Tecno P5 hard bricked and not detected by SP Flash Tool
(26-10-2014, 08:05 AM)hovatek(26-10-2014, 07:50 AM)codedtee I mistakenly hard-bricked the second working P5 last night. I then successfully flashed the MTK backup I did somee minutes earlier and it worked.. Note that while flashing, it brought out the mobile phone's chip info at the bottom left corner of the SP tool. The tool saw the phone on a DA Com port.
I then tried to flash the dead phone with the same procedure and files but it didn't work. It didn't show the chip's info and still gave the error 4032. It saw the phone on MTK Com Port 17.
Am guessing the two phones might not necessarily be the same type even though they are both P5. This is because the dead P5 once got hard-bricked cos it was once flashed by the guys at Carlcare.
What's the next step please..? Thank you.
format the bricked p5 using sp flash tool. Do Not format Bootloader. just a normal format

try version 3.13 after format. if it's still the same error then you'll need to get p5 new OS since you said it was flashed at carlcare
(26-10-2014, 08:21 AM)codedtee Am guessing something was changed at carlcare. How can I get the new OS?

You'll need to keep scouting for other P5s. for M3, the difference between old OS and new OS lies in the background color of the app drawer and it's design (see pictures @ http://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-311.html ). can't say for P5.
Hint: you can try flashing one file at a time. start with system.img (Android) . This should tell you which file exactly is incompatible.
