[Q] Chinese Mobile - General Questions and Answers

HI
I just purchased a Chines mobile name HONMI. They said it is 4x2 core but it is dual come. Mostly applications were in Chines I tried to delete some Chinese files but after deleting the Mobile is not coming back. It stuck after booting and not coming as menu, showing only black screen. I have tried to flash ROM by SP Flash Tool. One time it did it and after it is not doing. Also not recongnising the USB.
I appreciate any help to resolve the problem.
Best Regards.

You can fix your phone by flashing a correct ROM. Chinese phones can't get bricked. If you flash wrong preloader, you won't be able to boot it, but just get a correct preloader and flash it by pressing and holding VOL+ button before you connect the phone. It will start working again. Check for original ROM at www.NeedRom.com
Also using MTK Droid Tools will tell you real chipset. It can't trick you by telling you it's a quad-core if it's dual-core.
You can also blame the seller and ask for money back.

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

Try to read the chinacarts website because you download the one for quadcore micro_sim_s3_quadcore_dualcore_firmware_20130107 the link i provided you is the the one that worked for me.
Version 3:

(When you make upgrade the phone success,the boot screen will start on"welcome"logo,dial"*#2013#"or"*#0825#" then press"OK" reboot the phone,the boot logo will changed to Samsung Logo)

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...

A850 dead & fixed! But need more info with this phone...

Hi peeps...
I got a situation here with my a850. Before, I'd just bricked my phone after done flashing some roms from needrom.com. then my phone just dead & cant even to switch it on. Later I managed to get it fix by flashing this rom A850_S203_140208 and turn out to be ok. Get it rooted with Framaroot & get back my imei with Mtk Droid Tools also get rid out of Chinese bloatwares & apps with that software.
Now when I try to flash another rom, it get stuck with A850_S203_140208 Chinese logo. Then I had to restore it back to where it was.
Is there someone willing to help me out?
I guess you have to flash to s121 as most ROMs are based on it
a850 rom are not suitable for a850i . thats why. find the one for a850i .
What do you mean? Is S121 ROW is compatible with this S203 CN? I wanna try it if yes...
Who come here because want to fix phone won't turn on and pc won't detect is easy..
First, remove battery and connect your phone then press Power + Volume Up + Volume Down.
Then, your PC should detect your phone but wait.. you can't install them yet..
After that, find your stock firmware compatible with your phone (if you don't know, you should find it, or you can download all files about Lenovo A850 then test one by one)
Crap, disconnect your phone from. Then, load scatter file then untick all except PRELOADER, choose Download Only then it will flash. Connect your phone then press as it mentioned..
After that, you are done at fix PC not recognize the phone... after this settled.. flash the rom as well.. use the compatible only!! if you use the same.. the same things will happens..GOOD LUCK

[Q] MTK preloader port is gone!!! Replaced by MTK USB Port.?

Hello there!
So here goes my problem: The thing I was trying to do> Flashing a random rom in my MTK6582 device. Why random? Because I was unable to find my official ROM on internet. I thought if I flash any random ROM having MTK6582 device, It would work, which resulted in my current despo situation. No boot, No Logo, Nothing. The thing that triggered this was none other than "FORMAT" button from SP FLash Tool. Yup. Beforehand, I could at least enter in Bootloop and Recovery Mode. So is there anything which could be done except changing motherboard or force booting with JIG. As I said, it still shows "MTK USB Port" when I connect my phone w/o battery, however, Preloader is no longer appears. One more thing, it's not disappearing after 2 seconds as it did with preloader. Please, save my bud!!!
Device Name: Qmobile Linq X70, MTK6582, ARMv7 Quad Core 1.3GHz, KitKat 4.4.2

Actually, your shouldn't have done it, since as far as I have searched, I didn't find any Flashable stock ROM for your phone.
Flashing some other device's ROM will never work, since the mount points will be completely different even if you flash ROM of same chipset.
The only solution for this is waiting for someone to post flashable stock ROM for your phone, or finding someone who has the same phone and asking them to dump the ROM completely and give it to you, or the best way: Go to Service Center
Try flashing any flashable custom/stock rom if available for your device, and if not then u can use it as paperweight. And service center might not able to help as ur preloader is corrupted.

Hi All,

I need help flashing a hard bricked phone.
The phone wont turn on and when i flash a rom, after
20-55 seconds with a 100% red bar i get a brom error 4032.
I have a Jiayu S3 Advanced mtk6752 shipped with kitkat
And i flashed a android 5.0 stock rom with sp flash tool.
After not using for a while and replacing a cracked screen. My phone restarts itself and it was soft bricked.
Then i flashed the wrong rom it was a rom for Jiayu S3+ mtk6753 and now its hard bricked. I did everything i can find on the internet except making a jumper on the motherboard. Please help.
Let me explain what exactly happended.
I bought the china phone and on the first day that i got it i flashed a android lollipop 5.0 stock rom with sp flash tool. After that i used it for a month or so. Then i cracked the screen and the screen wasnt responding. After 3 months not using the phone i ordered a new screen with lcd and i replaced it.
I used the phone for 2 days and suddenly the phone restarts itself when i was playing music. After restart i was stuck on the logo. After restarting the phone again it was again stuck at the logo.
I tried to flash my phone again, but used the wrong rom.
It was a Jiayu S3+ mtk 6753 android 5.1 lollipop stock rom. I tried everything reinstalling drivers with usbdeview and device manager. Tried flashing different. Stock roms. Tried different key combinations. Sp flash works and can see the phone when flashing a rom but stops after 20-55 seconds with a 100% red bar and a brom error 4032 pops up. I saw on the interwebs that i make a jumper on my motherboard but i cant find lcolo or something like that. Please help..

[Completed] Doogee X5 Pro Bricked

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!!
