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».

Инструкция дополняется и обновляется.

(1003) S_COM_PORT_OPEN_FAIL

Спойлер

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). 
— Проблема в USB кабеле (помогает смена кабеля для прошивки).
— Проблема в USB-порту компьютера (помогает переподключение кабеля в другой порт).

(1011) S_NOT_ENOUCH_STORAGE_SPACE

Спойлер

Возникает когда размер какой-либо части прошивки превышает размер отведенного ему пространства (Обычно это блок ядра или рекавери). 
Иногда возникает на «сырых» версиях флештула, поэтому возможно поможет смена версии прошивальщика. Может возникнуть при прошивке неправильной версией прошивки, для другого объема памяти.

(1012) S_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY

Спойлер

Воспользуйтесь более свежей версией прошивальщика.

(1013) S_COM_PORT_OPEN_FAIL

Спойлер

— Ошибка по характеру и направленности аналогична ошибке 1003. Решения нужно искать по тому же принципу (см. 1003).
— Может помочь смена версии прошивальщика на v5. — Проблема решилась следующим образом: Options -> DA Download All -> Speed -> Full Speed (при выбранном режиме High Speed на моем компе появляется вышеописанная ошибка)

(1022) S_UNSUPPORTED_VER_OF_DA

Спойлер

Нужно использовать более новую версию SP FlashTool.

(1040) S_UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION

Спойлер

Scatter файл не подходит телефону. Например в названии присутствует 6577, а телефон на самом деле 6573

(1041) S_CHKSUM_ERROR

Спойлер

Ошибка проверочного файла. Удалить файл checksum.ini из папки с прошивкой и пробовать ещё раз прошиться.

(2004) S_BROM_DOWNLOAD_DA_FAIL

Спойлер

Ошибка записи DA загрузчика во внутреннюю память SRAM процессора.
Причины:
1. Проблема в соединении между FlashTool и BootROM.
2. Устройство могло неожиданно выключиться из-за низкой зарядки аккумулятора.
Действия:
1. Попробуйте еще раз.
2. Произведите проверку кабеля и разъема устройства на отсутствие повреждений.
3. Проверьте напряжение на аккумуляторе. Зарядите на зарядном устройстве аккумулятор. 4. Попробуйте прошить без аккумулятора.

(2005) S_BROM_CMD_STARTCMD_FAIL

Спойлер

Случаи возникновения ошибки:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. При выборе ReadBack, Format или MemoryTest. Надо подсоединить телефон в режиме BOOTROM.

(2020) S_BROM_CHKSUM16_MEM_RESULT_DIFF

Спойлер

Ошибка возникает при попытке записать загрузчик во внутреннюю SRAM процессора. Проблема во внутренней памяти, как следствие ошибка 16 бит. контрольной суммы.

(2035) S_BROM_CMD_JUMP_DA_FAIL

Спойлер

После нажатия кнопки Download попробуйте подключить к компьютеру выключенное устройство с предварительно зажатыми кнопками громкости.

(3001) S_DA_EXT_RAM_ERROR

Спойлер

Возможно проблемы с подключением. Проверьте кабель и/или переподключите кабель в другой порт.

(3012) NAND_FLASH_NOT_FOUND

Спойлер

Проблема связанная с определением флеш памяти устройства. Известные методы побороть данную проблему:

  1. Попробовать использовать разные версии прошивальщика, т.к. по мере выпуска разных версий обновляется и информация о флеш памяти.
  2. Попробовать прошить смартфон на другом компьютере, т.к. бывают софтовые проблемы, мешающие корректно определить память на конкретной машине.

(3013) S_DS_SOC_CHECK_FAIL

Спойлер

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

(3036) S_DA_INVALID_RANGE

Спойлер

Проблема заключается в том, что SP Flash Tool перед прошивкой сравнивает адрес PMT блока на флеше устройства со scatter файлом и находит разницу, почему и выдает ошибку. PMT блок создается динамически программой SP Flash Tool из scatter файла. Чтобы удалить/перезаписать PMT блок на новый из scatter файла необходимо сначала стереть его в девайсе, который вы хотите прошить. Для этого необходимо в программе SP Flash Tool нажать на кнопку «Format» (в открывшемся окне ничего не меняем, просто нажимаем ОК), далее нажимаем «Download» и SP Flash Tool запишет заново на флеш новые данные о PMT блоке и других тоже.

(3066) S_DA_HANDSET_FAT_INFO_NOT_FOUND

Спойлер

Возникает при автоматическом форматировании, следует попробовать установить адреса форматирования в ручную.

(3144) S_DA_EMMC_FLASH_NOT_FOUND

Спойлер

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.

(3148) S_DA_SDMMC_READ_FAILED

Спойлер

Ошибка возникает при попытке произвести запись в неисправную флешку.

(3149) S_DA_SDMMC_WRITE_FAILED

Спойлер

Проблема может быть аппаратная, например при вышедшей из строя флеш-памяти.

(3168) S_CHIP_TYPE_NOT_MATCH

Спойлер

Неверный scatter-файл. Используйте «родной» scatter файл от вашего устройства.  В телефоне установлен другой процессор.

(4001) S_FT_DA_NO_RESPONSE

Спойлер

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.

(4008) S_FT_DOWNLOAD_FAIL

Спойлер

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 (АКБ) и попробовать прошивку заново.
  • Также иногда может помочь форматирование устройства.

(4009) S_FT_READBACK_FAIL

Спойлер

Кроме ошибок чтения в самом телефоне такая же ошибка при ошибках в файловой системе ПК. Например не хватает места для файла или файл невозможно перезаписать, т.к. он залочен.  Для уточнения надо смотреть лог.

