Hello to all good gurus of this highly exalted forum. I have serious issues the with flashing of my phone with spflash tool. About two months ago a bought a Umidigi a3 mobile phone, not later than 2 weeks l was sent an update via OTA, l downloaded and installed, this began the pain to use the phone, 1.the phone began to drag seriously, 2. Apps never run fast as usual, 3. About few days ago when l wanted to use the phone it could not boot, rather blank screen display. , in quest l held down the power button for a longer it boot to Umidigi logo and never went beyond that, seeing this tutorial, l decided to flash the phone with the stock rom using the spflash tool. The spflash tool initially displayed the redbar "Download DA 100%" the purple bar colour never shown up, and the spflash tool only show "download boot loader0%" the whole exercise stucked here, 20 minutes after spflash tool only informed me, STATUS_DOWNLOAD_EXCEPTION (0xC0050003) l have downloaded two different ROM, and have used two PC with windows 10 and 7 respectively. Please someone help me l am losing my mind on how to get back my phone.

Hey, i need help getting it to work on my PC.

I have downloaded and updated the drivers, and every time i try to flash, it gives me the stupid ENABLE_DRAM error with the code 0xFC0

My phone is a Moto C Plus (XT1726), its chipset is MT6737M, im on the latest Flashtool version (With the auth support), the recovery is for my series of devices (1721, but as far as i know , the kernel for the 1726 is the same, so it should flash fine), my OS is Windows 10 X64, but i tried on Windows 7 x64 aswell and it didn't work.

I have tried all of the magic with unsigned drivers, but nothing, it always counts to 10 seconds and fails, the drivers detected are always different (Sometimes its VCOM for a fraction of second, sometimes its MediaTek USB Driver, and none of the times it is the correct DA VCOM driver).

I want no generical replies, since i have seen many "smart" people giving simple awnsers without even thinking about the problem. This chipset also seems crappy, but i really need that phone fixed.

"Not Verify" Message

Hello Sir,

i've found a solution to your problem:

so Here's the step you should follow...

Step1 : install gravity box, that depends on your android version [Pie, Oreo, Marshmallow, Kitkat etc.]

Step2: install "Xposed installer" & enable gravity box in modules then reboot your phone.

Warning: this will brick your phone if you don't root your phone them properly ( you can use "Root Checker").

Step3: after you reboot your phone, open gravity box and then go to "Advance Tuning" & enable "Master Switch" then reboot your phone again.

Step4: Open gravity box again, Go to: "Advance tuning", "Frame work" and find "Config_add_tee_watermark_state"

press the "Override" option and then check the "Overridden value" that will turn the watermark off ("Not Verify") to False

Step5: Reboot your phone again....

"Congratulations, your phone is now working as normal"

In fact with original files (Driver / DA / firmware) send me by archos,

Win and Linux detect the same bad Vendor and proc (0e8d:0003) and not my Archos Hello 7.

- Is it possible to force to flash My proc is MT8167 and detect prod is MT6227 ?

- Is it possible to modify the DA or firmware to include the detect information ?

- Is it possible to extract with flash tools the Vendor and device information of DA and firmware files ?

- and after try to force there information in the system WIN10 or Linux (I don't know how !) ?

Vivo Xi can't shut phone down.

As stated, I'm trying to flash stock rom, I fastboot oem unlocked device. Then flashed patched boot.img for root. Which broke wifi. So, I flashed vendor. Img to a boot loop. So. Im trying the flash tool, but, with device booting , I can't pull the battery, or shut it down. It will see the device with vcom preload for a couple seconds. When the phone reboots. (I'm assuming because it shuts down, then reboots) should I just let it sit on the splash screen until dead? Then try flashing with the tool?

Sp flash tool for android

I have installed adb driver in my rooted android and it can recognize adb devices also adb sideload. But sp flash tool can only be installed in windows and linux.

No, I'm not sure - just one of the almost 60 scanners used by VirusTotal.com reported it's a trojan. On the other hand even if none of them detected anything I could not be sure that the file contains no unknown or mutated malware.

Don't get me wrong - but I just wished you had told if it's an installer bundled by yourself or you had told the source of it. Or you had linked some official source offering the driver if there is.

This looks promising.

I have a couple of questions - is there anyway to 'grab' it when it shows up? or will the tool do that, and 2, I may sound daft but I cannot get the scatter file, I have the stock rom but it isn't there, and cannot get it off my almost dead phone?

The program still detects the phone but its stuck in a loop between the errors 6128 and 1041 based on whenever I checked or not the options withing the Downloads section (the solution for one of the errors should be deleting checksum.ini as well, but I can't find the archive itself).

My ZTE Blade L3 (now hardware broken after a mod with the antennas...) with MT6582M says otherwise, in the various times I did that to it XD. Also the phone of a friend of mine which is an Elephone P8000 B with MT6753 says the same my older phone used to haha.

I never experienced that with these 2 which were the only ones I touched that had MediaTek chipsets. And none of them broke for good even after no charging nor booting nor whatever. They were always fixed. I did whatEVER I wanted with the ZTE Blade L3. It NEVER broke (except for the mod I did... - either that or too much flashing, no idea, but it doesn't turn on anymore nor charges, but the battery is in poor state anyways, so that may be the reason too). I think maybe you should change that line to "may be completely dead OR not, you gotta try".

I tried various times when that used to happen including formatting (I don't remember the order - either format first or install first). One of the times the phone would ALWAYS start working again and SP Flash Tool would flash the new ROM. Unless I always flashed a good preloader, but I'm 10000% sure the phone stopped charging various times and didn't boot to anything. Was just dead. And it always recovered. Not a single time it didn't. That I remember, it broke with the system installed already, so nothing to do with that. And my friend's phone was working even after that happening.

PS: Please don't judge me for my stupidity doing this haha. I just didn't want my father to find out I had bricked the Blade L3 months after buying it (first smartphone I had), so I was just fast and read fast about stuff that would put the phone working and got it to work after 6 days. Luckly what you say there never happened - and I'm thinking it won't, by the many times I did this... But would be cool to have an explanation so I can be sure it won't ever happen or it may happen some times.

Last firmware update available is from November 5th 2017.

Flashing stock ROM (Android 7) is useless as it becomes infected again or it's in the ROM itself. I could only find the ROM in dubious web sites.

Is there a way to recover a "dead device", which was formatted (I know this should have not been done, but I hoped to fixed a Wifi bug).

I own a Chuwi Hipad Plus 11, which always disconnected from Wifi. All other devices works fine.

Therefore I resetted it multiple times but it did not help.

My goal was to fully reflash with Spflashtool.

Now I am stuck, with the Error

"ERROR STATUS_EXT_RAM_EXCEPTION (0xC0050005)"

and in the tool the red bar stays at 100% DA loading.

I tried https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient and can do something like python mtk plstage --preloader=preloader.bin with the correct loader. (which is preloader_tb8788p1_64_wifi.bin)

But I am still not lucky. Furthermore the device at the moment constantly connects/disconnects in Windows.
