After experiencing help from the fantastic meizu community i have decided to make a guide for unbricking this device. This guide is aimed to help people with M3 or M3s that cannot boot. Please only follow these steps to unbrick your device
I am not responsible for bricked devices and exploding phones due to following these steps.
By following these steps you agree that it is you, yourself that chose to follow these steps and I will not take any responsibility for your loss.
Before Starting
1. Can you boot ?
No. Go to Question 2.
Yes. You have came to the wrong place, but feel free to finish reading.2. Do you see the flyme logo when you boot?
Yes. Goto Stuck on Flyme Logo
No. Go to Question 33. Do you see the Meizu Logo and phone reboots over and over
Yes. Go to Testing
No. You flashed a wrong or damaged preloader, chances of unbricking LOW, Go to Sp Flash Tool
Testing
1. Shutdown your phone by holding power button (if you can)
2. Turn on phone with power + volume up until vibrates
I see a flyme logo & recovery options, Goto Stuck on Flyme Logo
Still rebooting, Continue
3. Turn on phone with power + volume down until vibrates
I see the words 'fastboot' at bottom, Go to Sp Flash Tool
I see nothing, your preloader is dead, I cannot help you :crying:.

Questions & Answers
Q. Why is my phone unrepairable if i can get to fastboot?
A. By not being able to access fastboot means the preloader partition is damaged and SP Flash Tool will not work.Q. Why is my phones not bootable.
A. It could be caused by many factors but mainly caused by failure in updating firmware due to no battery or incorrect flashing of ROM.Q. Why is it so hard to recover meizu phones
A. Meizu phone uses the new mt67xx which is not supported by MTK droid tool causing problems for users to obtain the scatter file, and also the locked bootloader leading the users not being able to recover the devices the traditionally using fastboot.Q. I have a m3 note can i use this method?
A. Yes if anyone gets there hands on the mt6755 scatter file for meizu. But if not NoQ. HELP ME IT'S NOT WORKING!!!
A. Calm down, follow the steps again, if not comment below.Q. How do i brick my device

Any display? or just black?
What rom did you install? If official you might be able to get a replacement through warranty.
Try SP Flash Tools, instruction in the first post. Chances are low but test if it detects after pressing download.

i used DA_PL.BIN and got the same error, maybe bootloader is locked thats why this error?
The error shows when your device started before the software can flash anything. SP flash tools works with locked bootloader, maybe your preloader is 100% dead

No recovery, Fastboot mode is working. What should I do with this error?
Is there a way to work on me with meizu m3 max
Hi,
SPFlashtools fails to connect dead bricked Meizu M3S
Connecting to USB system recognizes as
MediaTek DA USB VCOM Port (COM7)
But other ports including Preloader are not
Do I have any hope to recover phone?
After following these steps, one by one, no matter if all went OK, my phone (m3s) won’t boot and it seems it is completely dead now. It can’t turn on. Power button looks unresponsive. What should I do? Is there any help?
many thanks for this guide @bluecub1st . The problem I have with my M3s is that it boots perfectly fine and works well, i just cannot enter recovery by using Volume + and power, and flashing a new firmware from inside Flyme OS just reboots the phone. I can enter fastboot though no problem, but i tried to do the SP Flash tool method listed and I just get this error message:
ERROR : S_TIMEOUT (0x412)
Any ideas how to fix this and get my recovery back? Really need some help so i can flash flyme 6...
i got error from sp_flashtool
ERROR : STATUS_SEC_DL_FORBIDDEN (0X0020004)

Hit "Thanks" if found this thread helpful....
Thanks for the solution...... it works well !!
Though my yuphoria was working perfectly fine, i wanted to factory reset my mobile for some reasons, which i was not able to do. Both soft and hard custom recovery options were not working (no recovery screen pop up, mobile boots and stuck at YU logo ), tried your solution and it worked.
Just one input for new users like me, where you have asked users to install adb drivers, i tried that part but on running the bat file, the device was not detected, hence had to add yuphoria device drivers from their official site, i am not able to paste the link here but file name is YUPHORIA_drivers-v1.0.zip, also USB debugging option needs to be turned on in developer option for this solution to work.
Rest all steps work exact as you explained.

