Brick'ed E5 FHD - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all!
Today i was updating my room and... (fml) pc rebooted or crashed. Anyhow I'm stuck with a pretty brick. Phone is BQ Aquaris E5 FHD (although I',m open to try any other program/driver/rom that can revive it)
I tried flashing it again but it doesn't do anything. Phone get recognized by windows though (as I connect, it install the Mediatek driver) but the Smart Phone Flash Tool cant start any process. Any ideas that can bring the phone back? I have limited knowledge on phones but not on computers, if there's any linux distribution, SDK android, anything... make me know and I'lll try.
I've tried pressing buttons in all forms/variations. I think i need a program that can hard flash the phone.
Thanks in advance!

opens the phone disconnects the battery, reconnects it, flashes the firmware, and then installs the rom.

[Q] H920+ Seems Dead but Detected by Windows

Hello to all community,
strange things happened here... I use a Star H920+ phone. I had some problems with Bluetooth and Wifi, so i decided to flash rom again. I downloaded the rom from needrom dot com. (As new user, i cannot post the full url yet)
I used Smart Flash Tools to do the job. Firstly i had some difficulties getting some errors. After some search, i used MtkDroidTools and i got the right sizes for memory and write them at scatter file. The procedure went well and i got a green circle at Flash Tool.
And that's it...
After that, i get the absolute Black. But... the strange thing is that the Windows detects the phone. I tried every combination to get into recovery mode, but nothing. Only black screen.
I tried Flash Tools again to flash it with the same or an older rom, but after the some seconds, the application is not responding and Windows says that the Smart Flash Tools application has stopped responding and must be closed.
MtkDroidTools doesn't recognized the phone now.
But, as i have it connected with the pc, the sound of plug and unplug a device is heared all the time. ( Maybe it is rebooting continuously )
I hope that the hoping thing is that Windows detects the phone, but i cannot do anything more...
Do you have any idea to propose me ?
Thank you very much,
Periklis

And select Firmware -> upgrade

Tablet stuck on EFI Shell. USB ports disabled.

Hello. I'll try to explain my problem because I really need some help.
A few days ago, I was normally using my Tablet ECS TR10RS1 Intel®.... I turned it off, went to sleep and the next day when I was going to use it again, the OS didn't start, so I tried and tried until I found a forum where they led me to restore a backup file because the original firmware/rom wasn't still available.... publicly. I tried that, but in the process, I accessed the EFI Shell... That wasn't trouble at all, I just plugged the keyboard and typed "exit", and then it let me to the BIOS... And that's when my real problem began: I restored the factory setting default... and it involves "disabling USB ports".... Now, AGAIN, I'm stuck on EFI Shell. But this time, I can not type "exit" since the keyboard is not recognized by the Tablet.
Then I pressed Vol UP + Power ON and I get access to another menu "DNX".... And that's what brings me here to your forum:
I was briefly reading that one of your members managed to flash the BIOS via DNX, so I was wondering if you guys could help me do that to my tablet because I'm not planning to have a really expensive paper holder.
Thanks in advance.
Jinky.
Not sure about your case. But as your tablet use clovertrail chip like my zenfone 5 n fonepad7 170CG, then there's some methods to unbrick like via fastboot, flashtool, or intel factory flash tool... all of above are required a valid firmware, at least a IFWI package then intel FFT can unbrick anyway. So try to find your need, as i tried to help u to find it, but most of webpages use spanish, then i didn't understand anything

