And ERROR : STATUS_EXCEED_NUM_MAX for rom global dev and china dev..please give me solution :crying::crying:
Thanks..

Can you get into the bootloader to use fastboot? Does that much work? If not, you may be in trouble
Also, are you positive you have the MTK driver installed correctly? I remember there being driver verification issues with Win10.

Can not enter fastboot or recovery mode .. I am using win 7 64bit .. And for the mtk driver I've tried to install repeatedly from various sources and in various ways but the result is the same.

If your repeatedly getting disconnect/reconnect I would suggest you use another USB cable or USB port because that's not normal.
If not then it may be a driver/PC issue.

Ok..I'm going to buy a new cable.

Still unresolved. I try memory test SPFT can run normally. Device manager detects as MediaTek DA vcom usb .. But if I format or flashing error message appears again .. STATUS_DA_HASH_MISMATCH.

Perhaps try downloading different firmware if you're getting a hash error?
I still think getting into fastboot is important...Since Official MIUI doesn't have a real recovery, you're better off installing TWRP and seeing if you can do something from within recovery.

Is your Rn4 a mtk device or snapdragon device???? Please check.
If it is mtk then u would require scatter file along with correct firmware.
And if it is a snapdragon device, u can flash most of the things through bootloader mode.
Hope it helps.

Working with MTK devices is bit tricky.
though you will get success, i Hope
If you are sure that your device is MTK, then ofcourse your bootloader mode will not work. So try to adopt this solution:
1. Get SPFlash Tool, the latest one. http://spflashtool.com/
2. Get MediaTek USB VCOM drivers. http://spflashtool.com/
3. Now most important Get your Original Firmware along with the Scatter file. The SPflashtool only recognizes the scatter file. So you need ROM along with scatter file.
check this link and follow the instructions http://en.miui.com/thread-370620-1-1.html
check your ROM if it is here. Only Use the correct firmware for your devices otherwise you may do a permanent damage to your device. http://en.miui.com/download-309.html#454
Hope it helps.

Hi i have the same problem, spft always give me an error, i cannot enter in fastboot or recovery, did you solve the problem?

have you flashed preloader or had you selected "Format all and Download"? If not, or maybe yes,, try to flash custom cust.img and just plug in your phone without holding vol-down button. Also make sure that you disable driver signature enforcement. Anyway it sounds scary as I reflash my fastboot firmware on SP Flash Tool ocasionally after using twrp.

If it doesn't work,, have a motherboard replacement

hello i managed to flash with sp flash tool but after flashing it is not charging and couldnt be powered on. i have held the power button for more than 20 secs

are you able to go to VCOM mode?
you have to go to VCOM mode in the MTK device to use the SP Flash Tool.
1. Install Vcom drivers from internet.
2. Phone will get detected. Then the SP Flash Tool will Run
Hope it helps.

I has scatter file from en. Miui /a-234 with codename nikel, I used spf tool the latest version.
Otherwise, my phone can not detected in my pc, neither unknown device or Vcom statuse. How should I do again? With test point or DFC can work??
Really my phone is Deep Death, before DD I flashed with snap dragon rom, result is DD

Have patience, it should not be problem.
Is your battery removable?
If yes, take it out. Unplug usb.
Plug usb again with battery out. Press -vol to detect vcom driver.
Most important , adb driver or usb debugging mode should not be enabled. Otheewise the vcom drivers will not install.
Once vcom mode works. SPFT will work on its own.
Hope it helps.

