Hi there!
I ported this TWRP recovery from Mi pad 3 and it works perfectly! It was tested on official firmware TOS-V2.01-A921 (Phoenix OS), I don't know will it work on older firmwares or not (try at your own risk). All user data and storage will be fully erased!
Step 1
First of all you need to unlock bootloader. It's required ADB to be installed on your PC, because it will be done via fastboot.
Follow this steps:
-connect the tablet to pc, (first you have to enable OEM unlocking and USB debugging in Developer options)
- reboot the tablet in fastboot mode, hold buttons “power+Vol +” at startup, choose fastboot mode with Vol+ button, valid with Vol-
- open a command prompt in adb folder, then “fastboot devices”, then “fastboot oem unlock”, it should say “OKAY, finished”
Now it's done.
Step 2
Download this archive and unpack it (contains everything you need) - https://mega.nz/#!C1w0GaAI!Zw1QXuAgBLNOjymsWanQPuoKr8N6IhPAhuZy1yjlv-k
- Install MTK drivers
- Click on Flash_tool.exe
- Select "scatter-Loading" and search MT8173_Android_scatter.txt
- Press "recovery" and add path (choose) recovery file - TWRP 3.2.3
- Select "Download Only"
- Turn off your tablet and wait some seconds
- Press “Download” button in FlashTool programm to start
- Connect your tablet into the computer via USB data cable holding volume + button (do not press power button!).
- The process will start and a red progress bar will appear after color purple, yellow. Finally, green circles should display.
That's all. Now you should flash TWRP: hold buttons “power+Vol +” at startup, choose recovery mode with Vol+ button, valid with Vol- (alike in step 1)
If you face Error message like this:
BROM ERROR : S_DL_GET_DRAM_SETTING_FAIL (5054)
Obtain DRAM Failed!
Please check your load matches to your target which is to be downloaded.
Do this steps: choose scatter load -> load TWRP file ->[/B ]Push download button -> plug in the usb cable without pushing volume up
Step 3
Now it is required to format internal storage to be displayed properly (you will see 0 mb storage size). Just go to wipe section and choose "wipe data" option (write "yes" on keybord and accept).
After this reboot recovery ( go to reboot section -> reboot recovery)
Step 4
Connect tablet to PC and copy Magisk package to internal storage (Magisk should be flashable via TWRP in .zip format and can be found in appropriative thread). I've succesfully installed Magisk v17.1.
Afterwards, go to install section -> install package and reboot device (no wipes after installation are required). If it will ask for installing TWRP app , just cancel that.
All above-described actions should be fully completed, sure nothing is missed ! Because in this case your tablet will not boot!
So, that's all ! Let me know if you face any issues. Enjoy

Try to install drivers for win 10 from: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1982587. For me it works perfectly on win 7,8. But it is recommended to use version of SP flashtool I attached here for our device.

Looks that this issue is caused by very unfortunate folder naming in zip archive. Remove "," from folder names and you should be fine . Just remember to do that also for folder T8 TWRP RECOVERY - otherwise you will face "scatter file invalid" error later.
hello sword900,
i have downloaded your mtkflash tool but i have always an issue with the download of your recovery to the tablet.
every time, i have an flash error 4051 dram or so.
i have many tried this with different mtk drivers and disabling windows driver signature but it wont work.
after that i have installed the last official firmware V2.01-A921.
the installation was successful and that approved that my setup is ok.
i think there is a mistake between the recovery file and the scatter information.
have you any idea, what i can do to solve this problem?
thanks in advance
dreas
ok, i have found the solution. with an other flash tool and scatter file it works.
now i have tried the asus and stock rom.
it seems to be that the asus rom has gps funktionality. nice!

Yeah, this recovery works only on last firmware TOS v2.01. As I know, our device is not supplied with GPS module, so it won't work. Anyway let me know about your experience after testing my ROMs

Tried somebody this solution on 1.10? Will it work, or i have to update to TOS-V2.01-A921?

You can try this but I don't think stock firmware will boot after this. So, you can install twrp and flash custom ROM. Anyway all your data will be lost...

:good: Thank you! I don't want to use the original, I want to use your asus rom, just asked it because i want to know that the 2.01 is necessary or not.
Excuse my bad English!
Another question... if i want back the original 1.10, i only need install it via SP flash tool?

