I bought a H9500+ a few days ago and Rooted it and installed CWM with no problem. I did a full backup to my SD card and copied that backup to the PC. I felt I was now safe to experiment with some flashes as I was trying to get T-mobile data to work with it. (It did but was slow).
In flashing some radios, I managed to brick the phone. Now it won't turn on. I have tried Pressing and holding every key combination (including the normal Vol+ and PWR) to no effect. The screen shows nothing. I tried flashing stock ROMs with SPFlash. It detects the phone when I plug it in (I get the normal USB beep beep too) as MTK Com5. I think this is OK. The red line moves across quickly and then it just sits for 41 seconds until it times out and I ge "BROM ERROR: S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032)"
I have tried various Roms for this phone and recoveries, but it will never flash anything now. There is a video on Utube with a French guy who appears to be fixing this on another phone, but I can really follow all his steps from the video as the screens are too small to see what he is doing.
Anyway, I have a full and complete backup in a clockworkmod folder, but I guess that is useless? Since the phone will not power up at all, I can never get to the point where I can load anything from the phone itself.
Anyone have any ideas?
If you'd asked on here first, we could have told you it's impossible to change your radio frequency.
How did you flash the radios? With SP Flash Tool?

Yep, I used spflash and it completed successfully. After disconnecting and a reboot, it was toast. I thought I was safe since I had a CWM backup (and still do), but I guess there is no PC tool to load this into a bricked phone.
no worries, your phone still can get back to normal.
enable dram fail (4032)
what u need.
1) download the latest version SP flash tool V 3.1316
2) download the rom (let me name it as ROM_9500) that suit your phone.
now try to flash again.
if still cannot pass the enable Dram fail, (usually it should be able)
then go n look for preloader.bin from other rom (get the latest cable flash rom) then replace the preloader.bin in the ROM_9500 or even try to get other model phone's preloader.bin that are similar to yr phone , or if some one same as your phone, get the preloader from them. or u can download the preloader.bin that i had uploaded at the below link
this is how i unbrick my phone S7589, but i am quite sure the procedure are similar for your phone
refer to the following

Am I the Second? The same steps let me into the same situation: I have a brick with a "feiteng h9500+" stick.
I've trying to flash all the preloaders i found, but i cann't fix it. Always i've recieved the "s_ft_enable_dram_fail(4032)". I've download a updated rom for this phone, but nothing to do.
Any idea?
Thanks for the suggestions. I downloaded the latest SPFlash and now I get the error almost immediately after the red line gets to the right side. At least I don't have to wait.
The frustrating thing is that I have a CWM backup made from this phone when it was working. That backup contains a boot.img and a restore.img which I can use in place of the ones in any rom that I can load in the spflash program. I have downloaded what was said to be the original rom, but the download was just of a CWM backup and I already have that.
I think you are right and it is the Preloader file since if I uncheck it, I get error 4054 and only when I check it do I get the normal 4032.
Does anyone know of a real preloader file for this phone? I've tried several with no luck.
Can a preloader file be made from a complete CWM backup?
what version of flash tool u use
SP flash tool V 3.1316.150
thanks again for your help.
I don't think that u can get preloader from a card flash rom (or back up from CWM)
Try to flash with V3.1312 ( never know, it might work)
or
Try to check with your shop that u buy from if they can send u preloader.bin by email. the file is not big, it should be around 150k only. (they can back up the preloader from the phone)
I had bought 2 phones
The first one S7589/16gb version, it took me 2 weeks to flash tru the "Enable DRam Fail(4032)" after I get the right preloader.bin ( at that time the preloader.bin on the web is older version.) , but it is funny that , after I get tru to flash to my phone, I try to flash the same rom with the original preloader.bin in the rom , it go tru also, I can get the green circle after 100 second (approximate) , but when I tried to on the phone, I cannot on the phone, then I tried to replace the preloader, then the phone back to normal, it work. I also helped a person on line to recover the phone 8gb version, flash the rom with original preloader, it get the green circle, but same, cannot on the phone, but replace the preloader, the phone is working.
For the second phone INew6000(6.5") or (firefly V65 - both are the same, except the name/model). I get the rom from needrom.com , I tried to cable flash, it is ok, no problems at all.
the advantage of cable flash is that u don't have to worry to flash a wrong rom(card flash or cable flash), after all, u still can get back to normal, the disadvantage is u hardly can get a custom rom that are in this format. (usually only stock rom). so the cable flash is only to unbrick your phone, then card flash the custom rom again.
Thanks again for your help. I have tried every preloader.bin that I can find that says it is for this phone. Actually, in every rom I found, there is the same preloader.bin file - all the bytes match one to the other.
So I think something else must be going on. Even if I uncheck preloader in SP Flash, I still get error 4032. Unchecking should tell SP Flash not to download this file, so where is the message coming from?
I wonder what SP Flash is really finding. I have the log files, but can't find any clue in this as they are extensive. I even have log files from when it worked.
the phone is recognized in Device Manager and in SP Flash and it says it has transferred about 140K bytes at around 30kbps when the red gets to the right side and the error pops up.
I guess I'll check every few days for new posts of roms for this phone and see if any of them will work some magic, but I'm not hopeful.
