From here you can updating your rom to jelly bean using this tutorial Link

Guys, anyone encountering "Cookie (if present) not received" error after clicking on Download button?
My Karbonn A9+ as successfully updated to jelly bean, which was working flawlessly for 3 days. But suddenly it died while my charging my phone.. The phone could not be turned on, no fastloader or entry download mode.... However when connected to PC it was being detected as Qualcomm HS-USB QD Loader 9008. I tried this tutorial but am facing cookie not received error.
Since my phone died suddenly, not during any update firmware process... I suspect this could be case of Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS) which means my eMMC flash (internal storage) got corrupted and is not being able to recoginized by QPST tool.
Has anyone faced this problem?

Tried it on Win XP... same cookie(if present) not received error showing..

can we use vmplayer for the win xp or other virtual soever instead? i use win 8 64 bit that's why it won't able me to download and shows me the message that the cookie (if present) is not received. :angel::angel::angel:

Some from a chinese forum was able to fix the cookie problem through QFPROM Fuse..

Yes the person in one post first said the problem is due to PC and driver combination. However, in later post has also said:
"i am still stuck in download mode. i was able to programm the bootloader, as i mentioned before by using QFPROM Fuse, everything else leads to errors. only one little detail changed -> when i press the power button it vibrates shortly.when i try to porgram the mmc device i always get no response from the phone."
Some of the points to ponder are:
1. He said he was able to program bootloader using qfprom fuse.
(How did he program bootloader through qfprom fuse, what does this mean?)
2. When power button pressed, there is vibration...
(On my device there is no response when pressed on power on.)
3. However he later said when he tries to program mm, he gets no response.
(He has not said he gets cookie error, just not response... could be anything)

one of the moderator of cherry flare group at facebook was able to revive phone from cookie error.

i just found out that you can restore your phone too by using roadkill, if you had written the backup of the image of your phone lately. :angel:

yes, if you could access entry qpst download mode (vol down + power)... however if you are hard bricked... you would not be able to access that plus your phone would not turn on in any manner.

in my case, my phone didn't turn on no matter what i do. but if i connect my phone to the pc, it shows the qualcomm hs-usb something that can be read by roadkill.

[Recovery][TWRP 2.8.2.0] Life Wireless X325 Model "Wind II"

Warning: this device
(Build: LW_X325_APR_2017_V2748_01_FINAL
Build fingerprint: 'alps/Z22/Z22:4.4.2/KOT49H/1492164051:user/test-keys')

OR
http://www.mediafire.com/file/a2eqra3fpzxpy88/recovery.img
Pre-setup:
You will need:
Universal ADB drivers
MTK Droid Root & Tools
SP Flash Tool
MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM: I used this method from Hovatek which works on Windows 7 x64 but I can't vouch for other OS/architectures
Setup Instructions:
1. Install the Universal ADB drivers.
2. With your phone turned on, connect your phone via USB. USB debugging must be enabled and the phone must be connected as Camera (PTP) for any tools to access it.
3. Use MTK Droid Root & Tools to generate a scatter file.
4. Disconnect the USB cable. Turn your phone off and remove the battery. Reconnect the USB cable, keeping the phone turned off.
5. Open SP Flash Tool. Optional but highly recommended: use the Readback tab to backup your current ROM. Root is NOT required for readback backup. Load the scatter file generated in step 3. The download agent should be MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin by default, select it if it isn't.
6. Browse and select the recovery.img if it isn't already. Make sure that ONLY the checkbox to the left of RECOVERY is checked! The dropdown menu should be set to "Download Only", select it if it isn't. Click Download and wait for a green check mark to appear. Now it's safe to disconnect the USB, put the battery back in, start the phone, and reconnect the USB.
7. The fastest way to get to recovery is to boot normally, then open adb and type and enter adb reboot recovery to reboot directly into recovery. Holding volume up + power from the off state works too. Volume down + power enters factory test mode which isn't very interesting.
Notes:
The bootloader is unlocked. It appears that there's no easy way for a non-root user to tell that though, fastboot oem commands will silently hang indefinitely, fastboot getvar all only returns partition names and sizes, stock recovery doesn't show lock status...
All images must be flashed. fastboot boot will silently hang on 'booting...' indefinitely.
fastboot flash can be used to flash boot.img but not recovery.img, some sort of permissions issue
End:
Let me know if I forgot something.

This post appears to be intended to refer to SMT TELECOMM HK LIMITED X325 devices that use Life Wireless (mobile virtual operator) branding (There is also a Social Mobile Telecommunications branded version of X325).
The title refers to the device as "BPX325", but BPX325 is the model code of the battery, not the device.
Thanks for the recovery. It would also be good to state what version of TWRP the recovery is based on.

Oops, fixed. This uses TWRP 2.8.2.0. I only know for sure that it works on my device, maybe this will help determine compatibility?

