If Android's Linux kernel is version 5.10+ you can try to root device's Android at your own via

Thanks for this I will look into it & this works for 146U?

Does anyone by any chance have a scatterfile for this device? or preloader.bin ? i was on A146USQU1AWA7 before i completly messed up by using metkutility (android utility) now stuck on it only showing as mediatek usb port or mediatek da agent or mediatek preloader in device manager... ive tried various things to restore it but get errors when trying to use sp flash tool..

 

[exnfox]

I'm exactly on the same situation. I just could get a MTK rom (scatter rom) that flashes only the preloader (after that, sp flash tool keeps saying me "status_partiton_not_found 0xc0040006"), But despite it flashes successfully the given preloader, the phone wont get alive (not even want to enter into download mode). You can get your own scatter files, by using android utility (tab Android>Firmware utils, option "Extract samsung rom". You just need to have available an unzipped unencrypted Odin rom) the issue is that generated scatter supposedly belongs to a MT6853 instead of a MT6833, but changing all references of 6853, to 6833, it works, but as i say you, just enough to flash the preloader. If I get more advances, i will say you. But if you can to unbrick your phone before mines, please tell me how.

yes i will let you know however ive tried many things including what you mentioned... i even went as far as paying 5 dollars to download a dead boot repair file from some site all it was just the firmware extracted like with mtk utliity... i wonder whats going on here. with the scatter file saying its mt6853 when the phones chipset is mt6833 and how do we flash it when we try to just change the value in notepad but it still fails everything except preloader?

preloader_s96902aa1.bin
preloader.img

im thinking the bin might be something differnt than whats suppose to be on the preloader partition? idk still expirmenting

I want you guys to conduct an experiment with me in flashing your device.

The phone has Mediatek MT6833 or Dimensity 700.

I wil use different set of tools to have it fixed for you.

Let me know if we can do that. I will use Anydesk or Teamviewer to do it and then if your device is fixed we can make a tutorial to help out others.

Okay want me to pm you my teamviewer Id?

 

[mvikrant97]

My friend, I also found this site that assures to have available for download, a SM-A146U scatter rom. The issue (at least to me), is that it charges for its download (and you have to sign up to this site). So I'll share you the link, and if you decide to invest on that download, please test it and, if you can bring back to life your Samsung, please share it (or at least its scatter file). Have a good luck with it.

SM-A146U Scatter Firmware

No need to pay anyone. We can make our own file.

Hey there,
Yes please PM me your ID. I will available in an hour from now.

I have the file already the scatter doesn’t work so nevermind my initial request for that

I can make it work

 

[exnfox]

I can make it work

I sent you my details

 

[mvikrant97]

Another thing that I knew by experimentation was, that even on Brom mode, the device won't let downgrade its firmware. I tried with an earlier samsung firmware, turned into scatter firmware; and sp flash tool showed me this warning: "status_sec_violate_anti_rollback 0xc0020021" that supposedly means that the device is rejecting the loaded firmware by being an old one.

We can downgrade with unlock tool.

 

[mvikrant97]

Hmm, and ¿is there a free way to downgrade it?

No it can be done using unlock tool.

Do you have the Samsung A14 5G?

Can you please help us in getting the dump of the firmware?

 

[mvikrant97]

I have one but I got its scatter firmware by using android utility (you can generate one too. You just need to have Odin firmware to load it on this program), but it seems not to be very useful (i couldn´t unbrick my phone with it. Sp flash tool while using the created scatter, kept showing me this warning "status_partiton_not_found 0xc0040006", and I haven't could surpass that issue.)

I already have the scatter firmware. I need the dump from a working phone though

 

[mvikrant97]

Oh, that's the problem, at least to me. I didn't know how to dump the firmware of this phone, so i bricked without having such thing. Would be good to know is someone has it and share it.

How did you ended up bricking it?
