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

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.

I tried it but it didn't work. twrp is installed but my phone doesn't boot into the system anymore. When I reboot it goes back to Twrp and then the touchscreen doesn't work anymore. I have to connect an USB-mouse. But it still doesn't boot.
When I try to flash or wipe sth it says "unable to mount"
I had to flash the original software again with SP Flash Tools
No flash No verity encrypt to Disable boot verification

where is the scatter file?

no Scatter included use Fastboot, or You can take scatter from ROM.
Ok but where is the recovery image file to flash via SP Flash Tools? I only see an exe-file saying "flash recovery" and a 12.6MB file called "rk" but it's shown me as a mp4-file
it worked!!! Thank yoU!! @gasperoni, just start "Flash Recovery.exe" and do what is written in the window. It's really easy.
i have include a Script which have ability to unlock bootloader and then flash twrp, if you flash with SP flash tool your Device not bootup because bootloader is Loacked. so Simply use Given Instruction Not SP flash.
any custom ROM
non yet
hm..i install twrp with your "flash recovery.exe", my phone reboots, i have to press "volume up" to unlock my bootloader. then trwp starts.
until here everything works fine. But when i am installing Superuser and restart my phone, it writes sth like "orange mode, your phone is untrusted" and just boots into twrp, touchscreen isnt working. So i have to flash it again, but i didnt achieve twrp of course :S

Same result here. But how did you get the factory rom to flash on the phone? I first got some checksum error and had to find a checksum generator and now the silly multiport flash software says:
" Warning maybe error as follows: 1 com port number repetitive or invalid 2 brom and preloader have the same comport number! Please modify them in INI file or scan again."
I think i did everything correctly (installed the drivers and stuff as it says on the ulefone download page) but i haven't flashed any mediatek devices in a long time and i would be very thankful if someone can tell me what i'm doing wrong. I don't mind it getting bricked as i know that is always a risk with mediatek, but i do need to be able to flash the stock rom.

I had also issues using the flash tool provided on the Ulefone website, the same as you say (with the checksum). None of checksum-generating software worked for me, so I was searching long for an alternative and found this flash tool: https://spflashtool.com/. Using this tool, flashing worked for me perfectly even without having to bother with checksums.
Good luck!

Thank you very much for this! That tool works flawlessly unlike the ulefone garbage.
On another note... anyone know if there is source code for the power 2 to be found somewhere or did the dev just port another recovery somehow? I tried a while back just porting twrp by swapping files but i couldn't get the image to repack with the kitchen tool so i gave up.

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.
Brick Reason : Flashed TWRP but used fastboot command to boot into that : (

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).

Bootloop, only fastboot and EDL mode no system boot please help Axon 10 Pro

hi Guys
I'm in the forum for a very long time as an assistant helper now it has got me hard I have an Axon 10 Pro with curly boot loader and trying to flash a TWRP I have somehow the device or SotA and SlotB have shrunk. The Axon Bootet permanently in 0.5 second cycle and also a FULL Restot or FULL Flash with EDL Tool has not changed anything. Likewise, a new flash about fastboot with the command (fastboot flash boot_a boot.img) the same for boot_b then try with fastboot command (fastboot boot twrp.img) Recovery to start without success fastboot erase boot_a and boot_b has also flashing new but it does not start. Always bootloop:crying::crying::crying::crying:
the Axon 10 pro is back because he had no backup of all we had from my Axon 10 pro made a backup with the edl tool (Backup all) and have then copied his efs backup purely and then this with then on the Axon 10 flashed the Axon 10 pro is now back
Where did you get the twrp from?

I had a bootloop issue as well and even though I reflashed using the EDL tool, it doesn't erase and the errors remained, but when I entered EDL mode and reflashed using the Xiaomi Flash Tool, storage was completely erased and the device was flashed cleanly and booted correctly.
I've encountered a similar issue with my Axon (2020U version). I can boot into EDL but nothing else (no fastboot, recovery, etc.). I previously had TWRP up and running successfully, not sure what happened.
Is there a full EDL zip or similar that I can flash to return everything to stock? I tried restoring with the EDL tool but with no success

The reason the EDL tool may not work is that is doesn't have the capability to erase. The boot loop that occurs is usually due a corrupt bootfile. Use the MiFlash fastboot recovery tool. Make sure to select the clean all button at the bottom. Place your phone in EDL mode. Hit refresh to make sure your phone is detected. Select the EDL file and then hit flash.

Apologies for my ignorance - what exactly am I flashing? I see the "clean all" radio button, but I'm not sure what EDL package to flash after selecting that option - is there a 2020U package floating around that I'm not seeing?

The EDL package, use the same EDL package that you used with the EDL tool. Just select the "clean all" radio button. Select the path to the EDL , hit refresh once phone, in EDL mode, is detected, hit flash.

Ah, okay. I have the US version - A2020U. Unless I'm mistaken, it looks like there isn't a full EDL zip file available for my version yet, so I might be stuck
There were EDL files up, but apparently they were taken down for some reason.
in the russians there are the 1.6 of the g model as edl (which one can use in a brick) but I do not know if this is synonymous with the u model as you would have to ask @Unjustified Dev or something

Thanks for sharing these. @Unjustified Dev do you happen to know if the 1.6 2020G EDL would be able to be flashed to a 2020U model to recover from a brick? Or if not, is there a place to obtain the proper files, either here on the forums or via PM?

Help (QCN, EFS and modem files)

Hello,
I was having no IMEI found issues with my cc9 pro (note 10) and probably broke something in my EFS/modem partition as now when i flashed back to stock via fastboot its telling me my NV data is corrupted. Looking for any help regarding this, aswell as any files that i could use (a QCN for when i get back into the system, EFS backup/modem files) I have access to fastboot and that's pretty much it. The phone gets to the MIUI logo sometimes butthen goes back to the basic recovery.

I was having no IMEI found issues with my cc9 pro (note 10) and probably broke something in my EFS/modem partition as now when i flashed back to stock via fastboot its telling me my NV data is corrupted. Looking for any help regarding this, aswell as any files that i could use (a QCN for when i get back into the system, EFS backup/modem files) I have access to fastboot and that's pretty much it. The phone gets to the MIUI logo sometimes butthen goes back to the basic recovery.

you need flash in TEST Point mode to get back imei an nvdata
Could you explain a little bit more on how to do that?

Bricked Ulefone Armor 8 Pro

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?