Just read some previous posts, it should help. Remove all commas,spaces etc in all folders' names. If not - try to use another scatter file and version of SP flashtool.

Could you please refer to other scatter files that may work? I have tried with SP flashtool v 5.1824 aswell, but it's the same error there.
If I remember correctly, I did it that way:
scatter load->Twrp load->Push download button->without push volume up, plug in the usb cable
Try this, if nothing else can help.

Earlier today I bricked my Padfone 2 by installing 3rd part font. After a reboot to apply the changes, it got to the boot logo but never any further.
I got it up and running again, :victory: and to those out there in same or similar situation, here's a tutorial on what I did:
Before we start, there's a few things you need;
1.1 Latest ADB version (I used 1.0.31) [ATTACHED]
1.2 Latest Fastboot version [ATTACHED]
1.3 CWM Recovery [ATTACHED]
1.4 Latest ASUS USB Drivers (available from ASUS Support site) [ATTACHED]
1.5 Padfone 2 Firmware (available from ASUS Support site)
*** NOTE: For ease of use, place extract and place all of the above to the same folder.
*** NOTE: Inside the Padfone 2 Firmware ZIP file, there's another ZIP file. This is the one we need! The one I used was called "WWE_A68-10.4.15.1-0-ota-user.zip"
*** NOTE: This method does not install CWM Recovery on your phone, it only boots it temporarily.
If you have all of the above, continue to step 2;
2.1 Booting your Padfone 2 into Fastboot mode
2.2 Press and hold Power + Volume up buttons
In Fastboot mode, connect your phone to your computer and launch cmd. Wait for windows to install necessary drivers if needed.
3.1 Navigate your CMD to the folder containing ADB, Fastboot and CWM Recovery (recovery.img)
3.2 In CMD type:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
In the CWM Recovery on your phone, select the option titled "Install ZIP from sideload".
Use the volume keys to navigate and select by pressing the power button.
4.1 In CMD, transfer the Padfone 2 Firmware by typing
Code:
adb sideload [firmware-file-name.zip]
- Example from my case, I wrote:
Code:
adb sideload WWE_A68-10.4.15.1-0-ota-user.zip
4.2 When it is done, you'll be presented with CWM Recovery's screen again, select "Reboot system now".
4.3 CWM Recovery will present you with a warning saying: "ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix?" - Select "NO".
If you are experiencing problems with driver installation, you can fix it manually. If windows installed the drivers correctly, skip this step. To solve this, go to device manager by entering the Start menu, right-click Computer and select “Manage”. Select the Device Manager.
You should see a failed device named A68. Right-click it and select “Update device software”
Select “Browse my computer for driver software”
Select “Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer”
Select “Have Disk”
Now browse and navigate to the folder you extracted your ASUS USB Drivers to and select the file named “android_winusb.inf”
Select “ASUS Android ADB Interface” and install.
All done! You should have a working Padfone 2 again!
Please note that you may need to root your phone again.

As far as I know, the QHSUSB_DLOAD error is hardware related and cannot be fixed by normal means. I believe it requires some special hardware or flash tool or something.
You could try manually installing the Asus USB drivers by following the last step and see if that works?
In any case, the tutorial only fixes software based issues.
Mine got totally bricked some time ago. Somehow the mainboard was fried and needed replacement.
It didn't react in any way when trying to power it on. If i plugged in the charger, it would get pancake-making hot!
Asus dispatched a UPS guy to pick it up and send it for repair. When the mainboard is fried like mine was, they can't tell if it were rooted or not, so they had to repair it.
All in all, I had a great experience with ASUS warranty

Your issue should be fixable!
I'm assuming your bootloader is unlocked?
Was the
Code:
adb sideload WWE_A68-10.4.15.1-0-ota-user.zip
successfull?

Yes, bootloader is unlocked
Yes, adb sideload is working via CWM but tried it with the latest firmware update (WWE_A68-10.4.17.7-0-ota-user.zip) from asus.com after renaming the file to "WWE.zip" for shorter cmd lines
Anything else needs to be checked?

