You device might be dead! There’s another process to unbrick dead device which you can find on youtube but it has very low success rate & lot of risk involved.
I took it to service center, it is working fine now. Thanks

Hi. I have here a Huawie G610-u20 in which it is currently dead boot (it only vibrates when I turn on the phone). I know flashing and I already have the necessary files for the flashing of stock firmware. My problem is that when I flash the scatter file (download it), the phone keeps on restarting. I mean it keeps on reconnecting the whole time. When I check it on the Computer Management>Ports>Drivers, I can see its Pre-loader but it still reconnects. Any ideals on how to fix this error? I would really appreciate the help.
Unplug the device, load necessary stuffs in SP Flash tool. Click on “Download” it will show “Waiting for device”, now connect your device without battery using a good USB cable. It works everytime! 🙂

I successfully flashed stock rom, but tablet will not boot. There is no battery icon when charging, only a black screen. I have tried pressing buttons, different chargers, different charging cables but still tablet seems dead. It is seen by the computer and sp flash tool.
Did you flash the correct Stock ROM? I guess the stock ROM was not official.
It was the ROM from the same tablet from a backup that I made.
Then you might have used TWRP recovery to restore the backup. Did you create the Scatter file by yourself or downloaded it from somewhere else?
I made a backup with Mtk Droid Tools, so perhaps it is not flashable with SP Flash Tools.
I have the ROM from a previous backup of the tablet.
hello thanks so much! gf killed her phone and i couldnt fix for the life of me until i came across this post. worked perfect 🙂
