Hi Friends,
This is my first post at XDA.
I unfortunately bricked my Panasonic P81 after rooting it and adding XHalo app and the boot manager app from the Xposed Framework.
The situation is as follows-
I can get to the logo, it screams Panasonic and then doesnt boot. I dont have CWA installed and worse, my SD card which had my stock backup is also lost. This means I need a mechanism to stock recover and perhaps flash boot.img and recovery.img?
I am stuck at this point, not sure how to proceed. I can get to recovery, have cleaned cache, backed up user data ,done a factory reset. Even after factory reset it still cant boot.
Please help me with a step-by-step instruction to recover, this phone is dear to me. How do I flash?(boot.img or rom) I have downloaded Sagar Patel's (good bless him!) backup and the images, but need guidance on how to flash and recover.
Please help friends and apologies for any incovenience. I am still a newbie
Guys please help!!

Guys please help!!

Hope drivers are installed properly in your pc.
If you are going to use sp flash tool, Make sure SP flash tool is set to auto-detect com port, not manual selection
If you find that it is driver problem, following may help you.
Please note that there is nothing that much hard in driver installation as it is just to connect your device with your pc but because many users still face problem of driver installation, you can try following tricks!!!
It is observed by me that driver installation and adb interface problem do not happen in windows XP as eventually and generally it is happened in windows 7 and later…so, you can simply try on windows xp if you are able to do so…(you can use dual operating system too!!! Or good relation with neighbor/friends/colleagues/someone/all can be beneficial here!!!)
Note that all tricks here are not necessary to work, but it may still work for you….
Take one by one step, if the first step does not work for you, only then try next step. This is not all steps to be taken at once type guide…This is simply Try and error type tutorial/tricks…
There are following problems I have come to know regarding to driver installation and conflicts:-
Device is charging through usb cable but there is no usb option displaying on either device or no driver installation box/message/pop up appears in pc….
Missing sound of that usb-pc connection
Sound of disconnection after couple of seconds of connection
Adb interface is missing
Ok, sometimes changing usb connection type for example, from mass storage or mtp to camera, ptp, usb tethering or something else can bring adb interface…..
Try with different USB Cable. You can use original nokia or samsung tiny cable instead of cable having long length. Sometimes, length matters!!!!
Try in different USB Port.
Sometimes, you have to disable signature verification in your pc for proper installation of driver.
Had you disabled your antivirus before downloading, installing and while running your tools/softwares? You may need to do so…
Have you installed the software (or say, all associated softwares/tools) in C-System drive?, if not, then you should first install required software/tools in system drive that is usually C drive in Microsoft-Windows OS…or try after installing them on desktop.
Keep all necessary files/tools (driver files, flash tools, rom etc…) on desktop.
Download proper driver According to your model/device, According to chipset inside, According to Official site of manufacturer, Official site of chipset, through PC Suite/flash program of your device…
If the problem still not solve, you should try all available driver packages of your device one by one whether from official site of chipset inside your device, or any forum, adb, pdanet+ or foxfi, universal driver, VCOM Port driver, drivers from hexamob through play store, and find all possible packages and see if someone make positive result after installation…
If the problem still not solve, you should install remaining update packages of your system (PC) including all primary, secondary, essential, Non-essential updates….whatever, just install them all….reboot your pc…and see if problem is solved….
If you can connect the device but somehow found that device driver still not installed properly, just go to device manager in your pc, click on portable device, right click on your device and apply “Update driver”. Click on “automatically search” when a window prompt ask you.
If the problem still persists then,
Just remove all the drivers using usbdeview (I have given link also to download usbdeview in earlier post)
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B511A2txfpAPbmwtQXZqbnVlT1U&usp=sharing
Install usbdeview and remove all the drivers
You can also fix this by showing the nonpresent devices in devicemanagement (google for show nonpresent devices for explanation)
Go to com ports, and delete all mediatek drivers except preloader driver. Now start over. It can help if you choose the same usb port where you had success last time.
