[Q] How to fix INVALID IME (MTK MT6589M) ??? - Reward for solution

[Q] How to fix INVALID IME (MTK MT6589M) ??? - Reward for solution - General Questions and Answers

Guys, lets solve this. I tried almost everything, so It's not going to be easy, but I don't want to think its impossible.
Lets begin, my phone (Intex Aqua i-5) doesn't recognize any SIM Card, IMEI is invalid and Baseband version Unknown . The problem occurred when I flashed wrong recovery, somehow I got it working again by removing battery for half an hour, and holding power key for a minute before that, then flashed proper CWM recovery again via MobileUncle Tool.
Phone does not charge when it is turned off. To make things worse I found out that my nandroid backup (stock backup) is damaged. Here is the log of files that i have (boot.img and recovery.img are missing - problem with online nandorid backup script).
Files Backed-up:
"----rwxr-x 1 11264 Dec 8 02:21 cache.ext4.tar
----rwxr-x 1 530526720 Dec 8 02:21 data.ext4.tar
----rwxr-x 1 1024 Dec 8 02:18 modem.img
----rwxr-x 1 191 Dec 8 02:22 nandroid.md5
----rwxr-x 1 553781248 Dec 8 02:19 system.ext4.tar"
So obviusly when i try to restore it , since files are missing it gives me an error at the begging.
This is IMPORTANT: Cant recover IMEI via PC (my usb port is broken (charging part is working but cant connect to PC, pins for data transfer are damaged). So IT'S NOT AN OPTION.
But can transfer files from PC to Phone - Wifi transfer.So need to recover IMEI trough phone! (there is numerous methods I've tried, gonna list them below).
1. Engineer mode, - CDS info, Radio info, AT COMMAND - AT+EGMR=1,7,"1234567890XXX15" (tried variations with empty space before AT or before + , not working, gives me an error "AT command failed at sent ".
2. Tried to generate original IMEI on the computer with different "cmd IMEI generators" , write it to MP0B_001 file, transfer to phone, set permissions for it, transfer it to data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI and replace file at destination with custom one (tried next variations of this: all this but at the and making IMEI backup with MobileUncle Tools and restoring it, also tried different MP0B_001 generators, different permissions, tried deleting original file in NVD_IMEI folder first, then copying new one, etc). --- NO SUCCESS.
3. Tried MTK65xx apk software for changing IMEI , NO SUCCESS. - got error msg: "pttycmd1 device NOT found!" (eventualy i figured out how to make pttycmd1 file in dev folder, more about that at next line).
4. Figured out that I can create pttycmd1 at dev folder. Done that by Installing terminal emulator in the phone, writing for SIM 1 line of code: echo AT+EGMR=1*7*“my original IMEI number” >/dev/pttycmd1 and for SIM 2 this line: echo AT+EGMR=1*10*“my original IMEI2 number” >/dev/pttycmd1- AND VOILA pttycmd1 is created in dev folder, that should be solution according to many people, but after reboot, pttycmd1 is missing again, and sure IMEI is still INVALID. (tried different permissions for pttycmd1 file and even dev folder but regardless of it after reboot there is no pttycmd1 file anymore)
5. Someone suggested that after deleting nvram folder system will create new automatically and that will fix IMEI, first part is happening, system creates new folder with everything in it but no IMEI or Baseband or anything.
6. Someone posted modem images with meta inf for flashing on every MT6589M phone, successfully flashed different versions but no luck.
7. Stock ROM will be solution I believe but there is no STOCK ROM for my phone on the net, except one versionjust for SP flash tool, and my nandorid stock backup doesn't work , started another thread HERE in hope someone will upload stock ROM for my phone that is flashable with cwm.
I probably tried few other things but cant recall now.
My phone is rooted, there is custom ROM on it. (MIUI V5 FOR INTEX AQUA I-5 ). And CWM recovery for this ROM. ((CWM v5.5.0.4 ).
I will give little reward to someone with the right WORKING solution via PayPal (10 € / Euro), its all I can give at the moment.

hi,
did you check here ?? http://www.needrom.com/category/others/i-j-k-l/intex-i-j-k-l/
you may find a rom for your phone. maybe you can use another computer to Flash. good luck.

