Mediatek GT-I9190(S4 MINI ) , MTK6572 bricked! - General Questions and Answers

I am sorry if this is the wrong group for this topic to discuss, I created the account for this specific problem I am having. If am wrong then please do guide me in the right direction.
So, I have a S4 mini Clone from mediatek first of all I am confused about the model. When I used the system info app it said hardware - 6572 and something else was there it said 6589_wet so what is the correct number to follow.
Now, the problem is that I rooted that device using MTKDroid and I guess I didnt chosed a right option for recovery. One day after rooting I restarted the device and it fell into bootloop then I went for recovery menu and tried to wipe partition cache and even wipe user data. It didn't work. Then, I copied the recovery backup file from my computer (which MTKDroid creates) to microSD card and tried to recover from sdcard. Even that didnt work, then I used another method which involves formatting using SPflash, even that didnt work I guess the scatter file was corrputed because SPflash sent an error message saying " the load and target are inconsistent " and the bar turned red.
Anyone with same problem got solved or anybody having any solution or even the correct rom for my device, I'd appreciate the help.

Kingtopkt072 ROM needed
Hi
Thanks for the great job done on your website.
My KingtopKt072 MT6572 is bricked, and I’ve been unsuccesfully looking for it all over Internet. Can someone please save my phone by sending me a link to download and recover my device? It’s got 512 RAM and it’s dual sim.
Thank you.

[Q] need help! i deleted my OS!

i deleted my ONE X OS by accident!
oh damn! i tryed to install some rom from my recovery (team win recovery project 2.3.1.0)
and i did wipe> wipe catch and then i want to do factory reset and i hit system.. and i didnt notice..
and the zip of the rom refuse to install! and i dont know what to do! please help me
i cant put another rom on my SD card.. im doomed!
and i got ONE X not XL
Use adb to push a rom or an RUU to the internal SD card..
I've deleted my OS and I can't even turn tablet on anymore!
Hello everyone! PLEASE, I need someone's help!
I have a Sanei N10 dual core. Its original OS version was 4.0.4 and I was trying to install Jelly bean into it. I had tried many ways, and the last one was using LiveSuit. I did all procedures taught in the forum. My device was connected to PC in ADB mode, and with Livesuit Open, I got a formating box from windows (the same you get when you select "format" on a storage device), so I chose format and after that, nothing else succeeded. So I disconnected the device from USB and I had to reset it. And the worse part, it didn't even turn on anymore.
I'm kinda noob in this issue, but I think when I chose format, I've formatted the partition which had the OS.
Now the Tablet doesn't give any life sign... No led, no message error, no anything "/
PLEASE, I need my Tablet back!
Thank you SO MUCH for any help

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!

[Q] Haipai i9389 (MTK6589) Recovery?

Hi guys, I bought the above phone off Amazon. I found out this very strange device also had a root-enabled kernel out of the box, but my question is about recovery. I want to install CWM as a first choice, if not that, TWRP, but a Google search only tuns up loose references to MTK6589 which is presumably the SoC, but nothing for my specific model. Currently when I reboot to recovery with any root app it shows 'no command' (maybe there is no recovery installed to the recovery partition?) and when entering bootloader mode the device displays what is seen in the attached photo.
I would appreciate any help on getting a working recovery set up on this device.
Thanks!

