Hi,
I've had a useless X10 here for months. I've done everything to try and reinstall the firmware including SEUS, Update Service and Flashtool. Nothing works and I cannot access my phone.
I was hoping I could get it working with the new flashtool. After running it and connecting the phone, it's giving me the error:
12/000/2011 22:00:44 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
12/000/2011 22:00:44 - INFO - Now unplug the device and power it on
12/000/2011 22:00:44 - INFO - Then go to application settings
12/000/2011 22:00:44 - INFO - turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging
The problem I'm having is, I haven't been able to get my x10 to turn on. Is there a way to flash without having debugging enabled?
Thanks.
Try to reinstall the drivers
are you rooted?

Try this:
1 - remove the battery and wait for 4 - 5 minutes;
2 - reinsert the battery;
3 - put your phone to charge in a wall socket (not thru USB);
4 - leave it charging for about 3 - 4 hours (check if the led is on);
5 - try to flash a stock rom using flashtool.
My X10 has an issue with the battery that makes it power off and not turn on while I don't do steps 1 and 2. I've tried to reflash a stock rom, but had received the same error you have, until I put the battery to charge during the entire night. After the recharge, I was able to reflash the rom fine (altough the problem of shutting off randomsly still happens).
Hope it helps.
I've tried using flashtool after charging my phone for a good 10 hours. It takes around 4-6 hours to flash 7-8/10 files then the battery dies.
Nothings working. The new flashtool demands the phone have unknown sources and debugging enabled but I can't since I cannot access my phone.
And if it matters at all my phone was rooted with FreeX10 rom.
GTFIH X10 geeks, help me.
when it just wont work
CHARGE PHONE TOO 100% BEFORE STARTING ANYTHING.
First ALL FLASHTOOLS Have to be done in Administrator mode on your PC/laptop and this may also fix that messed up usb port you seem to have on it to. You should NEVER charge you phone for more then 2ish hours in fact it should only take about 1.5 to 2 hours if not then you have a bad one. Also you should check that your usb drivers are up to date before you start. And Be Patient.
Had the same problem last year. What you need to do is uninstall all Se software Pc Companion an Se update Sevice and all Java.
If you have a registry cleaner and or an uninstaller (not windows) like Revo Uninstaller free or Pro use it to uninstall an clean registry. (BUT NOT IN Administrator Mode only Flashtool needs this)
Do a disk clean up Local Disk C:drive/right click properties/click disk cleanup/click all boxes/Click run/clean.
Reboot wait till stack OS/drive light stops flickering (stops loading).
Yes boot again.
Reboot wait till stack OS/drive light stops flickering (stops loading).
The first boot sets up your cleanup the second boot starts a fresh boot cycle again wait for full load up light stops.
Reinstall all programs letting them update them self. JAVA first Pc Companion then Se update Service rebooting on each one NOT all at once (waiting till stack OS/drive light stops flickering (stops loading) each time.
This helps your stack/drive stay clean.
If you do not have 7zip (free) you should get it now an download an install it reboot PC (waiting till stack OS/drive light stops flickering (stops loading).
When connecting phone to PC use a different USB port then the one you used at first.
Now Start Pc Companion and let it do it's thing, do as it says, connecting phone to update Pc Companion to it.
Then do the same for Se update doing as it says and do an update and/or repair.
If it says to unplug or plugin USB just unplug/plugin the USB on the PC not the phone and making sure that you put it back in the same USB port.
Create a folder on C: drive:
Right click Start/Explore/Click (high light) Local Disk(C) click file/new/folder/
right click new folder/rename/Flashtool version ?.?.?
Download And Save to Folder you made on the C: drive

Reboot wait till stack OS/drive stops loading (light stops flickering).
When using Flashtool do not unplug USB from PC and when plugging in for flashing just remove battery plug mini USB in phone hold back button an put battery back in.
While Flashing NEVER TURN OFF/CLOSE FLASHTOOL until the phone is up and working completely.
After putting firmware in folder.
Right Click/x10Flashtool/Click Run As Administrator.
And follow the instruction in all the guides and all should be good.

With the SDK what would I have to learn to fix the phone?
Can you get in to xrecovery if you can clear all. If not try pluging in to usb xrecovery should come up. Sorry so late I'm not at my pc all update this when i get home.
Sent from my X10a using XDA Premium App
make sure you have a sim card in the phone, that might get you past your problems
Do you have x10.sin in loaders in flashtool?
Is your USB cable connected through a hub? There is absolutely no reason it should take anywhere near that long to flash unless your connection is to slow. I tried flashing while plugged through a passive hub and it would get to ~70% and fail everytime until I plugged directly into the PCs USB port. Flashing should only take a few minutes if you have a good USB connection.

