I have just received my Iocean X7 Elite and was about to install a new rom. I had successfully rooted the device and then was trying to flash
the recovery with SP Flash Tool.
After the recovery flashed my phone refuses to turn on I believe its somehow bricked but have no idea how this could have happened. I did
format flash i only downloaded the recovery to the device.
In Device Manager when i plug the phone it it either shows up as 'DA USB VCOM Port' or 'MTK USB Port'.
When I try to use SP Tool to flash the stock Rom back onto the device I get an error saying 'BROM ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL(4032)'
I have no idea what to do next can someone help me.
I have tried what this thread suggests:
bump
same as u..but differ phone model.(N9589)
had a few upgrd...til the recent brick it.
Tried a few version of flash tool and still the same

Same problem here - tried to install stock firmware and got this error...
these are common problems when flashing MT65xx based phones,
ie : error 4008, 4xxx, 5xxx whatever those codes mean, no explanation after extensive search on google.
once I managed to flash this one phone successfully, but I don't know exactly what I did.
as long as I recall, I tried to delete the whole flashtool folders, re-extract them, let the phone cool down a bit
and oh, try to press volume up, or down button (varies on devices) while connecting to USB, once the flashing progress bar starts, release the button.
In the flashtool option, at the OPTIONS-->DA DOWNLOAD ALL-->, check WITHOUT BATTERY.
and in the option, DA DOWNLOAD ALL--> SPEED, check DO NOT SWITCH SPEED.
try flashing your phone without battery inserted, it works many times for me.
NOTE : BEWARE, flashing your MTK65xx based phone, sometimes this tool tried to REMOVE YOUR PHONE's IMEI information, so take caution !
I haven't managed how to prevent IMEI removal when flashing those phones, because I'm not a developer.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for your reply, but this doesn't help... ;(
Anyone?
I think I figured out that the error above means you are trying to flash an incorrect ROM. Make sure you are using the right one and also make sure you're using the latest version of sp flash tool.
Once I downloaded a later version of the flash tool it began installing the ROM but then a different error appeared.
So I formatted the nand with the sp flash tool.
Then I flashed the stock ROM again and it worked
Formatting it seemed to make the errors go away even though its advised not to do so.

Iocean X7 Youth
I don't have the same problem but i flashed the latest version of official rom for iOcean x7 Youth : 03 july 2013 : and wtf no more internal sdcard only the rom stockage. So i can't download anything, i can't use camera .
On the official website, I read that before flashing the 20 may 2013 rom one and the 03 July 2013 one, your baseband version have to be 23/04 or higher( you have to flash the 23/04 official rom first). This is only avalaible for the YOUTH version.
So tomorrow i will try what i said below to see if i have internal sd card again.
noob question::: since the iocean x7 young and turbo are the same phones...only different clock rates...will flashing the firmware for turbo on iocean x7 young work??assuming that the mtk6589T and mtk6589 are the same chipset only different clock rates??

Clearly: Wrong driver. I had also this error. SPflash tool did not readback. I did not flash anything! I fixed this by showing the nonpresent devices in devicemanagement (google for show nonpresent devices for explanation)
Go to com ports, and delete all mediatek drivers except preloader driver. Now start over. It can help if you choose the same usb port where you had success last time.
SP flash tool shows in the statusbar which driver it is using.

