- Driver : MTK V1.0.8 and install DRIVER AUTO 1612

Hi,
I have recently bricked my AC70HELLO and tried uncessefully to flash stock firmware (from firmwarefile.com/archos-hello-7 ) but always got STATUS_DA_HASH_MISMATCH (with SP Flash Tools V5.1924 and V5.2020) or STATUS_BROM_CMD_SEND_DA_FAIL (with SP Flash Tools V5.1744) errors (with MTK_AllInOne_DA or DA_PL defaults DA).
Could you please share the Download Agent and the stock firmware from Archos ?
I have asked Archos for it in vain, they respond me "Sorry we don't have any FW available for this device. Thanks for your understanding," which got me a bit mad... I mean if my device's constructor doesn't have its stock firmware then who does ?

Here's the "latest" fimware from Archos http://update.archos.com/AFMv2/downloads/ac70hello_archos/20181101.075911/update.zip

Does anybody happen to have a reliable guides and reliable downloads to flash other firmwares to this Hello 7?
I tried several guides but somehow they are inconsistent, incomplete or simply not working. Some say I need TWRP without a link to a working image, others say I could use fastboot which generates "not allowed in locked state". I found out myself that I could work around that error by running "fastboot oem unlock" but after flashing, my Hello keeps hanging in a boot loop. (also after "fastboot oem lock")
Fortunately with @fraenK 's link, I could revert back to stock.

I have been using the Pixel Experience 10 GSI ROM from Expressluke so far. Other GSI ROMs should work as well. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/gsi-expressluke-built-gsis.4003457/

Thanks but this is unusable without a working recovery wich I don't have since I'm bricked (corrupted logo.img so crash before booting in anything) would you know where I could find the download agent to use with sp flash tools ?

Hello,
If I can help you, I create a zip file with Driver, Firmware and the compatible SP_Flash for this firmware.
I flashed my Hello with success and I don't sure of all step, cause many test before sucess.
Just put WIN10 in "Test Mode" can help

Hi everyone,
I bricked my Archos Hello 7 by trying to flash TWRP.
I'm looking to flash my device but it's hard to find informations for this device and nothing works for me.
I tried with SP Flash tool V5.1744 and few drivers versions without results.
I always have STATUS_DA_HASH_MISMATCH or BROM_CMD_SEND_DA_FAIL.
Every time I plug my device, the detected USB is the "Mediatek PreLoader USB VCom", do you think it's the good driver ?
@buzz-27 can you (or someone else) upload your file again, the link on Free is dead.
@Dawnowl444 did you solve your flashing problem ?
Thanks guys.

Hi,
My AC70HELLO is still bricked unfortunately. I've got a corrupted logo.bin and no way to flash stock rom except with SP Flash Tool. But I can't get passed STATUS_DA_HASH_MISMATCH error.
I tried this utility without much success...
GitHub - MTK-bypass/bypass_utility
Contribute to MTK-bypass/bypass_utility development by creating an account on GitHub.
github.com
It's now easy to bypass MediaTek's SP Flash Tool authentication
A group of developers has created a Python utility to bypass the authentication routine of MediaTek SP Flash Tool. Check it out now!
www.xda-developers.com
With --force I still get STATUS_DA_HASH_MISMATCH and the utility says "Device secure boot: False ; Device serial link authorization: False ; Device download agent authorization: False" wich is weird...
Let me know if you got any more luck with that than me.
If your AC70HELLO is'nt really bricked you can try to flash back stock recovery via fastboot.

Hi Dawnowl444,
Thanks for your tips, I gonna try with bypass_utility but without hope .
Maybe we need to do some hardware tweak to allow to flash the device.
There is here a French tutorial to disassemble the Hello 7. http://rnc.free.fr/hello7/hello7.html
In the firmware I found online, the file Checksum.ini refers to the version 1708 of SP Flash Tool, I tried with itn but without success, maybe it can be successful for you.
Unfortunately, I can't boot into recovery mode, that's why I try to flash with the Flash Tool.
If I succeeded to flash my device I will let you known.

Hello @buzz-27 , could you upload the file again?
I was try update my Hello 7 and now it restarting continuously.

Hello, is not possible immediately but I try to push the file in a few weeks or before maybe.