Use Usbdeview to uninstall all the drivers before connection, restart the pc, Extract and keep driver zip files and other useful files/tools on desktop…just start your tool… and try to perform your tasks like backup…or restoring the backup…without worrying about that sound of disconnection you may listened after couple of seconds of connection or don’t even worry if you are just missing that sound of usb-pc connection….just try on your tool…
If still problem of driver installation persists, then simply use usbdeview and uninstall all drivers, restart your pc and try following steps:-
There are various ways to install proper drivers at the time of connecting the device with pc depending upon how you connect it.
Follow the procedure both with and without battery
Simply plug in via USB Cable
Connect by holding volume down button
Connect by holding volume up button
Connect by holding Power button
Connect by holding power and volume down
Connect by holding power and volume up
Connect by holding both volume up and down button
Connect by holding thrice volume up, down and power button
Connect by holding power and home button
Connect by holding power and menu button
Remember which method works and which drivers are installed
in LAN-Devices you may have different android device
Select/set drivers by hand and use the mtk usb driver, now Flashtool finds the phone
Suppose holding volume down method without battery works for you then what next you have to do is as below:-
1.TAKE THE BATTERY ,SD ,SIM OUT OF THE PHONE
2.HOLDING VOLUME DOWN CONNECT IT TO PC VIA USB(ONCE YOU HEAR A SOUND FROM PC YOU CAN RELEASE VOLUME DOWN)
3.OPEN DEVICE MANAGER(ON COMPUTER SEARCH IT OR CONTROL PANEL)
4.WAIT FOR 2-3 MINUTES
5.YOU WILL HEAR A SOUND & OTHER DEVICE WILL BE DISPLAYED
6.IN OTHER DEVICES ->MT65XX PRE-LOADER
7.RIGHT CLICK MT65XX PRELOADER
8.UPDATE DRIVER
9.LOCATE THE DRIVERS PROVIDED ACCORDING TO YOUR OS(VISTA,WIN7,XP)
10.IT WILL DO ITS STUFF
Install Mediatek drivers, preloaders, VCOM port etc…
Manually Install MediaTek USB VCOM Drivers
Requirement:-
1. Download MediaTek USB VCOM Drivers
2. Download USBDeview
Here is the link from you can get it:-
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B511A2txfpAPbmwtQXZqbnVlT1U&usp=sharing
Procedure
(* Note: You might need to disable drivers signature verification in Windows for this to work smoothly.
If you want to turn off device driver signing in Windows completely, do the following.
Windows 7:-
1. Hit the Win+R keys together to open the run dialog
2. Type gpedit.msc to open the local groups policy
editor
3. Expand ‘Administrative Templates’ (it’s under ‘User Configuration’)
4. Expand ‘System’. Click ‘driver Installation’
5. In the right panel, double click on ‘Code Signing for Device Drivers’
6. Choose ‘Enabled’ in the window that appears.
7. In the underlying options, choose ‘Ignore’
8. This disables drivers signing in Windows 7, and now you can install unsigned drivers in Windows 7.
9. Click Apply, OK. Restart your computer to install unsigned drivers
Windows 8
1. Hold down the Windows key on your keyboard and press the letter C to open the Charm menu, then click the gear icon (Settings)
2. Click More PC Settings
3. Click General
4. Under Advanced Startup, click Restart Now
Note: In Windows 8.1, the ‘Restart Now’ button has moved to ‘PC Setting -> Update & Recovery -> Recovery.’
5. After restarting, click Troubleshoot
6. Click advanced options
7. Click Windows Startup Settings
8. Click Restart
9. After restarting your computer a second time,
choose Disable driver signature enforcement
from the list by typing the number 7 on your Keyboard Your computer will restart automatically.
