Hoping someone can help me/my dad. My dad updated his tablet like you normally would but it has been stuck in a bootloop ever since, never getting past the animated Alcatel logo. I can get into the Android recovery, tried factory reset but that just enters a loop. Tried the integrity check which it fails.
I've looked on here and the web for a flashable .zip but can't seem to find this model. Tried SP Flash tool also but to no avail. And i don't think ADB would work?
Is it just a fancy paper weight or can i salvage this for him to use?

I have an AllWinner A10 based tablet that started working weird about a month ago - when the display was on there was no sound and to get the sound you had to turn off the display. I tried to fix it by flashing a custom ROM without understanding the process thoroughly. Long story short, I think I may have bricked it I believe the last thing I did was to install CWM-recovery-5.5.0.4.img through LiveSuit. Now I get only a blue Android logo at startup and nothing more. I have tried installing the stock ROM back but I always get this error in LiveSuit - ".PnpFelIn:invalid ID"
I am attaching a shot of the logo that comes up, hoping that some one will recognize what the logo means, and more importantly, if it's possible to recover my tablet from that point ?
Any pointers are very welcome at this stage.
Thanks
Hi
Any luck sorting this?
I have same error when using livesuit, and phoenixusbpro, ive got the natpc m009s with forgotten pincode, have got image file but can't install it, recovery mode just shows a dead android with red triangle,nothing else happens. Android Multi Tools v1.02b gsmforum gives an error of no files in the tablet so i can't use that either, tried .zip files on sd card too, nothing. tried 3 cables 2 computers with different operating systems.
Any help from anyone much appreciated.
Hi guys, I bought the above phone off Amazon. I found out this very strange device also had a root-enabled kernel out of the box, but my question is about recovery. I want to install CWM as a first choice, if not that, TWRP, but a Google search only tuns up loose references to MTK6589 which is presumably the SoC, but nothing for my specific model. Currently when I reboot to recovery with any root app it shows 'no command' (maybe there is no recovery installed to the recovery partition?) and when entering bootloader mode the device displays what is seen in the attached photo.
I would appreciate any help on getting a working recovery set up on this device.
Thanks!

Hi, I also have one of these phones and have been looking at recovery options with little success.
However I have found a set of instructions in the XDA University about porting CWM. (unfortunalty I can't post a link due to being a Noob, but if you Google 'porting cwm' it should be the top result).
I am going to be attempting to do this once I have got my PC set up dual boot for Linux.
Will post back with news on how it's going. Would appreciate any progress you have made about a recovery option.
Regards
Mad.
first, make a backup of your device using mtk droid tools.
if phone isn`t rooted yet, use this tutorial:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332783
for the recovery, you need to unpack your recovery.img, take the kernel zImage and put it in the cwm-recovery. for mt6589 phones, this one should work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357875
you can unpack/repack your boot.img with this tools:

after obtaining new recovery.img, flash it through SP flash tool or mobileuncle tools.
Recovery Quirk
Chrizzly, thanks for the pointers, will be checking out the tools tonight.
Found a quirk though, may just be my phone.
I booted into recovery last night and as expected the "no commands" came up, but then I took the back off the phone and a recovery menu appeared. Had options in there like reboot, delete cache, delete delvik cache....
I'm assuming this is the stock recovery.
I tested it again this morning and booting into recovery and then taking the back off the phone made the menu appear!!
Any one else care to test and see if it's a stock thing or just a quirk of my phone.
replied before, my post disappeared.. this isn`t related to your device , this is recovery-typical. it is showing the android first, without a menu. you need to press hardware buttons, to get into the menu( this is device-specific, you need to try that, also buttons on the touch screen, if there are some) this will usually bring you in recovery MENU. think you accidently pressed one of these buttons while opening the device.

Re: Stock recovery. Thought it was a button press that got me in first time but I tried it several times and no button worked just pulling the back off. Little puzzled about that but it's something I can live with!!
lovelord:
Re: Files. Thanks for the files, going to try them out as soon as I can!!
Done
I have got CWM working on my i9389 now, there was a few quirks in getting it going.
The method I used was as posted in the MTK Droid Root & Tools thread by rua1.
TIPS
Leave the battery out when doing read back or flash in Flash Tools.
Not mentioned in the instruction is the MTK vcom drivers which you will need and can be found in the Root tutorial posted by Chrizzly a bit further up.
Make sure you read the instructions by rua1 closely and use the images posted as it's not always straight forward.
Last tip pay attention to where MTK tools puts the files it creates, had me stumped for a bit!! I've never been very good at following instructions!!