Yup bro its difficult to set bootloader driver for yuphoria. But you can install it manually. But always remember to "disable driver signature verification" before installation and i will update the derivers link for manual installation if you message me the link.
will this work on unlocked bootloader

"yup"... it will work. There is nothing to do with boot loader. It will flash the stock rom and boot-loader will get locked again. You have to unlock the boot-loader again if you want to flash custom rom again.
And i will get the official ota updates from YU as well ?

yep bro.. you will get the updates and i don't think you know that, there are no restrictions for unlocking/locking boot-loader of YU mobile. I mean the warranty not void if you unlock the boot-loader.

Is driver properly installed? Or retry to download setup again if you have done right then
1. boot into bootloader
2. run bat file it will take some time. If all goes well then it will say about relocking of boot-loader.
3. seletct yes and restart.
4. you will see yu logo and it will take 10-15 minutes to load so stay calm! If it doesn't load then try again.

Hi guys,
As mentioned in a previous thread, my F1 is soft bricked, only with the Oppo logo, no fastboot or recovery. I need to flash it again with a soft called QFIL (soft for Qualcomm devices). But it can't be done with the ordinary stock roms, I need a specific rom compatible with QFIL, like the ones used in the service centers. Is there anyone who can provide me with such a rom, or a link to download one in order to save my device?
Thank you
Can someone owning a Oppo f1 use QFIL to extract all the necessary files in order to flash them to my phone? I would be very grateful.
I have the, flashing tool and rom needed to unbrick the f1 from any softbricked state.
Let me know if you still need it, and I'll upload it somewhere and write a quick guide.
Worked for me even after I killed the bootloader.

oppo f1f from optus australia need qfill firmware
i m from india set come to me for sim unlock
i follow this guide (How To unlock Oppo F1f - Guide unlock network Oppo mobile F1f from youtube) to flash modified firmware
but at the first step i flashed magictricks.zip & set goes to qdloader 9008 mode after reboot
so i need optus australia firmware,thanks in advance
Need some help - Msm8x39DownloadTool.exe not finding phone
Qualcomm HS-USB QSLoader9008 on COM3, according to Device Manager, yet Msm8x39DownloadTool.exe doesn't want to find it at all - Device not connected.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Edit: I have made some progress with some steps not included above.
1) Disable 'Driver Signature Enforcement' in Windows (Google is your friend)
2) Before installing the provided drivers, hold the Volume Up button on your phone, and insert USB from PC > Phone. This places the phone into QHSUSB mode and will be found in Device Manager, under Ports (The Android Bootloader Interface (fastboot) device has an ID of '18D1-D00D', while the QHSUSB device ID is '05C6-9008'.. bingo!).
3) Install the driver as directed. This will change the device from QHSUSB mode to HS-USB QDLoader 9008 on COM3.
Continue with the rest of the guide.
Stock recovery will be returned (v1.2 Rooted - I don't remember this). From here you can install Project Spectrum again, and return back to ColorOS after that.
Hopefully this helps.

I tried this my phone has no Fastboot but recovery says V1.2(Rooted)
I tried this multiple times without luck.
As you still have access to stock recovery, you dont need to use download mode.
Simply put a stock rom zip on your sdcard and flash via the stock recovery. (might have to wipe data also if flashing a different version of the rom).
That will fix your phone.
To get access to fastboot (should you need to flash TWRP recovery), flash magictricks.zip via recovery.
If your phone is so busted you no longer have access to fastboot and recovery it will automatically default to QDloader mode (download mode).
If you want to access download mode while your recovery is still ok, switch phone off, hold Vol-Up (or Vol-down, can't recall) and plug in the usb cable.
AS LONG AS YOU HAVE ACCESS TO RECOVERY, USE THAT TO FLASH A STOCK FIRMWARE, GETTING THE QDLOADER DRIVERS CORRECTLY INSTALLED ON WINDOWS CAN BE RATHER TRICKY.

