Hello...I wanted to change my internal memory to external memory (by the edit vold.fstab file).I changed the lines,and reboot the phone.After reboot, - "SD Card is damaged".I format "sd card" (internal memory) and reboot the phone.After this my phone doesn't turn on.Emergency Mode,Hard Reset and Download Mode - not working.But when i plug phone into USB,my pc see my L3 as "HS-USB Diagnostics 9008" I install driver to this, and i don't know what am i must doing to repair my phone.I read 5-6 topics on this forum,and all indicators on bootloader damaged.
sorry for my english. And thanks.
xDDDDDDDDDDDD
why so many noobs get this idea?
i hope for you you can save your device with KDZflasher!
firmware:

flasher:

Do you read my post? Phone doesn't turn on..KDZ & ADB don't see the phone....
yes, because the phone didn't finde system space
the phone do nothing? sometimes kdzflasher can reactivate the phone (stil shutdown with battery pluged out)
if this didn't work: GZ, you got a full brick
only hope: JTag
Hmm full brick I have warranty,and it's my rescue

if you able get into emergency mode (vol up+vol down+power) then you can still flash it with kdz. but if not, just send it to service center... like mine.
When you send your phone to service,ur phone is rooted? (my phone is rooted,and i have little anxiety...)

if your phone hardbrick don't worry about rooted, cause your phone its totally dead
but try suggestion in post above :good:
CMIIW
be evil for warranty
indeed... they don't know if it rooted or not when it's totally bricked.
just give them a slightly sense reason for how's can be happen

So I was dumb enough to brick my OT 5038X by flashing boot image via fastboot. I'm gathering all the info I can and I'll be posting my progress here.
If you're looking for a root, just download mobogenie on PC, than KingRoot app on your phone. You'll be able to have SU in ROM Toolbox.
Here are some pictures, and what got my attention:
Is there any chance of unbricking my phone? I can't get any info on this, just a lot of people with the similar problems as me
Main problem we have here is that SP flash tool won't download. It reads back, but download is impossible, cause device disconnects when you try downloading. I tried without a battery, with a battery, with volume key down, with volume key up, and all possible hardkey combiations. I think that by soldering some of these soldering points together I can get it to work. I'll try measuring pins with multimeter for safety, so i don't burn something on my motherboard, I'll also try finding jtag pins that are in use. But I'll have to buy a "smarter" multimeter, so i dont get parallel port burnt, or phone mobo again. I have few multimeters, but all of them are cheap crappy chinese ones, and they don't read correctly.
According to MT6582 datasheet, there are 4 jtag pins, so there is just one unused pin. Hopefully I'll be able to write a program in C that will allow me to listen to the parallel port data so i can indentify which pins do what.

Hello, i have one small question. How did you flash the boot img through fastboot. I want the extact command. Also if you have adb then you isn't hard bricked because the adb-daemon boots with the kernel(bootimg).
Generally the jtag is for unbricking hard-bricked devices. You know with damaged bootloaders (IBL, SBL etc). And usually the points are close to the battery connector or behind the battery connector. And think these are your jtag point. There should be some GND points that's why you have 7 pins. You can identify which pins are GND with a multimeter.
And maybe is easy to unbrick your phone vio recovery mode. Have you tried to flash a full rom or a boot img?

I tried, but I don't have factory update, and my phone is running factory recovery. I know my phone isn't hardbricked, but I can't unbrick it, so JTAG is an option. I flashed bootimg with "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
OK... So I didnt miss being a idiot today again. Now I dont have ADB and recovery anymore. I flashed recovery with MTK droid tools generated image. But I did realize that it may be possible to unbrick this phone with SPFlash tool. This is the error I get:
Code:

First of all, jtag generally it's an expesive and a more difficult way to unbrick your phone. Also with jtag you don't flash the whole firmware. You only upload to the memory a bootloader which handles the update through sp flash tool let's say. And you flash your firmware.
Also if you find a factory pdate you can flash it through recovery. Was the boot.img faulty?
Boot image I used for flashing was for 5038D i think, there's not much of a difference between these two phones, but still it was enough to f*ck up my phone. I managed to get SP flash tools to the next level (luckily I have valid scatter file), but now I'm getting an error :
Anyway I want to find out where and what are the exact pins for JTAG, so I can help people who got hard bricked. It's not expensive if its possible to do it without extra tools. I hope i can do something by listening to paralell :/ I mentioned multimeter, I want to check if there's an power pin on jtag, so i dont get phone or parallel port burned.
Also there is no stock rom available for download, but there is source code on alcatel site.