10. After restarting, you will be able to install
unsigned drivers normally; however, Windows
will display a warning message. When the
warning appears, click Install this driver
software anyway. )
1. Install USBDeview and use it to uninstall all Vcom, Mediatek and Preloader drivers
1b. Extract the contents of the Mediatek USB VCOM file
2. In Windows, go to Control Panel and open Device Manager
3. Click any of the device groups (any of the items on the list) you see there, and then from Action menu, select Add legacy hardware
4. Add hardware wizard will be opened, click next
5. Select Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced)
6. Click next two times and click Have Disk button
7. Click browse and find where your driver's .inf file is, then select it (the .inf you'll select is located in drivers > USB Vcom driver > your OS) . Ensure to select the 64 bit .inf if your PC is 64 bit
8. Click Open and OK. You will see the drivers listed.
9. Select your driver there (select Mediatek Preloader USB VCOM Port)
10. Click Next and finish installing
11. If SP flash tool or other software still dont detect your phone then also install Mediatek DA VCOM (consider installing more from the list of drivers one at a time if need be)
Try in different PC
Sometimes windows XP works when windows 7 fails!!!
Case:-
It did the same thing with my MT6577 (Wiko Cink PEAX), so I connected it with a battery and without holding VOL+. Then "MT65xx preloader" appeared in device manager then disappeared (once). It is normal that it disappears. When you start Flash_tool and when you click Download (or whatever you want to do) THEN you connect the phone (in off state), and the flash operation will succeed.
Guess what? Once my Panasonic P81 could install driver and got detected after approx. 5 hours of continuous connection with win 7 x64!!! Meanwhile, I tried first usbdeview and then manually installation of mediatek driver but manual installation had failed as my p81 was only charging when it was connected with pc….So, mediatek – windows 7 conflicts….but, when I tried tiny (very small) nokia usb cable, it works instantly…
If you ever meet problem when you connect your android with your pc via usb cable and find that your android is charging but could not recognize or there isn’t that options of “USB connection” then just disconnect your android, power off it, remove battery, connect it without battery with your pc through usb, let it have some time to recognize your android or hear that voice of “usb connection” you were just missing…after that, insert battery and switch on your android…you are done!!!
Sometimes removing both sim cards and battery and then re-inserting them after a couple of seconds also works.
Try with different USB Cable
Try in different USB Port
Try in different PC
Sometimes windows XP works when windows 7 fails!!!
Use usbdeview to remove all the usb devices and then add your device
Find proper driver of your device:-

In my opinion MIUI is best because it has a self large community like xda and launch updates per month so many that you will fed up installing them.....if you download and install one update you will be amazed that it will say 3 more system updates pending......and if you complain a bug next month it got fixed.....only thing is to find one...
PS don't download the miui 6 for p81..complained by many p81 user that it hard bricked the device.
And that miui is not official i.e. some developer made his own one and DO not tested that it works or not......

11 - After installing the drivers release the "Volume +" and let the phone reboot himself
12 - Verify the correct installation of the drivers in the "Device Manager" on your computer, it needs to have the following items:
"Lenovo Composite ADB Interface" under ADB Android Device, "Lenovo HS-USB Modem Phone" under Modem, "Lenovo HS-USB Diagnostics" and "Lenovo HS-USB NMEA" under COM/LPT ports.
If you see such headings you have all the necessary drivers installed, disconnect the phone from the USB cable and then switch off
13 - Unzip the downloaded file "K920_S288_160224_ROW_QFIL.rar" and copy the entire contents of the folder to "C:/"
14 - In the program "QFIL" fill for "Programmer patch" by select "Browse>prog_emmc_firehose_8974.mbn" from "K920_S288_160224_ROW_QFIL\SW"
15 - Under "RawProgram" select "Load XML>rawprogram0.xml"
16 - Following the "Patch" select "Select patch file>patch0.xml"
The result should look like in the picture below ...

Hi
do phone have to have cm12.1 rom when following these instructions, or can it be any rom?
No matter what the ROM or an Android version is used on phone.
But remember that all DATA on all partition will be deleted (Internal Storage include)!!!
Make backup of everything important before you will start...
c.x
cant install quallcomm driver to win 10, probably therefore QFIL say "no port available"?
Which version of WIN10 do you use? 32bit or 64bit?
