Fixing Bootloop or a Bricked Micromax A311 - Micromax Canvas Nitro A310/A311

Now, i have seen countless cases of people being not able to flash their MMX A311, as for me I was having the same problem too, turns out that the driver is the main problem.
I was trying out YGDP but i was stuck at "Enabling Download Mode"
and while trying out SP tools i was getting an error "s_brom_cmd_jump_da_fail (0x7f3) " .
Then again, I tried many things, and got my phone working in 10 minutes. :good:
So if u too are stuck, then try my method.
It is highly recommended you do this in Windows 7.
I did everything while my phone was switched off but battery was inserted.
Disconnect your PC from internet just to be double careful about the flashing.
First getting the proper driver:
Now, before installing the driver, make sure that you dont have any other driver installed rather than the one which i will provide, if you think you might have installed some other driver then try removing it by "usdreview" (but it didn't work for me though that's why PLEASE TRY THIS ON ANOTHER COMPUTER OR LAPTOP, MAYBE IF YOU HAVE ANOTHER LAPTOP OR COMPUTER OR MAYBE TRY IT ON YOUR FRIEND'S SYSTEM. THIS SOLVED THE "ENABLING DOWNLOAD MODE" PROBLEM FOR ME)
Download this driver, I did with this one:
Remove the (dot) and put " . " in the link. .
www(dot)mediafire(dot)com/file/8v32j8h5doflzi0/Mediatek+MT65xx+Preloader+Driver(dot)rar
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Extract it and remember where the folder has been extracted to, as it will be needed to install the driver.
Installing the driver:
Open up Device Manager.
right click on My Computer > Manage > on the side pane click on "Device Manager"
Keep it open.
Now first CHOOSE A SINGLE USB PORT WHICH WILL BE USED BY YOU THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE PROCESS. DON'T CHANGE IT!
Now use your usb data cable and insert it into your chosen USB port and then to your phone.
As you will insert it you will see a device popup in 'Other Devices' or some other tab named as "MTK65xx Preloader" or something similar like that.
NOW BE QUICK IT DISAPPEARS IN 3-4 SECONDS !!
Quickly right click on mtk65xx preloader and select "Update Driver Software"
Now as in the new window opened up, select " Browse my own computer to install the driver"
Browse to the DOWNLOADED DRIVER'S folder, select the folder "Win7" for Windows 7 and Above.
Now the driver will be installed.
Now after being installed, take out your phone from the usb cable, dont remove the usb cable from the computer because you make mistake while again inserting it back into to a different port.
Getting the stock rom and YGDP tool:
Now get the stock rom for A311 and YGDP tool from any verified site.
I downloaded mine from :
Remove the (dot) and put " . " in the link.
www(dot)needrom(dot)com/download/micromax-a311
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Download from this site needs user to be logged in, it barely took 2 mins for me to register and download it.
If you have any other site you trust then go on and download it from there, but I recommmend you to follow my steps and sites as I did everything and succeeded.
Download the ROM and also the YGDP tool.
Extract the downloaded file to some specific folder as this is the ROM and the tool required.
Installing and Using the YGDP tool:
I have seen people recommending latest YGDP tool but on the contrary I recommend the downloaded old version from the previous step, it worked for me like a charm!!
Install the YGDP tool from the extracted folder.
After installation, YGDP desktop icon will appear, open it.
put the password as: 369
Now, on the top pane, press the button "Config"
In the window opened, on the side pane, carefully select "8297W" for A311
And after selecting that, on the left side section,
in the " Please select CPB file : " , click on the button beside it and browse for your extracted folder of ROM and select it !
now it click " Apply " button .
It will take 1-2 minutes, and after this you will be brought back to the main window!
Now click on " Start "
And wait till in the bottom message log it says " ENABLING DOWNLOAD MODE" , now follow the next step !!
Flashing your phone:
As YGDP stays in enabling download mode, now insert your phone back to the usb cable which was left out in the computer.
Now, if you did everything correctly, YOUR PHONE WILL BE DETECTED and YGDP will start flashing by itself, wait till it says 100% with a green bar.
Remove your phone from the USB cable and then click "STOP" in the main window of the YGDP tool.
Power on your phone.
Your phone will be successfully be flashed and alive !!! :fingers-crossed:
FROM NOW ON, ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP . :silly:
Feel free to ask questions. :laugh:
If u have suggestions, I'm open for it!! :laugh:

While I am connecting to the computer it does not recognise it and continuously connecting and disconnecting the USB drive and I have tried different ways like why GDP tool and SP Flash tool when I tried with why GDP tool it struck at the entering download mode and when I tried with SP Flash tool it recognise the device but ends with an error message finally the problem is my computer is not detecting the device properly and I have install the drivers manually also but of no use now I am not able to go for go to the recovery mode my phones is continuously rebooting please help me thanks in advance

as you said i have done all the things, and its turned out as green bar. everything is ok, but while power on my device it will only shows the micromax logo it wont go further... kindly suggest me about what to do next...

anyone active here?

[Q] My phone has been bricked! :`(

Hello!
I think my MMX Canvas HD A116 has been soft bricked. :crying:
I'd installed DOGE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663763 ROM, and it was working fine. After that I tried to get backup using Nandroid Manager but it was failed. So, I restarted phone in CWM Recovery mode and tried to backup data from there.
But after that, my phone went dead.
Screen starts for few seconds but it is not showing boot logo and even I'm not able to go into recovery mode also!
My PC or SP Flash Tool is also not recognizing phone.
Will USB Jig work for MMX phones? Is there any hope?!
Please help!
try to reinstall the drivers.. and then connect your device through sptools.

Thank you Shivraj for replying.
But as I said in earlier post, my phone is not going into recovery mode. As I press "Volume +" button, it goes off. I wish somehow I can at least boot my phone into recovery mode!
Have anyone tried USB jig for Micromax phones?

NOW Open SP Flash Tools Folder AND Double Click ON "Flashtool.exe"
In Flashtool..Click On SCATTER-LOADING(FOUND IN RIGHT-SIDE) AND Select SCATTER File From STOCK ROM'S Folder
Flashtool Automatic Select All IMGs AND FILEs
NOW Completely Turn Off Your Phone
In Flashtool..Click On "DOWNLOAD" Button
Install USB Driver AND Connect Your Device To Computer
If Everything Is Right Then Process Will Start...Wait Till All Progress Completion
After All Process "GREEN CIRCLE" Appear In Center..
DISCONNECT PHONE AND POWER ON...THAT'S ALL
the correct drivers for mediatek is attached below.
Also, the process after "In Flashtool..Click On "DOWNLOAD" Button" , should be:
1. Open device manager
2. Connect your phone to PC through data cable.
3. New device will appear in device manager for 5-10 seconds only.
4. Quickly right click on newly appeared device and selected update driver.
5. Select drivers from downloaded and extracted attachment.
6. It will successfully install driver.
7. Remove data cable from phone and again insert it in phone.

It had to me once, when I was going to flash the stock rom from SP Flash tools. I think there was some drivers problem, and the process stopped in between, and when i tried to turn the phone on, it only emitted some light and would stay that until the battery would drain. After a few days, it went dead, no response. This was the time I realized that I had to give it to a service center. Unfortunately, the service was awfully bad, and my phone came repaired back after 3 MONTHS! So, I recommend, that you hand it over to a non-micromax service center (as your warranty is now void), and try your luck! All the best!
P.S. My CHD is working awesome now, installed MiUi

