[Q] GT-I9500 Clone MT6572(MT6589 is fake) flashing isue - General Questions and Answers

Hello!
So I am newbie in here, and I have huge problem.
I have bought Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500 Clone with MT6572 CPU, as for many people, MT6589 is fake, 2GB RAM is fake, you got only 256MB.
Ok, lets get started, sudenly it stopped working, but PC still recognize it trought VCOM drivers, so I tried to flash it trought SP Flash tool, at start it showed BROM EROOR, bla, bla, bla (4032) its comon error, so I fixed it, and was able to format system, before formating, I needed to put in battery, and only then PC recognized phone, after flashing, it recognizes without baterry. So I started to flash new ROM, and appeared error, that there is not enought space, I reconected phone, one more time same error, and in next time old BROM error was back, and I can't fix it this time.
As my phone switched off sudenly, I was not able to see HW info in MTK Droid Tools, cause I can't install ADB Drivers without USB debugging and switching phone on, and tis makes everything complicated.
So my question is, am I trying to flash wrong ROM or is it fault in drivers or what?
I will be happy for every helpful information. And thanks.
And sorry for my english

Jiayu G3S MT6589 Bricked without any flashing

Hello,
I have Jiayu G3S MT6589 and phone was working perfect, I was keeping it in my pocket and yesterday i took the phone off the pocket and i couldn't boot it. I can't charge it either. I tried to put other battery in my phone and it still didn't boot up. But when i connect it by USB i can see that its MTK USB Port, or MTK DA port or something like this (that's after installing drivers, before I installed it i was getting Unknown Device on the list - it shold be MT65xx Preloader) So i tried to flash a stock rom (SP flash tool), but i can't do it too - I'm getting error connected with DRAM, or the red bar is loading like 100% and then nothing..I can wait and wait and nothing more...
I didn't broke my phone like it was never on the floor or something like that and I didn't change Preloader by SP Flash Tools
It's very important to me to fix it fast because I'm working on dual sim and I need smartphone... I don't want to send it back to China - it would take at least 2 months to complete repair, so I'm determinated to do it on my own, but I need your help...

Hi
Try this:
1:Remove the battery, and keep the phone WITHOUT the battery for >2 hours
2: Re-insert the battery and charge the phone (check if its charging) either by the led (in case it haves one), or by the off-line charge animation
3: If its charging GOOD , continue to the next step, if its not, im affraid its really bricked (if the phone doesnt display the off-line charge animation its in most mtk devices an hard brick)
4: If the phone charges ok, then re-flash ALL the nand via SPFlashTools (including the pre-loader) keep in mind to flash the right spflashtools rom version
5: And of course you need to have the Mediatek drivers installed for this to work, if your using windows8 , you may have some drivers problems, since the mediatek drivers have issues with this windows version, so just use windows 7 or xp.
For the drivers download this ones:

This are Universal Mediatek drivers...
Good Luck
Best regards

Thanks for your reply... I left the phone without battery for 4 hours, and it's not charging...
But what I've noticed:
When i connect phone with battery it shows on computer as MTK USB Port, then when i take the battery out (and it's still connected) it disappears, but when i hold VOL- it shows again, but still I can't flash...
I've checked voltage on phone (battery slot) and it's like 0.5V-2V when the phone is connected, so I guess the phone charges the battery...
I've decided to send it back to Pandawill but they requested a short movie showing what is happening...
I'll send phone on Monday if it won't start, so if you have any ideas to make it work...I will be very happy
Thanks
I had this for a number of G3S and G3ST devices, usually after a year or two of usage. These emmc chips from china phones wear out too fast.
If you are know what you doing then if
1. Preloader is loaded but (so USB cable and internal cable between connection board and motherboard is ok)
2.
I'm getting error connected with DRAM, or the red bar is loading like 100% and then nothing..I can wait and wait and nothing more...

its dead eMMC chip.
You can replace it in local service, you just need engineer skilled enough to make reboll. Also you can get a bonus - internal flash memory upgrade from 4GB to 8GB or maybe even more.

