just flash lollipop and everything will be fine.
Just follow the steps here
IN SP TOOLS DO NOT SELECT "DOWNLOAD ONLY" OR "FORMAT"
ONLY SELECT FIRMWARE UPGRADE.

Bro Ive Tried All Possible Ways My Phone Not Booting Up
I Cant Even Start My Phone So No Question Of Booting In FastBoot Mode,
its Good As Dead…!
Power Button Is OK As Was Flashing A Sprout 8GB Version Rom Unknowingly (Afterwards I Realised And Regretted)
I'm Out Of Warranty 1 Month Before (1year+1Month Passed)
I Tried Every Option & Combination On Sp Flash Tool Tried Manual Format Yesterday
But Of No Use…!
1) Tried "Download Only"
2) Gone To Format Section "Format Everything Except Bootloader" Then "Download Only"
3) Formated all + Download
ALL THESE SAYS DOWNLOAD SUCCESSFUL AND THAT "" Popups
Now,
4) Tried Firmware Upgrade (After Going To Format Tab And Format All Except Bootloader)
A Strange ERROR Pops Up "PMT Info"
I Researched That ERROR "PMT Info"
Its When Partition Value Storer File Has Been Altered By Chanhe In Partition Value
So The Solution Online Was Given To "Format All" -> Download Only Preloader -> Then Flash All The Files
So… In The End I Know
1)My Preloader Is Currupt
2)Power Button Is As Good As On A New Device
3)i Dont Have Knowledge About How To I Format "Preloader" By Manual Format Option In The Sp Flash Tool, To Remove That Currupt Preloader From The Phone And Insert A New One Using Sp Flash Tool
THANK YOU If You Guys Read so Far… Now You Know What I Know, And what I Dont Know So… Waiting Eagerly For Your Reply! Please Help Me Get Out Of This Situation!

Bro, you look like you're in deep ****!
Don't worry, we'll fix this.
If you read my previous post in this thread, i said not to use download only.
USE UPGRADE FIRMWARE.
don't go to format tab or anything. do not edit anything.
JUST GIVE THE SCATTER FILE, SELECT FIRMWARE UPGRADE AND HIT DOWNLOAD. DON'T CHANGE ANY SETTING
do that and if still not working try kitkat flash file here
try it and revert back

So i Tried What You've Said (First With Lollipop And Then With KitKat)
When I Select Filmware Upgrade It Shows "PMT Info" (Something Like PMT Currupted)
So Is There Any Way Of Solving PMT Other Than Just "Firmware Upgrade" Cause Its Not Working…(Cause PMT Is Currupt)
BTW ThankYou For The Reply…

OK so I understood you'r problem, and luckily I have a solution.
I believe the PMT block is created by SP Flash Tool dynamically from scatter file. It's comparing the scatter file with what is sitting at the PMT address on the flash. If these two mismatch, you get the error you mentioned. If you want to force a new PMT that matches your scatter file's layout, you have to do a "Format" in SP Flash Tool. This will get you back to a PMT on flash that matches your scatter file, then SP Flash Tool will be happy and allow you to use Download (write to flash).
What is a PMT? A partition table that holds the addresses to all the other partitions.
Stepwise, What you have to do:
STEP 1 :
In SP tools, on the top you have tabs like welcome, format, download, readback and memoryTest.
Step 2 :
In download tab select scatter file. ONLY SELECT. Then go to Format tab.
(Use only stock kitkat scatter file or lollipop doesn't matter. Only, it should be stock.)
Step 3 :
Here check the validation check box, and select auto format flash. Now click on START.
Step 4 :
Once completed, go to download tab and select Upgrade Firmware and hit download.
This should probably get your phone up and running.
Revert back if not.

Guys, I am almost having the same problem. My Canvas A1 worked fine for 11 months and now it is malfunctioning. The phone stops giving audio output sometimes and then I have to restart it to make it work. It even started to restart on its own. Last day, I tried to wipe the dalvik cache and did a factory reset and now my phone is stuck on the "Google animation". I have less time left for my warranty, so please reply fast. Do I need to flash stock 6.0 via stock recovery ?? I don't want to unlock bootloader or to root the device for as long as possible. Thanks for reading, waiting for your reply. :crying:

Now , what should I do is it completely died or is there any hope to make it work again

I'm searching for a solution right now
i think i'm losing hope , so i'm going to give it to someone who can fix it
When I find a solution , I will send you back

Same here. The same thing happened to my 616. The motherboard(NAND Memory) was gone so I gave it to a local repair shop. Probably a hardware bug.

