[Q] [BRICKED]Cubot GT72

I bought a Cubot GT72 from the net - its basically a chinese knock-off with some very nice specs. And it was working great out of the box; but I had to experiment - right?
Edit: cannot post links; but if you got to www cubot net - you can find the phone easily. The stock ROM is also available.
I fired up MTK-Tools and rooted the phone - no problem there. Then I tried to create a custom CWM and install - that's when things starting going down the drain. It overwrote the recovery and boot partitions - so the phone stopped working. And since then I have been trying various ways to unbrick it.
Luckily, I have another phone with the exact same specs - and was able to download a backup using MTK-Tools and another one using SPFlash.
Problem - the phone is not switching on at all. When I connect it to the computer (after installing the MTK drivers) - nothing happens. When I connect without battery and keep the Up volume pressed - the computer detects an "MTK COM Port", installs it and within 5-10 seconds the port disappears, comes back after 5-10 seconds - and this cycle keeps repeating. I'm not able to connect to the phone using wither MTK-Tools or SPFlash.
When I connect the working phone - it shows up as "MTK VIA COM Port" and I can connect to it using SPFlash.
Have opened the phone and looked for test points - found one that switches on the phone and connects to the computer - but the result is the same as when I connect with the volume up pressed.
Please help - I'm at my wits end.

Ok Google "mt6572 com port drivers" and look for ***.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.***‎, install the software off that site and see if your computer recognizes the com port, hopefully you'll be able to flash the original rom back to it, let me know how you get on :good:

Thanks Neo, The driver is installed - the problem I'm facing is that the phone keeps going offline every 30-40 seconds and hence am unable to flash.

okies
OK thanks for the reply. Its obvious these MTxxxx devices wait for a signal when you plug them in.
1.Try going to the SDK folder and open a command prompt, type fastboot flash boot "boot.img" > point the boot.img to where you have downloaded the original boot.img for the device.
2.When the fastboot gives you the [waiting for device] prompt plug in your phone.
Let me know how you get on, i'm going to be working on a program to flash these phones from windows. :good:
p.s if the above works then flash your original recovery as well

Hi Neo - tried. The phone gets detected, but fastboot remains stuck at [waiting for device]. Please see screenshot.
Also, I think the preloader is also gone

Diffrent Drivers
Ok i noticed on there website that there are a different set of drivers, where the ones you have installed emulates a com port the other ones gives you direct access to the USB port, go to adb and type adb devices so that your phone will show up in the device manager, uninstall those drivers and install these ones ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm.
Then try and flash the preloader in the usual way, first type flash preloader {name of file} then connect your phone and hopefully you will be able to flash your phone again.
Let me know how you get on again :good:

Apologies for the late reply - tried your method - the phone gets detected as MediaTek DA USB VCOM port - but fastboot or SP flash are unable to detect.
Also, now I have managed to brick the other phone also. Was trying to upgrade the ROM from cubot's website. And even that one is bricked
Really frustrated here.

hi, did you manage to work out anything? i have the exact same problem with my GT72, and i'm out of ideas.

I finally gave up and sent it for repairing. The vendor has been trying to repair it for the last 2 weeks and has given up too. The problem with my phones is that they are not original cubot - the seller on aliexpress is selling fake cubot phones - and we're unable to find the correct files to write to the phone.
Now if only I could find a way to write back the ROM0 file without the scatter files - I had though that would be easy, but am unable to do anything about it

maybe i have a fake one, too then. wierd stuff, that is. faking a $60 phone...
anyway, i'm guessing you can only use that ROM_0 file to create a proper preloader.bin for the phone, but you need a working one for that.
you could do that in MTK droid root & tools, but since our phones doens't get detected, we're stumped.
i think having the right preloader could push us to the right direction, but i'm not planning to order a new phone to revive my dead one
anyway, if you make any progress, let us know!

I backed up the ROM_0 file from a working phone (had 2 - broke both); have uploaded it and shared in this thread. So, if you can create the preloader.bin from it - please be my guest.

i know you uploaded it, but the problem is that i can't do anything with it in MTK droid root & tools, since it only works if there is a working phone connected to the pc.

here's my "progress":
i was able to salvage a preloader.bin from your dump, this was the only one i could get flash tool to start preparing flashing.
i ran into numerous errors after that, but i managed to build a seemingly flashable rom, but it just does not work.
i could format the nand with it, but when i try to flash, it says that the bootlader exceeds partition boundary, whatever that means.
so i'm pretty much stuck at this point, but i'll attach the preloader for you, maybe it will work with your scatter.
the scatter btw did not work for me, since the addresses were wrong (i guess that scatter is for 512MB version, too).
so i built a scatter from scratch with notepad++ it's in the zip, too.
now i just wish there would be someone with a 256MB version able to make a backup with mtk droid and share with us.

