Good morning, everyone.
I have been frequenting this forum since the days when I had my trusty and beautiful HTC m8.
I find myself writing this post today looking for help: my uncle received from his friend a Doodgee x93 phone that was locked and whose unlock code he couldn't remember.
So I thought it would be simple, flash the ROM again so as to erase all the old data and reset the phone.
However, I found myself unable to do so.
After installing several versions of the drivers, in the various attempts, I used "SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1924_Win" with the only two firmwares available (any site always links to the exact same downloads) "Doogee_X93_MT6580_EEA_210902_10.zipper" and "DOOGEE-X93-Android10.0-20210902_user_20210902_R16.zipper".
The process stops at 2% without any error description.
In addition, the phone remains unusable, the screen does not turn on, and I cannot start recovery.
I then tried installing each file individually, and they all work except "super.img", which I assume are the android files given the weight of the 1.8Gb file.
Here I was able to turn it on, it did the boot android logo, then went to ">start fast boot.." but it never booted, surely because it couldn't find the rest of the files.
From the "MT6580_Android_scatter.txt" file, I tried editing the following.
"boundary_check: false" to true, but always to no avail.
I attach a screenshot and ask for your help, because I don't know how to proceed anymore, and all the online guides are the same copy/paste that don't work.
Thank you in advance
so you got a working phone and you bricked without doing research how to factory reset + reset FRP
Error: 3154 (S_DA_SDMMC_WRITE_FAILED) indicates flash storage wear-out.
you can however try another tool. do a full backup of all partitions first (especially partitions not included in stock ROM)

I thank you for responding, I have downloaded and set up everything, as soon as I have a moment I will try to use the software you linked.
The phone worked, but it was locked as the owner, a friend of my uncle who gave it to him, had changed it long ago and could not remember the code to unlock it.
It was not a problem to reset it as he had already taken out his things before changing it.
However, I actually looked at several guides and followed every step, I didn't make anything up.
It had been several years since I had last done it, it seemed very similar to when using odin, and I went easy.
I can see in your screenshot you haven't unticked checkbox preloader. therefore I doubt you found the right tutorial. All it needs is formatting userdata and erase metadata + frp partitions.

In the next few days I will have time to put in and try.
I have read the documentation, but I have a doubt: should I flash all *.img files, or just "super.img" which I failed with "SP Flash Tool"?
Or is there a command I haven't seen that automatically uses the "Android_scatter" file?
mtkclient don't use scatter file, it reads partition table on device. you can flash only super.img based on partition label.
Code:
python3 mtk w super super.img
Thanks for all the reply!
Im gonna watch all your link and in the next days let you know if it works! Meanwhile i wish you a good evening

Hello, after playing with a tablet I got boot loop so below is solution for this.
This is what I wrote first:
I purchased Chinese tablet called CyberNav, there is link to the website with specs http://www.dracotek.com/cybernav-7-...ps-navigator-ultra-slim-wifi-8gb-gps70yw.html It works great and is worth the money. I received- on request- firmware for it, but it is with .img extension and I have no idea how to get to the files. Attached application PhoenixCard should install it on sd card but it does nothing. So there is my question- can anyone help me with it? Possibly root it? Or update to newer firmware version? I'll post a link to, just need to upload it to my dropbox on my next break at work.
Sek
im pretty sure you need a 3rd party application to flash that firmware, i think you load the .img file into the software on your pc, connect tablet in flash/recovery mode then flash it that way, dont know which software you would need to use though , sorry i cant help further
There is link to rar package http://db.tt/jm7eHfbq
If there is someone who wants to spend some time... Please help.
Bump
Some new infos:
As far I found out tablet is detectable during boot in adb, but it stays in boot loop. I think I've got right usb drivers.
I tried unyaffs the .img file using C:/unyaffs/unyaffs pw08.img but it shows file corrupted (might be wrong method?).
Logcat attached.
Maybe there is someone who will find what it's missing...
I see there is nobody who can help me, so... If some of u have similar problem with chinese tablet- bootloop, can't flash it with LiveSuit our update from sdcard, I found solution which worked for me. Using adb, pulled catalog /dev/data/ to hard disk, then deleted all dalvik cache, installed by me apps and almost every other file from /data on my hard disk. Then typed adb remount, then adb shell rm -r /dev/data/* to delete all data catalog on tablet. Then pushed /data catalog from my hard disk to tablet, and finally adb reboot. And it WORKS! Booting without problems. I wasted 4 days on research how to turn it in flash mode etc. But it was very simple.
Cheers
Sek
Hi, sek111
It was necessary to use the LiveSuite to flash through usb.
Thank you very much, from your post, I found the firmware for my tablet.
An experience with another low cost tablet with Bootloop
I happen to got my tab (Wammy from WickedLeak.org) stuck in BootLoop and was struggling to get a way out for the past 3 days, checking almost all of the posts for this issue!
The tab would stuck on the android loading animation despite running for 2-3 hours and after several hard reboots, it throw-ed following error-
Encryption Unsuccessful
encrytion was interupted and cant complete. as a result the data on your tablet is no longer accessible
to resume using your tablet, you must perform a factory reset. when you set up your tab after the reset, u'll hav an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to ur google account

