[Q] [BRICKED]Cubot GT72

I bought a Cubot GT72 from the net - its basically a chinese knock-off with some very nice specs. And it was working great out of the box; but I had to experiment - right?
Edit: cannot post links; but if you got to www cubot net - you can find the phone easily. The stock ROM is also available.
I fired up MTK-Tools and rooted the phone - no problem there. Then I tried to create a custom CWM and install - that's when things starting going down the drain. It overwrote the recovery and boot partitions - so the phone stopped working. And since then I have been trying various ways to unbrick it.
Luckily, I have another phone with the exact same specs - and was able to download a backup using MTK-Tools and another one using SPFlash.
Problem - the phone is not switching on at all. When I connect it to the computer (after installing the MTK drivers) - nothing happens. When I connect without battery and keep the Up volume pressed - the computer detects an "MTK COM Port", installs it and within 5-10 seconds the port disappears, comes back after 5-10 seconds - and this cycle keeps repeating. I'm not able to connect to the phone using wither MTK-Tools or SPFlash.
When I connect the working phone - it shows up as "MTK VIA COM Port" and I can connect to it using SPFlash.
Have opened the phone and looked for test points - found one that switches on the phone and connects to the computer - but the result is the same as when I connect with the volume up pressed.
Please help - I'm at my wits end.

Ok Google "mt6572 com port drivers" and look for ***.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.***‎, install the software off that site and see if your computer recognizes the com port, hopefully you'll be able to flash the original rom back to it, let me know how you get on :good:

Thanks Neo, The driver is installed - the problem I'm facing is that the phone keeps going offline every 30-40 seconds and hence am unable to flash.

okies
OK thanks for the reply. Its obvious these MTxxxx devices wait for a signal when you plug them in.
1.Try going to the SDK folder and open a command prompt, type fastboot flash boot "boot.img" > point the boot.img to where you have downloaded the original boot.img for the device.
2.When the fastboot gives you the [waiting for device] prompt plug in your phone.
Let me know how you get on, i'm going to be working on a program to flash these phones from windows. :good:
p.s if the above works then flash your original recovery as well

Hi Neo - tried. The phone gets detected, but fastboot remains stuck at [waiting for device]. Please see screenshot.
Also, I think the preloader is also gone

Diffrent Drivers
Ok i noticed on there website that there are a different set of drivers, where the ones you have installed emulates a com port the other ones gives you direct access to the USB port, go to adb and type adb devices so that your phone will show up in the device manager, uninstall those drivers and install these ones ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm.
Then try and flash the preloader in the usual way, first type flash preloader {name of file} then connect your phone and hopefully you will be able to flash your phone again.
Let me know how you get on again :good:

Apologies for the late reply - tried your method - the phone gets detected as MediaTek DA USB VCOM port - but fastboot or SP flash are unable to detect.
Also, now I have managed to brick the other phone also. Was trying to upgrade the ROM from cubot's website. And even that one is bricked
Really frustrated here.

The full ROM dump has been uploaded here - is there any way I can simply flash the entire dump back into the phone.
http://www.4shared.com/file/wtNcfbRu/ROM_0.html

hi, did you manage to work out anything? i have the exact same problem with my GT72, and i'm out of ideas.

I finally gave up and sent it for repairing. The vendor has been trying to repair it for the last 2 weeks and has given up too. The problem with my phones is that they are not original cubot - the seller on aliexpress is selling fake cubot phones - and we're unable to find the correct files to write to the phone.
Now if only I could find a way to write back the ROM0 file without the scatter files - I had though that would be easy, but am unable to do anything about it

maybe i have a fake one, too then. wierd stuff, that is. faking a $60 phone...
anyway, i'm guessing you can only use that ROM_0 file to create a proper preloader.bin for the phone, but you need a working one for that.
you could do that in MTK droid root & tools, but since our phones doens't get detected, we're stumped.
i think having the right preloader could push us to the right direction, but i'm not planning to order a new phone to revive my dead one
anyway, if you make any progress, let us know!