Hello guys I got a x920 and was working good until it started doing something similar like Samsung Galaxy S3 Sudden Death.
The phone would randomly get a screen freeze, and the half bottom of the screen got distorted like green and pink lines, then slowly, the pixels were turning to black until the whole screen gets black, but the backlight would remain on.
I had to pull the battery out, and sometimes the phone would work again instantly, some other times, it wouldn't turn on, only after some time, and after a lot of battery pulls.
But last time I got this sudden death, the phone never came back.
I had the stock rom and only root.
My model version is: e2001v21_v89_zlh_hd
Most people with this phone have the e2001_v89_zlh_hd, and most roms on needrom.com are for e2001_v89_zlh_hd, there are a lot of roms for e2001v21_v89_zlh_hd though but I tried everything and I got DRAM Failed.
I use windows 8
SP flash tool v3.1304.0.119, v3.1308.0.125, v3.1316.0.150
And several other roms for both versions.
There is a solution from a French guy about the DRAM failed problem here, but I got the S5 rom downloaded as he stated, and can't get pass the first red bar on SP flash tool.
Do you have any idea what is going on with the 2 versions of the phone? People say that they read on chinese forum that v2.1 (e2001v21_v89_zlh_hd) has got different EMMC. So I guess roms from the e2001_v89_zlh_hd wont work.
I would like to know if you guys have any working rom for my e2001v21_v89_zlh_hd because I really need the phone at the moment. I must get it back to life.
ps (Is windows 8 suitable for flashing? I have installed mtk drviers normally through a weird process enabling manual driver installation through the advanced startup thingy on Windows 8, otherwise it wouldn't let me install the drivers.)

ok, there is no difference for using window 8 , xp, win 7, as long as u have installed the driver correctly.
as u said u can see the red bar, that mean yr driver was installed correctly.
all u need is the right preloader.bin
as i can understand from my past experiance, i think that the later batch of the phone, the manufacturer might use different DRAM or they might have changed the coding of the ram. that is why we see quite often there is complaint of DRAM fail when u try to flash the official rom for the phone. Not for newer model of the phone ( yr phone has two/three batches).
so may be u could ask the http://www.needrom.com/mobile/star-tengda-x920/ - smartdigi to create a preloader.bin from their phone for u , then u replace the preloader.bin in yr rom and flash it.
smartdigi is a team from Greece, and so am I, so yes, I just sent a message.
I hope I'll find a solution.

i had read tru the needrom wed regarding thier rom, i saw there is a instruction to pass tru the "DRAM fail."
had u tried that before.
they also had rom that match with yr version.
Yes, I downloaded the rom, and still got DRAM failed.
Is there any way to install smartdigi rom through sp flash tool and not sd card?
here's the link http://www.needrom.com/mobile/star-tengda-x920

ok, i just want to know if the procedure as they decribe will work, as i cannot test it, as i don.'t have the phone.
did u manage to get the preloder from them.
if u get the preloader from smartdigi , u stilll get the "DRAM fail" , then i think , may be their phone is an older batch,
for me, if u can read back from from the SP flash tool, (version 3.1316, (i justy learn that there is v3.1328 available)), then definitely u can flash yr phone with this preloader.bin
note
since u can't even go to recovery, then there is no way u can flash the rom with card flash rom from smartdigi, the only way to recover yr phone is tru cable flash rom that mean, u have to pass tru the "DRAM fail"
Well, I found the problem, the drivers installed are MTK USB Port, and not Preloader VCOM drivers.
I use windows 8 x64, I restarted with bypassing the signature thing.
The problem is, when I try to manually select the vcom driver, after the installation it shows up as MTK USB Port, and not as a vcom port.
Any solution?

no, it does not matter if it is preloader port or vcom port, actually they don,t make difference if u flash the rom.
that mean yr computer is talking to the phone correctly.
now the most important part is the "preloader.bin" file in yr rom must match the dram in yr phone.
that is why u hve to ask who has yr exactly same model of yr phone to create a preloader.bin.
or just try to download the preloader.bin as many as u can.
if u have a friend who has the phone same as as yours, then i can help to create from his phone, or u can create the preloader.bin from his phone
edit,
try to download the latest sp flas tool v3.1324 or v3.1328 ,flash the rom with it.
I tried several roms, with different preloader.bin files, non seems to work.
I tried with all sp flash tool versions, all 3.13904.0.119, 3.1308.0.125, 3.1316.0.150, 3.1328.0.183
Some versions of SP, are not showing up all the files gathered from the scatter file. Some other do.
Well, a smartdigi member, told me to use windows 7, because the mediatek drivers have gone as fas as windows 7 x64.

