I wanted to put a new rom on my Lenovo, so I started here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-a850/general/tutorial-install-cwm-twrp-lenovo-a850-t2642431
I thought making a backup would be wise.
My Baseband model did not have ROW or CN in it, so after trying all four options EN/CN CWM/TWRP options, all failed an my phone would just reboot.
May be my mistake was trying a few more versions of CWM/TWRP, after one of which my Baseband model was gone...
So I decided to just go ahead and install a new rom without a backup. I installed the VCOM drivers (Win 8.1, a bit of hassle) and downloaded: http://www.needrom.com/download/a850-stock-s123-multilanguagegappsroot/
Тhе flashing process went OK (I got the green circle), but after disconnecting my phone and putting the battery back in, it would not start at all. Not even recovery mode.
I tried flashing another rom, but the PC/flash tool would not detect the phone again.
Тhe only sign of life is the red led when I connect the USB to the PC (without battery).
Any help would be appreciated.
P.S.: Also the phone stopped detecting my SIM cards while trying different CWM/TWRP versions.
P.P.S.: I actually was able to get a response from the flash tool by holding power, volume + and volume -, and got: ERROR 4032 : Enable DRAM failed!

Very helpful, thank you...
After trying many different SP Flash Tool versions and ROM, I was actually able to resurrect my Lenovo by doing a Firmware Upgrade with the latest SP Flash Tool (version 5 something) and using a A850i ROM from needrom.com
No issues so far, but I'm basically back where I started from
i think u have flashed a850 4gb version firmware. same thing happen to my phone. but fixed it with a850i firmware.

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!

i wanted to say the same thing, also i tried enter EDL for 2 days DD (helio G80) LMFAO
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.

Good day. I have made COUNTLESS efforts, methods, ways to unbrick my Hard Bricked
"ALMOST DEAD"?? Phone. I've watched so many vids on YTube and read alot in this forum
Here's some of the details of what i've been through.. Please help Me.. and thanks in advance..
PLEASE PLEASE.. Finish reading my thread.. I also provide some screenshot for reference of what happened..
THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE.. MORE POWER..
I already tried the method of
"Download Only" or Flash the
1. "preloader" first
then after that untick/deselect it
2. load/flash other stuff (lk,boot,recovery,logo,secro,system,cache,userdata)
3. ALSO TRIED. Not flashing the (cache & userdata)
4. I used the stock rom. (Downloaded from ndrom)
5. Still. NO LUCK.
AFTER FLASHING EVERYTHING.
DID NUMEROUS FLASHING METHOD I READ FROM
COUNTLESS WEBSITES and FORUMS.
STILL. My phone is dead.
1. Not charging.
2. (NEW CHARGER) (NEW CHARGING CABLE)
still not charging. (NO LOGO) (NO VIBRATION)
3. I fully charged my (REMOVABLE BATTERY) using UNIVERSAL CHARGER.
4. I even bought new battery (SAME MODEL)
5. No luck.
Here's what happened (BEFORE BRICK)
1. My Phone (FIREFLY INTENSE XL) hanged then suddenly turned off.
2. I switched it on. It started well.
3. After few seconds, it restarted.
4. Now, stuck at logo.
5. I've waited for many hours. Still stuck at logo.

7. Had some luck? I was able to boot at FACTORY OPTIONS
(Chinese Text)
8. I GOOGLED again what's this chinese character/text means.
9. I GOOGLED how to FACTORY RESET.
10. Now, i chosed the option that has **EMMC text on it.
11. I Reboot the phone. STILL-Stock at logo.
.....Now I begin flashing using LATEST to OLDEST SPFlashTool.
**I made sure that my Battery level is 90%++
12. Flashed the phone for (FIRST TIME)
*I used the "Download Only" Option
*After first time flashing. Still stock at logo.
*Waited for almost (10 Mins. Only)
****Before Second flashing. I know,
My Computer (device manager) still detects my phone normally as Portable Device.
That's the normal detection before I bricked my phone.
...Now
13. Flashed (SECOND TIME)
*I used the "Format ALL and Download" Option
*After 2nd time flashing. Now, it didn't boot.
*I decided to charge it. Now, stock at charging logo.
No indication that it is charging. Mere charging logo. Logo is not moving up nor down.
**Now my PC couldn't detect my device like before--
it has sound of reconnects and disconnect.
Sound and Device Manager indicator.
**It say's in Device Manager
Connected (MediaTek USB Port (COM6)
Reconnect (MediaTek Preloader USB VCOM (Android)(COM5)
14. Yet after that, I managed to Format the phone using SPFLASHTOOl Format Tab.
*After that
*NO BATTERY LOGO even I plugged the phone in charger
-waited for several mins. still no BAT. LOGO
*NO VIBRATION
*I CHARGED THE BATTERY using UNIV. Charger
*BOUGHT NEW BATTERY (SAME MODEL) (FULLY CHARGED)
*Paperweight?
*No logo
*No battery nor charging logo like before
*No vibration
*Yet, my last hope? (Hopeful)
My PC/DEVICE MANAGER detects it
**It say's in Device Manager

