Yesterday i flashed my Jiayu S3 to lolipop (i tought) and i just bricked my phone!
After reboot it was just dead.. when i plug into pc with USB i hear the connect sound and after 2 seconds the disconnect sound. This keeps on going until i pull the USB plug. When i look in DeviceManager i see it refresh after every sound, but nothing pops up (unknown device or whatever). I deletet all usb drivers with usbdeview, restart pc but still no changes.
I tried with or without battery, but without it does nothing at all.. i tried holding Vol+ or - or both or with power button, but nothing.
Read some threads about unbrick and install correct usb driver for jiayu s3, but all the options they came with does not work on my device!
I'm a little despered now and don't know what to do.. i get the feeling that my 2 weeks old phone is dead? :'(
My pc has windows 7
Did the flash with SP Flashtool 5.1516
Did not untick preload in flashtool, i guess i got the wrong preload or something??
Please help!
No one..? :crying:

Just flash it again, but this time with "Firmware upgrade " in SP Flashtool instead of "Download". Change from KK to LL needs reepartitioning, so firmware upgrade.
The reason why you don´t "see" the S3 any longer on the pc is, that the USB storage mode from KK, which is driverless for windows, don´t work right now on LL.
Once flashed to LL you will need to install a driver, for windows to connect to the S3.
@ Dior DNA:
No i can't. Phone does nothing with the buttons. Only diference if i hold Vol - then time from connect sound and disconnect sound is a little longer.. about 10 seconds. But still nothing happens.
@1testi:
Flashtools can't see my phone. I tried it a hundred times. With battery, without battery, with Vol - and with Vol +.
When i connect the USB cable i hear the connect sound and after 2 a 3 seconds i hear disconnect sound. This goes on and on until i pull the USB cable out. In devicemanager i see a refresh going on, but nothing pops up.
I'm realy despered on what to do now?

Why the SP Flashtool isn´t working any longer? You didn´t deinstalled the driver, did you? Just try to flash again with "Firmware Upgrade".
I don´t know a way to reinstall the driver in windows without the preloader. The only thing you can do, as far as i know, is to use a linux
pc to flash again. Linux don´t need a driver for SPF, only some rules.

Booting into recovery or flashtool I meant regardless of pc and/or spflashtool.
If I recall correctly:
hold volup and power boots recovery
hold voldn and power boots flashtool
If you can boot recovery then which one is it? Maybe you can restore something or manually flash preloader bin from there.
After the flash i reboot and then the connect and disconnect sound appears. So i tried differend things, but could not connect. I wanted to flash again, but flashtool did not reconice the phone and nothing in DeviceManager. That's why i thought to remove the driver and try to re-install it. But that did not help..
Holding Vol - or + button with power button or both Vol buttons with power button does nothing.. i tried to hold all combinations at least 30 seconds, but nothing at all.
I have no Linux pc or any knowhow to make a Linux pc.. or a pc to install Linux on..
One last thing you can try: remove the battery, wait a little, insert the battery again. Hold vol+ key, keep holding it and press power
button, while still holding the vol+. If you don´t see anything happening then you bricked the phone.
You will need help from a professional or at least from someone with a linux machine, sorry.
I'll try that.
You have any idea what could have caused the brick?
As i wrote above, moving from KK to LL with wrong parameter "Download" in SPF.
....and a not working recovery.
You should try this method :
darmowyinternet.net/forum/temat-poradnik-jak-uruchomic-uceglony-telefon-po-wgraniu-zlego-romu-test-point_383
unfortunately you have to translate before
Ok i tried that site with google translate and i could a little make up what they are saying.
But that is a very drastically operation, and i would like to give it some other tries before dismantling my phone.
So i googled and googled.. came here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889128
Had enough electronics lying around from my former 27mc hobby, so searched for the right resistors,
cut up a micro usb cable and give it a try... well.. nothing! Tried for about an hour and gave up.
Then i googled on Unbrick Jigs, but for what i read they are only for Samsung phones, so i gues the trick
with the resistors were also?
So googling again... came here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2454004
Reading the tread and the comments, someone mentioned a download for "Mediatek Driver Auto Installer".
Downloaded that and installed the drivers. Plugged in my phone and... whoohoo!! Something is happening! :silly:
My devicemanager saw an "Alcatel single RNDIS interface". I unplugged and plugged my phone a few times to
be sure it was my phone. Sooo... one step further! :good:
Then i googled on this device.. came up with all sorts of network devices, not helpfull. Then googled on Jiayu with
this device. Came up with this tread: https://www.china-devices.com/topic...vcomm-drivers-onto-your-pc-win-7vistaxp-only/
It's a tread about bricked Jiayu G3 devices, but i thought, 'What the heck, lets give it a try!'.
I downloaded the "MTK Megapack - All Tools Here!" and unpacked. Wend back to device manager and manually updated the driver
of the Alcatel device. Show all devices - browse - wend to Megapack map and there were MTK drivers for the 65xx device.
And yess.. when i plug in my phone there's the device: " MTK USB Port (COM7) "
SP Flashtools sees my phone again! :good:
Tried to flash a stock preloader, but got an error: "BROM ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032) – [EMI] Enable DRAM failed!"
But for now that's a problem for tomorrow.. it's almost 2:30 and i have to got some sleep!
(sorry for the misspellings or telling things not clear, i'm tired and english is not my main language)
Grats!
You can google the error. This leds you in the right direction.
It's alive!!!!!! :laugh::silly::victory:
Because the kitkat stockrom i downloaded gave me the same error over and over i searched for something else.
So i downloaded TF Extreme lolipop 5.1 this morning and give it a try. And all went well. I pulled the usb plug and
pushed power button.. only vibration but nothing. Then pulled the battery and after few seconds put it back in
and try power again. Only 1 vibration.. then tried Vol + and - combinations but nothing. (dammn!)
Then plug the usb in and i saw the battery icon.. it was total empty! (because of a week trying).
So now it's charging and i hope it starts, can't wait!!
Thanx all for the effort in helping me out! :good:
Edit: Ok, so i could not wait and hit power! It shows green screen with Jiayu S3 logo and text "New Load". So i guess it's prepairing for first startup!
my s3 basic is not charging when on.. also when connected to pc thru usb, ipc shows device malfunctioning ,and there is no indication on phone..I try to connect to sp flash tool also no success..same error"usb device not recognized pops up every 2s.everything else is fine..Any method to upgrade to 5.1 now on official kk
Kinda need help, happened something similar
It happened something similar to me.
I flashed the whole ROM, bootloader included, I was very sure that my model, Jiayu S3 3GB ROM + 32GB RAM, was the correct, but still bricked my phone.
There's no problem at all when I plug it into my PC, I installed the lastest MTK drivers on windows 10, having to disable the signature enforcement.
The problem comes when I start flashing. I only mark the bootloader, then I press "Download" (on the lastest version of SP Flash Tools), and plug the phone, with the battery in it (I've tried without battery, pressing all possible combinations and does nothing), when I plug it in with the battery and pressing no buttons, the driver is detected as MTK USB Port. That's a good thing I guess. But It does not pass from the red bar, and gives me the known error "Enable DRAM Failed".
I've tried to google any possible solutions, reinstalling other version of the MTK drivers, on different versions of Windows, with other versions of official ROMs, and the result is always the same.
The only thing that's left to try is flashing it with an Ubuntu machine, which is something I do not expertise to be honest, but I'm gonna gather some info and try to do it.
However, if someone has any idea of what I might be doing wrong (excluding the part when I flashed the bootloader, I'll never do it again), I would be really grateful for any kind of help.
Thank you!