Its your battery. Its not charging correctly. U may need a new one since u can't turn it on
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
Did you get it fixed ?? Phone power should be at least 60% when you start anything
To get in to xrecovery turn off phone wait 5 seconds then turn on phone and pressing the back button tell it comes up if it doesn't try again and if it still doesn't then you didn't do something right.
Also try SU update repair.
Try turning off phone plug in usb to phone then pc then turn on phone if you flashed right xrecovery should come up on phone then scroll down with volume button to advanced setting clear all then re-flash Firmware. if not re-root install xrecovery if that does not work start ALL over from start with my first post on the 24th. my guess is you are missing some steps.
@GravvyTrain
Yes I do have a Sim card in the phone, problem remains the same
@Dusza Spc
Yes I do have the x10.sin file in flashtool
@CMoney87
Not using a hub, directly into my laptop USBS. Also tried on various computers, same problem. It's the phone.
@Lion3494
I doubt it's my battery, I've used another and same problem.
@Patricks_book
Have not fixed the problem. I literally can't access anything on the phone, When you press the power button it vibrates and thats it. I've tried accessing Xrecovery and It doesn't do anything.
I've tried SU Update Repair and it gives me a network error (I've disabled firewalls, tried on another computer) and It doesn't allow me to go any furthur (wrote the exact error in a previous thread).
I haven't missed any steps, It just doesn't flash.
Awesome to make things even better, my phone won't go green when on USB.
Put the phone onto charge and all it gives me is blinking red light.
Goodnight sweet X10.

Hi guys!
I have tried to get Android onto my phone and I'm stuck. I'm using the files/instructions from this thread. (HSPL has been done and confirmed)
I noticed there's a similar thread, but they seem to be talking about a different problem, even though it happened at the same step.
Looking at the step-by-step list from that thread, I am stuck between step 10, step 11 and step 12:
- I successfully flashed RHODIMG.NBH
- Took out the battery, booted up with USB and there's the blue screen of the miniPoopLoader (tee-hee, it says poop ).
- Text scrolls by, ends with -- suspend --.
That's it, nothing happens. I can reboot, and it just goes there again. One of the snippets of text reads "flash_read_image: failed 0 errors"
I thought this might be all fine afterall and that I just had to use Fastboot erase blabla to go ahead. But obviously that doesn't work. Most likely because step 12 says install drivers, but no request to install any drivers comes up on my Windows (using Win 7 64 - also, drivers in the package are all Vista - will those work?), which I assume is either because the phone never boots up "far enough" for windows to detect the device, OR because I'm a retard to all major phone hackers here, because I just have to copy them somewhere. (didn't find anything on the boards to suggest the later is true, but then again, who knows).
So, where's the stupid newbie mistake that I overlooked? This isn't the first flash I'm doing, flashed win 6.1/6.5 onto my Touch Pro (1 ), using a fine how-to on this board, and constantly tweaking my S2 and S3, but this seems to be too much for me to figure out.
Thanks for any help!
What phone are you using?
Basic trouble shooting would be.
Task 29, re-download & reinstall minipooploader.
This video gives some idea of what you should expect.Useful info starts around 7:00
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qNCHqGPofI
I have never heard of a suspend error/dialog. Perhaps someone else can chime in.
I think he just hasn't prepped for fastboot properly.
Sometimes I have to reboot a few times to get the cable plug timing or *something* right... Not sure what it is, but occasionally when doing a new flash to Android I had issues with fastboot not being recognized - and obviously you won't be able to flash recovery without fastboot being functional.
So before you task29 and reinstall OP - try a few different things - try plugging the cable in BEFORE you boot the phone. Try pulling the battery again, and do the plug in cable before you turn it on. I can't remember what the secret is here, I know for getting into recovery you have to start holding power as soon as you see the blue screen - but obviously this is beyond where you are at.

