Ainol Spark (tablet) - how to unbrick

I've bought used one Spark (A31) that had problems after some kind of update (the only thing i know is that someone tried to update it with custom rom, i don't know what it was). In the past i've bricked Ainol Aurora (A9), but it was easy to unbrick, so i thought that it will be the same with the Spark, but i was wrong.
Spark is booting and hanging with some update message. You can translate it as "Android is updating. Starting aplications" or something like that. I've found that A31 do not let me start in recovery mode ("home, volume + power do not working"), PhoenixSuite (also LiveSuite) can't find the device ("home, plug usb, hit power many times"). I have the newest version of Android SDK and installed USB driver. Win7 x64.
btw: sorry for my english

Anyone help?
I tried PhoenixSuiteTools in few versions and also SDK and Win7 x64 is not recognizing my brick. I tried all the combinations of tablet buttons (back/+/-) with power tapping to force update under Phoenix and still nothing. I bought it from the second hand with a knowledge of update issues (i have no warranty on it) and had no idea that it can be something that i couldn't fix in one day.
I heard somewhere, that there is possibility to prepare bootable sd card, start with it and then force update from PC. I don't know how to do it and found no tuts in google.
Please help, I can't afford for gsm service that is taking 50$ for just opening the case...

Device redmi 1s dead please help !!!!!

Accidentally my phone droped on the floor after that it kepps the mi logo loop after some time the battery got dead and phone also not charging. While connecting to the charger cable the led blinking and looping. Buy my phone doesn't charging and while on the flash process without battery the fastboot mode opens and closes rythmically.and my computer doesn't take the time to load the drivers. Now what to do feeling dizzy....
Please help me out of this problem. I think it bricked but not hard. Because the fastboot logo comes but not more than 5 seconds it goes off. Please help

Try giving it to a local repair store.
I also had the same problem. If I used to remove and put the battery back, it used to reboot. I tried flashing using fastboot, but it used to reboot every 6 seconds. According to some friends of mine (Thanks to them) I gave it to a store, which in turn (I dunno how) hardbricked the device. I connected it to the PC, tried to go to fastboot, and it shows up as QCOM Loader 9008, which basically tells you your device is hardbricked.
Fastboot didn't work.
Using MiFlash Tool, while flashing through the QcomLoader, it showed "Did not receive hello packet"
Tried many times more, didn't work out.
So, I went and tried the trusted method: TEST POINT method.
It worked out. Now my armani is up and running!
TL : DR;
Try giving it to a local repair store (not Mi service center, they didn't help me AT ALL.)
Something might have dislodged.
Or
Try testpoint method, google for it
it *might* work. Well, that worked for me.

Not end at all
Hi, sorry for very late reply
Recently I discovered that the battery is dead not working at all. And while doing the test point method I think battery power is needed! So I ordered a spare battery after the delivery I will do the test point method agian. Currently if I plug in my phone thorough usb to my computer the qcom 9008 port shows but while flashing it gets detached then re shows up . And the flashtool error happens. I think a battery power is required so that this failure is happening.
So, what do you think is edl mode requires battery power?.
Need help because I have to fix it. It's my one and only loved phone of all time.
Currently I am using my friends phone to discuss about this matter.....please help me.....

You do not need battery power for test point method.

Hello, my phone has been completely dead after switching to slot B via TWRP.
But major problem is that it is not recognized by PC, no nothing like port 9008 into device manager.
Already tried different combos, but no luck.
Tried with deep flash usb method, still no luck.
Please help if anybody has any idea or method how to bypass this situation.
Also, if anybody knows about the test points in our z2 force please please provide us, Thanks!
If we successfully deal with this situation, many many major problems will be solved or dealt with ease on xda regarding our device.

no response
my issue was i disconnected and rebooted the device while reflashing the firmware(mid way)
and its been dead ever since

Accidentally flashed the wrong blankflash (so I can't flash Android) and I didn't find any way to put the phone back to EDL mode... Only Lenovo/Motorola knows...

Yep, I'm having the same issue. I was on Stock Oreo, and tried to OTA to Pie (my phone is RETBR), OTA was detected and download, but the install fails every time, seems to be an error with partition B (logs are above), so I intended to flashall the slot B to "correct" the partition, but as soon as I marked B as active and rebooted to bootloader again, the phone didn't startup anymore, and nothing is reconized on PC.
Anyone got any progress on this?
