My x920 got bricked randomly. Version: e2001v21_v89_zlh_hd

[Voliminal]

Hello guys I got a x920 and was working good until it started doing something similar like Samsung Galaxy S3 Sudden Death.

The phone would randomly get a screen freeze, and the half bottom of the screen got distorted like green and pink lines, then slowly, the pixels were turning to black until the whole screen gets black, but the backlight would remain on.

I had to pull the battery out, and sometimes the phone would work again instantly, some other times, it wouldn't turn on, only after some time, and after a lot of battery pulls.

But last time I got this sudden death, the phone never came back.

I had the stock rom and only root.

My model version is: e2001v21_v89_zlh_hd

Most people with this phone have the e2001_v89_zlh_hd, and most roms on needrom.com are for e2001_v89_zlh_hd, there are a lot of roms for e2001v21_v89_zlh_hd though but I tried everything and I got DRAM Failed.

There is a solution from a French guy about the DRAM failed problem, but I got the S5 rom downloaded as he stated, and can't get pass the red bar on SP flash tool.

Do you have any idea what is going on with the 2 versions of the phone? People say that they read on chinese forum that v2.1 (e2001v21_v89_zlh_hd) has got different EMMC. So I guess roms from the e2001_v89_zlh_hd wont work.

Do you think it might be hardware problem?

Well... installed windows 7 in another partition.

It was like I never did it, exactly the same result. Everything behaved the same.

I don't know... maybe I have crappy mtk drivers, or I'm doing something wrong while installing them.

Let me describe the steps, and if I'm somewhere wrong you can tell me.


Well, after a clean windows 7 install, I connect the phone to the pc (with or without battery,I think I tried both, didn't see something change) it gets to "other devices" as an "unknown device". right click to update driver software, select the folder with vcom drivers.
It gets recognized as a mtk usb port.

Try to flash like that, same results.

Then I go to update driver again, but this time I click "let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer." I uncheck show compatible hardware, then I choose MTK Preloader USB VCOM Port.

the device now shows up to the device manager as "MTK Preloader USB VCOM Port".

Try to flash, everything is the same...


I read somewhere, that the normal installation of vcom drivers is kinda different, that it get's shown up as "MTK Preloader USB VCOM Port" right away, and I read that when you install the vcom driver correctly, it connect and disconnects the device every 3 seconds.

Maybe I could ask for preloader.bin from smartdigi team from needrom.

But I didn't manage to get the preloader.bin yet, I'll ask for it, but why the official rom on needrom.com preloader.bin is not working with my phone? And why would smatdigi preloader.bin would work for me?

I tried roms that are for e2001v21_v89_zlh_hd but even their preloader wouldn't work for me.

Maybe there is something wrong with your TP.
