Hey,
I have been years just reading these forums but never made any posts, so thats why I cannot post to development section anyways. I happened to totally brick my phone by flashing wrong preloader into it. However this morning i succesfully reflashed it and now I have somehow working phone (just need to find new rom now) but anyways. This thread is to help other people who has semi bricked their phones as well.
Current situation.
-Phone doesn't charge,
-Phone doesn't turn on (nothing happens)
-Computer sees phone for few secs, so you have "META mode" access. If your computer doesn't see your phone at all make modified USB connect the 4pin to ground. This is what I did actually. If that doesn't work you can google for test points.
My device:
MTK6575 (Fake mt6589)
512MT RAM (fake 2GB)
800x460 resolution (fake 1920x1080)
4GB internal memory (fake 8gb)
5" screen
2200mah battery (fake 3000mah)
OK this is the prodecure that got my phone back to live!
Install windows XP (Yes, windows 8 didn't work for me. most likely drivers are not ready for it. I will not write steps how to install windows xp)
Install USB deview
-Google it, download it, extract package and run it
-Remove all drivers related to Mediatek, android, usb vcom etc.
Download and install VCOM USB Drivers
-Download these drivers http://www.mediafire.com/download/31nddwqdot5ajp2/MT6575+USB+VCOM+drivers.zip
-Put your phone battery in (50% charge) required. wait 10s. Take battery off and connect your phone to PC as meta mode ( modified USB cable, VOL+/- while connecting, you can read more about this from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943442
-When your phone is connected it will disconnect after ~3-5seconds. Now you have to wait in device manager connect the phone right click the device when it shows up. Install driver from the location where you unpacked your VCOM USB drivers/2K_XP_COM/ dont automaticly install them but manually. After windows have found drivers UNTICK show compatible devices. And MANUALLY select preloader driver. Now it will install it the next time the device connects. OK now we have Preloader driver in place. Notice that we will install one more driver later needed in flashing procedure. Disconnect phone.
Now download compatible rom. for me My backup was not working, but this rom worked out perfectly:
http://search.4shared.com/postDownload/wILsUT7J/MTK6575_S4_FLASH_TOOLS_YEDEK.html
Download SP Flash Tool v3.1222.00, extract it.
Ok lets recap what we have now:
-preloader drivers
-phone disconnected
-SP Flash Tool v3.1222.00
-back up we can use to flash
Open flash tool, enter scatter file and go to Format
-Select Format whole flash except bootloader and nvram bin region. -> connect phone -> succeed
-Select Format NVRAM bin region ONLY -> connect phone -> succeed
-Select Format whole flash -> connect phone -> succeed
Ok. Next we need to flash compatible rom this part is tricky. Read before doing anything.
-Disconnect your phone, enter battery (50% charge required)
-wait atlaest 15seconds, and remove battery
-(I dont know why those steps were required, but didn't work without it)
-Open SP Flash tool select scatter file and select all checkboxes
-press download
-connect your phone in META mode with Preloader drivers we installed before.
-Now red prograss bar will start going and phone will disconnect After it reconnect We want ANOTHER drivers are located in the same place but now we need to select Mediatek DA Vcom USB drivers. If everything went fine you get yellow progress bar and it will reflash your phone! :victory:
In the last part if you got Error 5054, This is good. It means your phone is still alive! but your current preloader does not match the data you are going to flash. So you need to go back to google and download other rom try flashing everything (thats what I did, before hitting jack pot, eventually you will find compatible rom)
If you got ERROR 3002 switch back to SP Flash Tool v3.1222.00 newer one doesn't work!
I got some other errors as well when flashing and I solved them but didn't write down the errors so I cant remember them sorry
Remember before connect phone as META mode. Plug in battery with atlaest 50% power wait 15s. remove it. and connect the phone to PC. This was the mysterious step I was missing when struggling with this 5 days!
By the time of writing this article I got my phone working rom, everything works.
GOOD LUCK
ps. Sorry for typos.
:angel: kthxbai
thanks!
AND THANKS FOR yuweng and rui1 who made this all possible!
anyway now I'm back to porting CM to our device. hopefully this helped somebody (and yes, I will be more careful this time)
Hi, it worked for me and i could unbrick my mtk6575
Hi, there
rom given in post worked for me

please provide password or any solution to it.

Hello,

when i start flashing and connect the phone with the usb cable , SPFlashTools starts flashing but after 4 seconds the MTK VCOM PORT auto disconnects " even if i didnt use SPFlashTools "

