Back from hardbrick - Hardware Hacking General

Hello,
I managed to reinstall my hardbrick phone. Turns on, it works, but there are bugs:
- the screen does not respond properly to the touch;
- find the wifi network, but it will not connect
- in camera mode, "gallery application unfortunately stopped" message.
To be complete:
I found two ROMs for the phone. The original and an upgrade version. Both of them were downloaded from needrom.com. After installing the original, there were only two errors:
- camera;
- WiFi.
After installing the upgrade, the screen error came up. I tried to reinstall the original but there was a problem with the screen error.
Now it's just softbrick.
The phone is a Chinese device, SSTX P8 +. MT6580
Can anyone help me improve my bugs?

[Q] Bricked phone after failed RTM Mango Update

Hi guys
Just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction before I send my Samsung Omina 7 in for repair. First a brief history
Updated previously from NoDo to the first mango beta without issue, then again to the refresh beta without a problem. Decided today that I would for RTM.
During update process updatewp kept timing out - I've since read resetting the device before attempting or deleting some of the zip files in the RTM package fixes this.
Instead of searching forums I unplugged the device and reset it when it wouldn't reboot. This left me with a completely unstable OS. It took ages to boot up and most apps wouldn't load.
I tried to restore my NoDo backup from the Zune beta but it didn't work. I uninstalled Zune Beta and drivers and attempted the restore using the current Zune version and again the restore would not work.
Figured I would just reflash the rom instead so I followed the guide below.

This also failed - I can get into download mode, and WP7 Downloader looks like it's proceeding correctly but it is my understanding that after the first reboot it should go into the "connect to computer" style mode with the picture of the phone and a computer connected with USB. My phone does not do this - instead it boots to the Samsung Omina screen and just sits there. It seems to quickly reboot every 10 mins or so.
I've attempted the flash a second time and got the same result. Any ideas?
just goto download mode and flash it with another firmware..
If you can't get into download mode, just go to your closest DIY shop, grab 3 100k resistors and make yourself a JIG.
Full instructions here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092824&highlight=JIG
You should be able to reboot in download mode, and then restore to whatever ROM you want
Just tried that - used a different one but got the same result.
When WP7 Downloader gets to "Plz wait while rebuilding" the phone has rebooted to the samsung omnia 7 screen and not the computer connection screen.
Weird.
If you got to download mode after using the JIG, flash should be flawless.
I'm clueless here, apart from trying again with a different firmware/JIG.
Just and FYI. I couldn't fix it myself so I send it in for repair. They needed to replace the motherboard.

Soft Bricked GT-I900I - No apparent cause | No PC access

Desperation has set in and there is no light at the end of the tunnel in sight. My Galaxy S5 (GT-I900I) has been running xstresolite 2.2 completely fine for several months and with no new app installations or irregular behaviour, it suddenly began to soft reset constantly and require me to unlock my sim card with the code I was given. Only problem is that it gave me enough time to enter the code before restarting and repeating the process. I decided to try reflashing the ROM which instead has sent me into a series of bootloops whereby I no longer have any functionality besides recovery/download mode.
One particular attempt was able to get me through to having a clean install and use my phone again but I was met by a "MTP (and) System UI has stopped working" message and therefore had no notification bar and use of soft keys. Reflashing the exact same way once again has let me into more bootloops.
Normally I would simply download another package and reflash but as the title suggests I don't have access to a PC as I'm in the midst of travelling Eastern Europe so it is critical I have a functional phone.
I would provide more information on my device but I'm not able to access any such information as I'm in a bootloops. Any help would be seriously appreciated. Thanks.

[Help] Alcatel One Touch Pop C7 problem

Hello,so here's what happened with my device,I've tried to flash a new rom on it everything was just fine until I've clicked the "Download" button in sp flash tool. All drivers were installed correctly but when I wanted flash the rom the phone was surprisingly disconnected from my pc. Now it won't boot,I can't access recovery,the only thing is doing is that when i plug it in only the led is on, the screen is always black,I've tried to re-flash different roms but nothing to do,the tool gives me this error every time "s_dl_get_dram_setting_fail (5054) and sometimes this one s_ft_enable_dram_fail (4032)". I did a lot of forums searching,tried almost everything,but always I'm stuck with this. If anybody can help it wold be so nice!
I've forgot to mention it's a 7040A model.

Help - Lenovo a1000-G (Indian Version) - I think it is hard bricked.

Reposting it here, since this is the Lenovo sub-forums. Probably may find more help here.
I was using the Allegro ROM for the A1000G and it was running fine and dandy without any problems. Last night I tried installing a game and after I restarted it, it didn't turn on. I thought that maybe the device had low battery or something. So I plugged it in and let it charge for an hour and it still didn't turn on. Than I let it charge overnight and in the morning, it still doesn't turn on. So I tried to flash the Stock ROM for Lenovo a1000g and I got an error saying the storage was different or something - Error 3182 Message: BROM ERROR: S_STORAGE_NOT_MATCH (3182) [Edit - Tried to find the error, this is the one]
It was probably because the Allegro ROM was installed before it stopped working. So after that failed attempt at Flashing the Stock ROM - I don't get the battery indicator anymore and no matter what I try inside SP Flash Tool, it doesn't detect the device and the flashing process doesn't work. I tried installing and uninstalling all the MTK and Mediatek drivers but still not working. It shows up as MediaTek DA USB VCOM (Android) but it doesn't disappear, unless I remove the usb cable.
Before when I flashed the Allegro ROM and as seen across other youtube tutorials and guide, the device would show up for 2-4 seconds before disappearing and the SP Flash Tool would start working. Now it is just blank and the MediaTek DA USB VCOM (Android) doesn't go, no matter what.
Please, I would appreciate help. Since I don't have much knowledge regarding this. What must I do? I am depending on you guys.

Bump. Please someone help.

A3000-H, model 60030, stock And 4.2.2 - programs stop working, memory not responding

Hello guys, I have this weird A3000-H problem.
So the tablet boots normally, it loads in one particular state every time, like it's booting an image. After a while or if you try to do something, running a program, uninstalling, changing settings it's starts the cascade of pretty much "every has stopped working" and it's like that until you restart it and it's all over the same again.
So far I've tried everything I could scour from the internet, XDA forums included.
• I've tried to flash new stock rom 4.2.2, then I tried the 4.4.2 from Hesham.
If I use an older, version 3 SP Flash Tools it gives me this error at the end:
imgur com a5oKTLw.png
If I use version 5+ of SP Flash Tools it gives me an "OK" download or upgrade, but when I disconnect and turn on the tablet it's in it's same previous state, it didn't change anything.
• I tried full format - it did absolutely nothing despite SPFT giving me the okay
SPFT memory test returns this error : .imgur com / jbSUwV5.png
• I tried writing memories - nothing changes despite getting on OK message.
• I tried to fastboot CWM - I can't make the tablet to enter the mode, it just restarts and boots in it's previous state.
• I've tried to connect it to PC and delete folders manually, despite windows saying the folders are deleted and not showing them anymore, as soon as I reconnect the tablet again they show up as they were. It's like the on board memory is locked to writing anything on it.
• Of course I tried manually resetting to factory settings, uninstalling software from the tablet and so on, but that just makes the errors of "stopped working" to pop and restart to same condition.
I would appreciate any help at this point, I'm about to give up on it.
P.S.: I can't post whole links yet so I had to improvise a bit.
