Hello, I have bought Jiayu S3 recently, for those who don't know, it is a phone featuring mediatek mtk6752. It was all good but I decided to restore factory settings and phone seems to be bricked. I have watched many tutorials and read guides but nothing helps. My phone blinks with android logo continuosly, once per few seconds it displays android with red exclamation mark inside of his body. I have tried to do recovery but phone only resets showing Jiayu logo or turns off completely. Obviously I have tried to flash stock rom but my phone is not recognized by the PC, and no held buttons combination helps. It does recognize it with the battery in but I can't flash with it in, right? I have tried removing mediatek usb drivers, redownloading them, flashing stock rom by different programs, but the phone is just not recognized. I have read something about hard reset (which includes working with the hardware) but I hope there is another non invasive solution.

Does you've fixed this issues?
are you using windows 8 ? if you are u need to set the windows to allow unsigned drivers and install the mtk drivers. Then using spflashtool flash your new rom
all the files and the tutorial are available @ needrom.com under "S3S (Advanced)" by sorix

I too have a focus that is stuck in a loop at the Samsung logo. I bought it like that thinking I might be able to resurrect it as another toy. I have had lots of experience with Samsung, HTC and Sony droid phones, this would be the first WP.
It is a I917R on Rogers, there is no hardware revision under battery. I am assuming it is V1.3 as I have only seen software for the that version posted. I do not know how the phone got to its present state. They just said it happened during normal use?
I can get to both download mode and factory reset. I have flashed the stock rogers files without errors, but I never get the screen connecting to pc. The phone just restarts after successfully flashing, only to reboot continuously. I have been able to install MAGLDR and flashed every v1.3 ROM i could download. All without errors, just the same outcome they all just keep displaying Samung logo and then reboot. Only thing I noticed is that when I flash MAGLDR and custom ROMs it takes the phone longer to reboot.
I never get the connect to pc if I hold camera and power, nor do I ever get that screen when I flash a ROM.
Not sure if situation is similar... I am puzzled?
Your situation is very similar with other folks' here, unfortunately. It's not clear what causes it and there's no solution as of yet. For some, re-flashing worked. For others, a new battery. Most are stuck on loop...
When you connect the phone to USB when in download mode, what do you get?
When I boot to download mode I can flash Rom with WP7. I get to the yellow triangle download mode and flashes ok, no errors. Just noticed that it never goes to connect to pc mode.
Same with when I format, no connect to pc mode.
Nothing I try seems to help.

I see. What messages do you get when you connect the phone to the PC via USB, in either mode?
No messages, just shows up as Samsung USB composite device, Samsung mobile modem and Samsung mobile modem diagnostic serial port in download mode.
In magldr it shows up add Microsoft USB sync.
The only thing I forgot to mention was that when I flash with WP7 it finished without error in 90 seconds, but on the phone it says it will take 10 minutes.
Not sure what more I can add...
You could try different downloaders. Please see this thread for 7.41 downloader, maybe that helps?
Tried both, same outcome... No errors, just keeps rebooting... No Connect to PC message.
Im having the same problem. And i can see many other people who are having the same issue also. So i think its time to dump those phones, not worth a penny. The one i have in here was actually working, i followed all the directions in order to flash it. And still the phone got stuck into that bootloop. Its ridiculous from what i can see. I think ive read once you put that SDmini in it the phone will use it for the OS. But the one i had was working actually without it, i could turn it off as many times as i wanted and nothing happened. But if i tried a factory reset data would stay and diagnosis mode wasnt working. So i decided to flash it. Big, huge mistake! Hope you have better luck than i did. Because im dumping this one....
Same problem here, ive checked a couple of threads and no solution so far
hi all i bought defy about a year ago as a second phone from ebay with cm7 installed.last week i purchase another phone and give my 7 years old daughter. however i reset everything and phone turn old version blur mod then stuck on m logo i download rom and sort the problem.
real problem starts now i try to install cm 9 download all required files wiped the phone and install the rom however it didn't restart stuck on black screen and only white led when connected with usb also didn't connect or recognized by rds lite.I found tread battery wake up from i think was ''mggrager'' or something else finally rds recognized the phone and install another sbf but still stays same as black screen and white.i read so many threats on this side or others and each i installed custom roms without clearing cache
battery replaced with replacement battery also original
all drivers installed
it doesn't respond any buttons or usb connection
rds only with battery jump
please help what to do
I'm having the same problem as you are, i believe... I had cm11 (or 10, not sure) installed for about a month now (back in december) .... Went on a trip, and when coming back my phone battery ran out at the airport... I take my phone home, not really giving it much importance, and i noticed it would never charge and/or turn on, and that when I connect it to the pc, nothing happened other than the white led coming on.. RSD won't recognized it...
So i found out i had to charge the battery manually, and used a Universal Charger... Still, no recognition by RSD Lite...
Finally, i found a way:
1. Open RSDLite
2. Connect phone (no battery on it)
3. While holding Power + Vol Up, put the battery in
4. RSD will recognize your phone!
Problem is, it recognizes my MB525 as "S Flash OMAP0360"
And when i try to flash a .sbf i used previously to recover my phone (had bricked it by trying to change ROMs in a sloppy manner), it seems to flash smoothly, but when it's going to reboot the phone, the progress goes up to 100% and then asks me to reboot it manually.. I read somewhere that to fix that i should take the battery out, disconnect the phone, put it back in, and make RSD recognize it like i mentioned before...... and after RSDLite says flashing is PASSED, the phone still won't turn on... I have tried at least three times and gotten the same result... Help?
I don't know if i should make a thread of my own.. i think we have the same problem, and i REALLY need my phone back.. so i guess we could just help each other fixing it somehow....
The SBF i am using (because it helped me save my phone before) is:
JORLA_U3_3.4.2_107-9_SIGNED_USAJORDMR1B25TIGCOLA01E.0R_JORLAFROTIGCOLA_P009_A002_M010_HWp3_WIG146037_Service1FF.sbf
EDIT: Also, i read somewhere that when all you get is the white led (when connecting to PC) it means that your battery is not charged enough for flashing.. ?
i already tried several times this method however no luck i am really not sure what to do any more i think only option try to find latest rom or first rom then try again if any luck will update and give the links

