Help with Vernee Apollo (I just bricked)

[Yadinx]

Hi friends!

I tried to install the custom rom from @Cleopatra, but it didn't work, my problem is that for some reason, my backup didn't work either, now I just brick my phone.

Do you know guys if there is any other stock rom (even if is it in alpha state) that I could use? or if I can use another rom for another X25 phone?

Please help T_T (and thanks in advance)

I used this video: (Now I don't have access to TWRP) and this instructions: [Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register]

@Yadinx :

Just to clarify, it is not a "custom rom" but it is a "custom recovery".
It makes me realize that you have had little experiences with phones.
Please explain me why 2 owners (in the official forum) have rooted their Apollo without problems.
Please verify it with your own eyes :

They are not the only ones who rooted their Vernee Apollo.
Also in the German website, please verify with your own eyes :

What have you been doing ???

The YouTube video-tutorial that you have posted is no good.

NOW FOLLOW THE NEXT STEPS :

1) Make sure that your phone is turned off.
2) Press the volume up button + power button simultaneously.
Try several times to enter in the original recovery.
3) Select "Wipe data/factory reset".

The next time, before to start doing things you have never done,
please contact me !

First, thanks for your support.

Second, originally I did manage to install TWRP without a problems, my issues began when I tried to install the stock rom. (I used this guide: [Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register]) but then, my phone has a boot loop, so i tried to recover it using my backup with TWRP, but for some reason, that didn't work either.

After that I folowed the video guide of how to unbrick phones I posted before but now i lost my TWRP.

I know it still can be fixed, but I think now my only option is to install your stock rom.

Thanks again.

Something else I noticed, why the preloader box is unchecked?

@Yadinx1989 :

Help me to undersand your phone current situation.
Is your phone now working well ?
Are you able to boot in normal mode without any issue ?

After you answer to this question ... we can proceed to run twrp again.

Is dead. It doesn't even turn on now. I'm afraid I will have to wait for a fully -tested stock working rom, doesn't it?

Do you have already tried the next steps ?

1) Press the volume up button + power button simultaneously.
Try several times to enter in the original recovery.
2) Select "Wipe data/factory reset".

What firmware did you use with SP Flash Tool ?
Why did not you contact me before to do your experiment ?

Yes I had tried to press volume up+power button. So far, without results.

I use the configuration attached, and I know it was a mistake that I hope I learn new things.

Why did you flash my experimental firmware ?
On the Vernee official forum I have written :

"I have made also a "possible stock firmware" (based on OTA "full_k15ta_a-ota-1484567521.zip").
I do not guarantee that it will works well; do so at your own peril" !!!


QUESTIONS :

1) Do you updated your Apollo with OTA 1484567521.zip before to start my twrp ?

2) Now you can try to flash ALSO the preloader in my experimental firmware.

If the flash process does not start, try Firmware Upgrade option.

If you are a newbie :
Why have not you contacted me BEFORE ???

1) Yes, I will try now, is this file preloader_k15ta_a.bin ?
2) I had some experience with beta an alpha roms, BUT this is my first time with a chinese smartphone. So.. I just took the gamble, I did knew the risks involved.

And, really, I can't thank you enough for your time.
