Hello all I have iocean X7 Elite MTK6589T 32Gb.
But I hard bricked it (no recovery mode).
Does anyone have a backup or image that can share with me ?
I tried all versions of SP Flash tools out there... I get stuck on 100 % of the red bar and I get "Enable DRAM failed" or close to this error with the different versions.

Are you running flash tool as administrator?
Have you tried using download and firmware upgrade? Both not working?
Tried pressing down on power or volume buttons, or any combination of those while flashing?
If the error comes up again, please post the error code and what it says.

I'm always running Flash tools as administrator.
Currently changing drivers from the pack in the forum,
on two different PCs,
on both "download" and "firmware upgrade" as soon as the red bar goes to 100% the program stops responding, and the "flash_tool.exe has stopped working" windows popup shows.
Probably something messed up with the drivers ?

Cherva, are you by any chance using windows 8/8.1?
Not very sure if it is an incompatibility for iOcean and Windows 8. But what you are describing is also a problem I faced with my X7s on Windows 8.1.
I believe I was able to flash successfully once out of maybe fifty tries. I ran SP Flash Tool in compatibility mode with Windows 7, then flashed with power button pressed down the entire time (pressed down when connecting to PC) no battery inserted. My driver setup is as I described in the tutorial on Windows 8 drivers.
But like I said, that was once. Even now, I have difficulty with my iOcean. Other phones are no problem with the exact same set up.
My solution to the X7s is to use Windows 7 instead. And use the v5 series of SP Flash Tool, not v3. But still requires the power button pressed down throughout the flashing process.

Hmm everyday a different situation.
Keeping the power button doesn't seem to help.
At least now Flash Tools did not crash.
I got this:
BROM ERROR: S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032)
[EMI] Enable DRAM Failed !
[HINT]:
Please check your load matches to you target whitch is to be downloaded.

Okay, but use firmware upgrade instead of download.
There is another user who solved the same error just by getting the drivers installed correctly.
I suggest you try the same. Fresh new installation of drivers and sp flash tool (wouldn't take too long)
But make sure to clean out all previous drivers.
Good luck!
