[Q] Some help needed with flashing an S4 clone mt-6572 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I have a phone that looks like a Samsung S4, but is in fact a Mediatek MT-6572.
As the installed software did not allow me to open lots of apps, I decided to give rooting and reflashing a go.
I managed to root the device, had super SU installed and then tried to find a ROM that worked.
In that process I managed to (accidentally) format the bootloader.
At present the phone is only being recognised by SP Flashtool (as an MT-6572).
I can do a format, no problem.
I can start the flashing, but always get some sort of error.
At first it was the NAND vs Emmc error, so I tried to find a working NAND ROM.
The ones I did find on the net also resulted in some sort of error.
I had both a BROM error and the "PMT changed for the ROM" error.
I have been using the SP flashtool 5.1628.
Any suggestions anyone?

[Q] THL W8 Bricked?

Hi all,
please help me out because I'm desperate.
Yesterday I received a THL W8 mobile phone and I flashed it with the ROM reported on this thread.
Once done, my SD card wasn't recognized by the phone, so I decided to flash the same ROM again.
Unluckily, my bad, I didn't uncheck the PreLoader tick and as result now the phone doesn't boot at all.
The PC recognizes it and the drivers are ok, but when I try to flash a ROM, any ROM, I get different errors.
With SP Flash Tools version "SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1304.0.119" the bottom bar fills red fully (100%) but after about 40 seconds it gives me the following error:
S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032)
With the SP Flash tools version "AntiBrick_Flash_Tool_v3.1224.0.sn85" 3 seconds after the bottom bar gets filled in red, the following error is returned:
SP FLASH TOOL ERROR: (8200)
[Platform Error] The load and target are inconsistent!
I've also tried to flash the stock ROM but with the same bad results. More, I tried to do a reset with both the aforementioned Flash tools versions with success, but after that whenever I try to flash the phone with any ROM, I get the same errors as before.
Since the PC recognizes the phone I'm kinda sure it can be restored, but apart what I tried already, I'm out of ideas.
Any help is welcome
Thank you guys
Cheers
Heide
really? no one really answered the poor guy, the phone ended up bricked for good after all

How to get scatter files?

Alright, I own a TCT Alcatel One Touch 918/Alcatel OT-918/T-Mobile Move 2 android device. Now, I have rooted it before, after a while it went into the startup loop, I sent it to repair, and now apparently they upgraded software and it's working fine, however when I try to use scatter.txt and recovery.img that I used before to root it with FlashTool, I get an error "Can not find USB port...", now, I am trying to find a specific scatter for my phone, I have all the drivers installed, although when I tried to install with alternative methods I get "Device tree not found" error, anyway, I need a scatter file, so could someone provide me with ways of getting them for a certain device, please?
Thanks!

[Q] Flashing MTK Device with SP Flash Tool

I have a full backup of my phone that I have made with MTK Droid Tools, but when restoring it (to revert the update my provider made), it stopped somewhere in the middle of the operation with some memory error. Now my phone won't boot up, but is luckily still recognized as Mediatek USB Port by SP Flash Tools, so I can still (probably) flash it.
The thing is, I always get BROM ERROR: S_NOT_ENOUGH_STORAGE_SPACE (1011), and now I don't know what to do.
Any suggestions are welcome.
The phone in question is Alcatel Idol Mini (OT-6012X), so if anyone has other files for that phone I can try, or any experience flashing it, it would be of great help.
Thanks in advance!

[Q] Lenovo S960 Dead / Hard Bricked

Hello,
I have an Lenovo S960, which is an MTK 6589 Device.
Coming to the Point, Yesterday I my little sis didn't know what did, Phone Got Soft Brick.
Ohk, I tried to Re-Flash the ROM with SP Flash Tool Ver 3.1xx But somehow it got stuck on 18% and got error of brom error s_da_sdmmc_write_failed (3149).
When i tried to Format+All Download with the latest version of SP Flash Tool, it keep saying "Unrecognized Rom Detected".
Now, I tried Flashing the same ROM with different Versions of SP Flash Tool, and Got several Errors. amongst which one error really horrified me, i didn't remember exactly what was that, but it was something like No Valid partition Management Table.
After some research i found that the rom can be Flashed via MTK DROID TOOLS Onlyy, but for which i need Back Up of the Rom, which i didn't have.
The point is:
1) Is there any way to Flash the Rom with SP Flashtool bypassing these errors.
2) I would be very thank ful if any one can provide me the Back Up Rom for Lenovo Vibe X S960.
One more thing, This is my Fiance's Phone, and she's about to kill me if i didn't Give her phone on Sunday..
Please Help me..

I wondered if someone could try to help me? :)

Hello guys! I have a problem with one phone that i am trying to fix for someone and I feel sooo, sooo completely lost in all of this as I know almost nothing about this. The cell phone model that is in question is Alcatel One Touch Pop C3-4033x.
It seems to be using a Mediatek chipset and I was reading some of your advices here & there and tried using the program called SP FlashTools but it always resulted in error, in the end. It seems that something is wrong with this phones emmc flash memory. So, I tried transfering some files as a zip files to the SD-card and tried to apply update from it, but it said always: Installation aborted. And then, I have tried looking for a way to flash stock firmware of that specific Alcatel model on SD-card, but I just don't have any clue how to do it, if it is possible, even. Maybe I should just give up trying?
Oh, I almost forgot to write that the phone doesn't have the access to Android OS and USB debugging isn't turned on, because computer doesn't seem to list it and I don't know if there any button combinations that Alcatel uses for this model to get into that fastboot or adb mode, even though have installed mediatek drivers. It can only get into Android System Recovery 3e. That seems to be everything, I think, at least.
Oh guys, I am so, so, so sorry if I am bothering you with this. I just didn't know what or where else to ask this. Thank you sooo much!
Hi download those files:
Firmware:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/bpm4ibsbmr4q6nc/OT-4033X-Without_Mobilis_logo__BY_GSMSERVE.rar/file
SP Flash tool:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603870440
Driver:
https://mega.nz/#!8VYkQCxD!fkhTrZwFFILDAglO1cR_8pIM4Cel52brZ7RB6QZoc6o
Once you downloaded all right driver open SP flash tool and add Scatter file
MT6572_Android_scatter.txt
Click on Download , connect your phone without battery and see if the process is going on if not try again with battery inside.
If you end up with error do the same thing but now first do Format then after is Finish do Download. Good luck ...
It still displays error :/

I have tried to do everything like you have said, but it still displays error when i press the Download button, and it displays that error after some seconds pass and also the same happens hen i try to use the Format function. This is the error it displays when i tried with the download button: BROM ERROR: S_DA_SDMMC_WRITE_FAILED (3149)
And this is the same error it displayed when i tried using the Format function: S_DA_SDMMC_WRITE_FAILED (3149)
i am so, so sorry for bothering with this.
