- Try making a jumper connection between kcolo and gnd (something similar to https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-11802.html ) then flash only preloader, if successful then disconnect the jumper and flash the rest of the firmware
Error 0xC004000B
Message: ERROR: STATUS_EXCEED_AVALIABLE_RANGE (0xC004000B)
Meaning: You might be trying to flash or backup too many / too large partitions at a time
Solution:
- Try flashing or backing up one file / partition at a time
- Ensure you’ve supplied the correct partition addresses (either in scatter file or manually during readback/flash)
Error 0xC0010001)
Message: ERROR: STATUS_ERR (0xC0010001)

First time ROM Flasher here. Please forgive the length I am just trying to be thorough here.
I have a Chuwi VX3 that seemed to have bricked and when I opened it up I could not find anything wrong (I was trained as a computer tech, help desk, network management IT person but health has kept me out of the workplace). I had ordered it on AliExpress and got my money out of it as a tablet phone so I was unhappy but not too put out.
I ordered another and this one has been a pain… literally. It fried an SD Card… literally… and me too when I took it out. It was acting a little flaky but in those frustrating unreplicatable ways that aren’t consistent. Otherwise it worked fine and had the new ROM.
Before the seller would take it back they wanted me to get it fixed, which they don’t do around here, and then when they found out I was a tech they wanted me to try flashing it and putting another SD Card in.
Thats what brings me here.
On NeedROM they had both the original and the updated ROMs.
I got the latest (TMK) SP Flash from there and both ROM packages. Following a tutorial (well actually 3) I set up to flash my New Chuwi VX3 and when I was getting ready I accidentally plugged my original VX3 in. It booted but the screen was dead, but the encryption password screen and the touch on the screen was working. I decided to try and flash it too to see if it was a software display issue.
Went to flash the New VX3, got error, looked it up, Format and download instead of download because the partition tables don’t match the ROM’s.
I do it and it formats no problem, starts downloading no problem… until about 33% in. SP Flash Tool then stops, kicks up a BROM Error: S_FTHND_File_Load_Fail (5008). After that every time I plug in the new VX3 I get this error: «The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it.»
I then try my old VX3 and it had to be formatted and downloaded too and it flashed like a dream. Unfortunately the screen is still dark.
I have tried reinstalling the drivers, a slightly older version of SP Flash, manually reinstalling the USB sub drivers in the device manager, booting the computer with my new VX3 connected to the USB Port.
I am using Windows 8.1 Pro on a 64bit AMD system.
I got all of my tools from the NeedROM Chuwi VX3 entry here: [Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register]
Both phones were mostly charged.
I also just realized I left the NFC SIM Card in and I pulled it out and stuck it in one of those indestructible Nokia candy bar phones from over a decade back and both the SIM and the Nokia still work.
Can any of you please help me with the USB/recognition problem so I can flash this phone and fix it or show that yes it is bad so I can return it and get another or my money back.

If I connect other things to that USB port they work fine, and if I connect the old phone with the broken screen that did flash I don’t get the error, but when I start using the new one that stopped mid flash I got that error.
I will try changing the cable, but I am pretty sure that is not the issue.
By the way Thanks for the post.
Also I left the new phone charging overnight. Even though when I charged it before flashing it and left it charging overnight It was showing the battery screen for when you are charging it when it is off and it was showing no charge, or more accuratly it was stuck between the displaying the battery and the point when it displays the charge on the battery.
I tried to get into the recovery mode which I couldn’t do before and this time it worked. I tried to do a factory reset and it did it. I then rebooted, got the manufacturer’s screen and thats it.
I will try dowloading the ROM again and let you guys know what happens

Ok bro.. Sorry about this… I think the cause of this is from your scatter file. It will be safe to assume that your scatter file is not that compatible with d sp tool.. Try getting another file, or just prepare new file with Mtk tool with d same model of phone. D problem of ur phone can’t continue dis way because d phone was not made d way it is now, so therefore, your mobile must surely work, d problem that u are experiencing on d issue of d phone now will never last… D problem of d phone is just a stranger that as came to live in d phone 4 a little while….