Blu Life One XL (2015 - Build KTU84P) Root And TWRP Recovery Auto-Install

Root & TWRP Recovery For The Life One XL
Those of you who have the Life One XL who have been looking to root it and install TWRP custom recovery now have an automated method to achieve root and install TWRP on this phone.
I have put together an auto-install script that will root your Life One XL and flash TWRP recovery onto it in Linux.
Requirements:
You must have both the ADB and FASTBOOT utilities on your computer and in your path.
You must have enabled USB DEBUGGING on your Life One XL phone.
Instructions:
Download this file --> Life One XL Auto-Root & TWRP Install For Linux
Open a terminal window on your Linux computer;
cd to the directory where you extracted the zip file;
Connect your Life One XL to your computer;
Type the command "./root-life-one-xl.sh" <ENTER> in the terminal window;
Sit back and follow the prompts.
Once you are finished, you will have a rooted Life One XL with the TWRP custom recovery installed on it. There are a few custom ROM's available for it -- none of which I have tried personally -- but you will be ready to install them if you choose. You can check the "Official Thread" for more information.
*** I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKED PHONES. THE USE OF THIS FILE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. ***

I have the Blu Life One (not the XL). Will this work on that one? Also, do you a method for Windows pc's?

Check your build number, and see if you have the MediaTek processor. This is designed for the Qualcomm based phone, with build number KTU84P.

I have this phone. it was already rooted and my daughter made the mistake of trying to do the over the air update. The phone has been stuck in android system recovery ever since (2 months).
I have located a repair suite, which appears to be from BLU. Unfortunately I can not get the phone into download mode, so I can't connect the computer to connect to the phone.
Here is a link to the zipped blu repair folder :
BLU X010Q

ahhhh. the sound of one hand clapping

So how do you get to download mode?

Hi 22350.
You help me a lot with that file. I was able to recover my phone back from the recovery mode loop.
Just for the knowledge, the loop appears if someone has his phone rooted and apply the Blu company update.
I have to erase the link because i need to have at least 10 post to use external links. But you can find it in this place.
Again, thank you very much for this.

Do everything the instructions tell you to... Before you hit the "download" button... Simply power off the device... Leave it powered off connect USB... And hit download button WHEN IT BECOMES AVAILABLE ... Worked like a champ for me.

I've been able to get in DL mode by doing the following:
from the Black and white Boot Logo... hold the power +vol up key until it cycles... once it cycles switch to the power + Vol Down Key... Viola! DL Mode...
Not entirely true what stated in the above ...but if you play with it you'll realize Im close you only have to hold either or... To be noted... You can flash the phone from the diagnostic menu as well... Having the device powered off doesnt always work... Having it in diagnostic mode has worked 100% of the time.
I've been tinkering in my spare time... And have bricked this phone a time or dozen or two... But it's still kicking... And you can flash from lollipop back to kk...

The Download mode, its easy to enter... only with the app stay running and ready to upload the rom and drivers installed, you must power off the phone and connect it to the computer... when you connect the phone the computer says new device detected installing drivers... and then the button to start the recovery become enable to put the stock rom...

