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

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] Thunderbird i5 - bricked and RIP

Hi folks,
I recently bought a Thunderbird i5 dual core - mtk6577 at cect-shop.com .
As far as good, dumb as I am, I tried to flash a pure android rom of colonelzap.
Since then, the phone is completely gone. The screen is dead and I can't hear anything, that the phone is booting. When I push the power button and the phone is connected to my pc, I can see, that the usb vcom drivers are loaded properly. So I guess its still possible to flash a correct rom.
I contacted the cect-shop.com team last week and the advised me to open up a thread at chinamobiles.org - sadly no appropriate answers yet.
Does anybody have a stock or custom rom, which is supported by the Thunderbird i5?
Or better said, is someone able to help a damn noob to unbrick the phone and to bring it back to life?
I appreciate any hints.
Thanks,
Maik

I have exactly the same phone and the same problem. Can anyone help please ?

R7 PlusM doesn't boot properly anymore

Hi there, I have tried to find a solution today for this issue but I can't find anything useful anywhere .
Last night I received another update via OTA 151115 and proceed to install it as the earlier ones didn't work. Surprisingly this one worked and after restart my phone didn't had any trace of google apps on it, try to install google play, framework and so but the phone says it's not compatible with google (Big time). Then I went to the bootloader to perform a wipe/erase everything and here's when the problem began, it was stuck in the screen that says optimising applications (the one before starting the setup) and after half an hour unattended the phone restart itself one after another, like in a loop.... From this point on, I haven't been able to power on the device anymore.
It was bought through a third party seller from China, already contacted them and waiting for an answer...
Any clue about what can I do to use my phone again?
Update: I can see the oppo logo after pressing volume up plus power buttons for around 15 seconds but it shows for less than a second the screen it appears when it's updating the software and then it switches itself off... Is this a sign of possible recovery in some way?
just downloaded the last 151115 official update from the oppo community forum but I've got a problem. I can not enter the fasboot or recovery mode because the phone is like trying to install something and it constantly switches itself off... The day this happened, I had two files in my root directory, one was the few update and the other was a full Google thing in the same format than the fw file, I'm afraid I selected the wrong one and that's why the phone went crazy. I guess if there's some way to cancel that attempt to update the wrong file or reset that thing in some way, I'd be able to start over but I can't find anything grgrgr
By the way, the last ota update allowed google maps to work flawlessly and also Instagram, two of my biggest concerns with the phone
I'm even trying to contact oppo service to send the thing and sort it out that way xx
Cheers
Pedro

I've just contacted Oppo Customer Service in Europe to see if they have any solution for my problem as I can't make this thing to start and the battery also doesn't seems to be charging though... No response for the moment, just an automated one confirming the reception of my enquiry
Should I start thinking about my lovely new phone as my new paper weight?

No, no you have a chance to save your phone. If you have to R7 plus M Oppo Chinese version, I can help you. I also had this problem, but he was able to solve it. My Skype: ed_mobstyle.

Hi mate, thanks for the answers. Yes it is the China mobile version "M" I don't have Skype I'm afraid grgrgr
Cheers

I was able to fix this problem fairly easily.
First I entered recovery (press Power + Volume Down when the phone is booting up)
Then from the device menu I installed a ROM, you want to download the version you last used. (MAKE SURE IT IS FOR THE OPPO R7 PLUS M)
After installing the stock rom, it will go into installation and have you set up your phone.
After you installed the ROM, download OPPO tools v 1.6.5
Open Oppo Tools and root your phone this will take a few minutes.
After you have rooted your device open Oppo Tools again and select Unlock Google Mobile Services (this too me two weeks to figure out).
Let the phone restart, after it is finished, you should have basic google functionalities (Playstore and Frameworks).
Now since you are rooted, it means that your phone will not download any further OTAs and you will have to install them as ROMs, you can do so by repeating the above process, but I'm not sure of the functionality of Oppo Tools past the most current version.
I cant post links to provide you to where the ROM files and Oppo Tools are at this moment
The roms will be located on the "[ROM][STOCK] Official R7 Plus Roms | R7Plus, R7PlusF, R7PlusM [15 Sep 2015]" of Oppo Fourms
The Oppo Tools will be located when you google "OPPO Tools apk" on your computer and it will take you to the thai version of Oppo Fourms follow the link there to download the apk