Hey and Salam everybody,
important note: i am taking no responsibility if your phone dies or what so ever. do wipe reset your phone through stock recovery before proceeding. only use the softwares i provided. and also only email me if you run into problems using the softwares i provided. and please wipe data reset ur phone before proceeding. all the softwares are in my dropbox
This is my first ever post so make sure if you get your problem solved i would very much appreciate that you help others too.
All the credit goes to rua1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=5119815)
I bought the phone a month back and spent 3 weeks trying to root this MTK6575 Chipset.
You can only root this phone through test point from PMT method. Google test point and pmt for more information.
Attached a pic showing a test point cable . people having knowledge of modding 360 will know what a pmt is. its pogo mo thoin. but for phone its bit different.
first of all turn your phone on and connect it to mtkdroidtools and then make scatter of it. and save it for future use . picture attach. clik blocks map and then click create scatter.
its better to go into stock recovery and wipe data reset and wipe cache. take your sim cards out and your memory card. you dont need them.
my phone details.
Model Number : A2
Android version : 2.3.6
Baseband Version: MAUI.11AMD.W11.50.SP.V14.P2, 2012/09/07 10:26
Kernal Version: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #1 Thu Oct 11 13:41:54 HKT 2012
Build Number : ALPS.GB2.MP.v2.2
Custom Build Version : S8035S_PP_F1_PK_1.06_V3
Files you need:
1 Drivers For MTK6575 - Qmobile A2 V3
2 Google ADB Latest
3 MTK Droid Tools
4 Smart Phone Flash Tools
5 Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed
you can find all these files in my dropbox
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/3wjle4gfu9ekc2x/2Y2f1yuZlE
install drivers for mtk6575
open flash tools and select scatter loading. select the scatter MT6575_Android_scatter that was made earlier and click ok. go to second tab in flash tools. now your in read back tab. click add. save the file titled rom_1 in the extracted mkt droid tools folder. then select hex and read page only . in start address write 0x0000000000000000 and in length 0x10da0000 < this is the address of cache in scatter and your might be different depending on the date you bought the phone.
click ok
now click read back plug in the usb cable with no battery in and just touch the needle with the test point in pic. it will start reading back. once it completes it will give you green circle.
now go to mtkdroidtools and open mtkdroidtools.exe turn on your phone normally and let the tools detect the phone. once it detects you will see different information on main screen. now goto second tab (root, backup, recovery) and click " to process file ROM_ from flash tool" at this point locate the file rom_1 you just saved in rom folder of extracted mtk droid tools. once you give it the location it will start processing. it will ask you if you want it to automatically make cwm ? click yes once the process gets complete you will have multiple files in
\MTK Droid Tools\MtkDroidTools\backups\A2_121030_ForFlashtoolFromReadBack_130415-104113
your folder name will be different depending on date and time.
inside the folder you will have lots of files. the file you need to flash will be A2_121030__recovery_130415-104113 again the numbers at the end of the file depends on your date and time.
now again open spflash tools on the main screen select scatter loading. locate this folder.
\MTK Droid Tools\MtkDroidTools\backups\A2_121030_ForFlashtoolFromReadBack_130415-104113
open the scatter and uncheck all boxes . check only one box that says recovery. double click on and find this file.
A2_121030__recovery_130415-104113
its in \MTK Droid Tools\MtkDroidTools\backups\A2_121030_ForFlashtoolFromReadBack_130415-104113
now click download ignore the warning take the battery out insert the usb cable and make sure to touch the test point after u click download . note that from this method ur phone is in bootrom mode. if everything is successfull youll get a green circle.
you might get errors and for that your scatter must be edited for example adding __NODL_ before CACHE in scatter. if that doesnt work then you might have to add __NODL_ before USRDATA and if still ur gettin error well then email me.
now to test recovery press both vol+ and vol- button at the same time and hit power . go into recovery by pressing vol+. and you have cwm on your phone. now the first and most important thing take backup and save it,
its also better to stay into recovery and open mtk droid tools and make bakcup by going into second tab.
after that put Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed on ur sd to flash through cwm
now flash superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed through cwm
turn on your phone and see if you have superuser on ur home screen
open super user and grant permission and voila your rooted go to info tab and check for updates
thats it your phones rooted.
if i helped you then press thank
in the attachment you can see the cable i made. make yours the same way
UPDATE: SPFT and MTKDROIDTOOLS update versions have been put in dropbox.
again if you encounter pmt layout changed or other errors then email me so i can help you gettin rid of errors with editing the scatter. [email protected]

