So i wanted to flash a new firmware on my MTK Device (UleFone Power 2), but i ran into some Errors while doing so, thus , my phone died in the process.
Following Errors occurred, depending on which (SP Flash Tool;SPMultidownloadflashtool;etc) you use:
Errors:
Internal Buffer
STATUS_SEC_IMGHDR_TYPE_MISMATCH
Through digging and asking on the web, two wonderful and very very helpful people: alterogi and finally Sunray888
This solution popped up. Thank you so much to both of them!!
Solution:
But first: You are now warned, try this at your own risk.
Quoted from Sunray888, alterogi. Credits to them.
My German Guide (more detailed with Pictures): Outside of XDA
Side Note: For the UP2 Rom you use SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject , for the UK6P ROm you use SPFlashTool.
(Links & Attachments below!) (Adb-Fastboot.zip & Checksum.zip)
Part1:
1. Download all the files. (Below are the links and attached files.
2. Extract each zip to its own folder. Then Put the files of the Checksum.zip into the ROM Folder of the Ulefone Power 2.
3. Run the Checksum.exe and wait until it is done. It will show up in the black CMD when it's finished. A new Checksum.ini should be in the folder now.
Part2:
1. Make a backup of your NVRAM and NVDATA, a full ROM backup if you can.
2. Get the Oukitel K6000 Plus ROm Version 2.0 Ready. Extract it to its own folder somewhere on your desktop.
3. Open the SPFlashtool and select the android scatter file of the Oukitel Rom.
4. Connect your phone, hold Volume down and press on "Download" in the SPFlashTool. Now you wait for the process to end, WHILE still holding the button down.
5. After it is done flashing your new Firmware unto your phone, start it like you would normally do. Disconnect your phone now. You can now also skip the Setup Details, since we still have to flash the original Firmware.
6. Go to Device Infos on the bottom of your phone settings, tap a few times on Build Number until the Developer Options activate. Go back and tap on Developer Options.
7. In here you activate OEM Unlock and USB Debugging. Back to the pc: Now you open a CMD Windows and navigate to your extracted ADB-Fastboot Folder. (Some Pictures of this are on my German Tutorial Thread, Link above).
8.Connect your phone, tick the avaible spot of the upcoming new popup notification. Shutdown your phone now. Hold Volume Up and Power Button at the SAME Time until the Fastboot Menu pops up.
Make sure your phone is still connected to the pc.
9. In the cmd window you will now have to type the following thing: fastboot oem unlock
9.5 Another Method to get into fastboot mode: (OR enabled usb debug, accept connection between your PC and Ulephone and send command fastboot reboot bootloader after that "fastboot oem unlock")
10. After the process is done. You are still in fastboot mode.
And let the phone connected to the Pc.
11. Now you have to flash the original ROM/Firmware. In this case only Version 17 will work.
On this step i had a lot issues with "insufficient buffer"-Errors under SP Flash tool, but there is a solution for this.
Be careful :
Try to use #SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject Version 3.1620 - only this software worked for me,earlier Versions i tried ( v.3.1636 ) always showed an Error.
Current Status: Phone is still connected to pc, fastboot mode, oem has just been unlocked by yourself.
What to do now:
12 Open the SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject, load scatter file of the Ulefone Power 2 Firmware, then press scan. Nothing will happen now, so be quick: Don't disconnect your phone.
Press Volume Up + Power Button at the same time to simulate a new connection to the pc. While the phone is still connected via cable! We have to do this. You will now hear a sound which you normally would here when connecting a new device to your Pc. Now you just have to keep holding the Volume Up Key.
IMPORTANT:
Don't let go of the button until the Programm shows up a Green Tick which signals the end of the Process. Now you can let go of the button.
13. After the scan has finished, press start and flash firmware. But how? It's easy. Just do the same again. ->>
13.1 Press Start in the Flash Programm.
13.2 We have to simulate a new connection. Hold Vol+ and Power Button. Until you hear the sound again, now only keep holding the Vol+ Button.
14. Wait for the green Tick Notification. Until then: Don't you dare let go of the Vol+ Button. When it shows up, you're pretty much done. Congrats!
15. Restore NVRAM and NVDATA.[/I] through mtk engineering mode: open dialer and call *#*#3646633#*#* , scroll down to GRPS and type in your IMEI (can be found in the box, in which your phone came shipped with). If it says something like that it's successfully written.-> Activate Airplanemode, wait a few seconds, deactivate it, activate Mobile Data Connection and wait. It should show a mobile data active.
Download Links: (I didn't upload those files,i simply shared the links, all credits to their respective owners. Use at your own risk.!)
UP2 Rom: Google Drive
Flashtool for UP2 Rom: One Drive
UK6P 2.0 + Flashtool: Click me
Checksum Gen Zip: --Below--
ADB Components: --Below--
UPDATING:
After flashing V15 Ulefone Firmware, use the SP FLASH TOOL to flash the newest firmware via "Firmware Upgrade" mode. remember to keep pushing vol up before connecting phone!
How to:
Press Download in Tool
Push and hold vol up
Connect cable to pc.
wait until green tick shows up.
Profit.
Same situation here. I've tried flashing with and without battery, no success. I can confirm that I did NOT lock the bootloader. Not that it helps me much.
I've tried using different versions of SPFT in addition to the multiport tool, but they either don't work with Power 2 scatter file, or show the same error.
This can potentially be a driver / USB issue, so I will probably try that next (different computer, fiddle with the drivers). I've also seen claims that SPFT v3 can happily flash over this, and then newer versions start working too, so try that if you can. It did not work for me - the download never starts on my computer with v3.
I can also add that I can flash preloader as well, although I try and leave that off when possible. The modem and lk* partitions show the same error you have, though, and the phone is dead.
I have managed to resolve this with a lot of help from Vivanyok on 4pda.
1. Make a backup of your NVRAM and NVDATA, a full ROM backup if you can.
2. Download Oukitel K6000 Plus ROM v2.0. Only this version will work.
3. Flash it. It will actually work just fine, no errors. I've used the latest SPFT.
4. Boot the phone into Android. In Developer Options, enable OEM Unlock.
5. Reboot into fastboot, do fastboot oem unlock.
6. After this, you can simply flash any Ulefone ROM for Power 2. Win!
7. Restore NVRAM and NVDATA.
Hope this helps somebody.
Thanks for your reply!! I will try that and report back ! I'm so glad there are people out here who help !
EDIT: OMG, You are my hero!!! The Flash Process went just fine, no errors. It boots up. Thank you so much! Now i can flash like a devil again, haha
EDIT2: So i could use the phone with the oukitel rom but i want the original rom, firmware.
So here is the other Problem. I can't flash them. I either get insufficient buffer error or the imghdr error.
Could you link me what you are using? I really need the phone. Thanks for your help in advance.! :S
Hi sm00th4f3
I add some advices to Vivanyok instruction by red letters --->

