EDIT : SOLVED :
Many thanks to slot78
Hello all.
I got my hands on a Inew I2000 phone (Mediatek 6589 cpu). I tried to flash it with the latest rom, and might have hard bricked it. Can you help me say if it is indedd hard-bricked, and if not how to revive it ?
What I did :
I used Flash Tool 3.1312
Got the rom from this page : http://www.needrom.com/mobile/inew-i2000/
After fighting with the drivers for a while, it seems my phone is ready to flash.
I selected the scatter-loader, cliced "firmware upgrade"
Pluged the phone.
The upgrade seemed to work fine. I got to the green circle. I unpluged phone. But hte phone didn't boot.
After that, nothing.
The phone doesn't seem to reac to anything. The screen stays black.
When I plug it, the list in device manager moves a bit ( showing that it still react to pluged USB) But I can't find the device anywhere on the list.
When I try to flash anything with flash tool, I clic load. Then, when I plug the phone, the loading start. But when the red bar reach 100%, nothing more happens.
From what I've found with google so far, it looks like I somehow had the wrong pre-loader in my ROM.
Now, I'm opened to suggestions.
Any way I can be sure wrther my phone is bricked or not ?
If not, what is the next step to revive it ?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Hello!
I think i can help to you! Send me a private message and tonight i will message back with the sollution...just i working now.

I answer here,ok? Important info...
As you say in pm, yes the sollution the "test-spot"!
You have the truth!
http://www.4shared.com/download/5Y4TKOCfba/service_spot__1_.jpg?lgfp=3000
There is the spot!
You need to remove the back cover and you need 3 item: a piece of wire, a screwdriver (fot the back cover) and a rubber-ring.
First remove almost all the screw, except next to sd card slot (bottom left corner of the sd card slot)...This screw fix the main board and you can remove the back cover without remove this screw.
Put the battery to right position and fix it with rubber ring to the phone.
Prepare with the flash tools and rom, for flashing...(usb cable conect to the pc, scatter file etc...)
Start the flashing with the downlad button and inmediatly sort the spot with the motherboard screw (what you didn't remove) with the wire.
Waiting for the green circle! And Enjoy!
Pls let me know if you successful!
The problem was i think...There is two different mainboard in Inew i2000 the v1.1 and the v2.1...The newer stock roms belongs to second.
Here is a KitKat THEMED (it's just 4.2.1) rom: http://www.4shared.com/zip/WHdOpLytba/07_resurrection_feelKat.html
(little bit lightweighted and optimized) It's for PCB v1.1
First time do not going to panic...First time boot will be slow...and after that the system need 15 min for find myself...Wait for it!
Here is the lastest CWM based touch recovery

Best Regards
I haven't succeded (yet) but thanks a lot for the info.
I think I got the right point on the motherboard. When I connect it, I can see a white led lightning up near the ubs port on the phone. So, I guess connecting the point makes my phone react.
But I think I might have a driver problem now.
Here is what happened.
Launch Flashtool as admin.
Load a scatterfile (any file, at this point I just want to be able to flash anything.)
Battery in, usb cable connected
press load.
the red progress bar imediately reach 100%
I try to connect he testpoints.
nothing more happens. Sometime I see various errors, not always the same.
Before finding the test point method, I tried all kind of drivers. Now I'm not sure which one is left on the system or wich is the correct one.
Anyway thanks for pointing the test points to me !
Also, thanks for the recovery and the ROM.
But none of them contains a preloader / scatter file. So, at this point, even if I get the right drivers I can't load them. I'll try them later if I manage to revive the phone, but right now my aim is ...
1 / Cleanup the drivers, and reinstall the right one
2 / Get flash tool to load anything on the phone via test point
3 / Find the right preloader and load it via test point
If I manage to do that, then I should be able to put back the back cover, and load the recovery "normally".
In the meantime, any advice is highly welcome.
Like :
- Any tips for cleaning up / installing drivers ?
- Any idea what the right preloader is ?
- Precise order on what to plug when flashig ( Battery / plusg USB / Load in flashtool / Connect points ? )
But more than eveything, thank you ! I might not have succeded yet, but at least I am not stuck anymore. Before your post I didn't know what to do. At least, now I have the test point and I can try something.
Also, sorry for the late answer. I had a lot on my plate, and didn't realise you had answered.
I suscribe to be sure not to miss any more answer.