Click to collapse
Despite going for the factory reset, it still didn't workout as the reset activity never completed or proceeded. I happen to be a beginner/noob and was trying my luck with possible solution but was comfortable with ADB stuff and workaround. Well i checked the solution which sek111 offered in this post and it was most closely helped me out. So i would like to Thank him a ton for sharing his solution.
Another method for few others if you don't get through the technical stuff and handling all the flashing tools, i was successful in bringing up the setting window of my tab and chose to do Reset via GUI which worked. Actually my battery got drained out to 7% and a popup message for same displayed while i was on the above error page. I selected the "check battery" option from that pop up and got my way out via factory "Backup and Reset" option under settings.
I hope this might help few people if not all! But the XDA forum is great and everyone will find a solution here. Cheers!!!
So I got this wm8850 chinese generic tablet. The camera is in the front in the middle (wide). It was shipped to me with 4.0.3 in boot loop. I soon found out that it boots into safe mode when I usb to pc. This is the furthest I've gotten with it so far. I can adb into it and have already tried to wipe data. It seems like since its from factory screwed up that a may need to reload the firmware or the os or something. Im kind of a noob because I only have my droid x. I've gotten it out of a boot loop before but I also knew what I had done to cause it so I fixed it. I tried to follow seks adb commands but im too noob to do it I guess. I was able to wipe data and dalvik-cache. Issue still occurs . If anybody can give me some adb commands than can help I would greatly appreciate it. Im fairly sure that I found the firmware elsewhere on xda. I thank you guys for any help at all you can give. I don't wanna send it back without trying everything software related as I can, but ill send it back if I can't fix it or if I brick it

