Programs to open PPM_B file

Step 2. Create association of Phoenix Prommer Tool with PPM_B files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PPM_B file to open in the Phoenix Prommer Tool application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed.

If, however, after binding Phoenix Prommer Tool with Nokia PPM Flash Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PPM_B file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The PPM_B file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PPM_B file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PPM_B or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PPM_B files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of PPM_B file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PPM_B file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PPM_B files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the PPM_B file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PPM_B to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