ya, u could try with win7.
for me i can flash with win8 also.
i use win 7 at home, win8 at office, no problem.
u could try with win7, i think most likely , u will get the same result.
i had brick my s7589, i unbrick it with the right preloader. after that i tried with the preloader.bin that was originally came with the rom.
this time , it can pass tru the "dram fail", get the purple color, then yellow, then finish with green color. then i try to swith on the phone, but, no response from the phoe. it was bricked again.
then i flash back with the right preloader.bin, the phone back to life again.
did u manage to get preloader.bin from smartdigi?
for me, it is the best solution to unbrick the phone. may be there is some other ways that i don't know

Well... installed windows 7 in another partition.
It was like I never did it, exactly the same result. Everything behaved the same.
I don't know... maybe I have crappy mtk drivers, or I'm doing something wrong while installing them.
Let me describe the steps, and if I'm somewhere wrong you can tell me.
Well, after a clean windows 7 install, I connect the phone to the pc (with or without battery,I think I tried both, didn't see something change) it gets to "other devices" as an "unknown device". right click to update driver software, select the folder with vcom drivers.
It gets recognized as a mtk usb port.
Try to flash like that, same results.
Then I go to update driver again, but this time I click "let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer." I uncheck show compatible hardware, then I choose MTK Preloader USB VCOM Port.
the device now shows up to the device manager as "MTK Preloader USB VCOM Port".
Try to flash, everything is the same...
I read somewhere, that the normal installation of vcom drivers is kinda different, that it get's shown up as "MTK Preloader USB VCOM Port" right away, and I read that when you install the vcom driver correctly, it connect and disconnects the device every 3 seconds.
Well.. I didn't manage to get the preloader.bin yet, I'll ask for it, but why the official rom on needrom.com preloader.bin is not working with my phone? And why would smatdigi preloader.bin would work for me?
I tried roms that are for e2001v21_v89_zlh_hd but even their preloader wouldn't work for me.
first of all, stop playing with those preloaders. random flashing will brick your motherboard of your computer too, if you flash a wrong BIOS file. clear? okay. the DRAM error occurs if the Rom is mismatching the "signature" of your device. so, before trying to flash it, take another one, in this case, the right one. ( for example: my device (n9770) got few cameras, few board revisions, ddr or ddr2 Ram and so on, only one Rom or a mix of different files will work)so flashing a wrong firmware causes more "damage" or "errors". have you backed up your firmware before rooting?
you need to find a full backup of your device ( most likely a Rom directly from your vendor) including ALL needed partitions for flashtool. ROM's of new devices are hard to find, even for n9770 (mt6577) there are ROM versions from 06-2012 till now. so, if you got a "newer" device, you need to get the correct firmware and flashtool should flash without problems. also, your drivers are working perfectly, otherwise flashtool won't show the red bar wich is checking the device.you may need to check if the "second" driver is installed correctly, because the device will switch from preloader mode to "flash mode". maybe the driver for the preloader is installed correctly, but it can't switch to flash mode.

How can I check that the second drivers is installed correctly?
just open your device manager and check, if the device gets recognized correctly. start a flash and check, if there are any devices gets loaded while trying to flash. if so, install the correct driver. there are some issues with that sometimes.
if this won't work, try using MTD tool. flasing through there should work always, but it got some issues with vcom drivers. you need to assign every vcom port to the mtk device. explaining of this is retty hard since english isn't my motherlanguage, so its best to check google or xda for that.
also, can you start your device into recovery, or is it really "dead"? no bootlogo, nothing?
No the device is hard bricked, no recovery at all. Not anything. :/
I can't use MtkDroidTool, it doesn't detect my device.
hmn, i would suggest its a hardware failure. never saw a device "dying" without flashing before.
btw: i meant SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject tool, this is a more advanced variant of sp flash tool. just google for it and put a log in here, so i (we) can check whats the matter.

