I tried flashing the stock rom onto my Elephone P9000 with sp tools. I followed all the steps correctly as I have done in the past. Sp flash tools downloads the rom and says it is a success but yet when attempting to boot the phone, the screen turns on and remains blank. No logo or recovery. Recently I tried flashing TWRP onto the device and that also did not work, when attempting to open recovery mode, the device just rebooted a couple of times, so I left it and forgot about it. I have managed to successfully flash the stock rom in the past but since I sent off my phone to have it's screen replaced, flashing no longer seems to work. I have tried flashing with battery in and out. And i've unplugged cables and replugged them inside the phone, checking for loose connections. If it also makes a difference, since the screen repair, the wireless charging does not seem to work.
If anyone can offer any advice it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all, long time browser of XDA, first time poster. Up until now, every phone I've had, I've found the answers on this forum. I recently picked up a Samsung Galaxy Mega (SGH-I527M) which was non functional due to what I believe was an interrupted OTA update. When I first turned it on it said ']image size too large!! w:1080 h:1920 display image fail secure fail: kernel' I downloaded stock 4.4.2 from the sammobile website, and flashed it through odin, this got rid of the message, but sent the phone into a bootloop, I couldnt enter recovery, couldn't boot, just download mode. I then tried to use the Kies software to recover it, which brought back the image size error again. Anything stock i try to flash from sammobile results in a bootloop, the only rom that boots is a pre rooted stock 4.2.2. However, with this rom I have no wifi, bluetooth, sound, or USB. In an attempt to fix this I flashed the modem file from a 4.4.2 pre rooted stock rom. This returned my sound and bluetooth, but i still cant enable wifi, and no computer ive tried can connect to the phone via usb. As of now, I still have no wifi or usb. The hardware is completely fine, according to the previous owner, it worked right up until the failed flash. I've been trying to figure this out for 2 days straight now, and I'm at a loss. Does anybody have any ideas what might be causing this? I very much appreciate any help with this situation

Thank you for your reply. I had already tried the ROM from that thread to no avail. However, I did manage to restore this phone to working order. It turns out that all of my issues stemmed from an aftermarket screen replacement. Upon searching various forums, I cam! e across one that said to unplug the screen, boot the phone, and plug it back in once the screen would have normally timed out. Lo and behold, the LED turned blue and it didnt bootloop. Upon plugging the screen back in I was presented with my lockscreen, with no touch response. That confirmed my suspicions of an aftermarket screen. Browsing the web with new leads, I came across a video explaining how to fix, flashed megafire v16 as suggested, and the phone lives again! Seems samsung doesnt like when they cant take you for more money on OEM parts
Thanks again for the reply, and may I say just how lost I'd be without XDA?
Hi,
I need a stock/factory ROM or any custom ROM that works for this phone : Yezz Andy AZ4.5
The phone can be flashed but i was unable to find a working ROM for it.
I tried to get the current file before flashing it, but nothing was accessible. Nothing except SP Flash Tool was able to access the phone.
It's an MT6572 chipset. I've flashed it with a similar ROM, when holding the home button, the phone vibrate, but the screen doesn't turn on, so i can't tell if it really boots or not.
Probably, nobody has access to this phone, but this is mostly my last chance to restore it with the stock rom. Or if anyone can create any compatible rom
Thanks guys !
Edit : After some research, the rom i'm using might be working, but the lk.bin (i've read that it contains some drivers) file doesn't have the correct lcd driver. So, it might boot, but nothing can prove it.
Edit 2 : With headphones, I can hear the boot sound (I checked on the net, it's the same). I'm flashing different lk.bin (uboot image) files and testing if the phone boots. With some, I get a screen with lines and it boots, with some other, I get a white screen but it crash during the sound and it tries to boot again.
I need help with unbricking my Ulefone Power 2.
First, a few words about how the issue came to be: I bought the phone two days ago and after bringing it back home, and powering it on, I noticed that the icons were not the same as the ones that were on the displayed phone's screen (although I found the new ones to be an improvement, I thought that maybe I have to install "the official ROM" no matter how unattractive it was, as the phone would probably work better with it).
So I went to the official ulefone site, saw the instructions for installing the drivers for windows 10 as being fairly easy to do myself, and downloaded the sp flash tool provided on the site and then, of course, downloaded the official stock rom from the ulefone site.
After installing the drivers, I tried to flash the phone and then the first error happened. Naturally, I sought the answers on Google, as any proper boy scout should, and learned in the process that I should hold volume up while connecting the phone.
And it worked!
Alas, my happiness wouldn't last long as another error decided to stand in my way. BROM Error: sec imghdr type mismatch. Of course, I took another trip to Google's search bar.
Then I tried many different solutions, those being:
Downloading Sp flash tool v3 instead of v5 and trying to flash with that one - this one asks something like if I'm sure that my scatter file is legal (how it cannot be, I don't know as it was downloaded from theanufacturer's site). Regardless, i clicked download but it couldn't recognize my phone I guess as nothing was happening when I plugged it in)
Afterwards I tried to format the phone using the sp flash tool v5 and then flash the ROM onto my phone but that also did not work (with the exact same error as last time - imghdr type mismatch).
Now I have a phone that cannot power up and when plugged in it constantly connects/disconnects regardless of me holding down the volume up button (could be that I'm holding down the wrong button).
Please, is there anyone who can help me unbrick my phone? I just want to flash the stock ROM onto it, that's all
Hello,
The last week or so I have been trying to flash TWRP onto my Samsung Galaxy A40 (SM-A405FN) to install LineageOS. However, as I started following different guides and methods I have run into several problems that I can't get around and I was wondering if anyone here has had a similar experience or knows the solution.
The first problem I ran into was that when trying to flash onto the phone, neither ADB nor Fastboot detected the phone in download mode (when it was turned on normally they did). I tried various things to solve it: uninstalling and reinstalling different drivers, trying to find the device in device manager (it wasn't there) and nothing worked. I got around it, however, using Odin to flash. Odin did recognize the phone. I had already unlocked the bootloader and made sure VaultKeeper didn't lock it again. I believe it is fully unlocked now, I have even waited the week period to remove the RMM thing (I'm not entirely sure what it is and if I've done it properly, it's been a while since I've messed with android, but it used to display "KG state: checking" and now it's gone).
So, with Odin recognizing the phone I tried to flash the official TWRP recovery for it, following the instructions on the website. However, after flashing it, the phone bricks and boots into download mode all the time, with the error "Error validating footer (6)" on the top left corner. I have googled far and wide and the only solution I find is to reflash the stock ROM. Of course, this works, but I would like to be able to install LineageOS on the phone.
Thank you for in advance and let me know if you need more information or pictures of some sort.

Hi all
First off I'm definitely a noob and it might be in the wrong place?
I'll start off by saying thanks for any support I my get.
Tryed to make a / i.e put in a TWR recovery
and got sent into a crash dump.
Now when I turn on the phone it stays in fast food Mode.
I've tried a multitude of tutorials to no avail.
The phone does have an unlocked bootloader done correctly, pretty sure. It's not rooted that was what I was trying to do. I'm running Ubuntu the latest version on a laptop and I'm seeking help to unbrick my poor new phone. I can perform tasks like getting log files and have even tried reflashing boot.images etc with success but not booting back into recovery where I could flash its oos, just end up in fast boot mode again.
I used bugjaeger at first with an OTG cable and another phone to flash custom recovery.
If somebody has a tutorial assuming that the partitions may be harshed on or needing something I'm unaware of or whatnot I'd be beyond appreciative...
Thank you for your time!
