[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] jotei66:
Ok first things first, lets make sure your P9000 is fine with your phone on. You said:

(make sure in dev options on your phone USB debugging is ON and USB config is MTP)

So from that you simply need to (In Device Manager) right click > Update Driver Software > Browse My PC for Driver Software > Let me pick from a list of device drivers from my PC > then choose MTP USB Device

Once windows installs this, a box should pop up showing your P9000 internal storage and SD Card (if you have one in phone)

To ensure that your PC is now finding your phone ok, restart PC and plug your phone in - you should be prompted by windows to choose a default action when this device is connected (I choose transfer files or something similar). Then everytime you connect your phone, a box will pop up showing allowing you to access your P9000.

Now onto when your P9000 is switched off... (the important part for flashing etc)

I followed the instructions at post #4 as I believe due to the anniversary update on windows 10 (the January update I believe) .. if you do not have the January update installed on your PC you would use the instructions #1

Don't worry too much if you receive "USB device not recognised" initially, (from what I have understood this is normal with the Anniversary addition of windows 10) it should disappear after few seconds or so. From what I worked out following post #4 you are kinda installing a MTK device (just so you can install the drivers) and then uninstalling that device BUT keeping the drivers installed (its VERY important when you uninstall the device you untick the delete drivers too, otherwise you have essentially deleted the MTK drivers & would have to start from scratch from post #4)

For me, when I connect my p9000 when its off it still shows "USB device not recognised", then after a few seconds this goes away and I dont have any errors under Device Manager > Ports (COM & LPT) & flashtools works fine as long as I press vol up as I connect my phone.

Hope this helps, I had a headache when I tried to install MTK drivers with my windows 10 (Anniversay Update Edition) - good luck, it was kinda trial and error;)
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] ThisIsMyMaster:
I am running the Anniversay Update Edition and don´t get an popup window when connecting my phone turned on.

As far is I can tell, a working connection with the device running is more important in the first place.

Now I don´t quite understand your instructions at this point:

In Device Manager right click, but where?

Blank space? Definetly not.

According to the linked tutorial, I´d have to right click on something like "unknown device" or something similar.

But that doesn´t show up in my list.

In the next section you said:

I can understand the point but after installing that driver package, there is no MTK device in my device manager that I could uninstall.

I seriously need to thank you for wasting so much time on me:angel:
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] jotei66:
When you plug your p9000 (while its turned on) into your laptop/pc... in Device Manager, probably under Universal serial Bus Controllers do you see a unknown device, or anything with a question mark / unknown device beside it ? If so, that's where you right click and follow instructions above to get your PC to recognize your handset. At this point just concentrate on getting pc to recognise while its on, then hopefully we can then move to setting up when its off.

lol its all cool ;)

PS: Just to make sure, in device manager, press View from top menu and "show hidden devices".. maybe it could be hidden?
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] ThisIsMyMaster:
I can´t believe how stupid I am...

Well, that solved all of my problems...

Almost...

Drivers are fully working for me now so I wanted to flash TWRP with SP Flash Tool to be able to flash the superuser .zip file.

Since drivers work now, flash tool started flashing and gave me the error you can see in the attached screenshot.

Fortunately, my phone isn´t bricked or anything.

Edit: After a couple of reboots of all my devices, I get back to where I was before: USB Device wasn´t recognized and Flash Tool doesn´t do anything.
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] jotei66:
All cool & its an easy thing to miss when your not looking for it (or for that matter if you dont know that menu even existed)

That error is a preloading error, I'm assuming your flashing TWRP Recovery and like you I had similar issue - I shared a simple solution here that worked for me here (it should work fine as long as you are on Stock Elephone 2016810 Base onwards so I believe, Elephone changed the preloader or something like that in later ROMS)

So Basically, you download the Stock Elephone 2016810 Base ROM from HERE & unzip

Grab Flash Tools ver v5.1612 (if your not using that version) HERE - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424940027

Then download TWRP_3.0.2.8.zip HERE & unzip

Copy the the "MT6755_Android_scatter" & "recovery.img" from TWRP_3.0.2.8 folder into the Elephone_P9000_2016810 Rom folder.

In Splash Tools, first flash the Elephone_P9000_2016810 Rom open "MT6755_Android_scatter" from _810 file & ensure the recovery section location points to "recovery.img" in the _810 folder also

Once your stock _810 ROM is flashed successfully, you then flash TWRP (with only recovery ticked) and ensure the recovery location points to "recovery_TWRP_3028_P9000" and your TWRP should flash fine. Make sure your using Flash Tools ver v5.1612, that worked fine for me.

There maybe an easier solution someone can point you too, but I know this worked for me no problems - you should now have TWRP recovery on stock _810 ready for you to flash your chosen ROM ;)
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] ThisIsMyMaster:
I´m going to try this now.

Do I have to go back to Stock 20160810 if I have 20161107?
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] jotei66:
I guess if you download the 20161107 ROM it should work, I'm really unsure, its a newer ROM so I guess it should
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] ThisIsMyMaster:
It didn´t work.

