Sorry to start a thread on this old device and guessing there may not be anyone who can help me.
I flashed the Lenovo VibeUI ROM from needrom which seemed to work well, but I wanted to go back to stock and used the Ulefone 'onekey flashing tool' which usually worked to go back to the stock ROM. This time there was an error message, so I used SP Flashtool to flash the stock rom.
However the phone appears bricked - no screen, no charging indicator when plugged into the charger or USB on PC, whether latest official V1 or V2 ROM flashed. Not identified by PC as plugged in, but with battery removed, it appears I can 'flash' stock ROM using SP FT or Onekey official flashing software, but it is still 'dead' when battery reinserted.
Even though flashing the ROM with SP Flash Tool and the official Onekey flashing tool appear to flash the ROM to the EMMC, the phone won't even boot to the boot logo. Plugging in the charger doesn't show the charging indicator. I think the issue is with the 'ERROR: NAND flash was not detected!' message when I do a memory test. Not quite sure how this happened.
I thought it was difficult to brick MTK devices, but I seem to have achieved the almost impossible! Does anyone have any idea how I can recover from this bricking? The phone is recognised by SP FT so I hope there is a possibility.
Is there an easy way of solving this as I would like to donate this phone to someone who needs it? Tried lots of 'fixes' from XDA and other sites, but nothing working so far.
Any help/advice greatly appreciated.

I wanted to put a new rom on my Lenovo, so I started here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-a850/general/tutorial-install-cwm-twrp-lenovo-a850-t2642431
I thought making a backup would be wise.
My Baseband model did not have ROW or CN in it, so after trying all four options EN/CN CWM/TWRP options, all failed an my phone would just reboot.
May be my mistake was trying a few more versions of CWM/TWRP, after one of which my Baseband model was gone...
So I decided to just go ahead and install a new rom without a backup. I installed the VCOM drivers (Win 8.1, a bit of hassle) and downloaded: http://www.needrom.com/download/a850-stock-s123-multilanguagegappsroot/
Тhе flashing process went OK (I got the green circle), but after disconnecting my phone and putting the battery back in, it would not start at all. Not even recovery mode.
I tried flashing another rom, but the PC/flash tool would not detect the phone again.
Тhe only sign of life is the red led when I connect the USB to the PC (without battery).
Any help would be appreciated.
P.S.: Also the phone stopped detecting my SIM cards while trying different CWM/TWRP versions.
P.P.S.: I actually was able to get a response from the flash tool by holding power, volume + and volume -, and got: ERROR 4032 : Enable DRAM failed!

Very helpful, thank you...
After trying many different SP Flash Tool versions and ROM, I was actually able to resurrect my Lenovo by doing a Firmware Upgrade with the latest SP Flash Tool (version 5 something) and using a A850i ROM from needrom.com
No issues so far, but I'm basically back where I started from
i think u have flashed a850 4gb version firmware. same thing happen to my phone. but fixed it with a850i firmware.
Good day gents and ladies
Well let me start from the beginning.
I'm was using mi-globe 6.12.22
Last week Friday evening downloaded 7.2.9 mi-globe,read around the mi-globe forum.Didn't see anything funny so flashed via twrp on Saturday morning.Hmmmmmmmm this is when all my problems started.
Basically what I should of done is download 7.2.9,new 3.0.3 twrp for norgat,go into recovery flash new recovery, restart recovery,flash 7.2.9 and then have happy days.But it wasn't to be and now I'm basically sitting with a useless mi4c device.
The device works but warms up and I only get about 4 hours battery life.
If I try boot into recovery I just get black screen.
If I connect device to PC it is not recognized, have tried 3 x different laptop/PC's and different cables.
So fastboot,mi-flash,mi-unlock are all not possible as device is not recognized.
I have been trying different solutions without any success.
I think if it would be possible to root device directly without PC then maybe it will be possible to get flashfire working and I can flash new norgat recovery?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated?
NB.I have tried loading Qualcomm drivers ,google drivers etc etc.no luck can't connect my device too PC,either get device not recognized or the PC doesn't even see the device.Enable USB debugging etc etc nothing works.Been fiddling for 4 days!!!!!!!
Tried to root with kingoroot,framaroot directly on device etc nothing works?
Please help,else device is a nice piece of plastic that holds paper down on my table.lol

Is usb charging via pc working and have you tried miui updater? , This seems weird state you have ... If none working might be tried deep flash cable flashing ... Or go to nearest service center. Hope that help. Best luck.
Hi,yes USB chargers device via PC but that's all.
How does one deep flash,could you post link please?
I bought the device in China about 18 months ago,Xiaomi never sold mi4c in my country so doubt they could help me locally.
Seems I have soft bricked the device?Tried every thing no solution.
If it would possible to root without USB cable I could maybe try flash new twrp via flash fire?Then could wipe all and try start again?

You havent answered the miui updater part, have you tried flash miui rom.zip, using miui updater apps ?
Does fastboot mode boot on your phone ? i mean the bunny sceen showed up ?
For dfc here the link http://xiaomitips.com/guide/miui-deep-flash-engineering-cable-solution-to-non-edl-device/
Please take dfc as last resort. And do research more on this... Do with your own risk. Good luck
Hi,
Yes sorry I have tried updater, I download rom start updater it starts but after about 2 minutes stops and phones shuts down.
I then have to restart phone with long press of power button. It restarts but nothing has changed.
Wrt fastboot it goes into fastboot but this is useless cause no Pc can see my device and if it sees it it sees unknown device, spent countless hours trying different things without any success.
Seems have soft bricked the device, phone works but gets hot and battery life maybe 4 hours if I'm lucky?
Not sure what more today?