(4010) S_FT_FORMAT_FAIL

Спойлер

Ошибка форматирования флеш. Проверьте настройки формата.

(4032) S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL

Спойлер

— Проявляется если файл прошивки preloader не знает ROM-памяти установленной в Вашем смартфоне. Как правило это означает, что Вы купили смартфон из новой партии, в которой установлена память не учтенная на момент выпуска данной прошивки. Нужно найти прошивку новее или китайскую и использовать из нее preloader.

— Попробовать отформатировать телефон.
— Иногда нужно удалять и переустанавливать драйверы и делать форматирование повторно, и потом перепрошиваться если предыдущая попытка была неудачная.
— Если прошивка стандартным методом не приносит результата, то возможно придется прошивать аппарат через тестпоинт.

(4048) S_FT_MEMORY_TEST_FAIL

Спойлер

Встретилась ошибка 4048 при попытке проверки памяти через вкладку Memory test в SP Flash Tool. Симптомы поведения аппарата такие — телефон не загружается, постоянно перезагружается на заставке.

(4050) S_FT_NEED_DOWNLOAD_ALL_FAIL

Спойлер

Не совпадают размеры блоков в PMT и в скаттере. Надо искать в BROM_DLL логе строку: 

Часто бывает:

Спойлер

Partition 13 (USRDATA ) size changed from 0x0000000000000000 to 0x000000000B620000

Такая ошибка может возникнуть после кривого редактирования scatter во время лечения ошибки 8038. Лечится загрузкой через FT всех блоков, или только одного блока userdata, после этого размер в PMT должен поменяться на правильный. Вместо целого блока можно прошить userdata_nvram_only.img из своего бэкапа или файл пустышку. В scatter размера нет, поэтому сам SPFT рассчитывает размер USRDATA исходя из размеров флэш и места под BMTPOOL. А в таблицах PMT внутри тела размер блоков прописан и в данном случае кто-то или что-то туда прописало ноль. Для лечения этого случая можно переименовать в scatter USRDATA в __NODL_USRDATA … но тут может возникнуть ошибка 8038 из-за разницы в именах. В общем случае эта ошибка лечится прошивкой всех блоков, после этого размер в PMT должен поменяться на правильный.

(5002) S_INVALID_DA_FILE

Спойлер

При настройке SP Flash Tool — Download Agent нужно выбирать прилагающийся к данной версии прошивальщика. Выбор других агентов дает такую ошибку.

(5007) S_FTHND_FILE_IS_NOT_LOADED_YET

Спойлер

Данная ошибка «лечится» выбором другого метода прошивки Firmware Update -> Download.

(5054) S_DL_GET_DRAM_SETTINGS_FAIL

Спойлер

Иногда решается переустановкой драйверов.

(5066) S_DL_PC_BL_INVALID_GFH_FILE_INFOR

Спойлер

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) S_DL_PMT_ERR_NO_SPACE

Спойлер

Может возникнуть при физической неисправной памяти или флешка ушла в защиту (только чтение).

(6124) S_SECURITY_INVALID_PROJECT

Спойлер

Проблема решилась следующим образом: Options -> DA Download All -> Speed -> Full Speed (при выбранном режиме High Speed на моем компе появляется вышеописанная ошибка) и кстати метод еще сработал для ошибки 1013

(8038) SP FLASH TOOL ERROR

Спойлер

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.
Надо смотреть SP_FLASH_TOOL.log и искать в нем строку NOT MATCH

Спойлер

NandLayoutParameter::CompareIsNandLayoutMatched(): NOT MATCH: load item key(CUSTPACK2), value(0x3444000), target item key(CUSTPACK), value(0x3444000)

в данном примере надо в scatter заменить имя CUSTPACK2 на CUSTPACK. Если отличий несколько, то эта ошибка будет возникать пока scatter после внесенных исправлений не станет идентичен PMT. Можно сразу все исправить, если сравнить таблицы которые в логе чуть выше строки NOT MATCH. Первая из scatter, вторая из PMT телефона.  Надо чтоб все имена блоков в scatter были такие же как во второй таблице: PMT.jpg

Править scatter надо аккуратно! Меняйте только имена и сохраняйте исходное количество строк! 
Некоторые умудряются убрать перевод строки и строка с именем блока оказывается на одной строчке с фигурной скобкой. FT не видит этот блок и записывает PMT без него. Потом надо потратить усилия на восстановление этой таблицы! Еще один способ:
— Скачиваем последний mtkdroidtools
— Подключаем телефон и сохраняем карту блоков (сохранится 2 файла и один из них будет с именем PMP)
— Оставляем только PMP и переименовываем его в обычный вид скаттера
— Через него можно прошить любую прошивку без ошибки 8038 Для телефонов с новым типом scatter (MT6572/82/92 и более новых):
1. В данный момент применяется старый тип scatter и(или) старая версия FT, которая некорректно работает с новым scatter.
2. Ранее применялся старый тип scatter или неподходящая версия FT, которая изменила таблицу PMT внутри тела на таблицу старого типа. 
Используйте версию SP FT, которая понимает новый тип scatter и не используйте старые версии FT со старым типом scatter!
3. Имена или адреса блоков в scatter отличаются от таблицы внутри телефона (PMT)

(8045) SP FLASH TOOL ERROR

Спойлер

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.
Очень немногим помогла прошивка через кнопку DOWNLOAD со всеми установленными галочками.

(8200) SP FLASH TOOL ERROR

Спойлер

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.
