I recently bricked my RCA tablet while modifying the boot file in the device's system folder. It was stuck in a bootloop so I followed the directions in another forum to use SP Flash tool and flash it to reinstall the stock rom. While following those instructions to the T, it seems that my device will now no longer boot, won't charge, and is not recognized by my computer (all the symptoms of a hard-brick as I am told). I followed a brief fix explained by a self-help forum within hovatek to use the SP Flash tool to only flash the preloader file just to try and get the device to boot again, but not even that worked. I would like to know what else there is I can do to fix it or if there's no other option but to send it back to the factory. I am using a RCT6773W22 Tablet w/ V38-V1.8.0

Thank you, the first link you gave me was actually the first thread that I followed to fix my tablet when it was still soft-bricked. Which then led to it becoming hard-bricked. I shall try and repost in the second link you gave me when I get the chance.

Hi,
Knock on is not working on my LG g2 from past 2 days. I tried factory reset knock on/off toggle, device test, calibrate sensors. Finally I decided to return the phone but I need to unroot it for that.
As I cannot follow the usual process because my phone is not recognized in download mode via USB (both pc/linux) I tried installing a stock rom(80020k) and then uninstall the root. also I replaced the rtc files and the I tried to update the phone to D80020u but it fails with error saying device is suspected of rooting.
I became over smart and flashed a stock recovery which won't function.
No root, No recovery now. Tried rooting with ioroot25 doesn't work because it requires a functional stock recovery.
Any help/suggestions that can get me back to stock?
Thanks.

Hey there,
i followed these instructions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263455&page=6) to root my phone - but that's not so important.
Unfortunately after using SP Flash Tool (successfully with green ring) my phone won't turn on again. It is still possible to flash the phone, but as mentioned...no reboot.
Does anyone please have an idea how to fix this problem?
Cheers,
Hiasl

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.

Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
The thread linked below has many things for various Acer Liquid Z devices, find your stock firmware your model number.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-firmwares-roms-cwm-root-acer-mtk-t2945933
You may need to download your stock firmware and the flashtools and either flash just the boot image and fix it or flash the whole firmware to fix it.

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.
