Hey guys, I have a problem. I probably soft-bricked my phone. I wanted to flash rom from needrom, but after the green circle showed up, my phone won't boot, not even into recovery or factory mode. I wanted to try other Roms to unbrick it, but there is this ENABLE DRAM FAILED problem...

Windows recognizes that phone is connected, but error from the picture shows up everytime. I tried two cables, usb drivers from many sources, two notebooks, but nothing helped. I am sure that i tried ONLY rom for my phone, nothing other. I tried too a special video tutorial on youtube for Star S5, which could prevent the error if i put battery in phone after I connect it. Diddn't work either.

I red somewhere on the xda that if mobile can be connected and is recognized by computer, there is still a chance, but I am quite hopeless right now.. Please help if you know how to, or ask anything that should help you to recognize the problem, I'll answer imidiately.

My phone: Star Q9000 MTK6589

SP Flashtool version: SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1304.0.119

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] PackMan123:
You are getting NAND FLASH NOT FOUND because your phone doesn't have what SP tools recognize as NAND type flash. If your phone has "EMMC" type storage, your scatter file must have the postfix "_emmc" for SP tools to recognize the flash. Or else you will get the above error. Post some info about your phone, maybe I can help you. :)

---------- Post added at 01:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

Keep Volume + (or - ) pressed when you connect the phone to the computer and see if the device is detected in the device manager.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] maniacscorpio:
yes its detected but sp flah tool keep it searching searching only
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] PackMan123:
Don't use upgrade mode. Please post your log when you use "download" mode. This error occurs because there is mismatch in partition layout of the phone and in the scatter file. Using "upgrade" ignores the mismatch, so you may brick your phone.

---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 PM ----------

If the phone detected in device manager as MTK preloader then put sptools in download mode and connect the phone with battery inside and see if it works. If not use try using "firmware upgrade" with original ROM.

As long as your phone is detected, your phone is not dead. I don't know :/ Try changing drivers and try newer SP tools. Some phone need battery to be put in and you must press download first then connect the phone or else it won't work.

For firmware upgraded, you need to select (tick) all the files. You have only ticked two files. If you want to flash only selected partition, then you need to click the "Download" button rather than the "firmware upgrade" one.

can i flash only android (system) and data images from new ROM and keep all the other files untouched ??

i'm going to test a so close ROM to My ROM but it differs in preloader so i will keep every original file on phone and flash only the system.img &

how do I make mySP Flash Tool v3.1304.0.119 load ALL .img files like in your screenshot for my Jiayu G4A MTK6589T ?

I downloaded a rom zip file from ejiayu.com and SEVEN .img files are provided. The supplied "MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt" file loads only three .img files, but not the important system.img or userdata.img or others. All I do is right-click the zip file and do 'extract here', move all them to the SPFlashTool folder, and run the SPFlashTool. What's happening? Windows file permissions? Windows user account security? Edit the scatter file or some settings of the flash tool? Get a latest version of the sp flash tool? Hm? :confused:

Thanks.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Noob_XDA:
It means that the folder containing your scatter map file has only 3 img files in it.

---------- Post added at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 AM ----------

This tool is for phone with MTK CPU, Your Xperia Mini most likely has a Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU. U need to chk your phone spec first.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] petesimon:
Thanks for the reply. :laugh: However, I edited my original post to include a better description and screenshot of available .img files. Got any other ideas? Suggestions?

I wish the SP Flash Tool could use just one single zip file without extracting files from the zip file. :eek: In the meantime, I got a jiayu stock rom that can be flashed without the spflashtool.

*EDIT* Solved this time: Used SP_Flash_Tool v3.1316.0.150. Not sure about next time with different rom and spflashtool versions...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Noob_XDA:
From your screenshot, it seems that you have put everything [rom files plus map] in the flash tool folder.

Try putting the rom files & map in a separate folder.

Hello everybody

I am currently building a wiki for all those Umeox smartwatches that are currently appearing on the market (Omate, Pearl, Vapirius, etc.). Those watches are based on MTK processors.

I would like to add a tutorial for using SPTools, also, and thus would like to ask for permission to copy content to the wiki. Of course with giving credits to the original authors and correctly linking to this thread.

I would write a tutorial myself, but I don't have a watch yet. Waiting for it anxiously :)

SP Flash tool - Completely Dead Phone (UMI X2)

Hi, I was trying to use Flash tool and Don't know what happend but My Phone is completely DEAD right now :( even power button is also not working no screen is there (just blank phone).

I am having UMI X2 2GB rom, 32 gb internal memory, 1.5 GHZ (MT6589T) Model.

I tried to use SP Flash tool to recover my phone. Firstly I tried to format the phone, After that I tried to run the correct scatter file for MT6589 (from one of the ROM Posted under UMI-X2).

Drivers for the SP Flash tool is loaded correctly (into my Windows 8 Pc). I was previosly getting error as follow : SP FLASH TOOL ERROR: (8200)

[Platform Error] The load and target are inconsistent!

Now, after searching a lot I found that its something wrong with SP Flash tool version.

So I downloaded SP Flash Tool V3.1304.O.sn119 version. After that I am trying to "Download" the rom (with the correct scatter file for my ROM). but its only showing me RED Bar (with 100%) and after that it does nothing. Its neither showing me any error nor its continuing the process.

I am in serious problem here. Please help me out.

Thanks in advance!

Wondering if someone could help. I have a Timmy E82 Android 4.3 MTK MT6582 device and been unable to fully root it with any tools, due to /system refusing to mount. My device is true 4.3 it seems.

I'm using:

SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1332.0.187

MTK Droid tools v2.5.1

I made completed all the steps to get a scatter, it created a patched recovery, which I renamed to recovery.img and put both the scatter and the recovery in the same folder.

But then I'm getting error 8038.

Reading here: http://www.phcorner.net/threads/fix-error-8038-in-sp-flash-tool.64302/

And a few other places it suggests the issue is a mis match in the scatter file. What is it I need to modify in the scatter to get it working so I can flash a custom recovery? I honestly don't know what value the SP log is e

Also I read the pre-loader needs to be able to in the same folder, as the scatter and recovery, does also also need to be ticked during the custom recovery flashing process?

Please see my attached scatter file and log with SP tools.

Thank you

I have problems with Jiayu G4. Suddenly the phone stopped responding. I removed the battery and reseat it again. It switched on and stalled to Jiayu logo for minutes. I remove again the battery and no the phone do not turns on. No recovery mode. I tried the SP flash tool, I have the correct MTK drivers installed, but It stops at the first stage when the red line reaches the 100%.

Also I forgot to mention that the usb connection of the phone connects and reconnects for minutes but it shelf. Appears and disappears on device manager. I have used before 40 days the SP Flash Tool correctly to install the latest official firmware with no issues.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Noob_XDA:
If u have made a backup of your phone with MTK Droid Tool [with or without userdata] , make a copy of it some where else u know.

In this working copy folder, replace the recovery.img [ori from phone] with the one that u have created [cwm].

Then use SPflash Tool to download it to your phone. Just tick recovery.img ONLY.

DO NOT for the love of your phone tick the first 2 boxes unnecessarily.
