Could never get the Homtom Ht70 to flash using SPFT, tried all different version, 5,1844, down to as an older version would allow. This was done using, windows and linux.
Downloaded stock rom from homtom.cc, when tried to flash, or even do a readback, received the following attached error:
Before the phone was bricked, was able to root, unlock bootloader, install TWRP and flash the individual files using fastboot flash. Well, flashed the preloader.bin, instead of the preloader_verified.img and it bricked the device. Now am unable to turn the phone on, and still get the error, so can't recover the phone.
Am able to flash other mediatek phones in windows and linux, so it is not a driver issue. The Homtom phone does not read as MTKxx Preloader though, forced it to read as MTKxx preloader in windows, but same error. Linux it reads as:
Bus 003 Device 021: ID 0e8d:0003 MediaTek Inc. MT6227 phone
Have even taken the phone apart and tried jumping points, still nothing.