Click on the "*.inf" file in the "Qualcomm_USB_Drivers\Checked" directory and choose "Install"
Otherwise, QFIL always shows "No port available" until you connect phone into USB port and wait for install all necessary drivers...
c.x
thanks
I have win10 32bit. I tried to do like u said, but it gives me error "a problem was encountered while attempting to add the driver to the store"
There are 3 install files, choose every file in directory "Qualcomm_USB_Drivers\Checked\x86" or "Qualcomm_USB_Drivers\Free\x86" (qcmdm.inf, qcser.inf and qcnet.inf). You have to be login as Administrator in WIN10.
What happen when you connect your phone and run "QFIL"?
(I mean like in step: 10 - Press and hold the "Volume +" button and connect the USB cable to the switched off phone (will switch to service mode which allows installation/reinstallation Qualcomm drivers))

1.Download the QFIL flash package ZIP and appropriate ZIP from Drivers+QFIL.
2.Extract the ZIPs to a folder whose complete path has no spaces (space characters) at all.
3.Make sure you uninstall any other phone's PC Suite/drivers as they may cause conflicts. Microsoft Emergency Driver (installed for restoring Lumia devices) is known to conflict, please uninstall it.
4.Go to Drivers+QFIL folder extracted in Step 2, run the appropriate 'INSTALL_DRIVERS_&_QFIL.bat' and follow the instructions.
5.Backup contacts, SMS, apps, etc. as well as the entire internal storage as they will all be wiped(you will setup a new phone). Internal storage WILL BE erased when using the QFIL flash method.
6.Run 'QFIL' program. (If Unable To Find It Search It In Start Menu You Will Find It There)
7.Select 'Flat Build' as build type.
8.Click on 'Browse', select the 'prog_emmc_firehose_8992.mbn' file from the 'X3a40_S217_160623_ROW_QFIL' folder which you extracted.
9.Click on 'Load XML' and select 'rawprogram0.xml' followed by 'patch0.xml'.
10.Make sure you completed each step precisely, the USB cable is connected ONLY to USB port (USB 2.0 preferably) of PC and not to device yet, the device is powered off and is charged (at least 40%).
11.Now boot into EDL by plugging in the USB cable to device and quickly pressing and holding power button for ~1 second. QFIL's 'No port available' text should change to 'Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COMXX)'. The display will stay off so, don't worry about it.
12.Within ~5 seconds put the device on a stable surface (so that it doesn't move around or shake) and press the 'Download' button on QFIL. If you are late, the device starts to power on normally and you need to go back to Step 11 and continue.
13.Wait for the flash to complete and 'Download Succeeded' message appear at the bottom.
14.Unplug the USB cable from the device and press and hold the power button for ~10 seconds to power it off.
15.Now power on the device normally. If display doesn't turn on press and hold the power button again for longer time, it will boot.
16.Once you have finished the initial set up, open dialer, dial '####682#', choose your region (IN - For India) and confirm. [Don't Skip This Step Its Important]
NOTE - IF Having Trouble In Installing The Drivers Or Detecting The Phone In QFIL Google On How To Disable Signature Enforcement In Windows 8 or 8.1 or 10 And After Doing That Again Install The Drivers.

TIPS & INFORMATIONThe various modes X3a40 can boot into:
Recovery mode: Press and hold Volume up + Volume down + Power together until Lenovo logo shows up and flickers once. Release the buttons and you will reach the recovery. This opens up the recovery of the device.
Qualcomm Diagnostics mode: Press and hold Volume down + Power button together until Lenovo logo shows up and flickers once to boot into this mode. This opens up the Qualcomm Diagnostics screen which has a number of hardware testing and other tools along with ability to flash the stock ROM. It is also used for further Diagnosis using a PC.
Fastboot mode: Press and hold Volume up + Volume down and plug in the USB cable(already connected to PC). You may also use the ADB command "adb reboot bootloader". Obviously you need a working device with USB Debugging turned on and ADB installed on PC. This opens the traditional Fastboot interface.