6. After this, you can simply flash any Ulefone ROM for Power 2. Win!
on this step i had a lot issue with insuffitient buffer under SP Flash tool, but yesterday i win too.
be careful :
after oem unlocking you should NOT reboot ulephone to Android,let phone stay connected to PC
try use #SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject version 3.1620 - only this soft help me,earlier i tried v.3.1636 but always error appear.
and when i started flashing i stayed ulephone connected to usb (i dont disconnect phone after oem unlocking) and i simulated connection by long press volume UP + Power buttons. You can control connection by default PC sound.
due in SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject other interface i did not change flashing type, it was firware update by default.
After that my ulefone become alive.
7. Restore NVRAM and NVDATA.
good luck, if any questions ask me on 4pda.ru
So, i tried your nice guide, and it finally worked!! Side Note is: After fastboot oem unlock you have to scan with the #SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject version 3.1620 your phone first, and then like you have already said, use the volume up+power button combo to simulate a connection. and then it will be flashed. Holy crap. Thank you so much!!.
You are welcome, last three day i also tried flash my up2
Still same problem

Hi there,
Thanks for the instructions. I have succeeded to install the Oukitel V2.0 ROM on my Ulefone Power 2 and change OEM in Android and fastboot but still no success to flash the final Ulefone Power 2 phone ROM from the Ulefone web site. The flash process starts but after two or three download steps the flash tool (3.1620 in administrator mode) stops still with the STATUS_SEC_IMGHDR_TYPE_MISMATCH error.
I have also tried with another ROM coming from another site, but still same error.
Could perhaps provide me a download link to a ROM that you successfully flashed to the Ulefone Power 2?
Thanks for your help

cannot find the up2 rom which can be flashed after flashing Oukitel K6000 Plus ROM. Please help...
Download Links added. There shouldn't be any problems using my method as long as you think as well.
Be aware that you have to use the Flashtool i linked, the exact same Flashtool Version as mentioned. Otherwise go to my german thread outside of xda to get more detailed pics.
solved my problem
this was the solution for me, thanks a lot....
recovered!
Hello guys! Thanks for the instructions, it worked great! Only thing, the fastboot you supplied has an password, so I used another I found online.
I finally got time to take care of my bricked Power 2 phone, and I got it back to life using the Oukitel method.
The phone works great, I only had to input IMEI numbers manualy.
Is there a need to lock back the bootloader, because now my device says "orange state", your device cannot be trusted?
hm hm.... fastboot allows me to lock the bootloader, but then the phone would reset itself to factory state for security reasons, so I will leave my bootloader unlocked, as I don't want to go trough the phone app installation and getting the settings to my taste
i just updated the zip..there shouldn't be a password anymore. ^^
For us, there isn't really a need to lock the bootloader. Since we can simply install every ota update by downloading the new rom from external sites. Just a reminder: don't use the ota update app since it will brick or just not work, since your bootloader is unlocked.

don't forget to enable oem unlock (bootloader isn't unlocked yet after you do this)
then fast boot the phone with oukitel rom, unlock the bootloader with adb fast boot unlock
don't let go of the vol button while flashing the phone with multiport flash tools
don't use ulepfhone original cable, mine was not working ok although there was no visual damage to the cable. I used another one that fit the usb port on the phone more firmly

To use SP Flash tools, turn the phone off, press download on the software then plug the phone in. The preloader is only meant to show for a short time (a fraction of a second to a few seconds) so SPFT needs to be sending the signal to download in that time window.
What I've also found works is to press download on SPFT then press and hold power and volume up until the device starts downloading.
thx for the quick answer i will try a.s.a.p.

That could be a couple of things:
Which SPFT version are you using? If its an older version try using a newer one.
Or
The scatter file you loaded is not good, download a stock firmware and use the scatter file from that.
Try this:
fastboot flash recovery "filename".img
or
fastboot flash boot "filename".img
Do you have the MTK drivers installed? What does your phone appear as in the Device Manager? Like others have said, once you've chosen your scatter file and recovery to flash, hit download and then plug in the phone.
Managed to fix this? I have the exact same problem and not able to fix it till now....
I'm in a similar situation. I CAN get my phone to flash recovery in SPFT and get a lovely big green tick but when I power off and boot into recovery using power and volume up it boots into the stock android recovery rather than TWRP.
Going another way via ADB, I can get the phone detected but when I send the OEM unlock bootloader command I am unable to use volume up to confirm. Only the volume down key works to cancel.
All I want is to put viper4android on. Never had any issues until this phone.

