Root I Think I've Stoned My Phone ... Help Please ... !!!!

ravinOrion

Newbie
While Trying Lenovo's A50 system.Img ... everythig went smooth and fine and superfast ... untill the time i realized that the soft keys have changed their way of function ... they blink but not work as they were supposed to work on A75.

Things i tried to solve ... but no success :

Rebooted : booted well and fine, just soft keys are dumbed.

Restored different backups .... no use, but the screen got unresponsive or misresponsive.

Flashed different ROM's ... no success ... the issue persists.

Power+VolumeDown ... Tried to calibrate the device but got stuck at Keys Calibration. Instead, additional camera keys appears in lieu of a75 soft keys.

Frilled myself and formatted phone completely including the format of NVRAM and NAND successfully.

Flashed Phone with Stock ROM. Ran It with no issues .... but the soft key problem persists.

Any Last day HELP, Advise, Suggestion, To-Do's-n Dont's... before i head to the Service Center ...!!!! ... Will be highly appreciated.

Thanks In Advance ... :)

try format+download while flashing
and make sure u have anarchy rom to restore imei

Did it already ...

step wise:

First i formatted the entire phone with "Format" Option ... In that i used "Format whole Flash" ... Then formatted it again manually.

Once it was a successful format ... then Format+Download 'ed the Original stock with OK prompt.

Guess there is some other memory in-build, other than Nand, which stores such data like calibration and other factory stuff ... but i formatted it through SPFT manually which would have erased all calibration data.

I don't know, but will hold my faith till Monday and will try whatever i can safely. Cuz Monday is the day when my phone is gonna get serviced, hopefully ... fingers X'ed at that too.

Thanks anyways ... :)
 
this is really strange coz I have flashed fly iq270 rom which has wrong calibration of capacitive buttons but it reverted back when I switched back to stock

Well i would suggest to first shutdown ur phone and take out its battery.
After some time reinsert the battery and format ur phone completely.
Then disconnect it from computer and leave it without battery for some time.
(say for 1 hour)
Reinsert the battery and reflash ur phone with default ROM. I thing it would work.:)
 
Well, I tried formatting the phone, Just the "FORMAT" (and not format+download) ... but this time with Validation box Checked. .... And i got some BROM error as seen in the attached pic.

Anyone know anything about this ...!!! Please help if you do. Thanks... :)

open sp tool load scater file recomended to use ninad a75-1 remove your baterry conect your phone in some seconds connect your battery now format and soenload. it shsould fix ur issues

use imei tool and create imei file and replace using root explorer it worked for me as a charm

Well, None of this worked ... There are absolutely no issues, not even a single hint prompt, while formatting normally or format+download 'ing, when i start phone after downloading, perfect bootanimation, perfect startup, but just at the lock screen, nothing happens, no soft keys nor the phone screen is responding.

Just One error i'm getting, The BROM error, which i've mentioned in previous post with a printscreen pic. Please look into that as what may cause this error.

SMT issue ??????
Simultaneous multithreading ... thats what needs help, i guess.
Or may be its a Hardware Issue ... !!!

This seems to be a hardware issue. flash stock firmware. go to service centre, that is the best option you have.