I am having UMI X2 2GB rom, 32 gb internal memory, 1.5 GHZ (MT6589T) Model.
I tried to use SP Flash tool to recover my phone. Firstly I tried to format the phone, After that I tried to run the correct scatter file for MT6589 (from one of the ROM Posted under UMI-X2).
Drivers for the SP Flash tool is loaded correctly (into my Windows 8 Pc). I was previosly getting error as follow : SP FLASH TOOL ERROR: (8200)
[Platform Error] The load and target are inconsistent!
Now, after searching a lot I found that its something wrong with SP Flash tool version.
So I downloaded SP Flash Tool V3.1304.O.sn119 version. After that I am trying to "Download" the rom (with the correct scatter file for my ROM). but its only showing me RED Bar (with 100%) and after that it does nothing. Its neither showing me any error nor its continuing the process.
I am in serious problem here. Please help me out.
Thanks in advance!

Necro thread...
I have the same issue.
A couple of days ago the phone just started turning off / locking up when off, and having great difficulty tuning on... i.e. pulling out the battery for a minute or a few times.
Now the phone won't turn on at all. They only sign of life is the charging animation when you plug it in.
Prior to all this, there appeared a window in Chinese with some options. my GF (who's phone it is) just pressed something, no idea what. But she said something about 'drawing on the screen'??? sound like something locked up and the previous frame wasn't deleted from the frame buffer before redrawing the new one... I have no idea.
Anyway, I tried going into recovery to see if there was anything I could do there, unfortunately everything was in Chinese, so not much help. for some reason now, the recovery isn't even working.
Now I can connect to the phone via SPflash, but I get the above response: '[Platform Error] The load and target are inconsistent!'
Some other ROMs I tried give me this response:
'The load to be downloaded is for MT6589;
The target platform is MT6582_S00'
Which is quite suspicious.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Apparently sometimes it's not the best idea to use the flashing software that the manufacturer of your phone released.
I have a Wiko Lenny(technically a MediaTek MT6572) that has(or had - now it's dead) the habit of simply rebooting into a bootloop every few months. Fixing that was simple; just start SP Flash Tool, format everything then flash the stock ROM back. Last time I did that was around 4 months ago, and since then I have upgraded to Windows 10, and as such, lost the tools I had installed.
Yesterday it went into a bootloop again. I didn't remember exactly what tools I used, so I assumed they were the tools that Wiko supplied a while back with the V10 ROM. Well, they weren't. I still thought I'd give them a try. I mean, it's from the manufacturer's site, so they must work even better that the ones I was using.
I was wrong. The tool flashed the ROM "successfully", but the only thing it actually succeeded to do is corrupt the preloader. For those who don't know, corrupting the preloader basically means the phone won't even power on(not boot, actually power on), won't charge, and the PC won't detect anything if you connect the phone. Practically, it's the hardest brick a phone can get.
The fastest way to fix that is by either using a JTAG connection to flash everything manually, or by entering something called the Mediatek META mode(don't quote me on this one, though - I never heard of it before). JTAG - well I don't have the tools or expertise necessary to do that(although I'd love to learn how to do it - if anyone can point me to a well-written guide or two about that, please do!), and I simply can't get the phone to enter the META mode.
Is JTAG the only way to do it? Is META mode just a myth? Is there a way to save my phone, or should I just say "RIP" and buy a new one(I have the money for a Samsung Galaxy A3, the new one, but I was planning to buy a new computer with that money - is it worth it?)?
TL;DR (It's not that long but anyway...):
I have a Wiko Lenny(Mediatek MT6572) with a corrupted preloader after I flashed it with Wiko's tool. Can I repair it or should I just buy a new phone?

