Well I finally managed to Hard Brick my A110 a few days back. I was thinking that everything was lost and my A110 was as good as a brick! But I struggled with it for two days and finally managed to bring it back to life! This is how I hard bricked it, but resurrected it too....
Hard brick:
The hard brick happens when you flash a non A110 stock ROM through SP flash. This happens when you get overconfident during ROM development experiments and forget the basic fact that flashing the "pre-loader" accidentally of any other ROM( (even if it is of MT6577) that is different from A110 leads to the phone going dead. The charge LED dies, and the phone is totally in alien land when the PC sees it through the USB cable
You cannot flash anything through the SP flash any more. The phone will not power on or boot. Welcome to the land of bricked phones!
Resurrection:
1) First perform an uninstall of the MMX/Mobistel drivers you already have on
your P.C. Install the drivers again.
2) Take a piece of insulated wire (Around 3 cms long) and solder a 10K resistor
to one end. To the other end solder a pin to the pin head so that the tip is
free.
3) Remove your phone battery and keep the phone ready.
4) On the PC/Laptop, start SP flash tool and select the right scatter from the factory stock A110 ROM. un-tick all except the first five (Preloader, DSP_BL, MBR, EBR1, UBOOT) + CWM recovery (You should have replaced default recovery with CWM recovery in the ROM folder). Click "Firmware-upgrade, Download.
5) With battery taken off from your phone connect it to the PC/Lap using the USB cable.
6) Now touch the resistor end to the USB Cable outer part (GND) visible at the point of USB connector connected to the phone.
7) Touch the other part (pin end) to all visible copper terminals one by one.
8) Now without removing the cable, place the battery back.
9) Now keep your fingers crossed. If you have luck, you will see the red, blue, green and finally yellow lines on the SP tool window. You are done!!!
10) If your battery was having good charge when you were bricked, you can now power on to recovery mode and flash your CWM saved ROM or any other ROM.
11) If your battery was low, when you were bricked, leave it to charge for an hour before attempting to flash the entire stock ROM through SP flash or CWM.
Cheers!!!
