hi,
remove all chinese character from folder or file on the target_bin or flash tool, just rename chinese character from it.

above guide is china firmware, so the folder is in china language. Just rename the flash tool folder or target_bin folder to english character and try to add scatter file again
there is no chinese character to rename it, i got the same problem
Hi,
Just rename flash tool folder and rom folder to readable name, don't use default name for flash took folder and rom folder.
"When you extract S650_S119_131010, it will contain 2 folders S650_S119_131014 and S650_S119_131014-Lang_Fix, use the Lang_Fix folder for this guide".but i have only this folder "S650_S119_131014-Lang_Fix",did i miss something?i really need to downgrade my phone.after kitkat update i had call drop issue, 2g internet issue.can you help me?
It should contains 2 folder, but it ok if you only got Lang_fix it language fix for original S119.
So the files is same just Lang_fix is the newer than S119 because it contains system with language already fix by the developer.
then why this error happens Error: Initialize scatter file failed. Please check the scatter file name you load is legal.,i am so disappointed.i am sony xperia s user.it is really simple to flash.there are lot of developer support for it.this phone is my friend's phone.he really need my help,can you suggest me another method or link.?
try to redownload the ROM files, i have try this with the same files and folder and i cannot found your error, so maybe your download is corrupt.
ok, my problem solve. use latest flash tool.. http://www.mediafire.com/download/3xvam3x62g2p4cs/SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1324.160.20.rar
the thing is you said that "S650_S119_131010 ↦ 448 Mb, This download contains all required files to upgrade Lenovo S650 ( If you questioned username and password when download this files, please use android rookies global username and password at about page )"..but we are getting this file "S650_S119_131014" not "S650_S119_131010".i think thats why problem occurs.
i am redownload it now from the server and see if i got the error, "S650_S119_131014" not "S650_S119_131010" it a typo.
