[Q] Help Needed_ZTE v967s

Hi Guys,
I have a problem with my ZTE v967s, if you have any advice, I would really appreciate it!.
How did the problem appear:
1. My phone gave me an error that I have insufficient memory (apps had just few hundred MB, 1 GB was "Missing") so I assumed that it is probably a log file which was soaring and cutting my memory)Phone also had problem to start, I had to restart it few times will the android loaded properly (I assumed it was from the insufficient memory)
2. I have tried following:
a. Factory reset -> it didn’t work, It just restarted to phone.
b. Recovery mode - I wasn’t able to get in to it by holding "Vol+" + "Power" (I should have CWM installed, I did it when I had the phone new together with Max Flavor ROM.
c. I tried following tutorial http://kumaravel-s.blogspot.com/2013/09/storage-space-running-out.html (basically deleted data/log_other_mode)
After the deletion of data/log_other_mode, my phone doesn’t load at all. I either freeze on ZTE logo or it gives me error "encryption unsuccessful reset android" (button reset doesn’t react), lately, it just gives me the ZTE logo
What I tried to solve the problem:
Downloaded SPFlashTool backup ROM from Carliv (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2393986 ) and I tried to flash it in to my ZTE using SP Flash Tool. First 2 steps (red, purple) went ok, the third one (yellow) freezes on 0% and eventually it gives me error "BROM ERROR : S_DA_SDMMC_WRITE_FAILED (3149)"
Screen:
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Same error when I flash whole ROM or just Recovery.
Drivers should be ok, I followed this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2206421
Have somebody had this problem? Do you have some advice what might help?
Thank you!

MT7-L09: Phone Unlocked BUT command not allowed when flashing

Hi,
I never saw this problem
My phone is unlocked (since a year more or less) and I can't install TWRP nor CWM. I tried many tutorials such as all the root methods listed on XDA for this smartphone.

There might be a problem with your drivers. You can try uninstalling and reinstalling them. Also, try using fastboot commands manually
Sent from my Mate

unlock again

Thank you. I'd like not to have to relock it as it's already done and rooted. Could you please tell me what drivers to install? I tested many of them (https://i.imgur.com/wBgsezr.png) but it seems I don't have the right ones then.
I'm using Win7 64bits.
Thanks again!

Use adbdriveinstaler and when it's install you can push recovery to add folder and try this command
cd C:/adb
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Change name your twrp or cwm to recovery
Send frome globe

Okay. Here we go
ADB driver installed (https://i.imgur.com/PWrZoHH.png)
Went to flash and... still not allowed.
And in fastboot/rescue mode on my phone it's written PHONE Unlocked.
WTF
BTW, is there any other way to upgrade the phone? Cause every time I go to the software update in the menu i'm told it's up-to-date, but it's not... Android 4.4.2 & EMUI 3.0.
I read about a "local update" but can't find out how to update from the SDcard, I only have OTA.

[Solved] Can't enter Download mode in Samsung A90

Post resolved, turned out that phone was a fake chinese one. No way to unbrick it as there is no known OS to flash it.
--------------------------
Ok, some backstory a friend brought this phone from Peru to Argentina (so I'm assuming it's a SM-A908B global version), seems network wasn't working, so someone tried to "fix" it and sort of bricked it. I said, ok give it to me and I'll just flash an official firmware to bring it back to life. But I can't enter download mode.
-Phone turns on but it's stuck in logo screen (I noticed from some videos that their phone has a 5G after A90)

-Turning it off and pressing volume up + volume down and putting usb cable goes to "Factory" (This also happens when powering off and powering on with volume down + power button)
Spoiler
-Volume up + power button goes to this:
Spoiler
Then you can access fastboot and recovery mode
Spoiler
-From recovery menu, "reboot to bootloader" takes you to fastboot, so it's the same as the second option from the previous menu.
-Bonus image from "root integrity check" where we can see that previous person tried to change IMEI and ****ed up
Spoiler
So far I tried:
-A basic wipe data/factory reset, but obviously it didn't work.
-Extracting recovery.img from AP_A908BXXU4CTL3_CL20174301_QB36568574_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta_OS10.tar (and extracting from lz4) and flashing it via fastboot, but it fails as it says it doesn't have permission to flash recovery.
-The same with System.img extracted from the AP file, but fastboot flash just fails (I could try to do this via adb in recovery, but I would like a second opinion here).
Any help would be very welcomed. How to get access to download mode to flash an official firmware, or how to flash a odin firmware via recovery mode (I tried searching for this but couldn't find much).

What happened for this to report modified file ??

Are you asking about the log of "root integrity check"? I don't know what the previous person tried to do with the phone, probably tried to root it and failed. Looks like some system files were modified

@Zero.G
Use Samsung ODIN to fix phone.

Of course, that IS my idea, but i can't use odin because i can't enter download mode

asus zenfone 4 a400cg hard brick

my zenfone 4 problem:
it is charging but i am stuck at asus logo with rotating circle and whenever i am trying to get into droid boot it is showing an android with yellow helmet

As long as a phone powers on it's NOT hardbricked, but softbricked if Android doesn't get properly started.

even if it is soft bricked i am not able to get into recovery mode this was showing:

Re-flash phone's STOCK ROM.

damn, i am not able to get into fastboot dude that's what it is all about if i would be able to get into fastboot i would have flashed my phone long time ago.when i ty to get into fastboot android sign with yellow helmet appears.
My zenfone 4 problems:
access to droidboot or recovery (stuck at android icon with a yellow helmet), so i cant flash a rom or firmware.
Tried different combo keys, but always stuck with that android icon.

You typically re-flash a STOCK ROM by means of ADB Sideload method.

ook so for using adb sideload method u need to get into droid boot what i am saying it i am not able to get into droid boot mode and everytime i try an android sign with yellow helmet appears.

You are absolutely WRONG.
What you have to do is running ADB commands as follow
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot sideload
adb sideload <FULL_PATH_TO_STOCK_ROM_ZIP_FILE_ON_PC_HERE>

i am noob please can u tell me the steps elaborately OKAY,
NOW I HAVE GOT IT BUT IS NOT SOWING ANY DEVIICES I HAVE CONNECTED MY MOBILE SEE:

Then you obviously never have enabled USB Debugging on phone what is prerequisite to run ADB commands.

Do you want to be able to modify your system partition(including rooting the device) at some point in the future? If so, check the box beside the "never show this screen during boot again" then just swipe the slider at the bottom to allow modifications in the future.
Or
If you do not plan to modify your system partition in any kind of way, tap the "keep read only" button.

This happened to me multiple times, for me it was an error with flashing Treble GSI from google, tho i fixed it by going in fastboot mode/bootloader and on my PC to flash boot, lk, lk2, recovery (official one) and then reboot my phone, but you will delete the TWRP Recovery just so you know.

NOTE: I don't know if this will work for you and might brick your device if you don't use correct ROM files...
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Also if it then boots into Fastboot mode than you can try flashing all files (It will factory reset your phone)
You have to install adb and fastboot on your PC
Commands:
cd *the path to adb and fastboot*
fastboot devices
fastboot flash *what you wanna flash* *filename of the file that you wanna flash*
For Example if you wanna flash boot it will be like ( fastboot flash boot boot.img ) if the filename is with .bin wich most new devices use it will be fastboot flash boot boot.bin
Hope that this helps
