I,m not able to boot recovery because i format all and i have just one button on the watch, its power . i think you are right for bootloader secure because manufacturer secure a lot of thing, for activate usb debug, tape 7 time on build number make nothing, i had to edit build prop and persist.sys.usb.config file to activate, i was angry but the new one boot. my backup with spft is 350mo with miracle box 540 mo but not last version so not possible to read preloader and write on the watch, i think i have 512 mb memory with 30 mb for sd card and the other for system, so 540mo is good, no? maybe spft is able to read in future or it cant now normally? thx for your interest, its very nice.

Now the watch is for my daughter, and i want to delete all song bootanimation, shutdown, lockscreen and batery low for not to derange in class, i hope if i delete or rename in .bak my new watch boot.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] CVAngelo:
Ok. Maybe I misunderstood you. I thought you said that you did "format all" but then you were able to flash the ROM_0 successfully, after which it did not boot. If you were indeed able to flash the stock ROM (according to SPFT), but yet it did not boot, nor could you boot into recovery, it suggests there may be manufacturer restrictions on the partitions (i.e., they are locked to prevent alterations). You should research this on the manufacturer's website and generally on Google.

Finally, you should never erase system files...even if you don't think you need them. Just rename them, as you suggested. Later on, if you ever need them, you can rename them back to what they were.

There's always a risk in unlocking a bootloader. It could brick the device. But since you have two of them...why not try and see what happens?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bretzelpopo:
I speaking about unlocking the new one, maybe it can read better without lock.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] CVAngelo:
Don't do that unless you have a full backup of the ROM which you either make yourself OR obtain from another source. If you brick it, you'll have to buy a third watch.

Manually Format the booloader for "PTM changed" problem

The problem is that spflash tools says:

"PTM changed for the ROM: It must be downloaded."

The solutions are, download the preloader.bin (not work for me), and format all + download....

but I want not format /system either /data .....

I've try do manually format (except bootloader, system and data) but the problem is not solved .... Can some one help me?

I have a Importart question

What happen If I manually format the Bootloader of my mt6582, If I do manually for example (it's for my phone), erases from (0x0000000000000000 to 0x0000000000c00000) >> (bootloader to begin of mbr).... Then I would like download the preloader.bin with spflash tool.

Hi

I have a Mtk 7599 phone and when I connect it to the pc, it is recognized as My HTC under Android USB Devices

Can I flash this phone without USB vcom driver ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] thegithegi:
Failure to begin download

The phone wont begin to download. The mediaTek drivers are installed properly and when I connect the phone without a battery it confirms the fact. I'm only partially installing things and these are the boot image, recovery image and the system image. The scatter file is in a separate folder with the others like the preloader and uboot files being in one folder. Still, the download wont begin. HELLP?!

HELP!!!! Keep getting device not started

Hello, this thread is my last hope!! I purchased a ISA A19 (MTK6577). Its a nice phone, but for some reason one of the times it rebooted, it staid stuck on the initial white screen with "ISA" on it. My computer will recognize it, but every I try to install the USB VCOM drivers (in the driver folder it says XP_COM) it says couldn't start the device. Its selecting a COM port and everything, but this is the only thing keeping me from fixing my phone. I've read this entire thread, and I notice others have posted the same thing, but never got an answer. Please I am begging you, is there a different VCOM usb driver that I'm not seeing? Is there a hardware issue with the phone? Is there another way of doing this?( By the way, this is the most RETARD way of flashing, what the hell was MTK thinking!!) Please I beg you. Please post updated driver if there is one, or let me know if here is an internal button I can push or something. Thanks in advance. Eagerly waiting for your response.

Spflasher rom recover

Thanks MOOSAVI for the wonderful tutorial which is more detailed than the one i saw previously on XDA,.

I have a question!

So in the tutorial, a file named "ROM_0...." is created...which i believe is the back up of the entire ROM. Can you please explain in steps how to re-install this file using sp flasher or MTK root tools...

To give u a scenario,

I happened to install the XPOSED framework but i dont see much of the improvements with it.. I want to revert back to the original rom which is (unfortunately) stored via SP FLASH TOOL at the time i installed CWM on my MT6577 note 2 clone. Please assist. I am also little nooby but can follow instructions well!.

Do NOT format the bootloader. YOU WILL HARD BRICK THE PHONE. Don't do it! It just amazes me that no matter how many times we say this, people still want to try it. Many do it by accident. But you will always regret it. Because you will not be able to recover from a hard brick.

PMT = Scatter of teh ROM not have the same partition scheme of teh ROM instaleld into teh device

If a full ROM you can use FIRMWARE UPGRADE mode (in Falshtool).

Never use FORMAT ALL+DOWNLOAD. It's format NVRAM partition and you will lose IMEI.

Ok. I will look for the post later and specify it here.

---------- Post added at 03:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:58 PM ----------

No, you don't need a new scatter.txt file. What is happening is that your custom recovery is automatically being replaced by the stock recovery when you boot your phone.

