[HELP] Stuck In Factory Mode - Loop

[PraneethMv]

Hey Guys,

I have a dead phone(kind of). All it displays is
"Have been in Factory Mode. long press power button and Normal boot"
And in very tiny font, there is a line saying
"=>Tool DL Image Load Fail!"
This stays for a few seconds then it turns off, and repeat, again the same this comes up on the screen.

What I have tried:
1) Flash the stock ROM using SP Flash Tools several times
2) Cleaned the power button from the inside a bit, because some thread said there might be a sticky button.

Flashing with SP Flash Tools shows that the flash is successful, but it didn't help.

EDIT: Now it displays something as "eFuse blow: Success". Damn!

Have you set it to format all in sp?
Try it maybe it will work
If didnt i think its hardware issue

Hey, Thank you for replying.
Have tried that method, its just the same thing, but now it is not displaying that tiny line.
Now it goes into the factory mode and shows some options in Chinese. And it stays there till i select something.
The last option, i know is "Reboot To Phone" (Via Google Translate).
When i select that option it goes back into the Factory mode again.

Tried to flash TWRP through SP, it returns an error:
ERROR: S_SECURITY_SECURE_USB_DL_IMAGE_SIGN_HEADER_NOT_FOUND(6045)
MSP ERROR CODE:0x00.

Make sure volume + button is not pressed.
During boot can you boot in to stock recovery,
press POWER BUTTON + VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN until Lenovo logo appear, then continue press VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN

Thanks all. I somehow got it to work... and now my phone is all good.
As crazylife told, there was some hardware issue. Apparently, there was a tini-tiny bit of a circuit which, due to water allegedly, got short. I had it cleaned by some local phone shop.( He also claimed that the phone work anyway ,though). After that i flashed the stock rom, and it worked.

And btw, how do i mark the thread solved?

Hi, even I'm stuck with the same problem.
Even the lenovo service center guys raised their hands saying it's an hardware problem and I've to replace the entire PCB to slove the issue. Could you be more specific on how to resolve this issue? if possible could you please let me know at which place you got your mobile fixed? Thanks

I had a problem with the Motherboard due to water getting in, and apparently it caused a short-circuit near the power button module. Actually speaking, I was really dissatisfied with the kind of service the Lenovo guys give to its customers, because first they told me that they will clean, and claimed that the board must be changed. The only thing which needed to be done in my phone was to clean that part of the board with White Petrol(you can ask the local mobile shop guys, they will have it, but just be careful). That solved my problem. And thanks to few threads, i got it working.
P.S: I am from Hyderabad, so had it solved here in a local shop.

Hi, Thanks for your reply. Was able to come out of that situation after 3 days, but had left my mobile with the local service center for 2 days (At the time, when i took my mobile from service center, my mobile was not working, was informed that the mobile is dead) I thought of giving a last try and plugged in the charger on 3rd day it started working . My mobile had a new problem display was broken (from inside) and speakers were not working, when i asked that guy his reply was " how can i know, your mobile was dead, when u brought in hear, my job was to fix it, why will i break it?" though my mobile was back to normal I had to pay a huge price of display and speakers. Hope everyone got to know the take away from my story. Crazy world; lesson learnt.

Hey!
My phone had some water damage issue, hence the loop. Opened the phone and cleaned it a bit. Yours might be different problem, try flashing stock firmware, or going into fastboot mode and flashing recovery. Currently don't have this phone so can't help that much.

Oh. Yes my phone too got wet in rain. I went to some shop and they helped me out. But thanks to you I realize that it was repairable and that too without loosing any data. Thanks so much for saving my thousands of ruppees that'd have been wasted to get a new phone. Also yes this model in general is pretty old so I can understand that most of the people don't use it anymore. Again thank you very much for saving all the stuff I had on this phone and the money. ??