Oukitel K6000 Pro HELP wont load after flash

Right peeps, Having a bit of trouble here. I bought the Oukitel K6000 Pro and it came installed with a trojan virus, which i believe is pretty normal for a lot of chinese phones these days anyway. I contacted the company I bought it from and they gave me full instructions to flash the phone.
I have flashed the phone using Sp Flash tools (on both Linux and windows 7) but the phone will now not work! I have installed all the drivers needed (which is so much handier in Linux). After flashing it said download ok. I tried to turn the phone on but only the screen lights up but does nothing at all and also booting to recovery shows nothing either.
It can still be recognised by the computer and sp flash tools but nothing seems to work! Your Help would be much appreciated if there is anyway to fix it! I have sp flash tools V5.1520.00 on Linux and the ROM I am using to flash is Oukitel K6000pro V8.0_20160607 6.0 Marshmallow from needrom. Sorry if this is in the wrong section or not allowed Also Hello as I am new here
Hi! Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/gen.../oukitel-battery-beasts-k6000-k10000-t3279075
Tried to flash the phone, but firmware was wrong, so now it's dead
Hi,
I am enthousiastic about the Oukitel k6000 pro. It works wonderful and is pretty rugged and very cheap. Paid €165. It is my first android, so need a lot of catching up to do...
There is a security system in place by Oukitel by which you can remotely wipe the data or send your forgotten password by sending a text message #mime# for example. But, when my wife changed her simcard, without unlocking the security, the phone went in lock mode. So fare so good. So now we send it a SMS. But, the SMS never gets to the phone. It cannot be delivered. So the phone was well locked. :crying:
Then we thought, by information of GeekBuying, that you can flash the phone. Well, that did not work so well either. It got flashed alright. After I found out you need to get in the reception mode first. Now the computer recognized the phone. But then the error firmware is wrong came up and now the phone is dead. A perfect hardly used phone is dead.
Is there somewhere software to flash it again and get it going? I have a windows XP, X or mac computer.
At least it is a relatively cheap phone to learn everything. Who knows what we will be doing with in a few years. With less computerpower they went to the moon.
Kind regards,
Frank

Need help with Qualcomm based device MSM 8625 [double-bricked] + total noob!

Dear nice guys of xdadevs,
This is the first time I'm posting and I'd like to request some help from any experts with qualcomm devices.
So the story's like this:
1. I purchased a crappy cheap knock-off local android called Zyrex Onescribe ZA957 (made in Indonesia), it shares similarities with ZTE models like the Zte Blade.
The reason why it was crappy is because it's super slow and it had Android 4.0 ICS installed. Also, whenever I try to shutdown or restart the phone, it would say "Shutting down TABLET". So I immediately knew that it came with a Tablet ROM! This was before I rooted it.
2. It only had like 456mb ram, so I installed Kingroot and successfully got it rooted
3. I then deleted the bloatware with the system uninstaller app downloaded from playstore
4. After a while, the phone just became slower and slower like it was always running out of ram. The boot loading process also took longer and longer as the days progressed, until one time, it just got stuck on the boot logo (bootloop?)
5. So I couldn't figure out what was going on and eventually the phone just decided to stop booting at all, except for making vibrations but no lights or anything else and I couldn't even get to recovery mode by pressing power/vol+ etc.
6. Then I followed instructions to reflash a stock rom and the phone was detected as MSM 9008 or 9006 or something like that. I forgot what program I used to reflash it, but I think I followed the instructions from a website in Indonesian for "tutorial unbrick andromax u".
I also installed the stock rom for that CDMA based phone because it had very similar specs to mine GSM/CDMA dual sim, qualcomm MSM8625 etc.
I knew I had "soft bricked" it at first, but the second time, bang! I've double bricked it and now it's truely bricked! Darnit!
If I try to connect to PC via usb, it's a constant game of cat and mouse where sometimes the PC would detect the phone as "Qualcomm MSM CMDA Technologies" for about 2 seconds, then it disconnects/disappears. Sometimes (after a whole lot of pluggin' & unpluggin', it would stay on the Qualcomm MSM CDMA Technologies as detected in device manager, but listed as "Unknown".
I've installed the drivers for qualcomm BEFORE I attempted to reflash so I know it worked in the past. I've removed the drivers and have reinstalled them, but I still can't get my phone into the 9008/6 mode anymore.
Basically, I want to try reflashing again but I don't know where to go and what to do from here, so any expert help would be strongly appreciated!
Many thanks to the good folks here!
Cheers.

Bricked or not bricked

Hi,
I bricked my phone, a SHARP Aquos C10.
After unlocking the bootloader I was able to install several rom. The last one was LineageOS 18.
I bricked the phone when I tried to replace LineageOS Recovery with TWRP by dint of trying.
The phone is not completely blocked. It gets stuck for a long time on the "battery" logo which replaced the "Sharp" logo when the unlocked it. After several minutes, it vibrates and restarts.
I can restart it by long pressing the OFF button, I can't turn it off, I can't put it in recovery mode.
I can just put it in download mode but unfortunately it is no longer recognized by the PC.
So, bricked or not bricked.
Thank you for your help.
Nobody can help me ?
Hallo,
if you still can go to the download mode, maybe not all hope is lost. Your phone might not have
a hard brick, but only a soft brick. Everything should be fine as long the download mode isn't bricked too.
I had a similar problem once with a tablet after flashing it.
You need to install the USB-Drivers for your device on your PC and then reconnect it.
This might sound ridicolous if you already have installed them, but sometimes
a deinstallation of the USB-drivers and reinstallation of the drivers might help.
I found the following site for the drivers:
"https://gsmusbdriver.com/sharp-aquos-c10".
If you prefer an official source, you can use: "http://www.sharpusa.com/Home/CustomerSupport/SharpCareCenter/MobileSupport/ADBDriver.aspx"
However both sources seem to look reliable for me, even if I can't test it, without having a SHARP device.
If you are not sure, you might compare it with other tutorials and look for reviews.
Installing the drivers can't lead to harm to your device until you don't connect it.
Things can't really get worse if you install the drivers. The only thing that could happen is, that either the PC will say that it recognizes the device or that no device can be recognized, so it's worth a try. Please report me, if it worked for you and you are able to flash again. I hope this will help.
With kind regards