*Tried different ports
*Tried different speed in SPFT (HiSpeed & FullSpeed)
*Tried flashing one-by-one

====First I used MY OFFICIAL UPDATED ROM.
Next, the Outdated ROM. Last, CUSTOM ROM - No Luck.

There's this youtube video
How to unbrick Any dead mtk phone 100% tested solution
I googled and saw a video on youtube that, advance option + Physical Format option could be
one of the essential *Last Resort to be able to SUCCESFULLY FLASH your CHINESE PHONE.
Sadly, I believe, in NEWER version of SPFT it's not possible when you load the MT6580 scatter file?
I also used old-oldest version of SPFT but it everytime i load the scatter file it says some error
*not legal blah blah blah? Please. Do you have any idea?
Is it possible in MTK6580?
I used old-oldest version of SPFT
version(s) 3.xxxx But, it won't allow to load my MT6580.
Any way to bypass it? Please..
PHOTO FOR REFERENCE. THANKS IN ADVANCE..
I GUESS.. MY LAST RESORT? IF YOU WATCHED THE EMBED VIDEO FROM YOUTUBE..
HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED..
METHOD I haven't tried..
FLASH USING Windows 7 OS.
QUESTION:
What is CYANOGEN OS?
Can I unbrick my phone using that OS? or by upgrading or downgrading it?
Is there any other tool to force my phone to take all the ROMS or format it?
Please Please.. Help me..
Thanks in advance and more power..

one of the essential *Last Resort to be able to SUCCESFULLY FLASH your CHINESE PHONE.
Sadly, I believe, in NEWER version of SPFT it's not possible when you load the MT6580 scatter file?
I also used old-oldest version of SPFT but it everytime i load the scatter file it says some error
*not legal blah blah blah? Please. Do you have any idea?
Is it possible in MTK6580?
I used old-oldest version of SPFT
version(s) 3.xxxx But, it won't allow to load my MT6580.
Any way to bypass it? Please..
PHOTO FOR REFERENCE. THANKS IN ADVANCE..
I GUESS.. MY LAST RESORT? IF YOU WATCHED THE EMBED VIDEO FROM YOUTUBE..
HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED..
METHOD I haven't tried..
FLASH USING Windows 7 OS.
QUESTION:
What is CYANOGEN OS?
Can I unbrick my phone using that OS? or by upgrading or downgrading it?
Is there any other tool to force my phone to take all the ROMS or format it?
Please Please.. Help me..
Thanks in advance and more power..

Cyanogen OS is a custom rom. It can only flash through custom recovery. But you can't even access the recovery mode then it can't help you to unbrick your android.
Other method to physical format using spft?

1. I just wanna ask, do you have any idea or IS IT POSSIBLE? to format my device using the
ADVANCE OPTION + PHYSICAL FORMAT FORCEDLY ERASE (BAD BLOCK MARK IS ERASED) in SPFT?
I see that option in new-latest version of SPFT but, WHENEVER my ROM were already loaded (MTK6580), that option is gone.
I GOOGLED it but I can't seem to find the right keyword for it.. Do you have any idea? even in other android tool?
There's this guy on YTube that, did that method

I can't upload the video..
Also, what is the BEST METHOD to flash the ROM using Windows 7?
I managed to borrow a laptop with WINDOWS 7 32Bit OS installed.
*Should I flash the preloader again?
*Should I untick/deselect it (preloader) and ALWAYS flash other stuff? except CACHE & USERDATA?
* I flashed countless times, I just don't want to make things worse..
**Is it possible to install or flash my rom to EXTERNAL SD? and be able to boot my phone using it? There's this guy on Ytube did that to his dead phone and it booted..
He used, some sort of image file and installed it in sd card using wind32diskimager..
Is it possbile? or for some phone models only?

