That is hardware problem bro not software issue atall. There is nothing like dead phone if u know what u are doing. Flashing of phones is totally software issue. If u have the stock rom of d particular phone u want to flash enable all d files after u load d scatter files and do ur flashing. Even if d phone is dead finally. For example I have flash techno Droid pad stock rom into techno c8 unknowingly. The phone went dead totally I have to look for d techno c8 stock rom and flash again and the phone came back to life. So bro for d phone board to went bad is not as a result of the flashing maybe d computer supply high current to the phone or the USB cable used is bad d cable may bridge togeda and pass bad current to d phone this can damage the board which is hardware issue.

Are you saying that software issues can't stop a phone from completely irreversibly losing connection with a computer?

puresoul1:
please just remove that (u could lose your phone forever) it annoying seeing it

Well it might be annoying but it's a fact. As I speak to you, I have a tecno R7 belonging to my nephew that was bricked while flashing. Now it's completely dead because it cannot register connection with computer. It was taken to Carlcare lagos from here in Port Harcourt but they said the only solution is to change the complete board.

[quote author=AwesomeRomeo post=39907057]Bro I have a little problem. I want to prepare a rom flashable by sp flash tool. During the rom backup with the mtk Droid tools, it says "task end in ERROR" and when I try to choose file.md5, it was not in the mtk Droid tools rom backup folder. Please what should I do? [/quote try to repeat the process again but if it fails, don't use the backup. I thank mtk droid tools still has compatibility issues with MTK 67** cjipat]

puresoul1:
are u sure u in this for years, and u telling people this well it advisable not to tick the preloader but don't tell me my phone will be come back to life

I really don't want to think that you have an issue with clearly understanding my earlier comment, however, I believe that in your bid to hastily criticise me, you didn't take time to understand my first message before jumping to your criticism. I wish to make you understand that there was never a place where I said you will brick your phone if you tick preloader. I said you could. That is quote different from you will in English OK. One is probable while the other is certain. For reference purpose, I will post the message again........


Please I would advise all those who want to flash stock rom to make sure that they untick preloader before flashing. Once you load scatter file and all the options are ticked, untick preloader because it is not necessary to flash preloader. Moreover it is very dangerous if anything goes wrong. If an error occurs while flashing with preloader ticked, you could lose your phone forever because the preloader is what ensures connection with computer even when phone is off. Once anything goes wrong with that sector, it's bye bye forever to your phone.

hyzahya:
drop your WhatsApp no..and please when flashing back the stock ROM did you format the one in the phone or you reloaded it?..cause I was rotted before

I have already posted my procedure above. I didn't format before loading new rom. All I did was to load scatter file, I then unticked preloader. Then I clocked on download at the top of sp flash tool. Then I connected my already off phone and waited until the process complete. Make sure you use the download only option on the drop down menu on sp flash tool

hyzahya:
give me the link to the one you downloaded please

it's the link that was posted here in previous pages. The uploader may have deleted previous uploaded file and uploaded a new file. Just check If your phone now has the following options on the pix I will upload. If it does, then you have latest rom. Notice the auto on pix one and your phone should have H and H+ on top network notification... Then in pix 2, notice the tiny padlock icon at the top right hand corner of every minimised app. That's the icon that prevent any app you want from being wiped whenever you click the cleaner button. If your rom has these, then you are on latest rom. If not, I suggest you get a stronger network and check for update again. Maybe your network is preventing communication with tecno server

hyzahya:
ABEGGGGG OOO! make una help!
I just flashed back the stock ROM with no problems...buh to update now..e dey tell me say system up to date without even doing the first update not to talk of the second update....is it normal or its a problem??

not normal bro. Except if the rom you downloaded already contains the update.. Maybe the manufacturer has already added the update to the rom you downloaded

AwesomeRomeo:
Bro I quoted you and u a question but u didn't answer me. I said what about when Flashing back the rom one has backup using mtk droid tool to the device, am I supposed not to tick the preloaded option?

