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:
For micro sim version
(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)
Firmware( Released on 07,Jan,2013) this firmware universal for MT6575,MT6577,MT6589 CPU:https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B4AdByfaH4T0TjVjc2w0OXVqQUE
Now mind your manners and be thankful and READ! we are not obliged to help out. Did you tried out this UNIVERSAL FIRMWARE! if you do then it never worked then there is nothing we can do to your expensive paperweight.

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] Bricked Kross GY-601 Chinese Tablet

Hi, I have a Kross GY-601 Tablet... One of the cheap chinese tablet you can pickup at factorydirect (Canada)
I seem to have bricked it when attempting to port Clockwork Mod Recovery to it. It does not show anything on screen or do anything, When I connect it to my computer.. It shows up as M6-CHIP in Device Manager as shown in my image.
The internal storage is completly gone as a result of my failed attempt to un-brick it..
It would be a great help if someone helped me fix this..
Thanks in advance..
-Henrique
PS: I'm only 13 sorry if my description of the problem is a bit bad..

Sooo,
You probably don't have proper drivers, use PDANet ones, they work even with obscure tablets.
You tried to port CWM or flash?
It's not bricked since your computer detects it
Last thing, do you have a backup recovery image or another recovery image that works so you can get it back up?
Daniel

I was dumb enough not to do any recovery image backups..
Also.. I ported cwm then flashed it with dd just poped the .img into the recovery block.. but since I didn't compile it properly when I adb reboot recovery.. It got into a boot loop.. so I tried to fix it but broke it even more... So then I tried re-writing the firmware for generic 4.1.2 chinese tablet.. but that messed it up to the point were it only shows as M6-CHIP.. i can only turn on and off.. nothing else.. no boot no screen light up nothing..

I can help you BUT....

Even i am having the same device on its stock rom and kernel so i guess i can help you i was into rooting and upgrading it but didnt do it as i was waiting for a backup device so if i brick it i dont have to wait to buy a device but i am stupid and dont know how to take a backup of the stock rom. If you will help me know how to do that i can help you in return by uploading the stock rom and sharing the link.:highfive:

[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!!!

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.

Yes, you can.

It's quite difficult for a beginner.

Don't brick your uncle's phone too trying to save yours.

[Completed] Hard Bricked in a peculiar manner

Hi xda,
So I had a soft bricked Micromax Canvas a290 which boot looped and couldnt access recovery. I flashed it with a stock ROM. Now the phone is hard bricked, and I'm thinking probably because the rom I downloaded had issues. I looked up another stock rom from xdafirmware, and am trying to follow a tutorial on youtube on flashing a hard bricked device.
The issue I have here is this:
The tutorial says the phone is supposed to connect and disconnect every 7-8 seconds (evident by the sound windows makes when usb device is connected and disconnected).
The thing is, when I connect my device windows makes the connected sound, but the device doesnt disonnect. SP flash tool cant flash my phone. I have tried any and every button combination, but they dont seem to help.
I am an tech enthusiast myself, and I have flashed a lot of mtk soft bricked devices before, but I am totally stumped here.
Can anyone help?? Any ideas whats happening? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Greetings and welcome to assist. I can find very little information for your device apart from this thread which may help, can you connect to the device just using fastboot ?

[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!!