I downloaded the firmware files
And tried to flash normally but it didn't work out as the SP Tools doesn't load files properly (probably stock files problem)
so I tried to flash only
1. boot.img
2. recovery.img
3. For the third file rename the "system.ext4.img" to "system.img"
4. Select in the SP Tool -> android tab and select "system.img"
5. Remove the battery from the phone
6. Click on download in SP Tool
7. Connect the phone with the usb cable
Note : Make sure you have the drivers installed in the PC
8. After flashing it will start in russian language (dont be panic), just wait untill it done. :good:
9. Now you will land on the language selection menu
10. You still get the notifications of "unfortunately stopped ..." blah blah.(just ignore it)
11. Now you'll get some error notification "Some ID is modified". Click Ok on it.
12. After few minutes your phone will restart autmatically and it will boot in recovery with loading sign and notification "Erasing"
13. Now it will reboot after the above process automatically (Please wait as the first boot take time)
14. Again setup your phone and Viola!
Your phone will work fine! :good:

taking firmware backup doesn't void your device warranty. instead this process doesn't require rooting or unlocked bootloader :fingers-crossed:

isn't it possible to do a spflashtool readback if we have a scatter file ...
---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 PM ----------
My device ( woods)(E4) isn't using this chipset ? shouldn't we try to edit a scatter file from the correct chipset and pulling the block map from adb ?
I want to get a valid scatter to do a readback of an unpatched boot image and stock rom using spflashtools and then patching boot with magisk .
Then we could flash back to stock etc etc ...can any of you who rooted woods use terminal or adb and pull the correct mount points so we can create a scatter for the 2GB/16GB woods variant .

@KevMetal
you can do this by following the main post
it's a miracle dump so obviously you can't make it spflash tool flashable. but our device have newer mtk chipset MT6737M and miracle tool isn't capable of flashing factory images to newer chipset you need a dongle to complete the flashing process. if we make this process more simple than you need to follow these simple steps.
dump firmware with miracle tool. its in .bin format change the extention to .img and this firmware is ready for flashing with fastboot tool.
do not flash these files in fastboot mode *pgpt.img* and "preloader.img*
if you still want to flash pgpt.img the correct way of flashing this file is "fastboot flash partition pgpt.img"

I am unable to backup using this guide as miracle tool fails to detect my phone. I followed the guide thoroughly but the tool shows "Waiting for USB Port..." two times and then "none usbport, maybe driver not installed". My phone shows white LED when I connect it as per instructions in OP.

why did you brick while flashing recovery ? didn't you make a backup before flashing ? either way since there are so many SKU versions it would be better to make your own backup .
if your phone isn't booting after twrp it is because you didn't flash the no dm-verity zip
if the one you got isn't working try the no dm-verity and good instructions for installing in my thread for SKU xt1762 ....
to reboot to recovery hold power and volume down ...you won't go directly to recovery but first to bootloader ...using the volume key "scroll" until you see it says recovery and select that option using power button
when in recovery flash no dm -verify zip
don't flash stock files from my post cos I think they might not be cross compatible between variants for stock only custom roms .
otherwise download a scatter file and stock rom from google and the interwebs and flash your phone using sp flashtools and scatter file .

No, I didn't brick my device. Actually, I wasn't able to backup my stock ROM using this guide, so I flashed TWRP and backed up my stock ROM using that. I just need stock backup so that I can go back to pure stock if required.

if you backed up using twrp why would you need pure stock ? there is very little chance you would need stock recovery and boot because you are way more likely to get Oreo via custom rom .....the backup you made in twrp is more than enough in my opinion ...anyways

The main reason is stock recovery, even stock boot was backed up by TWRP. Stock phones get higher rates while reselling.

There is an OTA update notification in my XT1760 in India. Can anyone please share the stock recovery?

Buddy here you done a small mistake. Also you don't bother to read whole thread in a respective manner just scrolling and scrolling. When COM & LPT disappear from device manager. You need to press start button in miracle tool not the vol. Down or up or power button any more. As present COM & LPT port disappears a new port has been established as soon as you press the start button in miracle tool. In first attempt COM &LPT contain MTK USB Port driver as soon as it's removed a new port appears, the actual driver software we need MTK Preloader usb com port#7. Hope you understand it very well

Unbrick Nokia 6.1?