i have same problem in my china mobile.. dupad k1 ... after in installed new boot screen, device stuck in boot... please help to recover my device in step by step....
LG C800
Device will not enter fastboot.
Can't get into recovery mode.
Each time it boots it hard resets. There is an unofficial CWM Recovery Rom on this forum from chui101 which is for this exact phone, but I have as of yet not had any luck in getting the phone to take it.
So far i've tried Flash_image recovery.img (renamed chui's CWM recovery file to recovery.img)
Doesn't seem to matter what I do the phone starts(LG on screen), resets (the LG goes away for a sec then comes back), does a hard reset (a white box with an arrow pointing out of it an to a little android), again resets the phone one last time for a "normal" boot.
I've tried a few different things to try and flash anything overtop of the stock recovery but nothing works. It seems like very early in the bootstrap is a command to do a hard reset and anything that gets put in AFTER that command is ignored. (And the phone hard resets and anything else it was supposed to do is gone.)
Device is rooted with SuperSU.
Phone is fully functional except that it hard resets every boot, and if its plugged in when off it doesn't go to a charging screen, it starts the phone 100% up.
Adb devices CAN see the phone.
I CAN get into Download (sometimes called Emergency) mode.
"reboot recovery" doesn't do anything but reboot the phone as described above.
I can't afford a new phone guys, so I'm over a barrel at this point.
i'll pay whoever provides meaningful help in getting this thing fixed.
You should start fresh. So, flash the stock rom FTF of your phone, then the phone should boot up normally. Then you could either root it and install a CUSTOM recovery, or flash a pre-rooted custom kernel that already contains a recovery. From there, just flash the custom rom you want
Just press thanks if I helped, no need for money
stock rom FTF?
From the factory?
I'd love to do that. But am bewildered as to how when every guide I've found says use fastboot -- which doesn't work on my device. And every guide without fastboot thus far has not worked. I've been reading 10 hrs a day for the last 3 days looking for a solution to this.
If there was a way to completely wipe the entire phone and then install stock rom I'd be glad to do it.... I have found no such guide... only those to replace recovery. (not a 100% clearing as if it came right off the line with no software yet installed)
Additional information:
mv /system/recovery-from-boot.p /system/recovery-from-boot.p-bak
Spits out a "No such file or directory" error
I don't know about you, but for Xperia Devices there is a PC software called Flashtool to flash stock roms and custom kernels and stuff from the PC. There should also be a software like that for your device. You just download the stock FTF for your phone (just type in google "download stock FTF for LG C800") and flash it in Flashmode that should be working
One more thing, this issue is not called bricked
press thanks if i helped
There is an LG tool but it says current software is up to date.
Other option is run recovery, which just reboots the phone as is.
No, this software I am talking about is not made by LG or Sony in my case. It should be a general tool for all LG devices. it should root, flash, install busybox, etc......

LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL ?
Thats the one that so far doesn't work.
the one named:
KDZ_FW_UPD_EN ?
He doesn't appear to support GSM phones. Plus I hit "Read info from phone" button... it gets almost everything -- correctly -- then crashes.
IT wants kdz files... looking for them now... chui has a dl link for the stock recovery but even though its a few mb it looks like only a zipped folder hierarchy with no files.
Slightly mis-read. still not finding any "generic" flashing software
trying octopus now....
crashed....
run as admin..... ah... you need their hardware which is hundreds of dollars...
Flash image gui, phone is not supported.
ok, a couple cyanogen dev's have both told me i'm screwed. Imma try for the rest of today and then just never turn it off again.
ok, paying lg to fix it... anybody guess what that will cost?
Try flashing CyanogenMod on your phone as no stock firmware is avaiable currently for your phone cyanogenmod shall fix the problem and you should boot normally (first flash CWM)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752704 - flashing cwm recovery (do it!)
Flashing cyanogenmod (requires usb debugging on)
First to put the cyanogenmod rom in the sdcard use adb push - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667929

