[SOLVED] Infinix Note 6 - unable to do anything with SP Flash Tool
(22-02-2020, 02:12 PM)AndyYan Long story short, this is my first MediaTek device, and I run into trouble almost instantly...
Background: flashed a recovery image ported by Hovatek's MTK porter, phone wouldn't start anymore,
Issue: STATUS_BROM_CMD_STARTCMD_FAIL (0xC0060001)
What I've tried:
I suspect that if I could properly power off the device, it might respond to fastboot key combo again, allowing me to flash from there; however, this device has a builtin battery and I don't have the tools to disassemble it at the moment.
- Various SPFT versions
- Run as admin and compatibility mode
- Plug in device after initiating download
- Various key combos while plugging in
- Different USB ports
- Various DA loader files, including one from a thread on this forum
I tried Miracle Box just in case, and it also doesn't proceed with flashing (likely same underlying error).
Ugh, I didn't know that MTK could be even worse than Spreadtrum. Any tips?
(22-02-2020, 03:45 PM)X3non if the first custom recovery flashing attempt failed, there's nothing wrong with the device except it's stuck in flash/preloader mode. refer to https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-808.htmlKey combos don't do anything. I've yet to leave it charging for long enough so I'll do that for now, but the device was fully charged before the failed flashing attempt so I don't expect it to work.
you can try the vol button tricks on that page to get your device to power on
I won't say mtk is worse than spreadtrum, you could encounter this same issue and worse on spd too. most devices now come with inbuilt batteries

I guess I'll just buy a pentalobe screwdriver.

At least ResearchDownload "just works"...
(24-02-2020, 09:09 AM)X3non randomly try holding either of the two volume buttons before you connect the charger (ensure to use an A.C wall socket charger)All 7 possible combos with the 3 keys have been tried to no avail. I'm just waiting for the screwdriver to arrive now.

As replied to the other user, maybe help me get SPFT working in the meantime?
