[Q] [HELP] Ulefone N9589 (MT6589) Fully Bricked

In SP Flash Tool (v3.1304.0.119, seemingly the latest I can find out there) I get the following, no matter which function I perform:
BROM ERROR: S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032)
[EMI] Enable DRAM Failed!
Err msg box pops up right after RED 100% (no subsequent yellow & green)
Is this likely a hardware failure or is there any possibility of rescuing via SW means.
Worse case scenario I'll have to send to back to CHN.
Thanks for any input you may offer.

i've same problem
help me too

I've got the same problem : I erased my preloader (I can't use "Preloader-->DA" any more to brush a ROM). Now, I'm looking how to boot on "ROM-->DA". On a MT6577, it's easy : you put the battery without power on the phone, you connect USB cable, you run your brush software ("SP flash tool" or "SP_MDT"), you remove the battery... and the brush begin. But on MT6589, it doesn't work
If someone has a solution...

@crkmanho: your phone got recognized as mt5xx preloader, so it isn't bricked. you`ll need to get the correct firmware for your device and make full download. did you made a backup of your running firmware? No? Haha. next time think about it before just flashing random FW to your device. also, check in your driver settings that you have assigned vcom port 1-16 to mt65xx preloader. sometimes preloader is recognized (vcom 7 or something) bt other device drivers are offset (27 or something) wich will work for connecting your device to PC, but not flashing through SP Flash Tool.
@ManuD_Linux: is your device recognized by your PC? if so, same thing. if it is completely dead, google for "mt65xx testpoint" or something similar. not every phone got one, but many. you can connect the testpoint to GND and the phone will "boot" into preloader. those devices are almost unbrickable.

I find a solution !!! It certainly will help someone. If you totally brick your Lenovo A820 (no or bad preloader), simply brush (with "SP flash tool") this preloader : http://desvigne.org/divers/firmwares/Preloader_a820.7z
After, all become possible ! You can brush an original firmware with a flash tool, and bruch TWRP, install a custom firmware....
Hope it helps someone... (the Lenovo is really unbrickable ).

[Q] How can I unbrick my replica for SGS3 H600 H640_77v01.01b01 ( MT6577 ) ?

Hello,
I have phone H600 H640_77v01.01b01 replica for SGS3 (MT6577),but it is briked,when I connect it at my computer,only what can I see it is MTK USB Port (COM 28) in "Manage" ,no light,nothing else!
When I try to flash it with SP Flash tool I got some error after red line,only what can I do it is format.
What can I do to recognize it like MT65xx preloader? I need to press some buttons when I connect it to my computer?
Sorry for my little english!

are you sure this is an MT6577 based smartphone? how do you managed to brick it? flashed wrong firmware? we need some more inforamtions here. "some error" is something i cannot build onto. make a photo of the back of your device (without the battery) to identify your device. you`ll need to get a proper firmware for your device or it will be dead forever.
edit: found this software, this one MAYBE will work: http://4shared.com/file/IAkoq9Z5/
i didn`t looked into it, but is suggest you have to flash it using SP flash tool.

[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.

@jamsubzero I saw your post and thread regarding Dead Bricked
Hey guys.
I own a lenovo A328. For the past couple of months my phone, gets poping up "com.google.etc.etc has stopped".
I tried doing a factory reset, but no luck. Then I learn that I can flash it using SPflash tool with the stock firmware.
And luckily, I did it, my phone back to normal. But then, a few couple of weeks, it started to pop up the same error messages again until I can't do anything on my phone, and unitl it boot loops. So, I reflash again with the same firmware (stock).. and it works again. And same thing keeps repeating and repeating;
until I thought I can try to change the options in sp flash tool..
Instead of "Download only", I choose, "Firmware upgrade".... the flashing finished successfully.
BUT when I press the power button to turn it on, nothing happens, and when I charge it, I cant see the charging screen (or it's not actually charging). I'm sure that it is charging before the flashing, and the power button is working.
When I connect it to the computer, i hear a "connected" sound, then "disconnected", and repeating.
i also tried to reflash it, both the "DL only" and "Firmware upgrade", even the "Format all + ...."
and it flashed successfully (meaning, computer still recognized it), but still not turning on.
Please help me. please.

i am trying to flash vivo s7 and the cable shake and since then the phone is dead, have flashed it several time, it complete but it refuse to on

