THIS WILL ONLY WORK WITH DEVICES USING EMMC PARTITION LAYOUT!
otherwise flashtool cannot properly readback needed files wich will cause a bricked device. for rooting mt6573 or mt6575 without emmc partition layout,
refere to this method by rua1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38337401&postcount=5
You need to upload the needed files to your Computer using the Read Page Only feature.
ALSO, MAKE SURE YOUR DON'T TRY THAT ON AN ALCATEL (OR SIMILAR) DEVICE, INDICATOR HERE IS A CUSTPACK PARTITION IN SCATTERFILE.
those devices have mt65xx, but have a totally different partition strukture. You can try this tutorial, BUT IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE; I CANNOT HELP YOU OUT!!!
since a lot of devices have different hardware - e.g. Display or Camera - making a Backup of your device should have highest priority. Flashing a wrong ROM can brick your phone!!
What is needed:
VCOM Driver, thx to n2k1
ADB, thx to n2k1
MTK Droid Tools V2.46
If you wan't to use the newest Versionof MTK Droid Tools, refere to here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38337401#post38337401
also, you can buy Master Shifu rua1 a coffee for his great tool!
Support for the newest Version of Droid Tools is NOT given in this thread! I personally don't use his tool so if something unexpected happens, its not my fault.
SP Flashtool V3.1224 for mt6589, newer flashtool is needed!!! if there are some problems with reading back or flashing the device, newer flashtool is needed.
Install the needed drivers. installing VCOM drivers might take a while, because it will show up just a few seconds while connecting the phone(off).
and now the Step-by-Step tutorial to backup your boot.img, recovery.img and system.img for rooting.
1. enable USB-debugging under Settings-Development->USB debugging
2. phone should now get recognized as "Android Phone - Android Composite ADB Interface" -> if this is a Unknown Device, you should install the ADB drivers.
3.Open MTK Droid Tools
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
4. Connect device to USB (USB Debugging has to be enabled)
5. Device informations has been loaded, Press on "Blocks Map"
We'll need to find the lines bootimg, recovery and Android. We'll need to write down Start-adress(Scatter) and the Size for every line.
(i made a screenshot, writing down isn't necessary.)
In MY Case, this is:
bootimg: 00F88000 size: 00600000
recovery: 01588000 size: 00600000
Android: 026E8000 size: 31900000
6. Now we'll need to click on "Create Scatter File" and you can save it as "MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt"
7. You can Close MTK Droid Tools now.
8. Now we need to open SP Flash Tool and we need to load the scatter file.
9. Now we'll need to click on "Read Back" in the top of SP Flash Tool.
Click on "ADD" 3 Times, we will create "ROM_0", "ROM_1" and "ROM_2".
10. Doubleclick on "ROM_0", and select a place to save it, e.g. C:/N9770_backup/ and rename it to"boot.img"
11. now it will ask you for the Start Adress and lengh for bootimg, we wrote down earlier.
this is in my case: Start Address: 0x00F88000; Lenght: 0x00600000. the first "0x" MUST remain at its place!
12. the same thing you'll need to do for "recovery" and "android".
13. disconnect, shut down and remove the battery of your Device.
13. Now we'll need to click on "Read Back", insert your battery and connect your device to USB. (VCOM driver is needed now, you'll need to install it before getting to the next steps)
14. if this were correct, a red bar should appear on the bottom of SP Flash Tool. you'll need to wait until the green ring appears.
15.Flash Tool now read back the 3 files. system.img isn't that important, but boot.img and recovery.img should be around 6 MB. if the file is smaller or bigger, the length is different to my device or there was a failure while reading back your firmware. So make sure, that at least recovery or boot.img has the right size!!
16. Back to droid tools. reconnect your device to USB , debugging should be enabled, too. switch to "root, backup, recovery" tab in MTK Droid Tools.
select "to choose the boot.img" and press on "Recovery and boot". select your backup boot.img and recovery,img. MTK droid tools will patch boot.img, so you obtain permanent shellroot.
(optional) a window will pop-up and ask you, if you want to install CWM-r. i cannot tell you if that will work, but you can try it, since you backed up your recovery before. )
(optional) a window will pop-up and ask you for the name of your device(you connected it before starting droidtools, so this should not ask you for the name). you can just press enter or you can enter a name for your device.
17. Droid Tools should have modified the boot.img. "--a task is complete--" text should show up in the right of droidtools.
18. Back to Flashtool
You'll need to load the Scatter (like in Step 8)
select boot.img and recovery.img. make sure you select the modified files. (.../Droidtools/recovery/boot.img and recovery.img)
only boot and recovery should be selected!!
19.disconnect, shout down and remove the battery of your device. press on "Download", a window will show up that you have not selected all images. you can press on "OK".
20. insert the battery and connect your device to USB. Flash process should start and if it worked, green ring will appear.
21. Back to DroidTools. device needs to be connected and debugging enabled. switch to "root, backup, recovery" again and press on "SuperUser". this will push superuser, SU binary and busybox to your device.
22. Your Device is rooted now. you can make a Full backup with Droid Tools now.
thx to n2k1 and tommy0815 for the needed files and the original tutorial!!
if i helped you, don't forget to press on "thanks"
reserved for future updates
Testing on my Acer Z120 MT6575 base, I hope this will work, feedback later *fingers crossed*
FEEDBACK:
It totally worked, My Acer z120 is now rooted.
(optional) a window will pop-up and ask you, if you want to install CWM-r. i cannot tell you if that will work, but you can try it, since you backed up your recovery before.

