Hey,
I have been years just reading these forums but never made any posts, so thats why I cannot post to development section anyways. I happened to totally brick my phone by flashing wrong preloader into it. However this morning i succesfully reflashed it and now I have somehow working phone (just need to find new rom now) but anyways. This thread is to help other people who has semi bricked their phones as well.
Current situation.
-Phone doesn't charge,
-Phone doesn't turn on (nothing happens)
-Computer sees phone for few secs, so you have "META mode" access. If your computer doesn't see your phone at all make modified USB connect the 4pin to ground. This is what I did actually. If that doesn't work you can google for test points.
My device:
MTK6575 (Fake mt6589)
512MT RAM (fake 2GB)
800x460 resolution (fake 1920x1080)
4GB internal memory (fake 8gb)
5" screen
2200mah battery (fake 3000mah)
OK this is the prodecure that got my phone back to live!
Install windows XP (Yes, windows 8 didn't work for me. most likely drivers are not ready for it. I will not write steps how to install windows xp)
Install USB deview
-Google it, download it, extract package and run it
-Remove all drivers related to Mediatek, android, usb vcom etc.
Download and install VCOM USB Drivers
-Download these drivers http://www.mediafire.com/download/31nddwqdot5ajp2/MT6575+USB+VCOM+drivers.zip
-Put your phone battery in (50% charge) required. wait 10s. Take battery off and connect your phone to PC as meta mode ( modified USB cable, VOL+/- while connecting, you can read more about this from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943442
-When your phone is connected it will disconnect after ~3-5seconds. Now you have to wait in device manager connect the phone right click the device when it shows up. Install driver from the location where you unpacked your VCOM USB drivers/2K_XP_COM/ dont automaticly install them but manually. After windows have found drivers UNTICK show compatible devices. And MANUALLY select preloader driver. Now it will install it the next time the device connects. OK now we have Preloader driver in place. Notice that we will install one more driver later needed in flashing procedure. Disconnect phone.
Now download compatible rom. for me My backup was not working, but this rom worked out perfectly:
http://search.4shared.com/postDownload/wILsUT7J/MTK6575_S4_FLASH_TOOLS_YEDEK.html
Download SP Flash Tool v3.1222.00, extract it.
Ok lets recap what we have now:
-preloader drivers
-phone disconnected
-SP Flash Tool v3.1222.00
-back up we can use to flash
Open flash tool, enter scatter file and go to Format
-Select Format whole flash except bootloader and nvram bin region. -> connect phone -> succeed
-Select Format NVRAM bin region ONLY -> connect phone -> succeed
-Select Format whole flash -> connect phone -> succeed
Ok. Next we need to flash compatible rom this part is tricky. Read before doing anything.
-Disconnect your phone, enter battery (50% charge required)
-wait atlaest 15seconds, and remove battery
-(I dont know why those steps were required, but didn't work without it)
-Open SP Flash tool select scatter file and select all checkboxes
-press download
-connect your phone in META mode with Preloader drivers we installed before.
-Now red prograss bar will start going and phone will disconnect After it reconnect We want ANOTHER drivers are located in the same place but now we need to select Mediatek DA Vcom USB drivers. If everything went fine you get yellow progress bar and it will reflash your phone! :victory:
In the last part if you got Error 5054, This is good. It means your phone is still alive! but your current preloader does not match the data you are going to flash. So you need to go back to google and download other rom try flashing everything (thats what I did, before hitting jack pot, eventually you will find compatible rom)
If you got ERROR 3002 switch back to SP Flash Tool v3.1222.00 newer one doesn't work!
I got some other errors as well when flashing and I solved them but didn't write down the errors so I cant remember them sorry
Remember before connect phone as META mode. Plug in battery with atlaest 50% power wait 15s. remove it. and connect the phone to PC. This was the mysterious step I was missing when struggling with this 5 days!
By the time of writing this article I got my phone working rom, everything works.
GOOD LUCK
ps. Sorry for typos.
:angel: kthxbai
thanks!
AND THANKS FOR yuweng and rui1 who made this all possible!
anyway now I'm back to porting CM to our device. hopefully this helped somebody (and yes, I will be more careful this time)
Hi, it worked for me and i could unbrick my mtk6575
Hi, there
rom given in post worked for me
and i could finally unbrick my phone, but now it asks for the password to decrypt storage after boot. I don't know what to do.
please provide password or any solution to it.
my device is stuck on boot?

