Problems using SP Flash Tool (Driver Related Problems - Please Help) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The thing is, I am having trouble flashing the Stock ROM to my Lenovo A1000G as it has been dead and it doesn't turn on anymore.
I have installed MTK / MediaTEK drivers (After reading multiple threads and guides over the internet) and I have installed these 3 specifically -
1) MediaTek DA USB VCOM Port
2) MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM Port
3) MTK USB Port
But the thing is whenever I try to plugin the device to the Computer pressing the Vol (-) button - it shows up in the Ports section as MediaTek DA USB VCOM (Android). Now since it is appearing like that, I cannot flash or do anything in general. Because the device is getting detected by the PC but the one that shows up in the port is showing up as the wrong one. It should have showed up as MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM Port but it isn't happening like that. I have tried so many variations to install drivers / uninstall it. It just doesn't work.
Can someone please help, since I don't have much knowledge. I do have the Stock ROM ready and the device is probably hard bricked, so can't install drivers using the Pdanet method. So what can I do?

No help? Please someone. Bump

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 !!!!!

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.

Bricked my S550

Somehow I have managed to brick my new cubot S550.
I wanted to update the rom so I headed to needarom and downloaded the appropriate rom and followed the instructions but somewhere along the line by pressing the vol keys and the power key the screen has gone black. This was done before I used any flash tools or install any drivers.
when I did plug it into the computer it was initially being seen as an unknown device but now I managed to install some drivers and it shows up as mediatek DA USB VCOM (android) (COM 5) I can install other drivers such as mediatek PreLoader USB VCOM Port and MTK USB Port and they seem to install but only after I untick show compatible hardware. When that is ticked then only mediatek DA USB VCOM shows in the list so I assume the state it is in is mediatek DA USB VCOM (android) (COM 5).
Unfortunately when I follow the instructions on needarom it throws up the error message S_COM_PORT_OPEN Fail(1013) so the flash tool obviously cannot communicate with the phone. This is the same even if I install the drivers as mediatek PreLoader USB VCOM.
The instructions on needarom are sort of wrong anyway because it instructs you to remove the battery etc but it is not a phone that has a removable battery.
I have two main questions.
How can I update the rom or failing that how can I get it off this black screen? I have tried different version of pressing the power button and vol keys and nothing is working.

[HELP] MTK 6572 PreLoader USB VCOM, can't get DA USB VCOM

Hello
Some time ago I decided to flash recovery to my Kazam Trooper X5.5 (MTK 6572) with MTK Droid Tools.
Unfortunatelly, phone got bricked. I went through many threads (not only on XDA) and mostly to unbrick MTK device, PC has to recognize it as MediaTek DA USB VCOM Port. I can't force my PC/phone to connect device as DA USB VCOM and it connects always as MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM. In some threads I've seen that holding volume up while connecting to PC will make device recognizable as DA USB VCOM. It's not working for me. Also I've seen many cable connection methods - with battery, without battery, plugging cable while holding vol up etc.
The only way I can make my PC recognize mtk device is to disconnect cable, pull off battery, connect cable and place battery back. Now PC recognizes my phone for 2 seconds and disconnects.
I tried to install drivers manually but even if MediaTek DA USB VCOM appears on the list, connected device is recognized as new and it installs PreLoader driver.
Is there any way to force it to connect as MediaTek DA USB VCOM?
Thanks in advance!

SP flash tool doing nothing on MTK8163

Hey folks,
first of all i am sorry for my possible bad english.
I have a dead MTK8163 cube iPlay10
and cannot bring it back to life
I already downloaded 2 original stock firmware ROMs
have all the scatter files preloader and all the sh**
The only thing that works is that my pc is recogizing my device, so far so good. But that´s all.
SP flash tool is not working to format or flash it.
Probably you guys can help me out here, i dont want to give up yet!:good:
Here is a video of what i am meaning...

Thx in advance
Some ideas to try to solve it
Hi,
First all, about the drivers, clean all your mediatek stuff drivers, with usbdeview and with DriverStore Explorer [RAPR]. There may be interference with previous versions of mediatek driver packages.
Second, install the mediatek signed drivers by Microsoft, you can get it, for your Windows version searching "Mediatek Preloader" in the "Microsoft Update Catalog".
Third, install at least the following drivers:
MediaTek DA USB VCOM (Android)
MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM (Android)
MediaTek USB Port
MediaTek USB VCOM (Android)​Then try the most recent SP Flash Tool version.
If issues persist, maybe your tablet is bricked. SP Flash Tool is a dangerous tool, it is easy to inadvertently write the preloader, and this is a brick.
So, you have to find a "test point" to put the device in META mode, and if you have a preloader copy, be able to flash it. You have to flash the preloader provided by the manufacturer, no other preloader will work.
"Test Points" are device specific, and usually require phisically open the device, but also, may be a "test point" in the USB connector. So, before opening it, try connecting the device with an OTG cable and a male-male usb cable to the computer and try again. This worked for me, in a similar tablet, also with MTK8163.
I hope this helps.