[Q] Formatted NVRAM using SP Flash Tool, what should I do?

Phone: Cherry Mobile Titan (Rebrand of Konka w990/Spice-mi 500/Axioo Picopad GEW)
Processor: MTK6577
Hello guys, this is my first post as I could no longer find any solution on the internet. Hoping some experts could help
I accidentally formatted the NVRAM of my phone using SP Flash Tool. The new update didn't have the option not to format it. Now my IMEI's are lost. Although it is still possible to restore them using some methods. But none of the methods I have found were permanent. A simple wipe/data factory reset from CWM Recovery removes it instantly. Is there a way I could restore the NVRAM, or at least make the restoration methods permanent?
Thanks in advance guys!
EDIT: I tried flashing all available ROMs (SP Flash Tool Based / Flashable Zips) but still it shows an invalid IMEI. I also tried restoring a backup of my stock ROM to no avail.

hey guys .at this picture error how can i solve this error?
h t t p : / /u1306.hizliresim.com/1b/l/p975s.jpg

first, you`ll need to root your device. refer to here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332783
follow the tutorial step by step, if you brick your device i will laugh at you. if you got questions, ask them before doing random stuff.
if you got it rooted, you can recover your IMEI with different software. i will link one in this post later.
for questions - use this thread or PM me.

I think your phone is dead. Is the phone detected when you plug it in to your pc via USB?

phone isn't dead. root it first, recovering imei is easy then. cannot explain more, im on smartphone right now.
sent from my Star N9770 using XDA App

so, here is a tool to generate the IMEI`s of your smartphone. you will usually find them in the back of your device. push the generated file to /data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/ and DON'T FORGET TO SET FULL RWX rights. (with ADB, cd to the mentined folder and set MP0B_001 with chmod to mode 777, in root explorer just check every box for read write and execute. otherwise phone cannot read the IMEI.

