When you have flashed, did you uncheck the preloader?

Horrible custom rom? Ummm which one?

I couldn't do anything, PayPal accepted to give the money back cause they didn't say any where that the software wasn't original.
Thanks to anyone

Iocean X7 Elite Bricked ('BROM ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL(4032))

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.

I've had the same problem with the following installation Sp Tools
SP_Flash_Tool_exe_v3.1316.0.150

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.

Yes, you got it
SP Flash Tool couldn't find my phone, but now it works
It's exactly a windoze driver problem.
Going to devicemanagement, in LAN-Devices I a had an Alcatel device,
chosing driver by hand and use the mtk usb driver, now Flashtool finds the phone

SP Flash tool - Completely Dead Phone (UMI X2)

Hi, I was trying to use Flash tool and Don't know what happend but My Phone is completely DEAD right now even power button is also not working no screen is there (just blank phone).
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!

Try this version of :
SP Flash Tool
October Official Rom

Works for me.
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

Formatted internal disk drive in Redmi prime 2-bricked

Hi,
When i am trying install custom ROM using TWRP in my redmi 2 prime phone ,it got strucked it between the process. So my phone got bricked.
So i tried to install via Mi flash tool with stable ROM of MIUI .But unfortunately there are many disk drives opened with the request to format drive when i am connecting my phone with Mi flash tool for the first time.
By mistake i have formatted one disk drive (which had 512 kb size) and it is successfully done
After formatting only i got to its something importent which is need not to be touched. Because my phone is totally dead after this format.
But now i can able to connect my phone using USB cable and the phone is detectable by computer in MI flash tool. But I am unable to flash the phone with stable ROM as the tool showing the error of "hello packet can not be reached". After the error msg the flashing has stopped .
Is there any experienced developers to help me to solve this issue and bring back my phone

Help Please! need to unbrick a Blu Vivo 5 Mini!!

Hello guys!
I've been trying and reading as much as possible and I haven't been able to bring my Viyo 5 Mini back to life, using SP FLASH TOOL, I have installed the drivers many times and in many different ways but nothing.
After a while looking up I found somwhere somebody said to deactivate the antivirus, I did it and it worked out but my phone ended up without IMEI and with the NVRAM error, so as it worked ONCE I tried to install a recovery to root it and fix these problems, but I got it bricked again, I tought I could rescue it again but after this it doesnn't work, the pc does the sound when I plug the phone but the SP Flash Tool does not start.
I install the drivers and they appear on Device Manager but they have the code 10 error saying the devices cant't start, only ONE works, the one that says Preload.
please someone help me I'm going crazy, I'm not very good at this but I used to handle it very well, it's this phone that is giving me trouble.
my pc it's on 64 bit and win 8, in case that info matters a lot, I have also tried running the SP Flash tool on XP (SP3) commpability
I have been switching the driver of the only device that seems to work to the others to see but still nothing.
thanks in advance for any help
the phone version again is Blu Vivo 5 Mini V050Q
