= plz help me
DR_MOOSAVI;33902832]What's needed:

  • USB data cable
  • MediaTek USB VCOM drivers
  • SP Flash Tool ( Latest version SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1224.01)


  • First of all, make sure that you have MediaTek DA USB VCOM drivers installed.

Flashing the whole ROM
  • First of all open SP Flash Tool, then click Scatter-loading button to load the correct scatter file
    (MT6575_Android_scatter_emmc.txt or MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt, depending on which phone you have) for your device and ignore any message that may appear.


  • Turn off your phone, remove the battery and replace it after some seconds (and don't turn on the phone).
  • Press F9 (or hit Download button) and connect your phone into the computer via USB data cable.
    The process will start and a red progress bar will appear.





  • After the red progress bar is complete, there will appear a purple progress bar.


  • Right after the purple progress bar is complete, a message will appear underneath it:
    Please insert USB cable in x seconds” and then the download will start right away (you will see the yellow progress bar filling up).



  • When the yellow bar is complete, you'll get a popup with a green circle and Download OK message,
    which means that the process has been successfully terminated.



  • You can now safely disconnect your phone and turn it on. The process ends here.
Flashing only part of the ROM
  • In case you want to flash just one part of the ROM, that is also possible. In the shown example, only recovery image will be flashed.
    Deselect all parts except the one(s) you want to flash and then press F9 (or hit Download button).


  • The tool will immediately show a warning because not all parts are selected, but you should continue anyway. Safely press Yes to continue.



  • The download of the chosen partition image will start and after the yellow bar is complete, the popup with the green circle should appear.





  • Please note that, even though it isn't mandatory to select it on the list of images to flash,
    preloader file must be present in the same folder as the other partition(s) that you want to flash, or else phone will not be able to enter into download mode.

Attention: Please follow the instructions carefully. I will not take any responsibility on whatever may happen with your phone.

Very important warning: Always make sure that you trust the sources of the ROM you download and know that it is meant for your phone.
After flashing a wrong preloader, your phone will be completely dead (can't be powered on, it will not charge and won't be detected anymore by the computer) and there is no way to recover it.

Hi,
Is there a way to wipe data partition with this tool ?
After installing an application, my phone (the No.1 S6) hangs on the Android loading screen. It connects to the WiFi and check my mails because It vibrates when I receive one.
There is no complete ROM I can flash nor recovery image for my phone. (it's new)
So is there like a blank .img I can to flash to factory reset my phone ?
Thanks.

Edit: I solved my problem by factory resetting my phone in the recovery menu, so I don't need help anymore.

Green Android Bot during Bootup

So, I have a MT6577 device and I rooted it and managed to make a complete backup of the device using the MTKDroid tools. I then reflashed the original custom firmware using SP flash tools. and it worked like a charm. I then proceeded to put the custom ROM in, and managed to put it and boot successfully. I tried all the reflashing and flashing a couple of more times to be sure everything worked.

I then started tinkering with the device and selected wipe cache from the custom recovery (CWM) option. The device now starts up shows the iball logo (its an iball slide) and then shows a green android with its belly open (doing some processing). Nothing happens next. It just sorta hangs there with the processing still happening.

I have managed to reflash the originial firmware a couple of times, the custom recovery, original recovery. But nothing works, the same thing happens. Any solutions ?

thanks..

Newbie struggling to flash official Rom on my Lenovo a820 mtk6589 here. Device wouldn't boot for me with 'dl' error message, after a failure with cwm. Anyway, I'm getting a green 'ok' circle for flashing smaller files, but booting, recovery, system just won't flash. Tried various Roms, each with their own scatter file, but no success. Sp Flashtool sees the device and I get the red line to 100, but no purple or yellow for these files. It will sit there counting away and the files don't flash.

What am I missing please? Device won't boot so I don't think I can use MTK root and tools. I have also used the 'format all' option after following one guide.

I have three drivers installed: mtk preloader, Lenovo DA, and MTK USB.
Any help would be appreciated.

