Soft Bricked, how to solve - agentnedo - 2014-01-09 Hey! So I finally managed to figure out how to Flash. Unfortunately the first flash I did (from the geekbuying.com site), caused the phone to brick. I think it is a soft brick, as the screen does light up, but remains black. I have tried flashing it again, but to no success. Any suggestions? There has to be a way to fix this...right?! RE: Soft Bricked, how to solve - agentnedo - 2014-01-09 A bit of an update...the phone does seem to be on! Just the screen remains a dark (dark blue?) If I hit a bunch of random buttons I feel the phone vibrate! I put my chip in, and tried calling it with another number...straight to voicemail. I would REALLY appreciate any input at this point! I am debating doing a Format using SP multi-port download...I have tried using "Format except Bootloader" Is it dangerous to Format everything including Bootloader? RE: Soft Bricked, how to solve - agentnedo - 2014-01-09 I solved it! In case anyone else is wondering... I did a format (but I didn't format the Bootloader), and then installed the newest firmware. [Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register] I think the issue I was having was due to the change in LCD... I did try updating using this version before, but it did nothing, which is why I thought there was something else wrong. I did try again, this time using an updated version of SP Flash Tool..and it worked! So: Format (I did not format bootloader) use version above use most up to date SP tool
