Homtom HT17PRO MTK6737M HardBricked - General Questions and Answers

I need help with my mtk6737m phone which i bricked in a really dumb way
I need help flashing it with SP Flash Tool which gives an error that says:
S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (0xFC0)
Here is how i bricked it.
Today i decided that i want to flash a custom recovery on my phone, so i did and it didnt work.
For some reason when i tried to boot to the custom recovery it didnt work, it went to the stock one
For some reason i got stuck in a boot animation too...
So then decided that it was a good idea to flash to complete stock rom back to my phone,
but chose the format all + download option, so that the changes the custom recovery made
were deleted. Well, so i thought...
Is there any way to fix my bricked phone? Its the only one I have :crying::crying::crying::crying:

This wasn't extremely clear...
There's really not much of anything on the forum regarding a Bricked H17.
The following links are probably the best you're going to be able to locate via a Google search.
The following is just a few guides (with downloads) for installing the Stock Firmware back to your device.

https://www.getdroidtips.com/install-official-stock-rom-on-homtom-ht17-pro/
https://romprovider.com/2018/02/install-official-firmware-homtom-ht17/
The following is just the download firmware from the HomTom website.
https://www.homtom.cc/DownFile
If your device is completely unresponsive (aka dead) then the only real option for you is either to return the item for a repair/replacement where you had purchased it or just to contact HomTom.

I'm sorry that I can't help you out any further than this...
I do wish you the best of luck!

Sorry, english is not my main language, its actually portuguese
I'll do my best to explain what happened from the beggining:
My homtom had some issues like, when you used the camera in any app it was dark, and on instagram stories, there were glitches on the screen, green and purple stuff started appearing in the screen and you couldnt see what was happening, so i decided to change my rom to a custom one.
I saw some tutorials..... and after watching them i tried to install TWRP so i could flash the custom rom..
After installing TWRP it wasnt working, when i tried "volume up + power" it went to the stock recovery.
So i thought it was a good idea to select format + download on SPFlashtool so it formatted the phone reseted all the changes i made...
After clicking, the phone immediately shut off and SpFlashtool said: S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (0xFC0).
I dont know what i did but somehow i am not able to do anything on my phone, I tried new drivers, older firmware, stock firmware, different cable, different port, charging, but the phone doesnt even light up.
I think there must be a way to access the phone's storage and install android all over again but, what i dont know is how to do that. So thats why im seeking help, but no one seems to understand or know how to do that....
I hope you understand me now and know of a solution, if not, I appreciate that you tried to help me

if your phone have removable bettey, try only format option after remove bettery and after formate complet, download only rom with bettery..

features not working on galaxy S3 after screen/frame swap.

Hello!
I have a SCH-I535PP that has a bad screen and a SPH-L710 that has a good one. I stripped them both down to the "frame" of the screen and replaced all the SPH's innards with the SCH's, besides the front facing cam because the screw is stripped out.
The problem with this is that the pcb is not meant for this "frame" and I have to leave a screw out so that it doesn't sandwich the pcb that connects the upper and lower sections of pcb, possibly un-connecting something as I screw it together. I also had to leave out the black screw as theres no hole in the SPH's frame.
So, the features I'm missing is the camera, vibration, wifi, and the home button. However I'm not sure if the home button worked on this frame so. But if that's the case (which is might be because I can't get into recovery) then I can't clear cache to see if that would fix the said hardware faults.
Worse comes to worse I just need the wifi really, but having the rest of it would be great. Any suggestions?
Thanks so much!

The Digitizer Assembly is compatible between the two models but, not the specific electronic components.
That's pretty much the bottom line...
The ifixit.com website has excellent guides with images if your looking for one too.

Great, so I have a phone that barely works. Least I got my data off it. Still though, there's got to be a way to fix it. I don't care about the vibration and home button but the wifi and the camera are crucial. I still get cell reception and bluetooth, but why don't I get wifi? Doesn't make any sense. It goes to turn on in the settings and turns off. I swapped over the antenna after using the doner phones one, is that what caused it? Using the older phones one? Or is the wifi section directly on the pcb? Maybe it got pinched somewheres or unplugged? No idea.
Thanks for the help!