I do not know what to do now.. when i try to flash a ROM with the LG Flash Tool it fails because LG program does not recognize my device..
PS: LG Support Tool recognizes my phone (it shows the model) but i cannot flash a ROM

Were you using a custom recovery? (i.e. TWRP)? If so, are you able to boot into recovery? It was a few years ago but whenever that happened to me I would have to use the hard reset option. If I remember correctly, on my LGG2, I would hold down the power button and the volume down button at the same time until the LG logo appears, then right when it appears, release and re-press both buttons again holding them down again until the hard reset option showed. Then when it asked me if I was sure I wanted to reset my phone, select yes (it made nervous the first ten times or so). Eventually I began to trust it would, in fact, do what I was informed it would do which was boot into TWRP without actually resetting anything. From there I was always able to flash a new ROM etc. Anyway, if you knew all that sorry, just trying to help. If not, please get second opinions since I will not be held responsible for your device and since it's been years since I tinkered with mine. Having a Samsung now, I don't mess with it cause rooting a Samsung Note trips Knox and then Samsung Pay is disabled.
Anyway, happy flashing and best of luck to you. It was an awesome hobby while I was involved with it.
Cheers!

Hi,
It looks my tablet got hardbricked. Apparently, it looks like it was turned off completely automatically, when in sleep mode. When it's powered off now - pressing power button for a while makes nothing. When connected to charger - white LED flash is blinking only and when trying to power on, and there is no "Lenovo" logo at all. I've tried some of "power cycle" tutorials - but no luck. Once, when using power button, tablet was vibrating crazily and screen blinked, but it was shut down after moment.
Sorry, if there is existing similar thread - this tablet is not very popular. If there is any "magic trick" to make it work, I'll be grateful, if now - probably I'll need to flash new firmware. Currently, I'm discharging it completely.
Best regards.

Are you still bricked? There is the firmware flashing method using SP Flash Tool which restores both the 850F & 850M to full factory condition. Let me know if you need the method and I'll get you links to the guides here on XDA.

Yes. I've asked for help guy from unauthorized repair service, he said device is completely bricked, probably EEPROM chip is broken. But ok, you can send me this instruction of course

I've had two 850F devices hard bricked and was able to recover using SP Flash Tool and a stock firmware package. I'll get you the method posted here. But, out of curiosity, how did you hard brick yours?
(The 850F is pretty much an 850M without SIM/data connectivity support. They also have slightly different chipsets, but many of the specs are very similar. So, I know the method will work on both variants of the Tab3 8.

Hey, thanks for you reply! As I'm not owner of the tablet, it's hard to say how it was bricked. It was on stock firmware, it was not rooted and TWRP was not installed. I've helped to configure this tablet, tablet was turned off everyday at 11PM automatically, and powered on manually, by device owner. She said sometimes instead of powering on to Android, it was booting into FASTBOOT mode (green android image). Once, it just failed to boot, without any reaction. I've tried to recover it using Windows machine, when plugging it into computer (no matter, with, or without Vol+ pressed) it was recognized as Unknown device (instead of Qualcomm, or something). I've tried many drivers - but with no luck, device was not recognized. Also, I've tried 2 machines with Win7 & Windows XP. I've managed to reboot device using power key long pressed, but starting from this point device was not recognized at all... When plugged into USB, nothing was happening. Service guy said he was able to make his computer recognize device using some technical cable plugged directly with motherboard, but all methods to flash firmware failed. He said probably EEPROM chip is broken completely and replacing this part is half of device cost. Thing is, this tablet was bought from China - so no guarantee at all. Well, probably she need to buy next tablet from local electronic store...

