Hi there,
I just updated P8000 via OTA update and after downloading the Update, the phone restarted and stops at the elephone boot Logo (about 30 min )!!
I did 5 Restarts but every time it hangs at the boot logo...
In the past i did no other updates or flashing ROMS.. nothing!
When i press "Volume Up" and "Power" to Start, i get three Options:
Recovery Mode
Fastboot Mode
Normal Boot
Using Recovery Mode leads to: Symbol Android Robot with "No Order" (in german : "Kein Befehl")
Using Fastboot Mode leads to: Nothing (Recovery Menue stays)
Using Normal Boot leads to: restart and hanging at Elephone Boot Logo
So, I am running out of Options... any ideas?
Cheers, Albert

The Hardware of P8000 is pretty cool, but the Software is "§$§"%§""!$%
When you go to recovery mode and get the the android robot symbol. Press again Vol up + Power until you enter to recovery. Make a 3 wipe (data factory , cache and dalvink). Reboot and uninstall the El loader. Use another Loader instead of El Loader
i had the same problem. (in English NO COMMAND) I only flash Eragon ROM again. Sometimes you have to repeate.

After that everything goes according to instructions

In order to uninstall EI Loader, install first root (superSU), then install ccleaner and you can uninstall EI Loader (In system app)
Hi there, sorry for the revival !
But i got the same problem: OTA update, fail, P8000 blocked on boot screen.
I tried wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache -> nothing changed, still boot screen blocked...
Then, i tried to use flash tool, but, the phone isn't booting, so my pc isn't recognizing the phone..
I'm not even sure that I correctly installed the drivers..
Can i use flash tool even if the phone is blocked to boot screen?
I downloaded this ROM: stock-rom-elephone-p8000-20150907-android-5-1 (this is my first post i can't post URL..)
Because i got some issues with my phone and support told me to try it.
But when i follow the tutorial, launching "donwload" and connecting the phone, nothing happening..
The phone turn on, and display recharging logo, and flash tool still wainting.
Recovery mode -> "No command", Volume up + power is working, i used it to wipe datas
But at the moment, i'm still blocked, since 2 days, i dont know what to do
Can someone help me?
Thank you by advance, i hope my english isn't so bad

Yes you can use SPFlash tool evenif the phone stucks in the boot screen. Simply switch the phone off, start SPFlash tool and then connect the phone to usb.
If you follow the instructions from elephone, then your phone should working again: http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-1037-1-1.html#.VofQ13wvdpo

Hi, and thx for the help.
The driver is correctly installed now, i had to allow unsigned drivers in windows parameters.
So, i followed the tutorial, again.
I configured SP flash tool, clicked download, and then connected powered off P8000 with USB.
But, again, the phone displays recharging logo, and flash tool still waiting...
The phone is recharging so the USB is working, so i don't know how to make my PC detect the phone......
Is there a way or a thing that i missed?
thank you..
EDIT: i finally got a timeout error from flashtool..
I missed something, but what !? i can't remove P8000 battery, is there somthing to do to get it detected by windows?
Like a boot mode, or a magic formula... i'm open
For MTK Driver installation:
Did you follow skeletons Guide? http://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p8000/help/guide-windows-10-mtk-vcom-usb-drivers-t3264884
I'm sorry to say, that I do not have any experience with windows installation, this problem, because SPFlash tool performes on my 64bit Linux very well, without any driver trouble.
Cheers
Hi,
I'm on windows 8.
I used SP_driver_v2.0, that is an .exe
it's the only driver tips gived in most of tutorial
I allowed unsigned drivers installation, and i correctly installed it.
I tried too use flashtool before and after restarting the PC-> no changes
Flashtool doesnt detect the phone
I start getting crazy..
I have repaired mine, so i'll share

