hey I done somthing wrong, I don’t know if this is the right thread. Firstly my problem is when I turn my phone on logo appears and just white screen. nothing else. it doesn’t get recognised by pc. when I try to boot into recovery mode, gets stuck at logo(did something wrong here too, i’ll later). What I was trying to do at the first place was trying to install a custom rom. My device is Huawei y560-uo2 kitkat 4.4.2. I wanted to install lolipop 5.1.1. So as per this tutorial —(https://boycracked.com/2016/03/04/cyanogen-mod-12-1-android-5-1-1-lollipop-for-huawei-ascend-y5-y560-l01/) i should root my phone so i tried to root it with adb method, unlocking booloader was successful, but after replacing the current recovery with custom recovery, I could no longer boot into recovery, just stuck at logo. but I could boot into android. Then i tried kingroot apk, worked fine. so now I have root access. then I tried to install the custom rom, but it would need a working recovery mode. then I started searching for flashing rom without recovery, then in a tutorial it had some cammands which would install from my adb folder. everything worked well. then on this step where I should wipe my phone with this command: fastboot -w and install new rom with command something like: upadate (filename.zip), error occured saying error in syntax. currently i have my device’s stock rom, new rom, adb, android sdk. will it get into working again? is it bricked? HELP ME plzzz!!! contact me 0n +91 9961-339-672

Now connect your device to your computer. Check if the device manager refreshes or any new device appears. If any of this appear, just follow the above manual method of installing MTK drivers. Now connect your device without battery & flash ROM from SP Flash Tool.

Hello Devs Lab,
I am writing to you in a need of help. I am using Elephone P9000Lite and recently tried to root my phone, but during the process the SPFlash tool that I used hanged out and thus not formatted my phone completely. Now my phone does not even want to start. Fore more detailed information and simplicity of this reply I post below a link to my XDA-Developers thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p9000/help/how-to-recover-bricked-elephone-t3398295
Is there a chance to recover my phone from that state or I need to buy a new one?
Thanks in advance!
I have micromax android one (mt6582). I flashed it, flash was complete. But it is not booting up. I also tried to format the whole phone using automatic format and manual format. But still when I flash it completes without any error but not booting up.
Help me please!
Hello! Good Evening! I am from Venezuela. I’ve followed every step you ask in tutorial. I am using a newer version of SP Flash Tool (v5.1604.00 Build 0x325324) My phone (Huawei Ascend Y320 U-10) started having problems with software, everything just gave error so I decided to Flash it’s stock ROM. I searched the specific ROM Huawei launched for my Phone (U10V100R001C70B400N) my Phone is for Digitel here in Venezuela. Everything just looks perfect until now. I flashed it as you describe but it keeps freezing at logo, and nothing else, factory reset after flash: Doesn’t work either. Reading on other forums, I verified that I needed to check the “DA DL ALL with checksum”, using this method phone freezes flashing at 34.06 Mb and gives error “S_DA_SDMMC_READ_FAILED (3153)” Could you please guide me past this point? Thanks in advance!!

Check if it is detected in device manager. If you can’t find your device, then I’m sorry friend. You need to replace the board.
