- SP Flash Tool on Linux (MT6592): S_COM_PORT_OPEN_FAIL (1013) in BROM, then "PMT changed for the ROM"
Writing /system on an unrooted MT6592 handheld from Linux. BROM port-open fails because new cdc_acm rejects TIOCCBRK; Download refuses with "PMT changed". Use SP Flash Tool v5.1648, an LD_PRELOAD shim, Preloader mode and write-memory at the physical address.
- Panasonic Lumix GF1 (Japan model) — enable English menus with PTool
A Japan-market Lumix GF1 can be given all interface languages by patching the official firmware with PTool. The steps that matter are the version increment of 10 and naming the file with a higher version.