I backed up the ROM_0 file from a working phone (had 2 - broke both); have uploaded it and shared in this thread. So, if you can create the preloader.bin from it - please be my guest.

i know you uploaded it, but the problem is that i can't do anything with it in MTK droid root & tools, since it only works if there is a working phone connected to the pc.

I had even created a scatter file using MTK Droid - the only problem is the scatter doesn't work with the phone. See if it helps you.

here's my "progress":
i was able to salvage a preloader.bin from your dump, this was the only one i could get flash tool to start preparing flashing.
i ran into numerous errors after that, but i managed to build a seemingly flashable rom, but it just does not work.
i could format the nand with it, but when i try to flash, it says that the bootlader exceeds partition boundary, whatever that means.
so i'm pretty much stuck at this point, but i'll attach the preloader for you, maybe it will work with your scatter.
the scatter btw did not work for me, since the addresses were wrong (i guess that scatter is for 512MB version, too).
so i built a scatter from scratch with notepad++ it's in the zip, too.
now i just wish there would be someone with a 256MB version able to make a backup with mtk droid and share with us.

@jamsubzero check this guide

@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.

OPPO Joy 3 Unbricking Tutorial [Windows Computer is Needed]

Have you just started flashing ROMS on your Oppo Joy 3, Feeling confident that you'll succeed, and then suddenly, after flashing your phone with that new shiny software you found online, your phone refuses to turn on or to mount the system when your in recovery. Well If this is happening to you, then you have just bricked your phone.​
Now before I start the tutorial, make sure that you have these files/tools present on your computer:
SP Flash Tool
Oppo Joy 3 Firmware
MTK Drivers​
Now Lets Begin​
Step 1​Make sure that all files stated are in your computer, if not, download them all​
Step 2​Unpack the Firmware to a place you can easily find it​
Step 3​Remove the Battery, Sim Card, and Memory Card from your phone​
Step 4​Make sure that MTK Drivers are also installed on your computer​
Step 5​Open SP Flash Tools and Select the Scatter file found in the unpacked firmware. File name of scatter file is MT6582_Android_scatter.txt​
Step 6​After successful loading of scatter file, click the Green Download Button and connect your phone to the PC While holding either UP or DOWN volume keys.IF SP FLASH TOOL SAYS THAT THE ROM IS UNRECOGNIZED PROCEED TO STEP 7 IF NOT, TO STEP 8​
Step 7​If SP Flash Tool says the ROM is unrecognized, remove phone from PC, then Click the Format tab in SP Flash Tools and click Start, Connect phone to PC While Holding down Volume UP or DOWN and wait until finished. Repeat Step 7​
Step 8​While SP Flash Tools is downloading the Firmware to your phone, DO NOT REMOVE THE CABLE. Just wait for the download to finish​
Step 0​When SP Finishes Downloading, remove cable and insert battery to the phone, you may now proceed to turn on the phone, It will take awhile for the phone to boot up​
Step 10​Whoa! Step 10 already, after awhile, the phone will go to the lock screen for you to yet once again flash another ROM onto your phone​
FINISHED​IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS, REPLY TO THIS THREAD OR PM ME​EDIT: I Don't know what you guys mean about password.. There ain't no Passwords I put in

Question HELP! Stuck in BOOTLOOP [Tecno Spark 5 pro], cant access safe mode or fast boot mode

Tried to root Tecno Spark 5 pro (KD7) with magisk and after unlocking bootloader everything was working smoothly until i rebooted with the patched magisk image and now its stuck in bootloop.
Pressing power button and volume up to access boot menu doesn't work nor does connecting it to pc and trying to use adb shell.
I thought maybe the solution would be to try to let it run our of battery and try again but that will take a hell of a long time.
PLEASE!!! If there is any help or suggestions just let me know. Its a brand new phone as well ****

Yeah, i accessed the fastboot to load the patched img file and then fastboot rebooted and it just got stuck in the loop

Pressing power button and volume up to access boot menu doesn't work nor does connecting it to pc and trying to use adb shell.
I thought maybe the solution would be to try to let it run our of battery and try again but that will take a hell of a long time.