EDL mode: Plug the USB cable and quickly press and hold the power button for a little while. Device stays in EDL only for ~5 seconds unless you start firmware flash via QFIL. You can also use ADB command "adb reboot edl". This will put your device in Qualcomm Emergency Download Mode which is meant to flash stock firmware using QFIL tool on working/bricked devices.
Normal mode: This is what you boot by normally pressing the power button. I don't need to say much about this one.
Keep your NV data (IMEI, Serial No., etc.) backed up from QFIL>Tools>QCN Backup Restore. Device must be in Qualcomm Diagnostics mode. There are many more ways to do this.

Will just flashing the SuperSU zip enable me to get root in Marshmallow rom?
Or should I do everything from this thread again to gain root? I already have root in my lollipop and want to update to Marshmallow only if I can get root in it.

This is not a question but instructions on how to flash this very rare phone (I could not find anything about this anywhere)
basically the company who makes it actually provides all the files but they are not easy to find
if you know what to do.. the ftp is located here
ftp://ftp.vonino.org/public/Firmware/
if you don't, continue on..
1. download the USB drivers and install them (sounds easier than it actually is)
here are some instructions from the company but they are in romanian
ftp://ftp.vonino.org/public/Firmwar...MTK/Vonino procedura actualizare software.pdf
but I can break it down for you (if you are on windows 10 x64 like): (info from here with some changes)
1.1 disable Windows 10 - 64 bit driver signature enforcement
- Click on Start then on Settings
- Click on Update & security then in the left pane click on Recovery
- Under Advanced startup click on Restart now button (you might wanna write the next parts on paper)
- Click on Troubleshoot then on Advanced options
- Click on Startup Settings then on Restart button
- The computer will restart with the Startup Settings screen
- To disable the driver signature enforcement until next restart press on number key 7 or F7 on your keyboard.
- wait for windows to start ..
1.2 install MTK VCOM USB Drivers
(I actually did this two times and will explain the two methods)
- download drivers from here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087012126 and extract to a folder (1)
- download drivers from here http://ftp.vonino.org/public/Firmware/01_GENERAL_DRIVERS_FOR_MTK/ (Driver_Auto_Installer_v1.1228.00.rar) and extract to a folder (2)
ALTERNATIVELY to this next section you can just right click the inf file and click install.
- go to device manager (in w10 u can right click the start button and select it from the list)
- here select your computer THEN go to Action -> add legacy hardware
- On the Welcome to the Add hardware Wizard window click on Next button
- Select Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced) and then click on Next button
- Click on Show All Devices then on Next button
- In the Add Hardware window click on Have Disk… button
- In the Install From Disk windows click on Browse… button
- In the next window – Locate file – browse for the folder (1) that you have extracted on the desktop at the beginning
- Select the version of the driver according to your Windows 10 version – for 64 its "Windows 10 x64 MTK USB Drivers" (for 32 its Windows 10 x86 MTK USB Drivers)
- Click the OK button to load the driver
- From the list of drivers select MTK USB Port and click on Next button
- If a red warning window will open, click on Install this driver software anyway
- Now remove the device that was installed but leave the drivers in the operating system. (To do that in the Device Manager window expand Ports (COM & LPT) section, Right-click and click Uninstall on the MTK USB Port, making sure in the Confirm Device Uninstall window, that the box Delete the driver software for this device is empty)
- do this again for the other driver
- just this time browse for this folder Driver_Auto_Installer\SmartPhoneDriver\x64\Infs\ (or x86...)
- and select this file: usbvcom.inf
- then pick the first item.. DA USB VCOM Port
2. Download SP-Flash-Tool from ftp://ftp.vonino.org/public/Firmware/02_GENERAL_FLASH_KIT/SP-Flash-Tool-v5.1532.00.rar or http://tehnotone.com/download-sp-flash-tool-v3-v5-latest-versions/ and extract it
3. Download the latest stock ROM here
http://ftp.vonino.org/public/Firmware/Vonino_Smartphones/Jax_X/
- extract the contents of the zip file to a folder !
