This is a recurrent/cyclical issue, you need firstly solve the failure within device and pc so your droidboot partition is missed, you´d need then flash these three files https://www.asus.com/zentalk/thread-191918-1-1.html in order to can perform a complete returning to stock firmware, see here for the right drivers https://www.asus.com/us/Phone/ZenFone_2_ZE551ML/Hel

First uninstall all the drivers including those for other devices if you have them installed, then install just the right that you´ll need from the official site, restart pc and try it again till pc manager detects it.

Hi, I need your help;

So, I was looking to install twrp with a rom that is incompatible with my phone (it was too late when I knew it) and I had the error "pmt changed for the rom it must be downloaded please select format all+download scene and try again" so I went to the "format" tab and I chose the option "format whole flash except bootloader" and from there, my phone died (no more life signs: no charging animation, no bootanimation, nothing except a black screen).

I've finally found the stock rom and I flashed this to my phone and this succeed with the green ring "download ok"

But the black screen is still there, help

PS : my phone is a echo horizon lite plus (mt67737)

Software used : SP Flash Tool

Here a battery of solutions https://community.doogee.cc/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=4271

You might try other versions of SPFlash Tool and also you can try flashing first only preloader.bin file, then disconnect device from pc and now flash all the other files.
[General Questions and Answers] Noel97:
Hey, thank you for your link

I've tried all versions of spft but it gives same result (black screen when flash succeed) and I don't really know where to download my rom (i use other rom but with same chip), help

Copy in other folder just these three files: lk.bin, preloaderxxxxx.bin and the scatter.txt, flash them, disconnect device, exit the tool, put your device again in download mode. connect with the tool and now flash all the files, try to boot, if it´s not booting, try to go to recovery and factory reset it.

Hey, I have to flash these files with or without battery ?

And what do you mean by "download mode" ?

My phone doesn't have download mode
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
1) I'm assuming without battery, I believe it is a common practice when attempting to unbrick.

2) The mode that you've been booting into when using SPFT.
[General Questions and Answers] Noel97:
1 - Without battery I hear the plug in sound every two seconds, the phone just connects and then disconnects himself immediately.

2 - My phone is just DEAD man, I can't do anything but plug it in and hope it's recognized by spft.

(the phone does not react to the volume keys and power button and does not even charge)
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
It's a timing thing, it's a small 2 to 5 second window, if done correctly at exactly the right time, sometimes with a certain button combination involved in the process while trying to time connection correctly.

I could be wrong about what I've said in my replies, I'm not that familiar with MTK devices. I only have a limited general understanding of their processes.

[MENTION=7644154]SubwayChamp[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5417899]DiamondJohn[/MENTION] understand them far better than I do.
[General Questions and Answers] Noel97:
Anyway, thank you for your help.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
It´s exactly how [MENTION=5691352]Droidriven[/MENTION] stated, try connecting it without battery if your device allows it to pull back, if not SPFlash Tool has an automatic mode that is active by default.

I don´t know why you said before that you flashed a firmware and was ok and now you said that your device hasn´t download mode.

Just you know all the mtk devices has download mode and this is the mode that they work while connected with this tool, you highly need to connect it at the right way so the tool can work properly. The exact method to conect it and the tool can detect it may vary from one device to another, from mt6735 and high models usually is pressing vol up at the same time that you connect with pc, you have to hear a first sound that comes from Windows and the second sound comes from the tool itself. Try other combination/s as well like pressing bot vol button.

Check on device manager and see how device it´s been detected. Take care to all this, don´t put your self in automatic mode so this is very important to know exactly what the issue is.
[General Questions and Answers] Noel97:
How can you enter in download mode with a constant black screen ?

Yes, my phone is recognized in device manager, I already tried all buttons combinaisons but they are not working.

---------- Post added at 02:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 AM ----------

I have the 4001 error when I do what you said
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
This is exactly the idea, this tool is to repair bricked devices, not only those fully functional.

In download mode you won´t see any but a black screen, in some devices led could be blink intermitently or a permanent light.

Here they´re talking about it https://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?p=28302079

Also you can try flashing only recovery stock then boot to it with a combination key usually vol up+pwr (no need to connect to pc) and factory reset it.

I hope someone can help me. I googled an tried to search on xda but cant find anything helpful.

I tried to copy my photos from my Huawei P20 and i made a mistake an deleted all my pictures.

No i tried for 4 hour´s to get my photos back. I tried a lot of programs but most of them require root access, wich is not possible on Huawei devices.

I tried to dump the userdata partition via adb but also i need root.

Does anybody else know a way to get my photos back. My last idea would be to send the device to a data rescue company for example ontr**k.

i´m really sorry but these were all of our family holiday pictures and so on.

Hope you can help me.

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
MTK devices are almost unbrickable, it´s just a thing of doing correctly, analyze the way that you are doing and refine and refine again the method applied.

Uninstall absolutely all the (phone) drivers from your pc and do a clean install of those that you´ll go to need.