Re: [HOWTO][GUIDE] Root & Backup of almost EVERY MT65xx based Device
is there anyone here who tried to follow this thread and successfully rooted his android phone?lenovo s720 user here.waiting for more positive feedbacks.
Will this method work on a Vodafone Smart III (975N) probably with 6575?
Guys, this will work on every mt65xx device, if you installed all drivers sucessfully .this whole thing basically changes a value in Boot.IMG To obtain permanent root in the shell. This is the same on EVERY mt65xx based smartphone. Basically you are rooted now. Just needs To push busybox, su and superuser To your device. Thos whole thing seems complex, but you make a backup oft your modified files before modifiing. I never Had device this tutorial was not working every mt6575, 6577 and 6589 should work without an problem. Mt6573 can be a Problem because oft their YAFFS partition strukture.

Edit:
Now i tried to root the phone. Everything is went fine till phase nr.19. At this point when the flashtool tried to write back the modified boot.img and recovery.img it gave back me the attached error window.
What should be the problem? I went through the steps with doublecheck and everything was fine till that point. I tried this step two or three times more, but every time gave me this error message.
What should I do now? If it helps I can upload the log folder content here.
Make sure the scatterfile is correct and the files should not be bigger than 6 MB. Flash tool tells you that you need to flash a full image cause the scatter is different from you phone.

This will be very helpful. I have a china phone running on MT6577. I've successfully installed a ported V970 ROM to ZA-985 (which is compatible to my unit in terms of hardware and appearance). I wanna try porting a JB V970 Lewa OS ROM to Kata i1 (identical to ZA-985).

thx for your reply, i updated Post #1 , that for mt6589 newer flashtool is required nad sumtimes youll need to play with them. this is because the widely spread devices, they are not the same and sometimes big differences in partitionlayout, SoC revision and so on.
@verntechguy: after rooting, make sure you get a full backup of your device using mtk droid tools. porting lewa is not that hard, but you maybe need to try different platforms to port from. you can refere to here, master shifu yuweng made a pretty good tutorial abut porting Roms.
@Beirajunior: is your device recognized as "mt65xx preloader" when connection to USB? (phone should be off) if not, you can try pressing VOL Up or down while connecting to USB. for flashing, VCOM port 1-16 should be assigned to the drivers.

Can you help me by team viewer ? :x i still cant do the flash..and the phone is reconized as "mt65xx preloader" but after a while he disconect.
My email is: [email protected]
I appreciate any help.
Cheers
no, i cannot help you via teamviewer, my internet connection is too slow, cause i`m on tethering. some additional infos will be helpfull. device? mt6573,75,77,89?
if the device gets found, everything should work. you`ll need to assing the VCOM ports. just look in the driver settings or google it. i`m sure there is some kind of tutorial for it. also, trying another PC or OS will help, too. alot of guys have problems with that, just switching to XP or so will mostly help without tweaking the drivers.
device should be disconnected and battery should not be inserted. now press readback in flashtool, insert battery and connect the device to USB. now phone should be found by flashtool. if not, like i said, check VCOM ports.

