Hi.
My 9300+ (chinese mtk6577) is dead... I have to updated wrong firmware and my phone will don't turn ON again, when I use the SP Flash Tool appears the message: "Firmware Upgrade could not be executed without PMT. Please "Download" ONLY first to create PMT on the target!
My internal partition is corrupted and i can't create PMT because my phone don't Turn On, but my USB is recognized by windows.
Please Help Me.

I know this is an old post, but this may help someone. (would have me a month ago)
Hopefully if your USB is seen in Windows you can convince SP Flash Tool to spew/download/write data to your phone while it's in Meta Mode.
I believe the PMT block is created by SP Flash Tool dynamically from scatter file. It's comparing the scatter file with what is sitting at the PMT address on the flash. If these two mismatch, you get the error you mentioned. If you want to force a new PMT that matches your scatter file's layout, you have to do a "Format" in SP Flash Tool. This will get you back to a PMT on flash that matches your scatter file, then SP Flash Tool will be happy and allow you to use Download (write to flash).
What is a PMT? A partition table that holds the addresses to all the other partitions.

PMT Corrupted & Format-all done
I faced the same error.......my PMT got corrupted (possibly due to an earlier attempt to re-size (system / data) partition using Swiftbootloader)...... & un-fortunately, I clicked on Format in SP Flash Tool as well.
Now all is gone.... phone doesn't switch on.........
Please guide...... to bring the bricked handset (Spice Mi-350n) to life again. I have backups..... but that relate to different scatter file (PMT) perhaps........ do I need to search & learn webos & acmeinstaller kind of things now?

Hi spandrd,
did u manage to resolve this problem. I am also facing this problem after attempting to re-size the partition using meteos mtk6589 rom edit apk .... Although my phone is still working properly without any issue, i am unable to root or install CWM by any means (tried mtk mobileuncle tools, tried spflash tool) but not working. Can you guide me how to root and install cwm as i am unable to revert to my old backup w/o cwm.

The best way to restore your phone was already answered in the previous post, that is to FORMAT your device and subsequently flash the official firmware.

Hi iZLeeP
Thanks for the quick reply. I dont have any official rom. The only backup i have is using the CWM backup of the official rom before applying a custom LG rom. If it is possible, how can i utilize the CWM backup of the official rom to revert back please ? I can see boot.img and recovery.img files in cwm backup; can i utilize them somehow to revert back ? Please help. Thanks.

Let me remind people, the first order of business must be to have a full firmware backup from the phone manufacturer or thru MTK Droid Root & Tools. Reading that you tried to resize your system & data partition, your cwm backup should not be affected by it. Try restoring to default the partition sizes using the app/script you used to resize. It should have that function. Then flash custom recovery and root and see if it works.
phone booting to main-screen or not?
hi HNaseer....
As replied by @syserr & @iZLeeP .............you can try to "Format-All / Format-All except bootloader" type of thing PROVIDED THAT YOU HAVE COMPLETE BACKUP OF RELEVANT PARTITIONS (till Cache and / or till FAT partition length) using SP Flash Tool........ & MTK Droid Tool......... PLUS, YOU WILL NEED IMEI BACKUP (IMEI No.) in such case if you want to restore.
SP Flash Tool needs Scatter File......... (obtainable thru MTK Droid Tool) & can help in backup of various partitions even if phone not turning on. BUT IMEI backup would be good........ IF YOU ARE ABLE TO BOOT / reach main screen after boot animation.
Rest of the details can be first read / understood from my MT6589 chipset type handset link from @Atrvscet : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2514419
Or, better search exact thread on xda / elsewhere to get stock / custom rom & flashing etc.
Lastly, if you are able to boot in recovery, best thing should be to flash / force flash original cwm backup from recovery.

HNaseer.... I agree with everything spandrd just said. I'd like to stress though, getting a backup of your NVRAM partition is much better than having MTKDT copy your /data/nvram. So if you have a choice, backup the NVRAM partition with SPFT or if MTKDT has that option use it. (I've rarely used MTKDT as I found aspects confusing)
Incredible.
Thank you so much. HAd almost given up hope...

Not sure what you are expecting to do with a FORMAT. If you had a good backup of your NVRAM partition, then what you would need is a SCATTER file and ROM files, you could FORMAT then DOWNLOAD the ROM files and your NVRAM file to your device with SPFT. But since you don't have your NVRAM partition, you don't have an easy path. FYI, I don't know new devices... there could be more complication than MT6577/75.

Try google, or search xda, or needrom.com...
This may or may not help you. If I were you I would use SPFT right now to try to backup your NVRAM partition if it's not too late. Your FORMAT may have wiped the NVRAM partition already. If it has wiped it, your only good path is to find someone willing to give you their NVRAM partition. Then somehow insert your own IMEI and WIFI MAC in and pray.

