I encountered an error which was not listed here (forum.hovatek.com/thread-439-page-34)
ERROR : S_DL_WRITE_PT_FAIL (5072)
The phone is formatted but will not write.
I get the above error when all items are selected.
preloader downloads successfully but nothing else

I also get a "Failed to get PMT info" error when trying firmware upgrade. 
I may be using the wrong roms but I can't get the one on NeedRom (needrom.com/download/11-galaxy-s8-sm-g950/) because you need to pay for it

I really hope someone can help

what was wrong with the phone before you decided to flash?
whats the current state of the phone? [totally dead or stuck at boot]
did you by any chance take a firmware backup before trying to flash?

I wanted to fix the phone for a friend.
The phone booted up to the picture I am attaching and no further. 
At this point I was still under the impression it was a real Samsung S8+.
I made a backup in a userdata_xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx.backup file but not a backup of the firmware.


The phone does not boot up at all now but it responds to SP Flash Tools so it's still alive

Try dumping the firmware in scatter format using Miracle Box @ https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-13347.html
