HOMTOM 7 (updating firmare) - General Topics

Hi i have a Homtom 7 with version 2 mother board i contacted Homtom as i was having problems with it dumping contacts etc. they checked the motherboard etc and said i need to update the Firmware to 2.1.2 which they supplied me with and the program SP Flashtool to do it with and a video to try to explain it to me unfortunately it isn't happening all i get when i plug it in to flash is a few fast bleeps and then a single one later but nothing happens anyone any idea what is or isn't happening please?? i have the feeling the PC isn't recognizing it but that's just a wild guess ..
I tried again and got a warning saying "MT65xx Preloader was not successfully installed " no driver found
I followed a thread on here for installing the missing driver but still doesn't work.

[Q] GT-I9500 Clone MT6572(MT6589 is fake) flashing isue

Hello!
So I am newbie in here, and I have huge problem.
I have bought Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500 Clone with MT6572 CPU, as for many people, MT6589 is fake, 2GB RAM is fake, you got only 256MB.
Ok, lets get started, sudenly it stopped working, but PC still recognize it trought VCOM drivers, so I tried to flash it trought SP Flash tool, at start it showed BROM EROOR, bla, bla, bla (4032) its comon error, so I fixed it, and was able to format system, before formating, I needed to put in battery, and only then PC recognized phone, after flashing, it recognizes without baterry. So I started to flash new ROM, and appeared error, that there is not enought space, I reconected phone, one more time same error, and in next time old BROM error was back, and I can't fix it this time.
As my phone switched off sudenly, I was not able to see HW info in MTK Droid Tools, cause I can't install ADB Drivers without USB debugging and switching phone on, and tis makes everything complicated.
So my question is, am I trying to flash wrong ROM or is it fault in drivers or what?
I will be happy for every helpful information. And thanks.
And sorry for my english

[Completed] [Q] [HELP] Lenovo A606 bricked, now I am stuck

Hello,
I have a new Lenovo A606, that came with a strange ROM (IMEI not recognized, some weird WIFI setup) from 2014. I was able to set it up and correct the problems (thanks to google), but I still had some language issues (the Lenovo Apps including dialer, contacts, sms, etc… were English only). I was able to root it fine, and no working problem.
I decided to install a clean stock ROM, ROW: the A606_USR_S036_1502271022_V3_MP_ROW that is more recent and fully supports multilanguage.
I took a PC with Windows XP, and installed the latest SP Flash Tool, following a tutorial.
I was able to install android adb drivers and the MTK driver from the ROM image. The phone was showing in the devices, then was disappearing, then showing again… I had an error, but then I tried again with the option to update the firmware, and the Flash Tool reached the end and said it flashed succesfully.
Problem: after that, the phone was totally bricked. It would not start at all. When I plug it on the PC, it shows sporadically a device called "VENDOR 0E8D - communication" that disappears very quickly. I cannot flash it again. I just lost my brand new phone…
I tried with SP Flash Tool, and Flash SPMDT, with different ROMs, CN only, ROW, different versions… But nothing. It always says that Flash failed. Even when the phone is not plugged, I have an error with Flash SPMDT, with all ROMs, saying that (1)COM ports number is repetitive or invalid, or (2) Brom and preloader have the same comport number! and it asks me to modify them in INI file or scan again. Of course, scan fails, when I plug the phone pressing vol up + vol down (only way to make the phone recognized by the computer without a battery), the progress goes to 100% then either stays stuck there, or says it failed. SP Flash Tools gives this error: 'BROM ERROR s_ft_enable_dram_fail (4032)'
I tried several drivers, to clean drivers with usbdview, I tried several versions of SP Flash Tools… I don't know what to do anymore. I hope that Lenovo has a warranty and that they could flash it back to normal.
I don't know if it is a problem accessing the META mode on the phone, or bad roms… I tried on one computer with XP, and another with Windows 8.1, and the problem is the same.
ANY HELP would be appreciated, thank you!
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. It sounds like you've tried everything possible. Since it sporadically shows up on your pc try a different USB cable. If that doesn't work then I think it is bricked and you'll have to check with whomever you purchased the device from to see if they can fix it.

Bricked...

I wanted to put a new rom on my Lenovo, so I started here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-a850/general/tutorial-install-cwm-twrp-lenovo-a850-t2642431
I thought making a backup would be wise.
My Baseband model did not have ROW or CN in it, so after trying all four options EN/CN CWM/TWRP options, all failed an my phone would just reboot.
May be my mistake was trying a few more versions of CWM/TWRP, after one of which my Baseband model was gone...
So I decided to just go ahead and install a new rom without a backup. I installed the VCOM drivers (Win 8.1, a bit of hassle) and downloaded: http://www.needrom.com/download/a850-stock-s123-multilanguagegappsroot/
Тhе flashing process went OK (I got the green circle), but after disconnecting my phone and putting the battery back in, it would not start at all. Not even recovery mode.
I tried flashing another rom, but the PC/flash tool would not detect the phone again.
Тhe only sign of life is the red led when I connect the USB to the PC (without battery).
Any help would be appreciated.
P.S.: Also the phone stopped detecting my SIM cards while trying different CWM/TWRP versions.
P.P.S.: I actually was able to get a response from the flash tool by holding power, volume + and volume -, and got: ERROR 4032 : Enable DRAM failed!

After trying many different SP Flash Tool versions and ROM, I was actually able to resurrect my Lenovo by doing a Firmware Upgrade with the latest SP Flash Tool (version 5 something) and using a A850i ROM from needrom.com
No issues so far, but I'm basically back where I started from
i think u have flashed a850 4gb version firmware. same thing happen to my phone. but fixed it with a850i firmware.

Semi Bricked Mate 8 :(

Hello hope someone can help please have been trawling forums for a week now without getting anywhere.
I was running nxt-l29c636???? tried to upgrade via app firmware finder, first two I picked just failed then I picked older one thinking I might need to go from android 6 to 7 then to 8
Now it's stuck in a loop.
The firmware I picked looked like it was installing but failed early on 1 or 2 %
I can get to erecovery - does nothing and I've tried copying update.app to SD card and holding three button method but it does nothing.
When I fastboot it and rescue mode my phone status is locked.
Anyone know how I can recover please?
Ideally just want to flash it and if so it'd be great if it was android 8
Thanks for looking
So I fixed this by using the excellent DC-Phoenix, my problem was drivers
So for any noobs out there, got this work. My problem was the phone would never go into upgrade mode. The problem was in device manager (windows 7x64 but doesn't matter which version of windows), was when DC-Phoenix tried to put the phone in upgrade mode the command was sent and acted on but device manager showed warning triangles that it didn't have a driver or the driver was only partially loaded.
When I directed it to the downloaded Hi-Suite (which has all the drivers) it loaded the driver(s) there are TWO drivers on virtual COM ports. So if you phone is not going into upgrade mode best to check that Windows can actually see these TWO COM ports.
