If you have bricked your Lenovo A7700 phone or any other MTK based Android phone then follow the tutorial below to unbrick it.
There are two types of bricked condition:
Soft bricked
Hard bricked
Soft brick occurs due to certain software errors and should usually be fixed by just performing a factory reset.
Hard brick occurs due to hardware malfunction. Actually, a hard brick device is the real "bricked/dead" and cannot be unbricked. In this case the phone doesn't turn on at all and is equal to a brick, rendering it useless.
Not sure what I should call my bricked phone. No matter what techniques I tried it wouldn't start at all. Applying the fix below worked for me.

"The 'modemmanager' package integrated by default within Linux Ubuntu 14.04 and later is not compatible with the MTK Flash Tool for Linux."
To put it in different words: The modem manager controls port /dev/ttyACM0 and disables the Flash Tool. So we blacklist it for the two MTK vendor IDs the flash tool uses:
Recently my Lenovo A7700 mobile phone started crashing and giving various problems. Often, it would prompt messages such as "Google Service Framework has stopped working" or "Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped" and lots of other errors, which eventually would cause the phone to crash. The only solution that would make the mobile functional again was to remove the battery and start the phone.
Then I tried flashing my phone with Stock ROMS & Custom ROMS hoping to resolve my problem. In the process I came across some interesting tools like SP Flash Tool, SN Write Tool etc. The tutorial below explains the working steps to successfully operate the SP flash tool.
Using SP Flash Tool, I have successfully flashed my phone in both Windows and Linux. In this post I will explain how to flash your Lenovo A7700 in Linux/Ubuntu. This same method can be used for flashing various other MTK based Android phones. Also find below the download links for SP Flash Tool, SN Write Tool & stock firmware for Lenovo A7700.
