hi have been trying to update to 4.0 via flash tool but ive tried everything and cannot get it to work......ive been trying for 3 days and ive pretty much had enough of trying on my own so i though id would ask for help.
ok firstly i am on gb 2.3 im running custom cm7 no probs but i wana take the next step 4.0 so....i have all lg flash tool etc and fast load etc all nessacary files needed but for some reason my phone wont connet and flash its doing my head in. i have it into download mode, battery out etc but after that nothing i cannot progress further its like the program wont connect/register the phone.
im running win7 i even looked into other post and thought this maybe the problem but i have already installed these when gone into download mode as said here If you plug your Phone on PC without battery, OMAP4430 device appeared for seconds and then disappeared in your Windows Device Manager
(check arsen4oo photo guide in post #3)
On windows 7 sometimes OMAP4430 flashes too fast so you cant install driver.
There is a a windows feature that will help you install the driver easier.
To view devices that were once installed but are no longer attached to the computer, open a Command Prompt window using the Run As Administrator option and enter the command:
SET DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1
Then, from the same command prompt, type devmgmt.msc to open Device Manager. Choose View, Show Hidden Devices. The new instance of Device Manager will show “ghosted” entries for devices that were once present. This technique is especially useful for fixing problems caused by leftover drivers after replacing a network card or video card—you can easily delete the ghosted device or update the OMAP4430 driver.e
i just dont know what im doing wrong
cheers in advance
HI,
Please uninstall all LG drivers, and start again. If you are using WIN7, run it with WINXP SP3 compatibility mode.
Getting the Software upgrade screen is tricky, the timing needs ti be just right for the screen to stay, else it blinks and the OMAPP difficulty starts.
You need to listed to the connect disconnect sounds carefully.
Its not difficult, just that the timing needs to be right for the battery to be inserted.
all the best

Make sure all the drivers from the guide are installed. (including omap driver)
Load the DLL and the rom to lg flashtool.
Listen to the port with LG flashtool's port settings. (One is enough , The icon with a printer cable that's the port settings)
Take the battery out but be ready to plug it back in.
connect the usb cable.
Hold volume up
You're gonna hear sounds from windows in this order ;
1.Connected
2. Disconnected
3. Connected (Again , when you hear this plug the battery back in)
If you did it right then you're now in download mode.
Go to the device manager , find the LG device (I don't remember the name , but there is only one so you'll see it.) and go to properties , advanced and port settings.
Change the port to com41.
Flashtool should take over and start.
For extra guidance , see xbsall's thread ;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1942836
To enter download mode .
Your phone in your hands without anything :-
1- Pull out battery .
2- hold vol+ and keep holding .
3- Connect your phone and you are still holding....
4- Now the phone is connected and you are holding vol+ . Insert battery and keep holding for about 3 seconds . Now the phone in download mode (there are some korean words on the screen) .
That's all
Good Luck

OIKk finnally im on software download screen YAY!!!!!!!!!!! but flash tool keeps saying fail and at the top were is says model its say su660 not p920???? which i now have managed to sort so i press start and its says ready and nothing............hasnt done much phone pwers off then back to the begin again cheers again
Because you're flashing the baseband before you flash the ROM. Change the sequence , ROM first then baseband. (Just remove the baseband you added on the flash tool ".fls file" then add it again it's gonna be flashed after the ROM )
Edit : I can help via team viewer if you want.

I bought a Cubot GT72 from the net - its basically a chinese knock-off with some very nice specs. And it was working great out of the box; but I had to experiment - right?
Edit: cannot post links; but if you got to www cubot net - you can find the phone easily. The stock ROM is also available.
I fired up MTK-Tools and rooted the phone - no problem there. Then I tried to create a custom CWM and install - that's when things starting going down the drain. It overwrote the recovery and boot partitions - so the phone stopped working. And since then I have been trying various ways to unbrick it.
Luckily, I have another phone with the exact same specs - and was able to download a backup using MTK-Tools and another one using SPFlash.
Problem - the phone is not switching on at all. When I connect it to the computer (after installing the MTK drivers) - nothing happens. When I connect without battery and keep the Up volume pressed - the computer detects an "MTK COM Port", installs it and within 5-10 seconds the port disappears, comes back after 5-10 seconds - and this cycle keeps repeating. I'm not able to connect to the phone using wither MTK-Tools or SPFlash.
When I connect the working phone - it shows up as "MTK VIA COM Port" and I can connect to it using SPFlash.
Have opened the phone and looked for test points - found one that switches on the phone and connects to the computer - but the result is the same as when I connect with the volume up pressed.
Please help - I'm at my wits end.