Hello Again!
For the recovery you do not need new scatter file, use the original.
You can install the new rom from CWM recovery.
So let's see the problem.
First i need that error messages, it's important!
Try to use different usb cable/usb port/computer (operation system).
And different version of Flashtools.
I use this:
http://www.4shared.com/zip/CBA1yGcq/SP_Flash_Tool_v313040119.html
And this drivers:
http://www.4shared.com/zip/TPj497mj/6577driver_install_3_steps.html
But i need the error codes...Meanwhile you can contunie trying. We will save that phone!
Best Regards
Thanks again.
I'm already using this version of Flashtool. I'll try your drivers as well.
I might have some more question later on, but for now I think I need to try again when I've slept a bit. Maybe things will seems clearer tomorow I'll keep you updated later this week end.

Quick update.
On device manager, the phone appear under "Ports com and LTP" as "MTK USB Port (com12)" Or other port number if I use other USB ports.
The error message I sometime get is BROM ERROR : S_PORT_COM_OPEN_FAIL (1013)
[COM] Failed to open port COM12
Wether I get the message or not depends on the order I do thing. ( Plus phone first, load after, or load and plug after ...)
So far, same reaction as always. The red progress bar goes to 100% very quicky, then nothing more happens.
EDIT ;
YES ! Phone résurected !
What I did :
phone not pluged, test points already connected
Windows -> write memory.
Go to tab Write memory
Open raw data -> select preloader.bin
select EMMC
Adress 0x0000000000
length 0x00600000
Write
Plug phone (with test point already connected)
The prelaoder gets written -> green circle.
unplug phone
After that back to main tab
select scater file from the same image, clic firmware upgrade
connect phone
Loading goes through ...
Green circle,
Phone switch on -> Success !
Thanks a lot, I will now try to flash the CWM recovery and the rom you recommended ... but later.
Right now my phone can boot again, and that's awesome !

Yikes!
Looks like, there is only usb driver related or op system related problem. (for this moment)
I looking for different driver and give it a try.
tonight...
Lol, you must have answered while I was editing my post.
As I said, Phone resurected ! Success !
It is now booting normally, with a stock rom.
Next steps are
1 / CWM + the rom you suggested.
2 / Fix memory to use the whole memory on one system partition. (It seems the i2000 for some reason does not use all the available memory.)
But all that is not problematic anymore. I just need the time to get to it
Many thanks for your precious help, I wouldn't have been able to do it without you.

It's an apk for repartitioning your memory! Use only maximum 1,5 GB system memory options!
After that you must reflash the rom of course and your internal sd will cleared too!
But not the cwm recovery!
I'm happy now!
Get the 2.7 GB of memory on one partition ... OK
Get more available memory ... nope. Not sure it is actually possible on my version.
CWM ... OK
insall the kitkat themed rom you gave ... I don't know.

How long exactly ? Because I think the 4 color moving logo has been displayed for 15 minutes now.I know first boot can be long ... but at what point do I decide the phone is not just slow booting but actually stuck ?
Edit : Well, I'll stop at 30min I think.
But even if this one doesn't work for me, I would be interrested to know where you found custom roms for inew I2000 phone. I haven't been able to find a single one with google.

Well, depends on what you call hardbrick and soft brick.
I bricked it using only software. So, it's soft.
But I had to open it and attach a wire to the motherboard to unbrick it ... so kinda hard to.

