Hi everyone.
I got a Lenovo A850 ( MTK 6582 ) here which is belong to my friend, it was full with malware apps or I can say a Trojan, Hijackers etc etc.. Because it like to turn off USB DEBUGGING option ( checkbox ) and downloading inappropriate apps into device and I decide to flash a new ROM I downloaded from needrom website and flashed using SP Tools. All processes went alright and SP tools 'Green Circle' popup. :good:
Then, I unplug USB and put battery and cover, and pressing Power button. Sadly, it won't turn ON anymore, just Red LED light.:crying::crying: I can't even enter recovery / bootloader. I was looking for solutions everywhere including in X-DA forum. Some said, It was Hardware problem, but how come? It was fine before I flashed a ROM. and now it's totally dead
I played around by pulling out a battery and pressing Volume buttons + power with USB cable attached to it and it finally respond to PC device manager by showing a MTK USB port I tried using SP tools again to flash another ROM with hopes it will fix but yeah, I know it won't work as MTK USB Port is not the right driver for SP tools. :silly:
What do i do now? Please someone help me.
Many thanks!
EDIT : PROBLEM SOLVED
Hello members,
Finally, I got this device alive again and if you are also having this issue and still can't fix it, you can now by following below steps;
Its time to revive your dead phone.
First, download below files:
- Download this A850 stock ROM here ( MTK6582 )
- Use this SP flash tool, here
- VCOM Mediatek Drivers pack ( required )
*Items required : USB cable, PC/Laptop, & Your dead phone.
OK now lets start...
2. Unzip ROM file and start SP flash tools, Load scatter file > Go to option > check DA DL all with checksum.
3. Uncheck all list and Select 'PRELOADER' only and press Download.
4. Remove battery from your phone, after 5 secs while pressing Vol + / Vol - or both, connect USB to you device. If you get no response from PC ( not recognize ), you have to unscrew and open your phone cover to manually jumper the 'Preloader Test point'. Please follow this guide here. However it's quiet advance step and please do it carefully at your own risk.:good:
5. Otherwise, after plug in USB, your PC will start installing Driver ( If it failed to install driver automatically, then you have to install it manually from VCOM Mediatek driver pack download earlier ).
6. If everything is right, SP flash tools will automatically detect your device via MTK USB port ( RED BAR PROGRESS ) and It will change it to Mediatek DA VCOM and PURPLE BAR PROGRESS show up and viola! GREEN CIRCLE popup!
DONE!
7. Now remove USB from your phone, Don't do anything yet, back to SP flash tools, and now Select all flash list except PRELOADER and press Download. and insert USB cable again and flash tools will start the process, wait until it finish flashing all img's ( Boot, Uboot, System, Data, MBR etc ).
If flashing processes done successfully, it will popup GREEN CIRCLE again, now you can take a deep breath :victory:
- Unplug USB > Put Battery ON > Press power button > You tell me what you feel :silly:
*Side Note : If you're having any issue like a boot loop, just boot into Recovery Mode and format data/cache and REBOOT.

Hi saladbass,
DRAM error usually because of ROM isnt correct or in other words, it is not for your device. Try to find the correct ROM for your model.
try find here and let me know.

nada bunyi tu mcm SP Tools punya common error tu. Cuba guna wayar USB lain, reinstall MTK driver and guna different version SP tools. Dan 1 lagi .. pastikan ROM yg awk nk flash tu betul dengan model phone.

Hello,
tried to flash a custom OS and root on a ZTE Blade L3. I got CWM Recovery working and flashed a CM12.1 rom on it, after that, it failed to mount all partitions /cache etc. etc. then I restarted the phone and it bootloops + fades white immediatly!
Recovery or Bootloader etc. dont work
If I connenct the phone on my computer it connect, disconnnect, connect, disconnect and so on.
Anyone a solution or idea how I could save that?
I can help you, So first we have to know is it Hard bricked or just Soft bricked, In any case it's not hard to unbrick. Just follow these steps :silly:
1. Download SPFlashTool to your PC https://androidmtk.com/smart-phone-flash-tool
2.Download Drivers for MTK6582 (I hope I wrote the right MTK name) http://www.devfiles.co/download/0InO9P5m/MT65xx_USB_VCOM_DRIVERS.zip
3.Download stock firmware
http://r.srvtrck.com/v1/redirect?ur...ar&ad_t=advertiser&ad_zi=YieldLink&ad_dt=link
IF SOFT BRICKED:
-Update drivers with the one up there in the thread, Open SPFlashTool, Find scatter file (just a file with a .txt extension) and place it in Scatter file area in SPFlashTool (search on YouTube how to use SP), After you did that manually add the files that are missing ( it's usually the recovery and some other files that are missing), Then press download and AFTER that connected your phone with a USB cable! Then wait it to flash :victory: ,
IF HARD BRICKED:
-Remove battery,
-Connect to PC with USB cable
-It probably won't recognise your phone, so we need to enter so called META mode so we could flash the PRELOADER, to make the phone recognisable.
-To enter META mode remove battery( if you didn't), connect as I said up there, and try pressing and holding some buttons, I can't remember the correct combination that enters META mode but I think it was all buttons for 5 seconds, anyway you will know when you entered META mode if your PC recognises a change or if he finds the device :good:
-then enter SPFlashTool and flash the PRELOADER only (hope you know to use SPFlashTool)
-After that disconnect your phone and add battery
-Enter SPFlashTool and Flash whole system (all files except CACHE AND USER)
-You should be done ?
Hope it helps
Here's a total solution
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569947486
Flash tool and stock ROM included. Just follow this:
1. unpack
2. run flashtool.exe
3. load scatter
4. click download
5. unplug your battery and plug the phone to your PC via USB
6. wait for process to finish and unplug your phone
7. Boot
P.S. I guess you'll need some drivers. Check the post above.
Good luck!

Device Compatibility
Here is a list of Devices which are confirmed to be fixed by this method. Theoretically it should work with every Samsung.
Galaxy J5 (SM-J500FN)
Please let me know if it also works for you (add your exact Device Name)
You will need:
Samsung Device Firmware type in exactly your device name, then select country/provider and download the newest version for you Android version
WinRAR of cours (on Windows)
SkipSoft Unified Android Toolkit
Samsung USB Driver (if you haven't them already)
and Odin
Instructions
1. Open the downloaded firmware .zip archive and extract the content. Then open the extracted .tar.md5 archive again with WinRAR and extract boot.img
2. Install SkipSoft Unified Android Toolkit
3. Copy the boot.img file to the INPUT folder in the installation path of the Toolkit
4. Start it and write 99 for Basic Android Toolkit (and wait for the Downloads to finish if you are using it the first time)
5. Type 8, enter, 2, enter, check if only the boot.img file is listend, then type yes
6. Copy the .tar file from the OUTPUT folder to a folder of your liking
7. Install the USB Drivers
8. Power down your Phone and hold the [VolumeDOWN + POWER + HOME] to enter Download Mode (to confirm press [VolumeUP])
9. Start Odin and Connect you Phone to you PC. If the Device is detected properly the Log box should say something similar to "<ID:0/004> Added!!"
10. press the AP button (formerly PDA) and choose the .tar file you created befor
11. Then press start. If Odin was successful in the left corder should be a green square saying passed
IF UNSUCCESFUL: try using a USB 2.0 usb port on you PC/Laptop if you have one. On PCs try using the motherboard ports on the back
If you get any errors please let me know.
Cannot Find INPUT and OUTPUT folder
I cannot locate INPUT and OUTPUT folders in c:\Unified_Android_Toolkit and confused. Stuck at this stage. Do I create the folder myself? Please advise. Thanks