What a lame answers. Especially ones suggesting to root phone.
They guy clearly told he is able to restore MP0B_001 in phone, but its SOFT-IMEI and is lost after wipe/factory reset.
@ Original question by ToldarkenHansam, which is kinda outdated, but considering lame answers here:
To restore HARD-IMEI in NVRAM hidden partition use SN Write Tool or Maui META 3G. They are able to write hard IMEI and calibration to NVRAM partition.
@ kokabunga - if you have nvram.bin backup you can easily resore it with SP Flash Tool. Just open your scatter file with any text editor, find a __NODL_NVRAM section and remove __NODL_ part from it. Reopen scatter in SP Flash Tool and you'll be able to check NVRAM partition.
It might not be able to upload it without other parts selected. But you can you Options->Write memory, then manually enter start address, which will be show on download/upgrade page near NVRAM and length (your nvram.bin length) - that will always work. Be careful to write correct address thou.
Sidenote: all suggested methods before only touch SOFT-IMEI, stored in /data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/MP0B_001. Its lost with any wipe/reset, because whole /data partition are formatted. Then the whole /data/nvram directory (if it's empty) are restored from hidden NVRAM partition on EMMC. If you've corrupted your NVRAM when it won't restore correct IMEI ofc. With all methods mentioned above (i.e. replacing MP0B_001, echoing to pttycmd1, using mtkdroidtools, mobileuncletools and others) will only edit MP0B_001, i.e. soft copy of IMEI, which will be lost again with next hardware reset. Sure you restore your IMEI that way every time you wipe/reset/upgrade firmware. But its more solid to fix your IMEI partition with SN Write Tool / Maui META 3G so it will be correctly restored automatically from NVRAM at every wipe/etc.
EDIT: @Chrizzly92 this software are very outdate. It generates 24 byte MP0B_001 file, used by old MT6573/6513 platforms. Newer 6575/6577 uses 120 bytes MP0B_001 which are different. If you put 24 byte MP0B_001 generated instead from imei.c software, your phone will be buggy and will be constantly loosing IMEI every few hours until reboot. It's better to use MtkDroidTools or terminal method (echoing to /dev/pttycmd1) to correctly restore 120 byte IMEI file.

n9770, mt6577, no problem at all with the generated files.

NStorm, thanks for your awesome explanation.
I do not fully understand the nvbin flashing part.
I also have a backup I believe, but I am unsure.
I do have a proper nvram backup, so the proper files that are overwritten on flash.
With SP flash tool I get error 8038 when trying to flash.
Firmware upgrade is not working either even with all partitions.
I tried to remove __NODL__ from the nvram to fix it, but no luck.
Can you explain how to make that imei file and flash it with dd command or anything?
Would be awesome to get this problem fixed!
thank you
[update]guess what, you can do it with mtk droid tools 2.4.8 too!
I tried that before, but I used a backup I made after the issue.
Found an older one and it seems to work![/update]

guys..for permanent nvram, imei error or invalid use sn write tools.
mine solve a long ago..please read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2206421

Note: I'll not take any responsibility for any damage, warranty void to your phone
1. Download SP Flas Tools - find it in xda or Google..
2. Download this ROM : This is backup ROM porting to my android device kindly remove in-necessary applications. As it's ready to flash via SP FLASH Tools so basically it'll be straight forward thing. Link here :

3. Extract the file using 7zip. Then extract the ZIP file inside.
4. Open SP_Flash_Tools.. select the extracted files earlier and select the scatter file.
5. Everything will be pick automatically.
6. Take your phone battery. Press start and wait "Searching" and connect your Phone (without battery) using USB.
7. Make sure you have the driver. Installed the driver if necessary.
8. Wait until you get "Doughnut" OK button. Warning : Never disconnect the cable during this operation as it'll brick your phone forever.
9. Once, OK. please disconnect your cable. Put the battery into the phone.
10. Make sure the battery at-least 80% before you perform the CWM steps.
Good Luck! If you need any further guide please revert here.. I'll try to create another 'empty' ROM after this if there is a request. Thanks.

Hi there..
before perform any update please... and please backup your ROM.. that's the reason "MTKdroidtools" being develop.
Use the application to gain "temp" root to able you to get the image files.
Then create SP Flash ready files from the backup image files.
If you don't have the backup ROM don't be hesitate to search it in google and XDA forum.. if your phone is "unique" please ask your friend. Loan the phone for a few minutes to make a backup images.

if you have CWM backup so you can install CWM on your phone and make a backup of current OS, then put the CWM backup in it and restore it.
if you have MTK Droid tools backup then you first make a flash able backup by choosing MD5 file from the backup. then it makes a new folder !file_to_flashtools . this is your flash able backup with scatter file.
Open MTK flashtools and select the scatter file and choose download or upgrade firmware which you like. connect the PC with battery or without battery , choose the options for battery.
make sure your android adb interface driver and preloader driver and cdc drivers are installed ?
how to install drivers ?
on your phone and select development and check debugging option and connect with PC. PC install drivers automatically if you have windows 7 . stop that process and install drivers manually . second time switch off your device put the battery out for 15 sec and put it again but no phone on. just off mode. connect with pc and install its preloader driver. Now press the power button continuously on phone device its ask for CDC drivers. install it and now your drivers are done.