2. Power off phone. Once it is off click volume up and power button together ,now screen will show a smalll menu/boot menu. Press volume up to move arrow to fastboot mode and select it by pressing volume down button. You will enter fastboot mode now.
3. Connect phone to pc using data cable. Come back to command prompt. Type this command.
PHP:

now type another command
PHP:

Hello folks. Answering the questions above there is no custom rom for lyf water 7s. lyf water 7s don't has any sort of development on xda. I would advice not to mess around more then rooting because if you phone got hard brick (when it's stuck on logo) it won't be possible for you to flash it as sp flash tool will not recognize your device. Just get a new device.

true, but it is possible to port a rom for it, just that the procedure is difficult, since not many people use this device there is no development on this i guess..
i tried to port a rom... but i failed, i guess i did not unlock the BL... no idea.. it didn't go well..
Hello XDA-Team and all others who read this.
I got an Nokia 3 from Friend who killed Device trying to Flash TWRP and Root Phone ...
The Phone can only be "Powered On" by pressing Vol Up & Power for a few seconds. After this the phone will only vibrate after each 10 seconds - i think its trying to boot but fails and then try again ... until battery will powered down and needs recharge (with no displaying charging status)
Under Windows - Device Manager - the conected phone will change in each loop cycle between the following stats :
1. PreLoader USB VCOM Port (COM3) - 2. MTK USB Port (COM4) - 3. MTK USB Port (COM4) - and then vibrate and start again
... so i think the PreLoader is bricked - first because i've read that these PreLoader will loaded first after PowerOn - like a BIOS on any Mainboard
I've tryed any solution i found on the web - mostly on xda - incl. OST LA Tool, SP Flash Tool and others ... so i've noticed some "error messages" from SP Flash Tool and also that an trying to Flash with SP Flash Tool stops the boot-vibrate-loop
Is there any solution to manually Reflash original Firmware or repair the PreLoader ???
I know older Nokia Phones can be "Reflashed" by using an self builded USB-OTG "Y-Cable" with the following configuration: Side A : USB-A plug to connect to usb power plug (or computer) - Side B: micro-USB Plug to connect phone - Side C: USB-A female to connect USB-Stick with the needed Firmware Image File (on older nokia phones it will be an NB0-File i know) ... i also know you must first put the USB-Stick with File via the cable to the OFF-POWERED Phone and then put the USB-A plug into Power and wait until the "Update Procedure" will be finished - most under 30 minutes
So, if the will be an idea or solution to fix this "Error" PLZ HELP

Do not erase the preloader, it's very important or you will kill the phone.

i extracted preloader.bin from 7.1.1 december security patch, is it there a way to somehow flash it?
Hi there, I don't have much time to explain in details now, but Ive been able to unbrick my Nokia 3 from this state by using SF flashtool with emergency mode and a rom version that I found around. It gave it life back.
After that I've been able to boot into fastboot mode and I flashed the boot.img and system.img (and not sure for the cache.img) using the fastboot commands. These IMG files were taken from a full rom update.zip (android 7.0 that I found around). I t removed root and if I well remember, the bootloader was relocked (not quite sure). After that, I could get the OTA updates (even Oreo beta).
I'll try to give more details (links to the correct ROMs, exact commands) later if you still struggle.
Hope this help anyway!
Cheers
Seem problem here, keeps vibration every now and then. But nothing shows up even ost la doen't recognise phone anymore.
Todrak, if you do have more details. I guess where all happy to hear it..
Loaded scatter file. Opened SP Flash Tools. Clicked download. Entered meta mode by pressing vol up + vol down + power on at the same time. Tried auth file, but it doesn't work.
So we stucked until we get proper auth file.
Guys, I UNBRICKED MY DEVICE! First you need to unpack stock nb0 rom with nb0 unpacker:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/nb0-unpacker-packer-tool-t3699464
tnx to @heineken78
then you'll got all files that you need to flash with SP Flash Tool including scatter file. Load scatter file on SP Flash Tools and choose all partitions to flash (don't change, rename or move files from unpacked Stock ROM folder because SP Flash Tool will not recognize files).
then do this:

You don't need auth file. It requests auth file when you press all 3 buttons but if you enter meta mode propely, it will not ask for auth file.
You will have 3 options for flashing: Format All + Download, Firmware Upgrade and Download. Choose Download option.
Here you need to be fast.
Connect phone to computer. Click Download on SP Flash Tool. Disconnect USB cable. Enter META mode by pressing power on + volume up and quickly connect USB to PC at the same time.

tnx to autor of this video.
Then it should start flashing process with red bar first (shortly) then with purple bar (shortly) and then with yellow bar. Wait for it to flash. Green circle/tick mark will appear if it's flashed successfully. It failed on 60 % for me but most importantly it flashed preloader.
Now reflash ROM with OST if you failed in half of process like me and you're good to go.
If it fails, try again. It didn't worked for me at first try.