Ok Google "mt6572 com port drivers" and look for ***.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.***, install the software off that site and see if your computer recognizes the com port, hopefully you'll be able to flash the original rom back to it, let me know how you get on :good:

Thanks Neo, The driver is installed - the problem I'm facing is that the phone keeps going offline every 30-40 seconds and hence am unable to flash.
okies
OK thanks for the reply. Its obvious these MTxxxx devices wait for a signal when you plug them in.
1.Try going to the SDK folder and open a command prompt, type fastboot flash boot "boot.img" > point the boot.img to where you have downloaded the original boot.img for the device.
2.When the fastboot gives you the [waiting for device] prompt plug in your phone.
Let me know how you get on, i'm going to be working on a program to flash these phones from windows. :good:
p.s if the above works then flash your original recovery as well

Hi Neo - tried. The phone gets detected, but fastboot remains stuck at [waiting for device]. Please see screenshot.
Also, I think the preloader is also gone
Diffrent Drivers
Ok i noticed on there website that there are a different set of drivers, where the ones you have installed emulates a com port the other ones gives you direct access to the USB port, go to adb and type adb devices so that your phone will show up in the device manager, uninstall those drivers and install these ones ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm.
Then try and flash the preloader in the usual way, first type flash preloader {name of file} then connect your phone and hopefully you will be able to flash your phone again.
Let me know how you get on again :good:

Apologies for the late reply - tried your method - the phone gets detected as MediaTek DA USB VCOM port - but fastboot or SP flash are unable to detect.
Also, now I have managed to brick the other phone also. Was trying to upgrade the ROM from cubot's website. And even that one is bricked
Really frustrated here.

hi, did you manage to work out anything? i have the exact same problem with my GT72, and i'm out of ideas.
I finally gave up and sent it for repairing. The vendor has been trying to repair it for the last 2 weeks and has given up too. The problem with my phones is that they are not original cubot - the seller on aliexpress is selling fake cubot phones - and we're unable to find the correct files to write to the phone.
Now if only I could find a way to write back the ROM0 file without the scatter files - I had though that would be easy, but am unable to do anything about it

maybe i have a fake one, too then. wierd stuff, that is. faking a $60 phone...
anyway, i'm guessing you can only use that ROM_0 file to create a proper preloader.bin for the phone, but you need a working one for that.
you could do that in MTK droid root & tools, but since our phones doens't get detected, we're stumped.
i think having the right preloader could push us to the right direction, but i'm not planning to order a new phone to revive my dead one
anyway, if you make any progress, let us know!

I backed up the ROM_0 file from a working phone (had 2 - broke both); have uploaded it and shared in this thread. So, if you can create the preloader.bin from it - please be my guest.

i know you uploaded it, but the problem is that i can't do anything with it in MTK droid root & tools, since it only works if there is a working phone connected to the pc.

here's my "progress":
i was able to salvage a preloader.bin from your dump, this was the only one i could get flash tool to start preparing flashing.
i ran into numerous errors after that, but i managed to build a seemingly flashable rom, but it just does not work.
i could format the nand with it, but when i try to flash, it says that the bootlader exceeds partition boundary, whatever that means.
so i'm pretty much stuck at this point, but i'll attach the preloader for you, maybe it will work with your scatter.
the scatter btw did not work for me, since the addresses were wrong (i guess that scatter is for 512MB version, too).
so i built a scatter from scratch with notepad++ it's in the zip, too.
now i just wish there would be someone with a 256MB version able to make a backup with mtk droid and share with us.

Hi, the same problem, have you figured it out? Thanks for your help ...
Hello everyone I have a few questions. First to say that I'm not new to android yet I don't think I'm very advanced. Anyway here is my situation: I have brand new chinese phone Cubot x6 which is with MT6592 chipset(or CPU I'm not sure). I rooted the device with Framaroot and everything was OK. Then I found CWM for the device on needrom(dot)com and when I flashed the recovery with "Flashify" it rebooteed but it is now stuck on the kernel logo. I can enter only in recovery which is still the stock one . I can't do anything except entering into the stock recovery. I have the stock ROM but it is NOT in a flashable .zip but in a folder which is used by some flashtool program (not the one for Sony but rather for MT devices) I have the stock boot.img, recovery.img and system.img. When I try to "apply update from sideload" and sideload either the boot or recovery images I get "installation aborted". If you guys can tell me how to enter fastboot mode and from there to flash system.img OR any other way to fix the phone please tell me.
P.S. The hardware buttons are only volume rockers and power button. I also tried to install MUIU but it can't flash it with stock recovery.
Please help me. I would be able to manage it somehow if I'm able to use adb, but I can't within the stock recovery.

