Coolpad f1 bricked miui

[Guest wojtek3798]

Hello everyone,

So I tried to flash my Coolpad f1 with some miui rom. After the installation my phone is bricked.

I have black screen and cant turn it on. I tried to bring it back to live so I did a tutorial and install all drivers on my pc.
In my system Coolpad is seen as MTK USB PRELOADER and DA VCOM.

Yesterday I flashed it with sp flash tools and it showed me green bar so it should be working but it does not.
Phone is not turning on and I'm out of ideas. 

I can attach every screenshots you need I just need your ideas what to do with it.

Any help will be appreciated
Cheers

Strange choice to flash stock rom with SP flash tool???

Why don't you use YGDP or CDA - official Coolpad flashing tools.

 

[Guest wojtek3798]

CDA is not working
But I will use YGDP today and update with any progress, thank you

I have just tried flash it with YGDP and that's what i got:

Any ideas?

I have identical issue. I've tried 2 different rom with scatter file on SP Tool (it ends ok but phone can't be on) and 2 different rom in .cpb on YGDP (it goes to 50% in 1 second and give the same error like above in wojtek3798 post) Could someone help?

P.S. Maybe someone has link to original chineese rom for Coolpad F1 8297W?

Unfortunately my phone is still dead :(
I tried many different roms and many different version on SP Flash Tool and still the same. Flashing ends with succes (green mark) but phone still didnt turn on.

Did you try all of the unbricking tips mentioned here:

http://www.modaco.com/forums/topic/372543-coolpad-f1-8297w-review-info-software-custom-roms/

Unfortunately since the upgrade of the modaco forum a while back many links may be broken...

[Guest wojtek3798]

Yes I did.
I have problems trying to install the new rom. Phone is disappearing and showing as a device in the device manager

[Guest Colz@]

I also tried everything i have found. Only SP flashtools can instal rom (i tried many roms) it ends by green circle on the and, but still phone don't turn on and don't charge (when i connect to charger, usb current tester showing couple of minutes current 0,25A and after that it is 0,00A).

[Guest Fajrant]

same problem, any ideas?

[Guest wojtek3798]

I lost faith to be honest. I read that the problem was sd formatted in a different format (when miui was being installed) and now it wont boot becaus of that but im not sure..

[Guest Fajrant]

i hope that someone will find solution...

Did you guys try this instruction:

I will check this today and post results

 

So try first with:

1. Installing ADB client on PC & ADB drivers (you can find many instructions for that), then:

Quote

adb shell

Next commands in recovery shell (inside connected ADB shell):

Quote

ls -l /emmc@cache

to ensure that it's symlink to /dev/block/mmcblk0p9.

You should get output like:

Quote

root@Coolpad8297W:/ # ls -l/emmc@cache
lrwxrwxrwx root     root              1970-01-01 01:00 emmc@cache -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p9

(prompt can differ, depends on recovery which you'll use)

Next try to recreate EXT4 filesystem on it with bad blocks check:

Quote

mke2fs -cc -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p9

If you'll get no errors then you can try to mount it:

Quote

mount -t ext4 /emmc@cache /cache

If still no problems then, unmount it, sync & reboot phone:

Quote

umount /cache

sync

reboot

You should have now working /cache partition.

& next time reflashing ROMs you should try to avoid formating /cache (erase its content instead) as most likely next formating of this partition via recovery might use also bad blocks.

 

It's just quick & dirty instruction written ad-hoc, based on my general UNIX & embedded devices experience, tried to be as simple as it could and I haven't checked if it works on any recoveries on F1.

At least going carefully through these steps it shouldn't break anything as in yours case  /cache is already corrupted and needs to be cleaned anyway, just ensure that symlink above is correct & don't make any typo.

 

Other things that you may try if above wont help:

1. Make current filesystem check & repair:

Quote

e2fsck -y -c -f -v /dev/block/mmcblk0p9

This should do automated check forcing all answers for "yes" for any fix proposals, with bad blocks check, forcing even if fs is marked as clean & higher verbosity of log output.

2. (as alternative) Erase all /cache partition area and try to format it again via recovery option:

Quote

dd if=/dev/zero bs=4096 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9
