Hey all,
In an attempt to load the custom ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658343 I kinda broke the phone.
Part of the steps is to flash the custom Recovery screen.
In the steps you use the Scatter file that's provided and load that up with the SP FlashTool.
Problem though is that I started to get the error SP FLASH TOOL ERROR : (8038).
I then read that by using MTK Droid Root & Tools, I could create a new Scatter file that would fix the error...
Created the new scatter file and then when I loaded it, I got the Big Green Circle saying everything was cool.
Rebooted the phone and it wouldn't come back on.
Crap.
Tried loading into the Recovery screen using the volume and power button, but nothing shows up on the screen.
Tried plugging it into my Win7 and WinXP computers but neither recognize the device and nothing shows up on the screen to say that it's charging.
Is this phone completely gone or is there something that can be done?
Old thread but somehow connected brand new experience to be documented:
What I just experienced was, after a cancelled attempt of flashing recovery, the phone was off and didn't go back on. I tried fiddling with the buttons and assumed it was bricked. Fortunately I didn't give up too soon. It was only after pressing the on button for a very extended time (>30secs?) that it came back to life. It didn't boot further than Wiko logo, but the key reactions were back to normal concerning reboot, booting recovery and cold start.
i have a tecno f8 device, it has MT6589 processor. The phone hanged one time and i forced restart it holding down the power button for about 10secs, unfortunately when the phone restarts, it kept coming on and off, and here is where i think i bricked the phone, the phone's battery was at 10%..i pulled the battery and loaded the cmw recovery plugged in the charger, and i tried reflashing my custom rom (miui v5).. the rom installed completely.. then i went to 'reboot now' from the cmw menu options, and then my phone refused to come on, its just dead, led light wont even come on if i plug the charger, and i cant boot into recovery.
i have been to a number of android developmental blogs trying to solve this issue, i even download the stock firmware and i tried flashing with sp flash tools, but i keep getting various brom errors, the 3149, 5069 no space errors.
can anyone pls help me get my phone back on?
Hello, after playing with my z90 (with the original rom that was Z90a40_USR_S118 international, bought in october 2015) I wanted to clean it up and make some updates. So I made my backups etc... Entered the recovery (not the green lenovo one wich is very limited) with hold vol - , I choosed to wipe (the phone was encrypted just to mention) all that I can and reset to factory, all was done but when it finished, it reboot and it stuck to initializing just after lenovo logo it reboot... initializing... and it s an inifinite loop. So I retryed to go to the maintenance recovery but it s not possible a black screen come and it reboot, I can go to the limited lenovo green recovery, but no factory reset, so I make the wipe datas etc... nothing... infinite reboot loop!
So I found some rom put them in the micro SD, go for an update.zip with the recovery, update work well but... initializing.... reboot...
Grrr, lenovo... So I take the big tools, installed a minimal win7 with qualcom drivers, lenovo ones, qpst. I tried many manipulation to enter the download mode with port com (I finaly managed multiple times with not the exact manipulation it s vol- + power + 10s and multiple spanning of the vol - button....) And I have succefully flashed multiple roms with qfil but with always the same results... initializing, reboot... I don t know where to search now, I someone can help me to find where to go, perhaps reflashing the recovery or I saw the .qnc in a russian forum but I can t understand one word.... 2 days of flashing make me hate my lenovo, my first brick with a phone . Any help?
Thanks,
sorry for my bad english

Hi,
here is my solution if can help.
I had on my vibe shot s208 rooted ROW. It stacked after SU update in boot loop.
1. I did wipe data without formatting from recovery mode (Vol+ and Vol- and Power button. When Logo is on release power button and hold Vol+ and Vol - until you are in recovery mode). STILL boot loop.
2. I did wipe data with formatting from the same menu. - STILL boot loop.
3. I did factory reset from recovery menu (Vol - and Power after logo is on release Power and hold Vol - until you get recovery mode) - STILL boot loop.
Then I did next:
1. I downloaded and installed QFIL (QPST_2.7.422) - I am not allowed to post links yet.
2. I have connected OTG adapter to phone. Phone was off.
3. then connected OTG to PC. It was some HDD activities but I did not hear any sound.
4. press Vol- for as long as something is going on - HDD activities. Then I think came up sound too - but not sure.
5. I had installed Qualcomm USB drivers from before I suppose.
6. Because I couldn't see my device as ...908 I disconnected and connected again usb cable... then I got my device as ...908 in device manager, but it was written "RECONNECTED" or similar in front of word "QUALCOM".
7. Then just follow instructions for QFIL. and ROM will be installed.
First I have installed INTERNATIONAL no root ROM. But because I needed phone to be rooted in order to use data recovery software I flashed again with s240 ROOTED. When I flashed second time I did not use OTG, just direct usb cable connection to PC, and my phone was again recognized after I reconnected usb cable and in device manger was "RECONNECTED" in front of word "QUALCOM".
Hello, thanks for replying. But I already tried all the roms with qfil, they were successfully installed as wtih miflash but I always got a initializing boot loop... Unfortunately I tried some other method, I successfully erase all partitions, I m now in 9006 mode with a long vibration on start and I cant do anything now No flashing works anymore... I ll try some stuff when I had a little time.
did you find a solution ?? , cause I have the same problem ... tried everything, adb or cwm recovery won't work cause my device is not rooted nor the usb debugging is on .. so am stuck with this "initializing loop".. flashing didn't solve it for me, I tried every ROM I could find, rooted or not .. nothing .... this problem happened with my phone after wiping user data and trying to restore QCN, cause before this problem I had another one with network services, tried to solve it, and here I am, from bad to worse
Hello,
I had the same problem. I tried with QFile and MiFlash but unfortunately without success. will you a track ?
I reinstalled the drivers QDLoader HS- USB Driver. I maintained volume + for 3 seconds , however, nothing happens ! (Before it worked ) I also tried adb reboot eld the prolème is the USBport phone is not known !
I followed the procedure of DejXDA carefully until the end staying press the VOL- the phone starts to recharging battery ... have you others sollutions ? thanks in advance.
Hey there !
Same problem for me... The solution may be to rebuild the partition table, but we need a working phone, and a backup with QPST.
Would anyone post a *.qcn file from his phone, made with QPST Software Download ? or a *.hex ?
And the user partitions ? Or a factory image (*.mbn) ?
Any gurus here, what would you advise for that problem ? Would using QPST properly work ?
Cheers !
Z90-7 (Z90a40) unbricked (at last...)
Hello!
After days and days of fails, my Z90-7 is unbricked!
How?
Just follow the OTG cable method, but copy in the SD card, in the sdfuse folder, this image:
Z90a40_S209_150716_ROW.qsb
You can download it from russian forum*, freely.
*I'm not allowed to post links, but enter the exact reference (Z90a40_S209_150716_ROW.qsb) in Google search (don't accept the Google's proposition to correct it), the link is the first answer. Use Google trad as I did if you don't speak russian .

