Gigaset QV830 Tablet won't boot even after troubleshooting
(03-03-2017, 05:07 AM)Tom223 Hello Hovatek!
I have a Gigaset QV830 android tablet. I have had it about a year or so A few days ago it started unexpectedly crashing/rebooting while browsing facebook and using firefox. It would start right back up until yesterday when it finally got stuck rebooting at the Gigaset start screen. I let it sit for a few hours and nothing happened.
I was able to boot into Recovery mode, and I attempted to wipe the cache partition in hopes that I could reboot the tablet save my data, and then hard reset. Unfortunately when I do this, I get stuck in the android bot loading screen for hours.
After this happened I couldn't get back into recovery mode. I read a lot of troubleshooting online and have taken some steps with no luck so far.
I installed Smart Phone Flash Tool, and the necessary drivers. I found two separate copies of my QV830 files to flash the system. I cannot flash my android with either of the system.img files. It gets stuck between 13-15% with the error message: ERROR: S_FT_DOWNLOAD_FAIL (0xFA8). Everything else will flash just fine with no errors (the boot file, logo, recovery etc).
I played around with a few other things. I found that if I tried to format or choose the firmware upgrade option, while they don't run successfully, they do seem to stop the android bot looping screen. After using these options, the tablet is unable to start whatsoever but after downloading the files to the tablet through the Smart Phone Flash Tool (again, all but system.img), I am able to start the tablet up and instead of getting stuck at the android bot screen, I get stuck at the Gigaset screen.
The good news is that I am able to enter system recovery now. The new problem is that when I try to wipe data/factory reset, the tablet gets stuck on the android bot screen and gets stuck saying --Wiping data..., Formatting /data... This once again when I reboot, gets me stuck at the android bot screen with the loading bar.
Any ideas on possible next steps?
Thanks a lot for your help.
EDIT: I also do have another, one of the Gigaset QV830 tablets that is working if that could be of any help to me.

Thanks for your reply!
I just tried a few different versions of SP flash. 3.1331, 5.1628, 5.1648. Nothing worked. 3.1331 gave me a different error code though: BROM ERROR S_FT_DOWNLOAD_FAIL(4008)
One of the sets of flash files I found was from here: https://yadi.sk/d/1QkL7I6dpycUT . I cant find the link for the other one at the moment.
The tablet is Android 4.2.2. The build # (found in the settings of my working tablet) is JDQ39.user.20131203.013735 . Is that the number you need?
EDIT: Chipset "Cortex-A7 MTK MT8125"

Followed the steps to get the files from the working phone but got this error "Bootdata ERR (2): 0_0"
(10-03-2017, 05:34 AM)Tom223 Thanks. Uninstalled preloader drivers, restarted my computer, reinstalled the drivers. No luck, still get boot 0_0 error.
Any other ideas/suggestions?
