FFS problem MT6589 - GSM-Forum

decodari · 02-25-2015, 09:08

Hello!

I have a phone based on MT6589. I tried to format and write flash with SP Flash Tool. The format is ok, the flash is ok, but the phone seems untouched, I mean the user data is still there, pictures, user settings, etc. I tried to format with infinity even with 0 setting and the same problem.

Hello. FlashIc ( eMMC ) gone to lockdown. Seems as much bad sectors and flash became locked to read-only.

How fix? Change eMMC. Should be same "User size" and same "Ram Size". Better - exactly same, because most phones are setup to work on limited count of flash IC's.

Could it be a flash chip problem like a false writing?

And I have another question...In SP Flash Tool if I format the phone with "Format whole flash" the phone could die forever?

Looks like DA not verify anything , so, it will simulate and erase too , probably.