is there anyway i can stop the USB from charging the phone ?
Thanks in advance

Maybe is this main problem?
thnaks
I've seen the other thread in xda forum that solved this problem and it's because of the preloader file but thing is which preloader file that solved this DRAM failed problem. Anyone? Please.. share the link or files included the steps?
Solution that I've already try and end up error.
- try other S820 Stock ROM , load up in SP Flash tool and end up with same error "DRAM Failed"
- take out the batt. plug in back after hit the "download" button from SP Flash tool and at the same time plug onto usb while pressing power + vol. down @ both vol. button and end up with the same error.
p/s : in my case, the usb drive is well connected and recognize by my laptop/pc desktop and I'm pretty sure that this has nothing to do with the usb driver cause my laptops still can detect my phones (com port).
Problem Solved.
I've download several files and my phone turn on back. Follows below step if you're having same problem as mine.
Problem :
Phone is already update to a new version 4.4.2 Kitkat (don't know which or what rom since this phone is not belong to me) and from what owner tell me is that this rom that installed has no gapps and he tried to install the gapps.
after flashing it, phone become dead and won't boot even can't see the bootloader. Just nothing if you hold up the power + vol. down / up or power + vol. up and down.
When plug in phone to pc / laptop, phone is detected by Lenovo usb port or MTK usb port.
Solution :
*IMPORTANT* make sure you came from what version. (mine is 4.4.2 kitkat)
Things that you need -
sd card (just enough to put the required files), usb cable, SP Flash tool v3.1328.0.183, preloader.bin file, S820_ROW_S119_130922 files and S820 Multi language files.
1. Download all the requirement files.
S820 Custom Multi language and pre_install_rom v9 here
preloader.bin file here
S820_ROW_S119_130922 here (login and passwd can be found here)
2. Extract the S820_ROW_S119_130922 files and extract the target_bin.zip files.
Then extract the Pre_install_rom v9 and rename the folder as target_bins. After that,
extract the preloader.bin files and put it on the target_bin folder. (Don't worry as in target_bin folder already has the preloader_S820_ROW.bin (119kb) ). Done extract the files, check your phone either your machine detect it by name MTK usb port or Lenovo usb port. If it is MTK then we're good to go. ( If other than that, please uninstall any other lenovo driver that you already installed in your machine. Restart machine and check again whether your machine recognize it as MTK port or Lenovo usb port. ) When you done with this, unplug your phone from your machines and leave it aside.
3. Run the SP flash tool (admin rights) and select the MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc files that located in target_bin folder. Tick the DA DL with all checksum. Then copy Checksum files in folder target_bins and paste it on target_bin folder and on SP flash tool click download. Let it load for a moment until at the bottom of it (EMMC) you see "searching".
4. take out your batt. and plug in back then plug the usb cable to your machine and wait for the sp flash tool detect your phone and start the flashing process. After done flashing, now your phone has the CWM recovery. Unplug the phone from machine and leave it aside.
5. Copy the yaaki_v9_lenovo_S820_KITKAT_4.4.2_rooted files into your sd card and plug into your phone. Press and hold the power + vol. down + vol. up and wait until you see the Lenovo logo then you can see the CWM recovery. Go to install from sd card and select the yaaki_v9_lenovo_S820_KITKAT_4.4.2_rooted files and flash it. Wait until the process finished and after it finish installed, go back and reboot system now and choose NO for disable the CWM recovery flash.
6. Wait for around 2 - 3 mins. for the updated apps. Phone rooted + gapps + custom CWM recovery.
THANKS!!!
I can't describe how much i appreciate your post. I had the exact same problems as you did, I even used the some first rom to flash which made me problems. 3 days the phone was dead. Then I tried and did the exact from how you wrote in the last post and my s820 is live again.
:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
Now I'm completly sure to update mi phone, thanks!
Please help
It has been asked to extract S820_ROW_S119_130922 and extract the target_bin.zip. Further you are asking to extract Pre_install_rom v9 and the rename the folder to target bin. And again you are asked to put the extracted preloader.bin to the target bin.
I’m quite confuse over this and so I would like to raise few questions.
1) To which target bin you are asking to put the preloader.bin file? ROM’s target bin or renamed (Pre_install_rom v9) target bin?
2) And in step 3 you are asking to choose MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc from target bin. Now please tell me which target bin I have to choose? If it’s from the renamed target bin (Pre_install_rom v9) then what is the use of extracting S820_ROW_S119_130922 and again the target_bin.zip? Or if it’s from ROM’s then what is the purpose of extracting Pre_install_rom v9?
Unsuccessful !! Not working.
Flashing was completed successfully. But unfortunately ended with just a flash in the screen. It doesn't start at all.
For device produce in 2014 you must download a new preloader 2014, extract it to ROM folder and remove the checksum.ini file, and flash using SP tool.

Hey,
I have a problem with my V875.
I made an error while flashing the stock ROM, and after that my internal memory was damaged. I was unable to mount and format anything. So, I format everything (except the bootloader) with sp flash tool, but now my phone is dead. The only thing he does is turning on the led when usb charger is plugged (on a computer, or on the charger). And when I unplug it, the led remains on, and I have to remove the battery for turning it off..
I looked for a solution, and now I have the firmware for my device. But I need also the preloader.bin file...
Do anyone have it?
Thank you
Hi, few days ago my sister's phone fell from about 1m on the ground and from this time it's dead. Screen all the time off, no vibes etc.
The phone is iNew v8 plus.
I've disassembled it, unpluged and pluged all cables, checked if hardware buttons are working(by multimeter, they are working), etc. but still nothing, phone is dead.
Today i've connected it to my pc and seems like it's not fully dead, because in Device manager it's visible as USB Modem Driver(COM3), it's connecting for about 5 seconds and then instantly disconnecting, and again connecting... endless loop.
Device is not visible for ADB,
Do you see any chance in at least recovering data from phone?
Thanks in advance
Mostly for Mediatek android devices, it has a solution, which is:
-Install device's drivers
-install spflashtool
-download your smartphone's rom (suitable for spflashtool with scatter file)
-open spflashtool load rom by choosing scatter file
-untick all options, leave only preloader ticked
-click download button on spflashtool
-it should be waiting for device to be connected
-connect now your device via usb
-it will resolve usb connection problems ( your device's usb connection to pc will be stable )
-now reload scatter - tick all options there but untick preloader because it is already flashed
-wait up to 10 min
-turn your device on
Enjoy
Hello I need help
I did what you said and the first part worked then when I went to untick that file and tick others it was going fine for around 10 sec then it disconnected wtf?
Where can I find the scatter file? I have the ROM but cannot see find the scatter file..
