Its same flash type with same error like in my thread about flash write error for A2688 phone.

And please move this to Chinese miracle section, i missclicked.

Hello,

Thanks for information.
We are informed about this new flash type and hope to make support for it ASAP.

@Sethxp

I was a problem with new kind of phone hardware.
Please, try to use this software for flashing: http://www.infinity-box.com/download...acle_v2.97.rar
It was tested with new flash chip types.

Waiting for your results.
