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.

Hi,
Okay, I hope this method can help you, so you don’t have to go through the tedious process I went through to fix this fpr lock problem, I personally tried a lot of methods described in forums and finally was able to fix this problem, so I hope this works for you too and you don’t have to spend a lot of time looking for a solution to this problem.
I used this method on my galaxy a5 2016, but I think it will work on other Samsung phones as well if you download the right stock rom for it.
Warning: if you are a newbie, please read through this entire post once before attempting to try it out. It’ll only take a few minutes but at least you’ll know what you’re doing.
since i'm a new user i'm not allowed to post outside links so i'll put spaces between my links to be able to post them.
So I had the same problem as a lot of other guys, I had rooted my Galaxy A5 Sm-a510-fd through CF-Auto-Root, Everything was working fine, But Since I didn't know about OEM Unlocking & FRP Lock (Factory Reset Protection), I Logged Into my google account in my phone, and after restarting my phone after installing an app, my phone showed a red small text at the top left corner of my screen saying "custom binary blocked by fpr lock", now keep in mind I had enabled usb debugging and oem unlocking before but since I logged into my google account, apparently google had disabled the oem unlocking, hence this message.
Now I tried a few methods like a method where someone had said to go into download mode (Hold Volume down + Home + Power) and then pressing the volume down (cancel) instead of volume up (continue) and after the restart the phone for some reason wouldn't show this message again (weird), some had tried this in that forum with success but it didn’t work for me, so first try this see if it works for you, then I tried to flash a new stock rom but I got the same frp lock message in download mode as well, then I tried a few other method which didn’t work and I don’t even remember them (I’m a newbee, and I was confused by all the articles I had read and all the method I had tried so I don’t remember a lot of them, and a few of them may have worked but needed to remove the battery but in galaxy a5 battery isn’t removable), but the method which finally worked for me was this (It was posted in gsmhosting . com by zishhaider user):
1. Download (A510FXXU1AOL1 02.12.2015) from samsung-updates . com/device/?id=SM-A510F or from sammobile . com/firmwares website.
2. Remove .md5 at the end of stock rom you downloaded, extract the .tar file with 7zip to a folder, delete cm.bin and sboot.bin from this folder, open 7zip file manager from you installed program list in windows, navigate to the folder, choose all remaining files, click add, choose tar as archive format and and click ok to compress the files again into a tar format (a better method to re-pack these files into a tar ball is by using a software called unified android toolkit described at the end of this post).
3. Download and install the latest kies from Samsung (it will automatically install the latest usb drivers for your phone) and I recommend restarting your computer after installing kies.
4. Now go to download mode (Volume down + Home + Power >> Volume Up) , Download odin 3.10.7 or newer if available at the time of reading this post, right click on odin and run as administrator, now connect your phone to your computer with the usb cable preferably coming with your own phone, now if you have installed the drivers (from kies software) and if the cable is working and usb debugging is enabled, odin should detect your phone and show <ID:0/003> added in the message section (the number 3 isn't important, it depends on which usb port you use), now check the options tab to make sure only Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked (by default these 2 are always checked, make sure Re-partition is unchecked). I recommend waiting a minute or two to make sure your phone and odin have recognized each other fully and usb drivers are fully installed.
5. Click on AP and browse to the location where you compressed the rom files and choose it, now to begin flashing this stock rom, just hit start.
6. When ODIN is done, you should see a box that will say reset or passed (depending on which version you have, you may see either or both.). At this point it is ok to remove your device.
ODIN has completed the flash, and by now, the device should be going through the reboot screen, if it works for you as it did for me you won't get the frp lock message again.
Any problems, try these few things: Update Drivers, and restart your PC; Different cables; Different USB ports.
Just a tip: If you are in download mode and you want to restart or turn off your phone for any reason and you have an unremovable battery like me, in download mode hold Volume down + Power for 10 to 20 seconds to restart your phone, now if you want to turn it off completely, after the restart hold Volume up + Home + Power to go to recovery and from there choose turn off.
-------------------------
After this process your phone should boot and the red little text saying “custom binary is locked by frp lock” should disappear. But since you flashed your phone after you removed cm.bin and sboot.bin your phone will be slow and you will aslo, still have to bypass the frp lock from google inside your phone, to do that I will give you a link to youtube from rootjunkey which explains it best how to bypass this frp lock inside the phone, or if you have the user and password of the google account you had previously logged in with to you phone, you can enter those and when asking to backup your previous apps choose "treat this phone as a new device" because you don’t want to install the apps just yet and you’ll have to flash your phone one more time with the complete stock (including cm.bin and sboot.bin). after entering your phone either by logging into your google account or bypassing the google acounot login screen, go to settings >> about >> software info and hit build number several times to enable developers options, then go to developers option and enable usb debugging and the damned oem unlock, and from now on before restarting or turning your phone off check to see the goddamned oem unlock box is on.