To enter fast boot you need to have the phone totally off (not rebooted) with the usb cable removed. Then plug usb cable into the phone with the phone off. Then press and hold the power button until the blue screen is done. Sadly I have been doing this all morning trying to resolve a problem of my own.
Tried that, resulting in a slightly different screen (see attached image). Other than that, no difference. I still don't get any request for the HTC drivers and going Fastboot erase recovery results in "waiting for device".
Could you check the list at the thread I linked in the original posting and tell me if I somehow missed something?
Step 10 worked fine.
Step 11 I guess is what Wizardknight commented on.
Step 12 is what confuses me and what's possibly the culprit here?
I bet it's just that without the drivers my PC can't send the Fastboot commands to the phone.
Everything before that worked fine with no errors and everything after that, is just hammering away at the console.
Thanks guys!

Looks like it is working ok on the phone. I am assuming you installed fastboot and ADB on the PC.
What happens when you open a command prompt and type fastboot devices?
BTW here are the more official install directions.
Lists nothing. After hitting enter, I'm back at the \android-sdk\platform-tools promt.

Was the usb port on the phone working ok in WM? Could you sync and other data related activities?
Does any unknown devices show up in your device manager on the pc?
Have you tried any other usb cables?
Solved.
I tried different ports and a different cable before, even though my cable worked fine before (and so did the port). Guess I have two dead cables here, because the third one did the trick.
Drivers installed at once, Android installed and I feel very stupid now. Thank you very much for being so patient with something this stupid.

This might be where you're going to have to go next OP. Sounds like it's all OK - so try different cables, different USB ports on the PC, and if you can - an entirely different PC altogether.

Had that problem before too. Glad you got it sorted.
After playing around with cooking my own rom from .290 stock I thought I had hard bricked my ZU
No recovery
Flashmode and Fastboot would only connect for the briefest moments
Flashtool could not flas an FTF as it would say "device disconnected" immediately
Flashtool could not flash a boot.img as the device would again disconnect before you could do any thing
The saving grace was @jackie099 's 4.3 root tool - used as it wasn't intended to be used
The thing with this tool is it waits for the device then flashes the boot.img where flashtool is the other way around for flashing a boot.img. ie the device has to be there before selecting the .img.
It may have taken 10 or more attempts to get a working recovery on the ZU
I suspect that I could have managed the same using adb/fastboot at the command line?

@jackie099 root tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2576006
ps make sure that you keep a working rom and nandroid backup on the sd card - ie don't del the wrong nandroid and del the old rom's to make room
EDIT:
After 3 hours of fretting and thinking I had well and truly bricked the ZU and wasted $800 (yes I know that our money down here is near worthless ) I rebooted windows this morning - looks like most of the troubles was windows 8, and I had just a normalish soft-bricked ZU that any noob could have fixed.

With locked bootloader... Nah!!!! It's next to impossible to brick this beast....
Sent from my XT925 using Tapatalk
I managed to screw up while trying to root .290, my fix was to relock the bootloader via flash tool, then use PCC to reflash stock.
I bricked mine a couple times trying to root and install recoveries. I just used FlashTool. Worked for everthing.
The problem was not the soft brick, if I was worried about that I would not be playing with cooking my own version of 290
The problem was windows, with in a tenth of a second of connecting the phone windows would do something (reset the connection?) and then flashtool etc would say device disconnected. .1 of a second is not long to try an flash a boot image
Ps I have an unlocked bootloader
^^ you did "restart" in that special mode that allows unsigned drivers in win8 prior to setting up flashtool etc? (sry, don't a link, check flashtool thread maybe) 9 times out of 10 this is the issue with win8.

yep drivers all install correctly, was working fine one flash, then 15-20 min later after another (failed) flash it wasn't
in 14 years of linux I'm sure I never had the amount of random issues that I'v had in 6 months of windows 8
Yesterday I run into a similar problem when I try to flash the C6833 to my C6802. The flashtool stuck for like 10 minutes, and I had to leave urgently so that I.... manually remove the cable.
When I got home, I started everything again, and this time, it works for me.
To OP: I also had problem with windows8 because it does not recognize the drivers no matter how I tried. Desperatedly, I switch to Windows 7 (I have 2 system running), everything was pretty smooth and straight forward.

Win 8 you have to boot it into it's special boot mode and click through about 4 pages to find the correct place to tell it to load unsigned drivers,then it will work. But this wasn't an issue with unsigned drivers.

Does flashtool say anything when you connect the phone?
Have you tried a reset (hold power and vol +) or have you tried a hard reset (the red button in side of the sim cover)?

The issue you're facing might be directly related to trying to use flash tools in Windows 8 rather than Windows 7.
There is an issue installing the drivers you need to flash the phone in Windows 8.
You need to enter something called 'special mode' and tinker with a few settings.