I'm following this, as I tried to do this before, I was apparently doing something wrong and I couldn't get to the part where the program would actually flash it and it never showed progress bars or even detected the phone, now finally my phone is recognized by the program and it's now stuck on the red progress bar, when I put my mouse over it says "Download DA Now..." ?? what is it?
Should I do something, I don't wanna stop it with fear it may brick completely...
7 mins has passed, do I leave it there? I just saw the red progress bar going up to 100% and stay there... Nothing more, purple, or yellow :crying:
Does it usually takes that much? Another thing is that I don't see the device (usb) showing up in the Device Manager... is something going on? the sp flash tool might have become stuck on it doing nothing, but like I said, I dont wanna stop it with fear it might be actually doing something, and then I break it :S

Alright, thanks for letting me know, i know what is causing to behave like that, the thing is that the usb is abruptly getting disconnected, so when it gets detected it starts working like a charm and it starts detecting the phone in the sp flash tool, etc etc but when its about to start really doing anything like flashing or anything concrete the usb simply disconnects and I dont even see it anymore in the Device Manager list... And it appears as "Mt65xx Loader" in the Device Manager, for just few seconds before terminating... Might be that Im using the wrong drivers or The wrong cable ??? Or both??? I'm using an usb cable that was made for an HTC and it had assigned the drivers of my HTC phone... But at the same time, it uses that Mt65xx Loader driver thing that I installed as well...

Hello, my first language is spanish also, so I understood the tutorial, however, you can refer to the reply that i sent to Qwerty, above, since the problem I think is on either the drivers im using or the cable itself....
Hmmmm so your problem is your connection disconnects after flashing starts .I helped a guy who had a similliar problem (his USB disconnected after 3 seconds so the tool doesn't flash ) I'll look it up again .
In the meantime I would like to know the condition of your phone like how you bricked it ,does the phone show any sign of life etc...

Yup, Oh Lord, ty, I will really appreciate if you can give me a hand on this one and you're working on it alrdy so I'm really grateful :silly: :good:
Alright, conditions, it does shows signs of life, however, I can get past the boot logo, to the "main screen" where launcher is etc, etc... But the thing is that, since I was working on a rootkit, I disabled many of the processes that I saw were 'suspicious' by suspicious I mean (e.g.) "com.gogle.services" with version: "1.4" instead showing something like process: "com.google.services" with version (e.g.) "version: 4.4.22.493 build: 493823-22-1114" you see.
So I started deleting those processes and installed ES File Manager, which it has a built-in cleaner, so after I finished disabling those processes, I started deleting junk files like a mad man using ES File Manager, and I remember going to the root and deleting the majority of the folders and files that I saw, so probably that's whats happening
Now with that previous story told... Now when I get past the boot logo, I just get this plain black screen, with only the battery status showing up, like literally only that, and the top scrollable menu, I'm able to carry it down but it has no notifications whatsoever, when I plug in the USB (while the phone is on) I get nothing whatsoever from the phone to the computer...
Hope this info helps in debugging whats going on here

Try these and let me know if any of these works
1)try uninstalling the drivers. Then reinstall ,reboot PC and try to flash again
2) does your phone has meta mode? Some mt65xx phone have it. To try accessing it do the following
Load the scatter like usual in sp flash tool ,click download ,now power off your phone(with battery) and connect to pc but hold vol+ button as well .(sometimes you need to hold the vol+ button throughout the whole flashing)
As far as your story goes the final solution is either1) flashing your stock ROM or 2)flash a custom recovery and install a custom rom but both of these require the sp flash tool process to work.
Edit : you know I'm telling you this because I believe you tried factory reset already ,if you havnt try it first.
Sp flash tool is for unbricking mostly.

Thank you for everything!
Finally got it to work! everything was working good, except the phone itself since it was semi-bricked apparently it couldn't make it to activate the usb system itself... however I went to SP Flash Tool and instead using only "Download" option, I instead used "Format All + Download" ... And then the USB didn't disconnected anymore and then I saw the tool working on it and the progress bars running perfectly! it took like less than 50 seconds to do everything when I saw the big green check mark on my screen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AMAZING!! Thanks!

