Has anyone who has managed to put their phone into a bricked/boot looping state managed to get it working again? In the case of my phone I have not been able to access fastboot, or even get out of the boot loop. It would be very nice if someone who has managed to fix their Vernee Mix 2 to write the steps to do so, or even for people to suggest some ideas. Thanks!

ghost45 ? Do you want help ?
[Android Software Development] MSD-Amadeus:
I am also waiting for a unit.

I saw this in needrom, it's pretty good, I've made one mtk6753 5.1, compared but it's not quite the same.

They could compare with another model that already has a scatter.

I'm sorry I can not put links and Sorry for my English.

I hope soon sources to compile :D
[Android Software Development] bigrammy:

[MENTION=8746259]MSD-Amadeus[/MENTION]

Sorry but you seems that not have read the rules and don't respect what is written in first page !!!

I don't want problem with my collegues here in Xda Developers you seems attached in your post is spam and is not correct !

Please do not write spam again!:(
[Android Software Development] MSD-Amadeus:
spam ???

I just wanted to share a tool to create a scatter.
[Android Software Development] rolandvb:
This is great news that there will be twrp for the mix 2 soon and even customs roms theat would be awesome ,i think we don`t have to expect much from Vernee on support

i did hesitate to buy this phone because of the risk it would never get support on XDA ,but i am glad i did buy it, for that money with the right firmware i think it will be a very good phone

for prize v.s specs, i am not a gamer so it will be fast enough for me.
[Android Software Development] ghost45:
Sorry but seem spam... And i don't want problems with ours moderators
[Android Software Development] MSD-Amadeus:
You could have problems with the moderators, for accusing span without being it.

If something seems to you span , what you should do is to denounce and not get involved in the work of the moderators.

Do you notice that I have been a moderator?
[Android Software Development] leongheng70:
again great work, waiting for a custom ROM here and maybe can help to fix my wifi issue where in a certain area, the device under wifi mode reboots every 15 mins or so.

I need a needrom account in order to download twrp...however I have been waiting for like hours and have not received a confirmation link to activate my account...damn

[Android Software Development] ghost45:
[MENTION=371528]Everybody[/MENTION],

i'm studing again this device i want to explain what i have found to all of you:

1) Seems that device (vernee Mix) not want to connect and dialogue correctly with flashtool...i have tyied all the version in the web..

2)Seems fastboot mode is the good place to flash the firmware but is not easy for everyone.

3) Isn't only the Dogee mix have same firmware but i discovered that all the mix are similar except to the total amount of its memory

4) The sectors of the partitions :userdata and system are different from the previous devices descibed before.

5) the first partition and the last called sys1 & sys30 not are located in the Vernee mix2.

6) the firmware is rebuilded but is not complete too....

to be continue...

[MENTION=2359276]Alexandr82[/MENTION]

this is the version showed in my device:
[Android Software Development] Alexandr82:
Mine is from 21/10/2017, so there are several firmware versions for Mix 2

[Android Software Development] Alexandr82:
How much RAM does your phone have?
[Android Software Development] ghost45:
For what?
[Android Software Development] :
for that
[Android Software Development] ghost45:
1) in case of bootloop it easy to stop the process.. Push the power button for sometime... It will stop.

2) in case of black screen the only way is to use flashtool in download mode but

not select preloader

because i don't know if it is ok.

But select (flags) all the others files.
[Android Software Development] :
That's right, it is the only point that I not have selected AND DON'T DO IT
[Android Software Development] mattparks:
Oh so if I got the latest scatter file (V4) and loaded it into the flash tool and under download I selected everything but preloader it should maybe work? As for a ROM would the Firmware Ver 3 given in the second post on this thread be the best bet? Thank you for the help :D!
[Android Software Development] zaner72:
load please the corrected skatter file.
[Android Software Development] anzo:
It works!

