[Q] Phone not starting after unsuccessful flashing - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
I have a rooted Micromax A58 which was perfectly working. I did a full nandroid backup of it 2 days ago. On yesterday, I was moving some system app (google maps, play store etc) to SD with some software) so that I could increase the internal memory and install some other softwares. But, unfortunately, after that modification, the phone stopped working properly (it was stucking up when the BOLT logo was reached). So, I started it in recovery and do a wipe cache and factory reset. After that, the phone is always going to Factory Mode.
Then I tried to Flash the Stock ROM using Flash Tool but was unsuccessful multiple times. After the scatter file selected, when I clicked the 'Download' (or even firmware upgrade), all time time, the phone was disconnecting/reconnecting every now and then and nothing happened after (even though I already installed the Vcom and PdaNet driver in the PC). So, I had to quit. I am attaching herewith the logs of the Flash Tool lastly tried.
Now, when I am starting the phone power button, nothing is happening.. NOTHING but black screen...
I am a bit worried.. your help very much appreciated. Please let me know for any information needed. Thanks.

'No com port detected' error
I tried another time and the problem still there.. When in SP Flash Tool, I select scatter file, click 'Download' and connect the phone to PC, the process doesn't progress further. So, I have to finally click 'Stop' to quit. In the logs, it shows--
"No com port detected.."
Attaching the trace logs file herewith.
Please advice how to resolve the issue.. I am totally stuck now. Thanks.

Hello Kapil,
Thanks for the response. Yesterday I tried with separate laptop, but the same problem was there. Today, I tried with the different USB port.. but didn't help.
It seems that the driver can not recognize the device and when I connect the phone, it is just in a loop of disconnecting/re-connecting. Please advice further. Thanks.

Only option now seems is Service Centre.
The guys are pretty dumb. I've tested samsung motorola etc.....they don't even know what root is.
Maybe they'll be unable to identify what you tried to do.
You can give any reason for it not functioning.
Good luck.

Thank you Kapil for the advice. As Micromax service centre is not having a good reputation regarding these, so I would go for that option as the last resort.
Before that, can I please ask the other members for giving further advice if there is any option to try with.. Thanks for your help.

Managed to get phone reconized in PC usb-pls help further

I have managed to get the phone recognized by PC usb now. But, when I try try the SP Flash utility to either Format or Download or Firmware update etc, it is throwing error like below--

I tried the above multiple times but everytime same error as above.
When tried to connect the phone (without battery) it is disconnect/reconnect in an endless loop.
When try to connect with battery, the disconnect/reconnect loop is gone (i.e.-stable) but sometime it can not identity phone ('Unknown Device').
Also tried to press volume down button along with battery inside, but showing 'Unknown Device' and Flash tool getting hanged.
I used the Stock Rom downloaded from xda site for my phone detailed below---
Android 4.2.2
Model Micromax A58
BaseBand version- MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V1.P11 2013/09/04 15:51

I also have the good nandroid backup (if it could be of any use) but phone is dead now. Confused how to go forward. Please help.

In the meanwhile, when trying to resolve the issue, I tried the following steps and after that, I lastly managed to 'download' the Stock ROM successfully in my phone (using the Windows XP OS)--
1) As I was always getting the SP Flash Tool error 4032 for last couple of days and which was clearly describing 'please check your load matches your target which is to be downloaded', so was investigating the root cause in details. Upon searching in the internet, I downloaded multiple version of Stock ROMs for my Micromax A58 model from different sources to give a try. When trying to 'Download' (in SP Flash Tool), the 'T_09' ROM (link given by 'alanvmathew') in the below mentioned URL worked for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2610046&page=2
It is to be noted from the link that Micromax A58 model have 2 different Stock ROMs (i.e.- 'T_07' and 'T_09') which info I was missing all the time.
2) After identifying the scatter file in the SP Flash Tool and clicking the 'Download' option, I inserted battery in the phone and pressing the 'Power + Volume down' button, connected the device into the PC USB. Upon connected, the 'DA USB VCOM PORT' driver automatically installed and the 'Download' started and flashing of ROM went smooth. Finally, it ended up with green 'Download OK' message. Also attaching the snapshots herewith.
Will check the mobile and its performance further and revert back accordingly.

