[Q] Lenovo S820 boot loop help! - General Questions and Answers

Hi! I recently purchased Lenovo S820 and I'm ultra happy with this device from any aspect! But.. Well, I searched but didn't find CWM for S820 to flash zips, so I decided to try Flash Gordon to flash a zip file, which, all in all, drove my device to have a boot loop, meaning that it stucks on the boot logo and never turns on. I know that the developer of Flash Gordon isn't responsible at all for my brick, but I don't know what to do now because the default recovery of Lenovo S820 is in chinese and I cannot understand a single thing. Can you help me translate it please? You can see the recovery pic below:

I googled it and found this, do you think it could work, I mean can I install a whole new rom via SP Flash Tools?
Thanks!

Re flash ur unit with stock ROM using flashtool
Sent from my Lenovo S820_ROW using xda app-developers app

Same problem!
My Lenovo s820 is also stuck in a bootloop after I tried to flash a cwm to it using mobileuncle mtk tools
Now the phone won't go into recovery mode. Everytime I try, it gets stuck in the bootloop where it only shows the lenovo logo and goes off and boots to the same point again, and the loop continues.
It still goes into meta mode and factory mode.
I don't know where to find the stock rom, although I have a backup of it which I took using mtk droid tools
I tried restoring the backup while keeping my phone in meta mode but it did not work
Is it possible to flash the backup using flash tools? Could you give me a tutorial if possible? I'm new to android and don't know much
Please help! I'm panicking and don't know what to do!

First,install MTK preloader drivers
then dL SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1332.0.187
reflash with Stock ROM S820 ROW
after flashing stock rom,you can install
CWM Recovery using Flashtool again.

It isn't getting flashed! I've tried a lot of times
I put the phone in meta mode and started the flashing process
A pink progress bar happened about 3 or 4 times and then it just stops at 0% and nothing happens at all

You have to install the preloaded drivers first. Then start the flashing process on SP Flash Tools. You'll be prompted to connect your phone. That's when you have to hold the volume down button and connect it without the battery. Your phone will be connected then and the flashing process will happen normally. I had the same issue as you initially but I think its normal because I could still flash my phone and restore it.

Hey guys just a quick question. I recently saw a kitkat ROM for the S820 on needroms so I'm assuming lenovo finally rolled out an update and someone made some variations for it. What I want to know is if anyone has tried it, is it good, does it cause any problems, and is it easy to root?
Link to official ROM: http://www.needrom.com/download/lenovo-s820-vibeui-2-0/
Unofficial variations:
1. http://www.needrom.com/download/cyanotek-v1-0/

Its normal that it got disconnected by itself. You will see it only for few seconds like 2-5 secs. The moment you see it, you need to right click on it and need to install the driver. The driver too is quite small it merely 10Kb. Check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2180436
Hope this helps.

I have faced the same problem with my home PC. But it detected with my office PC. Maybe windows stopped detecting it due to errors in drivers. Try on another pc or format your windows installation.

After trying it with another PC, you were able to unbrick your phone?
Try re-installing your drivers,that may help you out
it looks like you need a 32bit Windows version to use OneClick Unbrick
give it a try on another pc

Try this.
Take out the battery.now,while the battery is out,plug your phone into pc,and while holding vol down+home+power and phone plugged in,someone that can help you needs to put the battery while you are holding all this.it worked that way for me,i had the odin doesnt recognize problem.i tried two pc's,it didnt work.

First of all remember if you have usb debugging is ON.Secondly try on other pc Desktop,Laptop,Macbook and different versions.Thirstly use odin 3.Finally if it's stuck it's software problem try searching the right Stock roms for your phone.Hope this helps..Be careful with modding your phone you can no longer use android.

[Q] Downgrade to 4.2.2 Xperia L stock bootloader unlocked

Hi guys.
I need your help very urgently.
Update my phone to android 4.4.4 and I only realized until that moment that CM11 has no radio support on many devices.
I wanted to install the stock firmware but unfortunately 15.3.A.1.14 open my bootloader after I failed to make the connect via FlashBoot.
That is, if I try to connect to fastboot I have no problems doing that and that's that mean flashing kernels, but if I connect the phone to flash mode the LED does not light,
Although flashtools if recognized as a device connected in this way, if I try to flash the firmware via everything starts normally but before end I throw an error.
Anyone have an idea that I can do, and be able to tell me why this is happening?
I appreciate your help, and I hope you can understand my English is lousy.

Unfortunately the failure seems to be on the phone and tried it on another pc and the problem persists.
When I connect it with the volume down button, the LED lights green and then red for less than half a second, the pc makes the sound of announcing that something was connected but the phone does not turn on but the led.
The problem is that I have several tested tft and the result is the same, even though flashtool flash mode recognizes something is not right and I assume that's why flash it throws error.
I had the idea to flash in fastboot mode tft but I'm afraid to leave me a hardbrick,:crying:

I don't think that the red led keeps glowing when you connect on flash mode. It just flashes green and red once.
Also did you an updated flashtool on the other pc?
if not then try once with another cable। and flashtool.