Eh it's will be difficult, you know i customized that rom... Because i did not found too. It was not a really rom develpoment just kind a "patchwork"...
The problem is, you have (i think) v2.1 board in your Inew I2000...In Hungary...one company sold v1.1 verzion...it called "Myaudio 508"...
For the v2.1 i have only stock rom...
But i did only few imporvements....Working GPS (with hw modding too) not blurry cam (hw too) different launcher, customized bootanim, different (and less) system ringtones and notifications. Some build.prop tweaking...etc...etc...
I try to make 4.2.2, because i have a working version, but still have two bugs, but that harder bugs and my phone sadly dead.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50010654
My motherboard have a contact issue and i cant find replacement anywhere...I asked chinese factories...i asked russian fans...nothing
I'm a sad panda now...And looking for new phone...There are few new very intresting phones!
But if you want ask anything...just do it! if i can, i will help..
Is it possible from battery date 2013.02.25 and green sticker below battery with 2013 05 checked to tell which exactly preloader I need for this bricked phone (quad core)? I tried various sp flash tools versions and various roms dated 2013 03 16, 2013 05 10, 2013 07 06, tried to download only preloader or full rom with variuos errors, usually 4001 and 4032, now only shortening the point method left, but how do I know which exactly preloader I neeed?

You shold check the motherboard version number...Already i know two versions of this phone...The v1.1 and the v2.1...
For the flashtools the firmware names contain "_21" or "_v21"...In previous posts i linked a v21 rom. If you need the older one...i don't have v1.1 rom for flashtools now (because my phone is dead) but you can use the "spot method" and cmw rom + zip firmware form.

try version 3 first the universal one. then you can play with the others by updating through stock recovery. i bet you have a dual core one. press vol down , ok and power button at the same time on boot and go to version. if it says MAUI on the list then we have the same clone

i also have issue with my s3 clone mtk6577... its no longer turning on after trying to odex it.. tried to flash the firmware and thats when the phone no longer turning on.. please help me.. im trying to flash it again using the flash tool but stuck in 0% what do i need to do?
I have the same problem. S3 micro sim clone MTK6589, new firmware tried (chinaecarts.com/s3firmware20130320.rar ), then the phone not booting.
I just contacted with Chinaecarts.com, they tried to solve the problem but not working.
Also tried with the universal firmware, but it sad I've MTK6577 phone, not MTK6575.
If I will have fresh news, will post it.
(seller said, I should send the phone back, and they will fix it.)
I tried with this:
H.tps://docs.google.com/open?id=0B4AdByfaH4T0TjVjc2w0OXVqQUE
It is theoretically for the MTK6577 and MTK6589 as well. Got the previous result: "Platform error. The target platform is MT6577_S00."
I think there is a solution for the blank screen problem:
- need a Flash Tool. (on the link above you can find it, or on the link in my previous post)
- need a firmware for MTK6577 micro sim card.
I tried with many sdcard firmware versions, but no effective result.
Hi,
1, You need to know what is exact model of your s3 mtk6577. There are many s3 mtk6577 models in the market. Different s3 mtk6577 is made by different manufacturer, so the ROM is definitely different.
2. After you get the right ROM, then flash your phone by using flash tool SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject
Bricked MTK6577
The image of the S3-micro-sim-version-20121210 this with corronpidos files, and the method that you should have done to retrieve your appliance was using the recover instead of SP tools because the files are not in rar. SP standard my phone so can enter META mode and nothing more.

It looks I have the exact model of yours. I am trying to update the firmware by entering the recovery (I suppose it is {vol up + power}). But my external sdcard is not mounted to pick the rom from.
I hope this may help you? I had the same problems as you with the same phone after rooting it I deleted the original rom as it went into a loop and would not start so I started installing every firmware I can find and install, I got one which works BUT! no English , it boots English then goes into several languages but not English it is HDCI9300 rom. I googled it as no one seems able or do not want to help although I have asked several times in many different ways. I hope this will get your phone at least to boot up, I used sp flash as this rom will not let you do anything with the sd card (if it does you need to translate one of the languages)? I hope this helps, if not you have lost nothing:fingers-crossed:
Hello. I have a similar problem with yours. A friend of mine has a 100% visual clone (MTK6577) with the same sticker under the battery like in the first post, he tried to flash it, but he messed up something, and then he brought it to me completely DEAD . No charging, no PC connection - nothing... I tried many button combos, and accidentally i found out that if i connect the phone without battery, press and hold VOL+, VOL- & POWER for a few seconds, the PC detected the mediatek com port , installed the drivers without problem, and now the real problems begins - the ROM. I tried all of the roms from chinaecarts but without success, first i couldn't flash the thing, and after downloading several roms from chinaecarts, and finally flashed it and guess what - no LCD :silly: . So i tried combining different files from different roms, and now i'm at a point where i can turn on the phone, screen goes white, but the phone boots, it makes the vibration after the boot process completes, and after that the phone is responding to touches (it vibrates), lock/unlock works, PC detects USB Mass Storage Device, USB Composite Device and MTK65xx Android Phone. I also noticed that in the FW packages i downloaded there are some files that aren't flashed (i think) like for example the kernel.img so i was wondering if i can flash it manually? Please someone help, share some FW links, i can't find anymore...
can anyone help with this?? or even identify which s3 clone the phone is from the first post... i have tried many "solutions" for clone 6577 and NONE works.. I have scoured the internet for possible solutions and nothing..
help please!

