[Question] Bricked THL5000 mt6592

[pfleiderer]

Hello to all here. I have self produced a serious problem with my THL5000
After some month witout any problem, running a rootet ROM Version of the newest stock ROM 1.1.1 , which i get from needrom site, i got a bootloop.

So i start in TWRP recovery, made a factory reset and tried to reflash the rom from TWRP.
The recovery get me an error, that it can't mount any partition afterwards.
If i restart the phone, there is no bootloop anymore, but just the start screen... without any movement.
So i went into flashtool, and tried to flash the base stock rom 1.0.1 whis is for flashtool .
Flashtool reportet that it has flashed ok, but if i restart the phone there is still a hangup on start screen.

so then, i think, i made a big mistake.
i do a total format with flashtool and a new flash.

from then on, my phone wont do anything.
I cant start it, neither in normal mode nor in recovery mode.
Screen is just black.

one good thing. if i connect with my laptop, the phone was seen by flashtool and i can flash roms.... but this changes nothing in my problem.

If there is someone who can help me, please give me some hints what to do.

Thank you very much in advance

I would (personally) attempt to get recovery back on the phone..

The TWRP or CM or "whatever" you can get on it, and go from there. Get yourself back to where you can flash ROMs easily from an SD card, at a minimum.

As an aside, have (or did) you attempt to use the reset button behind SIM1?? If so, what happened?

Hi again.
Yes, I have tried the reset button an I also flashed TWRP recovery for this phone (got it from needrom.com).
The flash from Flashtool was finished with the green OK, but the screen was still just black. No chance to start into recovery.
The phone was recognised by the pc, but everything I tried to flash (recovery / stock rom) goes well, but has no effect at all.

Any new ideas? I feel sad and ? helpless

Hi again.
Yes, I tried the red reset button several times. Unfortunate with no effect at all.
I also flashed the stock rom...
... The TWRP recovery for this phone (got it from needrom.com)

The flashing was always ended with the green OK ? sign in Flashtool,
but the screen still is just black... even if I press power on, or power plus vol- to start into recovery mode.

Any new ideas?
I would be so thankful

So, to be specific:

The device is on and this is proven when you connect SPFlashtool. That is good!

Remember that (to my knowledge) the "reset button" pressed is simply the same as having the battery removed. Once the reset button is released, it is like reinserting the battery.

You can give this a shot:

Once you have gotten to the point of loading the scatterfile and pressed the download button (without the USB cable connected) - Press and hold the red reset button while pressing and holding the volume up (+) button. Do not let go. NOW you may connect the USB cable in the the normal flashing procedure.

I realize that you may need an extra hand to try this, but it is worth a try.

I suppose that what I really need is your EXACT procedure - each and every button pressed, what software, what options are checked/not checked on the software, when you are either connecting or disconnecting the USB cable, and any software errors or successes.

Thank you for your reply. You give back some hope to me.
I will try to check out what you told me.
And I will also try to write down step by step what I have done and send it to you.
By the way you are absolutely right when you say, that pressing the red reset button of a THL5000 is like removing and reinserting of the Battery.
What I have not tried yet is pressing the vol+ button while holding the reset and intserting USB cable cause I don't have a third arm. (this will be my wife's job now)
But one after another. I will tell you what has happened.

So long