There are many tutorials about the correct way to achieve it there are here some examples from several https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...=HBEqElNi2Qs&usg=AOvVaw26Y2XA_bNCF1DVR7zZjwtw

https://rootmygalaxy.net/mediatek-mt65xx-usb-vcom-drivers/

https://elandroidefeliz.com/drivers-mt65xx-mt67xx-usb-vcom-descarga-tutorial-instalacion/

All the USB drivers versions https://androidmtk.com/download-mtk-usb-all-drivers

No results? two more actions before to hang out (or take it to a repair center):

- If you are sure that tried all the combination keys in all the possible ways you have a last chance through test point method: https://snehakudari.wordpress.com/2...-romfirmware-or-flash-file-test-point-method/

- And send a request to the official partner claiming for the right firmware for your device that it could be most probably the main reason behind your issue: https://www.echomobiles.com/vitrine/horizon-lite-plus

You should save your pics to Google Photos. They have unlimited storage. Then you'll never lose a pic again. Select to only upload the pics to Photos when you have a wifi connection in the app's settings
[General Questions and Answers] mattgyver:
Incorrect. You'll lose pics all the time :silly: they're there, it's just a matter of searching through countless pictures to find the one you're looking for :laugh:
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
I don't have a problem like that with it. They are sorted by date, and you can use the search function. For instance, the pics I want to look at from when I'm in my hometown visiting, I enter the city's name and all my photos from there are available. You have to have location data turned on for that of course in the camera settings. Or you can enter "dogs" and find the photos of dogs you've taken as well

Cripes! You win! 60,000? Qualifies you for prolific photographer status in my book.

This is unfortunate and I have experienced similar in transitions.

However, the intent to BU was there and you do still have your photos.

LOTS of 'em and over a long time. You've kudos coming for maintaining that.

I cringe when I hear or read of people or members here losing photos (or any data) because it is so easily avoidable...

and yet, so easy to ignore mitigating procedures.

I try not to sound "preachy" regarding BUs, but it IS that important. One can either have or have not.

Besides, preachers remain sinners, though ideally much less frequent or egregious.

I'm not above this and can be proven to be a sinner with one ill-timed lack of foresight or an oversight.

Agreed.

Though I have concerns about at what cost comes this and many other conveniences.

Please upload some screenies from the original zip inside, and from the tool in the flash process. Also Try to enter to recovery (usually vol up+pwr) and factory reset it.... And... See if you can enter to fastboot (usually vol down+pwr). You have to be sure that the firmware is not lower than the previous running.

[General Questions and Answers] DragonFire1024:
Yes 0 is correct. You can try this in the build prop

persist.sys.debug.multi_window=false

Also in developer settings see if there is the option for "force activities to be resizable" and toggle it off if it's on.
[General Questions and Answers] filipsnew:
I'll try with 0 later. Can you please clarify me what you mean with

?

I had previously deactivated that option in D.O. Using it without the above command line, it didn't produce any bar icon. This appeared only after the adb command.

Many thanks.

It works with 0 (and reboot)

Many many thanks

has no service when i put a sim card .but

it can connect to my wifi and bluetooth only the network service is the problem ,is there any fix??thanks
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
"Waiting for device" message suggests a wrong connection or adb, fastboot drivers missinstalled or permissions not granted correctly.

Do the process starting with adb.

Enable USB debugging and OEM unlock in developer options.

From adb see first is recogniced using

adb devices

, (you have to get a pop-up message in your device screen, tap on Always allow, if it´s ok you can continue (otherwise not) with

adb reboot bootloader

then in fastboot mode when your device goes there use

fastboot devices

first, if pc recognices it then you can continue (again otherwise not), if it´s ok only now you can use (usually)

fastboot oem unlock

.

[General Questions and Answers] pe1dnn:
This doesn't help very much, does it? There are a ton of directories on the device, but I would be surprised if it is part of the filesystem since that is comprised of the following partitions:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system ext4 ro,noatime,nodiratime,user_xattr,acl,barrier=0,noauto_da_alloc 0 0

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /cache ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,errors=panic,user_xattr,acl,barrier=0,nomblk_io_submit,data=ordered,noauto_da_alloc 0 0

/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /data ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,errors=panic,user_xattr,acl,barrier=0,nomblk_io_submit,data=writeback,noauto_da_alloc 0 0

So from the nand only 3 partitions are mounted, none of which is the bootloader, just system, cache and data. Is the bootloader on /dev/block/mmcblk0p0?

Instead of telling me how, can you point me to a topic that explains how to extract it from the filesystem or from a stock upgrade package?

Last one about pixel density.

So, why do you think a Galaxy Pocket features 320*240 display, and not a 640*480 display?

Knowing that its diagonal is only 2,8 inches they could have implemented a better resolution, so that have better pixel density. Am I wrong? Is it just to make it cheaper?

For example, many Blackberries have a 3 inch screen with about 640*480 resolution, and that results in high density.

from any stock kernel for ur device only.. It contains the file bootloader.sin or in other formats too.

And i will also say this that u backup efs dir i.e. Imei of device and drm keys...if u haven't unlocked the bl yet..

So basically just extract the stock kernel from stock rom.tar..

And then use dsixda to extract kernel

it will give u the bootloader within it...

Or it's best if u just stay with the extraction of stock kernel and at the time of restoration restore the stock kernel and that's it done..
