[Completed] brom error (2005), device powers up too early

Hi, I've brought my dead gionee back to life but i got some problems with IMEI's and SIM cards, and Finally decided to flash a different ROM with higher micromax version. (From micromax 25 to 52)
Now, my phone does not work and the new operation system is unable to load after powring on the phone which shows a black screen, with LED backlight on the keyboard.
I would have flashed the phone to recover it back but the sp flash tool gives brom error
"BROM ERROR: S_BROM_CMD_STARTCMD_FAIL (2005) [BROM] Can not pass bootrom start command! Possibly target power up too early"
I did a long research on google but couldn't find a working solution. So, I hope you give me link to an equivalent flashing tool or maybe you can help me solve the brom issue.
Device: gionee pioneer p1
Thank you.

Hello, and thank you for using XDA Assist!
Sounds like your EFS got borked a while back. No flashing of ROMs will fix that unfortunately...I would try to get it back as much to stock as possible for warranty/service work.
Since I only see rooting threads about your device, you can ask for advice here:

Hope this helps, and good luck!

I didn't back up the EFS stuff at first place, that's why I think it's a permanant issue. In fact, I would have done a full backup after I had rooted the device but, unfortunately, it seemed that NANDroid, CMW and such custom recoveries were not compatible with it.
Thanks anyway. you did a good job

[Completed] Woke up with Lumia 525 stuck at BitLocker screen. Unable to fix it. WP 10 TP

I tried almost everything up until now. No luck.
Method 1) The Vol key combinations to reset from here:
windowsphone.com/en-in/how-to/wp8/settings-and-personalization/reset-my-phone
Every time i tried this, the phone would restart in between and bring me back to the bitlocker screen.
Method 2) Windows Device Recovery Tool
This tool doesn't detect my phone on any screen except one where i get this:
dropbox.com/s/57fggj7erw3suf1/2016-01-05.png?dl=0
Method 3) Nokia Care Suite
This actually took some time to get. And then i had to make some changes in the preferences for it to read the firmware i had downloaded earlier using WDRT.
Then
File-> Open Product-> Lumia 525-> Programming-> Recovery
Then selected no connection at the top left corner for dead usb flashing.
Selected my firmware and hit start.
And then it started
dropbox.com/s/m008m6tiy5lcmkf/2016-01-05%20%281%29.png?dl=0
And it tried to reboot the phone.
I got the big NOKIA logo at the top of the screen. [FINGERS CROSSED!]
And then i got the Red NOKIA screen. And then,
It disappeared. And i got an error message on NCS.
dropbox.com/s/t2mcagie39aeifg/2016-01-05%20%282%29.png?dl=0
Here's the full error log. Just in case.
FA_ERR_VERIFY_FAIL: 0xFA00000D
Exception:
Nokia.CareSuite.PlugIns.MurzimRecovery.RecoveryDialog.MurzimProgrammingException: FA_ERR_VERIFY_FAIL: 0xFA00000D

The thing is, all of this happened on it's own. I didn't enable bitlocker nor did anything with any WiFi proxy settings.
And when i took it to nokia care, they told me that there was some fault in the motherboard and IT or a part of IT needs to be replaced and i was given a quoted price for the replacement.
Now i'm pretty convinced that all of this is just a software mess up and nothing more. Any ideas people?
Anything that i might not have done? Or maybe done incorrectly?

[Completed] Tablet Total Loss?

I have a Visual Land Prestige 7 (VL-107), and after days of trying to fix it, I'm considering just throwing it away.
It constantly kills Google Search, I can't use several apps because it kills them immediately, I can't do the Vol and Power reboot (I have to use a menu option). I had to manually install Google Play.
I have tried adb, LiveSuit, PhoenixSuit, and PhoenixCard. LiveSuit doesn't detect my tablet, PhoenixSuit just fails outright and tells me to use the Volume and Power buttons for some kind of different reboot (which can't be done on my tablet), and PhoenixCard claims to detect two devices (one of which I can't even get to). Using adb sideload simply results in an "Installation aborted" error.
I can't think of any other way to install a ROM/img file, so I'm really thinking about just throwing the thing away since it's barely usable and can't be upgraded. I just thought I'd post here again (this is my second post about this tablet) and see if anyone has any ideas I may have missed.

[Completed] Lenovo A936 - Bricked - Can't Install Update.zip

Hello all,
I've been a real numpty and managed to brick my phone whilst attempting a ROM flash.
It started when the phone began to display annoying pop-up ads and pre-installed apps without asking me first! Over time it started getting worst and worst to the point I would get 4-5 pop-up ads within an hour.
I tried to root the phone and flash with a ROM, using an app I discovered on the Google Market. Unfortunately now whenever I try to start the phone, it boots the "Lenovo" logo and ends up in a continuous reboot loop.
I've accessed the boot menu and attempted to install the "update package" via the SD card. Unfortunately it continually gives me a failure, I have tried countless ROMS and a stock ROM.
Also my laptops don't find the device when plugged in. No Auto-Play pop up, and nothing shows up on Device Manager I've tried different cables and can't find a solution.
Is anybody able to offer some advice? This is the 2GB Lenovo A936.
Help is greatly appreciated!

[Completed] Flash error? please help

I was going to install a custom ROM on my Coolpad Catalyst android phone, I rooted it, and followed a tutorial on how to flash it.
After attempting to flash my phone with TWRP, when rebooting it gave me a screen saying
"Download and install the package?
This may expose the device to faults and hidden troubles.
Press the Volume Up key to confirm
Press the Volume Down key to concel"
Yes, it is spelled "concel"
upon pressing up or down nothing happens, unless i plug my phone in to a charger then when i press down it reboots to the same screen and if i press up it does nothing at all.
If i try any of the volume+power whatever hotkeys it boots into the same screen aswell. (I tried all of the hotkeys)
When i boot it, it shows the coolpad logo then goes straight to the screen.
Don't know how to fix it, would really love some help