Power off device, Sp flash tool download mod, start. Connect device and wait green signal. :D :D :D
[Android Software Development] ghost45:
So at this point could be good to know if someone is in black screen if the process of flashtool run only with battery charged or discharged!:confused:
[Android Software Development] xabigg:
You are the best guys!! [emoji1320]
[Android Software Development] ghost45:
yes one moment i will update to

version 5
[Android Software Development] rolandvb:
not with mtk tools

i did download some of these russian custom roms last week these are not flashable by mtk tools ! so did not use them becauuse of the risk to brick my phone

so i am glad i did not try it because it did brick you`re phone. i think it will be wise to whait to experiment untill a normal flashable rom with mtk flashtool wil be available
[Android Software Development] :
My phone was 2 days in black screen, only the red coloured LED was on when was plugged with usb
[Android Software Development] mattparks:
I am new to this flash tool, what are you guys selecting/not selecting? Also who has had success with what roms?
[Android Software Development] MSD-Amadeus:
what good news!!!

a small step for man, a big step for the vernee mix2.

I'm glad you got it back.

Great job!!!

I can stop calling the phone in Spain :victory:
[Android Software Development] :
This rom together with the new scatter File helped me.

yes we can now play a bit more with custom roms :D:good:
[Android Software Development] rolandvb:
that was the suugestion i made :) to change P in D

[Android Software Development] ghost45:
The procedure written in first page and needrom is updated

Use to flash your device with flahtool this scatter version 5:

https://1drv.ms/t/s!Ak3omcbE1qj0gQeYr3fdGPzoCKTP

DO NOT FLAG THE PRELOADER FILE --->and make download.
[Android Software Development] :
ppl why we not try to flash lineage 15.1 from our russian friends ?
[Android Software Development] ghost45:
Who are the italian that is near your Russian friend?
[Android Software Development] :
HAHAHAHAHA OK I've understand I give again a try

PS: BUT THIS TIME I'LL DO A BACKUP WITH TWRP !
[Android Software Development] ghost45:
I'm a moderator in several forum probably i know him and i have had discussion to him!;)
[Android Software Development] zaner72:
it is impossible to me. can empty the battery?
[Android Software Development] rolandvb:
So if i understand well the last step wil be to correct/fix the preloader, and if fixed we will have a complete flashable original firmware:) :good:
[Android Software Development] ghost45:
YEs probably your battery have power ...tell us if you will reach this step...i write in the first page.

probably the preloader is good but need one test!
[Android Software Development] :
I think I was successfull because the battery from my Mix 2 was empty
[Android Software Development] zaner72:
well, I launched phone in bootloop. I wait when the battery ends.
[Android Software Development] ghost45:
good ideas!!!!:D
[Android Software Development] :
Yes this is your solution, please take care

-> Always use as Download-Agent DA_PL.bin !
[Android Software Development] rolandvb:
something is not clear to me, does flashing with mtk flashtool only work with empty battery? or does it always work?
[Android Software Development] MSD-Amadeus:
Do not install roms from there,it's fake.

No need to check, there are no sources.

But I have looked and they are false

---------- Post added at 09:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 PM ----------

they should pay for the smartphones that break.
[Android Software Development] :
now I'll tell you what I did and what happens:

1. As the device was completely empty, I started SP Flash Tool and I had tried to load the scatter v4 from ghost45, but an error message appeared to me.

2. I opened the file, I changed the "p" to "d" and I was able to load the scatter, after this, I was able to flash the rom with the Download Agend DA_PL.bin successfully

3. After this, I've rebooted my phohe but he had turned himself off because the battery was empty. so I charged a little my lovely Mix 2.

4. After This, I've started SP Flash Tool again and when I tried to flash again error message appeared "BAD MISMATCH" and another one, like at the beginning.

5. I let the battery drain, when I saw that the phone did not react I tried again and has again been worked and immediately I've disconnected my phone and reboot, but even if he did not have an error message, the phone did not start

6. Again I tried to flash the rom without error messages, but this time I've not disconnected the phone from USB and I had not closed any window from SP Flash Tool (with the message OK).

After this my dear Mix 2 was again booted without errors

---------- Post added at 09:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 PM ----------

Yea, I've tried again to flash the rom from fastboot, but the batch file want to flash parts from the phone like "radio" that our phone does not have apparently...

[MENTION=239250]amadeus[/MENTION], I can't press Thanks because my account is limited to 8 per day
[Android Software Development] anzo:
Preloader unfortunately it does not work :(

After reinstalling, recovery does not see the sd card, it can not be installed or backed up. :(
[Android Software Development] :
yes, when you are in preloader mode, the preloader mode is that what let you communicate with your phone even if fastboot does not appear.