Hi mate, thanks for your answer but my problems is that I can't enter the recovery mode cause the phone try to install something and then it switches itself off
I've tried to connect the phone to my laptops and sometimes they recognised it as Qhsub something and I can't find anywhere this driver. Then all the softwares I've got ask me for a scatter file which I don't have....
Also trying to contact support from the brand. For now just send them my data and the phone's imei and now waiting for the magic response... They are excessively slow in their answers!
Thanks so much anyway
Cheers
Pedro

Still at the same point mate! The thing keeps on trying to install something and switches itself off. My windows laptop runs on win10, the other is a Mac so I guess useless for this matters... The battery runs out faster than ever even being off. Disaster! Lol

Hi mate, my problem is that my computer detects the phone as qhsusb_bulk and I've tried every single file I found with that name and nothing changes, well, the device name from unknown to com1, com2... up to com13 I have seen.... Other thing is that I can't enter the fastboot mode or recovery mode neither. I wish I had an oppo service near home but I live in Uk, now I'm trying to get service from oppostyle and waiting for an answer. To be honest with you, I'm really annoyed with all this, never had a problem with bricked androids or iphones until I met this "guy" lol
Cheers
Pedro

I'm really sorry dude I hope I can help you as I did for mine it was quit simple with the same driver problems,so try to uninstall all drivers you have for oppo and install the one I shared with you taken from my ohone directly that the only way you can give any commands to your phone to switch to fastboot mode even if the problem still present

when I try to install the driver on my win10 laptop it says this...

Using an old win7 laptop I managed to install the bloody Qhsub driver and now the phone appears in the com ports under the name Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM4) does this means the phone really doesn't exist?

Update to this thread, I can't do anything until I find a proper driver for the phone which actually is recognised by my laptop as Qhsub_bulk and I can't bloody find this anywhere at least for making 6795 processors or specifically for this model...
Any clue?

Hi, please check now

There's any hope for hard bricked Moto G3? (no fastboot, Qdloader 9008)

Hi guys its the 3rd time that i post here in the forum hopping to restore my "dead" Moto G3 XT1543 1GB RAM Snapdragon 410 (MSM8916).
Some days ago I've unlock my phone bootloader in order to install CM14.1 and i did it with success! but my sim card wasn't working, so, I tried to look for a solution. And I found a video on youtube that showed the supost fix for this issue, but i was wrong. I've flashed the file which broke my phone immediately and now my phone doesn't do ANYTHING!! Well, at least it shows on my computer as QDLoader 9008 but for now on I dont know what I have to do! I know that the easiest way to fix it is buying another motherboard, but I think that still hope for someone to find the way to fix it! Well, if the pc recognizes the processor so there's something to be done right?
I had searched all over the internet during this week, and I found some interesting possible ways to fix it, but im not a developer so I need help and opinions from other people.
1)The first way was to change the mode to 9006 aka diag mode though some files wich in theory allows you to acces eMMC partition and restore all the 29 inside partition and recover your phone. The problem is: I don't know how to change it to diag mode, but yea i have the needed files, and i don't have the tool to acces the eMMC of the phone and i dont have a backup of the partitions to write over the corrupted ones.
2)The second way was to use this tutorial *http://www.droidsavvy.com/unbrick-qualcomm-mobiles/* that i still havent tried since my phone isn't with me right now. So, in this supose way we can contact the phone through a tool called QFIL and try to "Inject" the bootloader or whatever, in the phone to foce him into a bootloop and so enabling the fastboot mode which allows you to install a rom later on. well the problem for this one is, i dont know if it works on your moto g3 but i gonna try. (if you try this option tell me and i gonna upload the needed files because the folder avaliable in the link contais files for the processor Snapdragon 610 and Moto G3 processor is a 410)
3) The third way is a Jtag repair in a authorized store, but i dont think Moto G3 have a jtag fix (im posting this possibility because i could be wrong)
4) In this way could be a updated Blank Flash actually used to hard unbrick the Moto G1 and I Guess the G2? But im not a developer and I dont know too much about programing, but i'm sure someone out there is a pro
5) Use the QPST which is kinda the same thing as use a eMMC tool? ( again im not a dev ) and from what i got, is used to config all your phone from scratch. would be good if there's a tuto out there
6) Sit and wait till Motorola release the MBM-CI 5.0 which from what i got is used like the Blank Flash or used to make a Blank Flash idk
AGAIN!!! IM NOT A DEV, THIS IS JUST SOME WAYS THAT I FOUND OUT THERE ON THE INTERNET WHICH COULD BE USED TO FIX YOUR BELOVED MOTO G3!! SO, I'M SHARING ALL MY RESEACH WITH YOU GUYS BECAUSE IS A SHAME HAVE TO DUMP MY DEVICE LIKE THAT OR HAVE TO EXPEND LIKE R$ 500 IN A NEW MOTHER BOARD WHICH IN DOLLAR ITS LIKE 1600 U$D (this is Brazil guys yea it's a horrible country T_T ) SO I HOPE THAT THIS POST HELPS SOMEBODY AND IF YOU GOT SOME INFO SHARE TO HELP US TRY TO FIX THE PHONE!