I have done some research for jtag recently and usually you want a dev board to access the cpu of the phone. Maybe you can do it with the parallel but I'm not sure. With a dev board it's easier. Also we can make our dev board for jtaging and we can load on it openocd. It's a very good software fordebugging and jtaging.
Also there are many cheap boards in the web for example bus pirate (35$).
And there no Vcc pins or power pins in jtag. You power your phone from battery or from external power. There only TDI, TDO, TMS, TCK, TRST(optional).

Bus pirate seems like a great solution for me. Thanks for the info on JTAG. To be honest i didn't do any jtaging on "modern" phones. I did however jtaged xperia x1, and as i can remember there were VCC and GND, regardless of port you choose. Im also absolutely sure that one router i jtaged had power pins.
Anyway I managed to find POP D5 with stock firmware, so as soon as i get my hands on it Ill be writing a tutorial for soft bricked phones.

I'm happy to hear that you can unbrick your phone. But it would be nice to do some research how to jtag different phones. I know that it is difficult but as I understood your a hardware guy and you can solder wires to phones etc. So if you want I can help you to start a R&D thread with information...
Thanks for all the info. I'll order a bus pirate, regardless of this method I'll try with the parallel port. I definitely need one, cause I mess around with hardware a lot. I'm also willing to learn, so message me if you will with some interesting material. We can start a thread, why not. But let me do something concrete first.

What about Furious Gold? h t t p : // w w w .furiousgold . com /en/ module/ mtk-code-reader
The phone is not hardware-brick, but is lock by software. There got to be a way to bypass or pause the software for locking the USB port. I do not know if it could be possible but connecting the on-board memory to a USB adapter reader with the phone completely off. I am sure there is a way!
So it looks like this phone is not completely unbrickable. I've seem to brick mine pretty bad.
The phone doesn't turn on at all. No vibration or other kind of feedback.
Doesn't appear on the computer either.
So my question is: is there any emergency download mode like in qualcomm based phones?

It seems completely dead. Probably only with test point. Warranty most likely will refuse it since it is boot loader unlocked.

Yes Warranty falls if the bootloader unlocked. Test Point could help.
Well warranty will most likely only complain if it was bricked by the user and software modification.
If your phone broke because of an hardware issue, you have a chance that warranty still repairs it for free.

Well since it broke after I flashed b160 firmware I am most likely SOL. Since I had twrp flashed they will find out that it was modified..
My advice is not to mess with fastboot mode. Flash twrp and be careful with what you flash.
Did you tried to flash original firmware with the three buttons?

Yup. It's completely dead. No fastboot mode, no recovery or erecovery. It simply does not turn on (or enumerate in a computer either).
If you could boot into recovery,the rest would be simple....download the stock firmware, unzip it and push the file to your phone,then install

Have you tried to enter fastboot or recovery solely using the button combos? or did you try using adb as well? It's possible your battery deep-discharged, or your power adapter/connectors are faulty.

Yes I cant enter anything in fact. There was a suggestion to connect the phone without battery to the computer but it implies opening up the phone and even if it did something I don't have the tools to flash it. (dc-phoenix only seems to work with phones with fastboot working)
As far as I know the symptoms that my phone is experiencing are due to the fastboot partition being messed up.
As far I was able to research there is another boot loader before the fastboot one. But the phone doesn't respond at all, it is dead. I will ask around in phone repair shops if they can reflash the phone.