it's still the same procedure. Once you open Sp flash tool, click on scatter loading and navigate to your phone backup location of the mtk droid tool, click on the scatter file, and it will load all the files. Untick preloader, then click on download, power off your phone and connect via USB and wait for the process to complete. Note that the actual backup of your phone on mtk droid tool is not the files in the backup folder but the files in the files to flash folder. To understand this better, Google how to prepare mtk droid tool back up for sp flash tool..... Read the instructions from this site. You will also see a place where you were asked not to tick preloader or dsp when flashing

bigsammysam:
Pls do not confused people u advice dat when flashing d stock rom d preloader bin should be uncheck. How will the phone boot on even come on when u did not flash d preloader with the rest files. Pls people in the house when u are flashing ur tecno stock rom make sure u tick all the files in it when u loader d scatter files. for gud result so do not be mislead. There is notin like u will lose ur phone for life like what my broda said above. Even if d phone brick dead finally it can be brought back to life. Nobi mouth is what have Done when my phone brick dead totally.

Well, I believe that's to your own understanding. I have been into the phone flashing business for years now and I rarely tamper with the preloader because I know how important it is. Without the preloader, your phone is completely blank. When flashing and you untick the preloader, it means that that sector won't be flashed and it would still retain the one originally installed by the phone manufacturer. This is helpful in cases where the wrong rom or files are flashed because in that case, your phone still retains ability to communicate with computer. Once that ability is lost, the phone is gone forever. You may have been flashing preloader, it's OK. But the day you will get into a hitch, you will remember this post. Secondly, if you doubt me, flash stock rom into your canon C8 without the preloader ticked and see if your phone won't boot up. Your phone will boot up because the preloader sector is not tampered with during installation of rom when preloader is unticked thereby leaving the factory installed preloader to still function

U have nothing to fear of, even if you brick it, u can always flash stock ROM.
Now follow my steps:
Use SuperSu.apk to unroot( settings> full unroot)
Whether u back up ROM through twrp or not, continue.
Back up your useful files to your SD card, remove it and your sim card
Swithch off your phone
Open your flash tool, upload the scatter file of the stock ROM( it will tick all)
Click download
Connect your phone through USB
After successful icon
Remove and switch on.

Please I would advise all those who want to flash stock rom to make sure that they untick preloader before flashing. Once you load scatter file and all the options are ticked, untick preloader because it is not necessary to flash preloader. Moreover it is very dangerous if anything goes wrong.

Go to the previous page for the link

I need just the recovery, not the whole rom

Please can somebody upload stock recovery for me to download

tunnamania11:
For rooted users that need update, unroot first with superuser.apk. flash Stock Rom ( tick all options in sp flash tool) to your phone.

Am surprised you failed to tell them to back up their files first before doing this because if they follow your procedure, it means they are loading rom from scratch and all files will be toasted. I will suggest that only recovery img be flashed and then try to install update and see.. But before you do.... BACK UP ALL YOUR DATA

Micheezy7:
H+ tins

was your phone rooted ehen you updated,?

omotolani22:
Hello all,good afternoon.pls I forgot my C8 unlock pattern,I have tried so many times but not working.pls what can I do?thanks for your urgent responses

Sign in using the Gmail account you provided and use in opening playstore on the phone then reset

tunnamania11:
I now understand y I failed to root. I find it hard to boot into recovery at first try. Whenever I finally got it into recovery, it will first show "no command", then I have to press again to get it into recovery .

once you flash the twrp recovery, and disconnect your phone from computer, just hold down the volume up key, then press down the power key too meaning that at this point, you will be pressing down both volume up and power key together. Hold down until you see the tecno logo then release. You will see the twrp icon in recovery. This will happen as long as you don't turn on your phone after flashing twrp

bigsammysam:
Same problem here. how can it be corrected? is it to flash d recovery again with sp flash tools.

yes please. Once you make the mistake of turning on the phone without booting into recovery, you have to start the whole process again from scratch

tunnamania11:
Guy, I need help here o. I finally flashed recovery.IMG to my phone but I couldn't boot into recovery immediately , so I switched off my phone and boot again . I clicked install update from SD card and I chose SuperSU.zip , i got installation aborted .