hey you got successful??? in unbricking your phone?

You'll need blankflash for this device, that's the only thing which will take it back to bootloader mode so you can flash a firmware. Blankflash is usually found in stock firmwares, however the chances are kinda low

yeah, you can try but the models are different and also the partitions inside the phone... try it out and if it works you can post here

No u can't try the Moto g2 firmware..... As Moto g2 is also waiting for MBM CI 5 file for lollipop and Motorola is not releasing those file needed for blankflash

Sorry to bump needlessly but has there been any progress in this regard?
Has anyone found a solution or blankflash files?
I managed to hardbrick my device while trying to resize the system and userdata partitions (stupid, I know)

No... And just like previous Moto devices, it is unlikely we will ever get the necessary files.

Same situation, any updates?
I'm currently facing the same situation with XT1543, it ran Marshmallow 6.0 stock (came with Lollipop) and suddenly it hard bricked (last time i checked there were no software updates and even if there were, the phone would not restart itself to update). I ran blankflash but the results were these:
greeting device for command mode
opening device: \\.\COM3
OKAY [ 0.001s]
greeting device for command mode
FAILED (blank-flash:greet-device:error reading packet)

If you can't get to the bootloader, it's toast... we do not have the proper files to do a Qload reflash, and the chances of getting them are near zero.
Try the usual... drain the battery and hold Power+Vol Dn (normal method to access bootloader) or press and hold Power+Vol Dn for 15-30 seconds, if you can't get to the bootloader there is NO recovery method available. Sorry.

+1 on this.
The only other thing I would do is take it apart and detach one wire from battery and short that lose wire to the other wire (short the phone, NOT the battery!) for 15 sec or so and reconnect wire to battery and put phone back together and try boot to bootloader (power plus vol-dn). If no go, at that point if it were worth it I would give it to ATT to fix, or toss it in the drawer for parts.

If there is no bootloader and the only thing that can be seen on the computer is QdLoader mode, it's done... Send it to Moto for repair or send it to the recycler, there is no fix we can do.

Bricked Idol 3 (5.5) ANY help is widely appreciated, please

Do people even check these things anymore? My phone is HARD BRICKED. The screen won't turn on, only the white LED is flashing when I plug it in, and before anyone asks, NO I CAN'T ENTER DOWNLOAD MODE/RECOVERY. My phone only shows up as a Qualcomm device. If you see this, at least tell me if I can fix it or not. I've tried Mobile Upgrade Q, Panasonic Eluga, and QFIL software but they all FAILED. What am I missing?? Oh and can someone PLEEEASE link me to an Alcatel Idol 3 stock Lollipop ROM because I'm dying here. Don't suggest Mobile Upgrade Q for getting the stock ROM. Refer to my last post for a less stressful details. Thaaanks.

Use Panasonic Eluga Switch program and what error did you get?

I got Error Code 5002. I can't get my phone into Download / Recovery, but if I press the power button for a really long time while connected to my PC, my PC makes a USB disconnect sound. My phone still shows up in Device Manager if I do this though.

sry for the double post, but maybe this is indeed hopeless. I've been playing with the idea of booting it up with an SD card though... I might as well try since my phone is already dead and after trying everything else, nothing seems to help or unbrick my phone... if I manage to find something interesting, i'll post it here or make a new thread.

Did you solve this problem?