Before you do anything rash, have you considered getting a usb jig? Simply put the stock firmware on the jig then plug it into the usb port on your phone. It will automatically put your phone into download mode and install the firmware. Here's the link to make your own usb jig http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/guide-how-to-make-usb-jig-reset-binary-t1604707. Hopefully this helps!!!

That is for samsung phones. I gave on trying to fix the phone. Next week I'm going to send it to a phone repair shop and see what they can do.
Edit: The phone repair guy says that the only way it can be repaired is by replacing the emmc or replacing the motherboard. So for now the phone will sit in the drawer until I manage to get a new board.
Hello
I had the same problem with my honor 7, the only solution is to replace the motherboard :/
If the phone is completely dead, warranty will accept it just because they will change your motherboard if they can't turn it on. I had the same problem last week, probably an hardware fail, I gave it to them saying that the phone simply turned off and they changed the whole motherboard (bootloader unlocked, twrp and root).
Well I tried sending it to the repair center. Two days later they replaced the whole phone, they said that there was an issue with the power ic.
B160 works for me.. hmm.... using it for like a [email protected]@

I'm starting to think so, I've flashed the replacement and it didn't brick. May or may not be related to the headers, but I don't want to be creative right now since I need the phone lol.

Hi
I tried to root my P8 but ended up screwing it. The phone entered in a bootloop. Then i flashed GRA-L09_C432B317_Firmware_Europe_Android6.0_EMUI4.0 this firmware and bricked itself. The phone won't turn on at all and it doesen't connects to the PC. Any method to revive it or is it gone ?

Connect the phone trough an USB 2.0 port, not usb 3 neither a hub. Then while it's rebooting keep pressed the down volume button, it will boot in fastboot, if it does not it's broken or it's a bad cable
Yeah but that's the bad news for me it's not even rebooting or anything it's like a phone without battery. I thought that maybe there are some solutions for this like those for MediaTek or Qualcomm.
Thank you for replaying.

Hey
So I was flashing android 7.0 to an S8 and it completely died, this is how completely:
- No screen/LED/vibration motor
- No safety/recovery/download mode (and don't ask about button combos, I've tried them all)
- No USB recognition from device manager (not even as exynos in other devices, just nothing)
- USB jig does nothing
- It is however recognised by wireless chargers (but I doubt that has any real significance)
At this point my question is would a JTAG even work on it? Or is my only hope a complete motherboard replacement?

hello!
same happened to me ......dont worry i will help u....
i think u flashed aosp rom
phone is not hard bricked its still not turned off believe me........
do the following:
donot charge phone for atlesat 24 hours .......
after 24 hours try to boot into download mode press button for like a minute it will work in multiple tries,,
immediately flash twrp and when flashed successfully suddenly press vol down + bixby + power it will boot into recovery
charge for 1 -2 hours , clear system and every thing if you have backup thats good other wise flash firmware......donot turn in till flashing the system and data in recovery mood......boot into download mood from recovery and there you go....if still a problem inbox me
Thanks, I'll give it a shot
ok let me know then
Jtag dead phone to life and rewrite IMEI
I had the same thing, sent it to Fonefunshop in England, they said they could fix it, the didn't even open it as discovered by the guys who fixed it and is necessary to use jtag.
Fonefunshop said eMMC chip was bad, which is not true, but that led me to search for someone to replace the chip. I found A2Z cellular in Ottawa, Canada. They got the phone to boot up, but IMMEI was null( I did this trying to flash back to stock after TWRP screwed up). They rewrote original IMEI , now phone works like new. These guys are amazing.

Thank you all for the advice.
But I have now managed to unbrick and reflash the firmware. khawarjaved's advice turned out to be what fixed it in the end.
That was close, nearly lost £30

This phone is dead....Doesn't boot...no download mode....No recovery mode....
When connected to pc....device manager Recognises device as QUALCOMM HS USB 9008
Any way to brig it back to life...?
Your phone is connected in edl download mod. It will accept special files which will allow it to boot to download mode and let you flash stock firmware
The tool used for this is emmcdl.exe
It has to come with phone specific files
No idea where to get it. Ask people here, those who root phones. They know.
