Wiko Rainbow went dead (Cyanogen CM13) and is back alive! - [Fixed] & [Solved]

Recently this was to read on the other post ("Wiko Rainbow Cyanogen CM 13 ROM - Marshmallow 6.0.1 at XDA for Wiko Rainbow") a word of warning because me and some other users, suffered from a suddely "My Wiko Rainbow is dead"-syndrome. So I decided NOT to give up on my device with success!
While I wrote on my Blog before:
WORD OF WARNING:  DON'T PROCEED (without reading)!!! After two days of working perfectly, my Wiko Rainbow blasted. Can connect it to power - but no charging and no indicating light / animation. I can connect it to PC: *DING DONG* -> USB detected -> *DONG DING* "USB gone". No lights or whatever at the phones side.

Can't see any devices in system properties. Can't what's damaged. Youtube ran over night. Maybe the phone overheated and I didn't realize it. Or the battery drained to the "point of no return". Who knows?! So: Caution on own risk[...]

That's what I did to fix it:
  1. get the files from my tutorial here: Wiko Rainbow CM13 ROM
  2. (if connected) disconnect the phone from your computer
  3. remove the battery from the phone (for 5secs+)
  4. open SP Flashtool as Administrator
  5. pick the Scatter-file from the Fresh 04.12.2014_V1.13.zip Install
  6. choose install mode [FIRMWARE UPDATE]
  7. (if not autom. done) tick all checkboxes
  8. hit [DOWNLOAD] AND (within 2-3 seconds max) :
  9. put in the battery and plug the cable
  10. wait for the tool to finnish
  11. disconnect the phone, remove the battery
  12. in sp flash tools now chose mode "Download" from the dropdown menu
  13. untick all checkboxes but let "RECOVERY" checked.
  14. click right next onto the path of the recovery to chose one
  15. there pick the TWRP 3 for Wiko Rainbow
  16. hit [DOWNLOAD] 
  17. put back in the battery
  18. plug your phone to the computer
  19. wait till [OK] is prompted
  20. unglug your phone.
  21. turn on your phone
  22. let the phone boot normally
  23. when finnished you may or may not do the base config reboot into recover
    1.  (hit [VOLUME-UP] while the phone restarts). 
    2. [SWIPE] to allow modifications
  24. Wipe -> Format Data -> yes
  25. Advances wipe -> Everything but internal sd + USB
  26. install the Wiko Rainbow Cyanog CM 13 ROM
  27. install the (pico in my case) Wiko Rainbow Cyanogen CM13 gApps
  28. reboot
  29. if your nvram is damaged, pick "Chamelephon" and enter your IMEIs
    1. You can find your original IMEIs behind your battery
You are all done and ready to go. Have fun with your shiny new Wiko Rainbow CyanogenMOD 13 Marshmallow 6.0.1 ROM.

      Sorry for beeing late. Removing the old drivers for Wiko the Rainbow and rebooting before and after the installation of the new ones would have been my recommandations.

      Another workaround is to use the PDA-USB-DRIVER-TOOL, deinstall it after it installed it's driver, then proceed with my tutorial.

    ok now it worked. I don't know what fixed this problem but this is what I did.
    I downloaded fresh rom (you mentioned above). Uninstalled all drivers (android drivers from device manager) and re installed all drivers. Then flashed using sp ft. It worked. Thanks a lot! Rom flashed in my device after months.... :D it was turned off for months because it was dead and I was not using it.

    Sorry for answering late. I forgot one essential step with the USB-driver tutorial for the Wiko Rainbow: UNINSTALL ALL DRIVERS BEFORE TRYING THE NEW ONES. :) Also a reboot is needed sometimes. ;) thanks for reminding. I'm experimenting with another Cyanogen CM13.1 ROM for the Wiko Rainbow right now. I might setup a review - IF it's cool.

    @ Nagarjunna Vijayagirii: I think yes. The Rainbow should be a clone to the Micromax A120 device. Most ROMs are developed for the Micromax A120 and only used also by Wiko Rainbow users. :)

    You should go with one of the newer ROMs like:

    http://meandmywiko.blogspot.de/2016/09/wiko-rainbow-ressurection-remix-573-rom.html

    or

    http://meandmywiko.blogspot.de/2016/09/wiko-rainbow-aicp-110-rom-on-xda.html

    or

    http://meandmywiko.blogspot.de/2016/07/wiko-rainbow-xosp-61-rom.html

    I'm for now on the AICO but will check out the new 5.7.3 Ressurection Remix later this day.

Wiko Rainbow - repair / fix invalid IMEI error / bug - super easy

Did you also ran in that annoying "INVALID IMEI" thing while flashing? Okay. There are a lot of guides out there. And all of them (more or less) bring back the IMEI in some way. But for all what I know, it's gone anyway, the next time you install an OS. So why bothering to install Recoveries and such in the first place? This way shows you how to "fix the imei" without. All on your own risk.