Same error in Windows 7 and Windows 8...
it seems like ive done the impossible with bricking my phone, locked bootloader and not rooted. power went out when 4.3 almost finished flashing and the phone wouldnt go into flashmode or fastboot. charging it would have flashing red> solid red> then nothing > and repeat.. trying to hard reset react sometimes and the red reset button does nothing.connecting it to the computer would make the "connected" sound then constantly play the "disconnect" sound.. nothing shows up in hardware management.
the good thing is i called sony on dec26 and recently got an RMA number, didnt have proof of purchase since it was a gift and the rep told me my warranty is still there so i sent it in and they just received it today, hopefully ill get a working zxu back soon.

First of all, this should be posted in the FAQ section, not here. To help you fix this can you please answer these questions?
1- What do you mean by Flashtool and PC companion "does not work"? What error messages do you get from each?
2- How do you use Flashtool? In Falsh mode or fastboot mode?
3- What is the version of your flashtool?

Please copy and paste your Flashtool log here, or attach it as a file.
OR:
Follow this instruction VERY CAREFULLY.
1- Disconnect your phone from the computer and turn it off completely.
2- Find and download an FTF that is specifically for your device. For example if your device is a C6833 find an FTF specifically for that model. You can find a ton of these FTFs in the general forum.
3- Make sure your Flashtool version is exactly 0.9.18.6. If not, uninstall it and install 0.9.18.6.
4- Run Flashtool and click on the icon that looks like a spark (flash device). Choose flash mode.
5- Navigate to the directory where the FTF is and select the directory.
6- You should see the contents of the FTF appear in the dialog window. Under "Wipe" select all of them (APPSLOG, DATA, and CACHE).
7- Click on flash and let the program do its work. Wait until it prompts you to connect the phone.
8- When prompted, hold the volume down key and then connect the phone to the USB port of the computer. Keep holding the key down until you see the flash starting. Wait until it completes.
If you get an error in any step, CLEARLY describe what fails AND include the error message by posting the log or a snapshot of your screen. If you just say "it didn't work" I won't be able to help.
Tried this very carefully but get this error!

Thanks for trying help
You are not using the version of flashtool that najoor told you to use.
DOWNLOAD VERSION 9.18.6, the latest version is causing that error.

If the phone not have enough battery do the following:
1- Makes sure it is turned off. To do so you can hold the power and volume up buttons simultaneously for a few seconds and then you will feel a vibration and then the phone will turn off.
2- leave the phone connected to a charger for about 10 hours.
If that doesn't charge the phone you will have to take it to a Sony repir center.

I am sorry I'm trying to help you, but unfortunately I don't understand your sentence.
I looked at the log that you posted. it seems that when you connect your phone to the computer in step 8, the phone is not turned off.
Try turning the phone off again the way I told you. When you are turning it off if should not be connected to the computer or charger. Otherwise it turns right back on.
And don't worry about heating. After the phone is turned off you can connect it to the charger for many hours.
Don't try anything new. Just follow the instructions I gave you.

Once you got into android modding, an unrooted phone becomes almost useless.
Now my problem is that I´ve got one.
Couple of days ago my Elephone P9000 arrived from amazon but I can´t connect it to a PC since it says that no device is detected.
Yes, the drivers are installed properly!
I thought that isn´t a problem because there is Kingroot.
Turns out the following rooting apps don´t work for me:
Kingroot (Kingoroot), iRoot, z4root, Framaroot, Towelroot, Oneclickroot, Universal Androot, Root Genius, Baidu
Custom Recovery isn´t installed because, of course, no root.
Now how do I root?

The first thing you need to accomplish is to get your PC to recognize your phone, rooting from there is going to make life easier, but yes, I know you already know that. If your using windows 10, maybe check this thread out on Elephone Forum:

Firstly is your PC finding your phone ok with the PC on? If yes.. all good - if no you need to sort this out first.
Then, ensure you have installed the MTK driver on your PC (these are the Media Tek drivers which will find your phone when it is off) instructions here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p9000/how-to/how-to-guideline-install-mtk-drivers-t3344042
Then flashtools should work fine with your phone off.
Just a tip using FlashTools (Im on windows 10 - I dont know if this applies to other windows)
In flashtools, press download first (without phone connected), give it 5 secs and then connect your phone to your PC with the volume up button pressed at the same time. Once you see FlashTools starting to flash your phone, release the volume button. I have to do this all the time in order for my phone to be found on Windows 10.