Before this has your pc able to use the miflash ? Try to follow this guide to setup it correctly http://en.miui.com/thread-136188-1-1.html ... I follow this guide and the adb n fastboot even works on an old pentium 4, 512mb ram, win xp laptop.
Ps: I think, its only a matter of incorrect driver setup on your side, best luck.
Hi Guys,
I got a Moto Z from US recently(I live in Asia).One day I was charging my phone.I got uncomfortably hot.So I decided to power off my device and when i restarted it,it got stuck on bootloop.I did try factory resetting my phone and then went to Motorola Service Center.Even though it was under warranty they refused to service it because it is from another country(Even though I agreed to pay $300 they were charging for a MoBo replacement.
After any hope of getting the device up and running,I tried to update the device in fastboot mode.I made the mistake of using an older firmware thereby Hardbricking my device
I did manage to get it to back to life by using this file
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...-to-unbrick-moto-z-hardbricked-t3590133/page2
(post#18)
Step 1: If your PC detect the phone as QUSB_BULK device, install the drivers provided. If it detects it as qualcomm device 9008 or something, then move directly to step 2.
(If your PC is not detecting your phone then try removing the battery and then plugging it back on. Connect to the PC and press the power+volume down button for 2 minutes. Keep trying this this with different USB ports until the PC detects it.)
Step 2: Now extract the blank flash file and run the 'blank-flash.bat' file. Your phone should boot into fastboot now.
Step 3: Now you can flash your stock ROM or any custom ROM. I suggest you flash TWRP and boot into recovery and flash a custom ROM first. And then flash the Stock ROM later if you want to because flashing stock rom is very tricky in Moto devices and you can end up screwing your device even more during the hardbrick phase.(thanks to:manish54 ,benzinerwin)
Then I started to update the stock ROM.But it wont take any gpt.bin(GUID Partition Table) files.
(error)Preflash Validation failed
Without GPT I cant update anything at all.If anyone can help that would be great.
Good day. I have made COUNTLESS efforts, methods, ways to unbrick my Hard Bricked
"ALMOST DEAD"?? Phone. I've watched so many vids on YTube and read alot in this forum
Here's some of the details of what i've been through.. Please help Me.. and thanks in advance..
PLEASE PLEASE.. Finish reading my thread.. I also provide some screenshot for reference of what happened..
THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE.. MORE POWER..
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)

still not charging. (NO LOGO) (NO VIBRATION)
3. I fully charged my (REMOVABLE BATTERY) using UNIVERSAL CHARGER.
4. I even bought new battery (SAME MODEL)
5. No luck.
Here's what happened (BEFORE BRICK)
1. My Phone (FIREFLY INTENSE XL) hanged then suddenly turned off.
2. I switched it on. It started well.
3. After few seconds, it restarted.
4. Now, stuck at logo.
5. I've waited for many hours. Still stuck at logo.
6. GOOGLED how to FACTORY RESET.
7. Had some luck? I was able to boot at FACTORY OPTIONS
(Chinese Text)
8. I GOOGLED again what's this chinese character/text means.
9. I GOOGLED how to FACTORY RESET.
10. Now, i chosed the option that has **EMMC text on it.
11. I Reboot the phone. STILL-Stock at logo.

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)

*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.

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..

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
Hi, I tried to flash LineageOs to a Cubot King Kong Mini using this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/installing-custom-rom-cubot-kingkong-t4050815
I had to flash recovery_TWRP.img, lk_patched.img and vbmeta.img in order to avoid orange and red states, but I couldn't be able to run LineageOs.
Then I flashed stock rom, and the phone worked ok for a couple of hours. Then I realized that I didn't lock the bootloader, and after running the command "fastboot flashing lock" the screen went to black and buttons didn't respond.
The threat mentioned at the begining of this post, says that waitting for battery discharge will bring phone back to life again, but my battery didn't discharge for 11 days, so finally I disassembled my phone, I removed battery with the hope of getting same result as running out battery, but the problem still persist.
There is any way to solve this problem?
Finally I could bring it to live flashing stock rom with SP Flash Tool, both files downloaded from here:https://www.cubot.net/index.php/platform/Support/detail/id/311/cid/8.html (I suggest you to download the instructions posted in that site)
At first, I tried it in linux (with SP Flash Tools downloaded from another site), the last version of SP Tools didn't recognize the MT6761_Android_scatter.txt, and v5.18 recognized it, but flash process was stuck at 0%.
Then I tryed at win 10 with downloaded files from cubot website and it worked (no VCOM drivers need to be installed)
My battery was empty, but after flashing I had to wait arround 2 minutes while usb wire was connected to phone, to see the empty battery icon.
After that, I could turn on my phone.
Thanks,

Finally I could bring it to live flashing stock rom with SP Flash Tool, both files downloaded from here:https://www.cubot.net/index.php/platform/Support/detail/id/311/cid/8.html (I suggest you to download the instructions posted in that site)
At first, I tried it in linux (with SP Flash Tools downloaded from another site), the last version of SP Tools didn't recognize the MT6761_Android_scatter.txt, and v5.18 recognized it, but flash process was stuck at 0%.
Then I tryed at win 10 with downloaded files from cubot website and it worked (no VCOM drivers need to be installed)
My battery was empty, but after flashing I had to wait arround 2 minutes while usb wire was connected to phone, to see the empty battery icon.
After that, I could turn on my phone.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well, I removed the battery and the kkm2 is up and running again. thanks.