Alrighty, good thing I have a home button emulator app and terminal emulator I can add su and reboot recovery. However I'm not sure which modem driver I should use? I have the I535PP, not sure where I'd find the file I need to flash in the samsung recovery. Also I got the phone a while ago, it has android 4.4.2. I did a factory reset when I got it, however I've been using a work around to get around the activation screen. I was told if you act like you're going to use the phone with a different sim they'll activate the phone, should I try that? Or should I try and flash a different software to it? Also I've heard of a thing called knox sensor? Will that go off and brick the phone if I try to flash a different version of w/e to it? Also I should add that the phone was rooted with kingroot.
( I've got a sdcard I'll put it onto, it's a .zip right? There anything else I should know about? )
Also, my basebrand version is: I535PPVRUBNF5
Thanks so much!

I believe that the NF5 is the last one released.
I really can't give you much more information than this. I've never had the Prepaid S3.
If you need the Stock Firmware for the I535PP NF5, i do have it on my File Host Account. I uploaded it for another member a while ago and kept it there.

Okay? So should I make a backup and restore it with that firmware? That's basically the same as doing a factory reset right? Should I try to do a factory reset first? I'm new to all this so what should I use to backup? Just the standard android thing (if there is one). Restoring from that backup wont bring my issues back will it? Or is the whole firmware thing just essentially "drivers"? and doesn't reset the phone? I'm confused.
Also could I get the link to said firmware? Again, thanks so much!
I also found this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga.../rom-tw-4-4-2-i535ppvrubnf5-deodexed-t3427237
Seems to be a modified version of the OS/firmware. Idk if it'll work for my phone though. I need a modified loader or something? Any suggestions?

First of all, here's the link for the stock Firmware (it's zipped up so all you need to do is unzip it).
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120750115
That other link is a modified stock Firmware. It's basically the stock Firmware that's debloated and other modifications that's outlined by the developer.
Since the device cannot be unlocked for a custom firmware, that is basically the stock Firmware that's modified and only has what's needed for the devices recovery to think it's the real deal.
I have an S4 that can't be unlocked but, it's got the stang5litre firmware that's modified the same way.
I hope i explained it okay via text...

