Hi!
I have here some MTK6572 phones that I want to flash, but I'm getting this BROM ERROR (please look at picture). Phones are new and there are Samsung Galaxy s4 copies 1:1.
First I have root them, after that I have read flash with MTKDroidTools, then make !Files_to_FlashTool. Now problems began.
I load scatter file from !Files_to_FlashTool folder and untick preloader and mbr and have some errors I think 8038. I repaire that with editing scatter file but after that I'm getting BROM ERROR: S_NOT_ENOUGH_STORAGE_SPACE (1011)!!!
I have try to flash original flash files(readed from phone), I have try to flash files from same other phone, I have try to flash one file by one (EBR than UBOOT than BOOTIMG...) but always this BROM ERROR.
Now who can help me understand this BROM ERROR? I have read tons of posts on the net but nobody have solution for this kind of error or they don't want to tell.
In attachment is picture of error and SP flash log folder (with BROM log). I'm here for all kind of testing so please if someone have more experience with this kind of error help here.
Thanks in advance
Best regards
P.S. I have space in my pc and in phone that I'm trying to flash so why is this error keep coming I don't understand. Maybe it is problem in scatter file addresses but I'm not sure. I know how to flash Chinese phones this is not my first time or something like that.

Hi have bricked my THL 4000 with an update.
I try now to unbrick my phone.
I have installed the driver on my pc but i can't use the SP flash tool :/
SP flash tool say: " Error: Initialize scatter file failed. Please check the scatter file name you load is legal "
I don't understand why it say it... I use the original scatter file from needrom.com
I have tryed a lot of version of SP flash tool and also other scatter file but i have always the seam error :/
PLZZZZZ HELLLLPPPPP
I can't flash anything using recovery mode because it say : "Invalid OTA package, missing scatter"
I don't know what i can do for unbrick my phone: I have an error if I use SP flash tool and also if I use recovery mode.
Help me for unbrick my phone

Some one are trying to help me here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/how-unbrick-chinese-phone-t3116406#post60956102
These thread can help you if you have my problem. (unsolved problem :/ but try to follow the instructions on the link... it can help you to solve your problem )
Hello,
I've bricked my Mediatek 6589 (UMI X1S) and I've trying to recover it for the last few days, unsuccessfully. I was experiencing several system freezes, so I decided to boot CWM and format everything (system, data, emmc). When I tried to download a stock rom, SPFT detected the device as 'Mediatek Preloader USB VCOM Port', but failed after 'DL 100%'. I've tried different SPFT versions, on Windows 10 and 7, tried Download, Format, Firmware Upgrade, nothing works. I've also tried to find the 'test point' for my phone, but had no luck. Depending on the SPFT version, I get different error messages.
On SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1244.0.sn85:
Sp flash tool error (8200)
(Platform error) the load and target are inconsistent
On SP-Flash-Tool-v5.1528.00:
PMT changed for the ROM; it must be downloaded.
Even though I'm unable to download anything, I'm able to Read from the device, so I hope it's not totally bricked! I downloaded the first 128kb, and confirmed that the preloader is the same as the file from stock rom. It just doesn't start at 0x0 as the scatter file says, but at 0x800 (see hex screenshots). Is this normal?
It seems as if SPFT is doing some check (maybe that PMT), and refuses to download the files. The scatter file doesn't mention any PMT. Is it possible to download it from another working phone?
I should mention, that I had changed the partition layout a few months back (using meteos-mtk6589-rom-edit-optimized_for_4gb-en.apk), to get a larger data partition. I don't know if it's related to that PMT error...
I would appreciate if someone more experienced in these matters could give me a hint on what to try next. I'm also attaching SPFT logs.
Thanks
Format error and catter file in attachment.
hi friends i am new at this forum and need some help, before this, I usually figured everything out by reading others thread or googling. But now I need your help guys. I recently try to flash my i ball cobalt 4 with the stock rom of the same version [downloaded from needrom.com],But I probably did a mistake and I was messing up with bootloader. The result is that my phone wont even start. No bootloop, no recovery, nothing. Display and everything else remains dead.
At least is phone still detected by computer when I connect it as mtk usb port[it is on META mode now i think]
Also in Smart Phone Flash Tools phone is still visible.
But when I try to flash or format anything it gives me this error message:
It says:
"BROM ERROR: S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032)
[EMI] Enable DRAM Failed!
[HINT]: Please check your load matches to your target which is to be downloaded"
I already tried different versions of SPFT and also stock cobalt 4's ROM's from diferrent sources.cleaned mtk deivers many times by using usbdeview according to tutorial. but sadly did not get any success.
My OS is Windows 7x64.
Please guys, this is the first time I'm asking for a help, because I am really desperate and I don't know what else try to make my phone flashable and working again. I googled, searched lot of topics, everything what I was capable to think about. I would be super gratefull for help.
THX guys for your suggestions and help!!!
BTW: I heard some phones can be turned to some kind of "service" bootloader mode with connecting two contacts on main board of phone. Do you know if iball cobalt 4 have this function?
one more thing is that when i selected scatter file first time in spft it gave me an error invalid scatter file so i had to delete scatter file's first line[ie birdtoolminver3.4].so is the scatter file is problem of mentioned error.
I have a problem with my Paris X device. I had an unofficial rom and I wanted to flash the official one. When I started the flashing process with SP flash tool I got this message: "BROM ERROR: S_INVALID_BBCHIP_TYPE (0x3EB)"
Since that my phone is like dead. I cant switch on, I cant either flash again because my driver disappears in 2 seconds and I got the same error everytime.
Please help me, I would really appreciate it. :fingers-crossed:

Check the scatter, make sure that the line, i.e. matches the device chip type:
platform: MT6735M < -- is this correct?

I think this is scatter file mismatch, because I have done a proper read back of Inew L4 mt6735 to flash it to another phone with exact same model and build. But that flash file is not even working to flash that phone from which I made it giving this same error.
ERROR: S_INVALID_BBCHIP_TYPE (1003)
Still working on it.
[Update]
Only a single "m" in MT6735M in scatter file was missing, now its working all fine. :fingers-crossed:
I searched the whole internet for years to solve this error...
So if your getting this error better check your scatter platform names etc.....bcz even if you get it from readback or official flash files, like in my case it can give you error.
If you're getting this same error every time so try the above advice and here is a tip for early disconnection, connect while holding volume button or open yiu device and find kcolo[\B] and short it with GND.(better find details from google bcz i am too funding it)
Hello guys! I have a problem with one phone that i am trying to fix for someone and I feel sooo, sooo completely lost in all of this as I know almost nothing about this. The cell phone model that is in question is Alcatel One Touch Pop C3-4033x.
It seems to be using a Mediatek chipset and I was reading some of your advices here & there and tried using the program called SP FlashTools but it always resulted in error, in the end. It seems that something is wrong with this phones emmc flash memory. So, I tried transfering some files as a zip files to the SD-card and tried to apply update from it, but it said always: Installation aborted. And then, I have tried looking for a way to flash stock firmware of that specific Alcatel model on SD-card, but I just don't have any clue how to do it, if it is possible, even. Maybe I should just give up trying?
Oh, I almost forgot to write that the phone doesn't have the access to Android OS and USB debugging isn't turned on, because computer doesn't seem to list it and I don't know if there any button combinations that Alcatel uses for this model to get into that fastboot or adb mode, even though have installed mediatek drivers. It can only get into Android System Recovery 3e. That seems to be everything, I think, at least.
Oh guys, I am so, so, so sorry if I am bothering you with this. I just didn't know what or where else to ask this. Thank you sooo much!
Hi download those files:
Firmware:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/bpm4ibsbmr4q6nc/OT-4033X-Without_Mobilis_logo__BY_GSMSERVE.rar/file
SP Flash tool:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603870440
Driver:
https://mega.nz/#!8VYkQCxD!fkhTrZwFFILDAglO1cR_8pIM4Cel52brZ7RB6QZoc6o
Once you downloaded all right driver open SP flash tool and add Scatter file
MT6572_Android_scatter.txt
Click on Download , connect your phone without battery and see if the process is going on if not try again with battery inside.
If you end up with error do the same thing but now first do Format then after is Finish do Download. Good luck ...
It still displays error :/

This is the error it displays when i tried with the download button: BROM ERROR: S_DA_SDMMC_WRITE_FAILED (3149)
And this is the same error it displayed when i tried using the Format function: S_DA_SDMMC_WRITE_FAILED (3149)
