 7" tablet and promptly attempted to flash a custom rom and proceeded to brick it. I am curious as to where to post for further help.
It is a MT8127 chip (if that is helpful at all). There is not a power light or anything on the tablet so I am not sure if it is even charging. My win7 laptop can no longer recognize the device. I have installed the latest VCOM drivers and the recovery image from Skytex's website, but I cannot get the SP Flash Tool or the SP Multitool to recognize the device.
If this tablet is as bricked as I think it is, anyone have any ideas for what else I can do with it (part wise maybe)?
Thanks in advance for any help!
i bricked my acer b1 a71 trying to install twrp. after flashing it successfully and went to reboot . it just showed ther acer logo then blank screen. i tried going to recovery but was just able to go to the first part where you have three choices sd image update mode flashboot mode and clean boot. i tried all three and just acer logo then blank screen. tried the reset pin on the side but still nothing. i read and study all tutorials there is and it all boils down to having a stock rom. now i"ve searched and searched the entire net and i was able to get two stock roms but i dont know if it is okay or not because when i use the scatter file on sp flash tools it says scatter file error or format error i tried to rename it but till error. i used every version of sp flash tools and still scatter file error. so i dont know if those roms are legit or not. also my laptop is 64 bit. i read somewhere that mtk6577 is not supported by 64 bit. the mtk on the specs of acer is mtk8317t but it is also recognized as mtk6577 and that is also what mtk droid tools showed. can anybody please help me here. i know xda has helped a lot of peole and im hoping that i can be also one of them. thanks a lot in advance.
Hi, I just (fully?) bricked my Fire HD 7 4th gen.
I tried powerpoint45 Linux ISO unbrick system, but with no luck. Handshake script recognize device and run ok but when i try to run ./reader.sh it just stuck forever. I read, in that case my device is hard bricked without option to unbrick it. But I also read, there is something like "special" fastboot cable. Is there any chance to unbrick in my case?
I've no recovery and OS. Device don't react on button, I tried many combinations. The only sign of live is get Fire HD connect to computer and see in device manager there is "MT65xx Preloader"' device.
I've disasembled back cover if this helps.
Can you provide more details? What version of fire OS are you on and what exactly did you do that caused the device to brick? Without at least knowing that much people won't be able to help.
Ok, I'll start from the beginning. I originally had FireOS 5.3.1.1 and successfully downgrade my Fire HD to FireOS 4.5.3 so I can root device and flash recovery (this tutorial -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd/general/how-to-downgrade-to-4-5-3-root-device-t3139351). Then i follow this tutorial to get Lollipop ROM and root -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd/general/root-os-5-1-2-kingroot-tools-play-store-t3371824. There are steps to do when OS is less than 4.5.5 (me). Tutorial said "upgrade OS to 5.1.2". I had sideloaded file update-kindle-20.5.4.2_user_542168620.bin but then i accidentally reset system (tutorial said to do factory reset and then restart system). Thats my flow to brick Fire HD 7 4th
Did you ever find a solution to this?
Hi. I have a Lenovo Tab 4 8 inch tablet (TB-8704F). I rooted the tablet and in the process of trying to get rid of the Wifi feature I tried deleting the file wlan.ko from /system/lib/modules. Now the tablet refuses to start and it's not detected by my computer. I assume it's soft or hard bricked. Anyone could help to re-soft it or something like that?
Any luck yet ?
Any luck yet? Can you get the device in Fastboot mode ? In case you need IMG files: Using the brilliant YouTube tutorial from RootJunky on 'How to pull your own stock Android firmware from your device', I have pulled BOOT.IMG, SYSTEM.IMG and RECOVERY.IMG from my device, TB-8704F - Android 8.1.0.
