Hello
Thank you very much for all the info in these threads!
I was trying to follow the 'How to trick OTU Updater...' thread, and think I might have accidentally formatted the entire flash, without excluding the boot loader.
Everything was going fine up until after the format.
Immediately thereafter,

- windows would no longer detect the phone, with or without a battery
- phone wont start at all, recovery or otherwise

Following what I could find, Ive tried
- reinstalling drivers (from the OT upgrade tool)
- using a different computer
- using different versions of SP Flash (although because windows wont see the phone I doubt that would make a difference)
- OTU Updater cant see the handset either
- different cables (when connected the little blue LED on the phone lights up)

I don't have any way to recharge the battery other than the phone, but have no reason to think it is/was low (4.1V according to my multimeter).
I do have a full backup from MTK Tools, but cant restore because of the lack of connection.
I saw mention of a force flash mode, but when I hold vol+ and power up, nothing happens.

Does it follow that a bootloader format would cause these symptoms?
Is there a solution other than taking it to the agents?

Thank you for your time
Kind regards
