[Q] [Help] Bricked UMI ZERO

Hey people, can anyone get me a MTK droid backup of UMI ZERO? I need it to see if i can recover my bricked UMI
pleaaasseee.....
Also, it seems my scatter file backup from MTK does not have all t info?? and SP flashtools does not accept the ones included in the Ota-updates... so if anyone please can also get me a good scatter file ... i would be much apreciated.

Hello, you can get the rom including scatter file from Needrom! Just flash trough sp tool and you will be fine.
Sent from my UMI ZERO using XDA Free mobile app

please tell mew how you did it . i am so upset that my phone is absoluteley dead

Hi there raducux,
Well, this was about another situation, but mixing with ROM's cooking I was able to brick it again it was mrsim who help me (mod at china-devices.com, credit where is due). But I will tell you how I did it.
You need to have the adb android drivers installed and flashtool v5.1 or up (the one I used, but some people use the 3.1 version).
Download this ROM from needrom (scatter file compatible with FT).
Link: http://www.needrom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Y800_UMI_20141104_1907xx-s7yler.zip or
http://www.needrom.com/download/umi-zero/
Extract, and in flashtools select the scatter file inside the directory you extracted. Press flash, and (after pressing flash) connect the phone to the USB port holding the volume down key (so the phone connects in META mode), and the process should begin.
If all works well after flashing the phone should boot the new ROM, its version 3.01 so you have to upgrade it.
If that does not work, tell me a few things... I suppose the phone does not start or appear the 'Zero' logo, but tell me if when you connect it to the computer you ear the normal plugin USB sound?
FlashTools (all versions)
http://helpadude.com/sp-flash-tools/
Universal ADB Driver
http://www.needrom.com/download/universal-adb-driver/
Tell me if it worked, or if you need more help tell me what happened and how the phone responds. lot of people here also that can help. My 1st thing I check when buying a new phone (for many years now), is if it's 'XDA' Supported...
cheers

But after flashing is done phone rebooted and it only shows black screen with bright light. Somwhere if we touch on screen then at some specific points screen shows vibration.. but only black screen is there. And then i can only force restart it and forcely shut down it.
Then i thoght to do everything from begaining. Now conditions is that if i connect it to my pc and tried to find adb devices. Cmd window shows device connected in recovery mode. Now i have original rom of asus zenfone 2 but how to flash phone with it when there is no display on phone and computer shows device is connected but in recovery mode.

Same happend to me, can't even unbrick it.

Z00A bricked
I used twrp to update the MM zip. it hung for hours so I turned it off. now all I get is a black screen and 2 vibrations. sometimes I can get to fastboot but no matter what I select it restarts to a black screen with 2 vibrations or occasionally a group of color bars. ADB cannot see the device. I have installed intel SOCusb and tried updating the with xFSTK. device manager sees a moorefield device then it disappears, in and out. xFSTK gets through updating dnx_fwr.bin and ifwi.bin but it loses connection to the moorefield device and fails to continue on to update droidboot_dnx.img.POS_sign.bin. I have uninstalled and reinstalled intel SOCusb and xFSTK several times and tried installing them in different orders. same problem. Moorefield device loses connection. I also tried using Asus Flash Tool. sometimes it detects my device, other times not. when it does detect it and I select the raw file and it says it is flashing but nothing happens after hours. I'm not sure what else to try.

Did you and all others who are having trouble with the zenfone make sure to flash any custom kernel for your rom?? If one is available.. Just a suggestion.. Make sure you're trying to flash the right device and exact model, any follow any guides properly. Go back over and read each step thoroughly just to rule out any steps you may have missed along the way

The problem is they are trying to flash official MM with twrp. Can't be done that way.

Yeah, I got that far. I'm hoping for a way to unbrick it now.

Ahh, yes.. In that case then you're spot on. To flash any stock firmware, the device needs to be set back to stock factory defaults. And thats because the stock kernel needs to be present so that the stock firmware (official) is able to be flashed properly without bootloops/bricking etc. Think of it as a safety feature

I understand that part, but since you have twrp installed, you're not actually considered as being on complete stock.. You're using a custom kernel right? Hence the whole reason why you cant flash stock MM rom via twrp
You need to flash it using a flash tool program for your specific device. (Sony = flashtool, Samsung = Odin. Etc etc).. If you dont need to back anything up orif you already have. Then just flash the stock rom via your devices flash tool using your pc or or via a method that is specific to your device..
There's really no way around it unless you wanna brick your device..
And another person has also mentioned the same thing. That you wont be able to flash stock rom via custom recovery. It ain't gonna happen..
You have to reset your device completely to stock.. And that includes STOCK kernel..