Hi,
I need some help with unbricking OEM U9GT3, also known as D97/97S. This is chinese clone tab with RK3066.
I had some issues with battery, so I tried to flash various ROMs. After I flashed ROM from NextWay tablet my device died.
Literally died. No response to POWER, USB, Charging. Can not put it into recovery. Obvoiusly PC doesn't see it.
I found a tutorial about unbricking WINDOW 70dual, but it says something about the contacts on the mainboard. After I opened my tab I can not find that were mentioned.
I tried also another tutorial adviseing to shortcircut 29 and 30 pin on one of the chips. It didn't work either.
I replaced battery. It didn't change anything.
The most important now is what to do to a tab to make it visible for PC. I can manage with the rest.
I can provide photos of mainboard or any further information if needed.
Any idea is very appreciated.
Mark
hi
has blocked the tab .... happened to me several times with my pipo s1 .... how to revive it is simple .... you have to put the original ..... firm or .... firm that you know works .... Once done ..... remove the battery for a minute and then reconnect the battery .... normally turn the tab ..... supposedly should work .... flahear remember before the rom that works .... delete ID
Yeah well cool advice.
But how can I possibly flash ROM that works when my PC DOES NOT SEE the tab? If I could flash anything I would do it.
Question is how to reset tab to erase nand flash and flash new rom.
Hi!
Sorry if I post my topic on a wrong category, but I couldn't find the right one. I have now a chinese smartphone iNew i2000
MT6589 Quad Core CPU @1,2 GHz
1 GB RAM
8 GB ROM
5,7" Screen 1280x720
Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean
Dual SIM support
Tested with 64 GB TF Card
I rooted it to change some informations in the build.prop using the RB editor, like the model, brand...Etc. I only changed model to test, after rebooting it, I have the splash screen, after that the animation and nothing else, only a logo and the system don't want to boot
I tried to flash it by downloading it's ROM and using a software named SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1252.1.104 by following a tutorial found on Youtube (this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdUdHejJor4) , but it didn't work :'(
Thanks for helping me
try contact with your manufacturer to slove this problem. some of china phone do not have strong and stable official support , i will not root it if it is use mtk 6589
this cpu is powerful enough to play game , but most of android application was developer by Qualcom Samsung TI cpu

Any other answers?
I have the CXQ N7300 which is the same as the i2000 except I only have 4gb rom.
Try this. First got to the site and get the latest rom http://www.inewphone.com/eng/index.asp
Turn the phone off pull the battery for a 30 secs put battery back in. DO NOT TURN ON
Open the flash tool as administrator
Select the "MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc" file which is located inside the firmware folder you just got from iNew
Then click Download in the flash tool bar and then Connect the phone to the USB.
If all goes well the bar at the bottom will start moving.
You could look here http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=565998
Hope it goes ok for you.
Hmmm my bad I didn't watch the video as he does the same as me. Try that site I posted.
EDIT= I just thought doing it like the site I posted did not work i.e connect the phone with battery out
then press download then put the battery in. Try that.

