How do you intend to write an img if the device won't go into download mode, recovery, or boot for that matter? Maybe look into returning your phone.

He doesn't need to boot into there to use a recovery sdcard. Me, @noobtoob, @msmercy42, and others (very sorry for those I forgot to mention, I have a very limited memory!!!) took tricks that the N900A guys got for a hard brick solution and came up with one for the N900T. Now, we're assuming this can be ported out to all other N900X variants but this still has yet to be tested. It involves grabbing about 200MB from mmcblk0 and writing it to an sd card. Not just copying it, but doing a raw write of the image file to an sdcard via the dd if command in either terminal emulator or a Linux OS environment.
If someone here has a N900P, I'd be glad to walk them through the process of creating a unbrick image for the OP. It copies over bootloader information to boot from the SD card, not the device. NO SENSITIVE EFS INFORMATION IS COPIED!!! This method has been done enough times to say that at least. .
OP: when you plug your device into your computer do you at least get a QCHSUSB port or the notification that a device has been recognized by Windows? If so, this method should work. If not, you may have a hardware fault.

You can make your own if you follow the link op posted in his instructions.
So...will SOMEONE post a working image? Lol. I don't have a N900P but I'd like to keep a running archive of unbrick images (in addition to space hogging firmwares) in my mediafire account to post links to. This way it'll keep the consistency of image size and contents; and most importantly people won't need to wait for it to be generated/uploaded.

I cannot upload the actual file because it is too big (52mb). I sent you a pm. If you can upload it to a file share site and post it here that's cool. Just don't like uploading it from personal dropbox, they don't like me posting files to public sites for some reason.

Do you know what gets encrypted exactly You will need to be specific so do some research first :good:
If I were you I would just return it to Elephone because your problem is their fault 100% and not many will share their userdata normally
See this thread HERE maybe this is the same problem you have.

Ok try to boot to recovery using adb.
1. Start MTKDroid tools.
2. Push the adb button on the bottom right corner of droid tools
3. start your phone while connected to the pc
4. watch to see if droid tools loads your phone info :fingers-crossed:
5. If it does go to the adb command prompt and enter.
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Wipe everything you can from the options in recovery.
It can take a while so go have a cup of tea.
:fingers-crossed:

Yes i do that yesterday with the same result and read out over adb :boot.img, cache.img, lk.bin, logo.bin, preloader.bin, recovery.img, secro.img, system.img, userdata.img and proc/partinfo, that shows the memory mapping same as in your scatter.txt, i have check it in MTKDroid Tools.
now i wisch any *.img flash seperatly to the phone with your scatter.txt and show wich *.img is damaged to unbrick my phone.
i ask you to send me any or all *.img from your running phone, so i can test it, but any complet rom also can help.
bigrammy, without any file from running P6000, a can´t unbrick this phone , but also a stock-rom can help.
you will not send anything, you can not help me at the moment.
good day so long.

Verify all backups
Important Note: When you backup the system.img make sure to set it large enough to capture all the data on the partition if unsure just backup the entire system partition
Please use Hex Edit to quickly verify the read backs have captured all data !!!!
See Photo
Free version can be found here: http://www.hexedit.com/index.html
Great online Hex to file size and vice versa (other way around) MB, GB etc is HERE THANKS TO THEM FOR THAT :good:

Ok, i m a noob with Mtk devices..but i've experience on modding with other android phone..... proc/partinfo give me the same result on partion size ecc...
but
Only one thing I did not understand,
I have to connect the device without a battery, right?
Connecting the device without battery, despite having installed the drivers Vcom, I see that the device is recognized for 2 seconds then disconnects automatically, then again recognized .. is this normal behavior?

Bro why should I share everything
I use the phone everyday for developing and for personal use too.
It's 99.9% certain that the encryption app screwed the userdata and as I have said I will not share this.
I dont want to factory reset the phone until I have done the with Development work
For you to sulk with me is not very fair I am sure someone will upload a copy to needrom.com very soon now we have the Tool.
still wait for P6000 ROM

no problem...YOU say
I will share when everything works as it should so you will be able to fix your brick
but i waiting for brother that can make backup, factory reset to make clean backup and then restore first backup , i will not any personality data from anyone :cyclops:
bigrammy THX for scatter.txt
(Solved finger trouble) Userdata!!!! Wrong size????
WARNING!!! The Start Address of the USERDATA is WRONG or NOT WHAT I WANT!!! IT will give you a 12GB Backup THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED it also needs to be corrected on the SCATTER FILE!!!
I have noticed while making a Backup of the USERDATA it produced a 12GB backup using the /partinfo information from the phone. This is just a full Phone Backup pretty much. ROM Dump It may be handy to Restore a device but must be wrong for just capturing the actual userdata info
So How do we find the ACTUAL Userdata Maybe this is the reason why MTKDroidTools stopped doing userdata backups in later versions
So I need to do some more digging around.
Any Help regarding this will be appreciated :good:
Panic over guys I forgot to Name the readback userdata.img It seems when you forget to name it eg: leave it as ROM_0 the flashtool will ignore your inputs and just dump the whole ROM. :laugh: Still 6GB though
You can use this handy online Hex converter which will give you the hex value of a size or vice versa. Here and thanks to them for the easy to use tool :good:
Hi bigrammy, another noob/dumb question regarding how to make full backup of my device... What I have to backup with spflashtool to have a complete backup of the phone?

