Some OEM/engineering MSM tools expect digitally signed flash packages with a specific manifest file (flash.json, flashinfo.txt, etc.).
If you’re using an exclusive or leaked tool, it may require:
In that case, only the original accompanying flash package will work.
Follow these instructions precisely to resolve the error. This method works for the vast majority of cases involving the MSM Download Tool. flash package does not exist msm download tool exclusive
Let’s move past the obvious (typos) and look at the technical root causes.
You have the correct firmware, but the wrong exclusive tool. For example: Some OEM/engineering MSM tools expect digitally signed flash
MSM tools are coded with hardcoded relative paths. If you unzip the tool and place the MsmDownloadTool.exe on your desktop while leaving the ProgFiles folder in your Downloads, the tool cannot "see" across different directories.
The Fix: Extract the entire MSM package (the .exe, the .ini files, and the ProgFiles folder) into a single root directory (e.g., C:\MSM_Tool\). Never run the .exe from inside the zipped folder. In that case, only the original accompanying flash