Are you 100% sure the recovery.img you flashed was TWRP?
Absolutely. Downloaded from this very site. It was this one: recovery_TWRP_3021_P9000.img
---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------
Did an OTA update this morning and am showing as on build number Elephone_P9000_20160608 now. Haven't tried flashing since the update as I'm at work with locked down computers. Was going to try again over the weekend. Which recovery and version of flash tools would you recommend trying this time?
thanks for any advice.
Actually I have the same problem.
I tried to reinstall the drivers because it seems to be not the correct one. Here is a pic: i.imgur.com/FoUnVyz.png
After I read somewhere that i can try and hold down Volume+ while connecting my phone to the pc where i started the download in sp tools prior.
I got this error code: STATUS_PRELOADER_INVALID(0xC0030004)
And here I am with a not-up-to-date elephone p9000.
Anybody care to help me?
I'm in the same situation, tried everything - flashtool recovery.img separate in download mode, flashtool in update mode full 7.0 with replaced original recovery.img with TWRP one, played with fastboot with no luck as did not find the way to OEM UNLOCK it - vol + not reacting. Bought the phone on Gearbest, looks like it's locked very hard.
Can't install TWRP
Me too! I've updated my p9000 to latest stock v7 rom with spft. I can't install twrp recovery despite getting a geen tick from spft. Tried four times but it won't overwrite the stock rom recovery. A locked bootloader seems to be the popular diagnosis but spft doesn't use the bootloader. What else could it be? Ideas very welcome.
Did you boot into recovery immediately after flashing? A normal system boot will overwrite TWRP with the stock recovery. Once you start TWRP there is an option to prevent this from happening.
Can't install TWRP
Thanks for the suggestion. I flashed twrp again but it won't boot into recovery afterwards without a restart, just hangs. Stiĺl on stock recovery.
hi folks,
tomorow should be getting my hands on the Ulephone power 2.
its the 5.5 screen 4gb ram 64gb rom.
all looks good until i have seen that the normal duel sim is one is hybrid for sdcard which is the norm right,
ant
but............
usually its sim 1 is for 4g cards and the hybrid is for 2g/3g/sdcard. yeah?
well the power 2 looks like its sim slot 1 is a 2g/3g slot and the hybrid is 4g or sdcard??????????
so will have to choose 4g or sdcard??? that cant be right?
I don't try this device with sim.
I know you can use the older power (1) have a sim 4g and SD card
So i believe the power 2 have the same method.
My first steps: How to root this device? i don't find a twrp.
I try to root with kingroot kingoroot, no results
Please?
The power 2 is the same as the power wrt the sim/memory card tray; both sim slots support 4g, but only one at a time. So if you put two 4g sims in, only one of them will have 4g (you choose which one), with a sim and a memory card the 4g should default to the inserted sim, but you might have to check this in settings.
Received my power 2 a couple of weeks ago after having it on pre-order for a month and I love it (sold the original power towards the cost).
I haven't tried rooting it yet, but was thinking of trying to flash twrp for the original power and seeing if that works. The great thing about these phones is that they're very hard to brick as you can always flash them as long as they still switch on.

I'm sure it's not working the twrp from the power (1).
If you have troubles with bootloops you can flash again the facatory rom and SP flash tools.
Press the power volume + and - and SP flash tools gonna flash.
The only way is to made a twrp from the k6000 http://fvknl.pro/k6000-plus-root-guide/
I don't know how, that device is almost the same...
There has been 2 ulefone Updates since launch
Android 8.0 is scheduled for end of the year.
Updates are fine, who can create a TWRP? So we can finally root the device

TWRP please!
Not so easy to do it. It will take very long time to port or build twrp
It sucks that power 2 still doesn't have root or twrp. I refuse to touch unrooted phones. I just received it as gift. I will keep it in a drawer and check next month or so.
I find that it lacks optimisation, kinda laggy in 3D/games ..
On Antutu, scores is 44000. I tested a galaxy S5 of a friend, it was 72000. For a phone that is several years older than Power 2.
I understand that it comes not with high end cpu/gpu but still..
I will copy my post from needrom website.
I have successfully rooted my two Power 2 phones. I had to port the TWRP recovery from Oukitel k6000 plus using Carliv Image Kitchen and following some online tutorials.
The only issue is, TWRP is semi functional, that is, touch doesn't work. I had to connect a mouse to my phone via OTG usb port and using some dongle to make USB smaller to fit the port. Also it comes with Russian language as default, but can be changed to English or any other as the original TWRP from Oukitel k6000+ (3rd button from second column, then click on Globe tab at the top right then choose English and the only button at the bottom to accept the change).
I am trying to fix this with no luck so far. But at least I am rooted and I was able to flash "SR1-SuperSU-v2.82-SR1-20170608224931.zip" which is the latest as of writing this. SuperSu functions properly and I am able to use AdAway.
If anyone is interested in the recovery image, I will post it. I flashed it using fastboot though after unlocking the bootloader using "fastboot oem unlock"

