MMX A064 bricked/dead after ROM flash! - Device Repair

Hi all. I'm new to XDA. I've Micromax Bolt A064. I tried to flash a new ROM without unlocking Bootloader because I followed a tutorial in which there was nothing mentioned about Bootloader (tutorial at: www . mtkandroid . com) and I downloaded MMX A064 ROM at www . firmwarefiles . com.
I can't post links because I don't have 10+ posts.
My phone is just switched off after the process (I formatted ROM with SP tools given at tutorial). My phone is not bootable now. But my PC can detect it via USB. So, how can I fix this problem.? Thanks for help.

See if you can get back to stock rom. Since your phone is detected by PC, you have the advantage of using odin software. It may not help you in unlocking bootloader but should reinstall the stock rom. Google it for a good tutorial. However I don't have much experience with micromax phones. PM me if it worked or not.
Edit: heard that Odin is mainly for Samsung phones , so I am not sure if it would work , still you should try it out.

Locked out

Hi folks!
Sorry for the post (I know it has probably been asked before) but I could not find the answer by seaching so I have to ask again...
My friend has a Galaxy S with stock german T-Mobile software on (he does not know the version). He has forgotten his unlock pattern and the phone does not recognize his Gmail login! He has accepted the fact that his data is probably lost but when I boot the phone into bootloader and select a factory reset the handset is still locked when booting up again?
I have never encountered that problem before so I really hope you know the solution I am a WP7 man myself so my knowledge of Android is basic (know how it works but have never tried to flash new firmware etc.)
/Anders
Boot into dl mode and flash an unbranded stock fw using Odin. You'll find many tutos on how to do that.

factory reset will not work, you can use ADB , How to guide on My Android Collections link below, or flash a kernel or do the whole thing as Dark Knight suggested earlier

[Q] Stuck in the bootloader. Plz help!

Hey, as the tittle says I´m stuck in the bootloader of my semi new HTC One. :C
Well the story is that I rooted my phone 2 months ago and installed a new ROM successfully which was great. Now this week I wanted to change back to the stock version and regain my insurance and back all the original futures of my beloved phone. I did a step here with I deeply regret, I formatted my sdcard. (Note this was my first doing any rooting or stuff of that sort). So as I wanted to get the stock ROM to my phone I locked up this video from youtube by Sakitech:- "How to Unroot your HTC One, and Relock the Bootloader". I follow his steps worked well but later I realised none of the RUU files worked with my phone.
So now I´m here with no ROM installed. Can´t get access to the recovery. My phone is relocked (the rooting). Can´t find any RUU file that works for my phone, so far (because I´m from Sweden and have the Nordic version). I´m stuck in the bootloader.
Here´s a picture of it for what it´s worth:
Not allowed to post a picture because of the new user policy >.>
Please help me! If you have a solution explain it with "baby-steps" because I´m not yet experienced with these sort of things. Thank you! <3
Picture?
Can someone post the picture for me if I give the link to that person??? :/ I can send it through email or skype

[CLOSED] After some real digging around and some thinking I manage to fix my phone, yessssssssssss!!!!

Did I break my phone?

Hi you all guys, I own a Kazam Tornado 348 and with little android knowledge decided to root it, which I managed.
After that I decided to keep playing and I did something wrong since I got the boot screen loop, the one where you are only able to enter the TWRP recovery mode but not the OS, I tried to restore it, wipe and reboot it multiple times without success. Now it seems I did even something worse because I am not able to enter recovery mode anymore and it seems will keep turning off and on (just enough to show the phone logo) until it runs out of battery
It is possible I deleted something else last time I was there, like deleting the TWRP itself? I am on total darkness here, I will appreciate if someone point me towards a possible solution, which I hope there is. Thanks for the help
Simply flash it with sp flash tool with gionee elife s5.1 firmware which is Android 5.1 or with kazam official firmware 4.4.2... It will boot up..
My answer is not for u becaus its too late but for those who came here to the thread having same problem...
help for my tornado 348

Hi, I have a similar problem but I am not an expert... so I need very easy and step by step instructions...
Could you please snd detailed information about the procedure to flash my Tornado 348 (including links or pgms to execute) ?.
Please note that the major problem is when i connect it to internet: in this case I cannot use the smartphone because it starts to open and close apps and downloads an infinite number of apps...until the memory is full and it stops.
So the best solution should be to keep it disconnected from internet (no wifi) and access it from a PC.
For this reason I kindly ask you if you could help me with sending the right sw tool to flash it from my PC connected to my Kazam.
Just in case I leave you my mail : [email protected].
Really hope you can help me. I paid my Tornado 348 € 300,00 and I have NO ASSISTANCE by Kazam... (they say they supended the assistance in Italy and I am waiting since months without any help)
Thanks a lot
Antonio

This happened to me too, and not only I couldn't flash a newer Android version (5.1), my IMEI number got destroyed, and I have tried many things to fix it and restore it, but that didn't work.