Oeps it might be the same problem with the 32GB version as I have.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68036678&postcount=295
I am waiting for a stock ROM backup.
I have learned to never flash the original preloader again.

You're right, with the 32GB rom version (which is still unavaliable for public use) it worked! I still got it here, so anyone feel free to ask me the link too.
Thanks to xtyphoon and Dior DNA and everyone who made this possible, if you ever come to Girona city, I'll buy you a drink ;D

Hi,
A friend of mine gave me his LG Spirit H440 with the boot error: Secure booting error
In his words he tried to update the software, the phone started to lag and after a reboot the error occurred.
The guy is simple user so installing custom recovery or rooting are out of the question.
Here is a video I made of the problem:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fONioh6uNms
After removing the battery the phone starts for 2-3 seconds with Secure booting error and then powers off. After that it cannot start again until the battery is removed and then everything repeats.
I tried to connect it to the PC with Windows 8.1 and installed LG drivers, but nothing happens. It's not recognized.
Also tried to enter download mode with Vol Up and connecting the USB cable, but again it just displays the error and shuts down.
Is this soft or hard brick? I'll be grateful for any help and guidance.
Try to set it in "upload mode" and flash stock rom kdz

how did you solve this crappy error??
No I didn't manage to find a solution and no one was able to help me.
I returned it to my friend and he bought a new phone.
Sorry.
1. Power down the phone.
2. Connect USB cable to computer.
3. Hold Volume DOWN and insert the USB cable.
4. ??
5. Profit.