I would very much like to give this a go with my ulefone power 2!
Here you go, TWRP for Ulefone Power 2
What you need to do before you start flashing:
0) You need to have ADB installed on your computer, if you have Windows, the easiest way is by using 15 Seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3.
1) Your bootloader must be unlocked, otherwise flashing recovery will fail using fastboot command. PLEASE NOTE: When unlocking the bootloader, your phone will do a factory reset automatically, so backup all your important files beforehand.
To unlock the bootloader:
a) Go to Settings -> About Phone -> Build number (tap on it 7 times to unlock Developer Options) -> Tap on back to Settings menu then Developer Options.
b) Now move the slider for "OEM Unlocking" to enable it, say yes to the warning message.
c) Enable "USB Debugging"
d) Connect your phone to your computer via USB cable, say Yes for the dialog on your phone to trust your computer for debugging using USB.
e) Run command prompt and type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Then press enter
f) Once in bootloader, type
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Then press Volume UP on your phone to allow OEM Unlock. It shouldn't take long, just few seconds and a message will appear on command prompt saying success or OK.
g) Type
Code:
fastboot reboot
To reboot your phone, it might reboot twice, it will do a factory reset and you will have to "Enable Developer Options and USB Debugging" again. As a side note, you will also notice that OEM Unlocking is grayed out. It will remain like that unless you do "fastboot oem lock" or erase the entire phone (might erase imei, but can be restored using SN Writer Tool) and/or flash bootloader using SP_FLASH_TOOL, but I digress.
2) Before you flash TWRP recovery, you must have SuperSu zip file on your phone beforehand, otherwise, your phone will not boot to Android. It has to do with something about the original TWRP for Oukitel k6000+, since the author of that TWRP port said so in the instructions about how to flash the recovery.
So download SR1-SuperSU-v2.82-SR1-20170608224931.zip from this link or the original SuperSu thread on XDA, and copy the file into your phone, say inside the Download folder in the internal memory of your phone.
3) Open command prompt again if it is not already open, type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
4) Once in bootloader, type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery C:\TWRP-recovery-20170618-1340.img
Note: You replace the path for the TWRP recovery to where you have the file, to make it easier, just put it in the root of C drive.
Also, if you don't already know, while in command prompt, you can type C:\TWRP then press TAB to auto-complete the file name for you, so you don't have to type lengthy file names. Keep pressing TAB to cycle between similar occurrences, that is, if you have more than one file that their names start with TWRP
5) Press power button until phone shuts down. Then press Volume UP + Power and keep holding until you see super tiny text with 3 options to cycle between. Release your fingers from Volume Up + Power, then cycle between the options using Volume Up only, choose "RECOVERY" which is the first in the menu, then press Volume DOWN to select.
6) Wait a few seconds, you will be inside TWRP, connect your phone with a mouse since touch doesn't work here. Once you do, you will see a mouse pointer appear. I used a wireless mouse with bluetooth dongle, with an adapter to change USB port size.
7) Slide the slider to the right, to enable modifications to System partition. Don't press anything else, unless you know Russian, I don't .
8) To change the language to English or your own language, click on the third button of the second column. Then click on the Globe tab on the top right corner, change language, then press the only button at the bottom to accept. Language of the UI is changed.
9) Click "Install", browse for the SuperSu zip file you have downloaded to your phone, for example inside the Download folder. And then select it.
10) Slide to the right to flash SuperSu.
11) From the TWRP menus, you can reboot your phone.
12) Enjoy your rooted Power 2 phone. :good:

hello , i got a ulefone power 2 but unfortunately its not powering on. As i am from india and returning or replacing is costly and timetaking process, i need you guys to help me. I tried to flash it with software available on the website but stuck. I need some checksum.ini file which is not there in the firmware file provided. So anyone please help me. the phone doesnt even show the ulefone logo. i can just see the charging percentage when the charger is connected, then keeping it connected i tried to turn on but didnt work. keeping the charger connected ,after some time the display goes off and no mater how long you press the power button , the display doesnt show up. I can only see the notification bulb.
Soft bricked :laugh: trying to recover the phone, official ulefone guide is useless. Getting some error about a missing checksum.ini file. Will keep this thread updated
All went well until step 9, where I realised factory reset deleted the supersu zip. So I tried to reboot into system to download it again. It never booted. Doesnt even go into adb mode.
Fastboot mode and TWRP intact (TWRP needs a mouse). I was able to flash original recovery via fastboot, getting "cannot load system.img" error when I try to flash system (it appears I might need to update my adb/fastboot version).
UPDATE: was able to flash the stock rom. And tried to follow the guide again, and faced the same symptoms. If i have working TWRP, then the system doesnt boot. And vice-versa. Will keep updated, i'm a persistent mf

Here you go, TWRP for Ulefone Power 2
What you need to do before you start flashing:
0) You need to have ADB installed on your computer, if you have Windows, the easiest way is by using 15 Seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3.
1) Your bootloader must be unlocked, otherwise flashing recovery will fail using fastboot command. PLEASE NOTE: When unlocking the bootloader, your phone will do a factory reset automatically, so backup all your important files beforehand.
To unlock the bootloader:
a) Go to Settings -> About Phone -> Build number (tap on it 7 times to unlock Developer Options) -> Tap on back to Settings menu then Developer Options.
b) Now move the slider for "OEM Unlocking" to enable it, say yes to the warning message.
c) Enable "USB Debugging"
d) Connect your phone to your computer via USB cable, say Yes for the dialog on your phone to trust your computer for debugging using USB.
e) Run command prompt and type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Then press enter
f) Once in bootloader, type
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Then press Volume UP on your phone to allow OEM Unlock. It shouldn't take long, just few seconds and a message will appear on command prompt saying success or OK.
g) Type
Code:
fastboot reboot
To reboot your phone, it might reboot twice, it will do a factory reset and you will have to "Enable Developer Options and USB Debugging" again. As a side note, you will also notice that OEM Unlocking is grayed out. It will remain like that unless you do "fastboot oem lock" or erase the entire phone (might erase imei, but can be restored using SN Writer Tool) and/or flash bootloader using SP_FLASH_TOOL, but I digress.
2) Before you flash TWRP recovery, you must have SuperSu zip file on your phone beforehand, otherwise, your phone will not boot to Android. It has to do with something about the original TWRP for Oukitel k6000+, since the author of that TWRP port said so in the instructions about how to flash the recovery.
So download SR1-SuperSU-v2.82-SR1-20170608224931.zip from this link or the original SuperSu thread on XDA, and copy the file into your phone, say inside the Download folder in the internal memory of your phone.
3) Open command prompt again if it is not already open, type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
4) Once in bootloader, type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery C:\TWRP-recovery-20170618-1340.img
Note: You replace the path for the TWRP recovery to where you have the file, to make it easier, just put it in the root of C drive.
Also, if you don't already know, while in command prompt, you can type C:\TWRP then press TAB to auto-complete the file name for you, so you don't have to type lengthy file names. Keep pressing TAB to cycle between similar occurrences, that is, if you have more than one file that their names start with TWRP
5) Press power button until phone shuts down. Then press Volume UP + Power and keep holding until you see super tiny text with 3 options to cycle between. Release your fingers from Volume Up + Power, then cycle between the options using Volume Up only, choose "RECOVERY" which is the first in the menu, then press Volume DOWN to select.
6) Wait a few seconds, you will be inside TWRP, connect your phone with a mouse since touch doesn't work here. Once you do, you will see a mouse pointer appear. I used a wireless mouse with bluetooth dongle, with an adapter to change USB port size.
7) Slide the slider to the right, to enable modifications to System partition. Don't press anything else, unless you know Russian, I don't .
8) To change the language to English or your own language, click on the third button of the second column. Then click on the Globe tab on the top right corner, change language, then press the only button at the bottom to accept. Language of the UI is changed.
9) Click "Install", browse for the SuperSu zip file you have downloaded to your phone, for example inside the Download folder. And then select it.
10) Slide to the right to flash SuperSu.
11) From the TWRP menus, you can reboot your phone.
12) Enjoy your rooted Power 2 phone. :good:

Yeah, I had the same issue with the software that comes from Ulefone, it was asking for Checksum Generator that I have to download separately, it was like 150kb stand alone executable, you put it in the same folder of your stock ROM and wait forever for it to build the Checksum, which unfortunately didn't work since it complains about multiple RECOVRY images. So scratch that.
What you need to do, is as I did, download SP FLASH TOOL, it works great, no shinanigans or bullsh!t. It flashed the stock ROM in less than 2 minutes (around 1:30 seconds, to be exact) and revived my phone. There are plenty of youtube tutorials on how to use it. It is easy, just load the scatter file, for the other file, you can use the same all in one mtk file that comes with SP FLash Tool (I did this) or use the one from your STOCK ROM.
I hope that helps :good:

All I can think of, you did something wrong. Initially, while I was trying to port TWRP, I had the same issue, I was trying to save some steps by flashing the recovery after I unlocked the bootloader without rebooting, the result was TWRP was not able to see any partitions.
Flash Stock-ROM and redo the steps. If you flash the preloader you might have to OEM Unlock your phone again.
I mentioned that if you "do not flash SuperSu, the system will NOT boot to Android". Also mentioned that after you unlock the bootloader, you have to RE-ENABLE USB Debugging, and while you are at it, check to see if your bootloader is unlocked inside Developer Options.
Edit: BTW, try not to unlock the bootloader if it is already unlocked. If it is unlocked, then skip the steps for unlocking the bootloader. It might cause an issue.
These are the steps I used to flash TWRP and I was able to flash SuperSu, all rooted apps are working fine, AdAway, Lucky Patcher...etc!

Apparently if you dont flash the supersu first time you go into TWRP then it gets messy. Got the root working now. Thank you for the help and of course for the TWRP build!
Also if anyone's wondering it's possible to restore the system via fastboot. Extract the rom zip (can be downloaded from http:/ulefone.com/download/power2.html ) and flash boot, recovery and system;
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
link for sp flash tool u used.

ok what should i select there? formal all+download or download only or firmware upgarade???
1-step
in order to root these qilive devices you will need...
magisk manager apk v5.6.4
stock boot.img file
working ADB to unlock oem and flash
2-step
lets get to it
place the magisk.apk and the stock boot.img
in the internal memory of your phone (downloads)
if you like to keep stuff organized :good:
3-step
follow the vídeo tutorial and use magisk manager
to patch your stock boot.img it will output a new
boot.img that includes magisk Root (patched_boot.img)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BF4_hnKgjFA
ps: major ty to hovatek team for this great tutorial
step-4 use Google drive or usb OTG to get the patched_
boot.img to your PC and place it in the ADB folder
once you have oem(bootloader) unlocked just
rename the patched_boot.img to boot.img
step-5
unlock oem, these qilive devices wont unlock
the bootloader even if you enable it in DEV options
enable USB debug in dev options
you will need to use ADB commands
command- adb devices
serial appears
command- adb reboot bootloader
phone reboots to fastboot mode
command- fastboot devices
serial appears
command- fastboot oem unlock
(MAJOR WARNING the fastboot
oem unlock will wipe/reset/factoryreset/delete your data)
after you give the command small letters will appear
on the phone screen(yes or no) hard to read dont be hasty plz
use VOLUME+ to select and VOLUME - to confirm
note: when my phone ended the unlock it whent back to
that black screen where you choose fastboot-recovery-restart
and was stuck there, side keys did nothing if this happens
just long press the power key for 10 sec it will shutdown
then press power again to turn on
first boot after unlock will take longer then normal dont freakout
after you unlock small letters will appear during boot up saying the device
is not safe unlocked ,you can later use ( fastboot oem lock )
step-6
flash the patched boot.img with ADB
command- adb devices
serial appears
command- adb reboot bootloader
phone reboots to fastboot mode
command- fastboot devices
serial appears
command- fastboot flash boot boot.img
finished/ok
command- fastboot reboot
and voila you should now have magisk
installed in the app drawer, open it!!
step-7 run the install one final time from the
magisk manager and install magisk V16 using
recomended option it will verify/patch the boot image
Do NOT select the AVB 2.0 BOX it will bootloop the phone
and your done, enjoy your qilive rooted phone.
from this point on you can use the fastboot
command- fastboot oem lock
to remove the letters in boot up about the
device not safe unlocked
WARNING oem lock
will WIPE/FACTORY RESET again (god damn it!!)
ps: i had to install twice in a row,major pain in the ....
Repeat step 7 after Wipe/Reset
here is the stock boot for 2 qilive models
you can get the stock firmware for any qilive
at this site www.doc-doapi.com/EM/qilive/smartph...te_3m-fdd-cs_mul_20170818-110645_songlixin_PC
and get the recovery or boot from the unpacked firmware file
ps:my phone is the Q8SIN4GP AND ITS WORKING FINE
A VERY SPECIAL TY to topjohnwu (magisk creator), this man is nothing
short of a God damn genius!! , and if you can donate to him.
hope this helps other qilive users to root:highfive:
quick note on the qilive models, they have two model names
the cliente name in my case Q8SIN4GP
and the factory name in my model its 882912
in order to download the right firmware for your model
you need the factory model witch is what appears in the qilive
site above, it will be in the back of the phone or the original
box on a sticker just bellow the bar code, full model exempl
:Q8SIN4GP/882912 my firmware serves several models,
these Q8 models all start with 88xxxx WARNING
dont try this using the wrong firmware/boot file or you will DAMAGE your phone
Help with BOOTLOOP problems, if you find your self stuck in a bootloop
the phone wont go past the qilive logo and just stays there, dont freak out
you will loose your data but there is a way out
just keep pressing power + Volume up until a black screen with 3 options appears
when it does let go, use Volume + to select option and Volume - to confirm
select Fastboot or alternative select recovery and then select reboot to bootloader
both option will place your phone in Fastboot mode, once in fastboot mode
connect your phone to PC and use ADB commands to fix/bootloop
command- fastboot devices
serial appears
command- fastboot oem unlock (skip this if you use phone unlocked)
a confirm action option appears on the phones screen
use Volume up to say YES / or Volume Down to say NO
Warning oem unlock will WIPE/Factory reset your phone
once it finishes the phone will be stuck on the
Recovery/fastboot/restart screen just long press the power key
until the phone shuts down
start the phone again using Power + Volume up when the black
screen with the 3 options come up, let go and use Volume up to
select Fastboot mode and confirm using Volume Down
Once in fastboot connect your phone to PC and use ADB commands
command- fastboot devices
serial apears
Here you will flash the magisk patched_boot.img
the same image you used to root your phone
command- fastboot flash boot boot.img
it will say finished-ok (or similar)
command- fastboot reboot
the boot up time will be longer than normal
but the phone should now complete the boot
and present the inicial setup screen, select language
enter your mail, the usual bla bla...
any way at this point just repeat step 7
to get root running again
sp flash tools v5.1716.