Hi, I also have one of these phones and have been looking at recovery options with little success.
However I have found a set of instructions in the XDA University about porting CWM. (unfortunalty I can't post a link due to being a Noob, but if you Google 'porting cwm' it should be the top result).
I am going to be attempting to do this once I have got my PC set up dual boot for Linux.
Will post back with news on how it's going. Would appreciate any progress you have made about a recovery option.
Regards
Mad.
first, make a backup of your device using mtk droid tools.
if phone isn`t rooted yet, use this tutorial:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332783
for the recovery, you need to unpack your recovery.img, take the kernel zImage and put it in the cwm-recovery. for mt6589 phones, this one should work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357875
you can unpack/repack your boot.img with this tools:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1587411
after obtaining new recovery.img, flash it through SP flash tool or mobileuncle tools.
Recovery Quirk
Chrizzly, thanks for the pointers, will be checking out the tools tonight.
Found a quirk though, may just be my phone.
I booted into recovery last night and as expected the "no commands" came up, but then I took the back off the phone and a recovery menu appeared. Had options in there like reboot, delete cache, delete delvik cache....
I'm assuming this is the stock recovery.
I tested it again this morning and booting into recovery and then taking the back off the phone made the menu appear!!
Any one else care to test and see if it's a stock thing or just a quirk of my phone.
replied before, my post disappeared.. this isn`t related to your device , this is recovery-typical. it is showing the android first, without a menu. you need to press hardware buttons, to get into the menu( this is device-specific, you need to try that, also buttons on the touch screen, if there are some) this will usually bring you in recovery MENU. think you accidently pressed one of these buttons while opening the device.

Re: Stock recovery. Thought it was a button press that got me in first time but I tried it several times and no button worked just pulling the back off. Little puzzled about that but it's something I can live with!!

Re: Files. Thanks for the files, going to try them out as soon as I can!!
Done
I have got CWM working on my i9389 now, there was a few quirks in getting it going.
The method I used was as posted in the MTK Droid Root & Tools thread by rua1.
TIPS
Leave the battery out when doing read back or flash in Flash Tools.
Not mentioned in the instruction is the MTK vcom drivers which you will need and can be found in the Root tutorial posted by Chrizzly a bit further up.
Make sure you read the instructions by rua1 closely and use the images posted as it's not always straight forward.
Last tip pay attention to where MTK tools puts the files it creates, had me stumped for a bit!! I've never been very good at following instructions!!

I managed to boot loop mine while messing with a ROM I made (it's not finished yet) but managed to recover by re-flashing using the Flash Tools a back up I had taken just after installing CWM.
Do you have a back up you can flash?
I have just checked mine and even zipped it's still 800MB so I can't email it to you...
...sure if I looked about I could find somewhere to upload it to for you. PM me if you need this!!

[Q] zte z5 red bull u9180 bricked pls help

I tried to install cwm at my friends zte to change the rom because he wanted playstore an i think i bricked it using some scripts i found that were made for the v9180 model .The phone now has black screen when i power it and nothing happens. I cant enter bootloader or fastboot so i think i have hardbricked it. Only when i put the battery while i have it connected to mypc it shows 12 partitions and windows asks to format them to open except two of them that have files. the one partition has a folder called image with 55 mb size and the other is the internal storage. if someone can help me i would be grateful because i already spend 12 hours searching to restore this awful device because i never say no when someone asks me to help him. Any help would be appreciated.

[Completed] Micromax a37 nothing appears by pressing any button but it is detected by computer.

I am using micromax a37 bolt and it has only 107MB internal so I rooted it and used Link2sd app for putting every app into sd card and I did it but after doing that I ran into some problem with all apps suddenly stopped and I will end up factory resetting every time. This time I used mounts2sd and I created the startup script and init.d. When I rebooted for mounting the sd card second partition, it booted for more than 10 minutes so I factory resetted it. But after resetting also when I tried to boot, it boots for a long time. So I thought of flashing the stock ROM and I used it with sp flash tool but I get an error S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032). Now the phone does not show up anything when I pressed the power button or any combination but when I connect it to my computer it is detected and the sp tool gives same error. During the flash I first tried with a37 stock ROM but second time I wrongly downloaded a37b stock ROM from another site but I got the same error in both cases. I tried different sp flash tool versions. Here is the google drive link to logs folder
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0VHdfl5tDqZaC03ZEhTVWQ0RUk/view?usp=sharing
I am making this thread so that any one who are in a similar problem can get solution from someone who gets it. Thank you
