If you are using Android 6.0 now, you have to flash Android 5.1.1 vendor and bootloader (it's safe, just reboot to fastboot and write this command)

Can we also get nav buttons? When I'd flashed this, the lack of nav buttons, on top of not getting play store running, was a huge downer.

As of now, I think RemixOS is better.

Back button on left top corner. Home button on right down corner :)

Play store. I get SetupWizard error on logcat. This is strange

Already coded from PhoenixOS? Didn't see when I'd used it before. Anyway to modify it to more like Remix?

When I'd tried to install gapps, they installed, but trying to open play store it never opened. Was very odd.

Not sure I understand you.

I wrote that GApps not work in the first message. Can not you read?
[Nexus 9 Android Development] dictionary:
I can, and quite well. I flashed this way before you even posted this as a .zip. I'm just agreeing with you, that after flashing Gapps, I didn't get PlayStore running either. In reference to the buttons, I was asking if the buttons could be modified to be placed on the lower bar. Can you not comprehend?

smh, seriously some of you people are ridiculous.

Hello! When I power the device on the Samsung Logo appears for 1 second and then it turns off. I can go in download mode but can't in recovery. It just flashes again the Samsung logo and turns off. I tried to flash stock firmware via Odin. It was a success but again the same thing happened. Did I brick the device? Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
When you flashed recovery, did you uncheck auto reboot and boot into stock recovery to perform a factory wipe before booting for the first time?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Does the rom boot?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeepankarS:
The actual way to enter recovery is.

Volume up+home+power button

As soon as you see the Samsung logo..leave the combo then within a jiffy press the volume up+home button (no power button...NO POWER BUTTON!!!)

You will enter recovery.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3mel:
the far simpler method is boot off, then hold volume up and power together (nothing else) until you see blue text at the top of the screen. at this point you instantly want to let go of everything, and that's it...

I've bricked my phone before with mobile Odin and it took out my recovery so I guess it's possible the OP might not actually have one.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
[MENTION=4809451]3mel[/MENTION], the stock rom combo is vol up + home + power button.

What you are reffering to is the custom rom combo. For some reason they are different.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonSky87:
Apparently sometimes it's not the best idea to use the flashing software that the manufacturer of your phone released.

I have a Wiko Lenny(technically a MediaTek MT6572) that has(or had - now it's dead) the habit of simply rebooting into a bootloop every few months. Fixing that was simple; just start SP Flash Tool, format everything then flash the stock ROM back. Last time I did that was around 4 months ago, and since then I have upgraded to Windows 10, and as such, lost the tools I had installed.

Yesterday it went into a bootloop again. I didn't remember exactly what tools I used, so I assumed they were the tools that Wiko supplied a while back with the V10 ROM. Well, they weren't. I still thought I'd give them a try. I mean, it's from the manufacturer's site, so they must work even better that the ones I was using.

I was wrong. The tool flashed the ROM "successfully", but the only thing it actually succeeded to do is corrupt the preloader. For those who don't know, corrupting the preloader basically means the phone won't even power on(not boot, actually power on), won't charge, and the PC won't detect anything if you connect the phone. Practically, it's the hardest brick a phone can get.

The fastest way to fix that is by either using a JTAG connection to flash everything manually, or by entering something called the Mediatek META mode(don't quote me on this one, though - I never heard of it before). JTAG - well I don't have the tools or expertise necessary to do that(although I'd love to learn how to do it - if anyone can point me to a well-written guide or two about that, please do!), and I simply can't get the phone to enter the META mode.

Is JTAG the only way to do it? Is META mode just a myth? Is there a way to save my phone, or should I just say "RIP" and buy a new one(I have the money for a Samsung Galaxy A3, the new one, but I was planning to buy a new computer with that money - is it worth it?)?

TL;DR (It's not that long but anyway...):

I have a Wiko Lenny(Mediatek MT6572) with a corrupted preloader after I flashed it with Wiko's tool. Can I repair it or should I just buy a new phone?

I have an MTK phone and its always going wrong and not booting/turning on because I mess with it and break it :)

I'm sure I flash the backup I made in mtktools with spflash, and plug the phone in with no battery attached, I also have to use windows 7 on a dual boot as windows 10 never played ball properly. You also need the mtk VCOM driver installed, not just adb and normal drivers. If you have all these, and have tried them, then that is the end of my knowledge sadly. Only other thing is going to needrom and seeing if they have a full rom/backup with partition tables/preloader etc.

Also, had to try a few versions of sptools as certain versions didnt work, forget which one I have and which didnt work. And also had to use a samsung USB lead as the stock one didnt work, or the other way round. I just remember it was a ball-ache but did eventually work. Am not on that pc so cant be more helpful, sorry....

Repair your own device

Soft Brick: Soft brick is the state of android device which occur due to some software problems like boot loops or phone freezing at some point during boot. This only occurs if some software problem occurred in the device mainly during OS upgrade or ROM flashing. If your device is in such state then you are luck there are 99% chances that you can recover your beloved device without needing any professional help or spending hundred of dollars.

