Did you perform a downgrade from Android 9 to 8.1 ? if that is the case, grab the Universal Downgrade File and flash it before flashing a 8.1 firmware.
If you upgrade to 9 then the Downgrade Fie is not necessary. Remember to flash stock lk recording to [GUIDE] How to Convert your Nokia X5 to Global Nokia 5.1 Plus / Unbrick Guide By hikari_calyx

[Q] [SOLVED] Android One bricked. Unable to even start the phone. Help pls...

Recently, I tried to install a custom ROM of Android L (beta), which bricked my device (Canvas A1).
My device Neither boots nor able to go to recovery mode or fastboot.
Pressing power button or Power+Volume Up isn't booting anything.
My bootloader is actually unlocked.
So I tried to flash stock ROM using SP Flashing Tool and it downloaded successsfully.
But still not booting.
Is there any other way to unbrick it rather than going to Micromax Service Center??
Thanks in Advance
Problem solved!
Actually, I had used an old version of SP Tools which didn't support MTK6582 scatter configs.
Then v.5.1424 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/canvas-a1/development/official-stock-rom-canvas-a1-t2887150 helped me out and I successfully downloaded the stock ROM in meta-mode.
For users who encounter the problem:
First, Install VCOM drivers for MTK devices..
Then install Android CDC Gadget Drivers.
Download the KitKat stock ROM.. (See instructions there)
Use SP Flash Tools v5.1424 from there to download it.
Use both 'download' and 'firmware upgrade' modes to flash.
Other issues after flashing:
Also fixed IMEI issues using http://en.miui.com/thread-10061-1-1.html (Needs unlocked bootloader again)
Fixed Wi-fi error using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2730486 (Needs root access)
Rooted KitKait using TWRP recovery and installed SuperSu 2.40 without bootloader unlock (doesnot void warranty if warranty present)

Lenovo A7000 STOCK MARSHMALLOW [Android 6.0] FLASHING WITHOUT SP FLASH TOOL

I recommend using the SP FLASH TOOL method for flashing stock ROM if possible.
TO FLASH THIS STOCK FIRMWARE via SP Flash TOOL Click here
THIS is Lenovo A7000 Stock "MARSHMALLOW [Android 6.0]" OTA UPDATE.
version : A7000-a_S223_160405_ROW_WC814D6764
This method is the alternative method to the SP Flash tool.
I have tested it and it works:-
First, when I am on stock Lenovo rooted lollipop ROM(ver.S153_151127_ROW).
Secondly, it also worked when I am on marshmallow rooted ROM (ver.S223_160405_ROW).
The third time it works when I am on vibe 3.5 custom ROM [MM based] with custom kernel.
If you have a rooted device, your device will unroot after installing the update.
If your device is not rooted then also it works like a charm.
To install or flash this OTA ROM
1. You should have Lenovo stock recovery installed. Use any one between method a or b
(a)If you want you can Flash stock recovery via TWRP. Click here
(Procedure is the same as installing zip file in TWRP).
(b)Flashing stock recovery via SP flash tool. Click here
(Run spflash tool Download and unzip the package, load the scatter file and flash it in "download only" mode)
After flashing recovery immediately boot into a recovery check if the recovery is installed or not if not then flash recovery again.
2. Download the stock ROM from the Lenovo server.
DOWNLOAD LINK: click here
3. Now make the two copies of the downloaded package first one in internal storage(not in any folder).
4. Rename the package to update.zip to the one in internal storage.
5. Then Boot into recovery (Power + half a second the two volume buttons), then select English as recovery language.
6. Now select install update package. It will give some warning click yes then the update will start.
In between, you will feel that update is stuck don't worry it is updating, after update your phone will reboot automatically. (update may take 10-15 minutes)
WHATEVER YOU DO AT THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. NEITHER I NOR XDA WILL BE RESPONSIBLE IN CASE OF ANY HARDWARE/ SOFWARE DAMAGES CAUSED BY YOU TRYING THESE METHODS. YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE.
IF THIS THREAD REALLY HELPS YOU THEN PLEASE TAP THANKS.
If you want to flash through SP Flash tool the go to this thread:-http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/lenovo-a7000-as223160405-row-andoid-6-0-t3360467/post66404777#post66404777