First of all, your english is terrible mate.
As far as I know you can't use fastboot to flash a firmware. I believe it's only for flashing kernels.
Also, make sure you have the required drivers installed. You can download latest drivers from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2635830
Along with that make sure you use an updated flashtool.
Head over to the general threadand you will find it
Hope it helps

Hard bricked my OnePlus One by just rebooting it, help! [5$ REWARD]

I will be straightforward:
I bought an used OPO, I booted it up, configured the phone, took a photo and then decided to reboot it (turn off and then turn on), then my device simply hard bricked.
1. I already tried turning it on, the device does nothing (no vibration).
2. I already tried using Power + Vol Up and Power + Vol Down, nothing happens (no vibration).
3. Windows recognizes the device as "QHSUSB_BULK", I already tried installing the drivers and using ColorOS flashing tool from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-unbrick-oneplus-one-t3013732 , the device IS RECOGNIZED by the tool, but when I start flashing, it starts a loop when trying to flash the "8974_msimage.mbn" file (the progress bar goes until the end and then the process repeat in the same file).
Yes, the device has the bootloader unlocked, because the previous owner flashed a custom ROM, custom kernel and SuperSU.
No, the device isn't recognized by adb.
No, the device isn't recognized by fastboot.
I already tried searching on Google for this issue, everyone who had this issue never replied saying that they fixed the issue...
I never had any kind of soft/hard brick on my Moto G 2014 (and I flashed custom ROMs constantly on it)... so... can someone help me? Thanks!
I'm also willing to give 5$ on PayPal to someone who can fix this issue.
Also, if I try to use the ColorOS flashing tool, the device disconnects in the middle of the process, causing the infinite flash loop.
First, if you have a computer which installed Windows XP, just flash the ROM with COLOROS tool.
Second,if you a using Windows7 or later,,give me a photo of what the COLOROS tool showed.
Thanks for forgiving my poor English

Morning,my friend.
I tried to brick my OPO for testing.
Here's the solution.
First,open Device Manager and checked this(dont know how to speak in English):
Second, open COLOROS tool,click start and it will show the situation like what happened to you.
NOW,check Device Manager again.
Has three ways.
1.shows 9006 and MMC storage.COLOROS tool wil continue later.
2.shows QHSUSB_BULK with a yellow ! before,means no driver.
3.shows unknown device,means not enough elec.
You should be the second way.
Third,Disable Signed Driver Enforcement in Windows 7 or later.
My laptop company's suggestion:
http://acer.custhelp.com/app/answer...windows-10:-disable-signed-driver-enforcement
After that, reinstall the bricked driver and everything will be in way 1.
At last,wait for the imgs downloading,unplug microUSB,press power and reboot twice,then you can unlock bootloader and do what you want.

Sadly, your suggestion didn't work, I plugged in the OPO, opened Msm8974DownloadTool.exe and clicked "Start", closed drivers manager and reopened it and nothing changed (It was like your first screenshot)

Open Device Manager.
Press Power &Vol Up for about 10 seconds.
See if it will change between 9008 and 9006.
I have same thing did it work
I am just wondering if u managed to fix it.
I had the exact same issue. To stop the device from disconnecting, I needed to remove all existing drivers, let the phone charge, plug it into the PC. Hold volume up + power until the PC recognises it. Then I used the color OS flashing tool.
I had to run it as administrator, and it worked fine on Windows 10, without anything extra. However remember you'll lose all your stuff. Lucky for me I had a backup of my entire phone on my PC when I switched file system to F2FS.
This issue in itself has really baffled me. It happened to me when flashing sultans rom, and the phone completely bricked. However I'm using the rom now after fully recovering the device... I guess it's just down to bad luck?

Accidentally wiped phone system OS using TWRP; how can I fix this?

I have basic to medium experience relating to rooting, fastboot, Odin, flashing, etc.
I accidentally wiped my phone's OS. My phone is a Samsung S5 Neo SM-903W with no root and no unlocked bootloader but with TWRP installed. My OS was Android 6.0.1
I tried downloading the stock firmware of Android 6 and flashing it using an SD card; TWRP said it was an invalid zip file and did not find an md5 ( even though it was the only file in the zip)
When I am in TWRP, my laptop recognizes me as "Samsung Mobile MTP Device" but when I am in download mode, my phone is not recognized at all. I think that I need to flash drivers on my phone, but I have no idea how to do so, and if so, how can I flash an "invalid zip file" onto my phone?
Please help me, or at least give me some advice.
Thanks (I'm an idiot for experimenting with advanced wipe )