www . youtube . com/watch?v=DJ8_qbj1DPQ
Now after I did all these things I tried to flash the whole stock rom I had downloaded but I got the message “sw .rev binary check failed device 2 binary 1” and I think the reason I got this was beacase I had flashed many other recovery and roms before and I had screwed up my bootloader version and my phone didn’t recognize this rom as the right one for my phone, I downloaded a few more roms from my own country (Iran) and each time it either gave me this message or failed because it was stuck in flashing either hidden.img or sboot.bin or … . so what I did was a method I learned from someone in a forum (I don’t remember which forum), I’ll post a picture of that method and explain a little bit about the steps or modifications I made. And before using this method, download unified android toolkit, just google and download it, you’ll need it for this method.
link to the image:
s7.picofile . com/file/8250224492/Galaxy_S6_NAND_Write_Start_Fail_Fix.jpg
this software creates a folder in the root of your operating system drive (c Drive in my case) named Unified_Android_ToolKit, inside it you will find an input and an output folder, put the files you want to re-pack into tar files in the input folder, follow the instructions (99, 8, 1, 3) and your resulting files will be saved in output folder.
So the modifications I made to that method was:
The order I followed in flashing was as follows:
- AP: Boot/Recovery/System : these are the main system and recovery files and have the biggest size.
- CRC: Cashe/Hidden : This is some country code used for the region to flash the ROM against, XE is Europe, AU is Australia, and so on, this part can throw you off, its more then for tracking what region this is based of, in terms of localization and language support. And more importantly, for Kies to recognize the region and to determine if there's firmware update available. It is quite possible to have a CSC that can be limited to one country.
- CP: Modem
- BL: cm/sboot : Your bootloader
This is the order I followed and as you can see I chose all buttons and their corresponding files instead of choosing all of them with AP. Each one of these buttons re-writes the corresponding file into it’s previous partition in your phone.
Also I flashed boot.img first, restarted, flashed recovery.img, restarted, and so on, except for the cm.bin and sboot.bin which I repacked with unified android toolkit into one tar ball instead of 2 tar file, and flashed them together, to do this all you have to do is put these 2 together into the input folder and select 99, then 8, then 2, then yes.
finally I decided to try using Samsung smart switch (which I had tried but didn’t work before) to try to flash a stock rom once again to make sure everything is back to normal, but it still didn’t work and froze just like before, so I decided to use kies and it worked, even though smart switch is newer I believe kies is still better, so I recommend you use kies to update your firmware one more time using this Samsung tool, especially if the previous method still didn't fully work or if your baseband version or IMEI is unknown. To do that after enabling usb debugging, open kies, connect your phone to your computer, unlock your phone screen if it is locked and wait for kies to recognize your phone, if it said kies does not support your device or try smart switch just ignore it, it’s okay even if it doesn’t recognize your phone, just go to tools and choose firmware upgrade and initialization, now enter your model number (Upper-case), then serial number, both are on the box of your phone, sn is also behind your battery or at the back of your phone if your battery is unremovable, follow the instructions, at one point you’ll have to disconnect the cable, turn off your phone, go into download mode and conncet the cable again and then hit update to update the downloaded firmware. This time if everything goes right your phone may work even better and faster than before just like it did for me.
one last thing: I had screwd up my phone so badly that my baseband and IMEI was unknown and I couldn’t make any calls, and what’s worse I hadn’t backed up my efs folder, so I tried a few methods to solve this and finally decided to use kies, kies hadn’t worked before but this time it worked and restored everything to normal.
Now this time after i fixed my phone, I have backed up my efs folder, and my stock rom from clockworkmod recovery, and I have also set up a Microsoft/Samsung drive, google drive and dropbox account and installed some software to backup every contact, message, and app I have to the cloud in case sth like this happens again, I learned my lesson, I hope you do the same.
Developers, please correct any mistakes I may have made explaining this method, I am a newbie and these are what I learned in just 2 days of reading many forums and applying them to solve my own problem, so I may be wrong in some of these, so before people try this method out correct all the mistakes I may have made so people don’t brick their phones. Thank you
I hope this was helpful, thanks for reading, sign out.

