How To Flash or Unbrick All Android Phones and Tablets

I will only share with you the quick and easiest method to do this and bring back your device no matter how stubborn it is.

Best Method to Flash/Fix Bricked Android Phones & Tablets

What We Needed:

  1. MT6577 USB VCOM Driver (W7/Vista/XP) – Download
  2. MT6577 USB VCOM Driver (W8 + W10) – Download
  3. USB data cable
  4. SP Flash Tool – Download

First, make sure that you have MediaTek USB VCOM drivers installed on your PC

mediatek-usb-vcom-drivers

How To Start Flashing New ROM

==> Go to the SP Flash Tool to open it (DON’T connect the phone yet)

==> Click “Scatter-loading” button to load the scatter file provided in the downloaded ROM ( you may see something like MT6575_Android_scatter_emmc.txt OR MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt, all depending on the type of phone you have)

==> Ignore any message that may appear

==> Turn off the phone, remove the battery and replace it after some seconds (but don’t turn it ON).

==> Press F9 OR hit the “Download” button)

sp-flash-tool-photo-1

==> Connect your phone into the computer via USB data cable.

==> The process will start and a red progress bar will appear

sp-flash-tool-photo-3

==> After the red progress bar is complete, there will appear a purple progress bar (stay calm)

sp-flash-tool-photo-4

==> Right after the purple progress bar is complete, a message will appear underneath that reads:

Please insert USB cable in x seconds

==> Immediately after that, the download will start and you will see a yellow progress bar filling up

sp-flash-tool-photo-5

==> When the yellow progress bar is complete, you will see a pop-up with a green circle and Download OK message, which means that the flashing process is successful 🙂

sp-flash-tool-photo-6

==> You can now safely disconnect the phone from the USB cable and turn it on.

The process ends here.

If you have any question(s), I will be here to guide you during the flashing process and even after it.