Strange… one of my 2 posts is missing… well here it goes again:
I keep having the same thing happen and it goes like this.
1) I use USBDeview from NirSoft to flush all of the USB Settings for my phone.
2) I launch SPFT and then the correct Download Agent and Scatter file loads.
3) I plug in my phone and let it set up so SPFT will detect it later, then I unplug it.
4) I then set SPFT to Format and Download and start the download.
5) I connect my phone and and it formats properly but only downloads to 12%, then sits there until it times out and gives a 4008 error.
6) If I disconect my phone and try to try again I always get the «The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it.» Error from Windows 8.1 and SPFT can’t detect it.
7) I then go into recovery mode, do a hard factory reset, and then reboot the phone. If I don’t do this step and clear the USB Settings for the phone, the phone keeps getting the «The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it.» Error.
The phone then boots to an endless Boot Screen Logo for the phone and if I try to turn it off it just reboots.
9) I trick the phone into shutting down by rebooting it with the power button and when the screen goes black I plug in the charger and it goes to the charging screen (the one I earlier mentioned never gets to the point of showing what the charge is) and then unplug it and the phone turns off.
10) I go back to 1 and start all over again.

The thing is I actually flashed the old VX3 with that same scatter file no problem, however the update wouldn’t accept the scatter file for it and I guess there could have been a hardware tweek on the newer VX3 so I guess it could be that. I will give generating a new file With MTK Tools… any suggested tutorials on MTK that you know of?
Unless I missed it right in front of my face I didn’t see one on this site.

Мне нужно прошить новую прошивку для моего планшета China X-302 (подробности ниже). От производителя я получил пакет, содержащий прошивку, стоковую версию, sp flash tool, драйверы и т. Д. Когда я хочу использовать flash_tool.exe, выберите и добавьте агент загрузки (например, MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin или более), а затем выскакивает ошибка:
ОШИБКА BROM: S_FTHND_FILE_LOAD_FAIL (5008)
[Подсказка]:
Планшет на тот момент у меня подключился. USB-драйвер да Vcom я установил.
планшет: х-302 дракона — х701
Android 4.4.2 ядро 3 апреля 67
Сборка ALPS.KK1.MP1.V2.11
Протестировано на Windows 7 32-битной, Windows 10 64-битной (я также пробовал режим совместимости).
ОБНОВИТЬ
Стандартные драйверы установлены. Планшет нормально общается, устанавливает apk с помощью adb, запускает и отлаживает приложения android/Xamarin с помощью Visual Studio. Это все хорошо. Если вы думаете о драйверах MediaTek USB VCOM, значит, вы установили:
MediaTek DA USB VCOM (Android) (COM18)
Предзагрузчик MediaTek USB VCOM (Android) (COM19)
USB-порт MediaTek (Android) (COM22)
Порт отладки MTK USB (COM20)
Модемный порт USB MTK (COM21)
Я должен был разрешить установку неподписанных драйверов, а затем записи были установлены в порядке. Но на устройстве есть предупреждение «Это устройство не может запуститься. (Код 10). Я пробовал разные способы установки или другую версию, но всегда пишет это предупреждение. Однако на форуме я обнаружил, что это не проблема. SP Flash tool может работать…
I need to flash a new firmware for my china X-302 Tablet (detail below). From the producer i have got a package containing firmware, stock rom, sp flash tool, drivers etc. When I want to use flash_tool.exe select and add download agent (for example MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin or more) then pops up an error:
ERROR BROM: S_FTHND_FILE_LOAD_FAIL (5008)
[HINT]:
Tablet at that moment I connected. Usb driver da Vcom I have installed.
tablet: x-302 of Dragon — h701
Android 4.4.2
kernel 3 April 67
Build ALPS.KK1.MP1.V2.11
Tested on Windows 7 32bit, Windows 10 64bit (I also tried compactibility mode).