Bootloader is unlocked.
I was running nokia-tool.exe to restore it to stock. nokia-tool.exe crashed in the middle.
Now the screen never comes on (e.g. no Android One logo). However, oddly, the phone is working. For example, I can boot it and I hear the usual chime as it boots and when it's booted. I get the Nokia 6.1 appearing as an attached device. Also, I can get it into fastboot (even though the screen appears dead) and I can see the device in fastboot devices.
I have tried flashing boot.img, system.ing, vendor.img and then wiping userdata with fastboot -w option.
But the screen remains stubbonly dead. Oh and yes, it was working perfectly before nokia-tool.exe, so it's not a hardware issue.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Did you try using the OSA Tool?
It worked for me quite successfully when my Nokia 6.1 device failed to boot and I was looking for ways to restore the STOCK ROM and the recovery.
However, I unlocked my Nokia 6.1 Bootloader before proceeding with the further steps.
I followed the techmesto guide to successfully unlock my boot loader.
Once boot loader is unlocked, you can use these web-links and I am hopeful that you will get your device functioning well in no-time:
Download the Stock Rom through this web link
Here's how you can use OST Tool to install STOCK ROM
Links to download OST Tool:
Alternate Link = https://androidmtk.com/use-ost-tool
Download OST Tool = https://androidmtk.com/ost-tool
Just follow the steps listed in the above guides properly and all will be fine.
Let know if this works out for you.
Cheers,
Manu

Thanks for the reply - I've hit a roadblock: the link to the ROM is only for the img files, not the nb0 files. (The author says "It is already advised that the Nokia Service Tool only supports firmware files in the .nb0 or the .mlf format. You can download them from the below-mentioned links" and then failed to link to them! Any ideas where the stock nb0 files are? I searched this forum and couldn't find them.
EDIT: Think I might have found one Googling...
EDIT2: I found PL2-354E-0-00WW-B01.nb0
When I run the OST tool and click the "Edit Phone Information", I get "Boot FTM Mode Fail!". If I OK that (I read that this error is OK to ignore) and carry on, if just hangs at "Checking device status...".

Don't click on the "Edit phone information" as many guides recommend.
Follow these steps instead:
Download your STOCK ROM and extract it in a new folder
Download OSA Tool (crack version) >> Install it on your system >> Paste the crack files in the default installation folder
Stay connected with your internet >> Run the tool and click on OK >> You will arrive at the first screen of the OSA Tool
Switch off your device >> Use "Power + Volume Down" key combination to boot into the "Fast boot mode."
Click on NEXT >> Locate your extracted STOCK ROM FILE >>> Add it to the tool and from the drop-down, select Emergency mode/ Normal mode depending on your situation.
Note: Emergency mode is useful if your device is dead and nothing works. It will erase your personal data completely.
The other mode i.e., "Normal mode" is useful if your device works fine, and you want to simply flash the STOCK ROM without erasing your personal data.
Once the mode is chosen, click NEXT >> Let the process begin
You will get a success message once the process gets finished
Close the OSA Tool and disconnect your device
In most cases, your device will auto-reboot >> If not, reboot it manually
Once booted up, you shall have your STOCK ROM installed successfully
Note:
I downloaded my STOCK ROM from this link - STOCK ROM for Nokia 6.1 (2018)
I used OSA Tool v6.2.8 Cracked version to bypass login issues. Use Google and you will find the software easily.
Let know if the above steps helped you, and reach out if you still get stuck anywhere.
Cheers,
Manu

OK, so following this to the letter:
Once the mode is chosen, click NEXT >> Let the process begin
At this point it says "The update process failed. Error: emergency download failed. Error = Device_Not_Configure (0x4000).
Oddly, if I type "fastboot devices" it does show me the device, so I know it's connected and visible to the laptop.
Weird!

If, instead of emergency mode, I use normal mode, it does what it did before: just hangs at "Checking device status...."
Time to put it in the bin?

also tried flashing twrp (again) using fastboot flash recovery twrp.img and it just said something like the recovery partition was not found. As I say, the phone boot both normally and into fastboot - just neither without a screen.
I appreciate your time trying to help me, but time to draw a line under it and chuck it in the bin. (There's a phrase here in the UK and maybe other places too: you can't polish a turd !)
