Incase, it gives you this 'error message like PMT changed for ROM' during TWRP flash; redownload old ROM update of your Phantom 5 ROM from Hovatek and re-flash.
It happened to me and I did it to solve my own problem!
I heard that phantom is 45k now. Is that true?
Where you hear that one…Oga r&b
I want to know if this phone brings system updates? If yes, what will happen when you try to update it after rooting?