I did all the steps you´ve told me and ended up with the exact same problem I´ve experienced before: USB Device not recognized and SP Flash Tool doesn´t do anything after pressing the download button.

I was going to reinstall the drivers like you told me form post #4 here: https://xdaforums.com/elephone-p9000/how-to/how-to-guideline-install-mtk-drivers-t3344042

That didn´t do anything, I still have the same problem of my pc not recognizing my phone.

At least connecting my phone when it´s running works now.
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] Fran Montero:
you have to press and keep vol + when connecting the turned off phone to the computer after clicking download in FlashTools.

Regards
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] ThisIsMyMaster:
Tried it, didn´t help
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] jotei66:
MMmmm .. have you tried a different USB port? maybe a different lead if you have one? (I have two leads and I know one doesnt work for me, dunno why)

Also, after pressing download in SplashTools.. count to say 7-10 secs and then press Vol UP and connect your phone.... (I know this sounds bit stupid, but it works for me, if I connect straioght away I get errors too ref driver )
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] ThisIsMyMaster:
No, that doesn´t help either.

I think it has to do something with installing the drivers cause after installing them, in Device Manager no new drivers are displayed except for two Mediatek Preloader USB VCOM Port (COM5) and (COM6).

But those only become visible when I check "show hidden devices".

The tutorial said that some more things should have been installed but I didn´t get any error messages so I don´t understand what shouldn´t have worked.
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] jotei66:
Sorry Im at a loss really, maybe follow this tutorial my brother followed to reinstall the MTK and try again with all the above steps, good luck

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbJCbdfPlF8

Make sure your PC is in driver signature disable mode when flashing etc btw
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] ThisIsMyMaster:
Didn´t help either.

Current state:

Phone On > Everything working, I get the popup window and data transfer works :good:

Phone Off > USB wasn´t recognized, Flash Tool isn´t working, no recognition in windows explorer, phone is charging, vol+ doesn´t help

MTP and USB Debugging are activated

While installing the drivers I got no error messages and everything looked same as in the tutorial
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] jotei66:
Good to hear you can atleast use your phone to transfer etc while on

Just curious (although Im sure you have followed the video / other tutorials to the letter) but

(1) did you ensure when following video tut that when uninstalling the legacy device you unticked the driver box to ensure the drivers were actually kept installed?

(2) Check Device Manager, under the Ports (COM & LPT) section and remember you shouldn't have anything referring to a MTK device in there - ie like MTK USB Port (Com 3) ? (If you have it needs uninstalling)

(3) Seems obvious I know but you are connecting your phone and using FlashTools when your Windows Driver Enforcement is disabled? ( Literally restarting with advanced options & choosng Disbale Driver Enforcement) Many users think once you have installed the driver you can use it with Windows Drivers enforcement enabled, but you have to be in disabled mode.

Finally if you doubled checked all of those, then maybe try a different version of FlashTools (worth a try) and also try running FlashTools as Administrator when you open it - good luck
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] ThisIsMyMaster:
Finally I managed to get a step further

I don´t know how I did it but after reinstalling all the drivers I managed to get my pc to recognize my phone when it is in this sub-recovery-mode (don´t know if it´s called like that but I mean the vol+ thing).

I then get the icon in the task bar where I can remove "MT65xx Android Phone" Safely.

But still, Windows Explorer doesn´t show any device.

When my phone is fully powered off, my PC still says "USB Device not recognized" and I don´t get the icon in the taskbar.

Moving on to the Flash Tool, i first tried v5.1612 and then v5.1604 but both didn´t work, even in admin mode.

Basically, the Flash Tool still didn´t do anything after connecting my phone and I got the "USB wasnt recognized..." thing.

I did the Vol+ trick which caused the error notification to disappear and got me the icon in the taskbar.

Flash Tool still doesn´t do anything.
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] jotei66:
.... Mmmm pretty confusing, this is what I get when I connect my P9000 swithced off:

I get the error message as above and the small icon in taskbar, however this dissapears after a few seconds, & my phone starts to charge normal. (I am not given the option in the task bar where I can remove "MT65xx Android Phone" Safely" at all ...

When I want to use FlashTools, basically as I have said earlier in this thread, I press Download (I wait around 6-10 seconds) and then wjile keeping vol up pressed I attach my USB to phone and my Flash Tools kicks in fine

This is what I have in my Device manager (also showing all hidden devices) if that helps you in anyway ..

My thinking is, if your phone is off and when you go to Device Manager and see an entry for "MT65xx Android Phone" - try clicking on uninstall but untick the driver part to hold onto the drivers.