"--- ERROR :Boot unthe public mailing list [email protected]"
" --- task is complete ---"
What do you suggest ?

what SoC? mt6573?
Good morning.
I got a problem yesterday with my LG L5 II Dual phone: I caught my sisters pressing any buttons on it and when I saw what they did, there was an Android image on it. Now, every time I try to boot it, it cannot finish the initial setup, saying "Unfortunately, LGSetupWizard stopped."
I've rooted this phone some time ago, but the root seems to have no effect now. For instance, I deleted the following apps:
- Facebook
- Twittter
- All of "TIM" resources ("TIM Recarga, TIM Música, TIM this, TIM that"); "TIM" is the mobile operator of my phone.
I tried to follow the steps described in this post: "[Tutorial] Flashing KDZ on LG L5 II (E455/E460) and other LG phones", but I can't get my phone detected under "Download Mode", what I accessed using (Vol Up) + (Vol Down) keys while booting the phone. Unfortunately, it couldn't be detected in any workaround provided by this guide.
When connected under "Download Mode", I see a device called "LGE AndroidNet USB Modem" under "Modems" category on Windows Device Manager. It seems to be the only mode my phone could be detected under this mode.
Playing around with it, I could access a "Recovery Mode" by (Vol Up) + (Quick Access) keys while booting up the phone. I tried to get some info about it and I could, at least, use it with ADB. But I have read-only access, not read-write anymore. Searching more trying to get an answer to "ADB Force Root Mode", I got some things to notice, like the file "default.prop" under the phone's root system.
This "default.prop" shows the following 6 first lines:
Code:
ro.secure=1
ro.allow.mock.location=0
persist.mtk.aee.aed=on
ro.debuggable=0
persist.sys.usb.config=charge_only
persist.service.acm.enable=0
which means, I think, the phone now isn't configured for USB debugging neither for system write permission.
What can I do to, at least, try to delete some files on it, specifically the 4 setup wizard ones, located at "/system/app/" under the names "LGSetupWizard_JB.apk", "LGSetupWizard_JB.odex", "SetupWizard.apk" and "SetupWizard.odex", since these are the ones which I'm dealing with?
Ah. I tried on computers running Windows 8.1 and Windows XP SP3. No luck.
(edit: 2014-04-02, 23:16 UTC -03:00)
I've playing around with ADB trying to run it with another mode. I don't know if this can help, but sending the phone to recovery mode using ADB
Code:
adb reboot recovery
I get an Android lying with a red triangle sign over it... Still searching for a procedure or an answer to fix the phone, but still with no luck.
[Solved] Guide to solve this kind of problem
After looking for a while on how to fix the problem either by trying to run an ADB shell as root either by flashin the ROM, I could figure another way to flash the original "TIM" rom for my phone instead of the one described on the topic "[Tutorial] Flashing KDZ on LG L5 II (E455/E460) and other LG phones". Here's the way out:
1. Downloading firmware KDZ Flash ROM
First, you have to download the original KDZ ROM for your phone. It can be found at the link below:
LG Optimus L5 II Firmware List
The ones for Brazilian users are described in the page. For TIM users, I suggest using firmware 33 BTM/TIM(BRAZIL), size 599.09 MiB.
Since my phone was sold by TIM, I can't tell about another mobile operators, like Claro, Oi, and VIVO.
2. Extracting a binary file from the KDZ Flash ROM
After that, you will need to extract the KDZ file using LGExtractor (and not DZExtractor).
You can download it from here as an autoextractor file: <4shared>. It will extract itself to C:\RecoverE455\Extract.
Put your KDZ file on an easy access folder. I will assume you will use C:\RecoverE455\ROM for this.
Launch an Administrator command line prompt, and run this command:
Code:
C:\RecoverE455\Extract\LGExtractor -kdz C:\RecoverE455\ROM\<KDZ-ROM-FileName>.kdz
Again, I assume you will put evertything under C:\RecoverE455.
Now, you have a cabinet (CAB) file in the same folder of your KDZ ROM. Extract it directly and you will get some structure similar to this:
DLL (folder)
LGE... (binary rom)
LGUP... (dll file)
3. Getting a most recent version of LGFlashTool
After this procedure, you will have to download LGFlashTool in order to flash you newly extracted BINARY rom.
You can download it from here as an autoextractor file: <4shared>. It will extract itself to C:\RecoverE455\Flasher.
Run the Setup program attached within it and it will install itself under the folder C:\LG\LGFlashTool. Overwrite the file MegaLock.dll under this folder with the one you just extracted in C:\RecoverE455\Flasher.
4. Install the correct LG Support Drivers for your E455 phone
Instead of installing the most recent version of LG Drivers provided by LG, you will install the following ones:
LG United Mobile Driver 3.8.1
LG Windows Mobile 1.0
LG SmartPhone DUN Modem Driver 1.0
They are packaged and you can download them from here as an autoextractor file: <4shared>. It will extract itself to C:\RecoverE455\Drivers. Install them in the order described above then restart your computer.
5. Put your phone under Download Mode
To do this, turn off your phone either directly either removing and reinserting the battery.
Plug the phone - WHILE TURNED OFF - on your computer by the USB cable.
Hold (Vol Up) + (Vol Down) and turn on the phone. Keep holding (Vol Up) + (Vol Down) until you see the line "==>Download mode" in bottom of the screen. If it doesn't appear, try until you get this.
6. Configuring your computer to flash under USB download mode
After plugging your device under Download Mode, open Windows Device Manager and search for some LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (COM##):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If it is not (COM41), you must set it to port (COM41). Set properties of the serial port, select tab "Port Settings", then click "Advanced":
Here, select (COM41) for COM number port.
7. Launch LGFlashTool and flashing
Open your newly modified LGFlashTool (yes, the one you downloaded here and replaced some DLL). It immediately will ask for your BINARY rom and a DLL:
Click the "..." button and select the LGUP***.DLL in the same folder as your .BIN file you extracted in step 2.
Click the "Add" button immediately below (side S/W box), then select the LGE***.BIN you extracted in step 2.
Click OK.
Click the serial port button --
--, and let this dialog be equal as this one, with only "16 ports\Port 1 ~ Port 16\1" marked:
And now click the forward button --
.
It will display READY on box with port COM41.
Disconnect your phone, turn it off, then turn it on under Download Mode as described on step 5.
If you manage to turn it on Download Mode without connecting to your computer, plug it back to the computer.
It will begin flashing by itself. No action needed.
DO NOT DISCONNECT YOUR PHONE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT MAY HAPPEN IF YOU DO SO, BUT PROBABLY YOU WILL BREAK DEFINITIVELY YOUR DEVICE.
After all, your phone will restart with all its original configuration and LGFlashTool will display an error. After you manage to finish LGSetupWizard on the phone, you may close everything.
Man, you are a HERO.
I was having trouble debranding and updating my phone, but with your tutorial, it was EASY! Now I have a debranded and updated phone (V10K).
MANY MANY MANY THANKS!!!
Again, I assume you will put evertything under C:\RecoverE455.
Now, you have a cabinet (CAB) file in the same folder of your KDZ ROM. Extract it directly and you will get some structure similar to this:
DLL (folder)
LGE... (binary rom)
LGUP... (dll file)
i couldn't find these, i've done instructions carefully ... help me pleasee !!! :crying:

