Bricked Ulefone Armor 8 Pro - General Questions and Answers

Hi everyone, I tried to flash a patched Magisk boot image on my Ulefone Armor 8 Pro via fastboot but the device is now stuck in bootloop. I have already read some threads about trying to flash the stock firmware using the proprietary SP Flash Tool, but the phone doesn't remain in download mode for more than a few seconds. I can't even boot in recovery/fastboot mode again to try to flash the stock boot image since the phone just keeps rebooting. If someone could give me a hint it would be really appreciated.

You need write the model of device.
Currently I know of 3 models: 4GB RAM(Armor 8); 6&8GB RAM(Armor 8 Pro).
So with the correct stock ROM you can flash the device.
To use SPFT you need to specify which OS you have: Linux; Win7_8_10; other
This is to know if you actually installed the USB MTK drivers correctly and if further action is needed.
Also, write if you have the device with the bootloader locked or unlocked.
I have the 6GB RAM and have downloaded a time ago the GQ3090RH3_KSX70H_Ulefone_20210902_V01(Non-EU).zip file aka stock ROM. That's aka Non_EEA model. In the Ulefone site have SP_MDT_exe_v3.2048.02.00(Client).zip aka flash tool.
You used that tool?

Thanks for the reply. I have the model with 6GB of RAM as well and I am currently trying to recover my phone by using Windows 11 in a virtual machine. The bootloader is unlocked and I tried to flash the EU version of the stock ROM (GQ3090RH3_KSX70H_Ulefone_EEA_20210902_V01(EU).zip) by using SP_MDT_exe_v3.2048.02.00(Client).zip (after installing the required drivers), but as I have already specified I can't boot in download mode for more than a few seconds. My computer recognises the device as "MediaTek MT65xx Preloader" but the phone immediately reboots and I am not able to flash the stock ROM.

Win11 is not good to use SP tool.
Maybe using Win10?!
"MediaTek MT65xx Preloader" is normal but need installing drivers correctly. You can try this: Driver_Auto_Installer_EXE_v5.1632.00.zip - 8.8MB
Reboot VM and try with the device turned off!
For using SPFT or SP_MDT your device not need in the bootloader mode. Device turned off - conect USB - look about USB PORT COM - Scan - Start All
If you not know how to do so Read Upgrade software guide for factory assembly line.pdf
Here file and more about: Upgrade tools and USB driver - Armor 8 Pro
___________________________
UP: Maybe SP need more than you know.
I used the SPFT and worked good to me with Win10.
May be SPFT can help more than SP: SP_Flash_Tool_v5.2124_Win
For using SPFT your device not need in the bootloader mode. Device turned off - open sxcatter file - look for Download Only option (NOT use FORMAT+....!!!!) - now with the device turned off conect USB - press DOWNLOAD (Ctrl + D).

Well, you saved my phone. Thanks for the help, I really appreciate that. I installed Windows 10 and the drivers you linked me and via SP Flash Tool I managed to flash the stock ROM after connecting the device with a USB cable. Thanks again.

How do I get this phone into download mode? Cannot seem to get it to flash

I've followed your tips but I cannot get the phone recognized by the flash tool.
I've collected full details here: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/248035/bootloop-in-ulefone-armor-8-pro

Can SPFT be used with Linux?

How to root elephone P6000?

So I'm using Elephone P6000 (Aka Just5 Blaster2 as named in Latvia).
I searched many places couldn't find anything.
Tried to open bootloader via fastboot but "fastboot oem unlock" or "fastboot flashing unlock" doesn't work and shows me error
"FAILED (Remote: Unknown command)" But the second option was mentioned on help. Also I didn' t found oem unlock option in dev options.
So post any ways how to root.
Ps My android version is 5.0
Just install SuperSU from Play Store and let it update binary. The phone i factory bootloader unlocked and prerooted.
It can't download su binary because of android 5
It has nothing to do with lollipop, how do you try to do that?
nlooooo said:

It shows: There is no su binary and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!
If you just installed android 5 you have to re root.
It said something like that.
Ok, I didn't have that problem.
Have you tried with Kingroot.

