Extract the firmware zip in specific folder.

 

Now open the folder and find an XML file with the name flashfile (as shown).

Open it with Wordpad and remove the line <step operation=”flash” partition=”partition” filename=”gpt.bin” MD5=”0169f49d8eb8535682a18e11f6e700dc”/>

Do the same with the <step operation=”getvar” var=”max-download-size”/> file.

Save the document and now start flashing the firmware file.

Remove any other file if that give you the same error except boot.img, system.img and recovery.img.

That’s it! I hope this guide will help you, if the problem still exists re-download the firmware file from any other source.
