I will support this method. Please note that the following are UNOFFICIAL steps and these will not be supported officially...So don't mention about this to Customer Care
xdafirmware.com posted two CPBs for Yureka & Yureka Plus & claimed that it is possible to flash them using YGDP. I don't have any bricked one near by, so can you please check?

This method has been shared by DoomLord. Please note that the following are UNOFFICIAL steps and these will not be supported officially...So don't mention about this to Customer Care
Setting up
Step 1] Install QPST (2.7.422) tool - We will be using the QFIL tool which is part of QPST package
Step 2] Install the Qualcomm Download Mode Driver 9008 on Windows PC
The required drivers are in the folder QualcommDownloadModeDriver_9008
For 32-bit Windows OS open Allx86 & double click on dpinst32.exe to start the driver installer (accept all prompts)
For 64-bit Windows OS open Allx64 & double click on dpinst32.exe to start the driver installer (accept all prompts)
Boot YUREKA to Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 mode
Note: This is a forced Download mode which is different from normal mode, so this is a must step !
Step 1] Power off the device/remove the battery and the re-insert after few seconds.
Step 2] Open the back cover, unscrew all the screws for the inner cover. Pry open the inner cover to expose the 6 tap points next to the headset plug.
Step 3] With the battery connected, short the top two tap points on the right side, This is illustrated in the attached image.
Step 4] With the two tap points shorted, plugin the USB cable. The device will enter (9008) QDL mode. If the Qualcomm driver is installed correctly, the device will show up as a serial device.
Flashing YUREKA Hard-brick Recovery files in Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 mode
Note: The files needed for low level device recovery are in the YUREKA_Bootloader_Recovery folder, keep the folder in root of any drive (because: there shouldn't be any space in folder location).
Step 1] Open the QFIL tool, if you complete previous steps correctly, it will detect the device as: Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COMx)

Reset Phone
Waiting for reset done...Step 6] The device will now boot and get stuck at the YU boot logo! The device will be continuously vibrating
Congratulations the device is now revived!
Step 7] Close the QFIL program, Disconnect the device and remove the battery for few seconds
Step 8] Reinsert the battery and now keeping the VOLUME UP button pressed connect device to PC – this will trigger FASTBOOT mode
Step 9] Now flash Lollipop (64-bit) factory images via fastboot!

I am busy with porting tonight, will work with you tomorrow.
BTW, send a private massage about ur contact details, so that we can have a chat while debricking.
@quakze Just one question Yureka has MSM 8939 and these files are for MSM 8936. So this means that both these means snapdragon 610 and 615 share same firehose files.

What is the starting situation?
You bricked your phone. It can't be started anymore. No charging, no recovery, no fastboot. Your phone is not recognized by your computer.
What to do now?
1. Drain the battery!
Therefore you just have to be patient. Press the power button every now and then. It takes approximately 2 days until the battery is drained.
How do you know if your battery is drained?
When connecting to a charging station or a computer the led-light will pop up red and turn off after a few seconds again.
2. Download the rom for your device!
HTML:
http://androidmtk.com/download-gionee-stock-rom-models
HTML:
http://www.android.gs/download-gionee-stock-rom/
The drivers and the flash tool you will need are also contained in the download.
3. Install the driver.
Your phone should be disconnected while you are installing them. When you connect your phone now it should be recognized under COM port as 'Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader'.
4. Start the tool and set the settings like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
On almost every website it is stated that you should set "Platform" to "8x26". Do not do it! ( This was the cause my phone bricked)
"Platform" hast to be set to "8974" for our phone.
5. Click on download and wait until it is finished.
Enjoy your unbricked Gionee!
FAQ:
Q) GNQC download doesn't work. It gives the error "application failed to start".
A) Install VC++ 2005 redistributeble SP1 ATL security upgrade.
Q) I receive an "incorrect parameter error".
A) You are using a Chinese flash tool so make sure your copy of windows supports Chinese. Change local settings in the control panel.
Q) I receive an "in gnqc bp_image file doesnt exist" error.
A) Remove Chinese characters from the name of the image folder.
Q) My phone is not detected.
A) Let it sit and drain the battery in 1-2 days. Now plug it in via usb cable.
The biggest problem:
Q) My phone is detected as usb hid device instead of com port.
A) There are problems with different versions of Windows.
For me, this problem occured with Windows 8 64-bit.
It is recommended to follow the procedure on a computer with Windows XP 32-bit. Windows 7 32-bit might work also.
Alternatively:
Use a virtual machine. (I used Virtual Box by Oracle.)
1. Create a virtual image of windows xp 32bit in the virtual machine.
2. Install windows xp 32bit on it. (You need a windows xp installation ISO or CD)
3. Put the downloaded rom, flash tool and drivers into the virtual machine. (e.g. with an usb flash drive)
4. Install the drivers while your phone is disconnected. Now connect your phone to the virtual machine.
Now your phone should be recognized. Follow the rest of the procedure.
There are some threads on xda which try to help with bricked E7 devices. I just wanted to put all together and add some information. So make sure you check the credits!