hi, a have same phone and is it possible update new rom? Why? Because thşs rom very stable but one except, google contacts cant sync.
And i m trying cwm install with MTKdroid tools its runing but ONLY ONE TAKE. After the reboot in CWM menu coming orginal factory recovery(yellow simple screen and only have test etc. menus) why? ((
So many people around here are having issues with KDZ, errors such as:
--Connections problem between PC and Phone
-Drivers problem.
-Cannot find the phone.
-Bricked too hard.
-Random chinese info stuff...How did i find this solution ?
After i copied the wrong aboot.bin to my device KDZ stopped working even after i repaired it.Why did i try to use KDZ after i repaired it?Well because i bricked it again by installing some modules that weren't compatible and it ended by deleting some of my system apps and also my navigation bar.So, i thought myself why LG designed an program for software update and why don't we use it?So i used B2CAppSetup, and not only that it fixed my device but also it reverted the firmware that i lost when i bricked my phone first time, because when i bricked it the first time i couldn't find the same KDZ i just flashed one that seemed compatible.I have to say it was way more faster and easier.

Let's get to the guide shall we?
Step 1 : Download B2CAppSetup( i attached it for ya )
Step 2a : Install it !
Warning Step 2 : If you already have KDZ installed using @hyelton method DON'T INSTALL IT!, you should already have it in your KDZ folder .
Step 2b (If you already have KDZ installed using @hyelton method and can't find B2CAppSetup) : Just delete it and install the program from here .
Step 3 : Open the program and plug your phone into the PC/Laptop whatever.
Step 3.1a: If you can boot up your phone( i mean if it's not bricked ) just select Software LG mode and in the B2CAppSetup window there should appear something like "Your phone has been discovered, do you want to install the driver?", you would say Yes and wait until the driver is installed.
Additional Info for Step 3.1a : For B2CAppSetup to find your phone you don't need only to have the Software LG mode enabled, you will also need the driver that should automatically install by itself.
Step 3.1b:If your device is bricked and can't boot you'll have to enter the Download Mode, to do that just keep holding the Vol. Up button while inserting the USB cable in the phone( The USB cable must be already plugged into the PC while doing that), and you keep it until you go into the Download Mode.
Step 4 : Now let's get the upgrade done. So basically since our phone has no firmware updates we have to trick the program. In the upper right corner you should see two options available, you are going to click on the one that says "Additional Functions"( the one in the left) and then select the second options that says something like "Recovery from an update error".
Step 5 : Now if you've followed as i've said it should be very easy from now on.The program will connect to the device and start downloading the right Firmware Update that you had when your phone first came.
WARING !!! : DURING THE INSTALLATION THE PROGRAM MAY GIVE YOU THIS ERROR " The device has been disconnected from the PC, do you want to abort the update" , you just let it that way because it will still be installing even if that error pops-up.
Step 5.1 : When the installation reaches like 80% your phone should boot up, but don't disconnect it yet, just wait until the program crashed itself,it should crash when it's 99%, after that you can unplug it.
Errors after installing:
1 )com.android.phone has stopped responding
2 )acore has stopped...
3 )contacts has stopped...
n )......
( and it keeps saying that without stopping and letting you do anything )
To fix it just, do a hard reset by using the stock recovery. Hope this method helped you in any way since the links where we could download the KDZ files are mostly down and since the KDZ works when it want and how it want.Feel free to ask question.This method was tested on the D620.
... and then select the second options that says something like "Recovery from an update error".