Ok ... first of all..
Do you have all the necessary files on your external SD CARD ready??
------------------If yes then continue on-------------------
1. Open up adb and fastboot with admin privileges..
2. connect your device to your PC in ADB mode
3. in ADB cmd type adb reboot bootloader
***If you have already completed step 4 below previously and you are sure you already have a custom recovery (TWRP) installed on your device, then skip straight to step 5***
4 fastboot flash recovery [nameofrecovery].img (Without the brackets and also Make sure The Recovery.img file is SPECIFICALLY for your MODEL.. ***ZE550ML***
5. While your device is still connected to your PC in either ADB or fastboot mode
in ADB just type the following command below
(if connected via adb) - adb reboot recovery or adb boot recovery
(If connected via fastboot) - fastboot reboot recovery or fastboot boot recovery
IF you device reboots in to TWRP successfully, then all you need to do from this point is...
1. wipe data/Factory reset
2. wipe cache partition
3. reboot now.
you should now be able to boot your device like normal
good luck
let the process complete.. after factory reset is complete proceed

Hi! yes, i did that, my phone showed in devices manager as Moorefield and xfstk dont show any errors after the "begin download" The process is completed without any problem. The phone restart and show me the 4 colours and then restart, not showing me the fastboot. I did many times the process of xfstk, but always is the same result.
pd: excuse my english.

Phone Doesn't turn on

Hi,
I was using CM13 based Nuclea OS. Tried to Lock the bootloader using the tool provided in this forum. But after that, the phone kep on starting on and off continuously and showing only Zuk Z1 logo after each boot. Then I pressed Vol UP + Vol Down + Power button for some time and the phone switched off. Now I am not able to switch it on. Tried by holding all 3 buttons and power button alone as well. Battery was 90% when I did this. Any clue?
Thanks,
Sarin

Somehow I turned the phone on (tried multiple key combinations and one of them worked). But now the Phone is in a boot loop again, ie. The Logo and 'Powered by Android' message appears after a vibration and then it switches off. This is being coontinued for the past 8 hours.

That is because u have wiped all of ur phones data and phone is bricked now
..Try connecting to pc and install Twrp recovery by going to fastboot

Fastboot was not detecting the phone as it's restarting continuously. Some how I switched off the phone (I Guess I pressed and hold Power button for a very very long time and then released). Then installed ZUI Version using QFIL. Did lot of search to get the Diag Port drivers and after that it detected and installed software.
Now trying to install Original CM 12.1 OS.
Coming to the real problem why I tried to lock boot loader - Now a days all apps started checking whether phone is rooted or not I guess. It's not allowing me to install the SBI Pay App or the new IRCTC App in India. (Though Root is disabled in settings). So is there a way to install CM13/CM14 without rooting the phone.

You can go to developmee option and there is an optiom for enabling root
.. enable it and enjoy apps

I guess you got me wrong. Apps gives error that 'Your phone is rooted, Please un-root to continue'. This shows up irrespective of Root is enabled or disabled in Developer options.

And yes... There is a way for that... Install Xposed. And try RootCloak... It's a root hider app. If it works then great. If not, let me know. There is another workaround.

Followed this tutorial to Flash ZUI Version. But for the Drivers I forgot which link I used. I can upload it to Google Drive and post it here.

ok here what u do:
1. I know the device isn't getting charged, no logo.no recovery,no flash-boot,even won't get detected on windows but,don't panic... first thing is to believe in urself that u can fix that device...
2.. second powering of ur device, so to do that observe the vibrate pattern carefully... very carefully... you'll notice while holding up the power after some vibrations(for me 12) it'll skip one vibration.that's the moment my friend release the power button.
3. so now u have to flash the ROM with QFIL & the cyanogen QFIL file ...
4. now before get into the process make sure u download all the drivers(ZUK drivers & Qualcomm Drivers)
5. installing drivers:
boot ur system into the state that ensures driver signature verification is disabled install zuk drivers if u haven't.
now install Qualcomm Drivers depending upon ur system
6. install Qpst
7. now unzip the ROM.
8. run Qpst as admin
9. select the flat build mode on Qpst and browse the extracted rom folder...u'll get to see the ".mbn " file, select it , load XML
10. now the most important thing press the vol+ button and plug the device (it won't get detected),now after 1sec of pluging it press power button it''ll get detected and press the download button ....
11. wait for the flash....get a cup of coffee..
12. u'll get a messege like download success... u r done mate..

Sure, thanks for the advice.
Btw were you able to change the splash.img/boot logo?

This state isn't named as it is hard bricked ...if it was it won't even vibrate at all...that's we call it as a hard bricked device... it was soft bricked .... in a BOOOOOOOTLOOOOOOOOOOP...
There r various type of bootloops

I have the same problem. I went to flash a boot image and I messed up. QFIL does not detect my phone maybe beacuse Qualcomm drivers are not getting installed using the INF file.
I have shut the vibrations using the power button step. But as soon as I plug it in with volume up held down, it starts all over again.

I have disabled the driver signature verification while rebooting using F8 key.
However, I still get the same error message while installing the INF file that The INF file you selected does not support this method of installation.

Hei!!! You are the best. I followed your instructions and it seems it works 100%. You saved my day. I cant thank you enough.