Ok thanks. By mistake I'm flashed the Hello 10 ROM in my Hello 7, and now it restarting continuously. I can enter in fastboot but I cannot flash the ROM - error: FAILED (Remote: not allowed in locket state) Do you know another way to flash the correct firmware? I can not enter in recovery mode.

Can you tell us which DA did you use ? I have tried all DA from the SP Flash tool with no results.
Maybe we have a different model/revision, mine has the FCC ID : SOVAC70HELLO

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

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.

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.

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!

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

Hard Bricked OUKITEL K10000 MAX, help!

Tried rooting my phone, the oukitel k10000 max, with sp flash tool and it hard bricked straight away, download and recovery don't work but windows recognizes it's there when I plug in with usb so theres hope, I just can't seem to find a solution that actually works in any way, also I didn't back up nvram or dram so now when I try to flash it gives me the (4032) error code for dram, seemingly can't flash anything at all. Help would be greatly appreciated, might even wire some paypal dough if someone can help me get it working again? Also my drivers are installed properly as far as i can tell, i installed them in the disable driver signature verification start-up mode.

Anyone wanna help me with my K10000 Max? Tried installing the stock rom with Magisk installed, with the Smart Phone Flash tool and it completely bricked my phone. Black screen and wont even respond to the power button. When connecting it with a PC, Windows complains about not recognizing the USB device. Do i have a 200€ brick now that i can toss in the garbage? Please help before the wife finds out and kicks my head in!
EDIT: Disconnected the battery and the phone gave little signs of life again and was actually recognized by the flasher software. Tried to flash a stock image again and it gave me this:
S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL
[Description]
l [EMI] Enable DRAM Failed.
[Solution]
l Please check your images to make sure it matches with your phone and download again.
EDIT 2: Figured it out myself! In a deep despair, i tried like a 1000 different roms but nothing worked. Even the backup rom that i made before i first flashed my phone didn't work, giving me a different error, something about the chipset. Today, i wondered why the scatterfile said my rom was for the 6735 chipset, as the K10000 MAX is a 6753 device. Changed the line in the scatter file manually and tried to flash it afterwards and i nearly **** my pants when it actually started flashing the phone. Flash was successful and now the phone is working again. Now i just need to find a working custom rom for it.

[SOLVED] Need help to unbrick an Archos 50 Diamond (ac50da)

Hi all,
I recently got my hands on a screen-damaged Archos 50 Diamond (ac50da) running the latest stable stock Android 4.4.4 ROM (I didn't know that an Android 5.1 preview was available here : https://blog.archos.com/fr/lollipop-en-version-beta-sur-le-50-diamond/).
I bricked it by doing the following :
- Trying to install @phhusson TWRP from here : https://twrp.me/archos/archos50diamond.html, without upgrading to 5.1 first (as explained here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/ar...ment/twrp-support-thread-archos-twrp-t3468677).
This did not work, as when trying to enter recovery mode by holding VolumeUp while powering up the phone would now bring up a totally green, then totally red screen, but nothing else. No device is detected if I plug it in a computer (either Linux or Windows).
- Booting (not flashing yet) CWM from here : http://www.arctablet.com/blog/forum...50-diamond-root-procedure-recovery-cwm-v6051/
For some reason, I ended up rebooting (without installing CWM or anything else). But before rebooting, CWM warned me that my ROM wasn't rooted, and offered to install the su binary in /system/xbin/su. That's were I met my doom, because the device would then no longer boot.
- If I power up the device, the Archos logo shows up, then a black screen. Plugging the device on a Windows computer shows a dozen data drives, and the devices itself identified as QHSUSB_BULK.
- I thought of using QFIL (Qualcomm File Image Loader) to re-image the device : https://androidmtk.com/download-qualcomm-flash-image-loader-qfil
I managed to get my hands on a stock firmware image (prog_emmc_firehose_8936.mbn or validated_emmc_firehose_8936.mbn) by paying here : https://firmware.gem-flash.com/index.php?a=browse&b=file-info&id=110067 but QFIL won't flash it as I don't have a driver for QHSUSB_BULK.
- However, I'm unable to find a proper driver for that device. I found several Qualcomm drivers, either for QHSUSB_BULK or the (apparently older) QDLOAD, but none of them include definitions for the Archos 50 Diamond.
- The device's USB identification is the following : USB\VID_05C6&PID_9057&MI_00
VID (Vendor ID) 05C6 = Qualcomm
PID (Product ID) 9057 = ??? (should be the Archos 50 Diamond but is not referenced anywhere)
MI (Master Interface) = ??? (no idea what that means)
- Other findings :
The .mbn files refer to a Qualcomm Snapdragon 610 MSM8936
Inside the stock image is an android-info.txt file that reads "board=msm8916"
So, can you guys help me out here ?
I think that finding a proper QHSUSB_BULK driver for VID_05C6&PID_9057 should be enough, but I'm open to any suggestion.
Thanks !
I think I found a driver for that device here : https://driverpack.io/fr/hwids/USB\VID_1D9C&PID_9057&MI_04
It's for a "Sonim XP5 HS-USB NMEA 9057", but whatever.
However, after installing the driver (just uncompress it using 7-zip), QFIL fails when trying to download the firmware image with "failed to switch to EDL mode" (EDL = emergency download).
Anyone has a better idea*?
VICTORY !!!
When trying to power off/reboot the device, I noticed that it could still boot in fastboot mode, by holding VolumeUp + power until the screen turns green, then release the buttons before the screen turns red.
I could then boot again in CWM (still unable to flash it though), and re-install a stock ROM from the manufacturer site : https://www.archos.com/us/support/support_tech/downloads.html?type=s&rlist=1&devid=240
Phew ! At last !
And now to try and install the 5.1 beta update…