I need help please
Basically I was flashing updates for my CUBOT Nova and everything was going fine and I tried out this custom recovery which wouldn't mount any partition so it didn't really suit me. And I did this a dozen of times with other recoveries and if anything happened I had the firmware in SP tools ready to be flashed and if I could save going to it I just used the fastboot to flash it, and so I decided to completly stop and just put my phone back to normal and because I done it before I formatted the whole flash, (and FYI every 2 times I plugged in the phone powered off my computer always searched for drivers in the windows update but it failed and so everything still worked) but after I formatted it and plugged it out and in to download the firmware, my computer successfully installed the drivers and at this moment I was like shoot so I tried to download and it didnt recognise my phone and so I uninstalled the driver my computer installed and see if it worked and it kept installing it again, so I decided to uninstall every mtk driver I had and rebooted, when I installed every single driver again it tried to download drivers from the windows update but it failed and on the sp flash tools it goes to 100% on the Downloading DA (so the red bar) and stays like that for a while and I get notifications that I have a unrecognisable usb device and after a while it gives me randomly 2 errors 0xC0050005 and 0XC0060001 and I know someone is going to tell me I dont have the right firmware or that it's not the right ones but it isn't I got from the official Cubot website and I got an early versions from firmwarefiles I think and none of them work, now I just have a phone without anything on it and I cant flash anything on it until I just hope someone would walk me through what to do I would appreciate so much I'm sorry I wrote so much as I had to explain in max detail as I could what happened!

Hi there
I would like to know if you can help me in repairing my device.
So i wanted to do an upgrade on the tablet and i messed it up.
I was on CMW recovery at first and then i did a format on cache system and data. but when i wanted to flash the rom CM14.1 it fail and the devices restarted.
the screen goes on but i can see faint lines on the screen.
I did make a back up of the rom and tried to flash it back but it didnt work.
I used all the roms and it still didnt work. I tried many SP flash tool and formating and still not working. every single rom has been flash and all are green but the phone does not want to boot. i have youtube and followed the instructions and every single step i can think of but u have a gut feeling i am mssing something.
I cannot write SN on the fone as it will not work. i have uninstalled all the drivers re-install all the drivers did all the instruction that you have provided but still it will work.
the tablet does still detect on the PC and it does work. so basically it is in a bootloop but its not powering up. Some suggested using MRT TOOLS or MIRACLES but i have a problem with that as it always have a virus attached it to and when i download it the pc removes it. so i dont know where i can get a good crack tool.
i really need your help if you can.

Lenovo A2010-a SP Flash Tool Problem

Hello XDA Members!
I have a problem, i have an Lenovo A2010-a which has a bootloop, and i try to fix it.
I found this video on YouTube www youtube com/watch?v=a06g3r3I88Y (Sorry for the removing of the dots but the forum doesn't let me put the link after 10 posts, i hope i will not be warned for that) which presents how to flash the Stock ROM with SP Flash Tool and with provided link for all the stuff you need to flash it.
So let's go, i downloaded the RAR from the link which has MTK Drivers, The Stock ROM and the SP Flash Tool v5 itself.
I installed the drivers, opened SP Flash Tool with Run as Administrator, put the Scatter file from the ROM and pressed Download, then i put the USB cable on the phone turned off pressing Volume DOWN, then i saw the computer recognized the phone and the process was about to begin, it finished Download DA and now the problem occurs, the Download Boot Loader is stuck at 0% and then after 2 minutes of waiting it gives me an error: S_FT_DOWNLOAD_FAIL (4008)
The SP Flash Tool Version is v5.1516 and the MTK Drivers are installed
I don't know what to do to make it work, the phone's battery is charged 99%, The Drivers are installed, i redownloaded the file with the rom and the drivers but it seems to just not work. I want to say that i don't have the Original USB Cable for the phone but i think it doesn't matter, and also i put the USB cable in other USB Ports but it still doesn't work.
Sorry for my English, i hope i will get a fix for that, Thanks in advance!

try remove the battery and start the download BEFORE your phone is connected to the computer. when your phone is connected, press volume buttons to aid detection by your computer. the download should start.
i had the same phone which i tried to recover but it was unpredictable after reflashing; it could sometimes finish booting and go to the OS but everything stopped and crashed immediately... or it would not boot at all (stuck at Lenovo logo or the second animated logo). after many times attempting to recover, i gave up, junked it, and bought another phone.