[Guide] Unbrick Your UNLOCKED Lenovo P2a42

Hey Friends,
You must have seen very good days with Lenovo P2 but when there comes a bad day when your phone stops responding to button holds and restarts. You may or may not have a clue what to do to get your phone working again just like before.
I got into this situation where only thing my phone was able to operate was a RED LED on connecting it to my laptop. Then I had to read tens of pages on XDA to find answers to all my questions. If you are in such a situation and your phone is UNLOCKED then you have come to the right place. Procedure is quite simple but remember, I am writing this guide to define complete process from blackout to complete update so follow this guide as per your needs.
I faced this situation of Total Blackout / Dead Phone (Almost) with only Red LED working and it can be very scary. So, here is the simplest procedure you can follow. I want to appreciate all those people who helped me in finding a way to boot my phone with each and everything working. Long story short, let's get this done.
Tools Required:
I am mentioning here all the Tools you will need. I will urge you to download and save these tools in case you want to unbrick your phone any time:
1. Minimal ADB and Fastboot setup for PC
2. Lenovo USB drivers v1.1.33
3. Qualcomm USB Drivers
4. Qualcomm Flash Image Loader (QFIL) v2.0.1.9 for your PC in case you have corrupted your phone's IMEI and/ or Baseband
5. Blankflash.bat in case you want to recover from total blackout (Attached)
6. Stock MM S048 Firmware for Lenovo P2 in case phone doesn't boot
7. S048_ModemTelephony.zip in case your phone boots through Stock MM S048 but SIM isn't detected and IMEI is missing. I have made a complete modem zip file for installation through recovery.
8. S251_ModemTelephony.zip in case your phone is on latest firmware and doesn't detect SIM and has lost IMEI. I have made a complete modem zip file for installation through recovery.
9. QCN file for recovering baseband version and giving you most precious network signals. (Attached)
10. WinRAR or PeaZip for uncompressing files
I will recommend you to have a specific folder for keeping all these tools in a single place.
Procedure for Unbricking:
Before going with the procedure, make sure you have downloaded all the files you need, updated Lenovo and Qualcomm drivers etc. Here is the procedure:
1. If total blackout with red LED notification when connecting to PC: Unzip blankflash.zip to a folder in C drive. Now connect your P2 to PC through USB, press volume+, volume- and power button simultaneously and double click blankflash.bat. You might have no success in your first try. Just keep trying and it will load your phone to Fastboot. Restart your phone in TWRP if installed and install a working ROM for your phone after doing a wipe. If all is good and phone works OK then great but if you have lost IMEI and baseband then it is better to reinstate your phone through first MM stock ROM S048
2. Install S048 firmware through Minimal ADB and Fastboot - use flash instructions in .txt file.
3. Wait for startup of phone. Check if fingerprint, BT, WIFI and SIM work if all work then OK.
4. If fingerprint, BT, WIFI and SIM are not working then check IMEI through dialer. Dial *#06#. If IMEI is not available then install latest TWRP through Fastboot.
5. Start P2 in TWRP recovery and install S048_ModemTelephony.zip. Restart phone to see if WIFI and SIM work.
6. If SIM is detected but not giving signals and Baseband is shown as unknown then extract 000000_0.qcn file given in .7z and restore through QFIL and restart your phone into Fastboot.
7. Now, install stock recovery of S048 firmware through Fastboot and restart your phone.
8. Use your phone like you normally do and update your P2 till firmware S251 and see if everything works including calls. Update your phone through OTA.
9. After OTA installation, stock recovery may say that update failed. Just press Back, go into Wipe user data menu and Wipe Cache only. Restart your phone which will be updated to latest version and will ask you to update to a newer version. Allow it to download the next update.
10. After installation of S251 update, install latest TWRP through Fastboot and install most recent version of LOS 16 so that your vendor partition is stable and free from any bloated files. Now, use your phone just like you want to.
If you need further clarification then ask in this thread.

You should download S048 and use flashall.bat inside that archive to install it all. However, if you lose IMEI or baseband then you can use modem and qcn files given in this thread.

If red light blinks, your phone can be detected by your laptop. Check ports in device manager settings and you'll see a new port with Qualcomm 9800 series number. If that's there, try blankflash to start in fastboot. It might need some tries before startup. Be patient and keep trying till you are in fastboot.

Press Volume+, Volume- and Power simultaneously and double click flashblank.bat. It might take some tries to finally install the scripts and start phone in fastboot. It took me 20+ tries to finally detect my phone through blankflash. Please, read OP completely.

No. Keep USB connected. Try blankflash. If it doesn't detect phone or go ahead. Close command terminal, double click again and keep doing it till it processes the files. If it is stuck somewhere. Close terminal and try again.

I think you might have damaged some hardware. But anyway if you want to use blankflash, I have a method.
In lenovo p2 we have another mode called QDloader mode, in which we can use blankflash. For entering into this mode, it's little tricky but, can enter in one or two go.
So, here's how:
1. Switch off the mobile.
2. Press the volume up key,
3. While holding the volume up key, insert the usb cable and at the same time press the power button (this is the trick, we have to insert and hit at the same time).
And voila! :highfive: you will see black screen with only red notification led blinking.
we are into QDloader mode. Now use blankflash :good:

Question HELP! Stuck in BOOTLOOP [Tecno Spark 5 pro], cant access safe mode or fast boot mode

Tried to root Tecno Spark 5 pro (KD7) with magisk and after unlocking bootloader everything was working smoothly until i rebooted with the patched magisk image and now its stuck in bootloop.
Pressing power button and volume up to access boot menu doesn't work nor does connecting it to pc and trying to use adb shell.
I thought maybe the solution would be to try to let it run our of battery and try again but that will take a hell of a long time.
PLEASE!!! If there is any help or suggestions just let me know. Its a brand new phone as well ****