Yes bro you can and probably should readback all partitions manually just once for safe keeping :good:
MTKDroidtools used to do everything for you but with our phone you must do it manually now :crying:
Remember to increase the system.img size to at least 1GB to be sure you capture all the data mine is around 0.95GB actual size at the moment but remember it will increase as you install more things app updates etc etc
I have attached a picture below.

No luck tried different usb port, 2.0 and also 3.0 usb. also tried to backup recovery.img like you do in your video tut but no luck again..

Ps. i have a windows 8.1 x64 laptop
So here's the thing, first off this Tablet as great as it is..seems like a ghost of an existence in the android community.
Anyways please please anyone at all any suggestions, I've tried numerous things to get out of this boot loop... So what happened is I ended up updating this device with Asus latest zip file they said to manually update with for Marshmellow
I've tried to re-install the zip file again using the IntelAndroid-FBRL-07-24-2015, to which now doesn't work nor does ADB Fastboot, it recognizes the device.. but now all commands pretty much fail... I don't know what else to do with this.
I did however installed the Asus Flash Recovery Program, I just cannot for the life of me find what file to use to re-flash this. Anyone please ANY SUGGESTIONS
If anyone at all has access or knows a working link for ZenPad Recovery files or raw image files.. I haven't been able to see if Asus Flash Recovery can help.

Can you tell me what version of Asus Flash Tool you were using? I'm trying to us the 1.0.014 but alll it lets me use is a zip file. I've seen videos people using 1.0 and pulling up a choice between zip file or raw files.
If you can let me know that would be great and thanks again for your help!

I just selected Z580CA and flashed the raw file. It wouldn't let me flash any ZIP, so I had so search for the correct image.
I zipped the RAW file ...
Working as expected and debricked my asus
Cool & Thanks !
Z580C tablet is bricked, it happened on update, I think battery was too low. Screen is black all the time, under windows device manager it connects as Intel Soc/ Moorefield Device (Intel platform Flash Tool Lite is installed and this tool is seeing that device is connected and it reboots (connects/reconnects) every few minutes), tablet does not connect as Android adb deivice and Android Flash Tool doesn't see device. Any suggestions !?
Thank you

my version is cn. now i can only connect my tab with computer through intel platform flash tool lite. i download the cn.zip from asus website but i cannot find any flash.xml in the zip but some .img can you help me
Any time I try to enter the boot loader to install custom ROM(s), etc., I get an error message upon booting stating: "Start Up Failed. Your device didn't start up successfully. Use the Verizon Software Repair Assistant on a computer to repair your device." and in the top left, in red, it says "SECURE FAIL: KERNEL". What I had to do to get back into the OS was put it into download mode, but after doing that pressing cancel, and it boots just fine. Any way to bypass that stupid Verizon error? I have tried many different methods and many different custom recoveries.

This is normal...
It's just letting you know that you don't have a stock Recovery/Firmware installed and the "Kernel" reference just reflects the Custom Recovery and not the Stock installed.
Just ignore it...
I even get a similar message on my Galaxy S5 as well.

Yes, okay, but how do I actually access the recovery? I can't get into the recovery at all, and ODIN doesn't let me install any recoveries, either. I just get that error, and I can't access the recovery whatsoever (home, volume up, and power), I just get that error. Therefor, it's not that normal. lol

I thought that you had a Custom Recovery installed already...
Try turning your device off, then press and hold the Home Button and Volume Up, while holding those two, press and hold the power button. The device should vibrate once and then a second or so after the first screen displays, release all the buttons and, if TWRP was successful, you should enter into TWRP. If not then you should enter into the stock recovery.

Like I said, I can't access the recovery AT ALL. After I tried installing TWRP through the app, it said it was installed successfully, but when I try to reboot into recovery, I get that Verizon start up error, and I can't actually access the recovery. I tried reinstalling the original recovery and no luck at all, it just fails when I do it through ODIN, or any other way.

What was the Firmware version your device was installed with?
I've got a feeling that you might have Soft Bricked your device because of the Bootloader being locked down.
The only Firmware that can have its Bootloader Unlocked is the one that ends with "MDK".