I managed to boot loop mine while messing with a ROM I made (it's not finished yet) but managed to recover by re-flashing using the Flash Tools a back up I had taken just after installing CWM.
Do you have a back up you can flash?
I have just checked mine and even zipped it's still 800MB so I can't email it to you...
...sure if I looked about I could find somewhere to upload it to for you. PM me if you need this!!
The sd holder broke off, can i buy this http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-list...w?ie=UTF8&condition=new&qid=1379198350&sr=8-1 the galaxy s3 i9300 sd card slot holder and put it on my haipai i9389? or do i need specific haipai i9389 sd card slot holder.
Dear All
I like to think of myself as not a complete idiot, but sometimes things happen
Bricked my Lanovo A820 last week, I rooted it via MTK Droid, rooted perfectly, made back up of previous ROM but that had already been partially rooted. Installed CWM and all was good. Then the next day turned off and on and it was bricked, with message "Tool DL image Fail, uboot is blocking by dl info"
So I tried to install scatter file from previous back up using older version of SP Flash, connected ok, loaded files ok, but on reboot I still get same message.
I can no longer boot into CWM. Phone is picked up by SP Flash but not by MTK Droid anymore.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to get this phone up and running again, or at least to get into CWM.
Any help with this regardless of out come will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Anyone ????
I need Help My Lenovo Yoga tab 3 8 inch (850M) was soft bricked after using superSu me to replace kingsu with SuperSU.
After its finish it was working good until i restarted my device it keeps showing black powered screen with nothing even not the floating home,back bar.
Then i`ve tried to boot into recovery and wipe data and factory reset then i restart my device.
and now it stuck at lenovo logo and not showing anything else.
Then I`ve thought i should download stock rom zip and I`ve already downloaded 2 Stock roms from different sites and i put them into SD card then i have tried to flash it after wiping data but
It also stuck in verifying package data while flashing and i`ve waited about 1 hour with nothing new.
Then I have tried to flash it using ADB update, but it keeps telling cancelled
After all of these trials i thought if i replace the recovery by new recovery it`ll work
but I didn`t find how to access download mode in my tab ( the tab has no hard home button) and i `ve tried booting into download mode using ADB but also failed
Then I found a tool called SP Flash Tool but it needs a scatter loading file which i didn`t find !
I donno what else should I do I need help please

Ok, i have a doogee x5 pro phone and i tried to root it by flashing twrp recovery using sp flash tools. While flashing i got the error "PMT Changed for the rom it must be download". So i did a small research on internet and i found out that i needed to format everything except bootloader. This succeded. So after that i tried to install the firmware with this succeding to. Unfortunately the time i tried to turn phone on it was dead. SP Flash Tools wont detect it anymore. Please help me cause the phone is not mine and its brand new! I can rate my self as moderate android user. :crying:
i think i have a bigger problem... I downloaded a stock rom for doogee max pro(cause i just realised it wasnt just pro it was max pro) and it didnt seem to be recognised again. Any help would be appreciated. I constantly keep trying to raise it from the deads. Thanks!

On mtk devices a preloader is independently installed, it should be almost impossible to destroy, I owned a x5 pro and had best success to flash it with sp flash by taking out the battery, press flash button and plug it in...
The second huge issue I see is when you used the specific flash tool format option you very, very likely killed the nvram partition which contained the imei, so you'll have to fix this too by generating a new one and using mtk engineer mode which is well described and to find on Google..
But let's go step by step. Check without battery, or if it's a non replaceable you'll need find the reset button..
i have tried before without battery and i tried just now but nothing. Its very weird it was detected before and now no in same and another machine. I am pretty confused and stressed. Hope i didnt do any physical damage.. :crying:. THANKS!
starting to get pretty stressed omg! and is there a difference between MT6737M and MT6737?
i came to the point im starting to lose my mind... tried everything i could, i have 5 days left to repair this phone and i dont wanna pay 85 euros for this. SP Flash Tools wont detect the phone. Tried almost 5 different scatter files,2 different PCs and different mtk drivers. Im losing my mind already
UPDATE: I almost fixed it! I had flashed wrong preloader so phone wasn't recognized by SP Flash Tool. I fixed preloaded with a little trick from here: link. After that i flashed stock rom downloaded from doogee.cc but phone will not boot resulting in a total black screen. When i hot Power + Vol Up it takes me to another screen:
Select Boot Mode:
Recovery
Bootloader
Normal
Doesn't matter which boot mode i choose i just get a total black screen which means i get nothing. Idk what is happening! Any further help would be appreciated! I constantly try to bring it back working with little success and small improvements.
Last UPDATE: FIXED my phone had no juice left inside so couldnt complete boot proccess. Now its all good running Btw someone must pin this META trick link i send on my previous post cause im sure more people out there have preloader issues!!! Thank you everyone!!