First of all open your device manager. Then connect your phone. Check if any device was added (like unknown USB-device or something). That is the case if battery is not drained.

I had the same problem, I solved in this way:
Open the downloader
Connect the phone
Wait until it's recognised
Try to flash
If it stops, unplug and then plug the phone again keeping the downloader opened.
I know it could seem stupid but in windows the most of the things works in this way...

Link to the latest readback extractor thread
It is applying for mtk6260A watch phones as GT08, DZ09, GV08, T7, Iradish Y6, Q8, F8 and all variations
In short - if you intend to install in your smartwatch new firmwares, mods etc, before to initiate any flashing with the Flash Tool app (pushing that goddamn < Download > button) think twice, 'bove all better DO a backup for the original firmware, why so? because it's containing all original drivers hence you'll be able to recover 100% your watch in case of bricking.
How to:
First you have need of a full dump of your ROM. Assuming that you already got a Flash Tool 5.1308 and drivers, and you were at the point of flashing something (already chose the download agent and scatter file)
for instance let's say you have a DZ09 smartwatch:
1 - press < Readback > in upper menu and so < Add > in the middle menu
2 - click twice on the item appears in the main window, set name as ROM_DZ choose in browser the path and save
3 - set as Physical start address 0x00000000 and as Length 0x01000000 then ok
4 - press < Readback > in the middle menu wait 2 seconds and connect through USB your watch
5 - wait until the upload is complete (big green ring)
Now second stage:
1 - download the app I've built attached here (Readback Extractor mtk6260A 1.0.rar) and unzip it
2 - create a folder where you intend to keep in safe the original firmware and name it for instance DZ09-Orig
3 - do a copy of Readback Extractor mtk6260A 1.0.exe and place it inside the DZ09-Orig folder then click twice on it
4 - press <Load Readback file> and browse after the ROM_DZ file created before with the Flash Tool then open
5 - Wait about two minutes while the app will check bit by bit the integrity of your file
6 - If everything went ok and your file is healthy app will show " health 100% " so you can proceed to next step
7 - Press <Rebuild Firmware> and wait about 5 to 10 minutes (it has a progress counter there)
8 - When will appear the message " - ALL DONE!!!" close app and go back in the DZ09-Orig folder, now you'll find there 5 new files which are the original firmware kit ready to be flashed back in your phone anytime you want
AFTERWARDS READ ME story - Anywhere you search, there is no one to tell you explicitly how to extract from your mtk smartwatch the firmware kit
All says a halfmouth: Do a full < Readback > in Flash Tool, you'll do it being confident that from now on you say goodbye to any risk because you have A BACKUP hence you start flashing new firmwares. And the Big Brick is coming , you smile and get back to your < Readback > backup discovering that, sadly, you have a binary bulk at first sight good for nothing. It cannot be so useless, isn't it? after all it contains full dump of your ROM! I was in exactly the same situation, so 'cause I didn't find any answer I've started reverse engineering . . . and it worked, first I did it manually for guys being in the same situation, 've noticed that is a common issue so I had to choose how to help, simpler but dangerous (for you) way, to create a tutorial <how to> or the hard way (hard for me), to develop an app which will do all "cooking" automatically and I choose the second because in manually way there is a quite big "chance" to mess up with your primary bootloader which could get to a real tragedy - no modem - brickest brick you saw in your entire life
thanks
thank you very much!!! I was searching how to backup my firmware and I found this forum!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Unfortunately, my time is quite limited,follow the steps in tutorial, if anything is unclear ask here
Thank you Golem_ for this nice tut.
Unfortunately with my GT08 the FlashTool doesn't seem to start the Read Back process. I see the watch in device manager (COM4), installed the MTK VCOM drivers. I can even access the AT interface of the watch (when the watch is powered on).
The steps i tried to perform are..
1) power off the watch
2) start flash tool, start the Read Back
3) connect the watch via usb --> COM4 appears in device manager
4) flash tool detects watch on COM4 port
5) nothing further happens - Read Back won't start (not even after 1 hour of waiting)..