Glad it worked for you ,good luck
BTW if you like avoiding the default bloatwares you might wanna try a custom ROM like cyanogen .look up development for your phone in xda or 4pda
Hi, please I need your help. I tried to flash stock ROM but I hard bricked my phone. When I connect phone with computer I'm holding volume up button. In device manager it shows "MediaTek USB Port (COM4)" but after three seconds it disconnect. This is why I can't flash ROM. It's everytime disconnect after three seconds.. Please help me.

What tool are you using to flash the stock firmware .and it will be helpful if you say how exactly you bricked it
I'm using SP Flash Tool for flashing.. I tried to flash stock ROM into my Lenovo A536, when it was done I unplugged phone from computer and tried to power on but there was a problem.. Phone was hard bricked

So your saying the flashtool bricked your phone ?
Where did you get the firmware for your phone cuz flash tool can only brick your device if you used firmware not for your phone. Also does your phone shows any sign of life ie vibrate turn on for a sec, bootloop etc...
I don't remember where did I find it.. There is only one sign of phone life. When I connect it with computer, phone connect but only for a while, after a three seconds disconnect.

I know two guys who had this problems.
1) guy took it to service ,they fixed it.
2) installed phone drivers again and tried again and it worked.
If you're confident you have the right firmware load scatter click download and connect your powered off phone without pressing any buttons ,and see if it works.
Anyway I'm narrowing down the cause of the problem to either an incorrect firmware or a sp flash tool version (some version are ****)
Didn't work

Pull out the battery then leave it for 10 min reinsert and see if it boots (give it some time ) .if it doesn't
Or connect your phone to PC(without battery) ,load scatter click download on sp flash tool ,then put in the battery .
First method - didn't work
Second method - device automatically disconnect after three seconds, so SP flash tool says error

What error code?
I bricked my device same as you so I could help you further but my device connected in meta mode and flashed its firmware fine ,so try another USB cord
Ps I've pretty much mentioned all I know about unbricking in this thread so I can't be of further help.https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&s...ggeMAA&usg=AFQjCNGkwgZbNQCJFWtm90DM-Mksnzk0dA look this up specifically #9
It didn't work.. Error is: BROM ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032)
Wow! I did something and then uninstalled driver. When I connected phone, driver automatically installed and now it's not disconnecting, but still can't flash it

Brom error is mostly related to see improper firmware which also explains why you're phone got bricked in the first place .
Try downloading another stock firmware
Man? I love you!!! I tried about four ROMs and the fourth is working!! .. There was a one more problem with flashing again with drivers, idk why but they dissapear, so I installed them again and then tried flash ROM.. Thank you very much! You saved my money!
Hello XDA Members!
I have a problem, i have an Lenovo A2010-a which has a bootloop, and i try to fix it.
I found this video on YouTube www youtube com/watch?v=a06g3r3I88Y (Sorry for the removing of the dots but the forum doesn't let me put the link after 10 posts, i hope i will not be warned for that) which presents how to flash the Stock ROM with SP Flash Tool and with provided link for all the stuff you need to flash it.
So let's go, i downloaded the RAR from the link which has MTK Drivers, The Stock ROM and the SP Flash Tool v5 itself.
I installed the drivers, opened SP Flash Tool with Run as Administrator, put the Scatter file from the ROM and pressed Download, then i put the USB cable on the phone turned off pressing Volume DOWN, then i saw the computer recognized the phone and the process was about to begin, it finished Download DA and now the problem occurs, the Download Boot Loader is stuck at 0% and then after 2 minutes of waiting it gives me an error: S_FT_DOWNLOAD_FAIL (4008)
The SP Flash Tool Version is v5.1516 and the MTK Drivers are installed
I don't know what to do to make it work, the phone's battery is charged 99%, The Drivers are installed, i redownloaded the file with the rom and the drivers but it seems to just not work. I want to say that i don't have the Original USB Cable for the phone but i think it doesn't matter, and also i put the USB cable in other USB Ports but it still doesn't work.
Sorry for my English, i hope i will get a fix for that, Thanks in advance!

try remove the battery and start the download BEFORE your phone is connected to the computer. when your phone is connected, press volume buttons to aid detection by your computer. the download should start.
i had the same phone which i tried to recover but it was unpredictable after reflashing; it could sometimes finish booting and go to the OS but everything stopped and crashed immediately... or it would not boot at all (stuck at Lenovo logo or the second animated logo). after many times attempting to recover, i gave up, junked it, and bought another phone.
