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.

Blu Studio Energy 2 -Backup file- firmware Please
Hey all.
Easy question I hope! I've been following the guide to unbrick MTK devices, and have managed to get an original factory ROM to flash to the phone, green tick in SP Flash Tools. However, the phone still won't power on at all, save for the light if plugged into usb.
The ROM I've been using is an original factory rom named "ONE-TOUCH-4015X_POP_C1_FULL_STOCK_BACKUP" which is readily available online. I'm not sure what I did to brick it in the first place, but it was within SP flashtool. I May have formatted accidentally.
If someone coudl help I'll try to provide all logs or files requested but please tell me where these could be found as I'm not that good with flash tool.
To confirm the phone won't boot into any mode, recovery is dead, fastboot is dead....
same problem hope somone help us
also share ur backup please

no work this version. yes 4015 but no 4015x
Sorry I should have put my phone is a 4015X not 4015. The application does say 4015 which I selected and all went well.
my 4015x no update, it not load, only work flash mode connected to pc and no work mobile upgrade.
4015X Partitions
the 4015x has a different set of partitions to the older (dual sim) 4015
i have a modded rom (kitkat), a modded stock recovery (as stock is also wrong, wont mount data) and a modded cwmrecovery.
i will be posting these soon
i will create a new post for the 4015x version
and will also be asking for other versions of the 4015 users to post me there partition trees and i will repack some recoverys and some roms for you all
note: there are 6 versions that i have seen and they may all have diff tables
hope these will help the pop c1 community

Hello!
This thread is quite old but near my case.
I have an Alcatel Pop C1 4015X (cpu MTK6572M) that can't start at all (only the power LED is ON).
I have a backup of this device made with "SP Flash Tool V5.1532.00" but I've error "not enough space" when
I try to restore it.
Same error when I try to restore just one file.
For example, I've tried to restore only the "Stock Recovery" you give above.
I do this:
- I start Flash_Tool v5.1532.00
- I open scatter file from my backup done with the same tool
- I unselect all pieces of the backup except "Recovery" and I browse to the "Stock Recovery" file I've dl
from this thread.
I've got this error : "not enough storage space (1011)"
What could be the problem ?
I makes me totally crazy !
By advance, thanks for your help.
Regards,
Freeman.

What i did was i used SPFT to flash a backup i found online. Can't post links, just google "ot 4015X Original SPFT ROM", what i used was the algerian rom. Then i flashed the EE stock rom. My own backup didn't flash back correctly either, that's why i used that one i fould online.
4015X unbricked !
Hello,
I found a similar solution here (replace * with . to get a correct http link):
forum*gsmhosting*com/vbb/f317/ot-4015x-firmware-arabic-bulgaria-africa-kenya-1946694/index2.html
It took me hours to find good stock ROMs (bulgarian & arabian then french via OTU) !
You'll have to "play" with pro_info and scatter file...
Good luck to all to unbrick your 4015x !

how to partition system storage space of onetouch pop c1?
hi
so i have a Lenovo K8 plus 3 GB ram variant. Let me explain what happened first.
I unlocked my device's bootloader to flash the patched boot image for magisk root, then this orange state sign started showing up eerytime i booted up. then when the latest update rolled out in march, i decided to relock the bootloader and then update my device. did it and then a red state sign showing up accompanied by bootloop (it said something like rollback kernel too). so I formatted the whole thing via sp flash tool and downloaded the stock rom.
now when i try to flash it, preloader flashes FINE, recovery flashes FINE, but when it comes to md1img it shows this error: STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER (0xC0010007). I tried flashing all the files individually to find the cause of the problem and see exactly which particular flash file was causing the problem. results are as follows.
[STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER (0xC0010007) ]- this error was displayed while flashing these files - md1img, md1dsp, md1arm7, md3img.
[ STATUS_SEC_IMG_TOO_LARGE (0xC0020005)] - only popped up while flashing the oem image.
when I exclude these files from the queue, the rest files flash fine.
In short, I have a bricked phone which i am unable to flash via sp flash tool.
Thanks in advance

How to Unbrick Lenovo K8 Plus 4GB
Hi All
I tried many stock roms and many versions of SP flash tool but none helped me to unbrick my lenovo k8 plus (4gb ram).
I was trying to downgrade it to Naugat from Oreo but it shows same error every time.
Error is (SP Flash tool version latest 5.18)
" Error_Status_Sec_Insufficient_Buffer( 0xC002004B)
[Hint]:
Verified boot is enabled.
Please download signed image (md1img-verified.img) or disable verified boot."
Plzzz help same problem
Enabled verified boot ...how to disabled
Same problem my lenovo k8plus
Enabled verified boot ...how to disabled
You need to use "Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant" instead of SPFlash tool to flash and you will be good to go. You can get the tool from the Lenovo official website.