Well with you saying it's not unlocked, when I first boot the phone it says custom with an unlock padlock? Is that what you mean? So am I set to try and flash that de-bloated version and try it out? It says there that I need safestrap. No idea what that is but I looked into it some, should I try and use it to flash that version or use the standard samsung recovery? Or will it not work that way, probably not.
Also the link you sent me I got a "504 Gateway Time-out"
EDIT: I rooted it with kingroot and I'm fairly certain that it made the custom bit appear. Did it disable the knox sensor or something, and make it to where I can flash custom roms or w/e?
EDIT2: The site was temp down, got it now.
Alright, I downloaded the file you sent me. Going to copy it to my sdcard. Is there something specific I should name the file? Also I want to extract it so it's .MD5 not .zip like you said? Also what option do I select in the recovery mode? Apply update from external storage?
Thanks so much!
Well I can't even connect my device to my PC. It wont show up. I had this problem before and I can't remember what I did to fix it... Keeps showing up as a modem. I've installed the correct drivers though. wtf... Then tried samsung keis, didn't work. Tried samsung smart switch which said my device was supported but when I went to connect it, it decided it wasn't..... I'm trying USB driver version 1.5.14.0, but when I connect my device windows update installs more ****. Is that the problem? It keeps installing the wrong driver? Idfk starting to get annoyed now lol, going to take a break from it and see what you say tomorrow.
(it's not the cable either, I'm using the data/charge cable from my logitech g700s)
Thanks again.
Edit: I'm on windows 7 x64, and in the devices menu it's showing as a modem.
I've been looking into it a little more. I found a loader called TWRP. However I can't find the specific I535PP version, again, or is it this one?
https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys3verizon.html
So if I installed that, I should be able to install that custom rom? A de-bloated version would be great, it runs a little slow, and gets pretty hot playing games. Plus a little change too, but I still need to backup all my data and some game saves. I just need to be able to access it from my pc >_< I've format'd my pc since I had it working last
Edit: The rom install instructions say to use either safestrap or flashfire. I'm not sure which one to use, or if I should try to use the TWRP. Or if I should try neither of them because I might brick my device? Idk, can't wait to hear from you. Or should I just forget about all this and try and flash the original firmware you sent me?
Edit2: I also made a thread here asking the same questions.
Thanks!
Unfortunately I still can't get it to connect to my pc. There's a bunch of other threads I've looked at but trying different things haven't made it work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
wtf, even booting into download mode does nothing when plugging it to my pc. I have no idea what's up with this phone... It says the following up at the top left:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SCH-I535PP
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
BOOTLOADER RP SWREV: 2
It's also stuck in download mode now, and just says "Downloading... Do not turn off target !!" Wtf is it downloading???
It's great that I have an overcomplicated flash light essentially, or if I restart the device possibly a paper-weight. I'll give it a little longer and see if it'll shut off by the button, if not I'll pull the battery.
Edit: It was fine, but still an overcomplicated flashlight. I guess you normally get out of DL mode by holding home which doesn't work for me, but removing the battery was fine.
Another unfortunate thing is that I can't enable mtp mode because of the weird way I have to get into the phone. My notification bar doesn't exist at the top, when I was first using the phone it would randomly pop up and work out of the blue, but if I restarted the phone or hit the home button it would send me back the activation screen, therefore having me to go into settings and enable standard home screen mode and a couple seconds later it pops to the home screen or lock screen if I don't type my code.
Any idea what the number is I have to dial specifically for the I535PP? By VZW? I've tried them all
Hope you haven't forgotten about me @Ibuprophen xD Sorry for all the questions.
Thanks and look forward to hearing from you!
Also I just found this video
https://youtu.be/9LLOmoE-tp0
So from what this vid says do I just click AP on odin while my phones in download mode, click the file you sent me and let it go? I don't think the same would apply to the other flash install, as it isn't compiled into a .md5 format.
But again I still haven't been able to back some files up off my phone. Only if my pc had bluetooth, because that surprisingly works on the phone. Might just get a usb bluetooth adapter if I have to... So annoying, idk what I did last time to fix it...
I really do apologize @Sokoloft for not responding to you lately...
I've just been getting a bit swamped with various items regarding my current developments, unreleased developments, various other XDA responsibilities and my personal responsibilities at home.
After a quick review of your posts here, i am not sure exactly where you are at now and even what your trying to do now exactly.
I did notice a question or two on other posts and, though their not bad questions in itself but, they are actually reflecting (to myself and others) that your not really reading the OP's nor are even searching the threads themselves for previously answered questions from other members that match/are similar to your question.
I'm not trying to nor is it my place to lecture any member but, I'm just providing you with a reflection of what I, personally, am viewing/understanding.
I just want to quickly add that if you're that lost in what you're doing, i can only recommend/suggest (in a friendly way) to do your homework by looking into and understanding what you want to do, is it possible to do and how those actions affect your device.
With that stated...
I just want to remind you of 2 things that I've stated on a previous post(s).
1) I don't have/never had the Prepaid S3.
2) There's no way to unlock the bootloader of your specific prepaid device.
The post regarding that customized version of the stock ROM is a good alternative as well as (i think it's available for the S3 Prepaid) the stang5litre that's also a customized version of the stock ROM.
If you can respond to my other questions (above), I'll try to provide you with some help the best way i can.
Thank you very much for your time, patience and understanding with this!

Okay, so where I am at is that I cannot connect the phone to my pc. It registers itself as a modem still no matter what driver I've tried. I can't transfer files from it that I need, plus I can't get that md5 file on the sdcard if that's what I have to do to flash the file you sent me. Or do I have to use ODIN? Regardless I'm not even sure if ODIN recognizes the device. At one point when I had tried samsung keis it almost established connection with the software, but nothing in windows explorer.
I'll get back to you more on this later tonight.
Thanks again.
EDIT: I had this problem when I initially got the damn phone, and I can't remember wtf I did to fix it. This is immensely frustrating...
EDIT2: I also need the number to dial for VZW I535PP to enable MTP mode as I can't get to my notification bar. That might help? Every one that I've tried doesn't go into that menu. Could it be because my phone isn't activated?
Essentially @Ibuprophen once I can connect to the device I'm going to back some game data up and some photo's and then flash the file you sent to me. Do I use ODIN to do that or put it on my sdcard and use the standard recovery? Or can I not because I have a locked boot-loader? Or can I because it's modified to look like the original? I'm confused...
Currently contacted samsung support, I'll see what they say about it not connecting. This is crazy though, it should just plug up and work without all this bs.
Thanks again, hope to hear from you soon.
I haven't forgotten about you @Sokoloft...
I plan to provide you with a brief tutorial on restoring the Stock Firmware using Odin for your device.
In the meantime, i just uploaded the Stock PIT files for your device. PIT is short for "Partition Information Table" and is used with the firmware file in Odin to tell it how and where to re-partition the internal memory for the factory firmware installation. The PIT file isn't typically needed but, in some cases, it is needed.
The following link is to the PIT files but, be sure to grab the one that matches the amount of internal memory of your device.
The Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 Prepaid devices were released with 16, 32 & 64 GB of internal memory.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=225361
I'll be back with some more information for you.

