I sent you a bit of feed back but probably in the wrong place. I have flashed the four TWRP recoveries on my A145R/DNS and no damage done. Nothing has taken either. I tried adb side load and Odin but when I reboot to recovery, it comes up as normal.

well ive done it and damn near bricked this phone using mtkutility (well now its called android utility)

all i know is that it still shows ub in the device maanger... its weird though trying to flasxh firmware i download stock rom from samsung and extract the firmware using the mtkutility and the scatter file it generates says its for mt6853 however the phone im trying to fix registers / says online that its mt6833 so inevitably sp flash tool fails....

any suggesations would be great... im able to use mtk auth bypass and even begin to flash with sp tools but there scren has only remained black no matter what... cant get to odin or recovery or anything ...

It looks like you've messed up your device with mktutility.

@physwizz
A. On your PC
- Firmware: download from one of these sites
https://samfrew.com or https://www.samfirmware.net


Fastest


1. Connect phone cord to PC
2. Reboot into download mode

Normal method
1. Turn off phone
2. Hold down both volume keys
3. Plug in computer

Bootlooping
1. Plug in to computer
2. Hold down both volume keys

For a difficult phone
1. Connect usb to computer but not to phone
2. Hold down all 3 keys
3. When it buzzes release power and quickly plug in usb to phone.
It might take a few times to get it right.

If it's REALLY BAD
Wait for the battery to completely run down and use normal method.

Escaping the Black screen of Death.

Method 1 - to reboot to TWRP recovery
1. Plug in USB cable to PC
2. Hold down all 3 buttons on phone.
3. When it buzzes release volume down and plug in USB cable to phone.
4. Restore a backup

Method 2 - to reboot to download
1. Plug in USB cable to PC
2. Hold down all 3 buttons on phone.
3. When it buzzes release power button and plug in USB cable to phone.

3. Flash each part of the firmware into its slot.
BL_xxxxxxx.tar.md5 goes into the BL slot
AP_xxxxxxx.tar.md5 goes into the AP slot
CP_xxxxxxx.tar.md5 goes into the CP slot
CSC_xxxxxx.tar.md5 goes into the CSC slot.
Note: if you want to revert to a version with a lower binary, just flash AP and CSC.

4. Factory data reset
5. Wait for the restart
6. Skip through a minimal setup
7. Activate developer mode
8. Allow usb debugging
9. Reboot into download mode
10. Flash recovery.tar in the AP slot
11. Reboot into TWRP and mount everything that you can.
12. Format Data (not just wipe) - don't restart
13. Flash multidisabler or Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt if needed by your device.
14. Wipe both caches then go back and Reboot into Recovery.
15. Restore your data backup.
16. Reboot

Lost Download Mode?

If your phone boots into recovery mode instead of download mode, this is how I solved it.

1. Let the battery drain down until the phone turns off.
2. Try to turn the phone back on a few times by holding power key.
3. Hold both volume keys and then plug in cable to pc.

This gave me my download back again.