Lenovo P780 - Won't boot

Hi All,
Have seen the numerous posts on this forum for the Lenovo P780, but cannot for the life of me get mine to work again
Model: P780 4GB (believe it is the Chinese version as when I first started it, Android was in Chinese (hence me trying to replace the ROM).
Here are the symptoms:
Black screen, won't power on, cannot even get into factory reset mode.
Tried the reset button on the back of the phone (some say 3-5 seconds others say 20 seconds - Tried both, nothing!).
Tried to fix the problem by doing the following:
Download the SP Flash Tools version 5.1352.01 and ran them on my Windows 7 Machine as Administrator.
Loaded the P780_ROW_S226_4GB_KIT_KAT (as this is what I thought would do the trick.)
Selected the MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt file and then Firmware Upgrade set, then hit download, connected the phone to the laptop (red light on the phone), SP Flash Tool then goes to 100% Download DA (in red), and then the message "Unrecognized ROM detected".
That's it nothing else. Can't power on the phone.
Any advice help would be appreciated before I throw this phone through a window!!!
Thanks,
Mak.

Hi Stympy,
I have managed to get an Android ROM installed on the P780. Details are:
Android version 4.2.1
Build: P780_S136_140306
The only problem now is that the rear camera does not work, and have been told that trying to install a non-standard ROM could have blown the rear camera.
As I am not experienced with flashing these (or any other types of smartphones), I have no idea if this is correct.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Soft Bricked A310/3311 or Internal Storage Broken unable to mount /Data /cache

Hi Guys !!!
I recently Soft Bricked My A311 and it was totally DEAD !!!!!! BUT AFTER TWO DAYS HARD WORK FINALLY GOT IT WORKING TOTALLY FINE FROM DEAD STATE !!!!
FOR BRIEFLY EXPLAINING VIDEOS N SHOWING ACTUAL FLASHING CLICK HERE
When To Use My Meathod :-
1.Not able to flash any ROM (Every Rom Fails)
2.Error Message "Unable to mount /Data" OR "Unable to mount /cache" while flashing Rom
3.Internal Storage Error "No such directory exists "
4.Unable to Boot ur device in any way
The Only Meathod I Suggest Is To Flash Stock Rom Using YGDP tool ........
BEFORE ACTUAL PROCESS FOLLOW THESE STEPS !!!!!
1.First u need to Download Micromax A310/A311 Stock Rom and YGDP tool for for this click on this link -http://androidxda.com/download-micromax-stock-rom-models
2.U need a usb cable with Standard Configuration
3.And Offcourse Ur Bricked Device
Now The Actual Process>>>>>>>
1.Unzip The Download Stock ROM rar into any directory of ur Computer(WINDOWS) and after unziping u will get a file in .CPB Format
2.Install YGDP Tool on the System by clicking next next next but Dont Run
3.Now the most Important and the most Tricky Part To Install The Device Drivers On The System...... If u already have drivers installed then u dont need to do this part...........To do this there r different methods for different OS of windows but i prefer Windows 7.......... steps r given below:
a . Go to start in Windows
b. Right click on computer and open manage
c. Device Manager will open
d. Now remove the battery of ur bricked phone and connect it to the pc via the USB Cable
e. Just on connecting usb cable hold volume down button and quickly press the power button around 10 times for system to detect
f. Then the MT65XXX divers installation will get started on the system
h. When the installtion get finished unplug the usb cable
i. Now again plug the usb cable without battery on device and u will see aditional port in device manager for 3-5 Sec named as MTXXX preloder blah blah
4. Seting Up YGDP Tool:-
a.As Installed Earlier u will see a YDGP shortcut on deskop
b.If it Stops working then dont panic Just go to application setting and set compatibility to windows 7

2.Install YGDP Tool on the System by clicking next next next but Dont Run
3.Now the most Important and the most Tricky Part To Install The Device Drivers On The System...... If u already have drivers installed then u dont need to do this part...........To do this there r different methods for different OS of windows but i prefer Windows 7.......... steps r given below:
a . Go to start in Windows
b. Right click on computer and open manage
c. Device Manager will open
d. Now remove the battery of ur bricked phone and connect it to the pc via the USB Cable
e. Just on connecting usb cable hold volume down button and quickly press the power button around 10 times for system to detect

SP flash tool isn't detecting Phone though it's detected by Windows.

