please I have the problem.how to solve these problems
Follow the instructions in the post above and you\’ll get it solved!
The firmware you are trying to flash is bigger than your phone's partitions.
Verify that you are flashing your phone's exact firmware, or download a different ROM.

My phone refuses to power on, after using format in sp flash tool
After formatting your phone in SP Flashtool, you will have to flash a new firmware else it won't boot.

0+ 8.38 dead boot after flashing any stock rom.. please help.
Did you flash the correct stock ROM?
Also, can your PC still detect the phone in device manager?
Thanks a million! you indeed helped me a lot by poting this helpful tutorial. May your tribe increase!!!
😉 Glad you find it useful!
I tried the steps for fixing PMT error in then flashed and then my phone is not coming up
I don\’t think you have the correct firmware for your device. What\’s the device model?
Thanks allot dude… As u said after Formatting… all is well !!
Nice work man, keep it up, i really apprecoate your work
Flashed my phone but it only vibrates and doesn\’t power on
did the flashing process complete with a success message?
The flashing process complete with a success message, yes. After I disconnect my phone from pc and try to turn it on, it won\’t open. What will I do?
That could be as a result of low battery before flashing, or you flashed a bad firmware.
Connect the phone to charge and see if any light shows up, and also check if it is detected in device manager on your PC.
Every time flashing completed successfully .
But on format the error shows is \”BROM ERROR: S_DL_READ_PT_FAIL(0X13D1) \”Please help!
Phone is now not power on
I formated whole flash and now when i try to format again i receive an error s_da_nand_unknown_error.
Try flashing the rom and see if you get an error response.
Thanks it working perfectly and quickly
Thanks for leaving a feedback!
thank you very good
You welcome!
I\’m very grearful for your support it worked thanks alot
Thanks a lot. It worked for me.
After formatting and flashing rom, my phone now wont turn on or even vibrate. but the pc still read it. help please lenovo a328
Hello,after formatting my gionee p8w,my phone won\’t power on pls help.
Hi Isaac. After using the format option, you\’re supposed to flash your device with its stock firmware, else it will be stuck at boot or might not even display boot screen at all.
But you should be able to access fastboot/flashmode to flash the firmware.
When I try to install a recovery in my Micromax A106 it shows the same error(PMT CHANGED), but I can\’t format my firmware because I don\’t want to change firmware I just want to install custom recovery in the same firmware.
I\’ll advice that you backup your phone\’s data, then perform a factory reset from your phone\’s Settings panel.
After that, try flashing the recovery again. If the same error comes up, it means you don\’t have any other option but to install a fresh firmware with the new recovery.
If you need further assistance, feel free to post.
Yes,
it worked 100 %
Thank you
if BROM ERROR: S_BROM_CMD_STARTCMD_FAIL(2005) appear try the MTK drivers from this link hope it helps. it work for me 😀

Try flashing from a different PC and USB cable. If possible, remove phone battery before connecting USB cable during flashing.
Thanks, it´s working
Nice, you are really helping people, good job !!
Thanks for the kind words Marko ?… I\’m glad you think so!
Hey I have tried eac & every possibility mentioned here, but still not able to turn on the phone.
Battery was charged sufficiently.
Flashed correct stock rom.
SP Flash tool displays success message.
But no success.
Kindly help me to resolve the issue.
What was the actual fault of your device?
Initially I got the notification message for Corrupted Internal memory, and system was asking to format internal hard disk. This run for at least a week, then suddenly on during a call, I was getting popup messages for system force closing every application & mobile turned off then after.
It was rebooting to logo nothing else.
Then I followed all the steps mentioned in this article and the result is not in favor.

Your phone should be turned off while running SP Flashtool. How come such message pops up on powered off device?
In your firmware folder cut the user data then load the skater file again then click format all plus download
Really helped and solved my problem. Thank you.

What tablet is that? Did you try reinstalling USB drivers?