Samsung Note Pro 12.2 boot loader install failed - no Download or Recovery option

Hi All,
I was going to refresh my Note pro 12.2 SM-P900 unit but things have gone awry. I was installing version TWRP boot-loader/recovery to then upgrade to lineage.
The TWRP recovery load via Odin completed but the install didn't mesh.
The device is now determined to stay turned on at the black and white Samsung loading page with RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING in hurtful red letters.
I can get to the "this is dangerous, press vol down page" but if I click down (or up) it restarts. If I try to go straight into download mode it just restarts as well.
Obviously cant take out the battery (currently letting it run down and see if that helps). I've read a number of guides on the various home, volume and power combinations and have done this on numerous devices before but this is the first time I've really managed to mess things up but statistically after the number of times I've don't this stuff it was going to go wrong eventually. If I could get it into download i'd be able to re flash a recovery and I'm sure all would be well but that doesn't seem like an option!
I think this may be the end of the line for it, but any and all suggestions welcome at this point.
PM

Thankyou Ibuprophen,
Appreciate you taking the time to call these out.
The boot loop resolved when I allowed it to fully power down and then recharged and followed the instructions again.
Just in case anyone else runs into this, take time, have a up of tea, let it drain and die. Then follow the instructions called out above.

[MOD] Is there a way to root Umidigi C2?

Hi All,
I have this phone and I have installed the cutom ROM provided by Umidigi admins, but this does give any recovery capabilities.
When I boot to recovery I see an Android fellow lying belly up.
I am asking because I have to recover my files from the data partition after accidental factory reset. I have pulled up my phone from the pocket and voila! I have no idea how this happened. I had situations where somehow the user was switching itself in the pocket, but this time it was a proper factory reset.
To use any recovery software I have to 1st root it.
I have enabled USB debugging and enabled Unlocking in Settings, but I cannot unlock it from fastboot saying "unknown command", but fastboot is reporting: unlocked: no
Even if I want to clone the data partition using DD command the phone has to be rooted.
For quite some time I cannot post anything on Umidigi crappy message board.
Please advise.
Best regards,

Thank you for pointing this out.
It looks like I am stuck for now.
And you know what?
I took my smart phone to the park (same location) and it factory reset itself again.
I am taking it out from my pocket and voila I see a setup wizard screen!
All lost again! Crazy.
I am just under the impression that while it was in my pocket some keyboard combination has made this happen.

Reinstall android

Hi
Is it possible to flash the firmware of my LG F70 without using any of the phone "options" ?
Let me be a bit clearer :
I can't boot in recovery mode or download mode (even with adb). Either the phone is stuck in a boot loop or I got a "DemiGod crash handler : DBI Apps watchdog reset" purple error screen.
The phone is able to boot normally and I can use it. But I suspect a strong malware is causing me some troubles. I never tried to root the phone or something like that.
My phone can't help me. Can you ?
Thanks

A5 2017 no sim detected after flashing, please help

Hey guys, I wouldn't have really decided to post this if I didn't really need some help from you
So, i tried to root my phone (A5 2017) and flashed with odin a cwm that firstly failed and was buggy, then I decided to flash twrp instead.
After that root wasn't really working so I finally decided to flash a custom rom.
I tried many that had some problems and then after I finally flashed Lineage 15.1 there was no sim card detected. The sim doesn't have any problems and isn't broken.
Then I downloaded the stock rom for my country from SamMobile and flashed it through odin. There were no problems with flashing it but after that, the sim is still not detected or availible.
I gotta mention that now my recovery is the default android one and when i enter it it's saying :
"No Support SINGLE-SKU
Supported API : 3
dm-veriify error...
failed code : 0x02"
"E:failed to find /misc partition"
I really need your help with this one guys