This tutorial linked here fixed mine (also tecno spark 5 pro, mediatek 6765). my phone was also in orange state bootloop. exactly as you describe.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/repair-dead-hard-bricked-realme-3-3i-tutorial.4224255/
i had to slightly modify the instructions to suit the spark 5 pro. the only necessary changes are this
uninstall all usb vcom drivers you may have previously installed
FOLLOW THE TUTORIAL TILL YOU GET to where you have to download the bypass utility and exploits collection. please download the one with the mega link (ie Bypass utility compiled)
CONTINUE WITH THE TUTORIAL TILL YOU GET TO FLASHING FIRMWARE. here too my method deviated from the tutorial. even though my phone was detected as com9 by the bypass uility, i could not choose it in UART mode in sp flash tools. So just use usb mode in sp flash tools and it would still work.
CONTINUE WITH THE TUTORIAL. no need to load an authentication file. just load the scatter file and use "Download only" method
if you do this well your phone will be revived!

How were you able to switch off your phone,which button combination worked?i have all the necessary things but i can't install the stock rom with sp-flashtool since its still stuck in bootloop and the phone must be completely off for the installation process

The phone doesn't need to be completely off. allow it to bootloop.
Just follow the process in the tutorial linked to and you should
be fine.
by the way am assuming your bootloader is already unlocked.

please send the link to download the auth file good sir

what smartphone are you using?
what is the operating system of your computer? windows or linux?
so far what have you done?
if you are using a spark 5 pro, you don' t need an auth file. I revived mine without an auth file.
I looks like i would have to write a detailed step-by-step guide on how it worked for me

i followed the steps to the letter but gives me errors everytime

if you found mediatek driver for mt67xx or the one you used can you send me please,i've searched for it and keep finding for mt65xx

revolut not available for custom roms

revolut app is not available for custom roms...
how to completely remove twrp, custom rom and revert back to stock?
i don't have sd card.

model ver: redmi 9a M2006C3LG

people can't find simple solutions...
look https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-relock-the-bootloader.3876887/#post-78372719
Information is scattered all over the Internet, there is no one guide that covers everything. For example here they write that i can't use Xiaomi Flash Tool because i have mediatek cpu... i have to use sp flash tool, why there is no good guide in xda? https://androidmtk.com/use-mi-flash-pro-download-xiaomi-firmware

followed this
and my redmi 9a is now competely dead... black screen all the time... so good support, shiity sites, a lot tutorials with different files etc. so nice...

all these hardbrick methods not working because now phone is not recognized by pc, installed everything, volume+ and connecting and errors, no device in libusb - removed before.
python stuck on [2023-04-26 21:52:11.289733] Waiting for device
what to do with this phone? move to trash?

omg thank god it worked -.-

Well, you can use MiFlashTool, create a folder named *logs*( idk if it's logs or log but try logs first) inside the MiFlashTool folder if you don't have it ( because u will see errors). Open the tool, select your rom, connect your phone in fastboot, click refresh to scan again, and click flash

P.S. If your device can boot to fastboot you can use MiFlashTool method
-----------------------------------------------------------------
My bad, I didn't read all of that.
Let's see , you need some tools, Mediatek bypass tool ( I used The app not the python one) , sp flash tool, and ... LibUsb first time, nothing else i think. Ok so :
1. Open lib usb and do your thing yk what I mean. ( Skip this if u did that )
2. Open Sp flash tool and bypass tool
3. Load your rom in sp Flash tool app, if you have blackscreen or something press firmware upgrade, if not just download, and deselect the preloader??
4. On bypass app, press bypass button, connect phone holding the volume up and power button i think, you can try another combination if it doesn't work ( try holding for ~2 seconds more after bypassing ). It should work.
5. Back to Sp Flash Tool, open settings, go to connections( idk i forgot the name, but u should , and change from USB to uport or smth, to your phone port.
6. Flash .
If you need help, just give me your discord? I don't remember all the things and yeah.....