Thanks, this helped my friend he is a n00b
This does not work with 6.0.1
Just for anybody who has that version, dont waste your time downloading 5.1.1, it wont work if you already in 6.0.1
Why should oem unlocking automatically turned off
This actually applies to all Samsung phones...
But, use the right firmware and flash it using Odin.
Side note:
To activate Developer options, tap Build number 7 times on About phone settings. Then, open Developer options and activate OEM Unlock.
You should ready to go flashing everything. Happy flashing!

Hi
thanks for answering
1) Yes, I installed the most up-to-date version of the samsung driver (SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_1.5.63.0)
2) Yes, I tried 5 different original cables
3) I tried with 6 different versions of Odin, on windows 7, 8.1 and 10.
so I researched google, the only alternative is to do a procedure called JTAG, but still had hope of being able to solve without having to open the device
If anyone has a suggestion, I'll appreciate it.
Thanks
Many thanks
Me and my A5 want to thank you a lot. You saved his life I don't have to use my Wiko View :silly: anymore
Not simple is write combination firmware to the phone, then enable usb debugging and then just write firmware that not erase user data and cache and use free sw or adb command(this work not depend on software in the phone) to unlock the phone.
Simple software is here and the manual.

Thank you so much dude! I've searched the internet for 2 days and then this post came by so I decided to read and do it because I had nothing to lose and hell yeah it worked! THANKS!
So here it is after weeks of trying to root my VFD 500 I've decided to port TWRP to make it possible.
I have ONLY tried this on my own Vodafone Smart Turbo 7, no guarantees of success if you use on a different device. I am NOT a developer and I work 60+ hours a week, therefore I will not be updating this or offering support if your device bricks.
TWRP VERSION: 3.0.2
This might break OTA, so keep an original recovery (provided below).
METHOD
1. Download TWRP_VFD_500.ZIP and extract (You should have recovery.img, SuperSU.zip and MT6735M_Android_scatter.txt and recovery-original.img) Copy the SuperSU.zip to your phones SD card, KEEP the recovery-original.img safe for future use..
2. Turn off phone and run SP Flash Tool (I used V5.1644).
3. On SP Flash Tool click choose for Scatter-Loading file and select the MT6735M_Android_scatter.txt that you received in step 1.
4. In the list of partitions make sure that ONLY recovery is selected and that it says Download Only in the drop down menu above the partition list.
5. On the recovery partition line, where it says location, click and browse to the recovery.img provided in step 1 and click open.
6. Press the big green downward arrow.
7. Connect phone to USB cable and plug into computer. The bottom of the SP Flash Tool window will go yellow / red as it flashes the phone. After a few seconds you will be presented with a green tick signifying the end of the process, your phone screen SHOULD have remained off during the entire flash.
8. Turn phone on by pressing the +vol button and power at the same time, your phone should go into TWRP recovery.
9. In TWRP click install, browse to where you copied SuperSU.zip and select it. Follow instructions on screen to install.
10. Once installed reboot to system.
Enjoy! This is a one off from me, it worked on my phone. If like me you wish to remove all the bloatware and Google Apps you don't need you'll be able to do this using Apps2SD: All In One Tool [ROOT]..... I won't be writing a tutorial for this.
Best of luck, Steve.
TWRP VFD 500.zip
SP Flash Tools
Hey This Seems cool what is the likely hood of this bricking/bootlooping your device?
I can confirm that this does work, i have just installed this on a brand new Vodafone Smart Turbo 7 (VFD 500).
Thanks a lot for your time and effort for porting this.
I installed TWRP on a Vodafone Smart Turbo 7 (VFD 500) and it works! Thanks...
Would this work on VFD 502?
Hi WildsideUK.
Trying to follow your procedure for my sister's tcl vfd 500, using the current version of SP Flash Tool, version 5.18, I stop at step 6 with some doubts.
In the SP Flash Tool, in that moment, I can not find any "big green downward arrow" buttons.
The only button with some "green" is the "Download" button which has a green arrow icon.
Using that nothing happens.
Furthermore, by connecting the phone the bottom part of the SP Flash Tool does not change any color.
I do not know if I do something wrong.
[Update]
[past some experiment and several attempts]
Following the instructions of SP Flash Tool I tried to do the same procedure by removing the battery from the phone.
In this way the procedure worked and the program finished the procedure until confirmed with the green tick.
Wonderful.
Thank you
Hello community

