Background: I flashed my tablet with a wrong ROM.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This what happens to my tablet when I boot it up:
Without USB and DC connected:
Booting normally: Tap power, logo appears and disappears, 1-2 seconds later the tablet shuts off
Booting to recovery mode: hold power + vol down, logo appears, logo disappears and shuts off.
With USB connected:
Booting normally: Same as above
Booting to recovery mode: hold power+VolUp, logo appears and disappears, Android system recovery utility v1.3.38 is up.
Note* I can use volume controllers to scroll the list however I cannot click on any of them. Tapping power doesn't work nor any other button on the tablet.
With USB and DC connected:
Booting normally: It boots into the ROM, but I cannot click anything. There's no response from touch nor any other button (only power that will turn on screen after it dims)
Booting to recovery mode: Same as above
Booting into download/flash mode: I hold Reset+VolUp+Power and it will show black screen. In the PC, it says 'unrecognized or malfunctioned USB'.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have Windows 7 64bit with Android SDK installed. I have the official USB drivers and FlashMode drivers, neither of them gets accepted when I try to install the driver.
I also got Ubuntu and here are the logs I was able to come up with:
Booted into the ****ty ROM and then I plug in USB: http://pastebin.com/vnc2q5nU
I plug in USB+DC and boot into flash mode: http://pastebin.com/qa2URP9c
Hi,
I'm new here.
I have an issue. My Android phone is bricked. It is an MT6515 phone; model i9270+ (Chinese dual SIM phone).
I had trouble rooting it, so I was half way there following steps in THIS thread.
To see more specs. about this phone check HERE (chrome tells me that this site has malware, but I ignored it...)
On to the issue...
I accidentally flashed my phone with the wrong boot image from fast boot ("fastboot flash boot boot.img"). I had a clockwork mod backup copy of my own boot.img, so I just wanted to reflash it. Fastboot said that the flash failed.
I tried again, and then in the middle of the process my command prompt stalled. Phone was in flashing process for about an hour, so I hit Ctrl+C to stop it... I wanted to do a recovery from the phone itself using clockwork recovery...
When I wanted to boot my phone there was no screen light. The phone just vibrates twice and that's all.
PC won't recognize it, so I can't go back to fastboot mode. Key combination (vol up + power) won't bring fastboot mode...
This phone seems completely bricked...
Is there anything I can do to "revive" it?
I googled my issue, but I couldn't find anything useful. All simple solutions like getting the battery out for an hour, holding some weird key combinations, plugging it in USB on a different port, and such didn't get me any results...
Can anyone help me, please?
Thanks in advance!
More info...
Ok, I've just tested few more things:
When just holding a power button - phone vibrates once, and second time about 4 seconds after
When the battery is out and the phone is on USB - it does nothing
When the battery is in and I plug the USB (without pressing power) - it vibrates once, and second time about 1 second after
When holding Vol Up + Power (on this phone this is entering to fastboot) - does nothing
When holding Vol Up and plugging USB - PC recognized it as "SCI USB2Serial (COM10)" device, and the driver installation failed.
Before I typed this whole post PC recognized my phone as "unknown device", and the driver installation also failed.
Commant "adb devices" or "fastboot devices" does not recognize the phone while being plugged on USB.
When I plug it on electrical charger it vibrates twice just like pressing the power button.
Programs like "MTK Droid Root & Tools" do not recognize it...
Can anyone help me?
How to input in a new software? I have Boot.img, System.img and Recovery.img ...

I sold my phone... Some dude needed speakers, display and touch digitizer, so I this phone was of some good use for him
Hello XDA Community,
Sorry I didn't know where to post this...
Two weeks ago I purchased a Lenovo S8-50LC Tablet. It was working fine until last night, I was watching movies on Youtube and chatting with some friends. Then I went to bed and there was still around 50% charge in the battery.
When I woke up, I tired to wake up the device but it didn't respond. I thought it was stuck or something, so I tired to hold the power button for 20 seconds to do a hard reset but still didn't work. After that I plugged it in to a power source with the compatible charger that came with it and the screen light up with no data on it. I tried to power it on then and it showed the Lenovo logo and in a very tiny font underneath the logo it said "Boot Fail, Efi hard drive".
Then it would take me to a screen which says:
"EFI Shell version 2.31 [1.0]
Current running mode 1.1.2
map: Cannot find required map name.
Press ESC in 5 seconds to skip startup.nsh, any other key to continue.
Shell>_"
http://imageshack.com/a/img907/6979/reZJPf.jpg
and that's it!
I don't understand why this screen appears. I mean the tablet was working properly over the night and it had no issues whatsoever, but now it doesn't boot!
Then I tried to power it off and press Volume UP + Volume DOWN + Power Button, it showed a black screen with only one line: "FastBoot Starting...Can't get eMMC Info, revert to default value!"
http://imageshack.com/a/img661/1158/bRg9jj.jpg
That's all what I got...
PS:
1- The tablet does all that only when it's plugged to a power source, but when it's not plugged, it doesn't show anything.
2- When I plug it into the pc via USB, the pc doesn't recognize it.
3- I tried to boot into fastboot mode or recovery mode but it doesn't work either.
Please help me fix my tablet and I hope it's going to be soon. Thank you all in advance!
UPDATE:
1- I left it on the charger for maybe 2 hours and now it's turning on without being plugged in to a power source.
2- When I press Volume UP + Volume DOWN + Power Button, it shows the previous mentioned phrase, but now when I connect it to the pc via USB, windows recognizes it as Lenovo Composite ADB Interface under Android Phone
http://imageshack.com/a/img903/3907/oQdSAB.png
3- Tried to perform some fastboot commands like flash, format and erase, it always fails with the error:
Failed (remote: unknown command)
UPDATE2:
1- When executing ADB commands like adb devices it says "no devices found"
anyone?
Hello. A friend of mine has the same problem. He dropped the device and the screen cracked. After a reboot the tablet is on the same situation. I plugged a keyboard via otg , it stops the countdown in the EFI SHELL, but i can not type anything. I think is an eMMC related problem.
I guess the eMMC is totally fried or something. But, I mean, I didn't leave it on the charger all night or anything, why would it do such a thing!
any solutions or suggestions??