Hi, i dont know how, but guide from SkaboXD works... I unbrick my vibrate device and phone start works. Bud i had problem with bootloader and unlock him with fastboot... (when i confirm yes i´ll open the bootloader it was error 0x7000 or something like that. So, i started try another roms and flash. In some rom after failed download and format flash with SP Tool is brick to harder... When i connected now phone into computer isnt vibrate only it show in device manager (Mediatek Preloader USB VCOM port (COM6)) and now if i try to flash (only download) with SP TOOL it show error 5000 (auth file) or error 2005. While i write this. I dont think so, that its possible to unbrick my device but if somebody buy this phone to the root isnt right choise... Its problem phone... If somebody have some suggestion how can fix this i would like...
dont flash any nokia 3 mobile with sp flash tool it totally brick your phone. please give it to a phone shop if you want to change the version or any other problem. i bricked my phone with sp flash tool. it is harder to save my phone. now i gave it to a shop for repair i don't know they can fix problem or not.....
Hi everyone, I tried to flash a patched Magisk boot image on my Ulefone Armor 8 Pro via fastboot but the device is now stuck in bootloop. I have already read some threads about trying to flash the stock firmware using the proprietary SP Flash Tool, but the phone doesn't remain in download mode for more than a few seconds. I can't even boot in recovery/fastboot mode again to try to flash the stock boot image since the phone just keeps rebooting. If someone could give me a hint it would be really appreciated.

You need write the model of device.
Currently I know of 3 models: 4GB RAM(Armor 8); 6&8GB RAM(Armor 8 Pro).
So with the correct stock ROM you can flash the device.
To use SPFT you need to specify which OS you have: Linux; Win7_8_10; other
This is to know if you actually installed the USB MTK drivers correctly and if further action is needed.
Also, write if you have the device with the bootloader locked or unlocked.
I have the 6GB RAM and have downloaded a time ago the GQ3090RH3_KSX70H_Ulefone_20210902_V01(Non-EU).zip file aka stock ROM. That's aka Non_EEA model. In the Ulefone site have SP_MDT_exe_v3.2048.02.00(Client).zip aka flash tool.
You used that tool?
Thanks for the reply. I have the model with 6GB of RAM as well and I am currently trying to recover my phone by using Windows 11 in a virtual machine. The bootloader is unlocked and I tried to flash the EU version of the stock ROM (GQ3090RH3_KSX70H_Ulefone_EEA_20210902_V01(EU).zip) by using SP_MDT_exe_v3.2048.02.00(Client).zip (after installing the required drivers), but as I have already specified I can't boot in download mode for more than a few seconds. My computer recognises the device as "MediaTek MT65xx Preloader" but the phone immediately reboots and I am not able to flash the stock ROM.

Win11 is not good to use SP tool.
Maybe using Win10?!
"MediaTek MT65xx Preloader" is normal but need installing drivers correctly. You can try this: Driver_Auto_Installer_EXE_v5.1632.00.zip - 8.8MB
Reboot VM and try with the device turned off!
For using SPFT or SP_MDT your device not need in the bootloader mode. Device turned off - conect USB - look about USB PORT COM - Scan - Start All
If you not know how to do so Read Upgrade software guide for factory assembly line.pdf
Here file and more about: Upgrade tools and USB driver - Armor 8 Pro
___________________________
UP: Maybe SP need more than you know.
I used the SPFT and worked good to me with Win10.
May be SPFT can help more than SP: SP_Flash_Tool_v5.2124_Win
For using SPFT your device not need in the bootloader mode. Device turned off - open sxcatter file - look for Download Only option (NOT use FORMAT+....!!!!) - now with the device turned off conect USB - press DOWNLOAD (Ctrl + D).
Well, you saved my phone. Thanks for the help, I really appreciate that. I installed Windows 10 and the drivers you linked me and via SP Flash Tool I managed to flash the stock ROM after connecting the device with a USB cable. Thanks again.
How do I get this phone into download mode? Cannot seem to get it to flash
I've followed your tips but I cannot get the phone recognized by the flash tool.
I've collected full details here: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/248035/bootloop-in-ulefone-armor-8-pro
Can SPFT be used with Linux?