[Q] Jiayu F1 bricked - What do I do?

Hi there,
I somehow hard bricked my Jiayu F1 WCDMA smartphone (MTK6572) by flashing a wrong ROM (event though it was supposed to be good).
Now, I can connect the phone to the PC and it get's recognised (the bell rings), but I can't flash anything (nor format) through SP Flash Tool, which keeps bumping the "Enable DRAM FAILED" annoying error, no matter what ROM I'm trying to feed it.
I really could use some help, or at least getting a working scatter file, preloader, etc, just to rule out a fault on the flashed files' side.
Thanks a lot.

1. Uninstall all vcom,preloader and MTK drivers using USBdeview then manually install vcom drivers (you can see how to manually install MT65xx (MediaTek) USB VCOM drivers on Windows if you need help doing this)
2. Once you have vcom drivers installed, delete the SP flash tool folder then re-extract a fresh copy
3. I believe you should have go the correct backup now so go ahead and flash it using sp flash tool. you can try meta mode (flash without battery while holding volume up button) if you're still getting the error

[Completed] [Q] [HELP] Lenovo A606 bricked, now I am stuck

Hello,
I have a new Lenovo A606, that came with a strange ROM (IMEI not recognized, some weird WIFI setup) from 2014. I was able to set it up and correct the problems (thanks to google), but I still had some language issues (the Lenovo Apps including dialer, contacts, sms, etc… were English only). I was able to root it fine, and no working problem.
I decided to install a clean stock ROM, ROW: the A606_USR_S036_1502271022_V3_MP_ROW that is more recent and fully supports multilanguage.
I took a PC with Windows XP, and installed the latest SP Flash Tool, following a tutorial.
I was able to install android adb drivers and the MTK driver from the ROM image. The phone was showing in the devices, then was disappearing, then showing again… I had an error, but then I tried again with the option to update the firmware, and the Flash Tool reached the end and said it flashed succesfully.
Problem: after that, the phone was totally bricked. It would not start at all. When I plug it on the PC, it shows sporadically a device called "VENDOR 0E8D - communication" that disappears very quickly. I cannot flash it again. I just lost my brand new phone…
I tried with SP Flash Tool, and Flash SPMDT, with different ROMs, CN only, ROW, different versions… But nothing. It always says that Flash failed. Even when the phone is not plugged, I have an error with Flash SPMDT, with all ROMs, saying that (1)COM ports number is repetitive or invalid, or (2) Brom and preloader have the same comport number! and it asks me to modify them in INI file or scan again. Of course, scan fails, when I plug the phone pressing vol up + vol down (only way to make the phone recognized by the computer without a battery), the progress goes to 100% then either stays stuck there, or says it failed. SP Flash Tools gives this error: 'BROM ERROR s_ft_enable_dram_fail (4032)'
I tried several drivers, to clean drivers with usbdview, I tried several versions of SP Flash Tools… I don't know what to do anymore. I hope that Lenovo has a warranty and that they could flash it back to normal.
I don't know if it is a problem accessing the META mode on the phone, or bad roms… I tried on one computer with XP, and another with Windows 8.1, and the problem is the same.
ANY HELP would be appreciated, thank you!
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. It sounds like you've tried everything possible. Since it sporadically shows up on your pc try a different USB cable. If that doesn't work then I think it is bricked and you'll have to check with whomever you purchased the device from to see if they can fix it.

Hi i have a Homtom 7 with version 2 mother board i contacted Homtom as i was having problems with it dumping contacts etc. they checked the motherboard etc and said i need to update the Firmware to 2.1.2 which they supplied me with and the program SP Flashtool to do it with and a video to try to explain it to me unfortunately it isn't happening all i get when i plug it in to flash is a few fast bleeps and then a single one later but nothing happens anyone any idea what is or isn't happening please?? i have the feeling the PC isn't recognizing it but that's just a wild guess ..
I tried again and got a warning saying "MT65xx Preloader was not successfully installed " no driver found
I followed a thread on here for installing the missing driver but still doesn't work.