What a lame answers. Especially ones suggesting to root phone.
They guy clearly told he is able to restore MP0B_001 in phone, but its SOFT-IMEI and is lost after wipe/factory reset.
@ Original question by ToldarkenHansam, which is kinda outdated, but considering lame answers here:
To restore HARD-IMEI in NVRAM hidden partition use SN Write Tool or Maui META 3G. They are able to write hard IMEI and calibration to NVRAM partition.
@ kokabunga - if you have nvram.bin backup you can easily resore it with SP Flash Tool. Just open your scatter file with any text editor, find a __NODL_NVRAM section and remove __NODL_ part from it. Reopen scatter in SP Flash Tool and you'll be able to check NVRAM partition.
It might not be able to upload it without other parts selected. But you can you Options->Write memory, then manually enter start address, which will be show on download/upgrade page near NVRAM and length (your nvram.bin length) - that will always work. Be careful to write correct address thou.
Sidenote: all suggested methods before only touch SOFT-IMEI, stored in /data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/MP0B_001. Its lost with any wipe/reset, because whole /data partition are formatted. Then the whole /data/nvram directory (if it's empty) are restored from hidden NVRAM partition on EMMC. If you've corrupted your NVRAM when it won't restore correct IMEI ofc. With all methods mentioned above (i.e. replacing MP0B_001, echoing to pttycmd1, using mtkdroidtools, mobileuncletools and others) will only edit MP0B_001, i.e. soft copy of IMEI, which will be lost again with next hardware reset. Sure you restore your IMEI that way every time you wipe/reset/upgrade firmware. But its more solid to fix your IMEI partition with SN Write Tool / Maui META 3G so it will be correctly restored automatically from NVRAM at every wipe/etc.
EDIT: @Chrizzly92 this software are very outdate. It generates 24 byte MP0B_001 file, used by old MT6573/6513 platforms. Newer 6575/6577 uses 120 bytes MP0B_001 which are different. If you put 24 byte MP0B_001 generated instead from imei.c software, your phone will be buggy and will be constantly loosing IMEI every few hours until reboot. It's better to use MtkDroidTools or terminal method (echoing to /dev/pttycmd1) to correctly restore 120 byte IMEI file.

your method of writing memory manually worked for me to bring back my /dev/radio folder and its contents, still cwmr write my imei though

[Q] Rooting Tinji GT-i9220 MT6575

Hello together,
i've tried to root my new Tinji GT-i9220 with an MT6575 processor but im stuck.
Im 100% sure that i installed the drivers right.
First i have tried most of the one click tools without any noticeable success.
Than i followed this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923764) tutorial.
On my phone there are no mmcblk's but mtd's so the so i saved the scatter file generated by MTK Rom Studio (for some reason it suggest MT6573_Android_scatter instead of 6575) without the "_emmc" at the end.
Because of the missing "_emmc" i have to choose between 4 different Read Methods when reading the boot and recovery.img from the phone
"Read Page + Spare", "Read Page Only", "Read Spare Only" and "Read Page With ECC".
The Files created by "Read Page + Spare" and "Read Spare Only" produces error messages when TWRP or MKTDroidTools try to modify the files.
The "Read Page Only" and "Read Page With ECC" files pass through TWRP fine, but when im trying to upload the modified recovery.img to the phone in SP Flash Tool i get the Following Error:
BROM ERROR : S_DA_DRAM_NOT_SUPPORT (3004)
[H/W] The handset doesn't support DRAM. Please ask for help.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And here i am asking for help
Is it correct to choose "Read Page Only" while reading the files from the phone?
Does anyone know what else i can try to get the phone rooted?
Let me thank you for any help in advance.
Ohh before i forget here are a few specs from the phone and software versions i use

If you need any further information i just ask.