Same problem with me, I also have an MT6580 device and I also first tried to:
(when I used SP Flash tool, it only fully worked in version SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1532_Win )
1) format the whole flash (in SP Flash tool)
2) only select preloader
3) flash (with Download selected, and phone volume + button pressed in and then connected USB to pc)
4) select all other (recovery, boot, system, ...)
5) flash
For me as well, nothing happened - the phone does not react when I try charging it, and pressing the power button has no effect.
The only advice I can give you is the knowledge that the preloader is in the fault - somehow the preloader on my phone before the flashing was different from the preloader in my stock rom. Perhaps it is the same data, but the address at which it is flashed is wrong. Don't bother yet with flashing the system, userdata or other images - if the preloader is not correctly installed, the phone won't recognize it when it tries to boot up, and the other system, recovery etc. images are useless.
Perhaps a good analogy is: say the preloader is the bios of a computer: if the bios fails to be loaded, then the operating system (android, windows etc - i.e. the system, recovery etc. images) will never be loaded either

Sir please help me out
I have Micromax a120 device. Few days back it got bricked it stuck on bootloop and not working even after factory reset moreover my pc is not recognizing mobile and display message as device descriptor request failed. I have installed all drivers
Sorry to start a thread on this old device and guessing there may not be anyone who can help me.
I flashed the Lenovo VibeUI ROM from needrom which seemed to work well, but I wanted to go back to stock and used the Ulefone 'onekey flashing tool' which usually worked to go back to the stock ROM. This time there was an error message, so I used SP Flashtool to flash the stock rom.
However the phone appears bricked - no screen, no charging indicator when plugged into the charger or USB on PC, whether latest official V1 or V2 ROM flashed. Not identified by PC as plugged in, but with battery removed, it appears I can 'flash' stock ROM using SP FT or Onekey official flashing software, but it is still 'dead' when battery reinserted.
Even though flashing the ROM with SP Flash Tool and the official Onekey flashing tool appear to flash the ROM to the EMMC, the phone won't even boot to the boot logo. Plugging in the charger doesn't show the charging indicator. I think the issue is with the 'ERROR: NAND flash was not detected!' message when I do a memory test. Not quite sure how this happened.
I thought it was difficult to brick MTK devices, but I seem to have achieved the almost impossible! Does anyone have any idea how I can recover from this bricking? The phone is recognised by SP FT so I hope there is a possibility.
Is there an easy way of solving this as I would like to donate this phone to someone who needs it? Tried lots of 'fixes' from XDA and other sites, but nothing working so far.
Any help/advice greatly appreciated.
:fingers-crossed:
I have an Alcatel Onetouch Pixi 3 (10) Wifi 8079 tablet with an MT8127. I tried flashing a twrp recovery following Kirito’s guide but I had a glitching screen in a bootloop instead, so I tried flashing another twrp providedby the same user (was named twrp-new) and instead of the glitchy screen this time I’d see the twrp logo and then it would auto reboot after giving several unable to mount data errors. I was not able to do anything in twrp.
I then formatted the whole device except the bootloader. I realize that I should now be flashing a ROM (I have all the required stock ROM files including the scatter file) but SP Flash Tool won’t recognize my device (on three different OSes: Win7, Win8.1, a Linux distro). I also tried out Mobile Upgrade S but it too won’t see my device.
The device’s battery is soldered with three wires to the motherboard, so I can’t easily plug it out. Why do you think that my laptop won’t detect the device? Could it be that the tablet is running all the time (so it’s not off) and the battery lasts long because the device isn’t performing any operations?
As for drivers, when I used SP Flash Tool to flash the new twrp, I didn’t install any drivers myself on Windows 7. Now that it didn’t recognize my device, I installed all kinds of drivers on both Win 7 and 8.1 like MediaTek VCOM USB and Preloader drivers but I stll couldn’t get it to work. I get no feedback from my device no matter what I do (power button, volume up and down buttons).
Do not say that it is hard bricked because all I did was formatting the device except the bootloader.