I was never able to figure out how to figure that out. See, I can still use the phone, I just can't access the recovery. I'm assuming it's MD2 since I can't actually access it, but I read online that the S4 wasn't even locked. And, I have no idea how to unlock the bootloader and how to "unbrick" my device, because agian, ODIN does not like to work for me.

And, I have no idea how to unlock the bootloader and how to "unbrick" my device, because agian, ODIN does not like to work for me.

If you can fully boot the device (assuming you can), you can go into your system settings, About phone, and see what the Android or Baseband Version shows.

Yes, I can see that. It is Android 5.0.1, and the baseband version is I545VRSGPL1, but I'm unsure what that is, because I don't see MD2 or the other one.

This means that your Bootloader cannot be Unlocked...
The "MD2" would have to be where the "PL1" is and this device cannot be downgraded any farther than "OC1" (which is only 2 Firmwares down) and everything above MD2 is locked up.
If the device works as is with that message you originally asked about, i don't believe that it would hurt to continue using it.
As far as myself, I would probably want to flash the "PL1" firmware and also use the pit file as well (pit = Partition Information Table).
Everything you need is on the following thread with instructions and such on the OP.

wait wait, does this mean I can't install custom ROMs, or is there actually a way to flash the version you said?

Unfortunately that is exactly what I mean. A Custom Firmware requires that the Bootloader be unlocked with a Custom Recovery to install it and your device has a Locked Up Bootloader.
There's other options for a device with a Locked Bootloader...
There's TW Based Firmware. The best way to describe this is that it's a Customized Stock Firmware. It's Debloated and other enhancements.
I have 2 I545 devices with one of them in the same boat as you. My choice of TW Based Firmware is the Stang5litre.
I know that this is a bummer and if there was a way, I would definitely have let you know.

Ah okay, makes sense. Even though I can't install any firmwares whatsoever. The phone won't even install stock ROMs, but most phones don't for me for whatever reason, and I know I'm not even doing anything wrong. lol

This device is definitely a temperamental one...
Go to that last link and use one of the Odin versions intended for this device and the pit file too.
Sometimes using another USB Cable and/or a different USB Port on the PC can make a difference as well.

I did use the one they recommended, but I never figured out how to actually use the PIT file..

But, it's okay. I just wanted Android O to use for myself, because AT&T is taking way too long releasing it for the Note 5. lol
I had my phone rooted perfectly fine and I accidentally let an update get by me and now it's unrooted Android 12. I really need my boot.img from GN2200_11_C.10 or I need to know where to download a Pretooted GSI image that I can DSU Sideload so I can pull my own boot l.img.. thanks in advance!!

I'm looking for a specific boot.img. it's in the title.. you need to use the msm download tool to revert back to stock. Sounds like your partitions are messed up and I assume they weren't backed up. I was hard bricked at one point and the msm tool was the only way for me to fix it all and revert back to stock. Make sure it's the correct msm tool for your phone though.

Can you send me the link for the specific boot.img I'm looking for by chance? It's the 11_C.10 version.

Why you can't just unlock it again? Do you have the the T-Mobile version?
The bootloader is encrypted and OnePlus's token just gives you the private to match the public encryption that keeps the bootloader from being edited. In theory if you can discover what file type one plus's token is in and eextract that and somehow dump your bootloader you could possibly manually decrypt it.
Do you have access to a Personal Computer? I could offer some links to a few programs that may be worth trying. I doubt it could hurt trying.
I could use teamviewer to try to use my tools to force your bootloader to unlock also if you happen to not find a solution.

Pretooted, that's funny as can be. A pretooted sideload so he can pull his own.
Ok so 2 things..
1st: Jayram1408, for being a senior member I'm really surprised you'd laugh at me for asking a question or not knowing something. Usually this is a safe place to learn, ask questions, and receive feedback that's positive and informative. I don't know if you think others will laugh at me with you but I doubt it
2nd: I don't know what is funny in the first place, pre-rooted GSI for DSU Sideloading purposes do exist and that's a fact. It makes it so you can use Partitions Backup & Restore properly when the GSI is loaded. Please read https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...g-boot-image-and-making-your-backups.4499447/
Hopefully that catches you up with the rest of us and hopefully in the future you are but more helpful then hurtful to members within the community.
Hey All,
I am trying to root my Nord N20, but am getting a bootloop when trying to boot boot_a after flashing a magisk25210canary patched boot_b image over boot_a. I am flashing a patched boot_b image over boot_a because I am too scared to flash magisk patched boot_b over boot_b (which contains the working OS). My version information is:
android 12
Build: GN2200_11_C.11 Kernel:5.4.147-qgki-ga9e7460afd8c