So the simple way to solve it is flashing the latest stock elephone p8000 ROM, which you can find on google easly
1. as described on other forums, you have to install the adnroid drivers, then get the sp flash tool, and have an un-zipped stock elephone p8000 ROM.
2. if you are stuck at bootloop, do the following to power off the phone so you can flash the ROM
1. Long press power button until power off
2.Do it fast--Press volume Up and then hold power button
3. choose recovery (volume up choose menu, volume down enter)
4. android logo with red triangle is displayed( "no command")
5. hold power button and press volume up
You're in recovery mode
3. select power off
4. open the SP flash tool >go to download tab>opne "scatter loading"( you will find it in the Folder where you unzipped the stock elephone p8000 ROM, if you have more folders there, chose "firmware" folder)
5. on the left side, under scatter loading, you will find a "pull-down" tab - it will be written "download" chose "firmware upgrade" or "upgrade"
6. start the process, then connect your elephone p8000 (it must be powere off) via usb cable to the PC, the process will start,and in less then 5 Minutes you have a factory new Elephone p8000 with the latest good update
7. WATCH OUT- it will erase all your data, absolutely all your data on the phone, except SIM and SD card.
Hope it helped, if not, feel free to ask me =)
Hello,
I have similar problem. Bought P8000 5 days ago. Did update today. Bricked. Stuck at logo ... I tried to flash but SP flush tool but the process isn't starting. When I downloaded ROM I received long list as on the screenshot: kaczorowscy.name/Screenshot.png
I have ubuntu - I see lsusb and dmesg see the phone (it is shut down from recovery menu) but maybe I am missing something ....
Ok here is what id did:
1. Get SP flashtool
2. get newest stock ROM
3. Shut down phone through android recovery menu (start phone with holding volume up, select recovery mode, wait for dead android, hold volume up and unblock button for 3 sec.)
4. Open SP flashtool - use "format all + download" of ROM (unzip and select scatter file from rom) - click start
5. Connect shut downed phone
6. Dot OK! from flashtool
PS. Flashing removed IMEIs - they are both written on the battery - you need to use android service menu to check them with special codes and reboot the phone.
Thanks ALL! :good:
Fix - Recovery Mode

When I was trying to root my p8000 I couldn't flash a custom recovery, fortunately I discovered that to access recovery on stock android you need to go to the screen with the android and "no command"/"no order" text and hold down Vol+Up and Power for 3~ seconds and then release power, this will boot you into recovery mode, If wiping cache/factory reset isn't enough "fastboot flash recovery <image>.img" SHOULD work now
hope this helped
Hi,
my OnePlus3 is dead.
Nothing to see on screen, no vibration by pushing the power button.
Tried to unbrick it with UnbrickToolMini. It startet one last time after hours, but failed to boot because some parts ar missing now, system failed, recovery failed, boot failed.
I do not dare to use UnbrickToolFull from June 2016 with OxygenOS 3.1.3, because it is now OxygenOS5.
Is it possible to exchange the firmware in MSMDownload Tool ?
There ist some data on the phone I do not want to lose.
Or is there any other possibility to flash the firmware without data wipe?
Thank you!
Best regards,
Nicole
I doubt that since the userdata partition will be wiped on your phone, no matter what the files in the MSM Download tool.
The os version is irrilevant, the tool doesn't just flash an OS, it will return the device to factory status, so i dont think ita a problem using it
Ok, I have done that, but with the mini ubrick tool I can not boot into recovery, the phone goes off after selecting recovery mode.
The full unbrick tool removed the data, although the guide says "remove all userdata* from rawprogram*"...
But the phone gets booted sometimes. Then touch is not working anymore. And if I connect it to to the pc, it turns off or reboot into a bootloop.
Most of the time it does not turn on. I push the button for hours and the phone goes on only twice.
Any suggestions would be nice!
Thank you!
Best gegards,
Nicole
Use unbrick tool full , boot then download latest OOS 5.0 and put in internal storage update to latest. I'd done this way.
I used unbrick tool full. If the phone turns on and boots, I can not touch anything on the display, it is not working. And if I connect it to the pc, it turns off or reboot into a bootloop.
So how should I copy the update to the phone?!
I do not understand why the phone is rarely turn on...
Makes me crazy. Never again a OnePlus!
Download again the full unbrick guide and flash again. If it's not working your phone have hardware problem.
I installed twrp and bricked my mi max. I slid the slider to allow modification.
I get stuck at the mi logo on booting. It's not moving.
I can't even power off the phone. The stuck mi logo is always there.
I managed to roll back to the stock recovery.
Booting into this recovery is still possible but I don't know what to do from there since it cannot see any Tom to flash.
Booting into fast boot is possible, but the phone is not detectable on PC.it doesn't show up in device manager. It was previously detectable, before I flashed twrp through fast boot .
Is there any way to unbrick the phone without losing my internal sd card media?
No way to unbrick without losing media
Your phone is encrypted
Wipe data from twrp and flash any rom of your desire from ex-sdcard
This should unbrick the phone

I assume your device is unlocked, there's no way to unbrick you device without loosing data.
Try this step
1. Remove your battery / unplug battery & replug it again.
2. If can enter fastboot mode, and type this command on adb
Fastboot device (make sure your device is detected)
Fastboot oem edl ( your device will be blank & become qualcom)
3. If step 3 doesnt work, before connecting to PC. Connect edl pin on motherboard then connect your to PC (detect as qualcom)
4. Run Mi flash & flash your miui ROM, wait untill finish.
5. Try turn on your device.
Hope that help