UPDATE
Standard drivers are installed. The tablet normally communicate, install apk using adb, run and Debug android/Xamarin applications using Visual Studio. This is all OK. If you think MediaTek USB VCOM drivers, so you’ve got installed:
MediaTek DA USB VCOM (Android) (COM18)
MediaTek Preloader USB VCOM (Android) (COM19)
MediaTek USB Port (Android) (COM22)
MTK USB Debug Port (COM20)
MTK USB Modem Port (COM21)
I had to allow installation of unsigned drivers, and then writes were installed OK. But device has warning «This device can not start. (Code 10). I tried different ways to install or other version, but always writes this warning. However, on the forum, I found it’s not a problem. SP Flash tool may work…
Как известно, во многих случаях для прошивки устройств на чипах MediaTek применяется программа FlashTool, но, к сожалению, часто в процессе встречаются различные ошибки. В данной инструкции собраны наиболее часто встречающиеся ошибки FlashTool и возможные пути решения данных проблем.
(1002 или 0x3EA) S_INVALID_ARGUMENTS
Неверный scatter файл. В моем случае были отключены, в scattere, блоки PRELOADER и DSP_BL. На это и ругался.
(1003 или 0x3EB) S_COM_PORT_OPEN_FAIL
Проблема с портом.
Может возникать если например у вас в BIOS отключены com-порты (хоть в данном случае com-порт здесь виртуальный, а физический USB, но при отключении вы просто не увидите оборудование на которое ставятся драйверы preloader).
Либо проблема в USB кабеле (помогает смена кабеля для прошивки).
Либо проблема в USB-порту компьютера (помогает перетыкание кабеля в другой порт).
(1011 или 0x3F3) S_NOT_ENOUCH_STORAGE_SPACE
Возникает когда размер какой-либо части прошивки превышает размер отведенного ему пространства (Обычно это блок ядра или рекавери).
Также стало известно, что данная ошибка иногда возникает на «сырых» версиях флештула, поэтому возможно поможет смена версии прошивальщика.
(1012 или 0x3F4) S_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY
Воспользуйтесь более свежей версией прошивальщика.
(1013 или 0x3F5) S_COM_PORT_OPEN_FAIL
Ошибка по характеру и направленности аналогична ошибке 1003.
Также может помочь смена версии прошивальщика.
Также можно попробовать прошить устройство с отключенной батареей.
(1018 или 0x3FA) S_UNKNOWN_TARGET_BBCHIP
Решение: воспользоваться более свежей версией прошивальщика.
(1022 или 0x3FE) S_UNSUPPORTED_VER_OF_DA
Воспользуйтесь более свежей версией прошивальщика.
(1040 или 0x410) S_UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION
Scatter файл не подходит телефону. Например в названии присутствует 6577, а телефон на самом деле 6573
(1041 или 0x411) CHS_ERR
Переходим в вкладку «Help» там нажимаем «Open Logs Folder» и удаляем все логи. Дальше переходим в папку с прошивкой ищем и удаляем файл файл «Checksum.ini». Прошиваем опять Format+Dowloand.
(2004 или 0x7D4) S_BROM_DOWNLOAD_DA_FAIL
Как мне показалось проблема была в версии флэштула, загрузил версию в конце версии которой есть обозначение SEC, в ней тел зашился с первого раза.
так же ошибка 2004 может возникнуть, если система захламлена usb-дровами разных прочих устройств. Мне помогла программа USBDeview — удалил все установленные usb-драйвера и вуаля, прошивка ч/з FT завелась.
Также может помочь подключение устройства с зажатой клавишей громкости «+» или «-«.
Еще предлагают попробовать следующее: после того как появится ошибка, необходимо сразу закрыть окно с ошибкой и тут же нажать кнопку download еще раз.
(2005 или 0x7D5) S_BROM_CMD_STARTCMD_FAIL
На телефонах с MTD флэш случаи возникновения ошибки:
При выборе Download на блоках preloader или dsp_bl не установлена галка. Надо использовать подходящую версию SPFT , например v2.xxx для телефонов MT6573, или выключить режим DA Download All.