hi phonedriller,
...well, i must have been an unlucky fisherman
an app i installed ended up giving me a soft brick (bootloop between qilive icon opening screen - btw still with the "warning" of "device is unsafe etc", i.e. oem still open - and black screen, qilive opening screen etcetcetc)
have cleaned cache; went for factory reset; etc
BUT: am presently stuck when trying to go via ADB (which used to work perfectly before) that somehow the usb drivers don't want to get installed properly. as a consequence, desktop cannot see devices.
and i cannot, for the sake of me, remember how i had succeeded before installing usb drivers.
could you please help?
thx

PS: adb will not work if the phone is not booting to the OS
it will work if you manualy place the phone in fastboot AKA bootloader
MODE ,you see if it does not boot to OS then usb service is not working
use power + Volume up to enter the black menu
use the Volume up to select fastboot(bootloader) volume - to confirm
connect the phone to your PC
flash the boot.img, the same boot.img used to root (patched by magisk)
to see is adb is ok just run - fastboot devices
if a serial is presented then all other stuff should work
step 1 - reflash the boot img
step 2 - after the flash finishes - fastboot oem lock
message on the phone screen, confirm yes to lock
OEM
step 3- press power until it turns off
it should now complete the start up (boot)
if not working this method let me now
you can still flash the full factory firmware
using SP Flash Tool v5.17xx

dearphonedriller,
thank you so much for your speedy help.
followed the steps given by you. all is well, as you predicted, until step 3.
however:
phone (now without the "orange state" message, i.e. oem locked) still bootloops and short of ADB "fastboot devices" the desktop doesn't see the phone (and driver installation continues to fail), as per your PS (thanks!) i guess flashing the full factory firmware ("RC-mt6737...zip" quoted by you in your very first post) is next.
would you please point me to a basic-for-noobs tutorial or instruct me on the step-by-step commands/procedures using this zip file?!
HUGE thanks

On my phone it came from factory and on the firmware file on 2 models , however only kasperky complains about malware on an system app called Helper bla bla bla i think its a false positive(i think) as no other antivirus or playstore ever found anything,but hey better investigate and be safe then sry right :good: maybe a ported cyanogen rom, ive look at a few rom port tutorials but my knowhow is limited + dont even have a working twrp yet, avg/avast/malwarebytes and a few others ,only kaspersky detects malware.

I had issues with adds being displayed at home screen and I was not able to close them. I had to use NetGuard to find that FOTA talks to 'adsup' and it is a known malware provider. I learned that some of the system apps try to talk with Alibaba servers and AdOppo (whatever it's called). Kaspersky might not be wrong, actually.
I'm trying to download stock firmware, but I don't know the file name. The website with it is locked, so unless I know exactly what I need, I cannot download it.

I'm thinking about Android 8.1 with it's Treble project. I might not be knowledgable enought to compile and flash it, though.

Flashing is super easy use spflashtools or. Odin compiling a Rom is not , were you able to get the original firmware? You will need the original firware to get the boot and partition info from what i read so far
Unfortunately not. I will ask at the shop where I bought it how to contact tech. It should be freely available. I don't understand why Qilive restricted access to firmware.
I'll post when I learn anything.
Well, you can download the firmware if you know the file name. The bad news is, it seems the stock firmware has malware preinstalled. If there is anyone who could help confirm it. I have the ROM, and I can upload it to Google Drive if needed.
Hi all,
I'm coming back to a question lingering since the very first post here and mentioned again in post #9:
Is there a successful way to install TWRP on this Qilive model?
Re this topic:
- has anybody tried/has anybody been successful with the procedure described in post #9?
and
- has anybody seen the following TWRP builders' version (do an in-page search on Q8S55IN4G2)
https://twrpbuilder.github.io/fr/downloads/twrp/
with the download belonging to it
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657591798
???
any successful installations to report???
Wouldn't THAT be great!!??
thanks

Ok, tell me to can help you;
Do you have TWRP installed?
Do you unlock bootloader succesfully?
In which modes you can enter? fastboot, recovery, download (do detects SPFlash Tool?)