Hint: Add Tecno Spark 5 pro (KD7) to this thread's title thus mainly owners of such device get addressed.

can you access fastboot?

no it just keeps looping back to the android start and turns off:
it displays:
orange state
your device has been unlocked and cant be trusted
your device will boot in 5 seconds
then it turns off and repeats

Do you know how to access fastboot on your device?
Sometimes in life the most simple task are the hardest one when you are in distress

This tutorial linked here fixed mine (also tecno spark 5 pro, mediatek 6765). my phone was also in orange state bootloop. exactly as you describe.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/repair-dead-hard-bricked-realme-3-3i-tutorial.4224255/
i had to slightly modify the instructions to suit the spark 5 pro. the only necessary changes are this
uninstall all usb vcom drivers you may have previously installed
FOLLOW THE TUTORIAL TILL YOU GET to where you have to download the bypass utility and exploits collection. please download the one with the mega link (ie Bypass utility compiled)
CONTINUE WITH THE TUTORIAL TILL YOU GET TO FLASHING FIRMWARE. here too my method deviated from the tutorial. even though my phone was detected as com9 by the bypass uility, i could not choose it in UART mode in sp flash tools. So just use usb mode in sp flash tools and it would still work.
CONTINUE WITH THE TUTORIAL. no need to load an authentication file. just load the scatter file and use "Download only" method
if you do this well your phone will be revived!

How were you able to switch off your phone,which button combination worked?i have all the necessary things but i can't install the stock rom with sp-flashtool since its still stuck in bootloop and the phone must be completely off for the installation process

The phone doesn't need to be completely off. allow it to bootloop.
Just follow the process in the tutorial linked to and you should
be fine.
by the way am assuming your bootloader is already unlocked.

please send the link to download the auth file good sir

what smartphone are you using?
what is the operating system of your computer? windows or linux?
so far what have you done?
if you are using a spark 5 pro, you don' t need an auth file. I revived mine without an auth file.
I looks like i would have to write a detailed step-by-step guide on how it worked for me

i followed the steps to the letter but gives me errors everytime

if you found mediatek driver for mt67xx or the one you used can you send me please,i've searched for it and keep finding for mt65xx

Bricked: How can I fix my Phone?

So I recently changed phones, as one of my main hobbies is tinkering with Smartphones and their respective OS's , I decided to Unlock my Xiaomi Redmi 9A (My previous phone) and flashed Ubuntu Touch to it as it was stated as a supported device, using their prebuilt simple installer app seemed to work but midway through the install the installer crashed and the phone powered off, When I turned it I realised it was stuck in a Bootloop, I tried Power + Vol Up for Recovery, that didn't work and neither did Power + Vold Down for Fastboot i tried ADB to push a command to enter EDL (Qualcomm Emergency Download Mode) but that didn't work either. Does any body have any suggestions for how I could get this device running again?

Yea sure, try flashing with Sp Flash Tool
(Btw this device isn't a Qualcomm procesor so no EDL).
You can solve it with Sp Flash Tool
Needs:
- Pc/Laptop
- Usb Cable
- Miui Rom ( Choose your version : https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/dandelion/ )
- Mtk Bypass Tool + LibUsb : https://www.bypassfrpfiles.com/2021/02/mediatek-bypass-tool-mct/
( You have some steps to do here - see the website)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Flashing :
1. Download all the things I gived to you + drivers.
2. Extract and open Sp Flash Tool and MTK Bypass Tool ( Be sure to install the libusb driver)
3.Open MTK Bypass Tool and click on Bypass button.
4. Hold all the buttons from the phone ( or try power + vol up / down, if all doesn't work)
5. When holding the buttons, connect the phone to the pc, wait a few seconds until it finishes to bypass ( Wait ~2 seconds more after bypassing - holding the buttons) ( Hold buttons - connect phone --> PC with usb cable -- wait like 2 seconds after bypassing to work properly.)
6. Open Sp Flash Tool.
7. Select your download agent ( MTK_AllinOne) - from program folder
8. Select your rom in scatter file section ( to be more exactly, choose the mt6765...... File from the rom)
9. Be sure to check Sp Flash Tool Settings - check if u have selected your device port
10. Where it shows - *"Download Only*" ( you can use that, but for me worked Firmware upgrade) - NOT Format
11. Press download button from up
12. If you need help, here is my discord :

It's stuck on a Red Bar saying Downloading DA 100%, and it doesn't do anything else. The phone shows up on Mediatek COM Port 5.

It now says USB Device not Recognised. Yada yada yada, USB device corrupted.

You need to take the phone case and unplug the battery, and try to flash again.