im sorry for ignorance but FastBoot=Upload mode?
Same problem, is there a BOARD DIAG option for this phone?
Hi everyone,
I see this is an issue that is being extensively talked about but after trying many solutions proposed by many users I am still out of luck, there is no way I can connect my device to a PC. USB debugging is on, USB config is set to MTP, USB drivers are installed.... but still, no luck, won't connect.
This means that I cannot even unlock the bootloader the official way since the phone goes undetected. I am on MIUI 7 Global Stable MALCNDE and I cannot upgrade to MIUI 8.... because if I reboot to stock recovery from Updater, the phone will reboot to a fancy diagram advising me to plug in a USB cable. Also, if I try to reboot to recovery by holding power/vol +, the phone boots in some terrifying recovery in chinese, with only four options that are translated. One of them is recovery and if I click on it.... I get that fancy looking diagram.
So please, any advice on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Did you tried the official MiFlash app? http://api.bbs.miui.com/url/MiFlash
Hello everybody, I own an Xperia XC and a couple of months ago I’ve rooted it and I flashed 34.1.A.1.198 firmware, Advanced Stock Kernel and TWRP-recovery. All worked fine, until two weeks ago it lost suddenly the USB connectivity. I tried different USB-cables on different PC’s but neither the phone, nor the PC’s act in any way. Even in fastboot- or flashmode it doesn’t appear in the device manager of the PC’s. I made for a couple of times factory reset, I even changed the phone’s USB charging port with a new one, but nothing changed. I could load the phone only over a power strip with USB-power-supply. I tried to flash the firmware 34.1.A.1.198 again using flashfire (I made a pre-rooted .zip-file with PRFCreator) but now I get a boot-loop. The phone starts till Sony-Logo and after a few seconds it turns off and boots again. Trying to get in recovery mode has no effect (pressing volume up or down and Power-button).
Has anyone any idea, how can I solve this problem? Is there any possibility to make a hard reset without USB-connection?
man why did mess with your phone when you knew you cant use usb connection???
try this: press all buttons and hold them to turn the phone off then try to get access to twrp(or any recovery on your phone) then use a usb type-c flash memory with your phone to flash another zip and hopefully just bring the phone back to life

Thanks for your ansver Kianush, but it seems the phone can't handle any connected devices at the USB-port. Besides of that, when I try to connect it in flash- or fastboot mode, the LED goes green or respectively blue, but none of my PC's doesen't recognize it as a connected device in any way.
I tested the PC connection with an other Xperia XC (my daughter's), it worked without any problems. It was shown in the dewice manager as an "SOMC Flash Device".
It seems like some USB-kernel drivers are lost (?)
I think an option could be using s1tool, but I don't find something for Xperia XC and I don't know yet where the testpoint is for this phone.
no OS, no recovery, edl not working...
hey
i'm new here
so hello everyone
i write this post because i have no idea what can i do else....
i try every method i found on xda (without dissamble) and my axon 7 still have no os...
long story short
some time ago i flash lineage 14.1 using Axon7_EDL_Tool
everything was ok
but one day lineage updater tell me there is update to lineage os 15,1
but you have to use twrp
so i download update
put it to sd card
reboot to twrp
Wipe system,data and cache
everything like i read instruction
then i flash lineage 15.1 in twrp
but it stop - saying error 7
i did not uprade TWRP - maybe it is a problem....
now i have no os, no twrp
and axon stop on "your device will boot in 5 second"
bootloader unlocked
usb debbuging on
i have win10 64b, win7 32b, win7 64b
I installed drivers for axon 7,
i bought deep flash cable
nothing helps.....
what happens if you connect the charger to your phone while its off? not to pc, to wall charger
also, does the LED flashes once and then turns off while trying to access EDL? or does it stays on all the time? or maybe never lights up at all?
Always, if you update ROM to higher Android version, then you have to check TWRP version. 1st attempt - try to install TWRP.
I think error 7 means that you didn't flash the Oreo bootstack. If you can get into bootloader/fastboot mode then you can follow this to flash TWRP. Or give this a try, I haven't tried it myself though.
you need los15 bootstack lol.Go to los15 thread,download universal bootstack v2,flash in twrp,then flash rom (oreo rom)
Keep pressing power , volume + and volume - and this will force into EDL.
Then flash universal orea bootloader then recovery. Then u should be good to go
I can't flash anything...windows can't see my AXON7 - this is main problem...
I tried the tools you wrote but they can't connect my phone
I don't know what else can I do to communicate between phone and computer
Change the cable.
O tried 4 USB and 2 deep flash...
Pressing power , volume + and volume - will turn the led notification red right?
Then you connect the phone to the PC.
You have to check the device manager, what you see there?
Can you get into FTM?
Vol down and power button.
Try installing Zadig drivers and see if that helps
In the device manager in windows you need to see
Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008
If all drivers are setup correctly
Try installing twrp via fastboot.
Hope this helps
Nothhhing appears im device manager...
Still nothing..
what happened when you press both volume button and button together? for Oreo it will just show black screen or it will show FTM mode on the screen if you on older bootloader. Keep pressing the 3 button until it show black screen then plug in to your computer... make sure you windows firewall and security is all turn off.
Can you check on Windows' Device Manager if the Axon 7 is recognised as DFU, after you try to enter EDL mode? (Also, usually, the notification light is red and stays on).
Similar situation
Hi,
I'm in a similar situation. I'm guessing my recovery was corrupted. I even disassembled the unit to try to get it into EDL mode, which may be working but the device is just not recognized by my computer, though it does charge. My next step is to try replacing the usb connector, or just move on.
Good luck!