And of course even the battery is inserted/empty
[Android Software Development] zaner72:
my firmware begins only in case of connection of USB with a hold key volume +. at you so?
[Android Software Development] :
You can do it, if your device does not connect and when you want switch Port, in order to communicate with SP_Flash Tool

It is OK, I've do it many times
[Android Software Development] mattparks:
I have finally had the time to try to use the flash tool to flash my phone, it will go to 100% very quickly and then throws an error like STATUS_BROM_CMD_SEND_DA_FAIL or STATUS_DA_HASH_MISMATCH, I'm also fairly sure there is no change in the phone. My preloader may be a bit broken from a rom file (I doubt it though). Any ideas?
[Android Software Development] :
Yes your Battery is to full, you need to let you phone consume all battery, so that is shutdown from alone.

Then retry and it will work
[Android Software Development] mattparks:
So do I just tape my power button down for 2 days and hope for the best?
[Android Software Development] :
or at least your phone is empty, I assume your phone keep restarting all the time and you feel it vibrate
[Android Software Development] Klaus69:
[MENTION=4945206]ghost45[/MENTION] : can u upload flashtool, please, because i cannot find the versions u used.

[Android Software Development] anzo:
After reinstalling the recovery, you see the sd card, you can not install or back up.
[Android Software Development] ghost45:
Sorry for the delay to [MENTION=371528]Everybody[/MENTION]... [MENTION=961477]anzo[/MENTION] do you have resolved the flash process in your device?
[Android Software Development] anzo:
Yes, it works. But first, recovery did not see the SD card. I did not know how to install the preloader.

I tried to put together a system.img file with the Superr kitchen without modification, but it does not start with the device. Do you have any idea why?
[Android Software Development] NDbluewee:
Hi @ everyone.

Great jobs!!! Bravo !!! Many thanks to @ Ghost , @ Roland, [MENTION=824741]NU_User[/MENTION], and many others.

At least we are not at the cross road ..... we surpassed that and hopefully, that Jacky Zou really can offer us the assistance with all the technicalities. Honestly, I doubt his service and honesty!!!

Btw, [MENTION=2645966]Roland H[/MENTION]ow can you improve the ringing tone of this Mix 2? I find too soft and hardly can hear it!!! Although I managed to improve the audio and speaker side to max lvl 7 still NOT as loud as other phones!!!

Thank you -:) -:)
[Android Software Development] :
Good Morning !!

PLEASE don't try to flash the preloader, I wasn't able too.

Instead, try to flash all part except the preloader.

EDIT: Attached a proof pic from my device during the flash procedure :)
[Android Software Development] ghost45:
So you have the device in partial brick?
[Android Software Development] :
my friend I think I had more than a partial brick, because I've flashed some .img file that came from a different phone ! (from our lovely russian site)
[Android Software Development] fxnoob:
There's a huge number of phones with same specs, I see Oukitel has one in presale. I bet all of them are using same ROM, 0 optimisation.
[Android Software Development] :
probably, but I'm still happy with the Mix 2 too
[Android Software Development] ghost45:
Yes you have right.. Many type of mix.. :p

But i check each type have different partitions and different start and end numbers..

But all of them, that i have seen, have 4gb of ram and 64 gb of rom.
[Android Software Development] ghost45:
Tell me better... Start and reboot in bootloop?
[Android Software Development] fxnoob:
Mix 2 fiesta. Xiaomi started this trend :). I would buy Mi Mix 2, but is soooooo expensive...
[Android Software Development] :
yes, the phone was like dead, fortunately the preloader was intact, so I was able to flash the damaged partitions from the phone

[MENTION=309187]edit[/MENTION]: I mean, the phone wasn't able to start at all even in fastboot mode and keep reboot in loop with a black screen
[Android Software Development] rolandvb:
works with non bricked phone

Hallo, i could not resist to try if reflashing my phone will work on my good working mix 2, so took the risk to test it for us all

i did select all exept the bootloader and flashed my phone with the latest mtk flashtool and did select DA pl_bin

and it worked flauwlessly:)

so this is good news for owners that does not have a bricked phone.

we can reflash our phones without any problem please do not select the preloader in this stage !
[Android Software Development] :
Hahahah, in the meantime I've reflashed my phone too :laugh:

---------- Post added at 11:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 AM ----------

rolandvb, that with the scatter file was originally your idea?
[Android Software Development] rolandvb:
OK !! so we proved it is working , now we only need the right bootloader :)
[Android Software Development] ghost45:
At the end of this day... Probably! :victory:
[Android Software Development] :
not bootloader, please take care we need a preloader
[Android Software Development] rolandvb:
sorry i i meant preloader of course :) Ghost too

[Android Software Development] Rach13:
I hope we will soon have custom rom because there is no point in flashing without a rom rom

---------- Post added at 01:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 PM ----------

what bothers me the most is that we can not hide the buttons as in other phones the oukitel mix 2
[Android Software Development] :
Why not? With the possibility to reflash the Device we are able to solve any Software Issue.