Another question i've made a backup of every mtd on the phone, but if i load the scatter file SP Flash Tool throws the error
BROM ERROR : S_DL_PC_BL_INVALID_GFH_FILE_INFO (5066)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
for the DSP BL and Preloader.
Does anyone have an idea why?

Problem solved
Okay i solved my problems, had to remove some empty bytes from DSP_BL and Preloader files to get SP Flash Tool to load them correctly.
After that i found out that i had to take the yaffs2 images i've created with the "Read Page and Spare" option and then delete a bunch of bytes to make them readable for unyaffs once unyaffs was able to read them i was able to flash them to the phone.
After i managed to boot again, rooting the phone was kinda easy, i know that some people also have problems rooting exactly this phone so if anyone is interested i could upload a prerooted rom without the preinstalled chinese apps.
Is there an option to mark a question as solved?

Not for me. I have the same problem !

Hey,
I have got the same problem but with another phone, it is a clone S3 mini with MK6575.
I get a similar error when I try to load the preloader and dsp_bl which I have generated with another exactly same type.
Currently my phone is dead, I can just comunicate with the SP flash tool but til now I can't make it work again.
These are the data extracted from the phone:

How have you solved the problem with the preloader and dsp_bl ?
(I had a look to your files and they are very similar, if not exactly the same, to mine)
Thanks a lot in advance for any help in the stuff !

Basicly i just looked at the files i have generated with SP Flash Tools and the ones of other MTK6575 phones in an hex editor.
Ive noticed that all i all the other preloader files started with the same "MMM" string, so i just deleted anything in front of the first occuring of "MMM" in my preloader file. I also had to remove a bunch of bytes at the end of both files but i dont remember how i figured out how many
I could look at the files and maybe tell you more when im done with work

Partially solved but still problems

I tried to remove the bytes before the "MMM" and some tentative removing others at the end but I did not succeeded in the ingestion of the preloader and dsp_bl files into the SP Flash Tools. On the other hand, I have processed the files with MTK Studio Pro and now the ingestion does not create problems. The phone now can at least boot in the recovery mode (for some reason not in the download mode), SP Flash Tools can see the nand and transfer the files.
However, I'm getting problems with other files, "sec_ro", "fat", "system" (or "android"), "cache" and "usrdata" when downloading (or update firmware).:crying:
The error is "s_ft_nand_readlen_not_page_alignment".
I tried to read the files again many times, also with different format page, spare, etc... with the other working phone obtaining the same error.
Any suggestion ?

-press enter
-A black window will appear with writing
-Enter the following text:
imei.exe <15digit_IMEI_1> <15digit_IMEI_2>
You can use a valid IMEI or IMEI generator to generate random IMEI's using this toolhttp://www.4shared.com/file/zhEXB80K/uig.html
(eg: imei.exe 123456789111111 123456789111111)
4. Press Enter
If both IMEI you gave are in correct format the file named MP0B_001_NEW will
be created. Now you can put it on the sd and insert that in to the phone.