Exactly the same method as you Thanks a lot , I resolved it by using a newer version of the flashtool
Now, I have a new trouble, when i try to change the boot animation, it's replaced by a black screen :'(
Mission accomplished, I changed all the rom's infos (build.prop, boot logo and boot animation) and i created a new customized ROM
Thanks for answers and help
So guys,
After some ports, my XC2304 isn't able to run on flashmode to re-install firmware. Some days ago I create an ftf file for it be flashed by Perfect Flash, the results was sucessfully. Perharps, today I was porting a Z1 rom based on our last update .13. After install the rom by CMW the phone doesn't boot for anyway.
I tryed to reset by back button, no response;
I tryed to remove battery and no response;
I've tryed to boot into flash mode by pressing volume - but only stills on a red led.
I follow some tutorials but no one worked for me, the main problem is "device not recognized" by windows.
Can't connect on Perfect Flash\Sony Update service cause the flash mode doesn't appears.
Well, I was very excited to porting my new rom based on 4.3 AOSP, was some little bugs that I as just solving, but now I'm not able to continue my ports
If someone had the SAME problem and solved it, I'll be glad if you help me!
Best Regards.

I did the same thing like you and had same issue.
Unfortunately, we cant use Flashtool/ SUS/ Perfect Flash to unbrick because there have no driver for our xc.
So, I sent back to SONY yesterday.
Fix your problem using this way

this method doesnt work when you flash a rom for a different device like i did i already order a new motherboard for my xc. this only will solve it...changing motherboard.
And by the way if Red Light is shown then it is Soft Brick and you can very easily repair it. If that light is also not there then you can say that it is a hard brick.
Ok, i have a doogee x5 pro phone and i tried to root it by flashing twrp recovery using sp flash tools. While flashing i got the error "PMT Changed for the rom it must be download". So i did a small research on internet and i found out that i needed to format everything except bootloader. This succeded. So after that i tried to install the firmware with this succeding to. Unfortunately the time i tried to turn phone on it was dead. SP Flash Tools wont detect it anymore. Please help me cause the phone is not mine and its brand new! I can rate my self as moderate android user. :crying:
i think i have a bigger problem... I downloaded a stock rom for doogee max pro(cause i just realised it wasnt just pro it was max pro) and it didnt seem to be recognised again. Any help would be appreciated. I constantly keep trying to raise it from the deads. Thanks!

On mtk devices a preloader is independently installed, it should be almost impossible to destroy, I owned a x5 pro and had best success to flash it with sp flash by taking out the battery, press flash button and plug it in...
The second huge issue I see is when you used the specific flash tool format option you very, very likely killed the nvram partition which contained the imei, so you'll have to fix this too by generating a new one and using mtk engineer mode which is well described and to find on Google..
But let's go step by step. Check without battery, or if it's a non replaceable you'll need find the reset button..
i have tried before without battery and i tried just now but nothing. Its very weird it was detected before and now no in same and another machine. I am pretty confused and stressed. Hope i didnt do any physical damage.. :crying:. THANKS!
starting to get pretty stressed omg! and is there a difference between MT6737M and MT6737?
i came to the point im starting to lose my mind... tried everything i could, i have 5 days left to repair this phone and i dont wanna pay 85 euros for this. SP Flash Tools wont detect the phone. Tried almost 5 different scatter files,2 different PCs and different mtk drivers. Im losing my mind already
UPDATE: I almost fixed it! I had flashed wrong preloader so phone wasn't recognized by SP Flash Tool. I fixed preloaded with a little trick from here: link. After that i flashed stock rom downloaded from doogee.cc but phone will not boot resulting in a total black screen. When i hot Power + Vol Up it takes me to another screen:
Select Boot Mode:
Recovery
Bootloader
Normal
Doesn't matter which boot mode i choose i just get a total black screen which means i get nothing. Idk what is happening! Any further help would be appreciated! I constantly try to bring it back working with little success and small improvements.
Last UPDATE: FIXED my phone had no juice left inside so couldnt complete boot proccess. Now its all good running Btw someone must pin this META trick link i send on my previous post cause im sure more people out there have preloader issues!!! Thank you everyone!!