Thank you for your reply but it doesn't work .. as I mentioned earlier I don't have a "download mode" because any key combination I try to use just sends me to the shell window .. anymore suggestions would be appreciated!
-unplug usb cable
-turn off
-hold (volum+) and (volume -) towice
-press power button
It should go to fastboot quickly (a black screen with a little text)
Basically after using adb reboot bootloader my tablet rebooted and got stuck on the logo. I have tried to
access the recovery mode by turning it on, while holding the up and down volume buttons, but nothing happens.
Moreoever, whenever I connect it to my computer, windows recognise it as USB Developer.
Any ideas on what to do?
Ok, it seems that if you leave it to fully discharge its battery, the bootloader command gets reset and its loads just fine.
Gonna mark this as solved
Hi!
M4 Aqua, E2303
Brief history, what I did before:
- On a full stock OS, first, I unlocked bootloader with fastboot oem unlock, which went through nicely.
- After that, I followed this thread to install custom recovery (twrp). Went through nicely (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and fastboot flash boot boot.img).
- I was able to boot into recovery (twrp), and with the Install function, selecting Conceptify .zip it installed, rebooted.
- On the boot, the Conceptify gear logo was stuck spinning for a very long time. Then I just tried going into TWRP again to install Conceptify again, maybe for the second try it installs without the boot issue.
After this, I was no longer able to enter twrp recovery again. Okay, tried to flash the .img's again (boot and recovery), maybe I can at least get into TWRP recovery again, but no luck, despite both flash commands going through (both sending, writing were OKAY), without errors.
Current symptoms at this point:
- I still can get into fastboot (vol Up + usb plug in; LED red, then blue), and my PC can recognize the phone being in fastboot correctly, with serial number (in fastboot devices). It can still perform the flash/erase commands, but whenever I try fastboot reboot or fastboot reboot-bootloader, it doesn't reboot the phone. At this point, fastboot devices gives back a device in fastboot mode, but with a lot of question marks (?) instead of the serial number. On unplugging it, LED stays blue, like it is frozen or somthing. I kill the phone off with the power cutoff switch (next to microsd).
- holding just Power to turn on phone: Sony logo on the white background and is stuck. After a while I kill off with power cutoff.
- holding Power + vol Up, it vibrates once every 2 seconds or so. Nothing on screen, when I stop holding the buttons, stop vibrating. It however stays in a weird state, cause I can't get into fastboot for example (vol down + usb plug in; like I can do when it was powered off completely). I kill off with power cutoff.
- holding Power + vol Down: Sony logo on the white bkg, and stuck. After a while I kill off with power cutoff.
- tried the all-button hold: Power + vol Down + vol Up for 30 seconds, it was just vibrating every 2-seconds.
- flashmode with Flashtool: I downloaded a stock .ftf, loaded into FlashTool, but upon asking to connect the phone while holding vol Down, it can't detect it. The phone however lights red, then green on the LED light. Tried with both a new Flashtool (0.9.32.0, and a recommended older one as well: 0.9.18.6).
Is there something else I could try to get a working TWRP recovery again, and be able to boot into it?
Thanks for your help!
My M4 (E2312) have pretty much the same symptoms: can not boot anything and just stuck on SONY logo, Flashtool does not recognize phone in flashmode (Vol -), just fastboot. And using fastboot to flash system, boot, recovery shows finished processes but phone does nothing new. And phone does not response well to USB, only after a reset then it updates the status.
I have Pexo ROM v3, custom TWRP, SkyMelon 9 I think,Rooted SuperSU and Magisk( has conflicts so when I boot some pop up says X app has stopped working. When I install some more apps to use it was ok, then the pop ups show up more and more and then it decides to boot loop to the stage we are now.
I have tried install 0.9.33 and 0.9.23.1( somehow only 0.9.23.1 can install 3 drivers), Xperia Companion, Emma, ggsetup 3.2.0.1, Driver SONY so0104 (so0113 ADB interface- status show it cannot start),
So either it is the drivers on computer, the computer USB ports, the phone's software or hardware defects lead to software that caused it.

Yes, I also tried installing conceptify but it doesnt work. At this point its better if you stick with the stock rom, remove as much bloatware as possible and consider it a phone because almost none of the ROMs here work stability wise, or they maybe stable but some features like display brightness or speakers dont work. So I recommend you install stock rom via flashtool and then unlock the bootloader via flashtool again and install twrp again. Also if possible try reinstalling the drivers for the phone in flashtool. Hope this works mate.

Thanks for your answer!
Unfortunately, I still can't make Flashtool recognize my M4 as booted in flashmode. Tried installing the drivers with \Flashtool\drivers\Flashtool-drivers.exe , but choosing the "Flashmode drivers" option, it failed during the install (I guess cause there wasnt a connected device that supports it), tried both with phone being connected in flashmode (volDown + plug-inUSB), and phone disconnected as well.