So after you flash the custom recovery DO NOT REBOOT. Instead, remove the battery from your device and wait for a minute. Then replace the battery and boot into recovery. Then from recovery, select Reboot System.

I'm not sure what custom recovery you're using, but in some custom recoveries, it may even ask you if you want to permanently disable the auto-replacement feature. Say yes, you wish to disable the auto-replacement feature. Then reboot.

If it doesn't ask about auto replace, it will boot the system.

At this point, your custom recovery is permanent (until you flash a different one).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bovirus:
[MENTION=7579981]Milor123[/MENTION]

I didn't understand because you continue to use FORMAT+DOWNLOAD mode in Flashtool instead the right FIRMWARE UPGRADE.

FORMAT + DOWNLOAD ALL should be latest choice when FIRMWARE UPGRADE fail.

With FORMAT + DOWNLOAD You lose IMEI and the IMEI recovery via NVRAM is not guaratee at 100%

Please talke care if you have a file recxovery-from-boot.p (or something like that) it restore the stock recovery.

Try to use Android platform Tool (with USB debug on) and type the command adb reboot recovery.

our question is related to scatter and how to increase memory.

I believe that for a better readibility should be better if you don't post etxt of scatter but attach it to your message as etxt file.

Deos you phone support natively SD (I believ that you mean as storage for data).

The partition is some phoen are realted to scatter or ion EBR1/EBR2/MBR file that is availble in your stock ROM.

*For example, is the bootloader on the HTC unlocked?

*Why are you flashing the preloader? You may brick the device if you do that...uncheck the preloader line if you are downloading to the phone.

*Are all the files present for the partitions you are trying to flash? I cannot see the full file names on your screen...only partial name of the path to the files you are intending to flash.

*What version of SPFT are you using?

*Last HTC I flashed had to be flashed via ADB commands from the command prompt. Are you sure SPFT is the proper tool? Go to a forum for your specific device.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bullracing:
Hello guys, I didn't figure out where to post my question about MTK devices, so I decide to try here where you talk about SPflashtools for MTK chipsets.

I have some Replika devices that have no label below the battery or a model number to identify them, I have understood that these are MTK devices because if I plug them powered down the "vcom/preloader" driver of MTK devices prompts at the device manager of windows. So my Replika devices are bricked, I want to flash them their respect firmware, but I can't find the way to get the model of the chipset to get a compatible firmware and flash it with SPFlastools.

So my question is, how can I get the model of the MTK chipset?

like this "MT6582, MT6578, MT65XX..." I've seen sometimes, in flashtools, when I'm about to flash a firmware on a device and if it is a different type of chip prompts the error code and at the low left corner appears the device's chip info, but as I said SOMETIMES not always and with this devices I have doesn't happens jus the error code appears "type_chip_dosent_match"

Thanks.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] CVAngelo:
That's a tough question. I'm not sure how to tell on a bricked device. I know how you'd do this on a working device. Just use MTK Droid Tools (or install an app like CPU-Z). Do you have access to an UNBRICKED working version of the device? If you have a working device, you could extract a scatter.txt (with MTK Droid Tools) and read back the ROM (with SPFT) and then flash the ROM to the bricked phones with SPFT.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bullracing:
Yes, you're right, I usually make use of an app called Droid Info, there i can get the MTK chipset info, but as you said, on an NONBRICKED device, so as this are replika devices, is hard to find another same device, or like tablets that are from MTK a lot of them has no label too.. I've tried with MTK droid tools, but I found that it doesn't work with the preloader or Vcom port to get info of the device.

I'm shure there should be a way because SPflashtool before writing a firmware on a device checks that the MTkchipset match with the ones you are about to flash with the scatter file. I'll dig deep into MTK droid tools to see if I can find something.

Data loss risk ?

Is there any risk of data loss if i use this tool
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] CVAngelo:
You can certainly lose your data using SPF Tool, but only if you make one of the following bone headed moves:

1. You use the Format tab and format the whole phone...this will wipe your whole device including the data partition which stores your data;

2. You use the Download tab to flash, but select the Format and Download option or the Firmware Upgrade option...these will also wipe your data partition;

3. You use the Download tab to flash, but you check the Userdata line... this will replace your data with the data of the ROM you're flashing (to protect your data, always leave Userdata and Cache unchecked);

4. You brick your device with SPFT by doing amazingly dumb things like flashing the wrong firmware, or formatting the preloader.

But you can pretty much fearlessly use SPFT by following one simple rule: ALWAYS MAKE A FULL BACKUP OF YOUR STOCK FIRMWARE AND DATA WITH SPFT BEFORE FLASHING ANYTHING TO YOUR DEVICE. DO IT NOW (EVEN IF YOU DON'T PLAN ON FLASHING YOUR DEVICE).

I cannot tell you how many people ignore this simple advice and end up doing something bone headed with SPFT.