[UPDATED] Unlock bootloader of Meizu M5c and install TWRP

I am not responsible for any brick.
I tested this guide myself and decided to share it.
Make a backup before this guide because you will lose your data!
The unlock method has been updated and now you can unlock the bootloader more easily without the risk of bricking after an OTA and without changing the bootloader.
Now you can safely unlock the bootloader using mtkclient.
Link: https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient
TWRP can be installed via mtkclient or manually from rooted Android.
TWRP Download link: https://github.com/XRedCubeX/twrp_meizu_m5c/releases
IF you unlocked the bootloader with the old method you can follow these steps:
1) Download the attached package.
2) Download OTA zip from flyme, link: http://www.flymeos.com/firmwarelist?modelId=70&type=1
3) Download the latest version of SP Flash Tool.
4) Download MTKClient and follow the instructions to install it.
5) Power off the phone and keep unplugged it from PC.
6) Open SP Flash Tool, select the downloaded package and select all partitions, then press the download button, don't plug phone for now.
7) Boot to recovery with vol +, plug the phone on PC, depending on recovery, TWRP or stock, use adb sideload or put update.zip in internal memory and install the zip.
8) Let the phone reboot or reboot it manually.
9) Now start the flash from SP Flash tool automatically, let it finish.
10) After the flash, unplug the phone and reboot into recovery.
11) Paste the update.zip in the phone and flash it.
12) After reboot, let your phone reboot into android and power off.
13) You can follow the guide to unlock bootloader with mtkclient.
FAQ:
A) But will I lose the data with this guide?
Yes.
Make sure to back up your data in any case!
B) But this guide is a bit different than usual, where is "fastboot oem unlock"? Or "fastboot flashing unlock"?
Meizu has not implemented an unlock command and in this case to unlock the bootloader we have to use a tool that makes us change the unlock status.
C) Are there Custom ROMs?
There is only one custom ROM for this device, the Lineage OS 14 but I advise against using it because it has a bit of a bug but I haven't had more time to work on it yet.
D) But wasn't the guide different?
It has been updated with a better method with more advantages.
E) My device is in Hard Brick! How can I solve?
There are various types of Hard Brick and it depends from situation to situation.
F) I have installed Lineage OS 14 but I am not satisfied, I want to go back to Flyme!
Flash update.zip from official website.
G) Can I relock the bootloader?
From MTKClient readme:
for relocking use:
python mtk da seccfg lock
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
H) TWRP? I am interested in Device Tree, where is the link?
Here: https://github.com/XRedCubeX/twrp_meizu_m5c
I) I have a Meizu A5 (Chinese M5c) will it work on it?
I can't assure you anything but it could work, the only way to be sure is to test on a Meizu A5.
J) Can I flash twrp from fastboot?
Fastboot refuses to flash partitions, strangely, I don't know if downgrade or anything changes the situation but for now I was able to flash it with mtkclient.
I can remove the FlameOs from the Meizu M5c and install a custom rom. So far I haven't found any rom for this device?

I tried the procedure and it failed. Apparently it just formatted it but couldn't finish the process, returned an error. Then I tried to reinstall the stock ROM and it generated the error S_BROM_DOWNLOAD_DA_FAIL (0x7D4) & 2004). Now my phone is off and I can't turn it on anymore.
I tried this method but it didn't work:

You unplugged the device while it was formatting, consequently it no longer has the bootloader, that error means that the device needs an authorization file that unfortunately only meizu has, shortly if I can try to release a tool to unbrick it in cases similar to these

It's a shame .. I hope you can really release this tool, so I can revive my phone. Thank you.
You can make a video on youtube showing the procedure on the Meizu M5c. Installing Twrp and LineageOs 14? Just to make sure it works

For now I can't make the video because I can't release the Lineage because I'm fixing some bugs and I want to do some checks before releasing it publicly

Ok i found a working guide, tried on my M5c and it works:
Search on YouTube: flash mtk without da ,
You will find a video called, just exactly as I write here: "How to flash MTK secure boot devices without a custom DA" and follow the video tutorial for unbrick your device.
P.S:Obviously when the guide ends you flash the ROM from SP flash tool as you normally would

Did you finally manage to fix the device?
Were you able to get on with the guide?

