I have managed to revive my "black screen, constantly restart" Nokia 3 (TA-1032). Actually the hard part is to find the correct firmware and DA file. So this will mostly be a resource sharing post than a fully guide.
Things needed:
Firmware (Source)
SP Flash Tool
Download Agent (Source)
nbo unpack script
Latest Python 3 (If you are using a Linux distro, it is most likely to be preinstalled).
Note that Python 3 means Python 3.x(.y), not Python 3.0.
If you are using Windows 7, you can only use Python < 3.9.
Steps:
Download (and install) SP flash tool (5.x).
Download firmware, the download agent and the script.
Extract the downloaded firmware
Install Python 3 if you haven't. Run the script with the downloaded firmware (.nb0) path as the argument. It will extract the files.
Run SP flash tool (with root/admin privilege).
In the Download tab: Select the "Download Agent" as the downloaded "Download Agent" file from the above link. Select the "Scatter-loading file" as the scatter file from the extracted firmware. And select "Download Only" mode. ("Authenication File" can be left empty). Just let it be the default (all boxes checked, even preloader).
Plug the phone into the computer and click "Download". If the tool just stucks at 0%, or any error occurs that prevent the flash from starting, press and hold both the POWER and VOL UP button on the phone for about 10 secs, and it will be restarted. The click "Download" again (try it again if the error still occurs).
After done with flashing (green tick), close the program and disconnect the phone from the computer. Wait for about 2 mins (idk if it is necessary) then hold POWER to start the phone. Then wait for a long boot ("NOKIA" logo).
Now you have unbricked you phone. Enjoy

I'm assuming you are using Windows.
First, download Python 3 from here, then open the downloaded file to install Python.
While installing, if you see a checkbox that say "Add to PATH", check it. Then proceed to complete your installation.
After installing, download the "nb0 unpack script" to the same folder/directory as the firmware file (.nb0).
In that folder/directory, hold Shift and right-click on the file explorer, then click "Open powershell window here" or "Open command window here" (example).
Then type this into the command window (if you have changed the files' name, you also have to change them in the command)
Code:
python nb0-unpack.py NE1-215H-0-00WW-B02.nb0

You didn't select the "Download-Agent" as the Download Agent file from the link on my post. You are using the default Download Agent file of SP Flash Tool. You may also want to download the latest version of SP Flash Tool.

Yes, you right, because the SP tool don't accept that. Here is a pic about that:
I downloaded the latest SP tool from the link above here in your post.

Can you try placing the files to a "legacy-compatible" directory (no spaces, only ASCII characters (like a password)). For example, try placing the files (download agent, firmware, SP Flash Tool) in "C:\phone\nokia3\".
Yes, I relocated as you writed down, and now the download agent is accepted (that one which you linked here above), in an earlier version from the Flashtool, not the latest one. Flashing still need authorization file somehow. ( I tried to flash a rom with Authorization file needed, probably that going to be the reason. Originally I wanted to downgrade my Nokia 3 TA-1032)

If you have done the steps exactly as in my instruction and it still fail, then I can't help you anymore. Your phone may be in a different state than mine.
I have successfully unbricked my Nokia 3 (in a constantly restart cycle) on Arch Linux (I don't use Windows). If you want to give it a try, and if you are used to Windows User Interface, I recommend Linux Mint Cinnamon (Ubuntu is another popular choice, but its User Interface is very different from Windows, and Arch Linux is not easy to install if you are not used to command line interface and have some Linux knowledge).

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, BROTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It worked!!
Now just have my story..... Actually, this was my friend's Nokia 3 which he gave me to root and I convinced him that I would root it and convinced him that there was no risk in it. Then I rooted the device for him very hardly but then I mistakenly deleted the os of the phone and then I searched the whole internet and found your post.... First of all, I got many errors while unpacking the nb0 file as I was using python 3.0, so I downloaded the python 3.8 installer but it wouldn't install because it was saying that that Service pack 1 was not installed in my Windows 7 but it was, hence I got very irritated and observed the log file and downloaded an update (KB3033929). Then I installed python 3.8 and thus I come to have a working mobile! I again rooted it and gave it to my friend and told him about these happenings.
Once again thank you very much!!! You saved my respect!!
Install Python 3 if you haven't. Run the script with the downloaded firmware (.nb0) path as the argument. how can download scripte ?

