Hey, guys good afternoon. I have a Cubot Note S which I manage quite stupidly, to brick. The phone was rooted with KingRoot and I accidentally press to update to the latest software version from the Update Center of the phone and before it managed to complete, it showed an "ERROR" message. After that, I stuck into a boot loop. I've been searching the internet for a stock firmware of the phone in a .zip file because the Cubot has something like a stock Recovery mode, which I can boot to, to factory reset my phone, to boot into bootloader or apply an update through an sdcard etc. So far I only found a rom on needrom and it is in .rar and has many other irrelevant files in it. It has instructions below how to perform a clean flash of the ROM, but something goes wrong at the process. Either the SP-DMT (Flash Tool) doesn't work properly or my computer doesn't recognize my phone and I can't find the proper drivers for it. Has anyone ever been in this situation before with a chinese phone? Please help out with this because the cell phone belongs to a dear friend of mine and I can't afford to buy a new one these days. Thank you in advance.

Hi everybody;
I'm having big problems with a Lenovo S6000L tablet which became a brick for a while and came to (half) life again because I can get into recovery or fastboot but it won't turn on again further than that after a factory reset. I used SP Flash Tool with (stock, I suppose) rom "S6000_A442_001_025_131017_ww_wifi" which takes me to a "Please button to set the Country Code" again and again to select the Country option but afterwards it will show a time "Timeout Failed".
Before it went wrong I had made a backup of the previous rom using Clockworkmod and the problem is that, after the factory reset, I have lost that CWM recovery and can´t install CWM back again from the rom backup which was ok because SP Flash Tool doesn't seem to install it. Installing CWM would solve my problem but I am scared about flashing the wrong files and get a brick again. Of course , part of the problem is that I can't use MTK Droid Tools to install CWM because apparently Debugging is off and MTK DT doesn't recognize the tablet when connected, which SP Flash Tool does.
So could anybody, please, give a hand to make this half-brick work again?
Thank you.

Hi,
I would like to thank you all beforehand, I am a long time user of the forum but this is my first post.
I was removing some malware from a chinese tablet (3nstar model mt83x2_mz101) and accidentally renamed one of the system folders.
I did not installed custom recovery (I know, big mistake ...) and now the tablet is stuck on a boot loop.
So far I can only enter stock recovery and some kind of test mode but I was unable to find any fastboot mode.
I would really appreciate if someone can help me on what can I do or if there is any way to install either CWM or TWRP from stock recovery on this tablet.
Thanks a lot!

Hello,
I got a dreadful malware on my phone that takes it over almost completely, a hand cursor appears on the top right of the screen and it downloads apps left and right even if I disable download from unknown sources.
I have done a factory reset and that thing is still there, I can't seem to flash a ROM with all the tools I found online, flashify does not see the zip file, ROM manager does not work either. I have tried to follow various tutorials but always arrive at a standstill, the recovery apps just don't seem to see anything but folders.
My phone is a Jiayu F2, on the official site they recommend to flash with SP flashtools but I can't use that since my USB port is broken.
Are there any other options? I have superuser enabled, can do very little with my phone except in safe mode. Airplane mode tames the malware a little but not completely.
Malwarebytes does not see anything wrong with my phone anymore ( there used to be a riskware), yet it's still completely unusable.
Can someone help me please? I'm getting desperate and can't buy a new phone before 2 weeks
Thanks

Hi everyone,
I own a Motorola Moto G2 (XT1068, dual sim) that came used with Android 6.0 on it.
I installed TWRP (twrp-3.0.2-3-titan.img) on it but failed to root Android 6.0 as well as 5.0 for whatever not yet understood reason. I don't do Android development for a living but I'm an IT professional, so handling adb and fastboot as well as reading and understanding instructions isn't a problem.
I flashed stock Android 4.4.4 (RETDEALL_XT1068_4.4.4_KXB21.85-14) which I successfully rooted by installing SuperSU via TWRP.
Next I updated SuperSU, verified that root access is indeed working and installed FlashFire, which I hoped to use to install OS upgrades, possibly without losing root. FlashFire is new to me (as of yesterday), everything else mentioned up to here is not.
I used the "Flash ZIP or OTA" action from within FlashFire and the previously downloaded update file in the /cache directory. I can't reproduce the file name since the phone is currently unusable and I didn't write the file name down prior to using FlashFire.
The state of the phone after this unsuccessful attempt was that of a broken USB device, i.e. unable to even register as whatever type of USB device. I learned that this can be fixed by holding the power button down for more than one minute, after which I managed to
get the phone to be shown as working "RELINK HS-USB QDLoader 9008" USB serial device in Windows 7 device manager.
I used the information in these two threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/how-to-unbrick-moto-g-falcon-t3394788
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/how-to-revive-hard-bricked-moto-g-t2833798
Since I started with Android 4.4.4 trying to upgrade to 5.0, I had hoped that the blank flash package for one of these Android versions would help fix my problem, but as of now, this doesn't seem to be the case. At the end of the blank flashing process, I get the message
FAILED <blank-flash:sdl-transfer-image:sdl-hello: error sending packet>
After that, the phone still has a black screen and cannot boot into anything. Repeating blank flash works after resetting whatever part of it is still working by holding the power button down for about 30+ seconds.
Is there anything obvious (or maybe even not so obvious) that I missed?
Thanks for reading and any help and/or pointers in the right direction.

Hello everyone!
I accquired this phone froma chinese online shop (the third one) and i want to change the chinese rom to euro firmware.
The problem resides in that when i changed the rom following the instructions of this forum in the other 2 previous phones i got it was everything alright and worked correctly, but with this last one i can't even make miflash/qlifil recognise Qualcom Com port. Now i only get at miflash the phone recognised with this weird name: b65bc2d5 . I'm affraid to try flashing because i didn't see anyone who got that name on the program and i don't want to get a brick. Also i tried to change the rom by sdcard with fastboot using the same file i used to install the other 2 phone that worked but it still says that the phone is Z90-7 and it wont take the installation file ( it's the second file on boycracked stock official lenovo vibe shot rom page). The thing is that when you upgrade to eu rom the phone model changes to Z90a40 and takes that rom, but not this last one.
I installed all the drivers manually because the phone on vendor mode can't install them itself (vol up + power button and then plug to the pc).
The version of chinese rom is android 6.0.1.
I hope this info will make someone know the solution because i don't.
Thanks and regards.
P.D: Now i'm triying to plug and detect but can't even do miflash detects it.