If you can give me access to one of yours, I'll do it ASAP. I don't have one myself and don't plan to.

I sent it through a private message.
Thank you
For anyone interested : I have some stock firmware files, but nowhere to store them (I'm not looking to register to yet another service). If you're willing to host them, please send me a private message. Thanks !

I'm in the process of uploading the 50_Diamond.rar stock firmware to https://androidfilehost.com/
I'll give the link when it's done. Feel free to ping me if I forget !
Okay, here it is : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=319661

I wondered if someone could try to help me? :)

Hello guys! I have a problem with one phone that i am trying to fix for someone and I feel sooo, sooo completely lost in all of this as I know almost nothing about this. The cell phone model that is in question is Alcatel One Touch Pop C3-4033x.
It seems to be using a Mediatek chipset and I was reading some of your advices here & there and tried using the program called SP FlashTools but it always resulted in error, in the end. It seems that something is wrong with this phones emmc flash memory. So, I tried transfering some files as a zip files to the SD-card and tried to apply update from it, but it said always: Installation aborted. And then, I have tried looking for a way to flash stock firmware of that specific Alcatel model on SD-card, but I just don't have any clue how to do it, if it is possible, even. Maybe I should just give up trying?
Oh, I almost forgot to write that the phone doesn't have the access to Android OS and USB debugging isn't turned on, because computer doesn't seem to list it and I don't know if there any button combinations that Alcatel uses for this model to get into that fastboot or adb mode, even though have installed mediatek drivers. It can only get into Android System Recovery 3e. That seems to be everything, I think, at least.
Oh guys, I am so, so, so sorry if I am bothering you with this. I just didn't know what or where else to ask this. Thank you sooo much!
Hi download those files:
Firmware:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/bpm4ibsbmr4q6nc/OT-4033X-Without_Mobilis_logo__BY_GSMSERVE.rar/file
SP Flash tool:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603870440
Driver:
https://mega.nz/#!8VYkQCxD!fkhTrZwFFILDAglO1cR_8pIM4Cel52brZ7RB6QZoc6o
Once you downloaded all right driver open SP flash tool and add Scatter file
MT6572_Android_scatter.txt
Click on Download , connect your phone without battery and see if the process is going on if not try again with battery inside.
If you end up with error do the same thing but now first do Format then after is Finish do Download. Good luck ...
It still displays error :/

I have tried to do everything like you have said, but it still displays error when i press the Download button, and it displays that error after some seconds pass and also the same happens hen i try to use the Format function. This is the error it displays when i tried with the download button: BROM ERROR: S_DA_SDMMC_WRITE_FAILED (3149)
And this is the same error it displayed when i tried using the Format function: S_DA_SDMMC_WRITE_FAILED (3149)