How to Root and install CWM
I'm also using Cherry Mobile amethyst and i already rooted and installed CWM recovery. I'm going to teach u how to do that. but i used the ROM Manager Pro to go to the Recovery Mode.
1. You have to Root your android phone using Framaroot (Latest version) and you have to download and install the ROM Manager Pro.
Note: Warranty Void
http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/framaroot/root-framaroot-one-click-apk-to-root-t2130276 from: alephzain
- Just click the word "Barahir" and wait for the confirmation successfully rooted and reboot your phone.
2. After That, You need to Download the "MTK Droid Tools" , "SP Flash Tools" and MTK Driver. (Search the net for Download)
-install the MTK Driver, Wait for the automatic detection of the device and Click manual install then go to downloaded drivers.
3.Open MTK Droid Tools, then wait to process the Phone Information. You have to Click the "BLOCKS MAP" and after the other window Pop-up with Block Info, Click "SCATTER FILE". This File should be save because it is very important for your device with the name "MT6572_Android_scatter_emmc.txt". Do not Close the MTK Droid Tool.
4. Open the SP Flash Tool, Click "Scatter-Loading" and search the file that you saved earlier with the name "MT6572_Android_scatter_emmc.txt" and Go to "READ BACK TAB". Click "ADD" and the file added at the bottom and Click the File and save it as "ROM_0". You should turn off your Phone. Then Connect it to USB Cable, Unplug the battery first then Click the "Read back Button" and Plug the battery to detect the device and this will be done successfully. You do have "ROM_0" File. DOnt Close SP Flash Tool.
5. Go back to MTK Droid Tools, you can now backup you phone first.Go to "root, backup, recovery" tab, Click "To Process File ROM_* from flash Tool" and select the "ROM_0" you saved earlier. Wait for the task to complete, When the message box appear "Do you want cwm automatically installed", just click "YES".
(Do it with your own Risk, Note: I am not responsible for any Damage, Lost of your data, The Process of flashing will reset your phone into factory reset or it can brick your phone when the procedure is wrong.)
6. After that you can re-flash your stock ROM.Go to SP Flash Tool Again, Then Click Again the "Scatter-Loading" and go to the MTK Droid Tool" Folder named "backup", you will see the backup file you saved a while ago when you process the "ROM_0" File. Open The Folder with the name "S610_******_backup" or "S610_******_ForFlashtoolFromReadBack", you will see the file "MT6572_Android_scatter_emmc.txt" again". after that, all the IMAGE File from your phone will appear on the bottom of SP Flash Tool, Look the name "recovery", if it has File Location, Just chage it, go to "MTK Droid Tool" Folder then open "recovery" folder, you will see the file named "S610_******__recovery_140423-203622.img" and rename it to "recovery.img".
7.Just Click the "Download" button and Unplug and Plug your battery again to detect the Phone. wait it until it done.

Hi all i have new Lenovo PB1 770m I attempted to root it the TWRP was installed but it was not rooted
then I tried to update the firmware to the latest 151111 and no go, in the end i managed to delete the operating system so now I can boot to recovery mode only, When I try to restart it comes up with No OS Installed, I have tried to install xposed v79 sdk21 arm64zip no go, Ok now I know that I am an IDIOT for
not making a backup of original system and not cheking the firmware was the same as the root guide,
On the top of recovery screen is :- 2.8.7.7 SevenMaxs and TeamWin Recovery Project, I guess this could
be an expensive lesson, I have been looking for an original ROM with no luck so any help would be very
much appreciated, Thanks pluto1956, Mike
ps used info and files from here to try and root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/andr...oting-t3290347

Well i did it. Is really simple but it seems nobody has this problem before. You need
- Download Stock Firmware from russian lenovo site
- The Tool i used is QPST_2.7.422 QFIL it cames with the Drivers (i used Win8.1)
- Put phone in Download mode (press vol up and down same time and connect phone to PC)
- Open QFIL program and select flat build
- In select programmer you select prog_emmc_firehose_8936.mbm
- In load xml i selected rawprogram_unsparse and path0
- After that you click download and wait like 4 min and when say finish succesfully you start phone manually
I hope this helps.
Thanks brother, yesterday i downloaded one russian rom in zip format and there was a .bat file included in it. i only double clicked and it flashed through adb and fastboot and it was successfull. i got the operating system 5.0.2 but WLAN is not working, tried flashing several time but no luck. i learned that it is still under warranty ..so sent it to warranty. in a week it will be back with be for testing again hopefully.
well i will try your method as soon as i get my beast again. Thank you so much for helping out in timely manner, really appreciate it brother.

it is very easy my friend just look into the only topic/thread about Phab plus in xda. it will guide you well.
if you get any error in recovery like footer is wrong/signature verification failed. connect your phone and first check if your device in being tracked by adb. use adb devices.
if your device appear in the list of devices ..use fastboot oem unlock then flash sevenmax twrp again after entering into temporary twrp as per phab plus thread.

