Nokia TA-1165 Firmware: PAC File Download and Flashing Guide

The Nokia TA-1165 (commonly known as the Nokia 110 (2019)) is a robust feature phone popular for its durability and long battery life. However, like any device running software, it can encounter issues such as hanging on the logo, "Contact Service" errors, or security locks. In these scenarios, flashing the device with the official firmware (PAC file) is often the only solution to restore it to working condition.

This guide covers the essential details regarding the Nokia TA-1165 PAC file and how to use it safely.

What is a PAC File?

PAC stands for PacRom Archive or Download Agent File, proprietary to MediaTek-powered devices (which the Nokia TA-1165 is). Unlike standard .zip OTA updates, a PAC file is a complete, low-level firmware package containing:

• Preloader – Initial bootloader
• UBOOT – Secondary bootloader
• Boot image – Kernel and ramdisk
• System image – Android OS (usually system.img or super.img)
• Vendor image – Proprietary binaries
• Logo.bin – Boot logo
• SEC.img – Security partition

A PAC file is flashed via SP Flash Tool (Smart Phone Flash Tool) in Download Only or Firmware Upgrade mode, bypassing Android Recovery.

4. Tools needed to flash a PAC file

| Tool | Purpose | |------|---------| | OST LA (6.0.4 or 6.1.2) | Official Nokia flashing tool for PAC files | | Nokia USB drivers | For proper device detection | | SRT key generator | Required for authenticated flashing (e.g., “Nokia OST LA SRT Tool”) |

What is the TA-1165?

• Nokia TA-1165 is typically a budget or feature-phone model (often running KaiOS), not a standard Android smartphone.
• Firmware for such devices usually comes in PAC format, used by Nokia’s OST LA (Online Service Tool) or other flashing tools.

Prerequisites

1. Windows PC (Windows 7, 8, 10, or 11 – 64-bit)
2. SP Flash Tool v5.1916 or newer (for MediaTek MT6761)
3. USB driver: MediaTek USB VCOM drivers (install them before proceeding)
4. Original USB cable (good quality, data-sync capable)
5. Nokia TA-1165 PAC file (already downloaded)
6. Battery charge: At least 70% (or remove battery if removable – TA-1165 has a non-removable battery, so ensure full charge)

Troubleshooting Common Flash Errors

| Error Code | Meaning | Solution | |------------|---------|----------| | STATUS_BROM_CMD_SEND_DA_FAIL (0xC0060003) | Driver issue | Reinstall MTK VCOM drivers, use USB 2.0 port | | STATUS_EXT_RAM_EXCEPTION (0xC0050005) | Wrong scatter/PAC | This is not for TA-1165 – find correct firmware | | S_BROM_CMD_STARTCMD_FAIL (0x7D4) | Preloader mismatch | Use Firmware Upgrade mode instead of Download | | Error: 0xFC0 | Battery too low | Charge phone for 2 hours, then retry |
