Hi!
I don't know if you've already fixed this issue, but last night I managed to resolve this!. My lenovo s860 had the same symptoms as described above. My PC didn't recognise the device when it was connected with an USB cable. This is what I did:

1.) I bought an JIG. The revival didn't work like the Samsung phones, but it does make the battery unloaded.
2.) Unload the battery by placing the Jigg about 8 hours
3.) Install the MTK drivers (when not already installed)
4.) Download the original Lenovo s860 Rom and Flash tool by clicking this link (It took a while to download the whole file...:rolleyes: ):
forum . etbuying . com / viewtopic . php ?f=18&t=4017&sid=6e8f4a06df858bf1f2f27b7c02be56e5
5.) Password = "et"

6.) Open Flash tool and try to set the standard language to English (Hint: use the Chinese .pdf file to locate the language settings)
7.) Open scatter file in the Lenovo Rom map
8.) Choose "Firmware Upgrade" in the pull down menu
9.) The row with "user data" has no path filled. Choose the same path as the other files (select the "user data.bin" file).
10.) Click Download/Start
11.) Connect your unloaded phone to your PC with the USB cable. and the download+installation of the firmware will start:D

The same problem

My Lenovo S860 is detected by the computer, but SP Flash Tool does not start transfering the files to my phone. It does nothing when pressing power button or power + volume up + volume down. It is a shame that Lenovo did not instal a reset button on this phone.

Hi,
I'm not sure what happened but phone now can't boot, can't enter recovery, can't flash any ROM.
Just red light when connected to usb power.
None of the propositions worked. Does anyone has better suggestion?

Just wait for 1-2 days until it ran out of battery power then you can start flashing back the original firmware. Just follow exactly the instruction of flashing a firmware using SPTools.

Solved This Problen (Unbrick S860 Deadboot)

I've found a way to solve this period. It turned out very easy. It turns out if you experience your S860 deadboot (hh dead condition, and just out the red glowing led) just remove your casing and just pull the battery connector and flash again using flash tool. Then say it is done. Hope this helps you all :p :)