I'm not sure. I'm no Android developer, I learned all this the hard (trial and error) way after finding adups.fota in the system partition and not trusting rooting apps to do the job for me.

How to repair hard bricked LG Bello 2 (LGX150)

In this thread I'll discuss how to unbrick hard bricked LGX150. After accidentally deleting key system app on my phone, I was left with dead device. Let this thread be a guide how to hopefully revive it; from installing fresh firmware to writing its IMEI to be able to connect to your mobile provider. ​
***Note that I'm am not responsible for any possible further damage you do to your phone! This method has worked on my phone. That's the only device I'm certain it works on. Furthermore, this firmware is only for LG Bello 2 (LGX150), so in no way try to use it on any device other than one mentioned!***​
Tools you are going to need are linked at the bottom.
Before we even start, you'll need to disable driver signature enforcement. Note that I'm using Windows 10. To do that, follow this simple guide. I'll be waiting...
Disabled? Great. Now, we are going to install MediaTek drivers. Open Device Manager and select to add legacy hardware in the action drop menu. We want to install it manually, so choose that option.
After clicking on next and "have disc", find the extracted driver folder location you've previously downloaded and choose:
MTK_Driver_ext>SP_Drivers_v1.6>cdc-acm.inf.
Select MediaTek DA USB VCOM. The prompt box will open where you'll click on "install anyway". Now, plug your phone in and right click on it in Device Manager. Choose "Update driver" and in the following list install driver MediaTek DA USB VCOM under MediaTek. That's it. You we have successfully installed the driver. Your phone should be listed in ports as "MediaTek DA USB VCOM (Port X)".
Awesome. Now for the more interesting part.
Download "SP tool.7z" and "LGX150-00-PIN-EUR-XXX-JUL-15-2015+0.user_3.zip", and extract them.
Run SP tool as an administrator, and in the download tab choose "MT6582_Android_scatter.txt" as an Scatter-loading file. If everything is okay, loaded files should now fill previously empty box. Okay, great! The moment of truth has come.
Press download button and reinsert your phone. Don't touch any button, either on the phone or computer. The bar at bottom should now change in color and flashing procedure should take place. Leave the room and return momentarily. Pray if religious.
Everything went smooth? The big green "okay" window has shown? If no, try different version of SP tools. If yes, remove the cable from phone, and battery as well. Wait for 15 seconds and reinsert it. Try to power the phone on.
Congratulations. For the next part, we'll rewrite its IMEI since it has been deleted, but more on that in a few days. You may want to check the post on how to root it here.
Credits go to the member on panduoduo.net named Ari*****e123, but I'm not sure whether the stars are because it's hidden or it is for real. Anyways, this is the link of the member. I can't thank her/him enough because this is the only firmware that actually worked, and we know how scarce options are for LGX150. If someone could show me how to donate to her/him, if possible, I'll gladly do so. Thank you, Ari*****e123.
Also, MediaTek developers for developing many, many great tools absolutely free of charge.

Firmware

Works perfectly, thanks. Could not find lg x150 firmware except here. Had to use similar firmware of x155 or x160.
Only found billions of links where people try to sell it for few bucks and offering file that requires password, but nowhere for free. Even that chinese you mentioned disappeared together with website. I am lucky to have found this thread.
The cause of my broken lg x150 was option in lucky patcher to remove all odex files, which broken all system apps, because they are special apps which unlike other apps do not have apk file with dex inside.
Just few observations:
- have to use spflashtool v5.1828 (5.1532 and 5.2036 do not work with this firmware)
- can root with kingoroot
- can replace root with supersu as in this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/replace-kingoroot-supersu-manually-t3573361
- xposed framework works. just beware installing xposed after having some apps dex files linked via apps2sd will cause such apps to break, in that case just relink dex
- apps2sd works (except making ext4 primary 2nd partition on sd card, also enable su during boot and compatible namespace separation in supersu options, and enable addition of boot scripts before and after mount in apps2sd options and add this before:
Code:
su
setenforce 0
the new line after line setenforce 0 is vital for it to work properly, have to press enter key (new line) so that cursor is in new line, can check after reboot in terminal type getenforce and if it says permissive means that worked)
- can change imei via mtk engineering mode either via some apps or via code *#*#4636#*#* - cds information - radio information
- can't use uny custom recovery, boot, root, kitchen
- there are many guides for this in hovatek forum and in androidmtk website
- spflashtool 5.1532 is last version to work with nonencrypted flash files, so anybody may use that for readback (backup) of partitions and restore, for example I backed up rooted partitions, so no need to reroot or connect to internet for that ever again, no need to redo kingoroot rooting, just beware in start address you enter linear start address and partition size, not physical start address from scatter file! if system partition after readback can open via 7-zip means it is ok
- damaging imei, mac, calibration may require additional tools, but this can only happen if you format something via spflashtool or manually edit scatter file, so avoid that, see my problems: https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-21408.html