Tried that at the very beginning.
That issue has started after I installed GPS Status - Test and Fix https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cochibo.gpsstatus&hl=en as part of getting a better GPS performance I have reset GPS and then Get Xtra data but after restarting, it never loaded the system. I hope this helps identifying the issue
I might try this way as a final try

I wouldn't recommend doing an SKU conversion. There might be (not sure) a slight difference in hardware in the different areas. I know products sold in China sometimes aren't up to spec with the rest of the world in order to keep prices down and sales up, for an example.
So if the voltage settings are a little off in comparison to your hardware, it might get fried.
That being said, your issue is a weird one. It sounds like software malfunction, easily solvable with a reset or sideloading firmware, forcing me to wonder if your device have been flashed with a different SKU or, perhaps, have a hardware malfunction.
For now all I can come up with is; repeat the process. Give it reasonable time to boot up, 10 mins. should be more than enough. If there's still no progress, enter recovery and clear the cache and try booting up again.
Otherwise I'm stumped.
Might be time to consider the RMA option?
A lot of Padfone 2's are born with a eMMC fault - so it could be related?
Fixed, wipe data partition (from stock recovery ONLY) what an intermittent issue
Thanks..... it was wery usefull
There's another way to un-brick.
The first day I received my Padfone 2, after only 6 hours I got it really badly bricked. No button combination would work, all I got was "invalid kernel"
On Modaco there's a thread http://www.modaco.com/topic/365818-padfone-2-invalid-kernel/?p=2191432 that worked very well, even a self-proclaimed noob as myself could finally get it together. It was amazing as I thought I had to send the Phone back to Germany (from Portugal)
For those who prefer the German language: http://www.android-hilfe.de/asus-padfone-2-forum/531509-bricked-invalid-kernel-2.html
credits go to Paul O'brien and manu7irl who posted this solution on MoDaCo and Vakilando on Android-Hilfe who inspired me to give it a second try.

Hi i m starting this thread only for Mediatek users who wants to root their mtk device. Its not that difficult
Mtk devices are good because you can get the stock recovery without rooting thats a huge advatage ok

(Also same place you got link to download MTK Droid Tools. Just wanted to make sure credit is given where its due, without Rua1 we would still be stuck with no root on alot of Mediatek devices!)
But I think this one is nice and clear! It's really helpful thank you.

HELLO FRIENDS...
Many friend have face this problems i.e no recovery,no splash screen,no system only just a small vibration this is know as Hard-Brick..
This method will 100% works for both Lenovo a6000 and plus...
for this we need the following things....
Firmware-File
QPST Tool
and well working computer or Laptop..
Thing want to know before starting...
We will not use QPST tool for flashing this is optional. After installing QPST tool the error face by most computer will be fixed error like MSVCP100.dll error mostly this problem is face by 64bit OS..If you have installed 64bit try it if it's works then good if not then use your friend's PC which have 32bit OS or install 32bit OS
We will use flash tool which already given in Firmware zip.
Let's Start...:laugh:
After downloading the firmware You'll get firmware folder and Qualcomm Flash Tool and most important drivers folder there will be more files but no use of those file.
STEP 1.First extract this above 3 file in a folder where you want...then click on driver folder and then click on Qualcomm_USB_Driver_Setup.exe......setup will start...select the first option(WWWAN.DHCP........) and then next...further you can do.. while installation if a pop-up comes click on yes(all ways click on yes) after completion of driver installation please reboot or restart you are pc or laptop ..:good:
STEP 2...click on Qualcomm Flash Tool->QcomDLoader.exe if it start then good....and if there is an error like MSVCP100.dll not found or something else
then install QPST tool and run it. After opening it now close it.....Now again click on QcomDLoader.exe this time it will work:good:
then click on Load button(the first icon of the tool) then browse the firmware folder where u have extracted...then click on start(the 3 icon of the flash tool)
STEP 3:..Now remove Your sim card and memory card(if u don't have this then also remove your battery and then put it again)...
Now hold volume+ and volume - button(do not touch power button) and plug in vie usb... the flash will automatically start....
wait till it complete...after finish it will show finish in green color...then unplug the phone and hold power button to start...
This method is same for Lenovo a6000 plus the only different will be....it will show 1GB ram and 8GB internal storage
To fix this install any custom rom..,:good:
This method is tasted by me and it work for me I have Lenovo a6000 plus that's why I am sharing this with you all....
NOTE:-after coming back to KitKat you may face the problem of boot loop for 7.x.x rom or some feature of the rom may not work..to overcome this problem follow this
download this twrp KitKat version(not so important) you can use cwm(not tested) and direct flash the lollipop rom which contain system.img file in it eg. vibe 2.5(tested and works) ,color os 3.1 or any rom which contain system.img and reboot.:good:
do not use any pach file for upgrading to lollipop do direct flash lollipop rom.
I hope this will also work for you...