Hard Brick Hard brick is the state of android device that occurs when your device won’t boot at all i.e. no boot loop,no recovery and also not charging. This occurs due to trying to flashed firmwere not made for your device or flashed incorrectly. This is more difficult to resolve and often require professional help

in MTK Android there is many Partitions in your phone. like Preloader, Recovery, Bootimg etc….. if somehow Preloader get Corrupted then you phone will not able to DETECT WITH PC !!! in other words you will have phone with BOOT DEAD.

How Preloader get corrupted ?

There could be few reasons but main reason could be that someone or you Flash your complete phone (include Preloader) with wrong files or with wrong ver. Also there could be reason someone Delete Preloader or you Deleted.

How could i know my phone have preloader dead ?

Preloader can be dead if some one Flash it wrong and after flash your mobile will not detect with pc any more. for confirm

1.sp flash tools does not detect your phone anymore and also the computer does not as there is a pop sound when usb is connected to device

2.open device manager

take battery out from phone

insert usb

insert battery

and check is computer detecting any device

If it’s not detect then you have phone which Preloader is dead AKA Boot Dead

How can i repair it ?

requirement

1.screwdriver (by which you can open the screw from handset)

2.bricked device

3.a usb cable

4.a copper wire( for sold test points)

5.a pc with sp flash tool,mtk drivers and stock firmwere for your mobile

now you have to disassemble your phone and take pcb out. check there should be some Golden points. check these points there should be written on them Rx,Tx,GND,Vcc,Vcharge etc… check there should be written “COLO” or “KOLO” or“KCOLO” you have to Sold that point with GND After Sold Attach usb now your phone will detect with USB !! and now ready to Flash.

In some phones “COLO” or “KOLO” or “KCOLO” not written for those type of phones you have to test all points one by one Short Golden point with GND and attach usb cable which point short with gnd can able to detect your phone by pc isForce Preloader Mode Test Point !! Keep in mind Don’t Short Vcc,Vcharge or any other pin which have 4.x Volts also i had tested “Colo” or “Kolo” or “KCOLO” don’t have any kind of volts.

Hi I also have the same problem - when I flashed the stock rom of my LG K7 X-210 (MT6580__lge__LG-X210__m13g__5.1__ALPS.L1.MP6.V2.19_ARIMA6580.WE.L_P42) with the SP Flash tool when I was in a bootloop, I accidentally forgot to uncheck the preloader option. I flashed it to my phone and from that point onwards it didn't want to start up any more, nor would it react if I tried charging it. So conclusion: the preloader is corrupt...

However, I read online that MTK devices (mine is MT6580) have a 'meta' mode which allows your device to still connect to SP Flash tool even if it is hardbricked (in my case by pressing the volume up button, and then simultaneously plugging it in the computer). It is then recognized as MTK Com port something in device manager.

Luckily I have the same phone (but it's not mine) and I was wondering if it was possible to make a full rom dump from that device and restore it on mine? :confused: (a method that is safe for the other device as well)

Any help? Suggestions? I get the pc to recognize it, it even says connected to brom but then has no other communication at least through mtkclient
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gutclusters:
If you've used MTKclient successfully in the past, it should have automatically backed up the preloader. Look for a file called preloader_s98121aa1.bin or preloader_s98121aa1t.bin in your mtkclient directory.

I attached the preloader, boot1, and boot2 dumps for the REVVL 6 Pro 5G. The preloader ACTUALLY lives in the boot1/boot2 files, starting at offset 0x1000. Write those to --parttype boot1 and --parttype boot2.

So,

mtk wf --preloader preloader_s98121aa1.bin --parttype boot1 boot1.bin
mtk wf --preloader preloader_s98121aa1.bin --parttype boot2 boot2.bin
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] neondev:
Hello everyone,

Today I was attempting to revert back to stock on my sprint gs3 (in order to update the modem software version to nd8) using a one-click made by rwilco12. (Unfortunately, I am unable to provide the link, but it is on this website).

Essentially, it is an all-in-one .exe file which contains odin and the stock firmware combined. I followed all of the instructions, yet after I press "start", odin fails nearly 20 seconds later, with the phone (which is on download mode) saying, "Secure check fail : aboot".

As of this time, the phone is still connected to my computer and is still in download mode. Is it safe for me to attempt to restart the phone while it's still in download mode and try again? And, if not, is there a solution to the "secure check fail : aboot" problem?

Any help would be EXTREMELY appreciated! Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Yes you can unplug and restart. Try a different port, or cable.

Also, are you sure your phone isn't a triband?

If you're sure its not a triband, then you don't have to bother with one clicks. Plus nd8 is very old. You can try nj2 or oh1. Just get a clean version of odin and the .tar you need.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] neondev:
Thank you for your prompt response, I am now downloading the stock nd8 odin flashable tar.

As for the one click, I tried a different cable, port and computer, but all with the same results. I'm not sure if this is helpful or not, but here is a screenshot of the error the one click is giving me.

Also, what is the "triband" version you referred to earlier? Is there a way to find out while still in download mode?

Thanks again your help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
The triband is model sph-l710t. The "t" at the end makes it triband. Different phone, different .tar.

Also, try this odin.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] neondev:
Alright, thank you. It is definitely not a triband model, as download mode states it as "sph-l710" only. I will try that odin with the nd8 tar I just downloaded.

Thanks again for your help.
