Lenovo P780 BROM ERROR : S_FT_FORMAT_FAIL (4010) How to fix?

I manage to fix my p780 today. BROM ERROR : S_FT_FORMAT_FAIL (4010) occurs because the given range of memory address is different with the phone memory address layout. And this PMT is locked and you cannot format your phone. By default, the scatter file that you have will not allow sp flash to download the new layout to your phone. To fix this, I use my last scatter file and edit it using notepad++. I manage to format my phone and download the PMT only by using SP Flash Tool V5.13.52.200. So i suggest this version only.

the steps:
1. Open your scatter file using notepad++.
2. Delete (__NODL_) at __NODL_PMT 0x700000 line and leave it to PMT 0x700000
4. Open SP Flash Tool V5.13.52.200 and open your last scatter file.
5. Now format your phone using Auto Format Flash and Format whole flash except Bootloader.
6. Wait until green circle appeared and you are ready to flash your new ROM. And remember load your new scatter file given with the ROM.