:laugh:
[Android Software Development] Rach13:
me with this vernee mix I have no problem neither wifi nor Bluetooth or GPS all works pretty well my only problem is slowdown really the official firmware is not optimizing
[Android Software Development] :
And maybe the File encryption from Nogart slow down our device too :(
[Android Software Development] rolandvb:
encription

Yes the Fuxxxg encription, i did reflash my phone and all the images i made i twrp and flashfire are unsuable and getting a error on all

image i made, so have to start over again en reinstall everything
[Android Software Development] Rach13:
I will not let go of mine until he has a stable flash with custom rom
[Android Software Development] :
maybe can someone try with ADB this command:

adb shell recovery --wipe_data --set_filesystem_encryption=off

I can't atm since I'm at work now.

BTW, for now, if someone want do a backup, you can dump your data partition with SP Flash Tool ;)
[Android Software Development] leongheng70:
the wait is getting more interesting, light coming up for custom rom ?
[Android Software Development] :
maybe for a cooked rom
[Android Software Development] fxnoob:
Cooked, as in modified original, right? What about a custom optimised kernel? Is it possible?
[Android Software Development] :
We don't have the source code from our Device, for sure we can find the source code from the processor itself, but we need a complete source code from the entire device for doing a clean work
[Android Software Development] rolandvb:
MTK droitools says error totalBytesPerCunck and does not work and thre is a unknown Rom struckture, so the rom is still corrupted :( or?? superuser/root does not work correctly
[Android Software Development] Rach13:
I bought my vernee mix 130 € on the shop gearbest by doing a dispute Paypal he refunded me 40 € because of the camera that was not Sony for 90 € is a good plan
[Android Software Development] :
Very strange, under SP Flash Tool, the Download Agent is responsible for READ and DOWNLOAD, so you need to select always one.

first try, with MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin

second try with DA_PL.bin

It seems that the MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin is no more usable, at least for our Device.

Now I've a Backup and I can try to cook a rom

Thanks roland for your try with the part decrypt :)
[Android Software Development] rolandvb:
The new flashed rom has still problems , and when falshing your phoen again you can not set a image back from twrp or flashfire it gives and error , password os ok but image corrupt, and they are not because i did flashed these same backups back and was no problem before falshing my rom, and don`t know what the problem is , now making a backup has no meaning when reflashing phone and become uselee afther flashing the v3 rom. so there aree issues,now i regret i did flash my phone, it works but not everuthing works like it supposed to be
[Android Software Development] :
Strange...

in the meantime I have created a backup from my userdata, created an update.zip (2,8 GB !) but it gave me an error during the flash procedure with TWRP

So I've reflashed my phone with sp flash tool, selected my backup file (userdata) but after a restart all my settings was missed and I need to reconfigure my phone from beginning

:(
[Android Software Development] rolandvb:
i think i found the solution, flash v3 firmware with flashtool and do not start the phone and install twrp with fastboot, when twrp starts first wipe data raboot in recaoveryand wipe data once again

then root phone.

in the file time before wiping data my phone sais it was encripted, now it is not, i also get no erro that something can not load when making backup, i had this several times.

so i think that something in the data patition is the cause of these problem , i am installing now everything again adn will make backup and will try to restore , hope this will be the solution

when not wiping data the phoen has incripted stuff in the data because phoen said encripted every time
[Android Software Development] ALOH70:
for cooked ROM, what can we expect from this ROM ? better peformance or resolve some issue like wifi/bluetooth connection ?
[Android Software Development] jasonklein01:
Would love ability to open band 2 LTE
[Android Software Development] MSD-Amadeus:
A format data can be used to desencrypt.

It is used in some devices to unlock roms by recovery.
