Can someone help me unpacking a boot image(Can't seem to post a link on this page). The boot image for the phone Symphony i97. I have extracted it using spd research tool. But can't seem to unpack it. But this file isn't corrupted that is for sure. Any kind of help is appreciated.

Wondering if someone could help. I have a Timmy E82 Android 4.3 MTK MT6582 device and been unable to fully root it with any tools, due to /system refusing to mount. My device is true 4.3 it seems.
I'm using:
SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1332.0.187
MTK Droid tools v2.5.1
I made completed all the steps to get a scatter, it created a patched recovery, which I renamed to recovery.img and put both the scatter and the recovery in the same folder.
But then I'm getting error 8038.
Reading here: http://www.phcorner.net/threads/fix-...sh-tool.64302/
And a few other places it suggests the issue is a mis match in the scatter file. What is it I need to modify in the scatter to get it working so I can flash a custom recovery? I honestly don't know what value the SP log is e
Also I read the pre-loader needs to be able to in the same folder, as the scatter and recovery, does also also need to be ticked during the custom recovery flashing process?
Please see my attached scatter file and log with SP tools.

For Pure time consumption reasons, this guide may take me a while to complete, however the steps above should give you a rough idea of how everything is going to be written...
To start with, the information is so much at once, that I've made a video to help people go along with it...
The video is in 2 parts & in English... Please watch these first, that'll cover about everything in the steps except a few things like compilation of extracted IMG files.
The second video should be watched after the first video, so I've put that link in the description of video 1.

OK... Now you've seen the instructions, you can work through extracting every partition you'll need for a firmware backup.... You don't need all of them !
After that, Copy the following files (you should now have them all ) to a new folder called Stock Firmware for SP Flash Tool ..
boot.img
cache.img
lk.img
logo.img
preloader.bin
recovery.img
secro.img
system.img
trustzone.bin or .img
userdata.img
MT*****_Android_scatter.txt
Now you need to edit the Scatter file using NotePad++ or another program that won't wreck line endings... Word pad & Notepad will wreck line endings and destroy the scatter file.
Edit the scatter file to now have the correct file names, eg.....
preloader_******_njh_gjb_.bin TO preloader.bin - The same as your copied file name.
boot_example_mt.img TO boot.img - The name of the file for boot.
Now the scatter file, Image's & Preloader should be all together...
ZIP the folder to remove empty space in .img files, Shrink the Firmware to a Zip file.....
You just need to extract the zip file and open the scatter file in SP Flash Tool v5.16+ .. Then select Download to do a firmware installation.
I will edit this guide in time, however I just wanted to get out how I do this on my MTK Device's... People keep asking me how to do it, so I released the video and this extra information for them... I don't make money on YouTube so everything here is provided free & I don't make any money from helping !!! Sorry about the terrible audio !
I'm trying to make a flashable zip for TWRP to install a Lenovo Z6 Pro stock ROM. I create the .zip file with Boot, System and Vendor (I'd add the rest of the firmware later). Boot and Vendor are installed but system.img is not installed. I know that I could use .dat files but I'm specially interested on using the image files.
I took as template another ROM which uses .IMG files too with the function 'package_extract_file'. I just replaced the .IMG files making sure that the names are exactly the same, and also I'm sure that my system.img is raw. When I try to install the flashable zip from recovery it prompts the uiprint "Patching system unconditionally" but nothing is installed and skips directly to patch the vendor partitions which is successfully patched.
Any help or clue will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
just a quick quetion guys. I downloaded Sp Flash tools because I want to try to unbrick my old acer tablet.
When I download Sp Flash tools from spflashtool.com I unpack the zip file and click on assistant.exe I get
error messages saying that QtSql4.dll, QtWebkit4.dll, QtHelp4.dll, QtXml4.dll are missing.
What the hell is wrong? Can someone give me a working link to SpFlash tool?
If the mentioned DLL-files are housed in the ZIP-file then copy these into folder C:\Windows\System32
