Hey Guys,

I got a lenovo A516 that won't boot, show logo etc. in other words 'dead'. It does get detected as a mtk com port. So i tried flashing with flashtool but always the error brom error s_ft_da_no_response (4001). I tried different flashtools. Tried flashing only the preloader also but to no avail. Always the same error. tried both with and without battery. So is there anything you can do to help me?

Thanks

You will have to joing motherboard gold points as instructed in https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-11802.html

Hey maxxxiii, 

I couldn't quote you as you had a link in your sentence which they wouldn't let me post, strange. 
I tried A different PC as well and don't have the tools required for soldering. There is no other way though? As the phone does get detected in MTK mode every time i connect it. 

Thanks

Possibly.
It could be a problem with USB port, USB connection or corrupted storage chip. On rare occasions, it might be a totally drained battery.
The crux of the error is that the phone isn't responding to SP Flash tool's attempts to connect

lets see a screenshot of this error as well as the SP flash tool window, shift the error window to one side of the screen so we'll able to view the SP flash tool windows
also try flashing using a different USB cord and or PC