При выборе Download на блоках preloader или dsp_bl установлена галка. Надо снять галку с этих блоков! Если эти блоки необходимо прошить, надо подсоединить телефон в режиме BOOTROM.
При выборе ReadBack, Format или MemoryTest. Надо подсоединить телефон в режиме BOOTROM.
Также можно попробовать прошить устройство с отключенной батареей.
Вылечила флештулом SP_Flash_Tool_exe_Windows_v5.1515.00_temp_Secure_boot, прошила через firmvare upgrade, со вставленной батареей.
(2020 или 0x7E4) S_BROM_CHKSUM16_MEM_RESULT_DIFF
Решил так — в настройках флештула принудительно поставил галку что тело без батареи, после чего подключил через тест поинт с батареей. Всё на удивление прошилось.
Помогло подключение смартфона с зажатой кнопкой громкости вверх (на разных телефонах может быть по-другому, например громкость вниз или кнопка питания), как только компьютер и FT определили телефон, отпускаем громкость и процесс прошивки пошел).
(2035 или 0x7F3) S_BROM_CMD_JUMP_DA_FAIL
После нажатия кнопки download попробуйте подключить к компьютеру выключенное устройство с предварительно зажатыми кнопками громкости.
(3001 или 0xBB9) S_DA_EXT_RAM_ERROR
Возможно проблемы с подключением. Проверьте кабель и/или переподключите кабель в другой порт.
(3012 или 0xBC4) NAND_FLASH_NOT_FOUND
Проблема связанная с определением флеш памяти устройства. Известные методы побороть данную проблему:
Попробовать использовать разные версии прошивальщика, т.к. по мере выпуска разных версий обновляется и информация о флеш памяти.
Попробовать прошить смартфон на другом компьютере,т.к. бывают софтовые проблемы, мешающие корректно определить память на конкретной машине.
(3013 или 0xBC5) S_DS_SOC_CHECK_FAIL
Возможно, что в окне SP_Flash_Tool не стоит птичка на uboot. uboot — загрузчик операционной системы + драйверы для инициализации основного оборудования (дисплей, процессор, GPIO).
Или когда в строке пути есть русские имена папок например: C:UsersКолянDesktopХатаПрошивкиПрошивка планшета8.31Surfer 8.31 3G_20130402_V1.03Surfer 8.31 3G_20130402_V1.03
(3054 или 0xBEE) S_DA_NFB_BOOTLOADER_NOT_EXIST
Помогла смена версии прошивальщика с пятой версии на третью
(3066 или 0xBFA) S_DA_HANDSET_FAT_INFO_NOT_FOUND
Возникает при автоматическом форматировании, следует попробовать установить адреса форматирования вручную.
(3144 или 0xC48) S_DA_EMMC_FLASH_NOT_FOUND
Кроме проблемы с железом может быть когда Scatter файл не подходит телефону. Например в названии присутствует emmc, а телефон на самом деле с MTD флэш.
Как же есть вероятность что проблема решится если вы воспользуйтесь машиной с другой операционной системой (в приоритете winXP) и начисто установите драйверы.
(3149 или 0xC4D) S_DA_SDMMC_WRITE_FAILED
Прошивал версией 3.1320.0.174, после выпадения ошибки послушался программу и прошил версией 5.1420.00 (на момент написания последняя версия) выбирал Format all+download и все заработало, программа стояла в корне диска C.
Также проблема может быть аппаратная.
Необходимо переустановить драйвера и добиться чтоб в диспетчере устройств планшет правильно отображался как MTK Usb Port. Далее запустить ФлешТул и выбрать родную прошивку. Снять галочки со всех файлов кроме preloader-файла. Прошить этот файл через download.
(3168 или 0xC60) S_CHIP_TYPE_NOT_MATCH
Неверный scatter-файл. Используйте «родной» scatter файл от вашего устройства.
(4001 или 0xFA1) S_FT_DA_NO_RESPONSE
Решение — сменить USB-порт и перенести SP Flash Tool в корень диска C:
Также есть вариант, что в файле download agent нет информации о ЦП/флэш. Решение — обновить версию прошивальщика.