Thank you Golem_ for this nice tut.
Unfortunately with my GT08 the FlashTool doesn't seem to start the Read Back process. I see the watch in device manager (COM4), installed the MTK VCOM drivers. I can even access the AT interface of the watch (when the watch is powered on).
The steps i tried to perform are..
1) power off the watch
2) start flash tool, start the Read Back
3) connect the watch via usb --> COM4 appears in device manager
4) flash tool detects watch on COM4 port
5) nothing further happens - Read Back won't start (not even after 1 hour of waiting)..

you have to load a scatter file from a compatible firmware (just for initialization, not for flashing)

Try a RAM test (be aware, only RAM!), who knows, maybe your watch is on 64Mb

Most common mistakes are not turning off the watch before connect to usb and connecting at usb before to start a command in flash tool. If these are not the issue then go in options/backup and restore and set on no action

Thanks buddy.
Removed battery, tried again - changed USB cord - tried in different port - but still gives same error - Also changed setting to no action in Option-> Backup and Restore.... Few observations - on attaching cable the device manager shows device as Mediatek USB Port (Other drivers present being MTK USB PORT, MTK USB Modem Port, MTK USB debug port, USB Modem Driver. All with a COM port assigned. Then it tries to connect and gives this error.
When tried using download with scatter files and Download agent it again gives error - META ERROR - ERROR in BOOTROM COMMUNICATION.
Can you please help - I am thinking some issue with set-up or drivers... Your suggestion? Thanks!

In this Thread i will explain how to set up MTK drivers and Flashtools.

How to Install MTK drivers in Windows 8 / 8.1 / 10
what we need:
MTK Vcom Preloader Driver 2.0
Download : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24438995911977169
First thing we need is to Disable the Signed Driver verification on Windows :
To disable driver signature verification, we’re going to need to get into the Troubleshooting options from the boot manager.
The easiest way to bring this screen up is using this secret trick.
Hold down the SHIFT key while you click Restart.

}
Once your computer has rebooted you will be able to choose the Troubleshoot option.
Then head into Advanced options.
Then Startup Settings.
Since we are modifying boot time configuration settings, you will need to restart your Computer one last time.
After restarting your computer a second time,
choose Disable driver signature enforcement from the list by typing the number 7 on your keyboard.
That’s all there is to it. Your PC will then reboot and you will be able to install unsigned drivers.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Now its Time to open SP_Driver_v2.0.zip and start the DriverInstall.exe
it will open the install prompt . Press okay and dont change the installation path
Code:
C: // program files / Mediatek / Driver Package
during the installation it will start the verification window security.
Click on Install this driver software anyway
There will be an Error Message . - We Ignore it !
-Now Open your Device Manager and leave it open.
-Power Off your Phone and connect it with your Pc.
-you will see Under ports ( COM & LPT ) a Preloader unknown device
right click on there and click on Driver update/installation.
-Choose manually search for drivers
-Browse to C:// program files / Mediatek / Driver Package and apply.
-If all went good you have successfully installed the MTK Vcom Drivers. :good:

Windows 10 MTK VCOM USB Drivers for 32 & 64 bit + Driver install tutorial
To determine the version of Windows 10 that you have (32 bit or 64 bit):
- Right-click on Start then click on System
- In the System window that opens, in System section, you will find your version of Windows next to System type
To disable Windows 10 64 bit driver signature enforcement:
- On your 64 bit Windows 10 desktop click on Start then on Settings
- Click on Update & security then in the left pane click on Recovery
- Under Advanced startup click on Restart now button
- Click on Troubleshoot then on Advanced options
- Click on Startup Settings then on Restart button
- The computer will restart with the Startup Settings screen
- To disable the driver signature enforcement until next restart press on number key 7 or F7 on your keyboard.
- After restart you can proceed with the unsigned MTK drivers installation for your 64 bit Windows
- After you install the unsigned drivers, to use them again in the future, you have to repeat this procedure
To install the MTK VCOM USB Drivers on 32 & 64 bit Windows 10:
- Download the drivers *.zip archive and extract the folder from inside on to the desktop:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087012126
Right-click on Start then click on Device Manager
In the Device Manager Window click on the first item – your computer name
Click on Action then Add legacy hardware
On the Welcome to the Add hardware Wizard window click on Next button
Select Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced) and then click on Next button
Click on Show All Devices then on Next button
In the Add Hardware window click on Have Disk… button
In the Install From Disk windows click on Browse… button
In the next window – Locate file – browse for the folder that you have extracted on the desktop at the beginning
Select the version of the driver according to your Windows 10 version – x64 for 64 bit and x86 for 32 bit and click Open button
Click the OK button to load the driver
From the list of drivers select MTK USB Port and click on Next button
If a red warning window will open, click on Install this driver software anyway
This action will add the following drivers in to the operating system:
- MediaTek DA USB VCOM Port
- MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM Port – for transferring the firmware to your device
- MTK USB DEBUG Port
- MTK USB Modem Port
- MTK USB port – for transfering PreLoader to your device (and recovery in case of bad or corrupt firmware)
Now we need to remove the device that we have installed but leave the drivers in the operating system.
To do that, in the Device Manager window we expand Ports (COM & LPT) section
Right-click and click Uninstall on the MTK USB Port
- In the Confirm Device Uninstall window make sure that the box Delete the driver software for this device is empty
- You need to leave the drivers in the operating system and only remove the device that you added
- Click on the OK button to finalise
Now, when you will connect your turned off MTK device to the Windows 10 computer by USB, the device will be recognized either trough a MediaTek Preloader USB VCOM Port interface or as a MTK USB port if it is bricked or it has bad/corrupt firmware. The SP Flash Tool will be able to transfer the firmware to your device trough this interfaces. Make sure you connect the device after you press the Download button in SP Flash Tool, as the communication interface will only be alive for 2 seconds if no data is being sent.

Lost IMEI Restore
A common problem many face in their phone is loss of IMEI no. This is results in no network detection by your phone. U can come to know you have lost your IMEI by checking Settings->About phone->Phone information. There under IMEI section you won’t be finding your mobile IMEI numbers displayed.
Don’t worry you can restore your IMEI’s. Just follow this guide and you will be able to restore your IMEI. I will split the tutorial into two parts.
BACKING IMEI :
-First step before performing all these things is that your phone should be rooted.
When your phone is in normal state with everything functioning install Root explorer and navigate to the below location
Code:
>ROOT>DATA>NVRAM>MD>NVRAM>NVD_IMEI>MP0B_001
-Now copy this MP0b_001 file to your SD card or PC whichever place you feel the file we be safer.
-Now download MTK Droid tools .
-Now extract the zip file and open the MTK droid tools exe file.
-Now in your phone turn on USB Debugging by going to Settings->About phone-> Developer options and there turn on USB debugging.
-Now connect your phone and MTK droid tools should be able to detect your phone. U should see a window like this appearing after your
phone has been detected.
-Now press the ROOT button present in lower right corner. When it asks Supersu grant in your mobile click allow. After MTK droid gets
access u should see a green colour box appearing in the lower left corner which means u have correctly granted access to MTK droid.
-Now click on the IMEI/Nvram tab. A window should open and click backup NVRAM and MTK droid tools would take a backup of NVram in
its folder.
RESTORING IMEI :
-Now when you lose IMEI first try this method. Now take the MPDB_001 file which you took backup at the first step and navigate through
Root explorer to this location ->ROOT->DATA->NVRAM->MD->NVRAM->NVD_IMEI.
-Now paste that file and replace the one present there. Set the permissions for that file as RWER-ER-E. Now reboot your phone and you
should be able to get your IMEI back.
If you still haven’t got IMEI open MTK droid tools and connect your phone and press ROOT again and give MTK droid tools root access.
-Now click on IMEI/Nvram tab and select Restore option and restore the NVram backup which you took earlier. Now reboot your phone and
you should be able to get your IMEI.
Extreme method :
-After performing all the above if you haven’t still got IMEI. Now switch off your phone and open SP Tools and connect your phone.
Click on format and format your whole phone. ( This wipes whole of the phone including NVram region ).
-Now flash stock ROM through SP Tools and after it completes start up your phone. ( Don’t be surprised. Your IMEI will still be in lost state
only ). Now root your phone.
-After successful rooting now connect your phone to MTK Droid tools and again press ROOT button and grant root access to MTK Droid
tools. Now click on IMEI/NVram tab.
-Now as you see in the image above you can see two boxes IMEI1 and IMEI 2. Now enter your device IMEI numbers manually in those two
boxes.( You can get your IMEI no’s from your phone box ). Now click replace IMEI. Now reboot your phone and you should be definitely able
to get your IMEI restored.