This is where the option should be .

Well, this is a guide on how to reflash the stock version in case KDZ is not working, i guess if the USB still recognizes the phone it may be a chance to work, just attempt to use the software and see if it works (after all this is another method beside KDZ)

Same happend to me but I downloaded and installed driver from LG .
If my phone has a cab file will it convert it to kdz for me
I'm having the same issues. My LG G2 Mini D618 is stuck in the LG logo
I can't seem to enter Download mode even though I follow the instruction (press volume up button as I plug the USB cable) and installed USB drivers. Please help!
Hi guys,
Sorry to revive the old post, but I haven't been able to find me a solution after many days searching... A customer came to me with an LG G2 Mini D625 (located in Chile), for what i've been investigating the phone is stuck in APX mode, I got to install the "NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for Mobile devices", and now I'm trying this method to attempt to revive the phone... however it has come to my attention that after:
1. Removing the battery
2. Keeping pressed vol+
3. Connecting the usb cable to phone & pc while doing step 2
I can't get the phone to boot in Download mode... Could it be it's a different method for D625? Is it plain dead & hard-bricked without any options left? Can something be done with some sort of box? I don't have any type of box myself, but if needed be, I can advise my customer to go with another technician who owns a box...
EDIT: I have the phone with me... just FYI

Ok here it is:
1. download in your computer the drivers

Hi All,
Have seen the numerous posts on this forum for the Lenovo P780, but cannot for the life of me get mine to work again
Model: P780 4GB (believe it is the Chinese version as when I first started it, Android was in Chinese (hence me trying to replace the ROM).
Here are the symptoms:
Black screen, won't power on, cannot even get into factory reset mode.
Tried the reset button on the back of the phone (some say 3-5 seconds others say 20 seconds - Tried both, nothing!).
Tried to fix the problem by doing the following:
Download the SP Flash Tools version 5.1352.01 and ran them on my Windows 7 Machine as Administrator.
Loaded the P780_ROW_S226_4GB_KIT_KAT (as this is what I thought would do the trick.)
Selected the MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt file and then Firmware Upgrade set, then hit download, connected the phone to the laptop (red light on the phone), SP Flash Tool then goes to 100% Download DA (in red), and then the message "Unrecognized ROM detected".
That's it nothing else. Can't power on the phone.
Any advice help would be appreciated before I throw this phone through a window!!!
Thanks,
Mak.

Hi Stympy,
I have managed to get an Android ROM installed on the P780. Details are:
Android version 4.2.1
Build: P780_S136_140306
The only problem now is that the rear camera does not work, and have been told that trying to install a non-standard ROM could have blown the rear camera.
As I am not experienced with flashing these (or any other types of smartphones), I have no idea if this is correct.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Mak.

