I just read/dumped everything off of my metro variant. The full flash and every individual partition. If I can figure out how to share the files I'll get it up here later tonight or tomorrow.

Do you still have that backup or at least access to the tablet

Absolutely

Could you send a copy of this to [email protected]? I have one of these that I accidentally deleted everything on a while ago, and it's been sitting in the box forever. Thanks!

I would really like a dump of this, I have my dump, and after spending the entire day today, I still can't get it working. I did manage to get the screen to turn on by pushing a preloader image from another version, and even unlock the bootloader. Now, however, I can't get it to turn on at all, I've created a scatter file for it, and restored my images from my original dump, still no love. I think I may have borked my preloader?

My advice when it comes down to this. If you got the screen to turn on after restoring one of the devices preloaders then it was probably the correct preloader to be using. Try formatting the entire storage again and flash only that preloader. If it worked before then it should work again to get the screen to turn on. If it does then your next step would be to look up the information on that preloader and check to see what the latest version of ROM it is used with for your device. I have seen MTK use a different preloader for a newer version of android on the same device before. If you were to flash a ROM that is not compatible with that preloader then you would get the same result you have now... same thing if you were to flash a bootloader that is not compatible with the preloader... MTK devices can be the easiest to recover from a brick but also the hardest... they are touchy sometimes... I have 2 different ONN Walmart tablets that are at the same spot you are. One won't do anything like yours. And the other changes it's preloader in an OTA update and I can get it to turn on but no matter what I flash to it in regards to the available firmwares we have on XDA, I have not been able to get it to boot up into anything but the stock recovery and fastboot which are glitchy and it reboots randomly... however I also have a Lenovo tab 8 that I have been able to re-flash a million times over and fix without any issues and no matter how bad I screw it up... When it comes to MTK. I wouldn't even attempt to root one unless you have an official stock firmware for it and you know the exact version of SPFT it is designed to use. They are in my book as a pain in my a**.

Thanks for the reply, these particular devices seem to be really finicky, to say the least lol. I've had this thing in a box for two years or so. I bricked it when I first got it, and, even though I had unlocked the bootloader, and had a backup of everything except the preloader, I was unable to get any response from it. I even created a scatter file for it at this time, no luck.

Fast forward to a few days ago, I was on a little sprint unbricking stuff I had laying around for ages, I had gotten lucky on a few devices, and decided to dig out this tablet and give it another go. I remembered that I could always get a response via USB, so why not? I used mtk client to push the preloader that I found in this thread. and, astonishingly, it turned on! This was, however, short lived. I formatted everything and attempted to restore the full dump again. No success. The screen, was now back to completely black as well. I tried to push the preloader again, no display, nothing. I've always been baffled that I can have a full backup of this device, and no way to restore that backup.

Luckily, in my backup, I had an unlocked seccfg. I kept getting security errors in MTKdroidTools, I found that if I first flashed my unlocked seccfg, using mtk client and passing the --preloader=(preloadername) variable, that I could then use MTKdroidTools without any protection.

So that's what I did, I restored my complete backup, from two years ago, with a 32gb userdata partition. it took forever, but it worked!! Booted up with the "orange mode" warning or whatever, then booted straight to where I took the backup from. AFAIK it's fully functional, but, due to fully formatting it during my recovery efforts, I don't think cellular works, but I'm not entirely sure, as I don't have a sim that's working on the network it's from.

I've tried several avenues to produce a working TWRP for this device, but have thus far been unsuccesful.

TLDR: If you're having a problem recovering this device with a full backup, first restore seccfg using mtk client, then restore the full backup with MTKdroidTools.

EDIT** If anyone else comes across this thread and needs my firmware dump, message me, I'll send it to you.
