Thank you.

Phone is Qualcomm, not MTK, so easy methods for revival are not present.
You should be informed about that, before playing with phone.

Anyway, you can try and see if phone enters fastboot,
and if that's the case - you are lucky, maybe it can be recovered.

So try this ...

- Download recovery and files - HERE
- Download driver files - HERE - unpack it and install it
- Unpack to root hard drive
- Get into folder, open commend prompt
(right mouse click + shift - open command window here / win7 only)
- Hold volume down button and insert usb cable,
new device should appear - if you are lucky
- Type into command prompt : fastboot -i 0x1bbb devices
- If there is something like : a409dc4d fastboot (letters and numbers can differ) - then yo uare lucky
- Go to command prompt, type : fastboot -i 0x1bbb flash recovery image-new.img
- Type in command prompt : fastboot -i 0x1bbb boot image-new.img

At this point .... you should be in recovery, if everything is okay.
From that point ... you can install new rom.

You can put rom files onto micro-SD card, and load them from recovery,
under "install zip" menu (install zip from SDCARD).

now ... ROM's :

- Official rom v5 Russian - HERE
- Official rom (unpack to sdcard, restore from backup/restore in cwm) - HERE
- Official rom v01 RU - HERE
- Modded Stock rom v03 - HERE


try ... and see if it works for you.

of course, post results, and use thanks button if worked.

p.s. From point of working phone - there is a mod,
that allows to change PID, so later you can use OTU updater, if needed.

p.s.2 Those roms are for 5042D (dual-sim) model, but hardware is identical,
so after flashing it will show another sim (which is obviously non-functional).

Hi, I have installed recovery !! Now i have other problem... i cant access to SD Card... and i need access to internal memory for copy a ROM for install. It is posible with fastboot or ADB?

Thank you

[Brka]

In recovery, do wipe data/cache, from mounts and storage, try format sdcard0,
After try mount usb storage. Phone should be visible as usb removable disk.

If that dont help, you can try installing rom via adb sideload,
Check under install zip menu, activate sideload,
And push rom from adb command "adb sideload rom-name.zip

I have a problem with adb. It show with "adb devices"adb unauthorized. I cant access to storage and flash nothing for this reason.

EDIT:


Now "adb devices" is offline. What can I do? I think that I need activate USB Debugging, but how can I do if I cant turn on my phone?

[Brka]

Play with recovery, that's your best chance.
I don't have such phone so I can check what you wrote.

format sdcard as fat or fat32, use 2Gb non-sdHC cards,
etc, etc.

also, try when powering on to hold volume up button,
someone reported that with that is visible as removable drive.

as they said : "On some phones update.zip be copied to the internal memory
and put through a combination of buttons Power + VolumeUP"

Whatever you do - don't format boot and recovery.

When I flash a ROM, custpack partition size is 436 MB, when I reboot and check again size is 0 MB. I think that custpack partition have a problem.
I have tried format it but no results.

See if you have adb access, root access, from recovery.

If yes, you can dump partitions, should be /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 ,
Pro_info partition, so you can edit it and write it back to phone,
To trick otu updater to start updating it.

Could you explain better, please? How can I access to mmcblkp03?
I understand that Pro_info is in mmcblkp03 and I have to edit it.


Thank you.

Thank you.

as I said ... check if you have ADB access.

adb devices


if yes ... install SUperSU (root), or try SU command (should display # = root) :

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=/sdcard/d.img

to read image ... then copy it to PC, search "5042",
you will see PID ... edit it, and write back via this command :

dd if=/sdcard/d.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3


all of that ... if you have ADB access through recovery.
if not ... I dunno.


PID's :

5042X-2[X=D,S]PMPT3
5042X-2[X=D,Q,S]TLCZ1
5042X-2[X=B,D,Q,S]ALAP1
5042X-2[X=D,S]RGFR3
5042X-2[X=D,S]RGES3   <-- this should be your original pid.
5042X-2[X=D,S]RGRO3
5042X-2[X=D,S]RGRE3
5042X-2[X=D,S]RGPL3
5042X-2[X=D,S]RGSK3
5042X-2[X=D,S]RGFA1
5042X-2[X=D,S]TBSK1
5042X-2[X=D,S]TBMK1
5042X-2[X=D,Q,S]TBHU1
5042X-2[X=D,S]TBCZ1
5042X-2[X=D,S]TBGR1
5042X-2[X=D,S]TBNL1
5042X-2[X=D,S]TBPL1
5042X-2[X=D,S]ALGB1
5042X-2[X=D,S]RGFR3

One small ADD-on ...

Since I have my personal ot-6016x, which is also Qualcomm (Snapdragon 200, msm8610),
I just checked my partitions, and pulled via adb first 19 of them (mmcblk0p1 to mmcblk0p19),
But I couldn't find which one is pro_info (actually it's not called pro_info on QUALCOMM)

in my case it looks like this :

mmcblk0p1 = FAT partition
mmcblk0p2 = unknown (to me)
mmcblk0p3 = unknown (to me)
mmcblk0p4 = empty
mmcblk0p5 = looks like preloader -uboot.img on MTK
mmcblk0p6 = unknown
mmcblk0p7 = bootloader (boot.img)
mmcblk0p8 = unknown
mmcblk0p9 = empty
mmcblk0p10 = EFS1
mmcblk0p11 = EFS2
mmcblk0p12 = IMGEFS (???)
mmcblk0p13 = empty
mmcblk0p14 = empty
mmcblk0p15 = NVM
mmcblk0p16 = pro_info
mmcblk0p17 = mobile_info
mmcblk0p18 = SPLASH (logo) 
etc.

so ... pro_info in my case is mmcblk0p16 ....

I issued a command from ADB:
ls -al /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name

And it listed partitions by name and also which one is mapped to which mmcblk0pXX,
so - pro_info is mapped as "traceability"
in my case, : traceability -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p16




so ... if you were able to dump the block from adb shell,
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p16.img

after use command from ADB, not adb shell, to download to pc:
adb pull =/sdcard/mmcblk0p16.img c:\ (will download it to hdd root c:\ )

after that ... edit PID, and push it back to internal storage via adb command :
adb push c:\mmcblk0p16.img /sdcard/mmcblk0p16edit.img

and replace current in phone via adb shell (type su after adb shell command)
dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p16edit.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p16


after that ... use OTU updater, if pid allows updating, OTU will start,
and after finish, you will have working phone.

Hi everyone,

I have tried all ROM's and they work great! but when I apply the root update Mobile Data stops working. "Enable Data Error" shows when I try to enable mobile data, however Wifi works just fine.

Thanks

[seryioo]

Now I have total access for ADB, I have copy mmcblk0p16.img to my PC.
How can I extract .img and edit PIT?


A folder with mmcblk0p3 and mmcblk0p16.

Download notepad++
Open that image file, and take a look.
Or just search for "5042x-2" and you will see the pid

Edit it, and push it back to phone,
After it, use OTU.

And of course, post results.