Zophone I5 MTK6577 bricked, tryed everything for a week, please help me

Hello!
I've got bricked Iphone 5 clone on MTK6577.
This phone was bricked because I flashed wrong firmware, but it still detects as "MTK USB Port" (PID_0003) when I plug it in and don't press any buttons on it.
I have backup from the 100% same phone, both bricked and working phones were from the same seller, bought together and came in one box.
As I understand phone has a chance to be unbricked, because Windows still detects it (PID_0003 means that Bootrom is alive).
So what I did this last week to unbrick it:
I tryed to flash backup with different versions of Sp flash tool (from 3.12.06.01 to 3.1336.0.198)
I tryed to flash first two blocks (preloader and dsp_bl)
I tryed to reinstall drivers and changed them
I tryed to flash it on 5 different PCs with Windows Xp(two different), Windows 7, Windows 7 64, Windows 8
I changed COM port number.
And always got this error: S_DA_DRAM_NOT_SUPPORT (3004) and when I use older Sp Flash Tool versions it ends with error: S_DL_GET_DRAM_SETTINGS_FAIL (5054). Even if I flash only PRELOADER and DSP_BL blocks.
How it happens:
I disconnect the device from PC, choose scatter file in Sp Flash Tool, push "Download" button, connect the device.
After that red line fills in the bottom 100% and after some seconds MTK USB Port dissapears from device manager and I hear sound of "unplugged device" (sometimes it sounds twice). In the bottom of Sp Flash Tool driver name changes to DA USB VCOM Port and S_DA_DRAM_NOT_SUPPORT (3004) error appears.
I have no idea what to do and anyway thanks to everybody for your answers and advices in this thread.
Some details about the phone from MTK Droid Tools:
Hardware : MT6577 (MT6589 is Fake!)
Model : iPhone5
Build number : ALPS.ICS2.MP.V1.18
Build date UTC : 20130822-011857
Android v : 4.2.0
Baseband v: MAUI.11AMD.W12.22.SP.V14, 2013/07/01 20:22
Kernel v : 3.0.13 ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.4.3 (GCC) ) #1 SMP Thu Aug 22 09:17:28 CST 2013
Uboot build v : MAIN2.2.ubt.2443
LCD Driver IC : 1-nt35510_mipi
Also here is screenshot of Sp Flash Tool 3.1336.0.sn198 when I get this error.
If you need any other information, just ask and I'll do my best to get it. Please help!

I can't boot phone in any way.
I tryed different combinations of buttons. The only combination I got is "HOME" and "POWER" buttons.
When I hold them for 5 seconds and release - device manager redetects MTK USB Port.
I think your device has an iOS operating system.Why are you posting in Android Q&A?or am I wrong?

It's not an iOS device, MTK Droid tools wouldn't detect it if it's a iOS device. I'm sure, and it wouldn't be detected as MTK USB Port (PID_0003) when I plug it in.

Before I bricked it interface was iOS-like, that's right. But it's android.
So how can I unbrick it?
First of all, read this first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160490
 @rua1 is the creator of MTK Droid Tool.
And for the love of your phone, do NOT flash the first 2 item [uncheck the first 2 boxes in SP Flash Tool]
if u r not flashing whole firmware.
Read the tutorial and u will know why.

Thanks for the answer!
When I bricked it I used Sp flash tool which flashes one whole .bin file. So I think preloader and dsp_bl are not "native" now.
Anyway I'll read the tutorial.

When I bricked it I used special version of Flash tool and single .bin file. Screenshot in attach.
After that I tryed out other versions of Flash Tool and with checkboxes too.

That's right. But I have backup not exactly from this phone but from the same phone from the same seller and they both came in one box.
I used Mtk droid tools 2.5.2 to make backup from alive phone.
After making backup I prepared blocks for Flash Tool with MTK Droid tools.
When I try to flash it I get the same errors.
I recorded video how it happens Link

Flashing boot.img and system.img leads to the same situation.
I read this guide on how to recover from flashing wrong preloader, I can't activate META mode. I tryed different combinations of buttons and still no luck - PC doesn't detect it as Preloader COM Port or VCOM Port. The only device it detects is MTK USB Port with PID=0003. When I try to flash it can detect VCOM Port after red line fills on 100%, but after that it fails.
I even found testpoint for this device but it reacts the same. At all.
DRAM is broken? But I didn't touch the hardware except battery.
That is why I created this thread. :/

In that guide, to enter META mode
For MT6575/ 77
With the battery out, hold the volume up, don't let go & plug in the USB cable will activate META mode for few seconds...Typically, you need to click Download at SP Flash Tool before entering META mode or it will auto disconnected...

