I also have the same problem on Star B92M on the SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1224.1 and the SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1224.0.sn85 versions even when running them as administrator. I still get the 3013 and the 8038 errors, is like it doesnt stay connected in usb as preloader long enough (even when i have installed the right drivers)... Is there any way to flash via manual fastboot? By running commands on cmd?

Thank you in advance for the answer.

Hello, I want to flash a ROM, but not fully, because I'm not 100% sure it's for my phone (it's impossible to know its brand...), so, which parts of the ROM do I need to check before clicking download? I was thinking to flash: BOOTIMG (boot.img), ANDROID (system.img), CACHE (cache.img), USRDATA (userdata.img).

Is there any other I must flash? like recovery, uboot, mbr...
Thank you all

I have seen elsewhere that the "DA DL all with checsum" should be chosen, unless it will brick the phone.
On screenshots here, no "DA DL" is checked.
What is correct ?

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.

HELP!!

Hello,

I flashed the rom using this tutorial. Everything went right. The only problem is: I now have a black screen. You can hear the bootsound so it does boot. But I can't see a thing! On the neededrom site, I can download a fix. But it says: "unsupported_version_of_DA". I hope someone can help me! Because the phone is dead now.

SP flash tool error

Hi!

So i have a small problem with flashing back the old system to my phone. It is an umi x1s.
I used a custom updte.zip from cwm. It worked as i expected but now i want to get back to stock rom. The only problem that i forgot to make a backup with cwm.

BUT:
I created a full backup of the original stock rom with mtk droid tools, and than make it ready for sp flash tool. So the rom is 100% compatible with my phone.
When i try to flash only the system part right after the red bar i got an error 8038. Any idea what could be the problem?

Thx for the help!

I basicly had the same problem. You could tru to change SP Flash tool version. I used V3.13 in stead of V3.12. I also tried higher versions but none of them worked.

I've read some tutorials and ones suggest click "download" and others "Firmware update", what's the difference?

I tried both. Firmware update came with a lot of strange messages. Download works perfect. As long as you have a nice stock rom it's almost impossible to brick it. When you don't have any sign of life after a flash. Just push an other rom with the Flashtool and it works fine again.

For my X920e I found 9 roms. Tried 8 and 5 gave a blank screen.

Hi, when I try to use the flashtool
I always get the 8038 error.
When I load the scatter file only a certain number of boxes in the list are ticked
and associated with files in the rom folder.
Should I tick all the boxes and select the rom files?
I don't want to get this wrong, but I'm stuck at this error.

    Any other issues not related about Flashtool and its use should be posted in other specific thread.

    Please DON'T discuss here about specific device issues like

    Mediatek - Flash Tool - Info (mtk2000.ucoz.ru)


    - 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).

    Flashtool v. 5.x fixed a critical bug about SP Flash Tool 3.x where the SP Flashtool reads incorrectly the scatter file of some new mobile based on MTK6582 (error: recovery partition is not flashable).

    - Windows version

    Latest version - 5.1916

    - "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

    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!