Yes, I tried every app. Can't you tell how to do it manually or at least help me with the problem I can; t flash custom recovery.
It shows that I have flashed it but I still have old stock recovery. I used fastboot.
Use SP Flash Tools to flash custom recovery. You can find TWRP recovery on needrom site, and you have a lot of tutorials how to use SP Flash Tools.
It doesn't work. I turned phone off and on and still just stands still and does nothing.
In which mode I have to turn phone on?
I used stock ROM text and carliv recovery to flash.
To use Flash Tool you need to turn of the phone, remove the battery, press download button in tool and then connect your phone, not turning it on. I got an error trying to flash recovery with Flash Tool, but it's not a real error, phone simply disconnected from PC before it checks if the flash was successful.
Nothings happens Just shows "Super Phone flash tool(Runtime trace mode).
I did everything I need, connected via usb with no battery in phone.
I have phone normal and adb drivers. Meh.
Have you even red some tutorial how to use SP Flash Tool?
Try with tool and tutorial from here:
http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-1037-1-1.html#.Vryb6fIrK01
As I told you, you need to start Flash tool, select rom to flash (scatter file), in your case to deselect all partitions, select custom recovery, click on download and then to connect phone to PC. It's all written in tutorial, all you need is to read.
I have the same problem,this phone seems to be unrootable and without the possibility to flash a costum recovery,help me please,MMI TEST on the device appears everytime I reboot phone and I launch an app so I want costum recovery to manually root and remove this system app,HELP PLEASE.
Custom recovery flashing and rooting your phone are advanced user activities, if you can't learn how to use SP Flash Tool you shouldn't try to do it.

For Win 8-10 you need to disable driver signature verification.

A. Meizu phone uses the new mt67xx which is not supported by MTK droid tool causing problems for users to obtain the scatter file, and also the locked bootloader leading the users not being able to recover the devices the traditionally using fastboot.​Q. I have a m3 note can i use this method?
A. Yes if anyone gets there hands on the mt6755 scatter file for meizu. But if not No​Q. HELP ME IT'S NOT WORKING!!!

Any display? or just black?
What rom did you install? If official you might be able to get a replacement through warranty.
Try SP Flash Tools, instruction in the first post. Chances are low but test if it detects after pressing download.

The error shows when your device started before the software can flash anything. SP flash tools works with locked bootloader, maybe your preloader is 100% dead

Hi,
SPFlashtools fails to connect dead bricked Meizu M3S
Connecting to USB system recognizes as
MediaTek DA USB VCOM Port (COM7)
But other ports including Preloader are not
Do I have any hope to recover phone?
After following these steps, one by one, no matter if all went OK, my phone (m3s) won’t boot and it seems it is completely dead now. It can’t turn on. Power button looks unresponsive. What should I do? Is there any help?
many thanks for this guide @bluecub1st . The problem I have with my M3s is that it boots perfectly fine and works well, i just cannot enter recovery by using Volume + and power, and flashing a new firmware from inside Flyme OS just reboots the phone. I can enter fastboot though no problem, but i tried to do the SP Flash tool method listed and I just get this error message:
ERROR : S_TIMEOUT (0x412)
Any ideas how to fix this and get my recovery back? Really need some help so i can flash flyme 6...
i got error from sp_flashtool

Hi There, Can someone PLZ help me setting up OPPO PRELOADER Drivers correctly. Everytime i try to use miracle thunder i get the following log:
Waiting for USB Port...
Set USB Serial Device (COM9)
Connecting to Phone,Wait..
Connected to Phone.
CPU: MT6771 SW:0000 Ver: CA00
>>Downloading Boot8 ...
and it remains on here forever.
Actually oppo preloader shows for some time in pc and after that it goes away and hence it is not letting the miracle thunder work properly (i guess)
when my phone was working (booting in coloros 6, then also oppo preloader was doing the same thing and after a few seconds my battery would start charging), now i can't see anything on screen as it's bricked now.
Preloader doesn't even work with SP Flash Tools also.
EDIT : I have tried almost everything i knew, drivers manager add legacy option etc.
If someone could help me get out of this problem, i would really be grateful.

Which recovery are you in? Is it Stock or Custom?
If u have stock first wipe data and then flash boot.img or ozip file (stock ROM).
If u have custom recovery then you need to flash stock recovery + stock ROM.

Yes. Do remember you need both fastboot and recovery to be working, so you can flash Stock Recovery (only if you have TWRP installed).
If you have stock recovery installed then download stock rom from official Realme site and place it in the Sdcard (otg wont help). Enter into recovery and update/install the ozip.
If your phone is completely dead then above method wont help and you have to follow another one.
Note: If your device is rooted then installing (from stock recovery) stock rom fails. At this time flash TWRP from fastboot then flash zip file (convert stock rom from ozip to zip).