Try with Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant. I too have bricked my phone... but I've successfully started my phone using this tool. you will get official signed ROM from here.
you can use LMSA tool to rescue,90% sucessfully ,don't use splashtool beacause it's many error if you choose wrong version
Had the same problem. Can confirm Lenovo's tool sucessfully recovers ohone from bricked state. A lifesaver!
Downloaded from https://lenovomobilesupport.lenovo.com/br/pt/downloads/ds101291-rescue-and-smart-assistant-lmsa
then updated to version 5.9.2.4 from inside the app itself
guys i think i got a real problem here.
First of all i apologize for my english and thank you in advance
i was trying to flash magisk on my with twrp rooted device (samsung galaxy neo, G903F) and since i had some problems i thought i could try it on a fresh system again.
so i just wanted to flash a stock image from updato (i am kinda sure it is the right version).suddenly odin says the progress failed and after a few minutes waiting i disconnected and took out the battery.
when i wanted to start it, i got "error occurred while updating software. use emergency recovery function in smart smitch PC software"
after watching a short video i tried this smartswitch-thing, but its just telling me my device isnt supportet.
the problem is that my phone was rooted while i tried to flash the stock image right? so smartswitch wont work for me? what do you advice? only thing i can do is download modus.
help pleease

You should never remove the battery of your phone when an update failed , you just corrupted your system.
What you have to do now is enter in bootloader mode , plug you phone to your PC , and flash the stock system.img and boot.img.
Search how to do that on your device , watch videos and guide on XDA , then do this.
Remember to always make a backup of your system before doing that.
TY for the fast answer!
do you mean the recovery mode(home + power + vol.up)? i cant enter anything except of the downloadmode (home+power+vol.down). I extracted the boot.img and system.img from the tar.md5 file with 7zip and coverted it to .tar, can i flash that per Odin the same way i tried to flash the whole firmware? and if yes, in which order should i do it or sould i convert boot.img and system.img to one single .tar file? sry i googled more than an hour but didnt find instructions to do this. just the extracting and converting part and thousands of how to flash whole firmwares or fixes via smartswitch-.-

I'm not an Odin expert at all , but I think you should use the .IMG file , starting with the system.img , and after the boot.img
But I'm not sure at all , take another hour to make searches.
I have a bricked Hisense A5 (Qualcomm, China) device which stays in a bootloop and I don't know how I can unbrick it.
Facts are:
Device: Hisense A5 (HLTE202N)
Firmware: Stock L1657 6.03.02.00 / Kernel 4.9.112
- I could flash in edl mode successful a stock firmware, but nothing changed after a reboot
- Device stays with "Hisense and powered by Android screen".
- The bootloader can't be unlocked
- teardown device and disabled battery for some minutes and tried to charge it with a wall charger -> bootloop
What I can (like before flashing in edl-mode):
- Entering edl-mode with a xiaomi edl-cable (Qualcomm HS-USB 9008er mode and diagnostic mode 900E after flashing)
- entering fastboot (pressing volume up while rebooting and connecting pc)
What I can't:
-flashing TF-Mode (Firmware on microSD)
-rebooting to system
-shutdown
-recharging wall charger (bootloop)
-not detected as usb-drive for filetransfer
This bootloop mode you can read quite often. The Xiaomi guys can fix this by flashing a fastboot Firmware, but they have an unlocked bootloader
Anybody knows a solution or what I can try to fix this?

Have you already considered trying to use the 6.09.06.00 ROM available via forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82583733&postcount=28 ?

Yes, sorry forgot that to mentioned. Good point. That was the first I tried with some other guys in the thread but it doesn't work at all. Tried different microSD and formatting.
Well if the TF Mode not working with 6.0.9 and you have 6.0.3 which is already rooted logic say to try not with 6.0.9 but with 6.0.4 update or better with 6.0.3 but original i.e not rooted. I think something in 6.0.3 is not compatiblle with something in 6.0.9. Simply as that. I remember I say guy in thread for Hisense A5 root which had all update files and WeChat group?
I think you have damaged the recovery or vbmeta partition. You can try to flash back the original boot, recovery and vbmeta partition of 6.03.02. I think this will unbrick your phone. I have uploaded these files to Google Drive. You can try to flash back these files to see if this can save your phone. These files are the original partitions from version 6.03.02. If you still fail, then you may need to flash back system.img or vendor.img, these files are huge. You can ask me later if you still fail.

Great, these files are working flawless in qfil. Could recover the system and then update in Tf-Mode to actual 6.09
These are the original boot, recovery and vbmeta image from 6.09.06.

I'm sorry for asking what is probably a silly question, but how exactly do you flash files like boot.img using Qfil ?
I can get into fastboot., but not edl mode.
I know old thread, but am having problems with a bricked A5. After a lot of trial and error, it sometimes gets into Fastboot mode. I can then ask for fastboot device and it responds with a hex number and fastboot.
When I try to flashall new partitions, it fails with:
fastboot: error: ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT not set or non allowed.
Once I could flash individual partition with:
fastboot flash boot boot_recovery_vbmeta_6.03.02/boot.img
Sending 'boot' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 2.113s]
Writing 'boot'
But then it just sits there and nothing seems to happen.
Anyone has suggestions on what to try, am running out of ideas
.
It would be amazing if anyone could share:
- Stock ROM 6.12 full QFIL backup.
- EFS/QCN backup files.
Thanks
