[How-To] Bluboo x550 soft bricked

[lostdog]

Hi All.
I have a bluboo x550 that is soft bricked(I think) I can get phone to boot into recovery ,normal,fastboot modes and also factory mode but nothing seems to work.
Phone has built in battery.
I have all correct drivers loaded and when connected to computer the computer loads drivers.
I have factory rom unzipped and load scatter file to flash tool
I try to use Flashtool 5.135.06 and computer does not see phone, when i disconnect phone I have got a message (drom error S_BROM_CMD-STARTCMD_FAIL(2005).Cannot pass bootrom start command possibly target power up too early.
HELP PLEASE.

This is one reason I don't mess about with phones which have built-in batteries. I just leave them stock. Not saying its the thing to do, just saying that's what *I* do.

Check out this thread: [Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register]

Also, you can try running the battery all the way down to 0%.

Also, looks like you're using an old flashtool. Look in the MTK Tools section here for newer version.