Проблема может быть аппаратная, например при вышедшей из строя флеш-памяти.
Как пишут тут, появлению данной ошибки может способствовать низкий заряд батареи.
(4008 или 0xFA8) S_FT_DOWNLOAD_FAIL
Способы из практики, которые решили данную проблему:
Смена версии прошивальщика и самое интересное, что на более старую версию.
Смена кабеля для прошивки.
Также возможно в процессе прошивки села АКБ… Решение: зарядить телефон и попробовать прошивку заново.
В некоторых случаях нужно вытащить из устройства акб и попробовать прошить без нее.
Также пишут, что может помочь форматирование устройства.
Проблема и одно из решений ошибки (4008 или 0xFA8) S_FT_DOWNLOAD_FAIL. Два дня мучался и форматировал и менял версии флештулов, вообщем ни как, флештул начинает шить и на 5-7 процентах вылазит ошибка 4008. Один раз даже прошился до 37 процентов после форматирования. Думал память накрячилась,но тест памяти проходил без проблем и не выдавал ошибок. Оказалось очень просто. При снятой крышки телефона увидел блестящие царапины на микросхеме, где кнопка выключения, немного полазил иголкой и о чюдо, начал прошиватся. Оказалась всего лишь запала кнопка выключения.
Попробуйте сменить скорость с Full Speed, на High Speed, прошиваться будет в разы дольше, но у меня проблема решилась. Относится к ошибке (4008 или 0xFA8) S_FT_DOWNLOAD_FAIL.
(4009 или 0xFA9) S_FT_READBACK_FAIL
Кроме ошибок чтения в самом телефоне такая же ошибка при ошибках в файловой системе PC. Например не хватает места для файла или файл невозможно перезаписать т.к. он залочен. Для уточнения надо смотреть лог.
(4010 или 0xFAA) S_FT_FORMAT_FAIL
Рекомендуется сменить версию прошивальщика на 5 версию, крайне желательно начать с версии 5.1352.01 и попытаться прошить аппарат через firmware upgrade (прошивка должна быть оригинальной для аппарата и содержать в себе все блоки).
Также попробуйте сменить кабель для прошивки на более качественный.
(4032 или 0xFC0) S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL
Встретилась ошибка 4032 при попытке смены прошивки на аппарате с процессором MT6589 через программу Sp_Flash_tool. Аппарат оживил, отформатировав телефон через кнопку Format (не делайте это если у вас аппарат на процессоре MT6575 или 6577) в программе sp_flash_tool, затем скачал официальную прошивку и прошил ее со всеми галочками через кнопку download. Иногда нужно удалять и переустанавливать драйверы и делать форматирование повторно, и потом перепрошиваться если предыдущая попытка была неудачная.
Если ничего не помогло, то попробуйте сменить версию прошивальщика. Рекомендуется начать с версии 5.1352.01
Нужно найти родной preloader и прошить его. Если прошивка стандартным методом не приносит результата, то возможно придется прошивать аппарат через тестпоинт (далее предоставлена ссылка на тему про тестпоинты). Тестпоинты для прошивки preloader
Как пишут тут, появлению данной ошибки может способствовать низкий заряд батареи.
Также пишут что может помочь замыкание 4 и 5 контакта на разъеме USB.
(4037 или 0xFC5) S_FT_FS_READ_FAIL 0xFC5
Был косяк в путях к прошивке — кирилица.
(4048 или 0xFD0) S_FT_MEMORY_TEST_FAIL
100% нерабочая память.
(4050 или 0xFD2) S_FT_NEED_DOWNLOAD_ALL_FAIL
Возникает, когда не совпадают размеры блоков в PMT и в скаттере. В общем случае эта ошибка лечится загрузкой всех блоков (может одного usrdata хватит), после этого размер в PMT должен поменяться на правильный.
Иногда помогает смена версии прошивальщика.
(4058 или 0xFDA) S_FT_GET_MEMORY_FAIL
Проблема с флеш-памятью. На одном ТА с такой ошибкой помог прогрев чипа флеш-памяти (паяльным феном на высоких температурах (около 400С)), на другом замена чипа с донорской платы.