Hi. I own a Lenovo S850. While trying to update system from the settings, it suddenly turned off and never opened. So I downloaded the Stock rom and flashed it via SP Flash tool. After opening the mobile, it was not like before. SO I downloaded stock rom from another website, connected phone with SP flash tool and formatted from there. It showed ok. Then I clicked download with Da/DL checked. But it couldn't detect the phone. I reattached the USB(It has attached battery), it showed USB connected on Device Manager but SP flash tool couldn't detect. I tried from 3 different PC's.
Duo to 1st post on XDA, they aren't giving me permission to post the link of screenshot. But if you want to see, just remove the space before .com and paste it to browser : i.imgur .com/sj8So7S.jpg
Before formatting the last time, USB VCOM only connects for 2 second, I had to click download and then I needed to attach the phone. But now it doesn't connect for only 2 seconds. It shows the whole time I connect with PC.
I uninstalled every driver with USB deview, reinstalled and updated VCOM driver. But nothing changed.
When I click and hold the power button, nothing comes up on phone, not even the backlight. Tried to enter in recovery mode, nothing shows. What should I do now?

Elephone P9000 Root No PC

Once you got into android modding, an unrooted phone becomes almost useless.
Now my problem is that I´ve got one.
Couple of days ago my Elephone P9000 arrived from amazon but I can´t connect it to a PC since it says that no device is detected.
Yes, the drivers are installed properly!
I thought that isn´t a problem because there is Kingroot.
Turns out the following rooting apps don´t work for me:
Kingroot (Kingoroot), iRoot, z4root, Framaroot, Towelroot, Oneclickroot, Universal Androot, Root Genius, Baidu
Custom Recovery isn´t installed because, of course, no root.
Now how do I root?

The first thing you need to accomplish is to get your PC to recognize your phone, rooting from there is going to make life easier, but yes, I know you already know that. If your using windows 10, maybe check this thread out on Elephone Forum:

Firstly is your PC finding your phone ok with the PC on? If yes.. all good - if no you need to sort this out first.
Then, ensure you have installed the MTK driver on your PC (these are the Media Tek drivers which will find your phone when it is off) instructions here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p9000/how-to/how-to-guideline-install-mtk-drivers-t3344042
Then flashtools should work fine with your phone off.
Just a tip using FlashTools (Im on windows 10 - I dont know if this applies to other windows)
In flashtools, press download first (without phone connected), give it 5 secs and then connect your phone to your PC with the volume up button pressed at the same time. Once you see FlashTools starting to flash your phone, release the volume button. I have to do this all the time in order for my phone to be found on Windows 10.

To start of, I am using Windows 10 as you do.
When I connect my phone when it´s turned on, I get the small icon in the taskbar that allows me to remove the device safely or open devices and printer.
There, my device is put to a section called not specified and it has a small yellow icon.
Only is it called "P9000" which is alright.
Windows explorer acts like no device is connected at all.
When I connect my phone as it is turned off, I still get the notification "USB Device wasn´t recognized." and
windows explorer still doesn´t care as well as the flash tool.
The link you gave me isn´t the one I previously used to install the drivers so I gave it a try.
There are two different ways mentioned in the posts #1 and #4 so I started with the first one.
(Spoiler: Both don´t work for me!)
Everything worked until a step almost at the end where I am told to connect my off-switched phone to the pc.
The tutorial tells me that there should now be a preloader unknown device or something at Device Manager > Ports (COM & LPT) that I would need to proceed further.
I didn´t get that one.
Dead end for me so I went on to the next tutorial in post #4.
In that post I am told to remove a MTK USB Port at Device Manager > Ports (COM & LPT) right after installing the .inf driver files (Yes, I installed the 64 bit version and do have a 64 bit PC).
Ignoring that step didn´t help any of the problems I had before so I got a dead end here, too.
The "Volume-Up-Trick" did help me neither, probably cause of the not working drivers.