The stock firmware cannot be flashed with TWRP. It is built to be flashed with Odin.
If there is a stock firmware that has been converted into a custom recovery flashable zip, you can flash that in TWRP, it has to be converted from the Odin flashable firmware though, it can't be the actual downloaded firmware, it isn't compatible with recovery. This is only if such a file is available or if you learn to convert the firmware yourself.
The easiest thing would be to get your device recognized with Odin while in download mode so you can flash the firmware, this should restore your device. Try installing the USB drivers for Samsung phones from here:
http://www.samsungusbdrivers.net/2016/12/samsung-galaxy-s5-neo-usb-driver-for.html?m=1
Flashing the stock firmware via Odin will also remove TWRP and replace it with stock recovery, you'll have to flash TWRP again.
DO NOT CONTACT ME VIA PM TO RECEIVE HELP, YOU WILL BE IGNORED. KEEP IT IN THE THREADS WHERE EVERYONE CAN SHARE
The thing is, I installed TWRP via Odin, so I know there was (or is) nothing wrong with the drivers on my laptop, but after the system wipe, my phone could only be recognized by Odin if it was charging through it or if I was at TWRP. (the 0:COM indicator was pink, not green) I will try the method you mentioned, but if I have any difficulties I will come back here.
Thanks.

When you are in download mode, connect to PC then open device manager and see if it at least detects the device, even if it isn't recognizing it correctly. Does it show anything in device manager? What does it show?

I have a problem.
Since Samsung Drivers were already installed, I re-installed it by running the installer and prompting it to install it again. The problem is, when I try updating my "Samsung Mobile MTP Device"'s drivers, they say that the drivers installed are already at the latest version. I tried this several times, with a different type of drivers like ADB, and it still said that they were the latest (which is Samsung Mobile MTP Device).
Here is a screenshot to make sense of it

Please help! I am in no situation of getting a new phone anytime soon!

Try installing Kies, it automatically installs Samsung drivers correctly.
But make sure kies is completely closed and not running in the background when using Odin, it interferes.

I think I killed my brand new phone

I've been running the crDroid OOS 10 OB3 ROM since I got my phone two weeks ago and everything was fine and I updated to OB4 today. Well, after I tried changing system ui themeing my phone stopped displaying any system ui at all so I tried to restore my nandroid backup. My nandroid backup took 4 hours then when it got to bluetooth my battery was dying so I had to stop it.
I rebooted into TWRP and tried to clean flash the rom but it gave me errors about mounting the data partition so I tried changing slots.
Well after I changed slots I am stuck in fastboot mode and can't get back to TWRP and adb wont recognize my phone. There's no bootloader or baseband version displayed on fastboot and the product name/variant is msmnile/SDM UFS, my phone is still unlocked if it matters. Someone in the ROM telegram suggested I try the MSM tool but my phone doesn't seem to want to boot into Qualcomm mode and I'm worried that might be a big issue.
Hi!
I really don't know if this helps because you might have already tried it, but I had a similar problem where the normal fastboot mode didnt work and I had no Recovery. Someone suggested, that I should hold Volume Up, Volume down and the Power button all at the same time and from there I was able to revive the phone with the All-In-One Tool...
I quickly looked up the Qualcomm Mode and MSM-Tool you mentioned but I'm still not sure if that is what I just described, so Im posting this just to make sure you tried it because it was a really easy fix when I thought I bricked my phone
Sorry if you already did it, anyway Good Luck!

Well see the issue is I'm trying to get All in One to recognize my phone but it won't seem to boot into EDL mode. I installed the Qualcomm USB drivers but it's still not showing my phone. When I use the key combo suggested to boot into EDL mode my phone does refresh in device manager giving me the qualcomm device so I assume this is download mode just not displaying the text anymore. If i try the key combo with my phone unplugged it takes awhile but eventually goes into fastboot.
In this case I can't help you, i googled EDL, it is what I meant and it was all I got :-/
Wish you good luck
If your bootloader is unlocked try to flash the fastboot rom from fastboot.

what the problem u are facing while flashing from msm tools?
If you haven't fixed your phone yet just use MSMtool it will fix it, this phones essentially unbrickable.

I installed the qualcomm drivers and it showed up in MSM tool and gave me success after 6 seconds but nothing else happened so I unplugged my phone now it says device descriptor failed when I try to go into qualcomm mode
If i uninstall the drivers and try again same thing and trying to use the qualcomm driver files tells me my driver is already up to date
Well you need to hit start once it's connected. https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/msm-tool-guac-t3934691 follow the instructions there with the phone being unplugged and powered off open msm hold volumes while not hitting power at all and wait then plug into the computer.

During Installing drivers again choose the option (something of) search from internet. And let the file be downloaded and install. Trust me this method works. I too had same problem

Okay I got the descriptor issue to stop and MSM is detecting the phone again but its still not booting to anything when I run the tool like the guide said it should. I do upgrade mode right?

I meant to send that one, follow those instructions and you'll be good. It's Android 9 but that doesn't matter, you can update from there once your phones working again.

Where did you get the files you're using? Maybe download one from my link, they're the only ones I've personally used and can say for sure they work

Your file does the same thing
The connection status switches to N/A but if i stop it and enum it still detects the phone
I used the drivers provided in your link and it still doesnt seem to work
that status bar at the bottom says Running: Upgrade though but thats just an indicator of the job task, no?

Send a larger screen grab of the MSMtool running, I don't recognize what you sent.

So it sounds dumb but try rebooting your computer and switching USB ports then trying again.
