remove the back cover and remove the battery and goodbye again after SPFT

battery is non removeable he might risk totally destroying phone if one of those ribbons goes.

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

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.
some more info here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32424838&postcount=616
and a link to rua1's russian thread on the subject, translation with google chrome is not very good but there are some pics throughout the thread that might be helpful.... http://forum.china-iphone.ru/test-pointi-dlya-proshivki-preloader-na-mt6573-75-77-t22559.html

I have the exact same issue. Flashing stock S124 after (rooted) S223 with SpTools messes something up.
I managed to do a TWRP restore to go back to S221 but I can't use SpTools anymore.
I get the same SpTools error message. Only after pressing the red reset button my phone will then come back to life.

Your preloader seems to be messet up. I have one problem the same like yours yesterday. It took like 4 hours to solve the problem. The problem was like this:
The computer was not recognizing the phone when the phone was powered off. Sooo.. what i did: i opened device manager in the computer, then i attached the phone. Something new has appeared in the device manager for a seccond. I clicked fast on it. A small window hass appeared. From this step i was safe. I just updated the driver and that wass it. I could flash the ROM i wanted.
Hope this helps you.

Thanks for your explanation, you seem to be the absolute guru on this site for this device! I think you are right about the preloader being messed up. I tried to install the USB driver (again) for the new device that the computer now sees. It is listed in the device manager as "Unknown Device" under USB controllers. I can't seem to force it to accept new USB drivers for it (Lenovo drivers). It keeps saying that the driver is not compatible with the device. I use Win 7 64bit, could that have something to do with it? Also is it possible to flash a new preloader using TWRP? If I press the reset button on my phone it reboots fine (rooted S221) and I have TWRP installed.

Here are the drivers i use! Hope this will help you!
Soo.. i never tried to flash preloader from TWRP. Thats an ideea, but you have to do a full backup of your phone... i think...
When i have preloader problems i flash again the whole ROM. I think is safer, better... and wize.

Thanks for the drivers, I am still struggling to make this "Unknown Device" accept other drivers. What was your unrecognised phone called in Device Manager? Was it also "Unknown Device" in the USB section?

Hi. The think was someting like this:
First i installed the .exe file. Reboot PC.
2. I have plugged the phone to the PC and new hardware wizard has appeared.
3. Now i have powered of the phone.
4. Again i have plugged the phone this time powered off.
5. At this time in Device Manager appeared for a second or two not in USB area something with.. MTK65...
6. Click very fast on it because that will desapear very fast.
7. After you clicked on it all you have to do is update driver, and voila you have drivers installed and now all you have to do is to flash you ROM.
Hope this will help you.
Good luck.

Lenovo P780 SoftBrick

Hey Guys
I bricked my P780 and didnt do a backup. I formated the phone with SpFlashTool, afterwards the Flashing didnt work. And a second format didnt work too.
Now i tried nearly every possible tutorial on the web...
I am using win7
My main problem is that i am using SpFlashTool (newest version) and i get an 4032 Error if i try to download the rom.
I tried nearly every Rom for the p780 with every possible scatter file.
I tried nearly every MediaTek DA VCOM USB Driver, MediaTek PreLoader VCOM USB Driver and MTK USB Port Driver and always with no success.
I even plugged out the battery (its not removable) without damaging the phone...

Hi. Because you have formated your nand you must reinstall your drivers, because your preloader now is messed up.
In order to do that you must do this:
1. Install drivers.
2. Go to device manager and let the window open.
3. Connect your phone and new hardware should appear for just a seccond or 2 max, something with MTK 6.5.XXX.
4. Click very fast on the little new thing that appear there because will desapear.
5. Now press the button to update drivers hardware. In one of my posts you will find an archive with the right drivers. Drivers are on the archive uploaded here.
6. After the drivers are installed your PC should recognize the phone.
7. After this the steps should be the same to flash your ROM. Oh and by the way: Press Firmware Upgrade button not Download. And dont forget to check DA/DL With Checksum... option
8. Waiting for feedback.
9. Good Luck.

[Q] Google Calendar not syncing (VIBEUI 2)

Hi,
I installed Lenovo P780 VibeUI 2.0 version: VIBEUI_V2.0_1512_DEV_P780 and gapps-kk-20150404-minimal-edition-signed.zip.
Then I installed Google Calendar from Play Store. Unfortunately it doesn't sync. If I go to settings/accounts/google there is no "google calendar data" option to choose.

Unfortunately I used [GApps][4.4.2][AROMA]_Aroma_Installer_GApps-v1.5.2 and didn't wipe data before/after. After rebooting the phone got "Lenovo launcher stopped, must be closed". After swithching the phone off and on end up with an infinite bootloop.
I rebooted the phone into recovery mode and wiped data, cache and dalvik and tried to reinstall VIBEUI_V2.0_1512_DEV_P780. After the first launch there is only a chinese text (I guess it might be some error, after clicking the button the same error apears again and again).
I tried to flash a custom revovery (as I end up with a Lenovo-Recovery with nothing to do) with a Flash Tool V5.13.52.200 as described in other thread but after clicking "download" and connecting the phone nothing happens (phone shows red light and a battery charge screen). The phone is recognized by the PC (Win 7) as even after turning the phone on again it is possible to upload files to the SD card using windows explorer.