Ok first things first, lets make sure your P9000 is fine with your phone on. You said:

(make sure in dev options on your phone USB debugging is ON and USB config is MTP)
So from that you simply need to (In Device Manager) right click > Update Driver Software > Browse My PC for Driver Software > Let me pick from a list of device drivers from my PC > then choose MTP USB Device
Once windows installs this, a box should pop up showing your P9000 internal storage and SD Card (if you have one in phone)
To ensure that your PC is now finding your phone ok, restart PC and plug your phone in - you should be prompted by windows to choose a default action when this device is connected (I choose transfer files or something similar). Then everytime you connect your phone, a box will pop up showing allowing you to access your P9000.
Now onto when your P9000 is switched off... (the important part for flashing etc)
I followed the instructions at post #4 as I believe due to the anniversary update on windows 10 (the January update I believe) .. if you do not have the January update installed on your PC you would use the instructions #1
Don't worry too much if you receive "USB device not recognised" initially, (from what I have understood this is normal with the Anniversary addition of windows 10) it should disappear after few seconds or so. From what I worked out following post #4 you are kinda installing a MTK device (just so you can install the drivers) and then uninstalling that device BUT keeping the drivers installed (its VERY important when you uninstall the device you untick the delete drivers too, otherwise you have essentially deleted the MTK drivers & would have to start from scratch from post #4)
For me, when I connect my p9000 when its off it still shows "USB device not recognised", then after a few seconds this goes away and I dont have any errors under Device Manager > Ports (COM & LPT) & flashtools works fine as long as I press vol up as I connect my phone.
Hope this helps, I had a headache when I tried to install MTK drivers with my windows 10 (Anniversay Update Edition) - good luck, it was kinda trial and error

I am running the Anniversay Update Edition and don´t get an popup window when connecting my phone turned on.
As far is I can tell, a working connection with the device running is more important in the first place.
Now I don´t quite understand your instructions at this point:

In Device Manager right click, but where?
Blank space? Definetly not.
According to the linked tutorial, I´d have to right click on something like "unknown device" or something similar.
But that doesn´t show up in my list.

I can understand the point but after installing that driver package, there is no MTK device in my device manager that I could uninstall.
I seriously need to thank you for wasting so much time on me:angel:
When you plug your p9000 (while its turned on) into your laptop/pc... in Device Manager, probably under Universal serial Bus Controllers do you see a unknown device, or anything with a question mark / unknown device beside it ? If so, that's where you right click and follow instructions above to get your PC to recognize your handset. At this point just concentrate on getting pc to recognise while its on, then hopefully we can then move to setting up when its off.

Well, that solved all of my problems...
Almost...
Drivers are fully working for me now so I wanted to flash TWRP with SP Flash Tool to be able to flash the superuser .zip file.
Since drivers work now, flash tool started flashing and gave me the error you can see in the attached screenshot.
Fortunately, my phone isn´t bricked or anything.
Edit: After a couple of reboots of all my devices, I get back to where I was before: USB Device wasn´t recognized and Flash Tool doesn´t do anything.

All cool & its an easy thing to miss when your not looking for it (or for that matter if you dont know that menu even existed)
That error is a preloading error, I'm assuming your flashing TWRP Recovery and like you I had similar issue - I shared a simple solution here that worked for me here (it should work fine as long as you are on Stock Elephone 2016810 Base onwards so I believe, Elephone changed the preloader or something like that in later ROMS)
So Basically, you download the Stock Elephone 2016810 Base ROM from HERE & unzip
Grab Flash Tools ver v5.1612 (if your not using that version) HERE - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424940027
Then download TWRP_3.0.2.8.zip HERE & unzip
Copy the the "MT6755_Android_scatter" & "recovery.img" from TWRP_3.0.2.8 folder into the Elephone_P9000_2016810 Rom folder.
In Splash Tools, first flash the Elephone_P9000_2016810 Rom open "MT6755_Android_scatter" from _810 file & ensure the recovery section location points to "recovery.img" in the _810 folder also
Once your stock _810 ROM is flashed successfully, you then flash TWRP (with only recovery ticked) and ensure the recovery location points to "recovery_TWRP_3028_P9000" and your TWRP should flash fine. Make sure your using Flash Tools ver v5.1612, that worked fine for me.
There maybe an easier solution someone can point you too, but I know this worked for me no problems - you should now have TWRP recovery on stock _810 ready for you to flash your chosen ROM