(5002 или 0x138A) S_INVALID_DA_FILE
При настройке SP_Flash_Tool download agent нужно выбирать прилагающийся к данной версии прошивальщика. Выбор других агентов дает такую ошибку.
(5007 или 0x138F) S_FTHND_FILE_IS_NOT_LOADED_YET
Обычно возникает если во флештуле стоит галка на блоке, к которому путь отсутствует. Решение: указать путь к необходимому блоку прошивки.
При возникновении данной ошибки помогла смена версии-прошивальщика на v5.1352.01.
Прошивал ZTE Blade L3 (2я ревизия), ошибка возникала постоянно, пока не подключил аппарат без батарейки — ошибка исчезла.
(5054 или 0x13BE) S_DL_GET_DRAM_SETTINGS_FAIL
Заключалась в следующем:
— Каким-то образом была установлена (подходящая для данного девайса) прошивка через Firmware Upgrade
— Галочка с раздела Preloader снята не была
— При этом самого прелоадера в прошивке НЕ было
В результате флештул скорее всего потер прелоадер. Было рекомендовано найти прошивку с прелоадером, прошить через Firmware Upgrade, а потом ставить ту новую прошивку (в которой нет прелоадера) через Download, убрав галочки с тех разделов, которые прошивать не надо.
Вобщем потёрт preloader,пока не отыскал прошивку под Sp flashtool с нормальным preloader не прошивалось ничего,телефон видел только комп,как COM порт,в остальном был труп во всех смыслах.Слитый из sp flashtool бэкап не решал проблему из врайтмэмори,да даже форматировать не удавалось.Как прошил preloader (долго не мог найти прошивку на аппарат) смартфон ожил,дал зашить себе в брюхо кастомное рекавери (тем же sp flashtool’ом),ну а дальше дело техники.
Смысл ошибки — «не удалось получить настройки оперативной памяти устройства». Это может происходить при работе Download Agent внутри устройства, или при передаче ответного пакета от DA к FT. По вине драйвера сбой при передаче может произойти лишь в том случае, если у вас XP с сервис-паком не выше второго, а в этом случае нужно не драйверы переустанавливать, а ставить последний (третий) сервис-пак. В более старших системах драйвер usbser.sys обновлениям не подвергался, поэтому что-то переустанавливать нет смысла.
(5066 или 0x13CA) S_DL_PC_BL_INVALID_GFH_FILE_INFOR
Неправильные файлы. Например когда выбрали scatter из папки с еще не подготовленными для FT файлами. Надо выбрать scatter из папки подготовленных для FT файлов.
(5069 или 0x13CD) S_DL_PMT_ERR_NO_SPACE
На текущий момент вердикт, что это аппаратная проблема. Скорее всего это особенность флешпамяти — бывают такие случаи, когда ни форматирование, ни низкоуровневое форматирование не дает никакого эффекта — на флешке остаются файлы как есть.
(6045 или 0x179D) S_SECURITY_SECURE_USB_DL_IMAGE_SIGN_HEADER_NOT_FOUND
Попробовать другую версию SPFT, рекомендуется начать с версии 5.1532
(6104 или 0x17D8) S_SECURITY_SECURE_USB_DL_DA_RETURN_INVALID_TYPE
Попробовать другую версию SPFT, рекомендуется начать с версии 5.1532
(6124 или 0x17EC) S_SECURITY_INVALID_PROJECT (6124), MSP ERROE CODE: 0 x 00.
Получилось устранить после прошивки родного Preloader через кнопку download. После этого прошивка модифицированного recovery прошла без ошибок и далее восстановил прошивку из ранее созданного бекапа.
(6126 или 0x17EE) S_SECURITY_SECRO_HASH_INCORRECT
На текущий момент неизлечима в домашних условиях.