Got to say a BIG thank you to Stympy who got my P780 back working again!!! A magician!!!!
Thanks again!:good:
Now, i have seen countless cases of people being not able to flash their MMX A311, as for me I was having the same problem too, turns out that the driver is the main problem.
I was trying out YGDP but i was stuck at "Enabling Download Mode"
and while trying out SP tools i was getting an error "s_brom_cmd_jump_da_fail (0x7f3) " .
Then again, I tried many things, and got my phone working in 10 minutes. :good:
So if u too are stuck, then try my method.
It is highly recommended you do this in Windows 7.
I did everything while my phone was switched off but battery was inserted.
Disconnect your PC from internet just to be double careful about the flashing.
First getting the proper driver:
Now, before installing the driver, make sure that you dont have any other driver installed rather than the one which i will provide, if you think you might have installed some other driver then try removing it by "usdreview" (but it didn't work for me though that's why PLEASE TRY THIS ON ANOTHER COMPUTER OR LAPTOP, MAYBE IF YOU HAVE ANOTHER LAPTOP OR COMPUTER OR MAYBE TRY IT ON YOUR FRIEND'S SYSTEM. THIS SOLVED THE "ENABLING DOWNLOAD MODE" PROBLEM FOR ME)
Download this driver, I did with this one:
Remove the (dot) and put " . " in the link. .
www(dot)mediafire(dot)com/file/8v32j8h5doflzi0/Mediatek+MT65xx+Preloader+Driver(dot)rar
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Extract it and remember where the folder has been extracted to, as it will be needed to install the driver.
Installing the driver:
Open up Device Manager.
right click on My Computer > Manage > on the side pane click on "Device Manager"
Keep it open.
Now first CHOOSE A SINGLE USB PORT WHICH WILL BE USED BY YOU THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE PROCESS. DON'T CHANGE IT!
Now use your usb data cable and insert it into your chosen USB port and then to your phone.
As you will insert it you will see a device popup in 'Other Devices' or some other tab named as "MTK65xx Preloader" or something similar like that.
NOW BE QUICK IT DISAPPEARS IN 3-4 SECONDS !!
Quickly right click on mtk65xx preloader and select "Update Driver Software"
Now as in the new window opened up, select " Browse my own computer to install the driver"
Browse to the DOWNLOADED DRIVER'S folder, select the folder "Win7" for Windows 7 and Above.
Now the driver will be installed.
Now after being installed, take out your phone from the usb cable, dont remove the usb cable from the computer because you make mistake while again inserting it back into to a different port.
Getting the stock rom and YGDP tool:
Now get the stock rom for A311 and YGDP tool from any verified site.
I downloaded mine from :
Remove the (dot) and put " . " in the link.
www(dot)needrom(dot)com/download/micromax-a311
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Download from this site needs user to be logged in, it barely took 2 mins for me to register and download it.
If you have any other site you trust then go on and download it from there, but I recommmend you to follow my steps and sites as I did everything and succeeded.
Download the ROM and also the YGDP tool.
Extract the downloaded file to some specific folder as this is the ROM and the tool required.
Installing and Using the YGDP tool:
I have seen people recommending latest YGDP tool but on the contrary I recommend the downloaded old version from the previous step, it worked for me like a charm!!
Install the YGDP tool from the extracted folder.
After installation, YGDP desktop icon will appear, open it.
put the password as: 369
Now, on the top pane, press the button "Config"
In the window opened, on the side pane, carefully select "8297W" for A311
And after selecting that, on the left side section,
in the " Please select CPB file : " , click on the button beside it and browse for your extracted folder of ROM and select it !
now it click " Apply " button .
It will take 1-2 minutes, and after this you will be brought back to the main window!
Now click on " Start "
And wait till in the bottom message log it says " ENABLING DOWNLOAD MODE" , now follow the next step !!
Flashing your phone:
As YGDP stays in enabling download mode, now insert your phone back to the usb cable which was left out in the computer.
Now, if you did everything correctly, YOUR PHONE WILL BE DETECTED and YGDP will start flashing by itself, wait till it says 100% with a green bar.
Remove your phone from the USB cable and then click "STOP" in the main window of the YGDP tool.
Power on your phone.
Your phone will be successfully be flashed and alive !!! :fingers-crossed:
FROM NOW ON, ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP . :silly:
Feel free to ask questions. :laugh:
If u have suggestions, I'm open for it!! :laugh:
While I am connecting to the computer it does not recognise it and continuously connecting and disconnecting the USB drive and I have tried different ways like why GDP tool and SP Flash tool when I tried with why GDP tool it struck at the entering download mode and when I tried with SP Flash tool it recognise the device but ends with an error message finally the problem is my computer is not detecting the device properly and I have install the drivers manually also but of no use now I am not able to go for go to the recovery mode my phones is continuously rebooting please help me thanks in advance
as you said i have done all the things, and its turned out as green bar. everything is ok, but while power on my device it will only shows the micromax logo it wont go further... kindly suggest me about what to do next...
anyone active here?