    - Mediatek USB/ADB driver

    To use Flashtool you should have installer Mediatek USB preloader driver.

    There are two types of USB driver for Mediatek devices.

    - ADB USB driver for device working and switched on.
    - Preloader USB driver to flash the device that is switched off.

    To use Flashtool, in the PC should be already installed the USB Mediatek Preloader driver.
    This the latest version of Mediatek driver.
    This is the all-in.one driver (include both USB ADB & preloader driver).
    Is not required to disable driver sign in Windows.
    The driver is compatible with all 32/64bit Windows OS's (from Windows XP to Windows 10).

    USB driver Mediatek (ADB/preloader) v. 5.1632 - Auto installer

    How to install the USB ADB/Preloader driver

    - Disconnect the device from the PC.
    - Download and decompress the archive.
    - Run the exe installer file (decompressed from archive) as administrator (right click -> Run as administrator).
    - Follow the instruction on video and wait the end of installation
    - At the end of installation close the installer and reboot the PC.
    - Now the drivers are available for flash.


    - Flashtool version

    The new version 5.xx include the support of new 64bit Mediatek CPU (MT67xx - ex. MT6732/MT6752/etc)
    The new version 5.xx are also compatible with 32bit Mediatek CPU (MT65xx - ex. MT6582/6589/6592) and new 64bit Mediatek CPU (MT67xx - es. MT6732/MT67527etc).

    - "PMT Changed" error

    If you get an error like "PMT Changed" (it means that partition scheme of current ROM and new ROM are different) and are you sure that the ROM is specific for your device you can use a special version of Flashtool 3.xx that bypass this error.

    SP Flash Toolv. 3.1313 mod


    - Direct Memory Write

    To bypass a "PMT changed" error (it means that the partition scheme described in the scatter of the new ROM is different than the ROM installed) there are two ways

    - If you have to flash the whole flash you can select in Flashtool the FIRWARE UPGRADE mode.
    - If you have to flash single module/partition you can use Direct Memory Write

    OKay, I can understand better, thanks.
    Seems that my phone is dead, I try to get into Factory Test, but it only turns ON in a blank white screen blnking, so it maight be is the Main board that its damaged.

    Thanks However :)
    There are two ways to get around the PMT error. First way is to use an earlier version of the SP Flash Tool. Like version 3. But this does not always solve the problem.

    The second way is to use the hidden Write Memory tab (hit the Ctrl-Alt-V combination on the keyboard to enter Advanced Mode, then select the Window > Write Memory option from the drop down menu. The Write Memory tab will then appear). Use the Write Memory tab to flash the images directly to the partition you wish starting from the memory address you specify. So if you had made a full ROM backup before you bricked your device (most people unfortunately fail to take this simple precaution), you would simply flash that ROM file starting at address 0x0.

    You can find the correct starting addresses for each partition either on the download tab or by looking at the starting linear address in the scatter.txt file. For a softbrick, you might simply want to successively flash the boot.img, the recovery.img and the system.img to their appropriate partitions using the Write Memory tab.

    When you use the Write Memory tab to flash, you must turn the phone off BUT leave the battery INSIDE the phone then connect the USB cable.

    The Write Memory feature will only work if you identify the Preloader.bin file on the Download tab (so you must check the Preloader box on the Download tab). BUT DO NOT CHECK THE PRELOADER BOX IF YOU ARE GOING TO USE THE DOWNLOAD TAB TO FLASH THE DEVICE. ONLY CHECK THAT BOX IF YOU ARE GOING TO USE THE WRITE MEMORY TAB TO FLASH.

    If you don't have the preloader.bin file, simply use the Read Back tab to dump it from the phone.

    Finally, be absolutely sure you have the correct ROM for your phone. If the ROM is not the correct one for your device and you flash the wrong boot, recovery or system images to the phone, it will not boot. It will remain or become bricked. The fact that a ROM is for the same MTK chipset as your phone does NOT mean it's the correct ROM for your phone!
