Method A to Fix Bricked Android Devices & Tablets

Factory Reset / Cache wipe

  • Switch off the phone.
  • Press the volume increase button and don’t release.
  • Press the power button and keep holding down both buttons.
  • Don’t release till you enter recovery mode which will either show clockwork m0d or an Android lying on its back.
  • If you see a robot lying on its back then you’re in stock recovery. Press the volume buttons or power button to go past the robot lying on its back.
  • In stock recovery, you use the volume decrease button to navigate and volume increase button to select.
  • In Clockwork m0d recovery, you use both volume buttons to navigate and power button to select.
  • First wipe cache partition then reboot the phone.
  • If that doesn’t work, reboot into recovery and select Wipe data / factory reset then reboot.
  • If factory reset doesn’t work then format the memory card, slot it back in, do a factory reset and reboot.
  • If none of the above helps then proceed with this guide.

  • Go to Backup and restore

Method C to Fix Bricked Android Devices & Tablets

Manual Driver and Clockwork m0d installation – Backup and restore

This method assumes you neither have access to a working phone of the same model nor have clockwork m0d installed on the bricked phone but have downloaded / have access to the clockwork m0d backup of the same model.

  • Download PdaNet
  • Download MTK Droid tools
  • Get the img for your phone type from someone who has the same phone as your bricked one (via MTK tools backup) or download boot.img for your Tecno phone.
  • Switch on the bricked phone then connect it to your PC (don’t mind even if it still get stucked at the Tecno logo)
  • With the phone still connected, install PdaNet on your PC
  • Still with the phone connected, extract and launch MTK Droid tools (green logo).
  • MTK Droid tools should display your phone’s details and the box at the bottom should be yellow.
  • If it doesn’t, ensure the drivers were correctly installed then boot the phone into factory mode (volume decrease + power button).
  • MTK should now detect and display the phone’s details.
  • Click ROOT at the bottom, select Yes / Grant to any prompt on phone or PC and wait till the box turns green.
  • When the box turns green, click on the root, backup, recovery tab.
  • Click to choose boot.img file.
  • Click Recovery and Boot then navigate to the img from 3 and select it.
  • Click yes to every prompt.
  • When asked, click yes to boot into recovery mode.
  • You should now have Clockwork m0d recovery installed on the bricked Tecno phone from which you can do a restore, wipe cache partiton, wipe davlink cache, reset to factory state or flash a new stock or custom ROM.

  9. I bricked my Hot Note while trying to update with about 2% battery left while trying to unbrick it battery died and it doesn’t charge how do I unbrick it with no battery life as the battery cannot charge. PLs help urgently

  13. The third instruction is about rooting an unbricked tecno, why didn’t you specify? If there’s a request for confirmation on device screen during the rooting process how do you think its going to be accessible while the phone is bricked? Secondly the ROM you posted after extracting and copying to the root of the SD card, the recovery still couldn’t detect it. With respect please can you be more specific or more elaborative?

    • Hi Abbey…
      with the 3rd method, any request can be completed on PC… about the ROM… it may not work for you, but you can get it from someone else using the same device as the bricked one. with this it should be detected.

    • Hallo segun,
      with this error, you need to copy a new ROM of the Infinix Zero 2 on your SD card. after that you need to wipe data/factory reset and the go back to apply update from sdcard (here you need to select the ROM from your SD card then apply)… let me know if it works