Redmi 8 stuck in TWRP

Hi
I'm pretty new on rooting devices, i did some times by the past on samsung s3 or iphone 3gs , after getting our water from the well.
But now i'm stuck. I install TWRP with minimal ADB, it goes pretty well, and then i decided to flash and install Lineage 17.1 . I did it by the book, put the img file on the phone, reboot on TWRP, selected my file and voilà, it flashed it nice, but when i reboot it boot straight to TWRP . There's no ways i can get past it.
Tried to reflash, reinstall Lineage but it 's still stucked.
What can i do to fix that ? i saved my personal datas but nothing else
Thnxs
Ok don't bother
I bricked my phone .
I tried to reinstall sotck rom , i downloaded a Global version , flashed it with MiFlash and it said " this MIUI can't be installed on this device " afterwards on the stock recovery screen
Can't Unlock the bootloader , can't do anything just because of a godammn "clean and lock all" box ticked by default. F*** It . IT was supposed to be a global version of the phone, why couldn't i reinstall a global stock ROM FFS ?
I am not using MIUI. Installed HavocOs. When I was using MIUI 4gb ram was always 50% occupied. But that never was problem. Old apps were open in background. In such a phone 4gb ram is sufficient. So I would say ram management may not be good as it always occupied 50% ram even if no apps were running. But never felt that running apps were stopped. can easily keep 4-5 apps(lite apps).

If you have checked clean and lock then your phones' bootloader is probably locked. Would you mind telling current status of you phone in details? Like:
1. does the phone show "Redmi by Xiaomi" logo while boots;
2. Is there unlocked written while it boots;
3. does the phone boot properly to stock rom (or whatever rom is);
4. does it have stock recovery.
5. What version of rom you flashed?
thank you.
Hi and thxs for the reply
so in proper order
1) Yes
2)No no more Unlocked at bootscreen (because of that ******* ticked box
3) No, it can't get past recovery. I was stucked at TWRP when i install Lineage (never had the chance to taste it) , now it's stuck at stock recovery
4) All I get is the 3 choices screen ( Reboot / Wipe Data / Connect with PC MIUI (the software management))
5) After lineage , i tried to flash Global ROM but after cheecking with the IMEI , it appears that i have a chinese version . IF Only i had taken the time to double check that , i bought the phone from a legit site (Not Gearbest and stuff). I think it was based on android 9.0
I 've dl Chinese ROM , Recovery and Fastboot , Now the phone has the back open , tried the pin contact, , it's recognized as Qualcom Port 9008 , so Miflash detectsit but evertime i try to flash either i can't get the hello packet, or Miaccount says i have not the authorization

Hi
I can't unlock it because when i install the global stock rom it relocked the bootloader and now i can't access MIUI
First of all stay calm. Your phone is still not hard bricked. As you have said that your stock recovery is working. In stock recovery it shows that "This MIUI version cant be installed".
Firstly, try to unlock bootloader again with mi unlock with same account you have used. This time it would not take the waiting period.
before plugging the phone boot into fastboot then plug to pc.
Do the same as you have unlocked before.
I hope it works.

Nope I tried virtually everything from 9pm to 6am and 9am to 2pm. NO way to unlock through MiFLash or many exotic tools in cmd prompt .
I just send it to repair center this afternoon , my 2 cents it should'nt take long to unbrick as there are still recovery and fastboot as you mentionned and repair centers have way more firepower than we do average fellas ... At least I hope they have
I keep you tuned
As i promised, here are the news
Reparation center with notoriously skilled technicians has not managed to fix the stuff to this day. Bootloader locked, tried with my Mi account , they were trying the EDL mode as i was calling them for news.
The sad part is, I had already tried this so I wished them better luck. It's been a few days so should they have succeeded, they 'd have told me by now. In fact they are not experienced enough with those Xiaomi protection so they're investigating. For the futures unfortunate owner's

EDL mode to use an authorized account is needed ... so you could not make it work, nor its experienced technicians
And I bet that only Xiaomi has this authorization , Xiaomi who has no official repair center in EU nor never replies to anyone.....
3000 years later......
I promised to keep you tuned.
I finally unbricked it today, thanks to @miauthofficial , as the tech around home didn't have necessary tools (or skills .... i think tools ) . It cost me 35 bucks but they got it working, with a chinese rom though (because i have a chinese phone :/ ) , with teamviewer and a bunch of top specialist tools
I can tell out of experience that's there are NO ways to unbrick it on your own
So i don't have multilanguage (only english , chinese , thai , japanese and arab ), no Google apps ..... That's why it sounds weird that i had everything set up out of the box . It wasn't a Global ROM, maybe a custom chinese rom?
Now i will carefully dig out how to get it to global versions , typing text on chinese rom is a pain in the ass
Believe it or not, i just had it charged, barely had the time to remove the charge cable, the phone sets on fire then exploded almost into my hands . I have some difficulties catching my breathe bcause of the smoke.
Does Redmi 8 have Test Point ? if it have, i believe we can use it to "unbrick" the phone, like what i do to my Redmi 4X.

Assuming you are talking about EDL.
As far as I know you need authorized mi account to do something through EDL for newer devices.
Can someone use TWRP or Orange fox backup for me to have the EFS folder of Redmi 8? Thank you..