I already tried the method of
"Download Only" or Flash the
1. "preloader" first
then after that untick/deselect it
2. load/flash other stuff (lk,boot,recovery,logo,secro,system,cache,userdata)
3. ALSO TRIED. Not flashing the (cache & userdata)

12. Flashed the phone for (FIRST TIME)
*I used the "Download Only" Option
*After first time flashing. Still stock at logo.
*Waited for almost (10 Mins. Only)
****Before Second flashing. I know,
My Computer (device manager) still detects my phone normally as Portable Device.
That's the normal detection before I bricked my phone.
...Now
13. Flashed (SECOND TIME)
*I used the "Format ALL and Download" Option
*After 2nd time flashing. Now, it didn't boot.
*I decided to charge it. Now, stock at charging logo.
No indication that it is charging. Mere charging logo. Logo is not moving up nor down.
**Now my PC couldn't detect my device like before--
it has sound of reconnects and disconnect.
Sound and Device Manager indicator.
**It say's in Device Manager
Connected (MediaTek USB Port (COM6)
Reconnect (MediaTek Preloader USB VCOM (Android)(COM5)
14. Yet after that, I managed to Format the phone using SPFLASHTOOl Format Tab.
*After that
*NO BATTERY LOGO even I plugged the phone in charger
-waited for several mins. still no BAT. LOGO
*NO VIBRATION
*I CHARGED THE BATTERY using UNIV. Charger
*BOUGHT NEW BATTERY (SAME MODEL) (FULLY CHARGED)
*Paperweight?
*No logo
*No battery nor charging logo like before
*No vibration
*Yet, my last hope? (Hopeful)
My PC/DEVICE MANAGER detects it
**It say's in Device Manager

Reconnect (MediaTek Preloader USB VCOM (Android)(COM5)
NOTE:
*I used DESKTOP and LAPTOP both has Windows 10 32Bit OS.
*Installed all the required USB/PORT Driver
*New charging cable/data cable
*Tried different ports
*Tried different speed in SPFT (HiSpeed & FullSpeed)
*Tried flashing one-by-one
*Tried "Download Only" & "Format all+Download"
after "Almost no life at all"
====First I used MY OFFICIAL UPDATED ROM.
Next, the Outdated ROM. Last, CUSTOM ROM - No Luck.
-----BUT------
There's this youtube video
How to unbrick Any dead mtk phone 100% tested solution
I googled and saw a video on youtube that, advance option + Physical Format option could be
one of the essential *Last Resort to be able to SUCCESFULLY FLASH your CHINESE PHONE.
Sadly, I believe, in NEWER version of SPFT it's not possible when you load the MT6580 scatter file?
I also used old-oldest version of SPFT but it everytime i load the scatter file it says some error
*not legal blah blah blah? Please. Do you have any idea?
Is it possible in MTK6580?
I used old-oldest version of SPFT
version(s) 3.xxxx But, it won't allow to load my MT6580.
Any way to bypass it? Please..
PHOTO FOR REFERENCE. THANKS IN ADVANCE..
I GUESS.. MY LAST RESORT? IF YOU WATCHED THE EMBED VIDEO FROM YOUTUBE..
HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED..
METHOD I haven't tried..
FLASH USING Windows 7 OS.
QUESTION:
What is CYANOGEN OS?
Can I unbrick my phone using that OS? or by upgrading or downgrading it?
Is there any other tool to force my phone to take all the ROMS or format it?
Please Please.. Help me..
Thanks in advance and more power..