Download stock recovery.
Enter fastboot mode using Power + Volume Down. If that does not work use other combinations.
Now flash stock recovery.
Enter recovery using
Code:
fastboot oem reboot-recovery
Install ozip.

Which one of these should I use?

Bricked & cannot unbrick!

Dear XDA,
Please read before hitting me with the "use the search function"
I've been at it for two days now, trying to unbrick my Nebula Blue EU GM1913. It was stock on latest OOS, and I wanted to root it. I unlocked kernel, and upon flashing twrp I got stuck in fastboot mode. The phone currently can only enter EDL mode and Fastboot mode, nothing else.
What I have tried:
- 2 different laptops, plethora of cables, and every port in each laptop. I've even formatted both laptops so there's no driver clashes, and still keep getting the same errors.
- Different MSMtools: every tool I try gives me the following error 'Param Preload - Device not match image.'
- Fastboot roms via op7 pro All in one tool: I keep getting errors with those too, some files missing. Tried both EU and GLOBAL roms.
I dont know what else to do anymore.. the phone does get to fastboot, but I cannot go beyond this point. Any help is welcome!

Are you running MSMtools with admin privileges?
Of course you know by now that you shouldn't flash TWRP on these phones. I can't help you with a stock recovery image since I have a different model, but you might be able to get one somewhere else. Alternately, I've had luck with Lineage recovery (albeit on that different model: https://download.lineageos.org/guacamole )
Have you tried these unbrick instructions? https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ide-for-a-hard-bricked-oneplus-7-pro.3934659/
When you try to flash a fastboot custom ROM, are you flashing in fastboot or fastbootd? See the ROM install instructions. Also, most of them suggest using platform tools rather than an op7 pro all in one tool.
And in reference to the "device does not match image" error: are you sure you have the latest Qualcomm drivers and that your phone is in EDL mode? It does switch to charging mode after something like 10 second of inactivity.

Can a "Hard-bricked" android phone be restored if there's still access to Download mode?

I accidentally installed the wrong ROM on my phone, and now it's unresponsive (nothing happens when I try to turn it on, not even a vibration)
But I managed to access Download Mode (aka EDL, right?).
Can I restore it if I have the Scatter file and the Stock ROM?
Thanks in advance
MediaTek devices have preloader mode, EDL mode is for Qualcomm
Not sure what device you're talking about, but try to look for an "unbrick tool" or an "unbrick guide"
I "semi hard-bricked" my OnePlus 3T a while ago, and there was this leaked Qualcomm tool that you could use to flash the factory ROM the phone came with from Download Mode.

Does the fact that I can communicate and flash via Download Mode (SP Flash Tool) mean that I didn't lose my preloader? I'm kinda stuck trying to flash the Stock ROM (demanding verified image files, even though I'm using the original firmware for flashing... probably)

I'll check the guides online, hopefully I'll find one that'll help.

I've also had issues previously with trying to flash stock images on Samsung phones. Not sure if you have country-specific images, if you do, try giving all of them a shot. I'm from Hungary, and a locally bought Samsung phone only came to life after flashing a Spanish factory image.
you need to (by)pass SLA/DAA authentication
Now I managed to bypass protection, and got the successful flash message from SP Flash Tool.
But I still can't solve the issue (Phone still only responsive from BROM)
For reference I'm using the global version of RMX3171 (Realme Narzo 30A) based on MT6768, and the Stock ROM is available online.
I flashed every partition (Provided in the Stock ROM), and Now it is booting, showing the logo + a message "Download not completed Error Code 0x992566 " and then it reboots after a minute or so -_-
I think that means you did not flash all partitions (some not included in Download)
In the other thread someone mentioned "Format All + Download" very bad idea never do this.
did you try unlocking bootloader from mtkclient like suggested in that thread?

Hello,
Can someone share their nvdata & nvram + oppo_custom?
I seem to have formatted mine, and need them to recover my Narzo 30A.

I came across the tool, but I failed to enter into Meta Mode.
I'm trying to make my phone boot to the system, then I'll try restoring my IMEI's using MTK Engineering app.
Thanks for links though

There is no such thing as a "hard bricked" device that can still boot into TWRP. A hard bricked device is completely dead and shows no kind of activity or function. It won't charge, it won't boot into any kind of mode and can't make a connection to PC, makes no sound when connecting to PC and it won't appear in device manager when connected to PC.
A device that can boot into download mode but not its other modes is just a softbricked device.