Please can you explain how to use that firmware?
I think it's a recovery firmware for going back to factory defaults when s**t happens.
But I read on some forums that I should backup my IMEI and NVRAM (with MTKDroidTools or something like that...i don't know if there's a specific tool for the Cube T8 Plus) BEFORE trying custom roms, otherwise there will be problems even on restoring stock firmware, right?
Can somebody please make a short-how-to for dummies focalized on this Cube T8 Plus (so poor and confused support on forums yet)?
- Backup before custom rom installation
- Custom rom installation
- Recover to stock firmware
Another question: why that page you linked says "Platform: Mediatek MT6753"
Isn't MT8783?
Thank you very much
my tablet is not bricked now but my serial number and my mac adress is wrong ='(
Use sp tool for save your firmware tablet ( i think).
I have the same problem, after the resizing of partition the tablet is soft bricked and I'm downloading the stock firmware form the above link.
Is there any way to backup the mac address and serial number from softbricked tablet?
...you should have a backup of nvram!

I think it's too late.
I did a backup of nvram with SP Flash Tools BEFORE brick.
When i recovered the tablet after brick, my IMEI was invalid until i flashed my backup of nvram.
Anyone could suggest how and what to backup before trying Root and Resize?
Just backup nvram with sp flash tool

The only unrecoverable partition (for mediatek devices like T8 Plus) is the nvram which contains info about IMEI.
Firmwares/ROMS that we can download from the web never comes with nvram because it's single product related. It's like mac address of wifi cards.
You can find even stock (original) firmwares online, they will bring your tablet back to factory default after a brick.
But if the brick corrupted the nvram, you will NEVER be able to recover it. That means no phone calls and no data connection.
Unless you did a backup of nvram before its corruption.
With SP flash tool you can "read back" from your T8 plus the nvram partition and save it as a file on your pc (file size must be 5MB). Of course you need drivers, SP flash tool and the scatter file. Since i wasn't able to retrieve the scatter file from my T8 plus, I used the scatter included in the stock firmware T8-PLUS_V1.0_20151004.
I am new forum user so I can't post links, but google is enough.
That stock firmware is hosted by baidu, so use browser translation and register an account to get permissions for download.
Remember: in the firmware archive you only need the scatter file! It will tell to SP flash tool where the nvram partition starts and where it ends.
If you will need to restore nvram (e.g. after the unbrick) ,you will have to download to your T8 plus that nvram file with SP flash tool, but before you have to edit the scatter file and set "is_download=true" in the nvram section. Otherwise you will not be able to select nvram in the partitions list from the download tab of SP flash tool.
So the backup will consist in two files:
- nvram file (5MB) (nvram, nvram.img, nvram.bin, extension doesn't matter)
- scatter file with edited "is_download=true" for nvram section
Thanks so much for your help. I think i will be able to backup NVRAM. But im kind of lost on scatter file editing and flash.
Im waiting for Tablet ti arrive

Hi
I have Coolpad E501 EU (other names: Modena, Y76, Sky). It's dual sim, stock android 5.1, rooted, stock recovery.
After last mini update (9,2 MB) coolpad logo is showing and then it goes only to recovery. Phone was rooted using KingRoot app, and then applied update so I bet it was a mistake to do so.
I have second one same Coolpad phone - working, rooted, stock android, stock recovery. So it might help in restoring bricked one.
I searched almost everywhere on the internet looking for stock roms, recovery or something that I can flash.
I tried using YGDP tool with 4.4 official rom that I found but no luck. I get the message "Bootloader is old" in logs.
Tried to do backup with nandroid of working phone but it's making backup for custom recovery (cwm - .tar or twrp - .wim). My phone doesn't have one.
Recovery has an option to apply update from zip. Last update that messed up is here:
ota.coolyun.com/ota/Android/Coolpad%20E501_EU/P0/5.1.222.51.P0.151216.Y76_U00_5.1.222.61.P0.160510.Y76_U00/update_1464055522221.zip
I dont care about data., only working system.
Anyway I appreciate some help how to bite that, any ideas how to revive that phone. I was trying to do a system.img backup of /system partition in working phone, but no luck, partition is in ext4. I thought I can restore that using adb.
I will answer any questions if something I wrote is not clear. I'm not afraid of adb, flashed many phones, so I'm not looking for step by step tutorial, only to someone point me in right direction to solve this problem
Thanks for any help.

I have twrp for this phone, but I cant flash it. Every time I try to send a command in fastboot mode I get the message: "FAILED (remote: unknown command)". How did you flash it? Did your bootloader was unlocked in developer settings? Mine wasn't so I think I'm screwed.

Is yours problems solved? I have soft bricked Coolpad Modena E501_EU and can't find solution.
Searching everywhere on internet, not find nothing about that phone: kernels, drivers, firmwares etc., like "ghost phone". Firmware version 4.4 is for E501-Y76-Sky but not for EU model and cannot be flashed. I need stock 5.1.222.........Y76_U00 and if can someone make backup and upload somewhere he helped me a lot.