I am surprised that you are still having problems after I have posted step by step procedures and the dos and don't on previous pages. NEVER TURN ON YOUR PHONE AFTER FLASHING THE RECOVERY ELSE THE FLASHED RECOVERY WILL BE REPLACED BY THE ONE FROM TECNO. YOU MUST BOOT INTO RECOVERY ONCE YOU FLASH THE RECOVERY BY PRESSING DOWN VOLUME UP BUTTON THEN POWER BUTTON. THEN SWIPE TO THE RIGHT ON TWRP TO MAKE IT YOUR RECOVERY, ELSE IT WILL BE REPLACED BY OLD RECOVERY ONCE YOU START YOUR PHONE. Your phone must be turned off while using sp flash tool to flash recovery

Dam5reey:
Your question is confusing to me...
Both has or do you mean at the same time?

Once I switch data to any sim it switches with 3G..
I used MTK to change to 3G only....
Check my previous posts to see that..

Find attach with 3G on sim 2

Oh I see,. Anyway, I wanted a situation where I can activate 3g on either of both Sims without activating data because I mainly use WiFi but Etisalat network is very poor in my area on 2g but OK on 3g. The problem is if I activate data on it to bring 3g, my airtime will be consumed by background data whenever I lose WiFi network

Please anyone with any idea of how to switch 3g on both Sim on the Camon c8? The option is not there. Only Sim one has 3g on stock rom. Is there any software to do this?

Ram manager pro solved the multi tasking issue but the phone now lags like hell

supersam95:
I THINK RAM MANAGER Has actually fixed my multitasking problem it exceeded 800mb and the cache process is more than what it used to be.........

how did you use the rom manager to solve the multi tasking issue, please post procedure

mytym1:
Rooted thanks bro you're too much

welcome

Slatemsk:
Do I need Internet connection to do dis

no. Only to download the softwares

dahdon:
bruh.,its still not detecting my fone even after installing the vcom driver.(using windows 8.1)

I also used windows 8.1 to do mine. Just ensure that you uninstall all old drivers for the phone then install the vcom drivers. Also check your USB cable

lukmoore:
don't spoil your phone o! Once i'm rooted i will post the fix i already have it.

OK. I am waiting. Am already rooted, if you follow my procedure, Am sure you won't have any issue

Please who knows how to edit build prop because that's the only way we can resolve this multi tasking issue and to hell with those lazy tecno developer

lukmoore:
Is it compossary tp run sp flashtool as administrator? Cuz i remember i didn't and could that be tje reason i was unable to root it?

just follow my procedure. If it doesn't work for you, re-download the file directly from site. You have to register to be able to. Maybe the one you downloaded is corrupt. I downloaded directly from

I just succeeded in rooting my phone after temporarily bricking it. I will be posting the procedure here. Nobody should be afraid of bricking his camon c8 because 1, the phone is cheap and it's a crappy rubbish , 2, stock rom for the camon c8 can now be downloaded at romkingz.net. to unbrick it. Now to the procedure.. Download the files, install mtk vcom drivers, open sp flash tool on your pc and run as Administrator, load scatter file, click on download, now connect your already turned off camon c8 to the computer via USB. Wait for the green pass mark to appear...... THE IMMEDIATELY BOOT TO RECOVERY. NOTE THAT IF YOU SIMPLY TURN ON YOUR PHONE AFTER FLASHING THE RECOVERY FULE, ANDROID WILL REPLACE YOUR FLASHD RECOVERY WITH THE ORIGINAL STOCK RECOVERY....... after booting into recovery, twrp recovery will come up and ask you if you want to modify recovery. Swipe to modify else it will be replaced on next reboot. Note also... DON'T ATTEMPT TO ALLOW THE TWRP TO INSTALL ITS OWN SUPER SU IF IT ASKS YOU TO, BECAUSE THAT WAS WHAT GOT MY PHONE BRICKED. INSTALL SUPER SU BY clicking on install, chose your zip file which contains the super su which you downloaded and install it. Reboot phone and wait for it to boot up. Might take a long while to. Just be patient

If this is what you call multitasking, then you really don't understand what we are complaining about. Why not try to go back to one of the apps you are running there and see if it won't restart. Try to minimize a game, run another app and switch back to the game you minimized and see if it won't restart
