[Completed] Hard Bricked in a peculiar manner - XDA Assist

Hi xda,
So I had a soft bricked Micromax Canvas a290 which boot looped and couldnt access recovery. I flashed it with a stock ROM. Now the phone is hard bricked, and I'm thinking probably because the rom I downloaded had issues. I looked up another stock rom from xdafirmware, and am trying to follow a tutorial on youtube on flashing a hard bricked device.
The issue I have here is this:
The tutorial says the phone is supposed to connect and disconnect every 7-8 seconds (evident by the sound windows makes when usb device is connected and disconnected).
The thing is, when I connect my device windows makes the connected sound, but the device doesnt disonnect. SP flash tool cant flash my phone. I have tried any and every button combination, but they dont seem to help.
I am an tech enthusiast myself, and I have flashed a lot of mtk soft bricked devices before, but I am totally stumped here.
Can anyone help?? Any ideas whats happening? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Greetings and welcome to assist. I can find very little information for your device apart from this thread which may help, can you connect to the device just using fastboot ?

[Q] Feiteng H7100 bricked MT6577 unbrick?

Hi, I have a big problem with my new Phone Feiteng H7100! After I flashed the ROM (from needrom), nothing happens on the phone! Everything went as described until the green circle. Nothing now … when connected to the PC appears a USB / network device name: Alcatel Single RNDIS interface, nothing more happens.
Can someone help me here? Please

Hello everyone,
can anyone help me here really? I've also, quite diligently search through the forums for possible solutions, but I have not found anything. Please, please help me with my phone ... where I still have birthday ... your help I would be today's greatest gift!
Did you tried to reflash with another ROM?
Maybe this will help you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2186116
Please post your experience.
hi, can anyone help me, i have a feiteng h7100, totally bricked, not turn it on, the computer dont recognize, is a dead phone, i flash it with sp flashtool first time says ok, but no turn it on, so i flash it again, in the middle of flashing says error and the cpu dont recognize any more my phone, any ideas..
never flash DSP_BL and preloader. as long as the device is recognized on your PC, its not "dead" othewise you can try the "testpoint" methode, but not all motherboards have one.

[Q] Bricked Kross GY-601 Chinese Tablet

Hi, I have a Kross GY-601 Tablet... One of the cheap chinese tablet you can pickup at factorydirect (Canada)
I seem to have bricked it when attempting to port Clockwork Mod Recovery to it. It does not show anything on screen or do anything, When I connect it to my computer.. It shows up as M6-CHIP in Device Manager as shown in my image.
The internal storage is completly gone as a result of my failed attempt to un-brick it..
It would be a great help if someone helped me fix this..
Thanks in advance..
-Henrique
PS: I'm only 13 sorry if my description of the problem is a bit bad..
Sooo,
You probably don't have proper drivers, use PDANet ones, they work even with obscure tablets.
You tried to port CWM or flash?
It's not bricked since your computer detects it
Last thing, do you have a backup recovery image or another recovery image that works so you can get it back up?
Daniel
I was dumb enough not to do any recovery image backups..
Also.. I ported cwm then flashed it with dd just poped the .img into the recovery block.. but since I didn't compile it properly when I adb reboot recovery.. It got into a boot loop.. so I tried to fix it but broke it even more... So then I tried re-writing the firmware for generic 4.1.2 chinese tablet.. but that messed it up to the point were it only shows as M6-CHIP.. i can only turn on and off.. nothing else.. no boot no screen light up nothing..
I can help you BUT....

[Q] Celkon A119Q - Hard Bricked my Daughter's Phone :( Help

Dear Sirs,
My daughter is using a Celkon A119Q HD (Stock Rom is available needrom ). The device uses a MTK6589.
Recently, my friend flashed the wrong preloader on my phone and hard bricked it. Currently it doesn turn on, no display nothing. Me being an idiot did not take a backup using MTK droid tools and I dont have CWM recovery on my phone. So I decided to flash my phone with the stock rom.
I have installed all the necessary drivers and When I connect my phone to SP Flash tools, it is able to identify it. It says "Mediatek DA USB VCOM (Android) (COM5)". However I am unabe to flash it at all. I have tried format, format without boot loader, firmware->upgrade, format all + download, download only and even ran a memory test.
Absolutely nothing seems to work. I have attached the various screenshots of the error messages I get.
I would deeply be in your dept if you could kindly help me and guide me as to what I should do next Sir, since my daughter has been giving me hell over her phone.
:crying:
Thank you very much for the help. I sincerely appreciate it.
Can't figure out, What you mean by a 'Preloader' but looks like you've bumped...