Could you please elucidate more? I downloaded the ROM and the flash program. However, I've no clue how to get going. I don't even see the xml files anywhere (as mentioned by you).
Just don't want to screw it up bad so being little more cautious.

My phone was wiped by me . I have TWRP and my phone is read as ADB interface (when in recovery mode). I tried adb devices and it returned 1f82f24b recovery. I also can access my phone memory from PC when in TWRP recovery which enables me to transfer files.
My problem is it is only read as ADB interface not as Qualcom COM port device. When I try Download_with_partition.cmd I get the error that it can not distinguish devices and to try. Any solution by those managed to install it successfully?
For everyone landing in this page due to wiping his OS of Lenovo Phab Plus by mistake (like I did), please refer to this thread:
Lenovo Phab Plus PB1-770M Stock ROM needed

Successfully rooted Simbans 10" Excello Tab using Magisk Manager & SP Flash Tool
Rooting the Simbans 10' Excello Tab. Please note the usual warnings before you attempt rooting an Android device. You're probably voiding your warranty. You risk bricking your device. Neither I, nor the website where you found my words, assumes responsibility for your actions
I bought a 10" Simbans Excello Tab running Android Pie (9) for $130 USD in March 2020. I've rooted all of the ~20 Android devices I've owned. It seemed to me that $130 was a bargain price, but rooting it would be difficult. I found no reports of other owners successfully rooting the Excello Tab. I couldn't even find the OEM firmware for it on the mfr website, so I emailed them on the 4th of July asking for the firmware.
At my request, Simbans added the Excello firmware to its website (https://www.simbans.com/restore.html) on 5 July 2020, along with an SP flash tool, and both PDF and video flashing instructions. Prior to my request, Simbans only listed firmware for its Tango and Picasso tablets. N.B. Although I refer to the Excello firmware by different names, it's ExcelloTab 9.0 Base V1.rar on the official Simbans download site. Similarly, what I call the SP Flash Tool is the Reinstall Tool for Android 9.zip on Simbans' website.
The SP flash tool was a clue to how to root the Excello. SP flash tool is for flashing firmware onto Mediatek chips, which are used in several different phone and tablet brands, including the Excello Tab.
PREPARE YOUR PC. Download the Excello firmware rar file, SP Flash Tools zip, and Extract your SP Flash Tools zip file into a folder, and the Excello firmware rar file into another folder. Although most of you will be using Windows, n.b. there are Linux versions of the SP Flash Tool, and the 64 bit Linux version saved me from a hard brick situation. While you're doing that, download the Windows 10 MTK VCOM USB preloader drivers for your desktop computer.. Thoroughly vet your Windows drivers, following online guides. When you connect your powered off Excello Tab to your PC with SP Flash Tool running, you want to see the VCOM driver recognized (check with Device Manager). When you connect it with MTK Droid and Root Tool (which doesn't support Android >4.5) running, you want to see a different MTK USB driver recognized.
PREPARE YOUR EXCELLO TAB. Enable Developer Options and turn USB debugging on. You do not need to unlock the bootloader (so leave OEM unlocking off in Developer Options) to root the Excello Tab. Download and install root checker and Magisk Manager apps onto your Excello Tab.
In order to root the Excello, you need to hack the Excello's boot.img boot partition. But, we didn't get that file in the Excello firmware archive from Simbans. We will have to capture the Excello's boot partition. We do it by reading back the boot.img partition from RAM. There doesn't appear to be a simple boot.img file loaded onto the Excello. It'builds the boot partition from other files, like a boot-sign.img file.
Change the SP Flash Tool to allow capturing partitions, like the boot.img boot partition. Go to your SP Flash Tools folder, and edit the option.ini file in the SP Flash Tools archive. It's a text file, so use a text editor like Windows' Notepad or Ubuntu's Gedit. Find the [ReadBack] section of the file, and change ShowByScatter=false to ShowByScatter=true. Save your changes.
Run the SP Flash Tool as administrator by running the (Windows) flash_tool.exe with shift-right click on the file, or (Linux) sudo ./flash_tool.sh program. Set it up by selecting the Download tab near the top of the window. Choose your Download agent from the extracted firmware folder. Use the MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin choice. The correct Scatter-loading file for our Excello Tabs is the MT8163_Android_scatter.txt file. If you placed all of the extracted files from your Excello firmware rar file in the same location as the scatter file, the SP Flash tool will populate the fields for boot, recovery, etc. Correct any errors now, before you try to flash or use something that's so out of place that it bricks your device. You can click on any erroneous files and correct their path or name.