Ok, I guess that your device is actually in bootloop and don´t booting.
Tutorial that you followed has many steps and don´t need to do all this to just root device and it contains some files like lk.bin that you can´t be sure that should be for your device.
Some users use this file (lk.bin) of an unlocked device and think that flashng in other device then get unlock it but no need, your device can be unlock it just follow some commands in fastboot mode.
Now you can do the next;
Try to flash again your rom stock (I guess that you don´t have a backup), if for some reason your official tool doesn´t work then use only some images like boot, system and userdata with the scatter.txt to flash them through SP Flash Tool.
Here a link to TWRP https://youtu.be/6vj_BY6xJdA, you can root it with supersu v2.78 0r v2.82 and here some files that can be usefull too https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0BwJgeCYTpnEHNlg2VUlieHFTYVU&export=download
Update steps that you are following to can assist. What extension has your rom and if it is recogniced for SP Flash Tool. I didn´t ask you if you can enter to fastboot mode and if you can then you can know if your bootloader is unlocked typing fastboot oem info
Most info that you give and some screenie will help to understand better
Unfortunatly, it can not enter to fastboot or recovery mode. Those files in replay didn't work and i dont have a backup. I try to flash recovery.img, system.img and preloader_shine_plus.bin . All done but it still black screen and does not boot. But now it connect to Pc without disconect .
I cant add link or images to my post.

Gmail didn´t warn myself about your post. Did you solve it?
You said that flashed recovery, system and preloader but how, through SPFlashTool?, if yes, are you sure that this tool recogniced your device?
You forgot to flash boot.img too.
Other way to try; flash only preloader.bin and then try flashing boot, system and userdata that are the three most important partitions to can boot.
Like last resort you can do a Format all + flash but only like last.

I´m not sure if you are connecting correctly your device at right time and form to can flash it properly. Every device has more or less a specific way to do it. My last alcatel it was connected just with device power off and after to tap on download, but in other device Blu Dash was connected pressing just vol_up and my last mt6757 Bluboo had to press both vol up and down at time to connect to pc and after to tap on download option. To have sure that is well done increase volume in your pc, you will hear a first sound that is cause pc is recognicing but then you have to hear a second sound that is when SPFlashTool is recognicing device and you will see a red line in down side of the tool window, release button inmediately and let tool to work.
This is a good rom for your device according the author is optimized https://droid1311.blogspot.com/2017/08/alcatel-fl02-aka-flash-plus-2-via.html and this is the link directly if you have troubles with pop-up-adds https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwAGh1drb91SeDZwV1VXbXpjQWM/view
Also you can try with other versions of SP Flash Tool, most stable maybe should be v5,1628 https://androidmtk.com/smart-phone-flash-tool leth me know how you go
If I understant, the status bar has to be red then I will release the mobile button and click download in SPFlashTool.
SPFlashTool 5.1628:
I try all the way with and without pressing any button but no luck . And when it work finishing with error.
SPFlashTool 5.1628:
I try all the way to get that mode but nothing works. So I try to click download button then conect the phone by random buttons and every time i get red color , yellow , green ,purple , yellow (for many times 100%)
then i get this error:
ERR: STATUS-SEC-IMG-TYPE-MISMATCH (0xC002002A)

There is a part that is not variable in the way to use this tool, ever you have to tap on download before to connect device and is recommendable too connect cable usb to pc (not yet to device); from here is when the button that you have to press can vary but like I said you before in my last mt6757 (a very similar to yours) works pressing both vol at same time to connect terminal cable to device and now you will see a red line (could be violet-ish)
Try before just flashing only preloader file to recreate some partitions and then do other flash for the other files.
Of course you have to be sure that all drivers are installed correctly cause this tool needs to put your device in download mode (a special level) and also keep it in this state so find VCOM drivers for Alcatel and adb/fastboot installer and try to uninstalling some older drivers that you don´t use and many times we keep in our pcs and for a short data transmission can helo that all the rom move it in same folder where SPFlashTool is allocated.
After updating drivers and trying all the possibilities buttons the red line doesnt appear.

Ok, here there are somethings that we need to know
- First of all don´t forget to charge your battery, after many attempts could consume a lot.
- Your device is recogniced in fastboot mode? mtk has two variables ways to enter to, pressing both vol + pwr till an options menu appear, then you have to select, and the other method most known is vol down+ pwr to go diirectly
- In what android version are you, 6.0?
- What is the exact variant of your device, you can know maybe seeing in the box, this rom is for 5095K version 6.0 MM
- Did you try to flash just preloader, only this file?
If SPFlashTool don´t give signals of recognicing device is probably that your device is not now totally power off, try pressing pwr by 7 seconds, then try to flash again combining both vol with pwr button
Upload some screenshot about the process

Which option mode should appear? Screen is always black (off) all that i have on the phone is the LED.
I try more than 4 different drivers for Alcatel Flash Plus 2 (vcom & cdc) but no sound from SPFlash to prove that it recognise the phone. Sounds just release and keep relrease from Windows 10.