Данная ошибка встречается на телефонах Huawei G610, Huawei G700, LG L60 Dual
Характеризуется следующими симптомами:
— периодическая перезагрузка
— в телефоне остаются удаленные вещи
— при проверке памяти на запись выскакивает ошибка
Перечисленные выше телефоны имеют залоченный загрузчик, из-за чего необходимо прошить разлоченный sec_ro для разблокировки и дальнейшей перепрошивки. Но вся беда в том, что именно при прошитии sec_ro чаще всего и возникает эта ошибка.
Рекомендуется заменить память в сервисе.
(8038 или 0x1F66) SP FLASH TOOL ERROR)/(PMT changed for the ROM; it must be downloaded)
Возникает если имена или адреса блоков в scatter отличаются от таблицы внутри телефона (PMT). Нужно поправить scatter-файл в папке с прошивкой, т.е. привести к одному виду с вашем текущем скаттер-файлом, из прошивки которая у вас в данный момент на аппарате. Пример как отлавливать и править вручную приведен здесь.
Если со скаттер файлом ничего не предпринималось, но все-равно выводится данная ошибка, то можете попробовать сменить версию прошивальщика. Рекомендуется начать с версии SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1352.01
От 8038 есть одно простое средство — использовать firmware upgrade. НО ВНИМАНИЕ! Прошивка должна быть конкретно для этой модели девайса и содержать все блоки(обычно есть в стоковых прошивках)
(8045 или 0x1F6D) SP FLASH TOOL ERROR
Ошибка по характеру похожа на 8038, но на практике правка скаттер файла не помогала. Для решения проблемы многие шли в сервисный центр и им воскрешали аппарат через программатор.
В домашних условиях иногда срабатывает вариант прошивки через кнопку DOWNLOAD со всеми установленными галочками (версии флештула перебирайте и пробуйте несколько раз).
8045 (неверно размеченая таблица) если такая ошибка встретится, качаем сток прошивку загружаем в флештул (любой), нажимаем Format, далее заряжаем батарею (обязательная процедура) (планшет придется разбирать и заряжать в ручную), далее той же стоковой прошивкой через кнопку DOWLOAD заливаем со всеми галками, возможно будет прерывание процесса загрузки но не унываем если это произошло нажимаем firmware upgrade подключаем девайс и все.
Также проблема может быть аппаратная.
(8200 или 0x2008) SP FLASH TOOL ERROR
Возникает если вы пытаетесь прошить аппарат на одной платформе, прошивкой от другого (например у вас mt6577, а вы пытаетесь прошить прошивкой от аппарата на mt6575 и т.д.)
Также может помочь смена версии прошивальщика.
(8417 или 0x20E1) SP FLASH TOOL ERROR: The load scatter file is invalid!
Уберите из пути к скаттер-файлу иероглифы и уменьшите длинну пути до него (до файла).
Unrecognized ROM detected
Причина: несовпадение разметки в скаттере и в устройстве.
Чаще всего случается, когда над устройством производились действия по кастомной переразметке через изменение параметров разделов в EBR
При этом сам скаттер обычно никто не меняет.
Способ исправления:
1. Принудительное форматирование с параметрами: Auto Format Flash и Format whole flash except Bootloader для того, чтобы инициализировать устройство. Полная инструкция есть в шапке в спойлере: «Как правильно отформатировать смартфон». И не забудьте сделать бэкап NVRAM (IMEI) заранее!
2. Полная прошивка через Download.
Дополнение:
В дополнение хочу ещё добавить информации по данной ошибке. Судя по всему, прошивка шьётся в режиме Firmware Upgrade и по идее разметка в аппарате не должна мешать работе FT, но тем не менее мешает. Причиной может быть битый, не подходящий либо не узнаваемый утилитой образ в папке с прошивкой.
Объясню значение «не узнаваемый». В прошивках для моего аппарата есть не «стандартный» образ (явление распространённое и на многих других аппаратах, особенно у бренда Lenovo) preload.img. Так вот, без добавления описания данного образа в CustPT.ini, утилита упорно не хочет видеть данный образ, вручную конечно добавляется, но шить не хочет (в любом режиме и при одинаковой разметке в теле и в новой прошивке) оповещая ошибкой «Unrecognized ROM detected».