On my phone, mine has the same chip as yours, to flash in preloader mode, I do it in this order,
1 connect phone to pc via usb with battery removed,
2 load flashtool with scatterfile and rom to flash,
3 click on download in flashtool,
4 put battery into phone
SPflashtool then searches for the preloader driver, loads it briefly and then loads the DA Usb Vcom port driver and then proceeds with flashing
This will only work if you have the usb vcom preloader drivers installed on your pc
To check if you have preloader driver installed, open device manager on your pc, connect your phone with usb cable and battery removed, put in battery while watching device manager, if driver is installed you should see 'Preloader Usb Vcom port' appear in the ports section,
but it will only be there for a few seconds, and will dissappear again. If you do not see this you need to install the Vcom driver.
Hope this helps
you help me a lot man !!!!!

Do you see the preloader driver in device manager when you connect your phone as I described above?
Which build of SPflashtool are you using? the tool is quite buggy and sometimes helps to try another version

any One what i can do now ??!!!
Help for god sake !!
Ok, i think the only way your going to unbrick your phone is to flash the exact correct rom for it, Do you have a copy of the stock rom for your phone suitable for SPflashtool?
The link that you show is for a Feiteng H9500, that is very unlikely that it will work on your phone, the reason your phone is bricked is because you have probably flashed the wrong preloader block, and that is whats causing the trouble, you need to make sure you have the correct rom for your device before you start.
I think the only time you had a little success is when you accidentally entered preloader mode and if it were my phone I would concentrate on getting the preloader driver installed. There are some tutorials on here to install the drivers, it can be a bit tricky, and not all mediatek devices are the same, so a bit of trial and error may be needed
Once you have the Preloader usb vcom drivers installed I would then attempt to flash just the preloader and dsp_bl blocks initially from the correct rom for your phone, and then if successful flash the remainder of the rom, without preloader and dsp_bl
If you flash the wrong preloader/dsp_bl you will almost certainly brick your phone, so it must be either from a backup you have made of your original rom or from the exact stock rom for your phone.

So the preloader vcom driver is installed ok on your pc, but you do not see it when you connect your phone, maybe you need to connect in a different way, on my phone I have to connect switched off phone with the battery removed, and when the battery is put in, then you see preloader driver pop up in device manager, there are many different MTK phones and different ways to connect.
The stock rom you have should be fine as long as it is the correct one for your device.

If your phone now is completely dead, probably your only hope of reviving it is by using the test point, see 'Modes of the virtual COM ports', here.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38369102&postcount=11
Ive never done this procedure, so cant help much with it, but if you search these threads for mediatek test point or similar, you might find some info on it

As I said, Ive never done this myself, only read about it and have no idea where the test point is on your phone, they all appear to be in different places, on an mt6577 I had previously it was easy to find, just by the sim slot, there was no need to even strip the phone down, but on most other models they all seem to be less accessible. It will be somewhere on the main board I would imagine, usually, but not always, a small round brass dot about 2mm accross, and I noticed while searching that some are marked 'KCOLO' or similar. I believe also from what I've read that the manufacturers use this method to input the factory rom, so it must be there somewhere, its just a question of locating it. The best method to find it apparently is by testing different points with a multimeter to find one that corresponds with your battery output.

whenever i use spflashtools to download a fresh stock rom to my phone, it always shows this problem
"BROM ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032)"
I've also tried to format it, but the same problem comes up.
Then I saw this vid. It's about fixing any bricked china phone.
"How to Unbrick every MTK China Phone ! Preloader / SP Flashtool Fix [HD]"
(pls search it on youtube if you like. somehow i couldn't post links.)
I don't know, but I think this vid is trying to fix those phones that aren't recognized by the PC. But mine is recognized. It comes up on the Device Manager as a MTK USB Port (COM10) with the battery on. But it keeps on getting disconnected and reconnected again. But this stops when I remove the battery, put the battery back on, click on download on the spflashtools, then connect the USB. The error will appear, but somehow the connection becomes stable.
Also this video talks about META mode. With the battery out, I tried all of the key combinations to enter this mode, without success whatsoever. If you know something, pls. share.

Hi!
I had the same issue 2 day before!
To fix it I was unable with windows,so I downloaded a spflashtool for linux. I started with sudo (root access) and made the same method with the windows version.Its worked for me! But wait one or two day,maybe somebody will know a solution with windows.
My Lenovo A7000 Does not turn on
While installing the official update marshmallow device switched of and then it does not turn on. If i put in charge then after sometime lenovo screen appears and the it shuts down again,. Cannot go to recovery mode also. The lenovo screen shows TOOL Dl image fail in the left bottom side.
How can i solve this problem Please someone help me:crying::crying::crying:

P9000 sudden death

Lately during the morning after having my P9000 charged overnight it suddenly shut down and after that was completely unresponsive:
I tried powering it back on but it wouldn't (neither by pressing the power button nor in combination with volume+ or any other button).
I tried charging it again but the LED isn't lighting up so I'm guessing it's not actually charging either.
Then I tried to reanimate it with SPFT but realized that the phone wasn't recognized by the pc. When I pressed the volume+ button it was recognized as "MediaTek USB Port (COM3)" for some seconds but then disappeared again.
Despite of that I tried to flash the stock ROM 20160810 (as well as others - no difference). Every time I get the same error:
BROM ERROR: STATUS_DA_HASH_MISMATCH (-1073283068)
Also I tried to flash preloader only, without any difference.
Then I opened the cover, removed the battery and tried again - nothing changed: The pc recognizes my phone only when I'm pressing volume+ but throws the error above when trying to flash.
Next I shortened the GND point on the phone's mainboard to any test points, but couldn't bring the pc to recognize the phone.
Any ideas...? Does someone know what the error message means? I know that DA stands for "download agent".
You haven’t said much about as to what you had done with this phone prior to your issue, whether you have left your P9000 as standard with OTA updates or perhaps you have rooted, flashed a different Rom or changed its Kernel ?
It’s hard for anyone to give help easily without some background from you.
You're right, I bought it two weeks ago as a used part. To my knowledge it was left as standard (previous owner didn't seem to be skilled too much since some of his folders remained on the phone) and as far as I remember the installed ROM was 20160810, although I'm not 100% sure since I'm also new to android / not experienced with ROM versions and didn't write it down. At the end I believe the phone had never been rooted or changed kernel.
Maybe worth mentioning: The last two days before failure I noticed that the phone restarted one or two times per day.
@brager
There are two possibilities (or more)
1. It's hard bricked, so Google for a mtk hard unbrick guide
2. It's a battery related problem
Keep it two days plugged, or replace it
Keep in mind that the newest mtk software has to be installed on your computer
And try another cable first of all

I've already performed all the steps in these mtk hard unbrick guides. I'm able to enter META mode but when I try to flash the preloader I get the error described above [BROM ERROR: STATUS_DA_HASH_MISMATCH (-1073283068)]

As far as I understand it flashing can/should be done without battery.

I was using SPFT 5.1524.00, now updated to SPFT 5.1628 and get nearly the same error: BROM ERROR: STATUS_DA_HASH_MISMATCH (0xC0070004)
And try another cable first of all

...didn't change anything.
I think the phone has a hardware problem and went to heaven.

Bluboo s1 SP flash help pretty please

Hello.
Everything has gone terribly wrong for my phone and I desperately need your help.
I downloaded what was stated on needrom.com I made sure MTK vcom was installed properly and had the correct rom from needrom.com but I still got Brom Error: STATUS_BROM_CMD_SEND_DA_FAIL in SP flash when using MTK_AllInOne_da.bin.
I then tried DA_PL.bin and got another error. I tried to uncheck preloader and run Download through SP flash with DA_PL.bin which worked just fine. However now I'm stuck at the Bluboo logo screen and phone does not load into android.
I still get Brom Error: STATUS_BROM_CMD_SEND_DA_FAIL in SP Flash if I use MTK_AllInOne_da.bin but if I use DA_PL.bin now I get this error:
Chip mismatch!
Scatter:MT6757D
device: MT6757
Please help me, my phone is bricked until one of you help me. I'd be forever grateful!

Don`t worry about that, first this is the link of the last update https://www.google.com/url?q=https:...ds-cse&usg=AFQjCNFJKeEcDClPU2MnxLJefaQ19GmQpQ
for more success put your folder of SPFlash Tool near to folder of your unpacked rom (for short transmission of data) and Bluboo S1 has a few different way to enter to other mtk cause battery it`s not removable like other just disconnect it and connect again; in this case connect cable usb to your device, prepare all the files in SPFlashTool and click download and now while pressing both volume + and - connect cord to pc till SPFlashTool begin to recognize files (red letters) and release now, SPFlashTool continues process till 100% in yellow progressing line

Thanks!!! It works!!!!
Just be very careful. The USB C connector port in the phone is very loose... so make sure you can hold the cable tight other wiser it will lose the connection and brick your phone. For me, I had to remove the Plastic cover to be able to hold the power cable tight!
Hi, could you help me please? I did your steps, but it is not working. Sp flash does all its job, shows the green sign, but the phone stills dead. What I noticed the usb connects with the phone, then it disconnects. I tried to install the drivers as the tutorials say like deactivating the driver signature enforcement, but nothig happens well.

Please, i need some help

You installed Moto usb drivers?

Download and read the manual for that moto phone. And then try a factory reset. Good luck to you.