Hi, I have the BLU Energy X, and I had flashed some ZIP mods via TWRP. I decided that I didn't want them, and read somewhere that I had to flash my phone using the stock ROM. I used the ROM from NeedRom here: needrom[.com]/ download/ blu-energy-x-e010q which should be the correct one for my phone. It also shows the . I installed proper drivers and flashed using smartphone flash tool. It completed, and I unplugged my phone and pressed the power button. Nothing happened. No combination of power and volume buttons turn this phone on. I have tried flashing again, and I got the error "BROM ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (0xFC0)". My phone does show up in Device Manager when I plug it in, as USB Serial Device (COM6) under the Ports category. Sometimes it will go in a loop of SHowing up then 3-5 seconds disconnecting from PC, then connecting again. Before I flashed I used the format option because I was getting an error, and that was the fix for it. The flash completed successfully. I did not touch the device while it was flashing, or the USB cable. I'm in grade 8 and I get a really allowance, so I couldn't buy this phone for about 8-10 months again, and I really want to avoid that. I am/was rooted, if that helps. Thanks everyone here in advance, and I really hope you guys know how to fix this! Thanks alot
Hello community,
I haven't posted here before, so I hope I'm not doing anything wrong.
I have a problem with my Neffos X1 and after browsing the internet for hours nothing helped so far, so I hope some of you can help me out.
My phone is stuck in a bootloop since yesterday evening. I haven't done any updates or new installations recently, so it just happened out of the blue. It loads till the Neffos logo and then restarts over and over again.
Since I can't take the battery out, I tried letting it run out of energy and then restart, but as soon as I connect it to a power source the bootloop will start again.
I read a lot about getting it in recovery mode or to try and flash it, but no matter what combination of buttons I try, nothing is happening. The phone basically doesn't react to anything and just keeps restarting. The only thing I noticed is, that when pushing both volume keys the screen will just stay black (no restarting), but after letting go the bootloop will start again.
I tried flashing it via SP Flash Tools, but the phone also doesn't react to it.
Lots of troubleshooting guides also require, that I have rooted my phone in the past, unfortunatly I haven't. I also read about unlocking the bootloader, but since my phone isn't reacting to any buttons and my laptop also doesn't seem to recognize my phone (probably because it doesn't boot proberly), that doesn't seem like a solution either.
To summarize: I'm stuck in a bootloop with no recovery mode, no rooting, no unlocking bootloader, probably can only use my laptop to do anything remotely.
So, is there anything you can think of, that might help me get out of the bootloop? Or ideas of what I may did wrong when trying the other solutions?
Thanks for any help in advance.

I have the same problem, I have tried all kinds of soft reset and nothing is working I also opened the phone to check if anything was not connected properly, but everything seems fine except for that infinite loop. Please help!

Try this
Download phone's Stock Firmware onto your personal computer.
Install the USB MTK Drivers - NOT ANY OTHERS (skip if you have them already installed).
Download and Launch the Smart Phone Flash Tool (SP Flash Tool)
Click the Scatter-loading button to navigate to the Stock Rom you just downloaded.
Select the Scatter File from the extracted Stock Firmware on your computer.
Select the Download Only in the SP flash tool option
Click the Download button to start the Formating process.
Connect your phone via USB to the computer>> holding volume + and volume – button of your phone at the same time or holding power button only so that the flashing process will starting working
Patiently wait for your device to be formatted.
After the formatting is done, a Big Green button will pop up on the SP Flash to show that.
Unplug phone and boot it up.
If you have a boot loop after booting your device, boot into recovery mode and do a factory reset.
Voila, you are all good.