Then download TWRP_3.0.2.8.zip HERE & unzip
Copy the the "MT6755_Android_scatter" & "recovery.img" from TWRP_3.0.2.8 folder into the Elephone_P9000_2016810 Rom folder.
In Splash Tools, first flash the Elephone_P9000_2016810 Rom open "MT6755_Android_scatter" from _810 file & ensure the recovery section location points to "recovery.img" in the _810 folder also
Once your stock _810 ROM is flashed successfully, you then flash TWRP (with only recovery ticked) and ensure the recovery location points to "recovery_TWRP_3028_P9000" and your TWRP should flash fine. Make sure your using Flash Tools ver v5.1612, that worked fine for me.
There maybe an easier solution someone can point you too, but I know this worked for me no problems - you should now have TWRP recovery on stock _810 ready for you to flash your chosen ROM

I´m going to try this now.
Do I have to go back to Stock 20160810 if I have 20161107?

I guess if you download the 20161107 ROM it should work, I'm really unsure, its a newer ROM so I guess it should

It didn´t work.
I did all the steps you´ve told me and ended up with the exact same problem I´ve experienced before: USB Device not recognized and SP Flash Tool doesn´t do anything after pressing the download button.
I was going to reinstall the drivers like you told me form post #4 here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p9000/how-to/how-to-guideline-install-mtk-drivers-t3344042
That didn´t do anything, I still have the same problem of my pc not recognizing my phone.
At least connecting my phone when it´s running works now.
you have to press and keep vol + when connecting the turned off phone to the computer after clicking download in FlashTools.

MMmmm .. have you tried a different USB port? maybe a different lead if you have one? (I have two leads and I know one doesnt work for me, dunno why)
Also, after pressing download in SplashTools.. count to say 7-10 secs and then press Vol UP and connect your phone.... (I know this sounds bit stupid, but it works for me, if I connect straioght away I get errors too ref driver )

No, that doesn´t help either.
I think it has to do something with installing the drivers cause after installing them, in Device Manager no new drivers are displayed except for two Mediatek Preloader USB VCOM Port (COM5) and (COM6).
But those only become visible when I check "show hidden devices".
The tutorial said that some more things should have been installed but I didn´t get any error messages so I don´t understand what shouldn´t have worked.
Sorry Im at a loss really, maybe follow this tutorial my brother followed to reinstall the MTK and try again with all the above steps, good luck

Make sure your PC is in driver signature disable mode when flashing etc btw

Didn´t help either.
Current state:
Phone On > Everything working, I get the popup window and data transfer works :good:
Phone Off > USB wasn´t recognized, Flash Tool isn´t working, no recognition in windows explorer, phone is charging, vol+ doesn´t help
MTP and USB Debugging are activated
While installing the drivers I got no error messages and everything looked same as in the tutorial

Good to hear you can atleast use your phone to transfer etc while on
Just curious (although Im sure you have followed the video / other tutorials to the letter) but
(1) did you ensure when following video tut that when uninstalling the legacy device you unticked the driver box to ensure the drivers were actually kept installed?
(2) Check Device Manager, under the Ports (COM & LPT) section and remember you shouldn't have anything referring to a MTK device in there - ie like MTK USB Port (Com 3) ? (If you have it needs uninstalling)
(3) Seems obvious I know but you are connecting your phone and using FlashTools when your Windows Driver Enforcement is disabled? ( Literally restarting with advanced options & choosng Disbale Driver Enforcement) Many users think once you have installed the driver you can use it with Windows Drivers enforcement enabled, but you have to be in disabled mode.
Finally if you doubled checked all of those, then maybe try a different version of FlashTools (worth a try) and also try running FlashTools as Administrator when you open it - good luck