To start of, I am using Windows 10 as you do.
When I connect my phone when it´s turned on, I get the small icon in the taskbar that allows me to remove the device safely or open devices and printer.
There, my device is put to a section called not specified and it has a small yellow icon.
Only is it called "P9000" which is alright.
Windows explorer acts like no device is connected at all.
When I connect my phone as it is turned off, I still get the notification "USB Device wasn´t recognized." and
windows explorer still doesn´t care as well as the flash tool.
The link you gave me isn´t the one I previously used to install the drivers so I gave it a try.
There are two different ways mentioned in the posts #1 and #4 so I started with the first one.
(Spoiler: Both don´t work for me!)
Everything worked until a step almost at the end where I am told to connect my off-switched phone to the pc.
The tutorial tells me that there should now be a preloader unknown device or something at Device Manager > Ports (COM & LPT) that I would need to proceed further.
I didn´t get that one.
Dead end for me so I went on to the next tutorial in post #4.
In that post I am told to remove a MTK USB Port at Device Manager > Ports (COM & LPT) right after installing the .inf driver files (Yes, I installed the 64 bit version and do have a 64 bit PC).
Ignoring that step didn´t help any of the problems I had before so I got a dead end here, too.
The "Volume-Up-Trick" did help me neither, probably cause of the not working drivers.

Ok first things first, lets make sure your P9000 is fine with your phone on. You said:

(make sure in dev options on your phone USB debugging is ON and USB config is MTP)
So from that you simply need to (In Device Manager) right click > Update Driver Software > Browse My PC for Driver Software > Let me pick from a list of device drivers from my PC > then choose MTP USB Device
Once windows installs this, a box should pop up showing your P9000 internal storage and SD Card (if you have one in phone)
To ensure that your PC is now finding your phone ok, restart PC and plug your phone in - you should be prompted by windows to choose a default action when this device is connected (I choose transfer files or something similar). Then everytime you connect your phone, a box will pop up showing allowing you to access your P9000.
Now onto when your P9000 is switched off... (the important part for flashing etc)
I followed the instructions at post #4 as I believe due to the anniversary update on windows 10 (the January update I believe) .. if you do not have the January update installed on your PC you would use the instructions #1
Don't worry too much if you receive "USB device not recognised" initially, (from what I have understood this is normal with the Anniversary addition of windows 10) it should disappear after few seconds or so. From what I worked out following post #4 you are kinda installing a MTK device (just so you can install the drivers) and then uninstalling that device BUT keeping the drivers installed (its VERY important when you uninstall the device you untick the delete drivers too, otherwise you have essentially deleted the MTK drivers & would have to start from scratch from post #4)
For me, when I connect my p9000 when its off it still shows "USB device not recognised", then after a few seconds this goes away and I dont have any errors under Device Manager > Ports (COM & LPT) & flashtools works fine as long as I press vol up as I connect my phone.
Hope this helps, I had a headache when I tried to install MTK drivers with my windows 10 (Anniversay Update Edition) - good luck, it was kinda trial and error

I am running the Anniversay Update Edition and don´t get an popup window when connecting my phone turned on.
As far is I can tell, a working connection with the device running is more important in the first place.
Now I don´t quite understand your instructions at this point:

In Device Manager right click, but where?
Blank space? Definetly not.
According to the linked tutorial, I´d have to right click on something like "unknown device" or something similar.
But that doesn´t show up in my list.

I can understand the point but after installing that driver package, there is no MTK device in my device manager that I could uninstall.
I seriously need to thank you for wasting so much time on me:angel:
When you plug your p9000 (while its turned on) into your laptop/pc... in Device Manager, probably under Universal serial Bus Controllers do you see a unknown device, or anything with a question mark / unknown device beside it ? If so, that's where you right click and follow instructions above to get your PC to recognize your handset. At this point just concentrate on getting pc to recognise while its on, then hopefully we can then move to setting up when its off.

Well, that solved all of my problems...
Almost...
Drivers are fully working for me now so I wanted to flash TWRP with SP Flash Tool to be able to flash the superuser .zip file.
Since drivers work now, flash tool started flashing and gave me the error you can see in the attached screenshot.
Fortunately, my phone isn´t bricked or anything.
Edit: After a couple of reboots of all my devices, I get back to where I was before: USB Device wasn´t recognized and Flash Tool doesn´t do anything.

