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:

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 !

Anyone have any idea?
Anyone have any ideas?
No one come across this issue?
By chance, are you using a ZTE ZMAX and flashed the switcher zip at some point? If so, you need to flash the restore zip to give TWRP the ability to write to system again.

I'm not using tha zte device. So I don't think I've used such a zip.
I'm running cm12. 1 on a Xiaomi mi4c and I'm trying to restore a nandroid of a miui build. I have done a new nandroid build of cm12. 1 that I can't restore either.
Could running xposed be an issue?
Not sure--someone with experience with Xiaomi phones might know, but I don't. (Reason I thought maybe it was a ZMAX is that to get system write ability with that phone, the bootloader has to be flashed to the recovery partition because something in the bootloader partition locks down the system. We have zip files that swap the two to each other's partition and swap them back, and if we forget to use the restore zip, recovery won't be able to write to system.)
I've downloaded the stock ROM from the acer site, put it on my SD card and went into recovery to apply the update from the sdcard. When trying to update I got the following error:
e: footer is wrong
e: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Now, I've searched everywhere and tried at least 20 different things without anything working. I've unlocked the bootloader and flashed the boot.img which was inside the update file I downloaded from the acer site, I've tried flashing certain files seperatly etc. Another problem is, there is no system.img or recovery.img or any other img file in the stock rom from acer which doesn't allow me to flash it via the fastboot. So either I need to find those img files, or I need a fix for the error above.
Any suggestions?
(One more thing, I really can't try using a custom recovery to disable signature verification because the Liquid Z330 is such an unsupported phone, there is no cwm or twrp recovery for it. I also don't wanna risk trying another phone's cwm or twrp on the Z330 because I don't have the stock recovery.img file in case it doesn't work.)
UPDATE: I found an older version of twrp for the phone and I was able to disable signature verification but when trying to install the zip I get this error log:
Updating partition details...
*in red* E: Unable to mount '/system'
...done
Full SELinux support is present.
MTP Enabled
Installing '/sdcard/update.zip'...
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/update.zip'
Any new suggestions as to what might be the problem?
Update2:
So after Ysfzone posted this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/acer-liquid-z330-unbrick-unlock-t3520952
I was able to restore my acer liquid z330.
I did actually run into some trouble with Ysfzone's instructions, and found a way around it, it should be the second comment on the post.
My only problem now is that the system is restored it's booting into demo mode. When I try to update it downloads the update and reboots into TWRP and when I then reboot to the system it says that the install failed. I think it would automatically install the update with the stock recovery but because I have TWRP installed I have to find the downloaded update file and install it manually.
So I have two options:
Either someone tells me where the update download folder is, or someone provides me with the stock recovery.
Any help?
Exactly same issues
Hey there!
I have the exact same issues. I have been trying to unbrick my phone, but nothing has actually worked. My phone is still stuck on the white screen with the acer logo.
Did you make any progress?
Were you able to find out anything that works??
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

(If you don't want to read the story, read the last sentence.)
I actually was able to get rid of the MD5 check error by creating a MD5 file myself. You basically have to download an application that gets you the MD5 sum. I used this: http://www.fast-files.com/getfile.aspx?file=127067 (just reuploaded it because I forgot where I got it from). Using the exe file in there I generated the MD5 file in this format: d2a862b7c1a8f66b6d1be32f400dc73e *update.zip. After that I tried installing the zip again, this time I got the same error except with the MD5 error missing. After contacting Acer support, I was basically told that I needed to send my info back so I could get contacted for a repair. But since I flashed the recovery it probably wouldn't fall under warranty.
So basically try emailing Acer support and try and get them to repair it. I havent found a way to fix it myself.
One more thing. It wasn't my phone to begin with, I just tried to fix it for someone. That person already has a new phone and I won't be trying anything anymore to fix the phone since I don't have it anymore.
Hello everyone,
I've been in the same situation as you until few hours.
I've also tried a lot of things which doesn't work at all ( like extracting system.img from the Acer update.zip ).
I've seen that every time I tried to install an update.zip package I get the same error:
E: footer is wrong.
E: signature verification failed
And I solved it by unzipping and zipping it again.
Then when I was able to flash it and get my phone back.
if it still doesn't work with the stock recovery, you may try with a custom recovery ( like twrp, you can easily find it on google )
If you have any questions about it, I can try to answer them.
Hope it'll help !

