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.

THANK YOU! :highfive::highfive::highfive::highfive::highfive::highfive:
LOVE YOU MAN
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.

I auto-reply me xD
I was trying adb&fastboot methods
1. Bootloader unlock (fastboot oem unlock) ---> this works and bootloader was unlocked
2. Flash recovery from other phones with the same SOC (Mediatek MT6580A) ---> i still with stock recovery, nothing happens. I tried fastboot boot recovery.img and fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Any suggestion is welcome
install magisk manager to your phone, download firmware and extract boot.img from it.
patch boot.img with magisk manager, the new patched_boot.img has to be flashed to the phone with sp flash tools in "download mode".
Mine is rooted with this method, but I didn't manage to build twrp for this device.
HI , I have a question about this phone ,
its have led indicator ?
if You miss a call , msg , email etc... led is blinking ?

This answer have 2 solutions
1 st solution - using SP flash tool
download android oreo, ANE-L01C432B144 – 8.0.0.144 – Europe
https://www.getdroidtips.com/huawei-p20-lite-b144-oreo-update/
flash stock ROM via SP flash tool
https://flashingguide.com/huawei/how-to-flash-huawei-p20-lite/
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 nd solution - using fastboot (adb, terminal, manual, harder, but less likely can go wrong if you follow steps)
https://unofficialtwrp.com/huawei-p20-lite-root-twrp/
just skip step of rooting.
but you need unlocked bootloader:
https://unofficialtwrp.com/how-to-unlock-bootloader-on-huawei-phone-2019-working/
when you flash twrp you need to flash stock ROM via TWRP recovery
download android oreo, ANE-L01C432B144 – 8.0.0.144 – Europe
https://www.getdroidtips.com/huawei-p20-lite-b144-oreo-update/
open TWRP recovery and transfer downloaded stock ROM in phone and flash via TWRP
https://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-install-a-custom-rom-using-twrp-recovery/
and it should do just fine
--------------------
sorry if answer look too hard to understand, just follow instructions on links and my answer how to do it, and it will work

Formated Realme 6's flash except for bootloader using SP Flash Tool. Now it's bricked

Hey people, so I wanted to unbrick my phone by formating the data so I went all smarty pants and used SP Flash Tool and formated the whole flash except for the bootloader. Now I get an error message when I boot saying "Download not completed!" with the error code 0x99256658 after I flashed the whole stock rom (B.53). Did SP Flash Tool get rid of something extra? Or is the rom maybe missing something? Can anyone please help me unbrick it? That would be very nice. Thanks for reading
I found a solution. I need an oppo_custom.img for the realme 6. Can someone tell me where I can get it please?
EDIT: Nevermind I found it in the ROM files and I flashed it but I'm still getting the same error. Anyone any idea?
EDIT2: Somehow flashing OPPO F9's oppo_custom.img gets me to recovery but it doesn't load the OS