If all else fails, maybe as last resort grab a PC with Windows 7 on it (or set your PC to dual boot, and set up windows 7 on a partition - if you have the tech know how to do that)

I recently attempted to root my Alcatel 4060a. It did not go well. :(

There is a thread here on xda that explains in some detail how to root this phone, but unfortunately I didn't discover that thread until after my failed attempt. I used KingRoot followed by SuperSUMe. This actually seemed to work, and I definitely had root on the phone, but when I rebooted, it got stuck on the AT&T logo. Although it wouldn't go past the logo, I discovered I could still get a root shell on it via ADB. So, thinking I could fix it, I renamed the files in /system/xbin that appeared to have been put there by the rooting process (based on their timestamps) and rebooted again. This made things worse though: Now the phone won't even get to the AT&T logo, it stays stuck at the initial Alcatel logo now. I can still get a shell on the phone via ADB, but now I can no longer get a root shell, just a regular user shell. (And if I run the renamed su binary in /system/xbin now it gives me a new shell, but without elevated privileges.)

From what I've read here on the forums, there's no way to unlock the bootloader on this phone, and even if there was, there doesn't seem to be either a factory rom image or an aftermarket image readily available, so I can't use fastboot to flash it.

In another post someone said that there is an image for this phone available from boot-loader.com. I signed up on that site and looked around and sure enough they do seem to have an image for it. If I understand that site though, you must purchase one of their diagnostic/repair devices to use any of their images. Although that might do the trick, this is a < $50 phone, so it certainly wouldn't be worth it to me to spend more than that to fix it.

So my question is, does anyone here on the forums have one of these devices, and might be able to get this phone working for me again? I'd be happy to pay you for your time of course. Even though it's an inexpensive phone, money is money and I hate to just throw it away and start over.

Or, if anyone has any suggestions on how I might still be able to fix it myself without buying any hardware (or at least not any expensive hardware), I'd be happy for that as well!

It's frustrating because I've rooted every Android phone I've owned over the years and never had a problem before. Fail. :(

Thanks in advance!
[XDA Assist] xanthrax:
Hi !

I saw your post here , doest it mean that you have fixed your issue ?

As an advice , before doing anything with any device , knowing that you have done rooting plenty of other devices , don`t proceed to anything until you have this basic stuffs around : a flashing tool and stock firmware .

Cheers !
[XDA Assist] xenium1024:
No, I purchased a replacement phone. My comments in that other thread are referring to my replacement phone, which I was able to root without breaking this time. The original phone is still bricked. Fortunately this is an inexpensive phone ($30-$40), so I was able to replace it.

I'd still love to recover the bricked one though. It's not about the money, it just seems like such a waste to throw away a brand new phone just because it has bad software on it, even if it is a cheap one. :(

Oh, I know, and normally that is what I would have done. However this phone (even though it's rootable) has a locked bootloader. From all the research I've done, no one has discovered a way to unlock it yet, and no stock firmware seems to be available, except, as I mentioned in this thread, if you purchase a commercial flashing tool. That's not really an option for me since the costs of such tools are much higher than the price of this particular phone. :( That's why I was hoping to find someone here that has such a tool and would be willing to fix the phone for me for a reasonable price. I did find a shop that would do it for me locally, but they wanted close to $70. I could buy 2 or 3 of these phones for that price, so it wouldn't make sense to pay that much to repair it.

Do you know of any flashing tools that will work with this phone that are free or at least inexpensive? Since I have a second, identical, working, rooted phone now, perhaps there is some way I can pull the image off of that one to restore the first one?
[XDA Assist] xanthrax:
Unfortunately no, I'm not aware of any kind of flashing tool for this device, also I don't think that just pulling a backup from a device and pushing it into another would work due to its locked bootloader.

If there is any paid flashing tool then there's is a reason why it's paid, the developer got probably some paid permissions from the manufacturer to use it and he wants the money back plus some extra, certain devices just can't be soft repaired without unlocked sources

Attualmente sul mio HTC p3600 ho installato il player TCPMP 0.72RC1 però non sono molto soddisfatto di come si vedono i film codificati in divx (utilizzo il software PocketDivx) direttamente da DVD (anche originali). Ho provato a installare anche la versione 0.81 e i vari plugins (compreso quello ATI) e ho provato una miriade di settaggi, ma la qualità video non mi sembra eccellente per le possibilità che ha questo dispositivo. Chiarisco che i video codificati in divx alla risoluzione di 320X240 si vedono benissimo sul PC (anche utilizzando il Windows Media Player) senza sgranature, quadrettoni o altre imperfezioni che invece purtroppo si vedono con il p3600.

Con la PSP di mio figlio i film (codificati nel formato per questa compatibile MP4) si vedono meglio!!!

Mi date qualche suggerimento per favore su altri player da provare?

Grazie comunque e buon anno a tutti.

Currently on my HTC p3600 I installed the player TCPMP 0.72RC1 I am not very satisfied with how we see movies encoded divx (use software PocketDivx) directly from DVD (original).

I that the video encoded divx resolution to 320X240 are well on the PC (even using the Windows Media Player) without sgranature, quadrettoni or other imperfections which unfortunately find themselves with the p3600.

With the PSP of my son films (encoded in this format compatible MP4) are better!