ADDICTED777 said:
ok here what u do:
1. I know the device isn't getting charged, no logo.no recovery,no flash-boot,even won't get detected on windows but,don't panic... first thing is to believe in urself that u can fix that device...
2.. second powering of ur device, so to do that observe the vibrate pattern carefully... very carefully... you'll notice while holding up the power after some vibrations(for me 12) it'll skip one vibration.that's the moment my friend release the power button.
3. so now u have to flash the ROM with QFIL & the cyanogen QFIL file ...
4. now before get into the process make sure u download all the drivers(ZUK drivers & Qualcomm Drivers)
5. installing drivers:
boot ur system into the state that ensures driver signature verification is disabled install zuk drivers if u haven't.
now install Qualcomm Drivers depending upon ur system
6. install Qpst
7. now unzip the ROM.
8. run Qpst as admin
9. select the flat build mode on Qpst and browse the extracted rom folder...u'll get to see the ".mbn " file, select it , load XML
10. now the most important thing press the vol+ button and plug the device (it won't get detected),now after 1sec of pluging it press power button it''ll get detected and press the download button ....
11. wait for the flash....get a cup of coffee..
12. u'll get a messege like download success... u r done mate..

ZUK Z1 Hard Bricked
Greetings, everyone. I've got a hard bricked zuk z1 which just went into the state all of a sudden.
I was using lineage o.s pie roms, and had faced some Random Reboots also. Not sure what happened, but here's what i did:
Installed zuk drivers
installed qualcomm drivers
installed adb and fastboot(minimal abd and fastboot)
installed qfil, which comes with QPST v2.7.0.460
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Downloaded the zuk stock firmware files
pressed vol+ and plugged the usb
Got detected in 9008 mode
QFIL also detected it and chose the correct files and started downloading in FLAT build
mode
now, QFIL shows this error at the end:-
Code:

Hope someone can help me . Oh, by the way, the bricking is like "fully-dead" bricking. No vibrations, display, led, nothing.

Hello there!. As far as i know, from what you've said,
The phone still vibrates and shows led, which is a good thing.
About the qfil:
Check whether you are using the latest version of QFIL. Many errors did arise while using the earlier ones.
Make sure you haven't messed up any QFIL configuration settings, and check whether the selected build type is "FLAT".
If you are having trouble with the current firmware files, then download another one for the zuk z1, and check if it works. This is because errors can come from wrong/bad programmer files.
::::: This is all assuming that there are no driver issues & that you know well, how to work with QFIL :::::
Hope this helps....

Sharp Z2 brick, no fastboot, black screen, not booting

Hi @xda Team,
couldn't find any threads releted to Sharp Z2, which would match to my issue, so that's why I'm trying it in this forum.
I have Sharp Z2 phone (https://www.gsmarena.com/sharp_z2-8410.php).
I tried to root it and to install/flash TWRP recovery on it. Because of realy less information for this phone it was difficult to find proper files.
So I tried with an official version of TWRP.... didn't worked.... after long time, I found on an chineese forum some instructions for flashing the TWRP through ADB/Fastboot.
Bacause I have successfully used this technology already several times on other phones, I was happy to have finaly found something AND forgot to check the skripts
The result is, that after unsuccessfully flashing the bootloader got blocked trough this script (OEM blocked). Now my phone is not booting. I have no access to FASTBOOT and to RECOVERY mode.
I have found an unbrick instruction for LeEco s3 (based on x620) using the SP Flashtool (I have used it successfully for my other phone LeEco S3).
Following this intruction on my Sharp I'm getting following message:
"BROM ERROR: STATUS_SEC_PL_VFV_FAIL......."
It looks to my, that I have not all permissions to flash the phone.
SO still NOT BOOTING, NO ACCESS to FASTBOOT AND TO RECOVERY MODE.
Also on XDA Forum I found this guide for an ASUS Phone (https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/help/thead-bricked-phone-updating-to-mm-tips-t3452785)
UPDATE:
SP Flashtool is not able to load the preloader file. Always stops with the same error: BROM ERROR: STATUS_SEC_PL_VFV_FAIL......."
In some forums I've read that flashing with wrong preloader can cause my issue and that in this case there is nothing there to save / recover the phone.
I still hope, that because of the Android OS there is still a chae to unbrick it.
Please HELP!!!
Thanks in advance.

mine is in a similar state but i still have access to the fastboot; i can reboot to bootloader or recovery but only to acccess fastboot. there is no recovery tool left on it and attempt to flash twrp - various versions of those have all been failed attempts. handset is still in the brick state with access to fastboot but no use.
please help to get this working again, given the fastboot is working, can i use any other recovery tool except for twrp to maybe get to having OS flashed?

Hi. On the forum 4pda have firmware under flashtool

I don't understand why to flashing preloader
TWRP --- Install ROM or SuperSu.zip
firmware under flashtool
Click on the SP Flash Tool "Download" and connect the switched off phone with the Vol "-" key pressed as on the screen, the tick on the Preloader is not worth it! Release the key a few seconds after filling the 100% red bar. Wait for the end of the firmware and the appearance of a green tick. Disconnect the phone from the PC and try to turn it on