EDIT: Nvm got it working realised I was downloading and plugging in the phone in the wrong order.
Windows defender says MTK Vcom Preloader Driver 2.0 has got a trojan: Win32/Spursint.A!cl but i downloaded drivers from http://spflashtool.com/ instead.

I have a solution for restoring IMEI:
In the dialer: *#*#3646633#*#*
OR
download "MTK engineering mode" app and start it
it will open engineering mode:
1/ go to "Connectivity" tab
2/ go to "CDS information"
3/ go to "Radio information"
4/ then select "Phone 1"
5/ At the top there is a command line "AT+" in it
6/ type AT+EGMR=1,7,"your imei number" (for example: AT+EGMR=1,7,"012345678901234")
7/ then hit "Send at command" (if you got error try to put space between "AT" and "+")
8/ go to "Phone 2" and type in the command line: AT+EGMR=1,10,"your imei"
9/ hit "send at command"
10/ restart your phone and it should work
You can check if it changed at Settings -> About Phone -> Status -> IMEI information
If your forgot your original IMEI numbers you can find them on the box of the phone
MTK droid tool recognizes my phone, but do not get the green button so root error. Granted permission in supersu.
If anyone is still struggling (like me) with the error: Initializing scatter file failed. Please check the name of the scatter which you load is legal
i solved by using SP Flash Tool 5.1552.00.000 downloaded from
https://mega.nz/#!ixdnhDLK!oOaAsJrcvJI0vH3fTsUOYjtDxQ_HT61E-_iuo6fTuKk

Why on earth are you using such an old version of SuperSU?
You are probably using TWRP 3.0.0 which does not work on newer ROM versions. Try flashing TWRP 3.0.2-1.
Well i used it because it is said to work in this tutorial
The newer one didnt work either, as you said i think its the TWRP 3.0.0
I would like to download this http://www.needrom.com/download/twrp-3-0-2-1-4/
but i dont get any registration mails, tried to register with 2 different emails half an hour ago...
The version here on XDA is said to be only for P9000 Lite.
Edit: Ok got my login by using the forgot password function - the linked TWRP 3.0.2 and installing SuperSU 2.65 works.
Thanks!
also would like to know, can we fastboot the recovery as per all the other android phones i've used? And then custom ROM to our hearts content?

Yes. In Settings / developersettings enable oem. unlock Bootloader.
Then reboot to Recovery and go to power/ reboot to fastboot.
Then Unlock your Bootloader with the fastboot oem Unlock command.
After that you can use fastboot.
P.s: i didnt did that. But it should work

Hi dude, thank you very much for your guide and your help but I still have some problems that I cant resolve.
Firstly in order to make my phone detected by my pc i need to powercycling it pressing "Power + vol up" and not down as you mentioned. I followed any step of your guide but every time I click begin download the bar under the usb logo on my phone it became red and the download did not complete and abort it self. Did you know how to solve this issue ?

as i mentioned in my guide. very first of all remove all kind of mobile related drivers and xfstk tood if you already installed. it is very important to install soc driver before installing xFSTK. moreover before installing xFSTK and after installing isoc driver you need to power cycle and connect your device to pc. and use volume down button. change the right flag value. and when using xfstk. load files. click begin download. when it start waiting for device then power cycle it. it will itself force into download.