LG 455 IMEI Problem
Hi,
I flash my phone following this instructions a month ago, all gone ok but yesterday both sims come into negative band and i discover IMEIS changed. I try to rewrite imeis from back label under batteries by all the ways i know, but none works. The AT command method via engineer menu or Putty console responds OK but doesnt change anything; same thing with MTKTools.
The las chance, i think, its by meta mode imei an sn change tools, like Maui META or SN_STATION, but i cant enter the phone in meta mode or cant find the correct drivers; every times programs fail attemping to connect to phone...
Please if some know some clues make me know!!!!

The AT commands worked for me. In putty, be sure to get "IMEI changed" as response, and check the number. If I remember, the IMEI is comma seppareted.

This method works with E455, just check the drivers and everything else again, and if possible, use a clean computer.

still i can't flash my phone,
Thank you very much, I could not recover the phone all the time, the update always stuck to 4%. When this has helped me! Just when I launched the BAT extractor, it deleted all the contents of the parent folder.
I tried to flash latest rom from Asus website to my new Zenfone C because it had a weird issue, it came the user interface in taiwanesse, but when trying to change to english, it stayed in taiwanesse, so I wasnt able to setup it in first place.
Then, it came to my mind to flash the latest rom, and I used this guide in absence of a Zenfone C guide for flashing:
http://en.zenfoneasus.com/zenfone-recovering-returning-stock-rom-downgrade-clean-update-guide/
I did all the steps listed there first, and then tried the steps but with the red marked steps, flashing the dnx and ifwi also, no result.
The problem is that now im stuck in a bootloop, and cant advance from there, the Asus logo stays there forever.
What happened during flashing is this:
When I sideloaded the update.zip containing latest rom from Asus website, it said:
-Installing update
-Device image SKU: ww
OTA image SKU: WW
and suddenly after that it restarted, showed a huge Intel Inside logo that I never saw and then went to the dead android image. After waiting a while, the phone restarts, this time only showing the Asus logo with the Intel Inside logo beneath it (not the Intel Inside logo only that I mentioned earlier), and stays there forever.
I dont know what else to do, I dont know if Im doing something wrong.
Were you ever able to fix the problem?
No, until now, no

The Fix!
First Download: -
USB Drivers: http://www.asus.com/in/Phones/ZenFone_C_ZC451CG/HelpDesk_Download/
Asus Flash Tool v1.0.0.11: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7cZB2l2IKlKMENKUWlVaHJ3ZHM/view
Signed Rom zip image: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B__oiYlSY-brdHFWMy1OWXNrajg/view
The Process: -
Get your phone to boot into fastboot mode by pressing [vol -] button and power button simultaneously for few seconds.
Connect to your PC and install USB drivers if not done already. The phone should show up as an "ASUS Android Composite ADB Interface" in the Device Manager.
Now, open ASUS Flash Tool :-

}
It should detect your phone with serial number and blue orb in front of it.
Select your phone model i.e. ZC451CG
Choose if you want to wipe data or not. I chose "Wipe Data" since I had everything backedup on asus web storage.
Click that box icon and browse for the signed zip image file you downloaded earlier.
Select your device on the ASUS flash Tool by clicking on the serial number like shown in the picture below.
( It had me scratch my head after one failed attempt because I didn't select it the first time! :silly
Click on the green start button, be patient, stay calm and cross your fingers. This could take 10-20minutes or so.:fingers-crossed:
If everything went well your phone should bootup to the welcome screen like the day 1 you got it.
Now, the zip image is quite old so after the initial setup the phone would prompt you with lots of system and app updates. Go with it and enjoy! :victory:
Lastly, don't be shy of pressing that " :good:Thanks! " button if this post helped you.
Thanks man, I will try tonight. Do you know if this works under Windows 8.1 64bits??. I see the screenshots are from windows 7.

Hopefully it should, I did it on a Windows 7 Professional 64 bit machine.
The USB drivers you download has Windows 8 drivers in it. I think that's all that is needed.
Yeah, I will try it then, and report back, thanks again.

IT WORKEEEED!!!! I dont know how to thank you man!. Thank you so much, I was going to give up on this device!. Its working really well.
The only thing I came into trouble, was to install the USB drivers included in the Asus Flash Tool. I did the following (on Windows 8.1 64bits):
I disabled driver signature check first on windows.
I went to the USB drivers folder inside the ASUS Flash tool folder on Program Files.
I went here C:\Program Files (x86)\ASUS\ASUS Flash Tool\Driver\USBDriverInstaller\devcon\x64
On that folder, there is a program called devcon.exe, right click on it, and select properties.
On compatibility tab select Run as Administrator, click ok.
After this, reinstall USB drivers by going to C:\Program Files (x86)\ASUS\ASUS Flash Tool\Driver\USBDriverInstaller and here execute install_drivers.bat
Thats it, the phone now should be recognized by the Asus Flash Tool.