Come on people, let's fix this little guy.
EDIT: Please, just tell me what your ideas are... A tip, a crazy idea, some details about MTK devices that could help, anything is appreciated.
Please...
Looks like I'm getting the 10 posts just by begging people to say something... :crying:
I have an MTK phone and its always going wrong and not booting/turning on because I mess with it and break it
I'm sure I flash the backup I made in mtktools with spflash, and plug the phone in with no battery attached, I also have to use windows 7 on a dual boot as windows 10 never played ball properly. You also need the mtk VCOM driver installed, not just adb and normal drivers. If you have all these, and have tried them, then that is the end of my knowledge sadly. Only other thing is going to needrom and seeing if they have a full rom/backup with partition tables/preloader etc.
Also, had to try a few versions of sptools as certain versions didnt work, forget which one I have and which didnt work. And also had to use a samsung USB lead as the stock one didnt work, or the other way round. I just remember it was a ball-ache but did eventually work. Am not on that pc so cant be more helpful, sorry....

Thanks for replying. I'm not sure if I have the VCOM drivers, but I'll check. Luckily I also have a Win7 PC besides this one, so I'll try it there too.

Repair your own device
Soft Brick: Soft brick is the state of android device which occur due to some software problems like boot loops or phone freezing at some point during boot. This only occurs if some software problem occurred in the device mainly during OS upgrade or ROM flashing. If your device is in such state then you are luck there are 99% chances that you can recover your beloved device without needing any professional help or spending hundred of dollars.
Hard Brick Hard brick is the state of android device that occurs when your device won’t boot at all i.e. no boot loop,no recovery and also not charging. This occurs due to trying to flashed firmwere not made for your device or flashed incorrectly. This is more difficult to resolve and often require professional help
in MTK Android there is many Partitions in your phone. like Preloader, Recovery, Bootimg etc….. if somehow Preloader get Corrupted then you phone will not able to DETECT WITH PC !!! in other words you will have phone with BOOT DEAD.
How Preloader get corrupted ?
There could be few reasons but main reason could be that someone or you Flash your complete phone (include Preloader) with wrong files or with wrong ver. Also there could be reason someone Delete Preloader or you Deleted.
How could i know my phone have preloader dead ?
Preloader can be dead if some one Flash it wrong and after flash your mobile will not detect with pc any more. for confirm
1.sp flash tools does not detect your phone anymore and also the computer does not as there is a pop sound when usb is connected to device
2.open device manager
take battery out from phone
insert usb
insert battery
and check is computer detecting any device
If it’s not detect then you have phone which Preloader is dead AKA Boot Dead
How can i repair it ?
requirement
1.screwdriver (by which you can open the screw from handset)
2.bricked device
3.a usb cable
4.a copper wire( for sold test points)
5.a pc with sp flash tool,mtk drivers and stock firmwere for your mobile
now you have to disassemble your phone and take pcb out. check there should be some Golden points. check these points there should be written on them Rx,Tx,GND,Vcc,Vcharge etc… check there should be written “COLO” or “KOLO” or“KCOLO” you have to Sold that point with GND After Sold Attach usb now your phone will detect with USB !! and now ready to Flash.
In some phones “COLO” or “KOLO” or “KCOLO” not written for those type of phones you have to test all points one by one Short Golden point with GND and attach usb cable which point short with gnd can able to detect your phone by pc isForce Preloader Mode Test Point !! Keep in mind Don’t Short Vcc,Vcharge or any other pin which have 4.x Volts also i had tested “Colo” or “Kolo” or “KCOLO” don’t have any kind of volts.

HI sir how can I contact you
Hi I also have the same problem - when I flashed the stock rom of my LG K7 X-210 (MT6580__lge__LG-X210__m13g__5.1__ALPS.L1.MP6.V2.19_ARIMA6580.WE.L_P42) with the SP Flash tool when I was in a bootloop, I accidentally forgot to uncheck the preloader option. I flashed it to my phone and from that point onwards it didn't want to start up any more, nor would it react if I tried charging it. So conclusion: the preloader is corrupt...
However, I read online that MTK devices (mine is MT6580) have a 'meta' mode which allows your device to still connect to SP Flash tool even if it is hardbricked (in my case by pressing the volume up button, and then simultaneously plugging it in the computer). It is then recognized as MTK Com port something in device manager.
Luckily I have the same phone (but it's not mine) and I was wondering if it was possible to make a full rom dump from that device and restore it on mine? (a method that is safe for the other device as well)
i have a proble on my new phone since i flash preloader my touch is not working anymore, any solutions ?