**Now my PC couldn't detect my device like before--
it has sound of reconnects and disconnect.
Sound and Device Manager indicator.
**It say's in Device Manager
Connected (MediaTek USB Port (COM6)
Reconnect (MediaTek Preloader USB VCOM (Android)(COM5)
14. Yet after that, I managed to Format the phone using SPFLASHTOOl Format Tab.
*After that
*NO BATTERY LOGO even I plugged the phone in charger
-waited for several mins. still no BAT. LOGO
*NO VIBRATION
*I CHARGED THE BATTERY using UNIV. Charger
*BOUGHT NEW BATTERY (SAME MODEL) (FULLY CHARGED)
*Paperweight?
*No logo
*No battery nor charging logo like before
*No vibration
*Yet, my last hope? (Hopeful)
My PC/DEVICE MANAGER detects it
**It say's in Device Manager
Connected (MediaTek USB Port (COM6)
Reconnect (MediaTek Preloader USB VCOM (Android)(COM5)
NOTE:
*I used DESKTOP and LAPTOP both has Windows 10 32Bit OS.
*Installed all the required USB/PORT Driver
*New charging cable/data cable
*Tried different ports
*Tried different speed in SPFT (HiSpeed & FullSpeed)
*Tried flashing one-by-one
*Tried "Download Only" & "Format all+Download"
after "Almost no life at all"
====First I used MY OFFICIAL UPDATED ROM.
Next, the Outdated ROM. Last, CUSTOM ROM - No Luck.

There's this youtube video
How to unbrick Any dead mtk phone 100% tested solution
I googled and saw a video on youtube that, advance option + Physical Format option could be
one of the essential *Last Resort to be able to SUCCESFULLY FLASH your CHINESE PHONE.
Sadly, I believe, in NEWER version of SPFT it's not possible when you load the MT6580 scatter file?
I also used old-oldest version of SPFT but it everytime i load the scatter file it says some error
*not legal blah blah blah? Please. Do you have any idea?
Is it possible in MTK6580?
I used old-oldest version of SPFT
version(s) 3.xxxx But, it won't allow to load my MT6580.
Any way to bypass it? Please..
PHOTO FOR REFERENCE. THANKS IN ADVANCE..
I GUESS.. MY LAST RESORT? IF YOU WATCHED THE EMBED VIDEO FROM YOUTUBE..
HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED..
METHOD I haven't tried..
FLASH USING Windows 7 OS.
QUESTION:
What is CYANOGEN OS?
Can I unbrick my phone using that OS? or by upgrading or downgrading it?
Is there any other tool to force my phone to take all the ROMS or format it?
Please Please.. Help me..
Thanks in advance and more power..

Cyanogen OS is a custom rom. It can only flash through custom recovery. But you can't even access the recovery mode then it can't help you to unbrick your android.
Other method to physical format using spft?

1. I just wanna ask, do you have any idea or IS IT POSSIBLE? to format my device using the
ADVANCE OPTION + PHYSICAL FORMAT FORCEDLY ERASE (BAD BLOCK MARK IS ERASED) in SPFT?
I see that option in new-latest version of SPFT but, WHENEVER my ROM were already loaded (MTK6580), that option is gone.
I GOOGLED it but I can't seem to find the right keyword for it.. Do you have any idea? even in other android tool?
There's this guy on YTube that, did that method
KEYWORD: How to unbrick Any dead mtk phone 100% tested solution
I can't upload the video..
Also, what is the BEST METHOD to flash the ROM using Windows 7?
I managed to borrow a laptop with WINDOWS 7 32Bit OS installed.
*Should I flash the preloader again?
*Should I untick/deselect it (preloader) and ALWAYS flash other stuff? except CACHE & USERDATA?
* I flashed countless times, I just don't want to make things worse..
**Is it possible to install or flash my rom to EXTERNAL SD? and be able to boot my phone using it? There's this guy on Ytube did that to his dead phone and it booted..
He used, some sort of image file and installed it in sd card using wind32diskimager..
Is it possbile? or for some phone models only?

Same problem with me, I also have an MT6580 device and I also first tried to:
(when I used SP Flash tool, it only fully worked in version SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1532_Win )
1) format the whole flash (in SP Flash tool)
2) only select preloader
3) flash (with Download selected, and phone volume + button pressed in and then connected USB to pc)
4) select all other (recovery, boot, system, ...)
5) flash
For me as well, nothing happened - the phone does not react when I try charging it, and pressing the power button has no effect.
The only advice I can give you is the knowledge that the preloader is in the fault - somehow the preloader on my phone before the flashing was different from the preloader in my stock rom. Perhaps it is the same data, but the address at which it is flashed is wrong. Don't bother yet with flashing the system, userdata or other images - if the preloader is not correctly installed, the phone won't recognize it when it tries to boot up, and the other system, recovery etc. images are useless.
Perhaps a good analogy is: say the preloader is the bios of a computer: if the bios fails to be loaded, then the operating system (android, windows etc - i.e. the system, recovery etc. images) will never be loaded either

