Hello

I have Xtouch X508 mobile with spec

System Android 4.2.1
CPU MTK6589 1.2GHz Quad Core
GPU Imagination PowerVR Series 544
Memory 1G
Storage 4GB NAND Flash + 8GB Micro SD Card
External Storage Support 32GB Micro TF Card
Display Screen Size 5.7inch
Resolution 1280×720

I rooted my phone and installed CWM recovery (both found in this forum). My problem is I tried many custom roms/stock roms found in needrom site such as Roms for Zopo H950+, MX86(similar specification with X508) using flash tool / CWM recovery. After successful installation my phone start with blank LCD and reboot repeatedly. Sometimes I can hear boot sound also

Any help appreciated
Nobleki, I don't mean to sound rude, but why did you flash firmwares that weren't made for your phone? If you flashed over the preloader, you are likely hard bricked.

Can you get into recovery? If you plug your phone into PC with MTK Droid Tools running do you see the initial info for your phone come up?

I can get into recovery and I can see initial info using MTK Droid tool

I have original stock rom and Rom manager backup in SD card so I always get back to original condition when my phone get bricked

The initial info of my phone

Well that's excellent news you can still get into recovery and see your phone info in MTK Droid Tools. It SHOULD mean your preloader is still intact and you're only soft bricked.

What happens when you try to SP Flash your stock firmware back?

Sorry just want to clear that when my phone flashed with custom ROM/ New ROM I can't go to recovery because it is in boot loop when I try to restart (I can see LCD light is coming behind and even hear boot sound for some ROMS).

But it is always possible to flash my phone using SP flash tool using my original ROM after connecting to PC

I tried many different combinations such using my original preloader and boot images in custom ROM. I even replace the built property file of custom ROM with my original built.prop file .All the cases same result blank LCD or stuck with logo on reboot

Any chance is it the problem of LCD driver mismatch?
It's possible. Are you sure the stock firmware you have is an exact match for your phone? Possibly there were different releases?

One thing is sure, be careful of flashing over the preloader with preloaders from different phones.