Those raw files are extremely difficult to find so if you pretend to have any of those phones i recommend to download. It works easily if you have fastboot. If you only have adb i did not saw working but i am trying.
---------- Post added at 07:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 AM ----------
If you try to do that under adb they give a serial number mistake.
4 days trying to solve this bootloop using adb. At least one person here saved his phone with the raw links i found using google webcache in this vietnamese link so it was worth it. Looks like i will need to lose 40 days sending to Asus in Sao Paulo. What a hell folks, those asus firmwares are really crap. Set a great hardware for set poor software.
why my phone does not give any reaction when press power button+vol
I had same problem but different situation....I tried to make an experiment by changing systemui and I had done it with a wrong step .lucky I make a backup and tried to recover it.
But Things get worst when it failed to backupbang now my phone get stuck to Asus logo.I tried to follow the method that your all give in this thread but I can go to fastbootode with it must press power button+col down button.
CAN ANYBODY HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM
Sorry for my bad English
And I'm a newbie and try to learn something from pro
Hello Friends,
This is my first post on XDA <3
Everything started yesterday, My phone just went into boot loop and didn't started.
So I followed this guide - https://forum.xda-developers.com/a310/orig-development/micromax-a310-a311-unbricking-guide-t3184034
Problem happened when YGDP tool got stuck at 13% and remained there, so I removed it and reconnected again but this time it didn't connected as "mediatek preloader usb vcom port" Instead connected as "MTK USB Port com5"