If anyone needs this, here is BND-L24 Board Firmware, IDT Flash Tool, Drivers, and Instructions to enter EDL Mode and Flash the board software
**Flashing Board Software should be a final option. If you are still able to flash/boot into TWRP, HuRu or HWOTA would be a better option**
Download :https://drive.google.com/file/d/108uEQyCBMQSywCTOB2c7p9cz35dv_UP9/view?usp=sharing
Image I forgot to add to archive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bp_pqu-1HGLyxzsO5c7OEEfCmGjahz-O/view?usp=sharing
1.) Take Back Cover Off Phone (Watch a disassembly video from youtube for the Honor 7X if you do not know how)
Basically you use a guitar pick or pry tool around the edges
2.) Unscrew the plate above the battery and take it off
3.) Under the plate you took off, there should be a black connector for the battery, use tweezers or something to take that off
4.) Plug USB into either computer or phone, but not both
5.) place the tips of the tweezers to the 2 Short Points ( See Image )
6.) reattach battery connector
7.) While holding the 2 short points with tweezers, plug the phone into your computer
8.) Check Device Manager that your Phone is detected as COM Port
9.) Open IDT
10.) Add the Board Firmware .xml
11.) Press Start
12.) Put the dload folder on a SD Card and insert it into your phone
13.) Once your phone starts, in one of the manufacturer apps, there is an option for SD Card Update
14.) Once that's installed, you can now use HuRu, FunkyHuawei, DCPhoneix or whatever you prefer to go to stock firmware
THANK YOU! This helped a ton, I was in quite the situation! Black screen and only fastboot. But now I have neither so i have to do it again. Is there any chance you have the firmware for Nougat? That would be nice, as the current one is Ice Cream Sandwich.
Awesome!

Nevermind, I just realized the dload file you included is what i was looking for xD. And here I was trying to manually root with adb shell to somehow flash nougat from the OS. A very roundabout way to go about it i know, but there was that image verify thing...heh.
Thanks! This really helped.
Quick question, how did you get the crc files for each partition? Also can they be edited?

This tutorial is for the Honor 7x and the Huawei Mate SE. I'm guessing the errors you're getting are because your device isn't compatible with this firmware. Sorry about that.

Yes sir, I'm aware that this tutorial is for Honor 7x, as a matter of fact, I've downloaded the board firmware files compatible with my device which is "HLMHAAL00AM00A073 Board Software general 7.0.0 r1 EMUI5.0 05021YVS".
What I did was I extract the .ef file using easy firmware extractor then I run IDT v.2.0.0. I have no idea what's the problem here.
This is the new error I got after using update_nv_rback.xml
"usb1:Start downloading with VCom!

Hoping for your recommendation. I'm so hopeless. </3
I'm sorry I can't be very helpful. I'm 17 and I've never had your device. Some things I would try would be to make sure that the phone is directly connected to the PC ( No multi-usb bus extensions ). Other than that I'm not sure what to say to help you.

Did you guys have an ADB device detected in your device manager together with HUAWEI USB COM 1.0 (COM X), or it should detect only the HUAWEI USB COM 1.0 (COM X) when the device is plugged-in using USB?
Because in my case, my laptop can't detect any ADB device, it only detects HUAWEI USB COM 1.0 (COM X).
Do I need to have both drivers detected first, to prevent any error in using the IDT Software tool?

I'm not sure. I know my PC detected both though so maybe it's worth a try.
I have used this method in my hardbricked honor 7x BND-L22. But i have lost my imei.......
I'm guessing either the flasher is incompatible with your phone, the firmware is incompatible with your phone, or maybe you're just flashing it incorrectly. I'm no expert though, can't help you there, sorry.
May i ask for firmware file reupload ?

I will upload a copy shortly, I'm ultra compressing it right now. Mine includes the XML. I wish you luck!
I have hope i will be able to revive this phone.
In worst case scenario i will have to buy some credits from CDU and flash it by their app

Hi guys. After flashing board software, my phone boots to a strange Android 5 version with kinds of developper apps. I was running Android 8 before my phone bricks.
How can I go back to Android 8 or to a custom firmware ? When I try to flash the stock rom for my phone, the phone get stuck on boot loop.
Another problem is that recovery mode is in chinese, any idea of how to change back to english?