If you can't enter recovery your simplest method would be flashing recovery through fastboot mode..
THIS GUIDE DOES NOT APPLY TO THE HARD BRICK, WHERE FASTBOOT DOES NOT WORK!!!
1) Download MI Flash: https://xiaomiflashtool.com/ (i downloaded mine from here.)
2) Download phone's original firmware. https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/ (search the phone and select rom depending on your country.)
Remember to download the fastboot firmware.
3) Extract firmware to a folder, like this:
{
"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"
}
I used 7-zip.
4) Open MI Flash and let it install all the drivers needed.
5) Reboot your phone into fastboot mode (hold power key + vol down key) and plug it into your computer.
6) In MI Flash select the folder when you extracted the firmware.
7) Click refresh and make sure the program detects your phone.
8) Down the window, select clean all (otherwise it will lock the bootloader)
9) Click Flash.
Done.
NOTE: if the program displays an error "error: no command fastboot lock /s" don't worry about it. The system will work anyways.
NOTE: recovery gets replaced by the stock one
NOTE: you can just use the flash_all.bat file to flash it, but i recomend using the program. The .bat file also did not work for me.

There's no explanation about that in the 1st Post nor in other previous posts (that if the Boot Loader is locked then anybody doing this guide as it is being told, will surely find those error like me (Critical partition flashing not allowed),
so no wonder I get that error.
But then,... (before I tried this guide), it was because, after I did Factory Reset and Wipe Data) my phone was stucked on "MiUI 11 Logo' (on white background -where I can change Language and font size, but no further from that), (that's why then I tried this guide),,.. so (my point is) there's no way I can Unlock the Boot Loader first.
So, then, I try a step I watched on YouTube.
I put off the phone's back case, disconnected the battery, and so on and so on just like the video told, (EDL Flashing).
Success. (at least that was what the MiFlash Tools app told me on my PC screen)...
Put on everything back, try to turn on my phone.. but now it is doing boot loop... (and worse,.. now the boot loop is on MiUI logo with black background, even before where it was at the 1st time)
Can somebody help me?
If you can enter fastboot mode, use fastboot oem device-info to check the status.

First of all, thanks for your kindness to help me.
and, Yes I often edit my post, because my English is not good and I did many mistyping. (sorry).
I edit it to make it better and clearer (for anybody who'd like to help me, like you.. Thanks again in advance).
----------
*I cannot enter Fastboot now, because it seems there's other problem, that is, I ruin the plastic power & volumes buttons (maybe when I took off the back case) somehow, they don't work now.
*I didn't and haven't try that Xiaomi Official UnlockTool, because like I said in my previous post, I didn't know that to do the guide in the 1st post in this thread, my phone has to be in UBL condition first. And I was in condition where I couldn't enter my phone (to login to Xiaomi ID on my phone, for example).

The problem in the OP is that it is not specified that the bootloader must be unlocked to use MIFLASH.

yes.
(or perhaps, also mention that the Locked one still can use MIFLASH, only if they doing the EDL steps).
now I don't know what should I do to fix my phone (Redmi 5a) and make it work again.

Yeah, I'm still waiting for my payday LOL...
Actually I'm in series of bad luck,.. I lost my previous phones, (a redmi Note 10),, so I have to re-use this my old Redmi 5a blue phone, just after my other, the silver (redmi 5a too) was its screen suddenly cannot be touch when I used it as my first emergency replacement.
Hello all, I've been trying to install /e/ os GSI on my Redmi Note 11S. I already unlocked the bootloader.
Whenever i tried flashing system.img, (with boot.img patched manually via fastboot, not via a custom recovery), the phone would only boot fastboot. So I tried installing this custom recovery, and patch boot.img from there, but that still wouldn't work (though the recovery at least worked). So I tried installing the stock ROM, and try something else.
I went with latest fastboot EEA image and ran flash_all.sh (worked last time I tried), but this time I got an error (something about partition preloader not found). So I restarted the phone after which it got stuck in this bootloop. Can't boot into fastboot, nor recovery. Instead, the phone keeps flashing the mi logo on and off every 5 seconds. fastboot on my Linux install can't detect the phone. My Windows 10 install can't find it either, though it plays the "device connected" sound followed by the "device disconnected" sound shortly after. I can't turn the phone off either. Windows 10 USB drivers worked, or at least when I was unlocking the bootloader, so I don't think the issue is there. Any idea how to fix this?
Thank you in advance
Edit: Typos. Also I noticed that it only plays the "device connected" and "disconnected" sounds on Windows 10 only when i hold down the power and vol- buttons.
UPDATE: This tool can at least detect the phone, though I do get this error afterwards:

UPDATE: Managed to get FASTBOOT back, thanks to this kind stranger (system is still unbootable).
UPDATE: IT'S ALIVE! Did a quick install_all.sh on the stock ROM, and it's working again! Thank you all for helping me resolve this problem
no idea
Normally you use flashall.bat and not .sh, try using flashall.bat and hopefully you'll get out of the bootloop.
Try following my "how to fix bootloop" guide again, atleast till step 4 when you get the fastboot mode back up again.

Could you send a link to the guide please? The only guide I could find on your profile is the one with the rooting, which is among the first guides I tried and it was the one to get me into this situation. Note that in your guide, it appears that you can at least get to the FASTBOOT screen, which I can't. My phone just stays on the logo for 5 seconds before rebooting, and no matter which buttons I press or hold, I can't get it to go to the FASTBOOT screen.
Also, what's the difference between flash_all.bat, and flash_all.sh, aside of one being for Linux and the other for Windows?

Press and hold all the 3 buttons, vol +, vol - and power button at the same time, till you see the phone switched off for a few seconds.
Then press the power and vol - button to get to the fastboot mode.
About the flashall.bat, I completely forgot that you were using Linux my bad.
Also sometimes some drivers don't work well in Linux try using windows.
Did you follow the guide which was at the end of this?

Yes, that's the one, and it won't go into fastboot.
Isn't /e/ Murena GSI just android 10? I am pretty sure it won't work. I had the same problem, but I fixed it by installing stock ROM..
And that /e/ GSI is not actively developed and not even in beta stage (not usable at most cases)
Don't use SP Flash tool for full flash this phone seriously, Sp flash tool will make your phone stuck in recovery miui and show Nvdata Corrupted even you choose download only mode.
for now try to use mtkclient to flash boot.img only to both side A&B.
move your boot.img to mtk client folder
open cmd on that folder
type this command:
Code:
python mtk w boot_a,boot_b boot.img,boot.img
and try turn on your phone.
if still can't boot try to flash one by one img from your firmware
I has your same problem. Just hold the vol- for more than your usually Need and should boot into fastboot and than you flash with flashall.bat
I've sucessfully restore my phone and work as normal.

Thank you so much, it worked!!!
I think. It's now at least on the FASTBOOT screen, which is progress. And the MIUI recovery is now back as well. While the system is still unbootable, I think I can take it from here. Thank you

That's the first thing I tried, and no luck. But I fixed it now (I think).
Very welcome, Glad to hear that
Note for everyone:
Backup this partition it's very important.
nvcfg.img, nvdata.img, nvram.img, persist.img, proinfo.img, protect1.img, protect2.img, md1img.img
Thats all partition about imei, security and network configuration for ur device. CMIW.
mtkclient also can do that,
and it's the clue:
Code:
python mtk r nvcfg,nvdata,nvram,persist,proinfo,protect1,protect2,md1img nvcfg.img,nvdata.img,nvram.img,persist.img,proinfo.img,protect1.img,protect2.img,md1img.img
Check ur mtk client folder, now you got the back up.
u can also use this Partitions Backup & Restore this tool don,t need PC for backup and restore, but i'm not really sure can be work perfectly. i just try for boot partition and its worked.

I myself did it with the terminal and on Linux. I didn't use the GUI, so I can't help with that. Could you send a higher res picture of the terminal please? We can't really see anything.
If you're doing this on Windows, then my guess is a driver issue (I did have to install a special driver for Windows to work with Fastboot, could be that mtk needs it too).
Hi All,
I unbricked my phone by using fresh release of mtkclient (https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient).