XRed_CubeX, I followed the tutorial from start to finish. I used the SP Flash Tool to install the M5c stock ROM, the ROM was flashed 100%, but after disconnecting the USB cable the phone did not turn on.

Have you flashed the Stock ROM or the Engineering ROM? I remind you that even if you have flashed the eng rom only once previously, you can no longer return to the flyme bootloader so use the normal stock ROM but you will have to flash the Engineering rom

Well, I flashed the stock ROM a second time, using the Firmware Upgrade option, and it worked. My phone turned on and I'm in the initial setup screen.
By the way, this Engineering ROM is the ROM you shared above? Do you think it is stable enough to be used? Maybe another day I'll install it, with care to not do anything wrong again

Yes, the ROM in this thread is ROM engineering, about the stability I can't tell you why I haven't tested it, the main purpose FOR ME was to get the bootloader unlock with this ROM, if you want to switch to ROM engineering you CAN install the flyme after installed the Engineering ROM but you must always modify the OTA zip so that some partitions do not flash but if you are interested I will talk about it in more detail and maybe I will give you a hand to flash flyme safely on bootloader engineering

Actually, the ROM I installed with SP Flash Tools was not the update.zip from the official Flyme OS website. I downloaded the stock rom from needrom.
I have done this several times before.
But now, strangely I can no longer update to the latest version. The version I'm running is Flyme 6.0.2.0G. I tried to download the update.zip file and install it manually by clicking on it, and it appeared "corrupted file". I also tried to use the Update application and "network error" appeared. But everything else is working perfectly.

I would like to know how to install the latest version of Flyme OS via TWRP. If you can tell how to do this..

Are you working on a custom Lineage OS ROM for this device? I'm interested, when you can publish it.. Do you have a prediction of when you will be able to release that ROM?

Ok, I'll explain in detail how it works: In the guide you will have read that you cannot return to the flyme using the stock rom or an unmodified OTA. This is a tip because once you flash the Engineering ROM, the engineering bootloader (which is essential for unlocking) will also be flashed, but the problem is that if you flash the stock bootloader (the flyme one, the one you surely have when you get the phone), the device for a reason unknown to me, probably the Engineering ROM modifies something in the device (?) and then goes into brick if you try to return to the flyme bootloader. To flash an OTA flyme on TWRP, you must first have some precautions: you must take the OTA on your computer (or a file explorer capable of editing zip files) and remove the following files: lk.bin preloader.bin (it will have a name longer but you still have to remove that) and tz.bin / trustzone.bin. Done like this, now the OTA becomes safe to install, you install it from TWRP, at the end of the flash it will give you an error but it is because it does not find the files we have removed but we can safely ignore it because it will have successfully installed the flyme on the device.
Regarding lineage: I'm still working on it a bit and gradually I'm discovering bugs. I already warn you that the camera will not work in the Lineage, I have tried in every way to try to make it work but it does not want to go, I have asked for help everywhere but no one has been able to answer so I do not know what to do, for the rest I want to keep a little longer the ROM under test to fix the remaining bugs

Question Can anybody extract its rom images for me?

Recently I broke my smartphone and now it is in a bootloop and I can't install the official rom to it. Ofp file is a piece of **** because nothing can flash it even Realme flash tool says central directory not found. I am lost. If anybody can give me it's rom extracted from it's phone i will thank you.
Have you tried using SP flash tool ?, what region is your phone ?
Yes I am trying but you know thanks to the mtk secure stuff it is almost impossible to get the phone in brom mode.
Use mtk client to temporarily bypass security and flash using sp flash tool, when using sp flash tool always use DOWNLOAD ONLY otherwise your phone will stop booting