did you try to restock it.. installing a stock rom is the last option if available.. if the phone is not even turning on, check battery.. make sure your battery is charged..
and at last.. you could just try taking it to the service center if it's in warrenty.. but make sure it doesn't turn on.. don't tell them you were flashing.. they will never know.. hope it help in any way..

[Completed] Help on restoring a bricked tablet!

Hi guys, i am new to this forum and would like some help on restoring a bricked (don't know how bad) android tablet. It first got jammed on the start screen logo because of an app that i uninstalled the wrong way. I then tried to reboot it and that is where the problem started, so I decided to try flash a nexus or TWRP or a CWM image with amd with no avail but my phone was detected. CMD kept on displaying that the size of the images were too large, but the RAMDISK.img flashed. After this I also tried sideloading the nexus 5 image, since that's all I could find in the bootloader that actually worked. Unfortunately, as soon as i copied it showed 'aborted' therefore I rebooted it and the cycle began
The battery then drained and now I can't access recovery mode or fast boot (only the menu) which eventually goes off after a few seconds, and when I plug it in, it shows the critical battery sign then tries to boot, but doesn't charge and does this repeatedly. It doesn't display the boot image at all.
It is an Alps LC 007 Tab with some MTK kernel and a custom recovery and bootloader. Is there any hope of reviving my tablet? Please help????????

Seriously? I came to this forum with a mild situation and now I've completely bricked my mt65xx device doing things I didn't know how to do. It's been 3 days!
DAY 1
I try use adb to undo soft brick but the battery dies and I can't access the bootloader or fastboot or recovery but just the boot menu.
DAY 2
I try use the SPF tool with not much knowledge from the YouTube videos I watched and I end up formatting my device with only a backup of the system.img (which isn't even an image).
DAY 3
The device is completely unresponsive after trying over and over with a little bit more knowledge from research.
Now I'm wondering what would've happened if I got a response at least to catch my attention and stop me from doing things without knowledge of what I'm doing. I'm not forcing People to help but at least reply so that I stop. 108 views and no reply. Sorry if I sound a bit too grumpy but I am not happy. .......

Lenovo S856 China Unbricking tutorial

Problem: You have purchased a China Lenovo S856 smartphone and tried to flash ROW ('Rest of World') firmware to it for whatever reason. You now have a softbricked phone that won't boot past the Lenovo screen.
Solution: Download the following files, which are a little tutorial with pictures, as well as the correct China firmware for your s856 and the Flashing tool to use....https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6knvSQRiKPzQTMtaXFXZEFNbHc https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6knvSQRiKPzRTk4ZTB3c1VDdzA https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6knvSQRiKPzWVA2UENuY1NYTkk
All the solutions I have seen so far were sketchy at best and very difficult to comprehend, let alone use to unbrick your phone. This is what worked for me, and my attempt to help anyone else with the above problem.
That is all, and good day to you.
Thanks for your help, but my problem looks very difficult now, because the system cannot recognize the phone and the phone refuse to boot on. What do you advice?

Hello...
My system did not recognize my phone, either. Nor would it boot up... it was bricked. This tutorial is for people who are exactly in your situation. I would suggest downloading the files I have uploaded, and reading the tutorial.

Finally got the process started,...but after 7s I got and error message Reached the end of the file.(0x80070026: Receiving hello packet)
Could it be my PC (win 10 32 bit) problem or what do you think?
This happened to me as well, the first and second time I tried the flash. There is a trick which worked for me... I pulled the battery out and put it back in and while holding the volume 'up' button, I plugged my phone into my computer usb port and let windows install the driver. It took a few seconds and then I clicked 'refresh' on the Miflash window, which I had left on. At this point the 'flash' button became available and I clicked on it. This time the flash was successful. Try it.
