Am I the First? Hard Bricked H9500+

[elias.zamora]

ROM_0 was not successfully made I got: S_FT_DA_NO_RESPONSE (4001)

NOTE 1: I connected my working phone

to elias.zamora

Ok since u have two identical phones - one bricked , and one working

now try to create preloader.bin from your working phone


create a file folder on the desktop , let me name it as "Folder-AAA"
copy the file "MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc" to the Folder-AAA ( u can find it under the rom that u intend to flash)
Now run the flash tools, scatter the file "MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc"(under Folder-AAA), then hit "Read Back" tab, then hit "add", then u should see a line of description some sort like this

read flag start address length file
n/a 0x000000.. 0x0000000 c:\user\.....|ROM_0

ok, double click the above line, save the file (by default the name is ROM_0)
then change the length to 0x00600000 (six hundred thousand)
then hit ok
then hit the button "read back with an arrow"

Now , connect your computer to the phone(without the battery)
if everything is ok, it should be able finish in less than 20 sec.

ok let me know if u can get the ROM_0 created. then i will let u know to create the preloader.bin with MTK Droid root n tool.
i can create mine, not too sure with your phone, try n let me know

Well, we are starting to get quite a group. I did try the s7599 preloader with the same 4032 result.

I also tried the Volume + after the red reaches the right side and got nothing different - same 4032.

So I wonder if my SP Flash is working like others:

1. When I load a scatter file, all the parts of the rom are there and checked, but all the addresses for region, begin and end are all zeros. Is that the same for others?

2. When I plug in my phone without the battery, I get the windows Beep Beep indicating it recognizes the device and SP Flash recognizes it as MTK USB Com(4) in the lower right hand corner. I know the port numbers will be different, but is this basically what others are seeing?

3. When I plug in the phone WITH the battery, I get the beep beep, but windows says it is an unknown device and it is not recognized by SP Flash. Do others see the same thing?

No. the starting address is not zero, only for the first line, the rest is not zero

when your phone is power on n connect to computer, your phone is running in android, so the computer read the phone as android device, so u need a android driver to go with the phone.

when your phone (without battery) connect to the computer, the computer will supply power to the phone, then it trigger the MTK chip, so the computer will talk to phone with mtk driver.

when your computer connect to your phone with battery but not power on, the computer cannot reconise the device, bcause it neither andoid nor MTK.

for your case, u can see the Enable DRam fail, that is your driver is correct, but check with your scatter file, it is not zeros as u say.
