SP FLASH TOOL - PMT ERROR - how to solve it...

Dear ALL

writing you today to highlight a possible/potential error you can have while trying to flash your Honor with SP FLASH TOOL, example if you try to flash the CWM recovery or try to flash back the stock recovery etc

This error is basically occurs when you press "download" on SP FLASH TOOL, the flash starts.....red bar comes up...but then you get a POP UP message from SP FLASH TOOL saying that (example of erros)

- your PMT TABELLE is corrupt

- or The phone internal data has corrupt

- or No valid Partition Management Table(PMT) for storage device!

- or PMT is ready and Layout has been changed!

well, if this will happen to you, is because the PMT tabelle is somehow damaged...the solution is to NOT select "download" option on SP FLASH TOOL but select "Format All + Download"

This is necessary to format and create again the PMT tabelle....but to do that you basically need to clean up / format completely the phone and flash again the whole stock rom....and it's not easy to have the whole stock rom on SP FLASH TOOL format :)

ATTENTION NOW: again...selecting "Format All + Download" you basically clean all the phone first, and then "download" the complete rom....to do this, you need to

load with scatter file the complete stock rom of the phone

....

and be sure is a correct stock rom for your huawei honor...otherwise you basically kill your phone...

So, since a couple of you guys wrote me PM to desperatly solve this issue, and we solved it :) ... I decided to post this tutorial to explain how to bring back your honor to full operation and have SP FLASH TOOL again fully working...

here the MANDATORY steps to be followed:

1) obtain with MTK DROID TOOL a full backup of your NVRAM ( IMEI ), you can get NVRAM backup only if your phone is rooted but this is not

an issue as you know

2) once you got a backup of nvram.bin and nvram.rar by MTK DROID TOOL you are ready to continue

3) download the FULL STOCK ROM ...I prepared for you the main files necessary to flash the last B609 version.

FILE: StockRom_B609.rar ( tot 628.2 MB )

https://mega.co.nz/#!otAABAoK!lGo77g-aCF2kSFzhr5PXQGZDryEN3csIjxNOPSku1IY

inside this package, together with necessary files, you will find also the recovery.img THAT IS ALREADY THE CWM RECOVERY,

so you will flash it directly doing this :)

4) extract the StockRom_B609.rar into one folder on your desktop, there is also the scatter file to be used as loading scatter file for this flash

5)open SP FLASH TOOL ( I suggest the last version SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1409.03 ) chose the scatter into the folder you have created, LOAD ALL THE FILES meaning

be sure everything will be selected and all flegs active

6) NOW: chose "Format All + Download" and run it......you will see this time the flash starts...format first everything and then the flash finally will start correctly

and uploading the whole stock rom B609 ( with CWM recovery already included )

7) when flash complete you can reboot the phone and you will see will be as just released from factory....

NOW IMPORTANT: you could have your IMEI lost, 99% the IMEI will be cleaned....

8) no problem, run the phone on CWM recovery....root the phone with the root script already provided and that most of you are using actually.

9) reboot the phone and you will have the root....connect the phone to MTK DROID TOOL and RESTORE the IMEI you previously backed up

10 ) phone will be again back to live with IMEI working, root, and a fresh fully working B609 firmware multilanguage...

11) last thing to do, as usual, install gapps and remove immutable list file ( see previous post for instructions how to do that )

12 ) DONE, you have your phone and sp flash tool fully working again...

cheers
