[Question] How do I know if phone is bricked?
#1
How can I figure out, if my Inew v3 has been bricked?

Only way of communication is through SP flashtool. Phone is recogniced, roms can be flashed as desired --- but --- after flashing, phone does not boot.

I am trying to put out batterie for an hour and then hopefully, phone will boot again. Otherwise I don't know, what else I could try out.

Any help would be apreciated!

In general, my understanding is that if you can still communicate with the phone via SP Flashtool, it's usually recoverable. That is, it's "soft bricked" but can be brought back to life.

What happened to your V3 in the first place? How did it get into this state?

There are some updates:
Taking away the batterie for longer time (at least for about 60 min) has the affect, that the phone starts normally. I can install apps, watch videos, everything is fine.....untill the phone suddenly freezes again. Then I have to put batterie out again and wait. If I put batterie in again very soon, phone either goes into bootloop or does not start at all. So I have to wait some time, before reentering the batterie. For me this looks like as any diodes are discharged when phone has no batterie for longer time! Really strange behaviour!?

Soooo.... to repeat the most important question as asked above by WuddaWaste :

"How did it get into this state?"

Did you flash it with a different ROM than stock? Can you revert it back to stock? If so, does it solve the problem once on the correct stock ROM? Do you have a backup? Was it like this from the factory?

It is important to be specific for anyone to give you help. The first step is the most important - that is to figure out if the issue is hardware or software.

actually we can separate even further

hard brick
#####
generally means it not recoverable by normal people.
---the "test point" method may .....only may be an option
------can be very difficult to find the test point as well

soft brick
#######
recovery and wipe data and cache may work for some
---extra davlik cache

flash a new preloader (from official zip)

once you have changed roms.....going back to official rom, there is a risk
you may need to reset your nvram / IMEI

@" trinidat"

so can you remember if you wiped fully before trying out a new rom?

Thanks for your help. I am not shure, if I wiped out fully before I tried a new rom. I tried stock roms, as well as custom roms. I think, this is hardware related issue, as phone does not boot. So the actual status is, I can flash whatever image I want with SP Flashtool V5.1420.0, process runs through like a charme. After this, I put on batterie and press power button, but phone does not boot - it seems to be dead.

Please give me advice, how I can flash a preloader?

When testing memory inside sp flashtool, it gives a NAND Flash error:
ERROR: NAND Flash was not detected!

it has taken you 3 posts to reveal the source of your problem

If you had bothered to read the new members pls read post in the introductions you would have discovered that you can do a search here or at google for your error.

but I can't help you as that is a windows program.

I suggest you post to that thread. Maybe someone with experience can answer.

good luck

#############
altho I don't have your phone I suggest the following

stop mucking about with ROMs other than the OFFICIAL one
only flash using a scatterfile built for your exact make and model
-----because you probably have the wrong rom on.....flash the lot from official
---------you may need to fix up your nvram if you did not make a backup.

good luck

Hello!

Sorry for any faults I've made in describing my problems. I am not a professional, but I am trying my best, to follow advice.

I am back in business again. Installing drivers solved the sp flash tool error. So I am back at the state, that I can flash any rom I want.

I just flashed cxq_v3_inew_v1.0.8 + CWM Rom (iNeW V3 STOCK 1.0.8 ROM + Carliv Touch 6.0.4 CWM Recovery + ROOT ACCESS). I did it through SP Flash tool, with option format all + download. Prozess went through without problems.

After flashing, I put in battery again and ..... my phone powered up ..... but imediately went into bootloop.

Since bootloop did not stop, I removed batterie again. Now I am at the same stage: Flashing ok. No booting.

Can you give me any advice, which image I should flash and how eventually I could flash a new preloader?

English is not my native language. Sorry for any misunderstandings.

Update: I now have been able to power up mobile in recovery mode!

Carliv Touch Recovery v. 2.2 MTK com based v6.0.4.4.

I can choose several options - which one shall I take?

In mtk droid tools, it says: "Caution - recovery does not match mobile"

update: Phone is booting.

1: If time, batterie has been removed is short

into bootloop

2: If time, batterie has been removed is more than 30 min

normal - but then after some time, freezes again.

I contacted my chinese shop. They ask me to send phone back - this is, what I will do.

Update:
Phone has been repaired from Inew factory and send back to me. It arrived in december 2014. Firmware was cxq_v3_indw_1.1.1.

Phone worked without problems untill mid of february. From then it suddenly began to shut down and would only boot by putting out battery.
Recently i flashed cxq_v3_indw_1.1.3 ([Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register]) and rooted with rootgenius. Situation is the same as before flashing. Phone is working for hours, but again suddenly is shutting down.

Phone is recognized by sp flash tool and by mtk root & tools.

Is there anything I can try, to stop phone from shutting down?

I don't want to sound bad here but get rid of the crap iNew. I used to have one and they're a headache. If you ever manage to fix it you'll find many other issues to tackle. There are so many good phones to choose from now in that price range and below that it's not worth bothering.