Hello,
Thank you very much for your help.
Yes, I installed the USB drivers. I unlocked the phone for you I installed another rom.
I reinstalled the drivers following your links. Unfortunately that does not change anything. The phone is not recognized. No sound comes out of the computer when I connect the USB cable.
I tried on 2 computers, 1 on Windows 10 and in Windows 10 / Xubuntu dualboot.
When the battery is empty and I try to turn it on, a red battery will light up and flash. As I charge it, the battery changes color to green.
I don't have download mode if the cable is not plugged into the computer or the charger.
:/
Hallo,
the download mode is supposed to be only able to get started if you connect the device to the computer or another device, this is not strange. You need to go to the download mode and try to flash the stock firmware for you device. Try it at first without a device recognition of your PC and find out, if you need to do a hard reset before, to regain factory settings. I have listed, in color, a short number of things you could do now. If this still doesn't work only the SHARP team or a specialized company might help.
What you could do, is to ask the SHARP support for a source for the USB drivers and how to do a hard reset to regain the factory settings. I don't know which flashing tool you use for you device.
Normally if your device is not recognized by plugging it in to the PC-USB-Port the flashing tool shouldn't recognize it either, but it might be just an error of Windows, and the flashing tool is not allways depentent to the USB-drivers, but relies only on the question if you can go to the download mode, so you could give it a try to flash even in this case. Start the flashing software and look what will happen.
You said, that you have successfully flashed until now, which means that the flashing tool supports you device. If you can't flash now anymore, you might also not make a backup, which would be important, because the only things you could try now, is to find the stock firmware and flashing it.
If you haven't installed any important data on your system after flashing LineageOS or if you already made backups of your applications in a cloud or another drive you need not to care. It is possible that you will need to do a hard reset before. You can find on hardreset.info, in the section "All devices", how to do it or ask the SHARP support. If you fear you have still important data on your phone a backup is normally recommended.
Because flashing a ROM not only wipes your data, but removes the guarantee, the result is: Restoring the phone to a usable device by any helping team of SHARP's customer care service in you city, even if you have any service buildings, might be expensive in this case. To go around high prices you would need too look around also for other data restoring companies or specialists, if nothing works.
But at first, if you are able to do it; I would recommend to do a hard reset of your device, which should restore it to factory setting, which should make the drivers work.
Even if they don't work, ask SHARP for actualized USB-drivers. Try flashing also with and without working USB drivers, and find SHARP's stock firmware for you device first, which is a "must do", if you want to have access to the original recovery mode again. Flash this stock firmware after you have done a hard reset. After flashing the stock firmware you should be able to go to the custom recovery mode again, if not, only a specialized company or a help team of SHARP's customer service might help.
Hello,
The adb and fastboot commands wait for the device to connect.
SHARP support is not responding.
Hello, did you try "https://getsupport.sharpusa.com/Contact-Us/Product-Support"?
Because of the actual situation with the Virus, they might need longer to answer, so you need to be patient. As I see you already tried to connect your device after the use of CMD.exe. Installing the drivers with CMD and checking the Windows Hardware Manager if the Installation worked correctly is one way to do a driver install. I am sorry if this didn't work for you. If it does not, only a specailized soft- and hardware team can help, which could get expansive, but maybe not as much as buying a new device, so I hope for you Sharp will answer and give a correct Installation guide and that it will fit to solve your problem. I wish you good luck and that you don't need any other company than Sharp to help. I know that nobody is amused if all help and waiting does not help, after bricking bis device, but unfortunately I can't do more for you. I wish you success and keep your device in a safe place just for the case.
