[Need Help Unbricking] MTK6572 S6 SM-G920F Clone or ROM - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I need help unbricking a MTK6572 S6 SM-G920F Clone. Or if you do have a ROM please provide me with one, I have used countless roms online to try and flash the phone to no avail. It keeps connecting and disconnecting once I connect the usb cable to it and the phone can't be detected when I place the batteries in it whilst flashing (sometime it works, sometimes it doesn't).
When I try to flash it brings up the usual message that messgae that says the ROM doesn't match, when I read the logs I think it says that there might be memory problem. (I am not sure, that is why I am here to consult with the experts)
As for the phones specs I am not so sure, I think it reads 32gb, 3gb ram, cpu is octa core, on the back of the box but I am sort of skeptical as the sd card read 16gb but is actually 4gb (also not sure if the rom of the phone was loaded on thisor was actually less than 1gb and loaded on the phone - as this was how I briefly saw it before the whole fiasco). As for the ram it might be 1gb or 512mb and the cpu cores might be dual core or quad core not octa core.
Any advice on how to proceed might be helpful. Have tried using a different computer and different cables with the same results still been seen. I could send debugs if this helps.

I ever say that is better to buy a device from an unknown brand that this kind of devices. atleast you will know what you are paying for.
The first you have to do is find the correct firmware/version that was builded for your specific model but this is impossible for unbranded devices so only you can do is to try many firmwares from similar devices under risk of brick it completely (if you didn´t yet).
You have to check/pay attention on the way that you are connecting it with pc, try with SPFlash Tool v5.1628 that is for this version and check only these partitions: System (android), boot (bootimg), EBR1, SECRO and userdata (nothing more in a first attempt), with battery disconnected (whole the process), tap on download and just now connect device.
About specs you can be sure that info it´s altered from the build.prop and also probably system partition doesn´t have more than 800MB maybe 1GB so you have to find a light firmware for it or you will find it out of memory.
Maybe this video can help you if you didn´t see it before https://youtu.be/hjm_b0yz5W4

Unknown soft bricked MTK8382 7 inch tablet. I need help resuscitate it.

I found this bricked tablet, it's a generic chinese 7 inch tablet, it has the MTK8382 processor, single SIM, but I can't figure out anything else about it. Is there any kind of universal rom for these things? I tried to install some roms I found online for models with a similar shape but I ended up bricking it, now it just display lines on the display or a white screen when I turn it on, nothing else works. Should I just throw it away?
It's this generic model that can be found on alibaba if you want to buy in bulk and start your awful tablet company: http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/MTK8382-7-inch-alps-tablet-pc_60273334448.html
I managed to resuscitate it using a rom meant for a device called IKON 7 Tablet, also known as Royqueen MR706. I had flashed at least 20 roms for similar devices before I found this one. It works 100%, even the camera and the FM radio, so it must mean it's a clone of a clone of a clone with the same source hardware from the same crappy chinese factory. This rom is pretty decent too, moderately fast and only has a few crappy games preinstalled, no malware or weird stuff. It even comes with the google apps (still not giving it my google account), flash player, and office suite.
This is the info from MTK Droid Tools. Any other rom I can get for this device to make it a bit more useful?
Also, it seems like I lost the original IMEI of this device. Is there any way to recover it or give it a working IMEI?
I have the same tablet too!

Hi! I have the same tablet and in my case this ROM not worked.
My tablet is: Mediatek MT8312v. Was bricked, and I tried flash with ROM royqueen MR706D by rp_yonex (maybe you saw it out there) but not revived correctly... showed a IKON logo when it start but the display and touch function failed, the screen is misaligned or is seen as half, i don´t know how say, just not functioned correctly.
But i think that i'm not very away from solution.
Even though the screen does not work very well, I could get this data in the "settings/ about tablet" :
Model number: IK-TPC783
Android version: 4.2.2
Baseband version: MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V18, 2013/11/29 20:10

Custom build version: 1.19_20140125
Hardware info: MT8312
Please help!
I'm having an issue with a VERY similar device... It's an MR706, with zero markings indicating brand/manufacturer... The motherboard appears to be model K20-MB-V1.0 and there's a chip (not sure WHICH chip) with a brand called FORESEE on it. Anyway - I attempted to update the firmware using that royqueen scatter, and now the thing won't boot at all. Held the reset button, held all buttons, plugged in (it was at 96% battery before I flashed it) - nothing. Wondering if it's totally bricked or if there's some magic that someone can teach me...

You must be sure the exact model to the chip (the big one usually). In my case it's "MediaTek ARM MT8312v". You can search a compatible ROM to flash with the SP Flash Tools.
Or check if this help (mytabletguru.com/how-to-find-chinese-tablet-firmware)

While I'm a fairly seasoned technician, I'll fully/freely admit to this being the first Android tablet I've taken apart. Here's a picture of the innards - help? The only chip with writing/markings is on the top-left - and there's nothing with MediaTek, ARM, or MT - though there is a number that's been popping up in my searches (8382)...