Solved !!
After much efforts and long 15 hours work, My device is working back with stock rom.
Things I Did :-
1. As YGPD tool was not detecting my phone after it was "MTK USB port" I learned how to use SP flash tool.
2. But the problem was I needed the scatter file and the other files, but I only had the .cpb official firmware file. So I did a Trick, I ran YGDP tool made the config selecting 8279W and my firmware and selected apply. This created a "down files" folder contained all the files I needed Including the scatter files. I copied everything from that folder to a new folder on the desktop. So now I had all my firware files unzipped and ready to be used with SP flash tools.
3. Then I learned how to use sp flash tool by watching couple of videos, then I thought I had give it a go. I connected the device, selected the scatter file, and from the options I selected "format all+ download" and clicked the download button. SP flash tools started doing it's work, then bar turned red, then purple then green and then is turned yellow. When it turned yellow the firmware coping was taking place. During my research about SP flash tool I read some posts here or may be somewhere else to change the USB speed setting in sp flash tools from high speed to full speed. I did changed the settings before I started the above mentioned process.
4. I did all the above procedure with my battery removed from my phone. The whole process took 30 mins. Then a green pop up with download complete. I removed the device from USB, put the battery IN and started it. The device started there was micromax logo and after couple of minutes with a screen with a blue square box and on the right hand side up and down. Then I again started the process to solve it. My research revealed that it was some factory mode stuck Issue after flashing.
I stumbled across these resources -
4.1 - https://forum.xda-developers.com/a310/general/tutorial-factory-mode-fix-canvas-nitro-t3046390
I thought It was end to my worries finally but the zip file was hosted at that the worst "HOST" on this planet earth. I tried for an hour Trying to download it. Used VPN's proxies etc.
4.2 Second resource I stumbled across , a thread by kalyan ji but It was deserted by him. Luckily some one had quoted him in the replies so I had found what OP has written. Unfortunately he didn't made the different file host and it was hosted on the same host. This was the thread - https://forum.xda-developers.com/a310/help/factory-mode-fix-micromax-canvas-a311-t3149215/
4.3 Third one was the GSM hosting thread, Which I'm not linking here due to possible rules Violation. Basically it talked about same thing as 4.1 and 4.2. This file that he made available was a different file but hosted on the same Host.
4.4 few other solutions were mentioned Which I didn't tried :- like using a soda rom whose link was on the modaco forum. And one other solution some mentioned in the above threads - it was a chinese site.
5. Seeing it as a dead end here, I thought I had do the half procedure without the unfactory.bat file. I connected the device - My PC had all sort of drivers - I worked at 2 machines simultaneously. Laptops had no driver Issues but flashing tool -YGDP was not working never tried SP flash tools. PC had minor driver Issues sometimes but both YGDP and sp flash tools worked on it.
This time I connected to laptop. Opened the shell as mentioned in 4.1 and 4.2 and ran the below commands
Mind it till now my phone is showing blue square on the top left and up and down on the right
5.1 adb shell
this resulted in my phone getting shut down and on the cmd screen it was now showing root:\a311:
5.2 This command really did the trick <3
fctd -b normal
The moment I entered this command my phone restarted fully - took about 4-5 minutes as it was first boot after the flash.
But along my micromax logo it still showed factory mode going from bottom to the top of the screen.
6. Now my phone started but it showed "Invalid IMEI" , Another road block so I searched again for solutions. I stumbled across various solutions.
6.1 One guy was using maui meta 3g tool to write Imei numbers but was using some database files which I didn't had when I extracted my firmware - so this was a no go for me.
6.2 Another guy was using SN and IMEI writer - here In this method also required some database and config files which I didn't had.
6.3 This was my device specific solution. Solution here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4votc0m4qDo Problem here were guy didn't gave any download link to the zip file he was using. Another Issue was he was Using a custom recovery.
The file he was using "nitro baseband + IMEI.zip" - I searched for that file and found it on the modaco forums - 2 links were alive.
Direct links to that file - https://mega.nz/#!pIRWFT5I!GM-LWuiogIk56gsAMDg5Qp0nU2FAgamHwbSXgbbdSqc
second - https://www.dropbox.com/s/c3t6aa1hswxkkwf/Nitro Baseband %2B IMEI Patch.zip?dl=0
7. Now I had needed the custom recovery Installed on my device. So I followed this resource -
https://forum.xda-developers.com/a310/orig-development/twrp-recovery-micromax-canvas-nitro-a311-t3066387
Problems I faced now : - Files was hosted on the same stupid host so I had to google and download the same recovery file from elsewhere. Recovery file I used as mentioned in the above link was " twrp v 2.4.4" I got the recovery file.
So now I started following one guide available here about updating the custom recovery, This One - https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/
when I reached to this step - " fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.x.x-xxx.img" It started waiting for device and device was never found.
8. I researched and found this could be driver Issues, I Installed the android bootloader and all other drivers, repeated the same procedure and same result. Then I noticed that when it enters the bootloader, the factory mode went from bottom to top and then fastboot appeared 2 times. I thought this is over for as factory mode is not letting me flash the new recovery and I cannot flash the IMEI patch.
So I needed the custom recovery to flash the IMEI patch to fix the Invalid IMEI Issue. But according to my thought process this factory mode Issue was not letting me do that.
9. So I searched again to fix this Issue and stumbled across this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4qSnpCSaFk
Link he provided for unfactory.bat files was - http://www.mediafire.com/file/fh303sbdtsplhko/factory+mode+fix.rar
I patiently followed the steps he outlined in his video. and was able to successfully remove the factory mode Issue.
10. Now factory mode was removed I tried to again flash the recovery file via fastboot was again "waiting for device" error was received. I found One another thread here where a guy a complaining about faulty fastmode on a311 so I thought this could be the case. There were no replies to verify and I'm still in doubt about the Fast boot being faulty or not or something else ?
11. No I needed another methode to flash custom recovery I thought I had re flash everything but with a new recovery. This time I used YGDP tool to flash as my mobile was no "MTK USB port" any more. I replaced the recovery file with the recovery file I needed and re flashed it. I followed this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fz3FcN2mvcs
12. So now I had the custom recovery device again completely started after 4-5 minutes. Surprisingly the factory mode Issue didn't came this time. I thought It has come again after flashing. I switched it off. Put the "nitroband+Imei.zip" on the SD card to install it via TWRP. I went into recovery mode TWRP loaded fine and then I installed it according to the video I linked in my points earlier. Then rebooted the system again hoping "Invalid IMEI error is gone" phone started and that error was gone
13. I turned the phone off and put my sim in and restarted it again. Everything was fine but the signals didn't came. Tried different sims and both slots, nothing worked. Then I stumbled across this link - https://www.skyneel.com/how-to-fix-or-resolve-lost-imei-number-android-micromax-mtk-devices
14. Followed the guide and restarted it. And it worked and everything else also worked as it should have worked. Now my phone is fully functional.
I made this detailed guide for other users who have been going through various hurdles to get everything that they need at one place here. I hope that this will definitely help many users
p.s - few questions that remain - is a311's fast mode faulty ? If yes so how we can fix it.

