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
