SP FlashTool: Error 4032 - how to fix?

Many owners of mobile smartphones are trying to improve their devices by using various kinds of firmware and utilities for doing such actions. It is quite popular to install SP FlashTool on computers running Windows or Linux. Error 4032 (MT6572 is used as a processor or another MTK model, not so important) can appear on almost all devices, but fixing it becomes a real headache for owners of mobile equipment. With what it is connected and how to fix the problem, it will be shown below. The given methods are absolutely suitable for all gadgets on which it is possible to use this software.

SP FlashTool: Error 4032 on MT6572 or another processor. What does it mean?

To begin with, a few words about understanding the nature of the failure itself. To proceed follows from the official description, which is present in the message.

It looks like this: S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032). In the application FlashTool error with firmware 4032, if you use the Russian interpretation of the description, indicates that the initialization of the DRAM device memory fails. The first thing that comes to mind is the output of the memory of their order. Naturally, if it is really so, nothing can be done - the memory will have to be changed.

But it is not always the case. In spite of the fact that the smartphone can not give any signs of life, one should not despair, because the cause of the malfunction may not be a memory failure, but other attendant factors. Next, there are several options for troubleshooting, which, by the way, will in a sense even resuscitate any device on which the firmware is made using the above utility. We note at once that when trying to eliminate dysfunction of this type, it is not always expedient to immediately apply "heavy artillery". Perhaps the original cause is so banal that it can be eliminated by the most simple methods, without resorting to outside help.

Causes of a crash with code 4032

But before proceeding to consider the methods of correcting the malfunction, it is necessary to dwell on some of the reasons that it can cause, and the supposedly out-of-order memory to this has nothing to do with. It is enough to look at the list offered below, and, probably, the decision to correct the situation will come by itself.

It goes without saying that in the SP FlashTool application, error 4032 can be caused by a number of factors, but most experts primarily identify the following reasons:

• Problem preloader (preloader);
• Attempt to install the official firmware for a fake, not for the original;
• Discrepancy of the installed firmware of the mobile device model;
• An outdated version of the main application (Flash Tool);
• Low battery charge during firmware;
• Problematic scatter-file;
• Damage or sudden disconnection of the USB cable, which leads to the interruption of the firmware process;
• Missing in full or incorrectly installed Media Tek USB VCOM drivers.

As you can see, there can be quite a lot of reasons. Proceeding from this, it is possible to offer some basic solutions to solve the problem. True, to be precise, with which when using FlashTool error 4032 was connected initially, it is quite difficult. Therefore, it is necessary to sort through all the actions proposed for consideration below. Perhaps, some of them will fix the problem (if, of course, the memory has not failed). But first things first.

FlashTool: Error 4032. How to fix the simplest way

Generally, however trivial it sounds, the problem often described can be connected only with the fact that the program installed on the PC behaves incorrectly because it was not started on behalf of the administrator.

If you install it on Windows 7 and higher, you can try to just start it from the PKM menu with selecting the appropriate line.

Battery status and connect the phone to the computer

The state of the battery in this situation plays an important role. Before you start to flash the mobile device, you need to make sure that the battery is fully charged, and the device itself must be turned off. To eliminate the failure, you can try to perform the firmware by removing the battery from the device.

If in FlashTool the error 4032 occurs due to an incorrect connection of the device to the computer, you need to check the USB cable or try to include it in another USB port. With a fully charged battery, you can click on Download and then connect the cable to the phone. Also, while the device is connected to the PC, you can press the volume keys up / down or both simultaneously.

Software

Now a few words about the main and accompanying software used, which in most cases can be a decisive factor, which causes a failure.

So, first, make sure you are using the latest version of FlashTool. If it becomes necessary, you must first completely delete the folder of the same name, and then reinstall the program.

Next, you need to pay attention to the preloader (preferably "native") and scatter-file (it must be taken from the official firmware). The very same firmware should also match the model of the phone, but the installation of the official version of Firmware on the phone, a fake, although it looks like the original, may cause a failure.

Connection speed

In FlashTool, error 4032 can also occur due to insufficient speed connection.

To correct the situation, you need to go to the Options tab, go to the Connection parameters and change the auto detect mode to w / o battery in the USB settings.

It is also strongly recommended to set the maximum speed for the download speed (Download Speed) (Full Speed).

Firmware Options

The very firmware for most devices should be made through the use of the option Download Only.

But for Lenovo smartphones this mode is not suitable. In FlashTool, error 4032 is just the cause for this reason. For such devices, only use the Firmware Upgrade mode.

In some cases, formatting is necessary before installing the firmware. But even in this case there may be failures. In the FlashTool application, the 4032 error in formatting is mostly eliminated by replacing the preloader, which apparently does not seem to fit or is unofficial.

Problems with drivers

Finally, one more problem is that the necessary drivers are not installed in the system in order to carry out the firmware.

To find out what is and what is missing, you need to call "Device Manager" in the "Control Panel" or the devmgmt.msc command in the "Run" console on the computer and look at the MediaTek components. Among the correctly installed drivers (not marked with a yellow triangle), the following components must necessarily be present:

• MTK USB;
• USB Modem;
• USB Debug;
• MediaTek DA USB VCOM;
• MediaTek Preloader USB VCOM.

If something is missing, you will have to perform an additional installation or even reinstall the entire package.

Some results

These are, in general terms, the causes of the malfunction with the code 4230 and the main ways to fix the problem. As an additional measure when installing firmware through Download Only, you can advise to tick all the points offered. Such a flashing, as evidenced by user feedback on thematic forums, allows you to reanimate even those phones that, after installing the firmware before, did not even turn on and did not respond to the connection to the computer.

As a certain result it remains to add that, although there is an official description of the malfunction, in fact, as practice shows, no one can pinpoint the cause of its appearance. That's why the user will have to look for the solution himself if there is a 4032 error, looking through all possible options. There's nothing to be done. And if none of the above methods help, in all likelihood, it will only mean that the problem is just in the inoperative memory. And here, as already understood, the only way out will be to go to the service center, where you can make a replacement. And finally: do not turn to Kulibin for all sorts of things, otherwise you can completely destroy your own device. Then it will have to be thrown away and bought a new one. And this, as you know, is a financial expense, and also considerable.
