[Q] [SOLVED] Canvas A1 bricked. Unable to even start the phone. Help pls...

Recently, I tried to install a custom ROM of Android L (beta), which bricked my device.
My device Neither boots nor able to go to recovery mode or fastboot.
Pressing power button or Power+Volume Up isn't booting anything.
My bootloader is actually unlocked.
So I tried to flash stock ROM using SP Flashing Tool and it downloaded.
But still not booting.
Is there any other way to unbrick it rather than going to Micromax Service Center??
Thanks in Advance

Problem solved!!
Actually, I had used an old version of SP Tools (v.5.13) which didn't support MTK6582 scatter configs.
Then v.5.1424 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/canvas-a1/development/official-stock-rom-canvas-a1-t2887150 helped me out and I successfully downloaded the stock ROM in meta-mode.
For users who encounter the problem:
To get warranty back by resetting flash counter, choose "Firmware Upgrade" in SP Tools, which will automatically lock bootloader and set flash_counter=0
You can check it by running the command "fastboot getvar all" in fastboot mode using ADB kit or tools in PC.
Also fixed IMEI issues using http://en.miui.com/thread-10061-1-1.html (Needs unlocked bootloader again)
Fixed Wi-fi error using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2730486 (Needs root access)
Rooted again using TWRP recovery and installed SuperSu 2.40 without bootloader unlock (doesnot void warranty if warranty present)

[Q] Recovery mode

History : i've been using an earlier pre-rooted rom for this device and after having taking care of unrooting it, i tried the OTA Update to upgrade and access the TWSP and Garbage rom.
My issue is that as i access the phone in fastboot mode with fastboot and adb i can't acces the recovery mode : the phone reboot to fastboot.
Any hint appreciated

According to http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/congrats-to-bootlocker-unlocked-t3138547
Step 1 to unlock is Update to 2.19.40
I'm on 2.15.40.13 and the OTA fails at the fastboot menu

http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/orig-development/rom-pre-root-img-t3079590/page51
I forgot this was a pre-root system.img file as explained, no stock system.img provided
I think the recovery limitation was made on purpose to avoid bootloop after OTA.
Looking for stock rom to flash via fastboot

Fixed :
Used cai_dat_CWM Tethered to flash stock rom from Asus Website
UL-Z00A-WW-2.19.40.18-user.zip from Asus Website
Then again to root with SuperSU246 update from zip

After I used it with Lollipop droidboot ww t00j stock .78 I had problems with camera. It works only with kitkat?

@ XHook
have you worked on method to re-lock bootloader..

bricked my bootloader
After flashing this I couldn't access my fastboot. Now I can't even boot to system. I'm stuck at the USB logo, where usually I could reboot to fastboot (via pressing Power & Vol +) to fix this. But now I can't even access fastboot. When I press Power & Volume Up, it shows a battery icon. Please do help @XHook.
Editted:
Sorry for panicking back there. I forgot the reboot to recovery way using Power & Volume down. At least I can still boot to my system. I'll try to find a DIY solution for this. Sorry for panicking, @XHook.

Your tool uses Fastboot of 4.3 version right? Is that the difference?

no more update? camera not found, can this method by xhook solve the problem?
i've tried this version, but make my bootloader missing/bricked, same with ezrawk post
Note : When I installed this version >> 3.24.40.87 latest stock lollipop firmware
@XHook, tell me what your firmware version when you install this UBL method.
Thanks

I was using a custom recovery (TWRP) at that time so I flashed a fastboot via install. If you aren't using a custom recovery, you'd probably want to check this out: Zenfone 5 A500CG, Zenfone 6 A600CG Last chance to debrick (This fix youre IMEI) by swiczak
About the flashable fastboot, try searching for it in the Help & Troubleshooting part, I think the user who upload the flashable fastboot zip was tank0412. Try PM-ing him. Sorry can't help you about this 'cause I forgot where I saved mine.
Goodluck!

Zenphone 2 4 giga ram bricked

Hi, my phone stuck on asus logo.
I can get to cmw tempairy recovery, ithink
When. Install the firmware from asus site, its says cant verify
Failed to verify whole file signature.what shuld i do pleaae?

Okay, not enough information, since you are using cwm temporary I am guessing you have not unlocked your boot loader which will cause the fail, can you get into the bootloader?
If you can follow the instructions and download the current rooted Rom and follow instructions to flash the stock rom

You can't flash asus firmware with cwm.
You can unbrick with adb sideload.
See THIS GUIDE how to sideload

I am done here, if you choose to follow advice to try using temp cwm to fix your phone I am sure you fail, your best solution is to use bootloader to flash, everything you need is in this thread, if you choose not to do the proper research before you start flashing things without doing the proper research before then you are beyond help here.

it says in device manager " asus android bootloader interference"
and in the phone its says normal boot and there is icon of open android/
and it written in blue "continue the fast boot process

try "fastboot devices"
if it answers than try flashing twrp or stock recovery
command to flash recovery "fastboot flash recovery filename.img"
after that u can try to flash custom rom using twrp or stock rom via twrp or stock firmware using adb sideload

I manage to make it work and install cm 13 the latest nightly.but when I make a call or receive one the phone reboots itself. What is the problem? Thanks

try factory resetting it

Thank you everyone for your help. In the end I decided to go with LG UP to return to complete stock (lollipop) and then used one click root and auto rec to re-install TWRP. However during this processes I managed to hard brick my phone by corrupting laf (download mode) and I actually managed to recover it without opening the device and shorting pins as would usually be required!
How I recovered by hardbricked D855
Hold the volume up button and plug the phone into the computer. In my case the phone tried to enter download mode (shows the screen with the text "Download mode" and several dots
This process will fail as there is no download mode to load and the phone screen with go black. Wait around 20 seconds and then press the Volume Up button again
Windows will now detect the phone as a high speed Qualcomm device and willcrackers recovery instructions can be followed to install drivers and recover the device
I'm not sure if this will work on all devices as software versions (if it does i'll be amazed) but if anyone is unfortunate to brick there device giving this ago first may help.
Thanks again and I hope my tip can help someone!