All cool & its an easy thing to miss when your not looking for it (or for that matter if you dont know that menu even existed)
That error is a preloading error, I'm assuming your flashing TWRP Recovery and like you I had similar issue - I shared a simple solution here that worked for me here (it should work fine as long as you are on Stock Elephone 2016810 Base onwards so I believe, Elephone changed the preloader or something like that in later ROMS)
So Basically, you download the Stock Elephone 2016810 Base ROM from HERE & unzip
Grab Flash Tools ver v5.1612 (if your not using that version) HERE - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424940027
Then download TWRP_3.0.2.8.zip HERE & unzip
Copy the the "MT6755_Android_scatter" & "recovery.img" from TWRP_3.0.2.8 folder into the Elephone_P9000_2016810 Rom folder.
In Splash Tools, first flash the Elephone_P9000_2016810 Rom open "MT6755_Android_scatter" from _810 file & ensure the recovery section location points to "recovery.img" in the _810 folder also
Once your stock _810 ROM is flashed successfully, you then flash TWRP (with only recovery ticked) and ensure the recovery location points to "recovery_TWRP_3028_P9000" and your TWRP should flash fine. Make sure your using Flash Tools ver v5.1612, that worked fine for me.
There maybe an easier solution someone can point you too, but I know this worked for me no problems - you should now have TWRP recovery on stock _810 ready for you to flash your chosen ROM

Once your stock _810 ROM is flashed successfully, you then flash TWRP (with only recovery ticked) and ensure the recovery location points to "recovery_TWRP_3028_P9000" and your TWRP should flash fine. Make sure your using Flash Tools ver v5.1612, that worked fine for me.
There maybe an easier solution someone can point you too, but I know this worked for me no problems - you should now have TWRP recovery on stock _810 ready for you to flash your chosen ROM

I´m going to try this now.
Do I have to go back to Stock 20160810 if I have 20161107?

I guess if you download the 20161107 ROM it should work, I'm really unsure, its a newer ROM so I guess it should

It didn´t work.
I did all the steps you´ve told me and ended up with the exact same problem I´ve experienced before: USB Device not recognized and SP Flash Tool doesn´t do anything after pressing the download button.
I was going to reinstall the drivers like you told me form post #4 here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p9000/how-to/how-to-guideline-install-mtk-drivers-t3344042
That didn´t do anything, I still have the same problem of my pc not recognizing my phone.
At least connecting my phone when it´s running works now.
you have to press and keep vol + when connecting the turned off phone to the computer after clicking download in FlashTools.

MMmmm .. have you tried a different USB port? maybe a different lead if you have one? (I have two leads and I know one doesnt work for me, dunno why)
Also, after pressing download in SplashTools.. count to say 7-10 secs and then press Vol UP and connect your phone.... (I know this sounds bit stupid, but it works for me, if I connect straioght away I get errors too ref driver )

No, that doesn´t help either.
I think it has to do something with installing the drivers cause after installing them, in Device Manager no new drivers are displayed except for two Mediatek Preloader USB VCOM Port (COM5) and (COM6).
But those only become visible when I check "show hidden devices".
The tutorial said that some more things should have been installed but I didn´t get any error messages so I don´t understand what shouldn´t have worked.
Sorry Im at a loss really, maybe follow this tutorial my brother followed to reinstall the MTK and try again with all the above steps, good luck

Make sure your PC is in driver signature disable mode when flashing etc btw

Didn´t help either.
Current state:
Phone On > Everything working, I get the popup window and data transfer works :good:
Phone Off > USB wasn´t recognized, Flash Tool isn´t working, no recognition in windows explorer, phone is charging, vol+ doesn´t help
MTP and USB Debugging are activated
While installing the drivers I got no error messages and everything looked same as in the tutorial

Good to hear you can atleast use your phone to transfer etc while on
Just curious (although Im sure you have followed the video / other tutorials to the letter) but
(1) did you ensure when following video tut that when uninstalling the legacy device you unticked the driver box to ensure the drivers were actually kept installed?
(2) Check Device Manager, under the Ports (COM & LPT) section and remember you shouldn't have anything referring to a MTK device in there - ie like MTK USB Port (Com 3) ? (If you have it needs uninstalling)
(3) Seems obvious I know but you are connecting your phone and using FlashTools when your Windows Driver Enforcement is disabled? ( Literally restarting with advanced options & choosng Disbale Driver Enforcement) Many users think once you have installed the driver you can use it with Windows Drivers enforcement enabled, but you have to be in disabled mode.
Finally if you doubled checked all of those, then maybe try a different version of FlashTools (worth a try) and also try running FlashTools as Administrator when you open it - good luck
