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.

check on hardware, there must be trouble with your flash chip ic, try to rehot it first.
if doesn't work that mean your flash chip ic completely dead
Hello guys, I have a HiSense U970 with the MT6589 chipset which got hard bricked a week ago. The phone is running a stock 4.2.1 JB and rooted. The problem is that whenever I try to flash anything using SP Flash Tool it shows this error:
BROM ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032)
[EMI] Enable DRAM failed
I am hopeful the phone isn't totally dead since it can be:
- Detected by the computer WITHOUT the battery while holding vol down
- In Device Manager, it would show MTK USB Port (ComX) under Ports when vol down is held.
This is what happens now:
- Charging does not do anything.
- Cannot boot into recovery
- Cannot be detected by MTK Droid Tools (but I think this app needs a powered up phone to be detected by its system)
- Cannot flash anything using SPFT v3.1320.0.174 and v5.1524.00
I have searched the internet for fixes and solutions but, everything that I have found leads to that error.
Here was what I had done before the problem arose.
- Installed Preloader driver
- Used the latest version of SPFT
- Formatted whole flash except bootloader as I cannot flash the cwm rom found here without formatting
- Flashed ONLY the recovery and then downloaded it.
Green circle appears and after that, it cannot boot anymore. Cannot charge. Cannot boot into recovery.
I have tried the following with no luck:
- Used SPFT v5.1524.00 and v3.1320.0.174
- Flashing only the preloader
- Flashing only the recovery
- Format whole flash
- Formatting whole flash except bootloader
- Format all + download (v5)
- Firmware upgrade + upgrade (v3)
- Using the write memory method for writing preloader
- Flashing stock preloader
- Doing a memory test
All of which goes to the error 4032.
I have also tried using different USB ports with the same results.
If it helps, I used the scatter file for MT6589 and not my own scatter file. Using my own scatter file does not do anything before I flashed the recovery rom so, I used the MT6589 scatter file instead. Also, my scatter file was different from the MT6589.
- This was the scatter file I used.
- And this is my log from MTK Droid Tools which hopefully contains the addresses for the scatter file (I accidentally replaced my own [yea i know, stupid me])
I also cannot find the same scatter file that I had created anywhere on the internet.
I am willing to supply you with anything as long as I have access to it (hoping I have the file/information you need:fingers-crossed.
I am hoping that you know or at least the very least, can guide me out of mine and others misery. Thank you. :fingers-crossed:
My phone xtouch PF73 gives me this message "decrypt error, boot failed" after i tried flashing it.
I have tried two more ROMS but with those i get the "S_NOT_ENOUGH_STORAGE(1011) error message in both SP Flash tool and WiseLink Tool"
Android version: 4.22
MTK platform : MT6572
I used
SP Flash Tool v5.1352.01
SP Flash Tool v5.1628
wise tool v4.6.0.44
How can i fix it?

Reason:
The firmware(s) you are trying to flash to your MTK device is larger than the available space allocated for the firmware in the phone’s storage space.
Possible fix ( was not tested by me ):
Click on the Format Tab
Select/tick Format whole Flash and click the Start button before connecting your device.
Once the formatting is done, go to the Download Tab and select just the Preloader file first and flash it.
After the preloader.bin has been successfully flashed to your device, tick the rest of the firmware files and flash as well.
I flashed a wrong TWRP recovery on my Nokia 1 (a one from a Huawei P10 Lite). After that, i rebooted reinserting the battery, it showed android logo + "orange state", 10secs of blackscreen, and bootloop "forever".
I tried to get into bootloader mode via adb at reset
Code:
fastboot reboot bootloader
, but it doesn't work ("waiting for any devices"). Note that i flashed the wrong recovery successfully via adb, and previously i had a correct recovery flashed with adb too.
Flashing the TA 1056 stock rom via OST didn't work either; OST doesn't detect the phone (probably because i can't get into bootloader mode).
I tried with SP Flash Tool too, flashing the TA 1056 MT6737M firmware, but CHIP TYPE NOT match, scatterChipType 143, targetChipType 160. In the scatter file (i don't know why), i changed "platform: MT6752" to "platform MT6737M" and holding down both volume buttons till the end, i could flash the complete firmware.
Then, i reset reinserting the battery and obtain the ethernal bootloop with a blackscreen; the phone vibrates every 10secs until i remove the battery (no logos show up).
I can't do anymore; i can reflash with SP Flash Tool, but it's the same.
Please, help me
*PD: i flashed via SP Flash Tool with "Format All + Download" option; can it be a problem?
Man... I am right now where you were.
Same error. Did you find any way out?
*sigh*
Hey OP, you still looking to troubleshoot? I might be able to help
Hello, I have Huawei MRD-AL00. I tried various combinations available online to rebrand this board to Y6 2019 none of them work.
Few methods are available, sdcard (dload folder, update.zip etc.) and using SP Flash Tool. Volume up + down and power returns update failed no matter what I tried with SD-card.
SP Flash tool sees phone but never tries to flash it after I put it in Download mode (vol down + usb connected).
Can someone please post quide how to, step by step please? For SP Flash, is test point needed to start the flash?
Update: I was able to flash it with test point, but now phone is bricked. It says download complete but it's yellow color. When connected to flash tool, flash tool sees the phone but when tries to flash, it lasts for like 1min flashing procedure formating, flashing and no boot.
I tried with this Y6 Flash file
