Wiko rainbow 4G not starting; bootloop/softbrick, cannot install new software. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I have a problem with my wiko rainbow 4G, it's soft-bricked.
This happend while i was trying to update the software (normal notification, official update). It just rebooted into recovery.
I'm stuck there now and tried several thing like: adb side-load (transfers files, but always returns: intallation aborted, Updating from sd card (same error), factory reset and clear cache did nothing.
While in recovery my phone only shows up as an sideload adb device (in adb interface). I don't know how to get into fastboot to install custom recovery either, tried both power + up and/or down volume buttons.
Also most guides ask me to use a flash tool, but these don't do anything. The official software doesn't detect the phone (neither in normal, sideload or recovery state.
I am left clueless, please help
Thanks

[Q] Stuck in whitescreen after boot / No ADB connection

Please HELP!
Yesterday I flashed my Odys Xelio (Allwinner A10) with CWM. After booting in a working state, I restarted in Recovery too full whipe and whipe dalvik, I installed gapps ans the compatibility.zip also from CWM.
After that I got stuck in a whitescreen. I can not access anything, not even CWM recovery anymore. In win 8 I only could see 1 to 2 undefined devices (should be a problem with the device AND a driver issue).
In Linux I could see a device in adb yesterday and could put it into "adb reboot recovery". Still whitescreen on the tablet, but I could push a recovery file with adb to the /sdcard/. Rebooting didn't bring me to another state.
Today I am not able to connect via adb. It always tells me "List of devices attached" and an empty list.
Display should be okay, no cable issue or sth. else. I really hope someone can help. Perhaps theres a way to JTAG the devices or there is a trick with pressing some buttons and using the USB cable...
BTW: While booting into CarbonRom the first time, the button-behaviour was strange or even totally not working. Perhaps that's a point?
THX in advance
EDIT: Now, after playing around with a needle into a "reset-hole" I finally found a way to see the device in adb. How do I go on!?

[Q] Can't flash, can't get into bootloader...

Hello, I'm a little bit new to all this, so any help and detailed instructions are very very helpfull.
So I have Gigabyte GSmart Aku A1 device (MediaTek 6589), I don't know if it's bricked or what but apparently is not working quite well.
When I turn on my phone, it just loads and loads and loads and nothing happens (waited for about 4-5 hours), that was starting to happen after I somehow installed CWM on my device with some tutorial, CWM worked for the first time and after next reboot, it disappeared and stock recovery came back (and the problem with infinite loading screen - only showing logo).
I have ADB drivers installed, SDK aswell, tried to put stock firmware (got it from official site) and in like 1/4 of installation it says:
Code:
symlink: some symlinks failed
After that, I tried to install few versions that I downloaded from that official site, but same error again and again. (I tried to install with SD card and with ADB too. ADB is only working when I go to "apply update from ADB" in recovery. I have also used 2 different types of SD cards.)
That didn't worked either, so I got to some russian forum, and using google translator I downloaded 5-6 types of custom ROM's / Firmwares. That didn't worked either, one time when installing one of those ROM's - it said something about signature..
After that I was trying to install those ROM's with ADB and with SD Cards aswell, but turns out that every single time I get error saying: "Installation aborted.".
I have ofcourse tried to wipe data/factory and to wipe cache too, but nothing helps..
Also, when I'm in ADB console, when I type any command besides adb sideload or adb devices, I get error saying: "error: closed". I cant get into fastboot with adb console.
I really don't know what to do anymore, so any help would be very very appreciated. Thank you for your help in advance, if you need any videos, pictures or something, just tell me.
Edit: When I go to "wipe data/factory reset" in recovery, it says: "Mount /data error.".

i would look for stock rom in form of full mtkdroidtools backup and preloader drivers for your mtk chipset
and flash it using flashtool (it uses preloader[you can determine if it's available/undamaged by turning phone off and opening device manager on pc and plugging phone to pc if there will be a flash in device manager before the charging starts it will flash ])

[Q] Interrupted flashing process

Hello friends,
I was using a General Mobile etab4 tablet,
rooted,
bootloader locked,
not backed up, i tried but apps wont recognize the brand,
the stock rom is not available anywhere but I managed to find some custom ones.
This tablet is actually a given by government for educational purposes, and it has no download mode, I can only initiate recovery mode with volume up+power button combo, and there is no sd card in it.
Here is what happened. It was running with problems so I decided to flash a custom rom I find on this forum. First I tried flashing using adb sideload. I got an error message "Installation aborted" with no error codes after verification step but it does not state whether verification is failed or not. I don't know what actually failed. Then I tried to flash it using adb shell as root (the system image was in /sdcard directory). It freezed, I exit the shell using Ctrl+C command. Then whenever I try to start shell i got "error:closed" message. I see my device with adb devices with sideload, but it is not seen in fastboot devices.
When I try to open it, I guess it enters in a small boot loop (screen flickers multiple times with brand name on it) and after some time I got dead android with no command written.
I tried,
reflashing it again with Android AIO Flasher,
use fastboot to unlock bootlader (it says "waiting for device") although adb devices sees it,
re-installing the adb drivers after uninstalling them,
disassembling the device to see if I can detach memory to edit it and to see if disconnecting the battery helps,
I even used a simple jig to see if i can initiate download mode (know it works for specific devices but you know hope)
Apparently, I messed up the device but the hardware must be all fine. So I think there must be a way out. What can you suggest, I wish I have unlocked the bootloader. I can send the pictures of its motheboard it helps,
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Zenfone 2 Bricked or Stuck at fastboot need FIX ASAP

So, i have root my phone, i directly deleted most of asus's bloatwares. Few days after that, the google search app started to force stop, with that i just tried to restart my phone. Amazingly, it cant start, i was stuck at a dead android logo, and it said error. I went to recovery, and unaccidentally pressed the clear cache. After it reboots, still no changes, i went to recovey, i cant(i know how to enter recovery), I CANT ENTER RECOVERY ANYMORE.

2.error>reboot
3.clear cache
4.enter recovery again>failed
5.try using adb, device failed to be detected.
In this state. I cant progress. HELP

Uninstalled OS and only TWRP left? Help please!

[At first, I have a Huawei p9 Lite] I recently was stuck in reboot mode, my phone would not boot up anymore and just keep rebooting so I went into twrp and did a factory reset without having a backup because I did not have any important files on my mobile. I then still could not boot up so I accidently wiped the whole cache and deleted my OS, so now my phone won't even boot anymore and it's stuck in the "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted" screen. How do I make my phone work again? I don't know anything about how to download stuff on my phone when I only have twrp left so I can install it with twrp and then boot again.
EDIT adb push doesn't work either and I can't wipe because it always gives me a red error line in twrp "Failed to mount '/cache' (opperation not supported on transport endpoint)

OK so, whenever I try to adb sideload a rom from my pc to my mobile and I go to adb sideload in twrp and swipe it disconnects from my pc and I hear a de de de sounds
That device has an sdcard slot, so just move your desired rom over to that and flash it.
Also, may I ask what rom you had? Lineage os is available for your device (not sure, but if someone compiled twrp, sources are available which means that you can compile it for your device)