Thanks for the suggestion. Just out of curiousity I guess I'll ask the phone back and try it.
I've tried it again, but the problem isn't because the signature verification fails, its something else. Idk what.
Hello Mounir9912,
Have you try to re-download the file from acer website, or/and to check the zip file with winzip or winrar ?
I've read that you created a md5 file, for my part I just disable md5 verification from TWRP.
It seems like you've got a system mount error, do you still get it if you wipe all partition on your phone (system, cache, data, dalvik cache) ?
Finally, I don't know if it can be useful, but I have a TWRP backup of my z330
I'll stay available if you still have trouble.

You might just be the godsend I needed. I've already tried everything you said including wiping and disabling the verification. Could you upload the twrp backup somewhere? It might be the only thing that can save this phone aside from paying way too much money to acer because of a voided warrantee.

When I downloaded again it cut me off at like 90% because of exceeding the bandwidth quota of 5GB. Now I have to either pay a monthly fee or wait 5 hours...
Hey pixie,
I've actually restored it via twrp, but it still isn't booting past the logo. Could you maybe make a backup of all the partitions except the boot, system and data partitions? The problem is probably in one of those partitions since restoring the boot or system didn't fix it.
more specifically, the ones I could backup are:
Modem, Aboot, pad, modemst1, modemst2, misc, splash, fsg, persist, cache, devinfo, oem

Sorry for my bad english
Now my phone stuck on demo mode.. i want the stock recovery.img
hello,
first sorry for the delay.
As far as i remember, I've checked all when I backup the phone. But all that things you list are not unknown, I've seen them when the phone was still bricked. By the way, I even made a backup at this moment, so if you think that it can be useful..
Ysfzone, have you try to use qfil to get you're stock recovery ?
Hi everyone,
I ran out of ideas with my problem, and could really use some help / advice with this.
Trying to updgrade my STF-L09C432 from B368 to B385 using HuRu updater, something went wrong and now it bootloops after the blue Honor logo.
Fastboot, Huawei eRecovery and TWRP are still working and accessible, my device is bootloader unlocked and says FPR unlock in fastboot mode.
So here's the detailed steps and procedure which I followed:
0) TWRP Backup of System + Data
1) Load three update files (FullOTA) via FF: update.zip (update.zip), update_data_full_public.zip (update_data_full_public.zip), update_full_STF-L09_hw_eu.zip (STF-L09_hw_eu/update_full_STF-L09_hw_eu.zip)
2) Create folder on SD-card with above files and TWRP v0.3 as recovery.img and the HuRu 0.4 zip file. Additionally I've left the HuRu 0.3 in the same folder renamed as HuRUpdater_0.3_old.zip
3) Installed the HuRu 0.4 from TWRP with zip verification disabled (tried before with enabled, but it failed -> call me stupid but I've double checked the checksum with a new download, so I took the risk).
4) the installation log showed warnings about some missing .zip files, but I ignored those as well, as I've never heard of them and didn't have them from FF.
5) rebooted the system and caught the first bootloop
Now I tried myself to fix it the following way, but unsuccessful until now:
1) Flashed TWRP into recovery_ramdisk because I didn't know the right procedure to boot into it
2) Flashed the new B385 versions of KERNEL.img, RAMDISK.img and RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img which I extracted from the UPDATE.APP -> still bootloop
3) Flashed TWRP into recovery_ramdisk again because I still didn't know the right procedure to boot into it
4) Flashed the old B368 versions of KERNEL.img, RAMDISK.img which I extracted from the UPDATE.APP, but not the RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img this time -> still bootloop
5) Then I've managed to boot into TWRP finally, and tried to restore my previous backup as a last resort, but that still didn't resolve my bootloop
Anybody has any idea what I could still try? Maybe I'm missing something obvious, or I'm still to new to this to see what is wrong.
If possible I'd like to keep my data intact, but I could probably extract most of it out of the backup, if nothing else helps.
Thank you very much!
Best regards,
Chris
Nobody has an idea?
Maybe the Seniors on the Honor9, @OldDroid or @zxz0O0?
After I've tried to restore the previous TWRP backup, now also TWRP won't boot anymore, therefore I'm stuck with fastboot or the Huawei stock recoveries...

well, aslong as its still unlocked (frp & bl) i'm able to help.
Do you have telegram? if so, send me your username through pm.

I managed to get into TWRP again when I've installed the latest kernel and recovery images. After that I've realized that I still had Magisk installed and Active.
Uninstalling that solved my bootloop for now.
Unfortunately my backup restore just returned me to the previous version B368 which I already had installed... so lets see what happens if I apply the update again
---------------------
Edit:
Update applied, without magisk installed, still bootloop... At least the way back was quicker this time
Any hints what's going wrong are appreciated!