Sir please help me out
I have Micromax a120 device. Few days back it got bricked it stuck on bootloop and not working even after factory reset moreover my pc is not recognizing mobile and display message as device descriptor request failed. I have installed all drivers
Hello,
After unlocking the bootloader and installing TWRP on my OUKITEL K6000 Plus I was trying to install madOS, but unfortunately my phone went into Orange State bootloop. I could not enter fastboot anymore, and at some point even Recovery stopped to work. My phone was almost dead. I was looking for solutions but actually there was no clear guide how to revive a patient. I found that many people have similar issue so when I finally managed to resurrect my K6000 with original stock ROM I decided to share my solution.
Here's the fix:
1. Google for 'Techprolonged MediaTek MT65xx USB VCOM Drivers'. Using the guide you will find install MediaTek DA USB VCOM Port Drivers via Device Manager (step 5). Do this even if you already previously installed MediaTek USB VCOM Drivers. This is very important to install this DA version of drivers, otherwise you may have problems with uploading stock ROM via SP Flash Tool.
2. Install SP Flash Tool if you don't have it yet. You can find it easily with google.
3. Download original stock K6000 Plus ROM V6.0. You can find it easily on needrom website (NOTE: you have to create an account on needrom if you don't have it yet). Unpack it.
4. Launch SP Flash Tool, go to Options->Option... in Connection settings change USB speed to Full speed and Battery to with battery. Close Option window.
5. In SP Flash Tool go to Download tab, click on choose right next to Scatter-loading file field, navigate to the folder where you unpacked previously downloaded stock K6000 Plus ROM V6.0. Open MT6750_Android_scatter.txt file.
6. In open menu choose Download Only if it's not selected by default. All fields below should have tick enabled. I mean for 'preloader', for 'recovery', etc...
7. Unplug your phone from PC if it's connected. Shut down your phone by clicking and holding for approx 10 secs ALL THREE BUTTONS: VOL UP + VOL DOWN + POWER. If you do this properly, your phone should not self-boot into Orange State anymore.
8. In SP Flash Tool click Download icon (the one with green arrow), all the fields should become inactive.
9. Using one hand only click and hold at the same time VOL UP + POWER button.
10. Now, while you still hold these buttons, you have to connect your phone to PC (plug in micro USB cable into your phone). VERY IMPORTANT: If you have STATUS_BROM_CMD_SEND_DA_FAIL (0xC0060003) error after you connect it means you don't have DA version of MediaTek driver properly installed (step no. 1).
11. Your phone should start to flash up and you should see the progress in SP Flash Tool status bar. You can release VOL UP and POWER button now. The process may take long time, for me it was more than 1 hour. The longest part was flashing up the [system]. The good thing is you can observe the progress during whole process.
12. When flashing process is end you will see a small window with the information about completion. Now you can unplug your phone, and launch it with POWER button. You should still see the Orange State message but right after that your phone should boot up into normal mode with freshly uploaded original stock ROM. Congratulations!
Hopefully this will also fix your K6000 Plus and maybe even other models.
I'm really sorry I don't provide any direct links, but I haven't posted 10 posts yet and my XDA account is still limited.

this should solve that
STATUS_BROM_CMD_SEND_DA_FAIL
persists even after installing correct drivers?
Solution: Choose
Download Agent as DA-PL in SP flash tools. And follow the same guide.

I thought I put my phone in the trash when I read this.
But in point 9 I had to push only the VOL UP if I press the two buttons, the AP returns an error.
You saved mine as well, slavedriver!
And it is a Teclast Tpad A10S!
I had given it up.
Thanks a lot!
It works also on U20 plus. I had to select DA_SWSEC as Download Agent. Thank you so much!
Guide worked Perfectly for me.
My mobile was bricked in the same Bootloop. The guide worked perfectly for me. Thanks a lot for useful and detailed help.
I understand this thread is almost 1 year old. I tried this procedure and everything went well. The only problem the phone does not boot. It does turn on but nothing comes up. No boot menu no logo just a few flickering lights and a very dark background. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi, do I need my phone to be rooted to do this.
I unlocked bootloader in my gionee f205 from fastboot and now it is in orange state bootloop.
I haven't rooted my phone before doing it.