Page 2(The actual flashing part :victory - http://droidnoob.com/update-lg-c800-to-android-4-0-4-ics-via-cm9.html/2
Probably will fix the problem....
hi techmasta,
I'd love to flash cyanogenmod, but the phone never enters fastboot to flash anything. The first link you posted says to use fastboot. I can't do that. The phone doesn't goto fastboot, it runs its recovery first.
EDIT: if there is a way to force it while the phone is in download mode that could probably work.
secondly, I've spend more than 40 hours on this issue, mostly reading forums but still a great deal on google.
I'm pretty unhappy with google as neither of those droidnoob forums ever come up. And believe me, there isn't much out there referring to the lg c800 so they should have!
Hey Guys,
I tried to root my Samsung S4 GT-I9502 (OS Android 4.3), for that I found this website:
http://marrkdaviid.com/2013/08/fix-caller-id-install-google-play-on-the-galaxy-s4-i9502/
But it failed (more information below) and I had the following error message and no wifi.
I am able to put the device into download mode, though I keep getting this error message when I try flashing the device in Odin.
(here someone with a similar problem: http://androidforums.com/international-galaxy-s4-all-things-root/768632-sos-cannot-open-gt-i9502-after-failed-boot.html)
"Complete(Write) operation failed."
When attempting to flash the device, it quickly goes through boot.img, recovery.img and system.img (when it should take longer for each step, and you should see the little green progress bar move), before failing. Does this mean that Odin is having issues writing to the device?
I live in China and I just bought the phone, I needed 5 days to download the necessary files, because most download pages are blocked in China. So I am loosing my last nerve right now.
I am pretty confident that I have the correct Samsung drivers installed. I don’t have Samsung Kies installed. I have even tried using a different computer (Laptops), and two different ROMs.
I have tried flashing the below ROMs:
I9502ZNUCMG2_I9502CHUCMG2_I9502ZNUCMG2_HOME.tar.md5
I9502ZNUEMK3_I9502CHUEMK3_I9502ZNUEMK3_SVA.tar.md5
Someone with a the same problem tried the 'Firmware upgrade and initialization' option in Samsung Kies, but it didn’t work, so I didn’t try. (Here the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2382979)
Instead I tried a recovery. I used Odin 3.07 and the following file:
i9502-cwm-recovery.tar.md5
I got my phone back to work for a while, I reset the phone, just in case. But know I can’t switch the Wifi on and the phone wants to Reboot.
So I allowed the phone to Reboot, I clicked on “reboot system now” and then on “Yes – (I forgot what was written behind the Yes, but I didn’t just click on the normal Yes, I clicked on the Yes - …)
The problem here: The Phone changed to a China Unicom Screen and stayed like that. After 5 h I took the battery out, but I couldn’t restart the phone.
So I did an cwm recovery and know I am afraid to reboot. The Wifi is not working and I can’t find any information about how to fix it.
So please help me. Do I reboot? Can I already install SVA ROM, although I couldn’t flash the Stock Firmware? Do I send the phone back and give up?
Please let me know if you need any other information to be able to help me.
PS: This is the first time that I flash a smart phone. And although I already spent several days now, searching the internet for how-to-dos, tips & tricks, guidelines, Q&As and god knows what, I still do not fully understand what exactly I am doing here. Hence, I would be very happy to receive somewhat easy understandable answers.
Thank you so much for your help!