Hello, is it too late to write?
Tried rooting my phone, the oukitel k10000 max, with sp flash tool and it hard bricked straight away, download and recovery don't work but windows recognizes it's there when I plug in with usb so theres hope, I just can't seem to find a solution that actually works in any way, also I didn't back up nvram or dram so now when I try to flash it gives me the (4032) error code for dram, seemingly can't flash anything at all. Help would be greatly appreciated, might even wire some paypal dough if someone can help me get it working again? Also my drivers are installed properly as far as i can tell, i installed them in the disable driver signature verification start-up mode.

Don't worry, I've had this exact issue for a while and fixed it. Do you have anything I could contact you on? I'm not really often on xda so if you had discord for example it'd be much easier.

Anyone wanna help me with my K10000 Max? Tried installing the stock rom with Magisk installed, with the Smart Phone Flash tool and it completely bricked my phone. Black screen and wont even respond to the power button. When connecting it with a PC, Windows complains about not recognizing the USB device. Do i have a 200€ brick now that i can toss in the garbage? Please help before the wife finds out and kicks my head in!
EDIT: Disconnected the battery and the phone gave little signs of life again and was actually recognized by the flasher software. Tried to flash a stock image again and it gave me this:
S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL
[Description]
l [EMI] Enable DRAM Failed.
[Solution]
l Please check your images to make sure it matches with your phone and download again.
EDIT 2: Figured it out myself! In a deep despair, i tried like a 1000 different roms but nothing worked. Even the backup rom that i made before i first flashed my phone didn't work, giving me a different error, something about the chipset. Today, i wondered why the scatterfile said my rom was for the 6735 chipset, as the K10000 MAX is a 6753 device. Changed the line in the scatter file manually and tried to flash it afterwards and i nearly **** my pants when it actually started flashing the phone. Flash was successful and now the phone is working again. Now i just need to find a working custom rom for it.

Hi, I'm new to the forums.
Back to July 2020, I tried to install custom ROM for my Redmi Cactus and it has no problem until I wipe the data from TWRP and install the custom ROM but failed, I couldn't remember why. And now the phone is dead, it won't boot, no vibration what so ever, when I charge it the LED turns on but when I plug it to PC it won't detect the phone, no sound and nothing in Device Manager even though I have the MTK driver installed on my PC. I've read this thread and couldn't understand the first step as it says "Open REV4 Bypass tool, off your phone. Click BYPASS Connect phone to PC and Turn ON your phone." but I can't turn on my phone. Also on Step 2 which is the SP Flash Tool thing, it says "Open SPFLASHTOOL choose in Download-Agent No_Auth.bin" but on my SP Flash Tool archive I can't find No_Auth.bin, is it somewhere from third-party or from the firmware itself? Currently I'm downloading the firmware and will try to flash it using SP Flash Tool to see if it works. Any help with this?
Best Regards,
Rev.

Follow this https://www.droidwin.com/unbrick-realme-6-6i-6s-sp-flash-tool/, of course, skip to download and flash the files that are for the other model, instead, replace from your phone's files.
The whole idea, is that you have to install the LibUSB drivers, so your device get recognized and can bypass the DA/SLAA restrictions for BROM mode, in MediaTek devices. When you can bypass it, then you can flash the proper firmware for your device, you don't need to power on your device for that, as your device is bricked...
Hi, sorry it took me so long to reply, the phone is finally fixed thanks to your guide! How can I make this thread or your post as a solution?