PLEASE HELP ME
I just noticed these new posts in my thread. Unfortunately I'm not able to help any of you because I literally fixed mine via trial and error. Like I said I kept flashing rom after rom until one worked. I bricked it in several ways before getting the right rom, it had all kinds of issues from not booting at all, showing a boot logo and then bootlooping, showing lines on the screen, and so on. I found it by googling for devices with similar hardware.
But honestly, it wasn't worth it to fix this p.o.s.
If you have a similar device you're better off getting rid of it and buying a new one.

Restoring broken THL T11 need some files and advisory

i had a broken digitizer and refitted it with a new. I meant my phone is a T100s and flashed the wrong files.
because as the seller showed with a new screen it needs also a firmware update, who knows he is wrong
or not. spflash shows empty gp size's, from gp1 to gp4 (emmc flash info at left), who knows what does that
mean? droidtools does not recognize the phone. mediatek vcom drivers already do.
the tools mentioned here
as testpoint & droid root tools links aren't available, the first has been removed due to copyright infringements.
This has the mtk6592w 1.7GHz octa core with 2GB Ram and 16GB Rom 5.0" Gorilla glass (who believes..) Android 4.2.2
needrom does have only heavily modified or screwed up rom available but luckily i found somewhere a
copy of my original.
I didn't found on its one side pointing to the battery insert side a testpoint or something else marked like.
Next is how to engage the new digitizer because the phone may run but it shows only a grey screen.
thanks anyway

device wasn't rooted and not set into usb debbug, I rescued .img files from another.

Well here I have a wonderful problem, I have two devices, according to the working one and the cpu z:
4x ARM cortex A9 @1.42 ghz
revision r3p0
Rockchip RK3066
Model rk3188
Manufacturer Zowee
Android version 4.4.2
bootloader unknown
java vm Dalvik 1.6.0
kernel 3.0.36+ (eng.candy.20150403.110733)
The device that has the problem is the exact same model and all, however, after plugging it to the AC current, it tries to boot up but enters into recovery mode, none of the options work at all, looking into youtube I found out that I can extract the firmware, so far so good, but, I can't use that method because RKROMDUMPER and RKAndroid_v1.29 need the tablet to be plugged and there is the problem, the faulty tablet does not load in that mode while plugged to the computer.
So I was left with the option of getting into recovery mode and attempt to update from external storage, so far the only "Firmware" or "ROM" I've got is the one I extracted from the working tablet, I have, backup.img, boot.img, kernel.img and so on, the biggest one is the system.img which is near 6GB size.
I really don't know how to proceed from this point, do I have anything usable with those .img files? I have tried downloading a 4.4 Android rom, the recovery tried to load the files contained in the zip folder yet the loader showed messages such as, bad footer, or invalid image or always a denial message of whatever sort you may imagine.
So, I am stuck, reading further more I discovered that there are other methods or even other roms that can be loaded, but the Zowee guys have near to nothing to work with.
Could you please help me with this? Are the .img parts usable or in some way "joinable" like merge them into a single file or directory?
The device was not rooted, so I am left with only the chance of fresh installing from sd card and nothing else.
Thanks in advance.

Help with "Ployer momo11 III" Allwinner A31s - Bricked

About a year back I bought this tablet second-hand, No box, no cords, no manual, nothing.
All I have to go on is what is written on the backcase and inside the actual tablet.
The thing is that this specific model seem to be spoken of very lightly on the internet and there's been alot of missinformation regarding the actual model name, the CPU and the kernel...
Long story short, I misstook my tablet for the "momo11 Bird" and downloaded CM10 from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1821398
I flashed it, and as you can figure out, seeing I misstakenly downloaded a ROM for Rockchip when in reality I'm on a Allwinner A31s, I accidently bricked my device.
The key combination for recovery or fastboot does no longer work, and as I turn the tablet on it just shows the "ployer" logo and stays there.
It doesn't even reboot itself, it just shows the logo until the battery is dead.
After digging on the internet for what feels like forever, I now am almost entirely certain that I have successfully found the ACTUAL model in my possession.
Most important specs:
Product Type Tablet PC
Brand Ployer
Model MOMO11-III
Color Silver back cover
Shell Material Aluminum alloy
Operating System Stock Android 4.2 (Currently CM10 for momo11 Bird)
CPU Allwinner A31S Cortex-A7 quad-core 1.2GHz
GPU PowerVR SGX544 MP2
RAM 1GB DDR3
ROM (Nand Flash) 8GB
Now, in a desperate attempt to restore my tablet, I'm trying to locate either a stock firmware or a custom one, I don't really care aslong as it works.
The problem is that like previously mentioned, there's not alot of information regarding the "ployer momo11 iii"(momo11-3), and I have also not yet managed to find a ROM for it.
Another issue that I'm also faced with is that I can't seem to get my hands on any USB drivers for the tablet.
Is there anyone here who's got any experience with this tablet, or could help find the proper firmware, respectively the proper USB driver?
Someone please help as this is making me really sad....