Yeah, the service guy is full of it without any doubt. Using a modded fastboot cable, like he was likely referring to, will not only fail to push firmware to the eMMC, but will very likely damage or corrupt the partition index. I can't promise my method will work, but I can say with some certainty that it will. Ok, first things firstt: install the latest SP Flash Tool on your Windows PC or laptop. Also, you will need to install the latest vCOM drivers (for the Mediatek chipset). Do you know how to do this or do you need links? I can post a link for unbricking the 850F, which has been reported to work on 850M, but the thread is a bit erratic and non-concise. It will be much easier if you and I do this step by step. Also, you will need a stock firmware package for your 850M (build version is not relevant). Do you have one or do you need a link?
In a nutshell, this method will do an emergency recovery by directly pushing a stock firmware package to the device's eMMC flash memory. Although your PC is not currently recognizing your device, the vCOM drivers/SP Flash Tool, & your volume down button, will force recognition of the Mediatek chipset. Again, I cannot promise this will be successful, but I can say I've not yet seen a single hard bricked Tab 3 that could not be recovered from a hard brick this way.
Step 1 -- install the latest vCom drivers on your Windows (7, 8.1, or 10) PC/laptop. Here is an excellent XDA tutorial that provides sources and detailed instructions. https://forum-xda--developers-com.c...-10-mtk-vcom-usb-drivers-32-64-t3267033/page1 Sorry for the lengthy url.
Step 2 -- install the latest SP Flash Tool on your PC or laptop. Go to this website for download sources; https://spflashtool.com/
Step 3 -- download a stock firmware package for your TB3-850M. This is a link for a solid firmware package, confirmed to work (take note that build version isn't a factor. The SP Flash Tool will push a downgrade, upgrade, or collateral installation {same build version}): https://cloud.mail.ru/public/LHhe/NkpAi7WuL
When you've completed the above 3 steps, let me know and we will go forward with the firmware recovery process. :good:
I have the same issue. I dont know how but i got hard bricked completely. I was flashing rom on it and it got bricked. Now service centre guy is saying that i have to change motherboard altogether. But your post seems convincing. Please let me know the next detailed process.
i have the same issue.
one day stop working

what is next? i have a tab 3 710f that is very dead.. hardbricked in wont boot into nothing.. black screen like its shut down
Hi,
I'm not sure I'm posting in the right section but, I had a really bad experience upgrading to android 10. Really sluggish and slow... so I tried to downgrade to android 9 by using Lenovo's Rescue and Smart Assistant.
What I did, is to find the stock ROM for my model, and replace the files downloaded by the Rescue Assistant (which downloaded the latest firmware). The process went through, but now the device wont power on.
When I plug in the USB, windows makes a sound, the charging light comes on, but The rescue Assistant nor SP flash tool is able to flash the latest firmware.
Is it bricked for good?
Model : TB-XF606F
Hardware number : 60
Maybe your computer doesn't recognize your tablet. Did you ever try using sp flash tool with your tablet before? You can try reinstall or install a driver for your table if you haven't done it yet.
Well the tablet is recognized as the "mtk vcom..." in device manager. I guess it is the driver that the lenovo rescue app installed.
I have never used sp flash tool with my tablet, just the lenovo rescue.
I tried on 2 different pc and it is the same thing. I think the problem is that I can't turn off the tablet properly, even though, all I can see is a black screen.
I will try to drain the battery by keeping the power button pressed with some scotch tape. I don't know what I can do else.
Edit: I tried a few other times with flash tool using different setting for the connection (with battery and full speed) and nothnig happened. But now windows says it does not recognize my tablet.
did the same thing exactly. . bricked lenovo m10 fhd plus x600v after i flashed a downgrade version. dont try to downgrade this thing. i had already flashed it with 3 or 4 versions the same way , but when i chose to flash the oldest version available with the model , this tab got completly unresponsive , no feedback when try to boot into recovery, fastboot, or system . neither does it gets recognised in windows or anything - device manager dowsnt recognise this usb device ( in device manager properties comments it reads- USB\DEVICE_DESCRIPTOR_FAILURE). if you find a way to reflash the device please let us know. good luck .
Bricked mine after being completely running smoothly on Lineage, then was messing around trying to get gapps installed and jacked up the partitions. TWRP said no OS. Kept messing around and mistakenly locked the bootloader again with apparently an unverified boot partition. . I couldn't get SP Flash tool to work ever either. Pretty sure it's a door stop now.