I WHOLE formatted my Cherry Mobile Fuze Q390 (MT6582) with SP Flash Tool. Then I flashed the official firmware of this device with SP Flash Tool. I don't have any backups because I am reverting to stock. Now the phone works fine but it does NOT detect the SIM card. Also, the IMEI is shown as "INVALID" for both SIM slots when I input *#06#. When I try to fix IMEI from MTK Droid Tools it shows (ERROR : pttycmd1 device NOT found!). Also, MTK Droid Tools shows (Baseband V -----). I am sure the problem is that when I formatted the phone it wiped the NVRAM region too. So the device has no baseband or radio files right not and also the data/nvram/md folder has nothing in it. Although, WiFI still works perfectly except the annoying NVRAM Warning that I kept on seeing when ever that I wanted to connect to a network. Now the official firmware of Cherry Mobile Fuze Q390 does not contain any nvram.bin file. It does contain the BPLGU file but I can't seem to modify IMEI with SN Write Station, Maui META 3G, IMEI&SN Writer V1.5.3 and etc. I tried using the MTK Engineering mode mode also and tried to write it using the AT+ code but it keeps on saying failed to send command. Probably the SN Write Station, Maui META 3G, IMEI&SN Writer V1.5.3 and etc. only modify the IMEI when the baseband or radio files are already present on the phone. So I think the only way out for me is to flash a nvram.bin using SP Flash Tool or Flash nvram.bin+nvram.tar to MTK Droid Tools which I don't have. Any ideas whether I am on the track or not? If I am, then how can I get the IMEI back on my phone. As you people can see that I have tried a lot of things, so please suggest/advice accordingly and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try using another phone's nvram.bin, which is illegal and modify the IMEI with SN Write Station or any other tools to correspond with that of your phone.

1. check your baseband with mtkdroidtool if it null,you just only use flashtool format it (whole flash) and up rom again,your baseband will return,imei still null.Now you can use mtkdroidtool to re-write your imei,or use Imei & SN writer tool for hard imei.
2.if you still have baseband,just can not write imei throw mtkdroidtool -> just use Imei & SN writer,please install full driver for your mtk devices, include cdc driver

I've tried all the other software like the IMEInSe writer, the MauiMeta 3g, MTK droid tools... none of them worked. But the method mentioned above worked for me.... now there wasn't any NVRAM error in the wireless notification.... The simcard can register to the network as well... this is flawless...
just to share... CPU version showed by the software was MT6572, but if i boot it in factory mode, it tells me its MT6589... I do not know which one is the right one, but the above methods worked for me.... Samsung S4 Korean (clone 1:1) mediatek. running JB Android 4.2.2..

Stuck in download mode!!

Today i decided to root my D800 but i had the 20u version and had to downgrade. After downloading the .tot and .DLL files along with LG Flash Tool i ran it and added the files where they needed to be added.
Well after i changed the COM port and it finally started i heard my PC disconnect something... well it was my phone. What shocks me i have a perfectly good USB cable and it shouldn't have fallen out or anything. Well i ignored it thinking it was my Bluetooth dongle because it always reconnects for some reason.
Well when i checked on my phone again the phone's display said COM 41 but was at 0% and the flash tool was at 10% saying 'PRIMARYGP'
Well here is what the last 4 lines in the log says
Code:
[21:28:55] Partition erase Success
[21:28:55] Set Progress bar 10
[21:28:55] PRIMARYGPT
[21:28:55] Start Write "PRIMARYGPT" partition
[21:31:44] Clear ALL NV Instance of NV Storage Current Storage size=36744
[21:31:44] Successfully Clear NV Storage
I attempted to do this a couple other times and it always freezes right at that point. I look all over and found nothing relating to this issue. I tried the stock recovery and it only goes back to download mode. I tried everything but it's stuck in download mode.
I attached the log file to the post if this could help any
::::::::::::::::::::::UPDATE::::::::::::::::::::::
I put the DLL to the root of the flash tool folder and it got a step futher saying MODEM
Code:
[ 2:33: 8] Finish Write "PRIMARYGPT" partition Written 524288 bytes
[ 2:33: 8] MODEM
[ 2:33: 8] Start Write "MODEM" partition
[ 2:37:14] Clear ALL NV Instance of NV Storage Current Storage size=36744
[ 2:37:14] Successfully Clear NV Storage
Then it froze again. I got a step further but what could be doing this. I'd prefer to fix this myself rather than send it in for a repair (considering i never actually rooted it..) I'm about to try a new .DLL and see if that work.