When you're ready to capture/readback your boot partition, select the Readback tab, and select only the boot partition. Make sure your Excello Tab is powered down and unplugged from the computer that's running the SP FLash tool. Choose the Read Back action. The tool will wait for you to connect your device. Hold the Volume Down button on your Excello Tab, connect the device, and release the volume down button when the red bar appears at the bottom of the tool window. The boot partition gets written as ROM_10 in your SP Flash tool folder. The boot partition will differ on different MT chip architectures, and different partitions. If your next action was to readback your Excello's (MT8163's) recovery partition, it would be saved as ROM_11, and so on.
If the readback succeeds, a green check mark icon appears on the tool screen, and your boot partition has been captured in a 10.8 MB ROM_10 file located in the SP Flash Tool folder..
Disconnect your Excello, power it up, copy the ROM_10 file to your Excello in a location you will remember, and rename it boot.img. I put mine in my Excello's internal memory's Downloads folder.
Run the Magisk Manager app on your Excello, It will tell you Magisk is not up to date. Click the INSTALL choice, confirm with yes, and choose Select and Patch a file as your method, Navigate to your just-saved boot.img file, and let Magisk do its thing. When it finishes, you will have a rooting magisk_patched.img to replace your stock boot.img. Copy the magisk_patched.img to your Excello firmware folder.
Before you flash your modified boot.img file (magisk_patched.img) to root your Excello, you have to modify your MT8163_Android_scatter.txt file (it's in your firmware folder) to only flash up to and including the boot partition. Load that scatter file in your text editor, and find the partition_name: boot. For the MT8163 chip, it's in the section starting with partition_index: SYS10. As you read about partition_index SYS10, you realize that SYS10 is where ROM_10 gets its name from. Different MT chips have different architectures. An MT6753 chip's boot partition will be in SYS8. After you've deleted all the sections following our 8163's SYS10, save the modded file with another name, like MT8163_Android_scatteredmoddedBOOTONLY.txt.
To root your Excello Tab, run the SP Flash Tool as administrator. Change the scatter file to the one you just modified. Choose the Download tab. The scatter file should only give you the boot partition as a familiar target. Check that partition, and select the magisk_patched.img. Power down your Excelo. Press the Download action on the SP Flash Tool. Hold the Excello's Volume Down button and connect the Excello to your PC running the SP Flash Tool. Release the button when the red bar appears on the flash tool. When the flashing completes with a green check mark icon, unplug the Excello. Boot it up, run Magisk Manager and your root checker. You should have a rooted tablet.
At one point, I hard bricked my Excello. It was my fault, but my Excello wouldn't respond to its power button There was an apparent Windows driver problem, as my Excello Tab wasn't recognized by my Windows PC when bricked, so the SP flash tool errored out with an unrecognized device. Luckily, there's a 64 bit Linux version of the SP Flash tool, and the Linux kernel read the MediaTec chip, allowing the Linux version of the SP flash tool to successfully flash the OEM firmware to unbrick the Excello, readback/create the boot.img, and flash the Magisk_patched.img to root the Excello Tab tablet.
If any of these instructions are confusing or contradictory, ask for clarification before you turn your beautiful $130 10" bargain tablet into the most expensive paperweight you ever bought.
i did all the steps up to the readback part it gives me error i try to readback the boot part and that i have done so far to the tablet

Hey man, awesome work here. I am trying this myself but I am having trouble going through the part I quoted above. Can you help clarify this? Thanks in advance!
I'm sorry, guys, for not checking in more often. I dropped my Excello and cracked its screen some time ago.
Anyway, I found my old working directory for my rooting Excello project, and attached a couple of screen captures to show you what the OEM scatter.txt file looks like. I used Ubuntu's gedit to open/edit the file. The old CTRL-F command opened up a search box, which found SYS10 around line 179. Chop the file after the SYS10 section/discussion, after line 192, and save the altered file as discussed. See the second screen capture file.