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

thank you for responding man.
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.

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.

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.

Hi. The drivers i uploaded to you at my post!
For the new device you must have the device manager window open ! Only there you will find the preloader.

Help with unbricking

Hello,
I flashed a ROM with sp-tool but the phone does not open. I power it on but nothing happens, no vibration, no screen flashing nothing.
Now I try to reflash the stock ROM but:
If I connect it it to PC it is recognized as MTK USB Port instead of MediaTek Preloader USB VCOM and SPTools returns DRAM failed error.
I tried removing the battery and connecting it, pressing VOL+ etc but the same happens.
I read this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943442 but I could not do something. I found in the guide a link in a Russian forum where they talked about flashing the preloader using the board's PINs, but the translate does not give me quality information on how to do this
Any ideas?
Thank you

Hi. What you did is to brick your preloader. It seems to me that your phone is made after 03.2014.
What you have to do is:
1. reinstall the driver. Follow the tutorial from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/lenovo-p780-mt6589-device-hard-bricked-t2890675
2. download the good preloader from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/len...cked-flashing-wrong-rom-doesnt-t2749683/page4
3. replace the preloader from your downloaded ROM with the one from step 2.
4. Start SP FLASH TOOL and load scatter file
5. Check DA/DL WITH CHECKSUM
6. Flash it normaly now.
7. Good Luck
8. Waiting for feedback....
The same.

Merimobiles told me that this was the original rom

I tried varirous versions of SP Flash Tool
I think that the only option is to hard-flash it using the pins from the board

Hello!
You can try the following:
1. search and download sp flashtool. Actually you can get this from official SP Flashtool official site.
Assuming you are running Windows, also download MediaTek USB VCOM drivers and Driver Auto Installer v1.1236.00 from the same site.
2. have an S580 rom ready.
The Process:
1. Install the windows drivers you downloaded
2. Open the folder you extracted SP Flashtool and run it as administrator.
3. Inside the folder of your unzipped rom file, look for a file similar to XXXXXXXXXX_scatter_file.txt
4. Load this in the SP Flashtool (click downlad tab, then scatter loading, load this file in there. It should load your rom you will see some colours, etc...
The tricky part:
Assuming you have correctly installed the drivers:
1. turn off the device (well if bricked it is turned off all ready) just make sure, and if possible remove the battery.
2. Click the green download button on SP Flashtool.
3. Hold down the Vol down key on your s580 and connect it to a usb port.
4. If you see a red line and continue to yellow, all is probably good! Don't let go of the vol - button until yellow line reaches 100%
If it fails, try again by removing the mediatek drivers, and by installing the latest lenovo USB drivers you can find.

You have nothing to lose by trying! I cannot think of any further damage you can do to the device. If you want to be cautious, trying installing only the lenovo drivers and following the steps.
If your phone is not recognized and the process does not either not complete or initiate at all, then also install the mediatek drivers. The mediatek drivers are to facilitate communication between device and computer, they are not going into your device. What your device will get is whatever is in the scatter file in the rom you should have downloaded.
Googling about your problem, turned up using SP Flash anyway, you can google it too.
Hope I am helping, let me know how it goes! I recently revived my Lenovo Tab 3 8 Wifi following the steps I described!
qualcomm specific info
Hello Adrenoaak322.
You never posted back whether you were successful or not in reviving the phone. Anyway, I found some qualcomm specific information. I will pm you the links, if you want to take a look. Hope it helps.

Definitely worth trying. Perhaps even better from SP Flashtool, since QFIL is qualcomm specific.
You will need to do a little research on how it works, if it needs some kind of file similar to scatter file for SP, etc, etc. I sent some links to your PM that maybe useful in the process.
Maybe other users, around here, with more experience can help out?!? Anyone???
boot to "recovery mode" by pressing the volume up and power button after the lenovo and android logo appears release both buttons and immediately touch the Home button. Do clear wipe data after that select reboot now. in which case it will take a while but do not worry just wait until your lenovo returns to normal.