4. Flash the phone (https://androidmtk.com/flash-stock-rom-using-smart-phone-flash-tool)
so in order to do the actual flash
- turn off the phone and remove the battery (dont attach any cables to it yet)
- open flash_tool.exe
- select Firmware upgrade from the dropdown
- browse for the Download Agent and select the MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin in the SP-Flash-Tool folder.
- click on the Scatter-loading button and browse for the MT6580_Android_scatter.txt file located in the rom folder you extracted.
- click on the Download button
- connect the phone to the computer using the USB cable (with or without battery but it should be turned off)
- press the volume up and volume down buttons at the same time (I think this is optional, just wait and see if the download starts if not press the buttons)
- leave it to upload the new firmware, once its done a green button will appear
- close the flash tool and disconnect the cable
- start the phone and wait (for me it took about 7 minutes) but this will only happen the first time
hope this helps
ps: related to how I got into this predicament, if you gonna root your phone using Kingroot (it will work) DONT use SuperSuMe to try to remove Kingroot but keep root just coz the adds in the lock screen annoy you, it will boot loop your phone..
ps2: I hope Kingroot and all the other chineseroot ***** go bankrupt .. trying to brick my phone ..
Thank you so much. It wasnt easy but it worked perfect. Thank you for very detailed instructions it helped a lot. God bless you!
Can this phone support Android 7? I saw on the chinese shops that android 7 is rolling out on some MTK devices with 1GB of RAM?
Hello,
tried to flash a custom OS and root on a ZTE Blade L3. I got CWM Recovery working and flashed a CM12.1 rom on it, after that, it failed to mount all partitions /cache etc. etc. then I restarted the phone and it bootloops + fades white immediatly!
Recovery or Bootloader etc. dont work
If I connenct the phone on my computer it connect, disconnnect, connect, disconnect and so on.
Anyone a solution or idea how I could save that?
I can help you, So first we have to know is it Hard bricked or just Soft bricked, In any case it's not hard to unbrick. Just follow these steps :silly:
1. Download SPFlashTool to your PC https://androidmtk.com/smart-phone-flash-tool
2.Download Drivers for MTK6582 (I hope I wrote the right MTK name) http://www.devfiles.co/download/0InO9P5m/MT65xx_USB_VCOM_DRIVERS.zip
3.Download stock firmware
http://r.srvtrck.com/v1/redirect?ur...ar&ad_t=advertiser&ad_zi=YieldLink&ad_dt=link
IF SOFT BRICKED:
-Update drivers with the one up there in the thread, Open SPFlashTool, Find scatter file (just a file with a .txt extension) and place it in Scatter file area in SPFlashTool (search on YouTube how to use SP), After you did that manually add the files that are missing ( it's usually the recovery and some other files that are missing), Then press download and AFTER that connected your phone with a USB cable! Then wait it to flash :victory: ,
IF HARD BRICKED:
-Remove battery,
-Connect to PC with USB cable
-It probably won't recognise your phone, so we need to enter so called META mode so we could flash the PRELOADER, to make the phone recognisable.
-To enter META mode remove battery( if you didn't), connect as I said up there, and try pressing and holding some buttons, I can't remember the correct combination that enters META mode but I think it was all buttons for 5 seconds, anyway you will know when you entered META mode if your PC recognises a change or if he finds the device :good:
-then enter SPFlashTool and flash the PRELOADER only (hope you know to use SPFlashTool)
-After that disconnect your phone and add battery
-Enter SPFlashTool and Flash whole system (all files except CACHE AND USER)
-You should be done ?
Hope it helps
Here's a total solution
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569947486
Flash tool and stock ROM included. Just follow this:
1. unpack
2. run flashtool.exe
3. load scatter
4. click download
5. unplug your battery and plug the phone to your PC via USB
6. wait for process to finish and unplug your phone
7. Boot
P.S. I guess you'll need some drivers. Check the post above.
Good luck!