Flash v03, root and recover lost IMEI
I have the 6/64 version. I'll share my method with you. The only one that didn't stuck me in booting TWRP over and over again.
First, I used fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and immediately after fastboot flash boot boot.img . It's the only way I managed to escape the problem. Now, I flashed the ROM provided by them, linked in this post here #123 and I lost IMEI. I used chamelephon to insert IMEI and the IMEI is there but I can't get any signal. What to do?!
Later edit: that didn't work the second time I tried. Neither camelephon.
New method: The last thing I tried was also successful. So, I flashed the ROM they gave me (coolicool store), which you can find here. I selected "auto flash" and "except bootloader" options in SP Flash Tool, pressed "start" and let it on for 3 second and pressed "stop". Then I selected "format all+download", pressed download and connected my phone while holding VOLUME UP. I kept it pressed a few seconds after seeing the red bar getting to 100%. After flashing I started the phone and installed the latest version OTA, v04. After updating I flashed recovery by fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. Of course, I was stuck in booting in TWRP like every other time so I thought of recovering boot from a backup, and since I didn't have one of my own, I used the one provided by @dreambo found here (thanks dude). When I was prompted to select the items I want to recover, I thought of choosing only "boot", in order to restore boot, but I said why not try restoring "nvram" and "nvdata" too, maybe it will solve my other problem , the lost IMEI problem. And it worked.
I finally succeeded to restore my IMEI and boot, thanks to a recovery, which, now I see, is mandatory before every modification you implement on your phone. Especially when you don't have original ROM.
Sorry for the long post and I hope it comes in handy

I have a Maze Alpha X 64GB in which I can only see a black screen will not turn on at all. Only the red charging LED light turns on to say that the phone is charging and connected to the computer.
I have tried flashing the ROM in the link in your post in this thread but only receive BROM errors in the SP Flash Tool.
I have tried the second link full rom V03 6/64GB Rom Official Stock as well but this one does not have a Preloader so I cannot use this ROM to unbrick my phone as my phone will not turn on it needs a Preloader for the phone to turn on.
My phone is being detected by my computer as it makes a sound when connecting the USB cable and also shows up in the Device Manager. Have also tried another computer and tried another USB Type-C cable but only receive BROM errors in the SP Flash Tool.
I have also uninstalled and re-installed the latest Mediatek drivers.
Any ideas?
I'm pretty sure it does have a preloader, since I have used it twice to install with SPFlash Tools.

This ROM does not contain a Preloader:
full rom V03 6/64GB Rom Ofifcial Stock
That ROM would work if your phone is turning on. My Maze Alpha X does not turn on at all hence the need for a ROM that has a Preloader so that I can get the phone to turn on again.
I have tried the ROM in the first post in this thread I keep getting "could not get PMT info" error messages in the SP Flash Tool. That ROM has a Preloader included.
I have installed the Mediatek drivers that are on the Maze Mobile Download Center and have tried different computers with different USB Type-C cables with no luck. My Maze Alpha X is still dead and won't turn on only the red charging light turns on and stays on when connected to USB or Mains. The charging light does not go green to show that the phone is fully charged even if the phone has been plugged in for 6 to 8 hours.
Any ideas?
Don't use the one provided by OP. Use the one I got from Maze, it's complete. Download here, it's the official version. I haven't tested the one provided by OP, but the one posted by me here is the one that works. You will find a folder named 18-02-06... and inside one named R14. There you will find all the files needed, including preloader. I have to warn you, though, you will lose IMEI by flashing it ( I don't know why) and the method to restore it is quite complicated, but I wrote it above. Good luck restoring your phone!

The charging light does not go green to show that the phone is fully charged even if the phone has been plugged in for 6 to 8 hours.
Any ideas?

Don't use the one provided by OP. Use the one I got from Maze, it's complete. Download here, it's the official version. I haven't tested the one provided by OP, but the one posted by me here is the one that works. You will find a folder named 18-02-06... and inside one named R14. There you will find all the files needed, including preloader. I have to warn you, though, you will lose IMEI by flashing it ( I don't know why) and the method to restore it is quite complicated, but I wrote it above. Good luck restoring your phone!

I have tried that link just now downloaded and installed everything properly followed the instructions to a tee but still get the same errors.
I have installed the Drivers that came with the ROM that you have given to me which like you said are official directly from Maze but this has not made a difference for my Maze Alpha X 64GB.
I tried flashing with the Maze Alpha Flash Tool but just receive a DA error:
I tried flashing with the SP Flash Tool but receive a failed to get PMT info error:
Any Idea as to what I am doing wrong here or is my phone just hard-bricked?
I have noticed that on SPFT you selected "firmware upgrade". You should use "format all and download". Maybe this fixes your problem. I am not that much of a techie but I hope you will solve your problem.

I'm sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, this forum seems dead and I can't help you, since I don't know that much either... It might help if you get to those phone servicing shops.
