How do I flash a SP tool backed-up rom? - General Questions and Answers

https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ick-instructions.4337339/page-6#post-86996673 someone posted
X7Max A14 Firmware Backup Files (Backed up through SP Flash Tool) here
BACKUP_FLASH.7z
drive.google.com
And I have no idea how to flash it, tho there's a guide in that thread, I think it's not for flashing a backed up rom.
AFAIK, those backed up files has to be converted using some tools or something to make it flashable? Just give me a little clue.

Just bumping one last time, won't happen again.

read back from SP Flash Tool is done by specifying start address + length for region EMMC_USER and can be written to EMMC_USER same way (assuming you pass mediatek secure boot with proper download agent and auth_sv5.auth file)
if you have one single big file, you can create scatter file and split into partitions with WwR MTK v2.51
there exist another alternative tool for SP Flash Tool called mtkclient, but I never used.

The same thread did have a guide it says
"Unpack and copy your backup ROM_ files in this folder
- Choose scatter from this folder in SP Flash Tools
- Uncheck SECCFG (ROM_20) and flash ( Dont forget use MTKbypass utility and check port)
- After Flashig again go EDL mode and flash only SECCFG (ROM_20)
- Maybe need Format Data in Recovery
- Done"
What he/she meant by EDL mode? Mediatek doesn't have edl mode. Needs a bit clarification

Never mind

why do you want flash SECCFG? Do you know what SECCFG is for?

Judging by your reply, It got confusing pretty fast I guess
I can't get any clearer than this, how do I flash these files in screenshot? Simply select scatter and auth sv5 and all in one signature.bin and hit flash? Off course after using mtkauthbypass

unless you have some assignment (maybe img_list.txt file) files are useless because file names do not reflect partition names. for example what is partition name of ROM_33?
edit: assuming scatter file assign the ROM files automatically
- select all_in_one_signature.bin, and auth_sv5.auth (no bypass needed)
- uncheck preloader, seccfg, metadata, userdata (must not flashed)
- select "Download only"
- start "Download"
- connect phone (must powered off)

[Guide | Tutorial] Change Boot Logo of Samsung device without Root access!

This is j7108's
is from 5.1.1 but should can use in 6.0.1 as well:
https://mega.nz/#!nNkliAQb!VvopPnS5Zkk15Mhlikaixmg6zWbhyfS_xXe2unSmRqo
Boot Logo =/= Boot animation
Tool you need:
Windows Pc : 7zip, Odin, maybe a linux OS as well
Please note that I'm not responsible if you brick your device, flash back original BL_{firmware version}.tar.md5 to unbrick it
1. You need to get BL_{firmware version}.tar.md5 from your stock firmware, I get from SmartSwitch/Kies which has 4 .tar.md5 files
If your stock firmware consist of only 1, you might can extract it, not entirely sure how. Do share in the comment if you know.
2. You should open BL_{firmware version}.tar.md5 inside linux environment and modify param.bin because the tar contain permission information
Inside param.bin contain Logo.jpg which you can replace it
(rename the param.bin to param.tar so you can open it, after replace the picture, check the permission, tar it, rename it back to param.bin)
Note: The order(cm, sboot then param) and the permission inside the tar is extremely important. Once messed you will brick your phone

}
Please share your method how to pack tar on Windows as well. I don't know how to set the permission in windows.
3. Once done repack the 3 files to anynameBL.tar note the .md5 is not needed. If you want to use .tar.md5, Odin need to verify it and it need extra steps
I apologies for lack of linux knowledge, I can't provide comprehensive method. All these steps are simplest possible approach.
We are almost done, now before you flash the Bootloader that you just repack, you need to make sure Frp Lock(if your phone has this feature) is OFF else you will brick your device.
To close Frp Lock, enable Developer Options(google it for step), enable OEM Unlock
Put your device to Odin mode, and you can start flashing
enjoy your new favorite stylish boot logo and turn off OEM Unlock to secure your device back
you write "The order(cm, sboot then param) inside the tar is extremely important" but in the screenshot there is another order.
And in some BL-images which i examined, it is always sboot, param and then cm!

How to flash NVRAM.bin using SP flash tool

How to flash NVRAM.bin using SP FLASH Tool
hi all am happy to join you this is my first post
In SP flash tool’s download tab the NVRAM partition does not appear while it does in the firmware folder.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
In order to let the NVARM partition appear in SPFT download tab do the following
1. Navigate to firmware’s folder and open the scatter file with notepad++ or with WordPad .if opened in WordPad then save is as *.txt
2. Scroll down the scatter file and find “partition_name: NVRAM”
3. Change the attribute of the fourth row of the nvram partition which reads “is_download: false” to “is_download: true” save and exit.
4. Launch SPFT and select this scatter and the nvram partition should be there in the download tab as follows
You can do the same for all other partitions to let them appear in the downloads tab.
5. Un thick all other partitions except the NVRAM
6. Disconnect(if device is connected ) and Turn it off remove and reinsert battery
7. Clicks download on SPFT and connect your phone via usb and wait until you see green the circle. DONE
Since the partition size of all NVRAM is the same 0x500000 you can flash any MTK phone NVRAM.bin file to any other MTK phone since the scatter type is the same MT6572 to MT6572 and MT6582 to MT6582 and so on.
I am not sure if it fixes the invalid or null IMEI problem since I didn’t tried it I just thought of it last night accidently.
And if this works then the more attention to the scatter the more our problems fixed will be that is without rooting. i gues it will work 90 percent
You can flash any NVRAM.bin file to any mtk phones but only with the original scatter file
Thanks
Se!dnejmy
Didnt fixed it
I tried with your method . it shows the partition in sp tool but I flashed just nvram file to my phone. but it didnt worked I'm still getting the nvram warning Error: 0x10
but I HAVE a problem
Last night i fixed the nvram error 0x10 and I was happy that it will be fixed but when my phone rebooted I saw that there was an error nvram warning error 0x02
then I tried to fix it and when nvram error 0x02 was fixed
the erroe 0x10 came back
can anyone give the solution
thanks so much. I had an IMEI issue and now it's completely solved except for one problem, the IMEI number differs from the original.
hi
i format whole of my phone is nokia 1 plus and i lost my nvram.
now how can i fix nvram in my phone? my phone dont have nvram partition.