Hi. I have spent the past 10 hours trying to root my phone and install an XtraLite type of ROM because I am so sick of have 75% of my RAM used up when I haven't even started using the phone. I softbricked my phone, and after hours of trying to solve every minor issue that came up I finally found a solution and managed to flash a stock ROM. I have a lot of questions that I would love to get answers to because I am a little bit confused right now.
My history.
Bootloader
I spent so much time googling this and I decided to trust one site that said, if you can't find the "OEM Unlocked" option in "Developer Options" then your bootloader is probably already unlocked. This was the closest I got to an answer, along with many people with SM-G925F saying the root was successful for them without doing something to their bootloader. Can someone please clarify what I need to do with the bootloader with my EU SM-G925F?
Flashmode/Download Mode
Prior to this I spent very long trying the "adb-windows reboot bootloader/flashboot-windows oem unlock" without any results. However I somehow came to the conclusion that "Download" mode for my Samsung was no different. Any clarification on this subject please?
Rooting
The first rooting guide I trusted was the CF-Auto-Root page. This is where the bootloader question was raised but as I came to the conclusion that the bootloader already was unlocked, I decided to give it a shot. I downloaded SM-G925F file, added it to AP on Odin, and flashed my phone. Now my phone was locked in a bootloop. According to CF-Root page "A modified recovery and cache partition will be flashed, which will install (only) SuperSU, then clean-up the cache partition and re-flash the stock recovery. For the root to work, the device must reboot into recovery. Most devices will do this automatically after flashing these files, but in case that does not happen, please boot into recovery manually.". As you probably guessed, my phone never booted into recovery mode, and I was never able to manually do it either since the phone was in a unstoppable bootloop. Did I do something wrong here or misunderstand anything?
ROM Instructions
My first choice was: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...xtrestolite-deodexed-mod-edition-1-3-t3119968
I failed the first step, never even managed to root with CF-Root. And regarding TWRP, I did download the correct version "twrp-3.0.0-0-zerolteeu" I assume. However, many descriptions say my phone needs to be rooted before I can install TWRP so I never tried to install it. Even if, I couldn't find a detailed enough description of how to install TWRP. All it says is "flash it". Problem is, I am not sure if I am supposed to be in "Download mode" and use Odin loading TWRP into "AP" or how does this work?
Never got to the ROM installing, but it would be nice to have something more detailed than "Put it on your phone, install it". Like, do I enter recovery mode and navigate to the rar file and chose to install it? Not sure how this works.
My solution to bootloop
This part took me the longest. For those stuck in a bootloop. Holding DownVolume + Power button for at least 15 sec will simulate disconnection of the battery. This helps you turn you device off. Also, if you nothing happens, make sure you unplug the USB cable as it keeps trying charge and show the status it tries to boot and keeps looping as a result. I could always manage to get into "download mode" through DownVolume + Home Button + Power Button no matter what, and I am grateful for that. I managed to find the exact build I was using on my phone "G925FXXU3COJ1_G925FOJV3COJ1_G925FXXU3COI9_HOME". But everytime I tried to flash, it always failed in the end. I spent hours on google. Someone mentioned something about it failing on a certain point of the writing, involving hidden.img. I googled for info on how to resolve this, and someone suggested to rename hidden.img to hidden.tar but it did not help. I also read some threads regarding using a matching PIT file and there were about 7 different ones to chose from. I tried them all without success. Finally I read something about removing hidden.img from the ROM. I renamed the ROM from .tar.md5 to .tar. Unpacked it, and then repacked it without hidden.img using tar-Tool from these forums. The following flash of the new created tar.md5 (without hidden.img in it) was successful.
Slave for stubborness
Unfortunately since I spent so long getting through this horrible experience, I would feel bad have wasted an entire day just to get a phone that is now reset. I could have done that in 30 seconds. However I am persistent to get this working and I am truly grateful for any help you people can supply my with. I did manage to root and ROM my old S3 but that was a while ago and I only remember a few small things about Odin and so forth. However things seem much more complicated now than before.
Thank you in advance,
Alex
Hello,
The last week or so I have been trying to flash TWRP onto my Samsung Galaxy A40 (SM-A405FN) to install LineageOS. However, as I started following different guides and methods I have run into several problems that I can't get around and I was wondering if anyone here has had a similar experience or knows the solution.
The first problem I ran into was that when trying to flash onto the phone, neither ADB nor Fastboot detected the phone in download mode (when it was turned on normally they did). I tried various things to solve it: uninstalling and reinstalling different drivers, trying to find the device in device manager (it wasn't there) and nothing worked. I got around it, however, using Odin to flash. Odin did recognize the phone. I had already unlocked the bootloader and made sure VaultKeeper didn't lock it again. I believe it is fully unlocked now, I have even waited the week period to remove the RMM thing (I'm not entirely sure what it is and if I've done it properly, it's been a while since I've messed with android, but it used to display "KG state: checking" and now it's gone).
So, with Odin recognizing the phone I tried to flash the official TWRP recovery for it, following the instructions on the website. However, after flashing it, the phone bricks and boots into download mode all the time, with the error "Error validating footer (6)" on the top left corner. I have googled far and wide and the only solution I find is to reflash the stock ROM. Of course, this works, but I would like to be able to install LineageOS on the phone.
Thank you for in advance and let me know if you need more information or pictures of some sort.

Hello,
You can try the tuto on the following link:
It's for samsung A20, but you can apply the same practice for the samsung A40.
The first part of this tuto is woking for me (TWRP) but not the last one: "Rmm bypass"
Best regard's, Gregory