My device is detected by my computer as I am able to copy files to SD card using windows explorer. I plug the phone and I see "Lenovo P780" in My Computer, then I open it and get access to internal memory and SD card.
BUT - I do not see it in the Device Manager at all... Maybe I will try to do it on the other Windows computer?

Hi. You are lucky. Your phone is detected by your computer !
All you have to do is to flash a custom recovery TWRP CN Version.
After this you could download your firmware again and put it on sd card ! reboot to recovery wipe and reflash your firmware !

troubleshooting to connect the phone to the PC

Hi all,
by cons for several weeks I've a concern with my redmi Note 2 and I can't find the answer to my problem on the forum or even the Internet.
Since the last update 7.2.2 (global) I have the Recovery MIUI who crushed the TWRP. I changed to test 6.3.17. The update to the .24 went wrong and I don't know why. Since the phone is bootloop. But the problem is that my phone is not recognized by any PC. I tried several PCs, several cables, several drivers, with or without the Fastboot, unable to connect. Therefore impossible to load a new version. I don't think it's material problem because the phone recharge well with a cable to the socket.
Is there another handling or debug decision to restart the phone? I'm in France for information.
thank you in advance if you can point me to a solution !
Hope someone can help me.
Manu
Can the phone boot to miui recovery? If so, you should be able to use miui recovery to flash TWRP (I think you will need one with a signed install zip). You only need to take out the external SD, put it in one of those cheap USB card readers, copy your recovery and ROM to the SD, put it back in the phone, flash TWRP with miui recovery, and then flash the ROM with TWRP (I am assuming that miui recovery can install things from the external SD - if not, then none of this will work).
Hi Bro,
Yes it boot in MIUI recovery but impossible to get access to the SD Card...
I tried to put the file on the SD card but you can't choose the path, I think the recovery will look only in the internal memory ... And as I can't access the internal memory..
I despair !!
Thanks o lot for your help

Of course yes but the real problem is that the phone is not recognized by the PC and therefore can't load anything ...

So, when the battery is removed, and you connect the USB cable, the phone is not even vibrating (and making that weird sound) every couple of seconds or so?
Yes you're right : every 10s the phone vibrate...

Well, then it is very strange that you can't use the SP Flash Tool. If the phone vibrates, then the device is recognised, and you should be able to flash anything you want with the SP Flash Tool! How exactly were you trying to use the Flash Tool?
I tried so many solutions I really don't know exactly how I used the software.
I will again try everything.
But against any changes when I look in the USB settings of the PC, the phone doesn't appear.
I try again just now, thank you for your help.

With the SP Flash Tool, all you need is the correct "scatter" file (MT6795_Android_scatter.txt), and the image(s) that you want to flash. If the phone is vibrating, then the SP Flash Tool should be able to connect to it when you click "Download". Just make sure that you first untick everything that you do NOT want to flash. I would try flashing the boot image (boot.img) first. If that succeeds, then try the TWRP recovery image.
Ok. I'm going to try again with "http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=196175&highlight=sp%2Btool%2Bflash%2Bredmi%2Bnote%2B2"

Strange! I am assuming that when you connect the phone with the USB cable, the battery has been removed from the phone? If so, then it should work.
Perhaps you should try first connecting the phone, and then waiting until it has vibrated once or twice, before clicking the "Download" button?
Yes I removed battery before connect the phone to PC. I tried also with battery and nothing changed.
I even changed the cable to be sure.
Which seems to me most strange is that I see nothing in the device manager, as if the phone wasn't connected. Whatever the installed driver is the same result. I think it should at least have the phone on the COM or USB port ...
I will try again this night to be sure with all steps one by one. And I will also try with ACER tablet I and runs Android 5.1. Maybe it will be recognized.
Otherwise I also tried to pass a Linux PC as a last resort.
Thanks again for your help.

Yes, it should. The fact that the phone vibrates when connected indicates that the PC and phone are communicating - but it may well be that a low-level driver in the phone has been overwritten (which may mean that this is a lost cause). A final idea - can miui recovery access usbotg?
Hum good question. In fact I don't know. I'll ask the MIUI forum.
I got home late from work so I don't do tests tonight, I'd see it all tomorrow including the connection with my tablet ...

Can be a micro crack on the USB plug into the phone if it's not a software problem ... Let's go for it apart and look at this ...

I don't think it is a crack on the USB plug. It seems to me to be a low-level driver problem - ie, the drivers on the phone that are active when the phone is not (fully) booted up. I don't have the right terminology for these drivers, but they are possibly part of the bootloader. If that is the problem, then I don't know how you would solve this problem.