Guide to Test Android 13 DP1 (lvm600am)

This restore process is intended for the AT&T V60 (lmv600am) model and will most likely WIPE your data so back it up if you want to keep it!
This process will restore the lmv600am to Pixel P4a a13 dp1. I’ve dumped all the required partitions from my lmv600am which has been running this rom for about a week now. I have yet to find any problem at all. To me it seems smooth and fast. This process uses the Qfil utility and assumes you already have a working knowledge of Qfil and that you have already installed it on your Windows PC. If you don’t have that knowledge start reading. The internet is full of Qfil guides.
You can’t damage or fix your existing imei relevant partitions from this restore because they aren’t included in this download.
You are responsible for backing up your existing phone partitions. I’m not liable for you using my work product and you do so at your own risk. If you’re unsure of what you’re doing then read more about Qfil and what is does. Again, if you are a newby go slow. Taking your time will save you a lot of aggravation.
This process will not fix your erased or damage imei number problem. There are process out there for that but they are usually reserved for people with an expert level of knowledge on the subject.
This guide is for anyone who’s presently wanting to try Google’ new Android a13 dp1 release. I have only this when my phone was already on an Android 11 rom. That’s not to say it won’t work coming from an Android 10 rom but I haven’t tried it.
I strongly suggest that you run the “reset option” option from Settings>System>. This will completely reformat and wipe your userdata when completed. No need to go thru the setup process just put phone in edl (9008) mode.
Steps
Download “Lmv600am a13 dp1 P4a Restore Partitions.7z” file from here and unzip. Remember the unzipped restore directory path.
Plug your phone into PC with USB cable and put you phone in EDL (9008) mode. Again, there are guides on how to do this everywhere.
Start Qfil and select the port of your phone’ connection. (See Windows device manager)
Select the v60 firehose (.elf) which is included in the unzipped directory.
Select storage type = ulf which is located at the bottom right of the Qfil dialog screen. I’m using Qfil 2.0.3.5 version. The correct version of Qfil is important as there have been problems with older versions.
Next click on the “load XML” button and group select “rawprogram0” thru “rawprogram6” which are also in the unzipped directory, then hit OK. Next it will ask for the Patch0.xml file, hit cancel as we’re not patching anything.
Wait a few seconds and then click on the “Download” button. Qfil will now resolve all the names of the partitions to be restore and then start the download process to the phone.
When complete phone reboots as I recall.
If you wish you can Qfil load both the eng alb file to abl_a – abl_b which will give you Flashboot mode and your magisk modified boot.img to boot_a – boot_b to give you root. I have both.
When I click download it just gets stuck. There is no ulf storage type on my qfil. Maybe I have the wrong one? I only get ufs and a few others.
edit I guess I bricked it, my other lg v60 works fine lol
nvm again used my laptop. that fixed it. Nice build
does the qdac works?
I update Android 13.How can I restore to origin lg system? It can't work as update steps.

If you wish to restore to the original AT&T a11 system for lmv600am go to the guide in this forum which I provided. It is meant for this exact circumstance, to enable those that wish to test what they like when they like and then return to a stock a11 environment when they wish.

Apparently my phone has no system partition

I have a CUBOT Note 20 Pro (rooted) and today I tried to install the android 11 GSI when I got an error saying "FAILED (remote: 'This partition doesn't exist')" when trying to flash using the fastboot command line and this command specifically "fastboot flash system system.img". I looked around the scatter file and there seems to be no use of the system.img file whatsoever.
I have attached the scatter file and a screenshot of the error.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

How exactly do I use this tool?
read back super.img from SP Flash Tool, patch it, replace system.img, whatever, and flash new super.img back from fastboot

Can you explain the steps a bit more? I'm really new and have no clue how to do this.
sorry apparently TWRP is required, but you can also use official tools on PC

So, lets review the steps:
1. Unpack the super.img using the links you provided
2. Modify the system.img inside the super
3. flash
another approach is DSU Loader from Developer Options
DSU Sideloader lets you easily boot any custom GSI via Android DSU Loader
DSU Sideloader is an open source app that greatly simplifies the custom GSI installation process of the Android DSU Loader. Check it out!