You need to try two different ways to flash files and restore your device.
First method: fastboot mode
You need to get device enter to fastboot in order to flash some files like system, boot and userdata, then there are two main methods to do it:
- Pressing pwr + vol down
- And I mentioned that sometimes work pressing both volume button + pwr and a menu have to appear to can select an option to enter to (fastboot mode), in some devices this method is not working but you have to try several times attempting to.
Second method: SPFlashTool
You have to ever press first of all Download box and connect terminal cable to pc and the buttons thhat you need to press at time to connec cable usb to your device may vary, sometimes vol down, sometimes both vol but never pwr button; if pc recognice then you have to release all buttone an let it pc continue the flash process.
If SPFlashTool recognice device first flash only preloader file and select now lk.bin too. Flash only these two files and after do again a new flash with the rest of the files, Why you need to do this? your partitions are corrupted and you need to restore them with these files in order to can flash all another files.
Before all of this charge your battery, if you have a cover removable then extract it some minutes and put it again.
Also I read that for this model it´s used this tool instead of SPFlash Tool https://androidmtk.com/download-sugar-mtk-sp-flash-tool (inside the zip you will find a password to start the tool) but I´m not sure what kind of rom it needs, you have to connect your device to begin the process, you will find in product models section in the tool this variant for your device "FL02"
Try first the other tool and then this and let me know how you go, mtk devices are almost unbrickeable so it´s just to find the appropriate way to return it to the life.
Hi again!
It was along time,I know . But I tried to know why I can’t return my phone back to life.
I have searched all possible websites for rom of this model and I have formatted my pc and installed win7 with all necessary drivers.
I can’t found any rom for it but now I can flash all the necessary files for boot they flashing and running smoothly but the mobile can’t boot up.
I try to use that app in your replay. It recognizes the device but stuck after that and keep looking for rom without any chance to download it.
I think I have a wrong rom files. I can’t find any other reason but this.
I will write again all information about my phone:
It is called Alcatel Flash Plus 2
I bought it from AliExpress and it came from Indonesia as I remember (not sure)

Yes, so many time
When device is booting, it stays in bootlogo or goes atleast to bootanimation?
I understand that you tried with Sugar tool with no lucky.
Did you try again through SP Flash tool? trying to flash in a first attempt only preloader file and in a second attempt the other files? (try with 2 or 3 versions and see the differences).
Is there some custom development, recovery, roms for your device?
I think that now you are flashing correct rom through fastboot but like you did before bad/wrong flashings your bootloader is refusing to boot to system. Flash through fastboot all the partitions that you can follow the syntax for every one of them by i.e. typing fastboot flash cache cache.img and so on one by one (some of them are unflashable through this method)

I´ll tell you some ideas with no any specific order that you can try or see if works.
Really very strange that display stays in black, you told me that flashing files through fastboot is working but doesn´t appear not even bootlogo, connect to pc as it is and see how pc recognices in devices manager and my pc if appears like a determined drive d/e/f so it looks that some bad flashing burn your kernel and this case is similar to when a Samsung device need to use jtag method to revive, if in your country no-one knows about Alcatel devices this could be a similar case to what I´m saying then it could be a clue for a technician. I tell you this cause many time ago when I flashed by error a Samsung s4 and only this method revived my device.
Try this, flash your stock recovery only through SPFlash tool and flash after through Alcatel Download tool your stock rom cause some firmwares need to detect stock recovery first to can flash other partitions.
At this stage don´t you have stock recovery, no? so you can try to format data cause sometimes when bootloader is altered then avoid to boot and formatting data can solve this.
If this recovery twrp is for your device you can try flashing through SPFlash tool, you have to put recovery.img and scatter-txt in a same folder. then if succesfull format data, system, wipe cache and dalvik and maybe later try to port some custom rom would be a way to solve this.
To flash any partition through fastboot this is the syntax, just follow one by one any of the files that are in your rom folder so just follow these, if some of then can´t be flashed don´t worry then it´s not flashable:
fastboot flash boot bot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash lk lk.bin
and so on till the end
...But after try this if you didn´t get boot to recovery and obviously you can´t delete data nor system then delete first the next partitions trough fastboot typing:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase boot
Try all this and let us see how it goes
I have flashed TWRP Rom but it is same , no luck.
On sugar tool I got this message after success flashing via SPFLASH tool.
I tried all possible buttons to connect device to PC on Fastboot mode but the PC cannot send data to my device.
To be in Fastboot mode , the device has to boot while pressing on (PWR & VOL+) but my device can’t boot.

I see that Sugar tool detects your device like rooted and refuses to flash anything, compare imei number which is in the box, I hope that it couldn´t be changed.
Don´t tell me simply no luck, what it says in SPFlash tool when you tried to flash TWRP and I guess that you put scatter-txt and twrp renamed recovery.img simply in the same folder. Just to be clear, to can flash with this tool your device it has to be off not needed fastboot for this. (provide some screenie)
Other combination of keys to enter to fastboot to flash some partitions when something is missing is, try these three ways:
- Pressing only vol down and at same time connecting to charger (connect first one terminal of cable to your device and then to the charger)
- Pressing the three buttons till a menu appears (you must to release inmediately all)
- Pressing vol up + pwr till a menu appears (you must to release pwr button inmediately) then choose fastboot
In the post 4 I provided a link from Google Drive, in this zip there are 8 items;
- From the item 2 use this version of SP Flash tool, put the four files in a folder and flash them
- In the item 3 you will find some scripts for fastboot, maybe they´re working better and also you have here a subfolder with twrp image.
- And if you get sucessfully install twrp in the item 7 there is a backup with some files to restore from this recovery.
Try one by one and update the info, I hope that your motherboard is not damaged.
This is a last ditch effort to restore your phone to working order. This should only be used if your phone DOES NOT BOOT AT ALL or if you are unable to boot into FASTBOOT.
If you can boot into Fastboot mode then I would encourage you to flash using Mi Flash tool.

PC and USB cable

Tested! Howto Unbrick Redmi 9C (angelica) without using auth account
This blog has move and will not be update again.For new update please open ▶▶
langithitam.wordpress.com
First you need to extract the MTK bypass tool which is crucial as it will allow us to flash without requiring Auth file. NOTE: you need to disable antivirus or it will delete file.
Your PHONE NEEDS TO BE OFF! There is no need to unplug battery from the phone, I tested it myself and as long as the phone is OFF it'll still work. If your phone cannot power down due to bootloop, then you must remove backcover and unplug battery or just wait till battery runs out.
Once you have started the MTK bypass tool, choose MTK6765 from option that says auto and this is only for Redmi 9C. Now press on the bypass button a ad it will wait for you to connect your phone via USB. DO NOT CONNECT YOUR PHONE PRIOR TO THIS. Hold only the VOLUME UP button when connecting the USB cable to your phone and ensure the phone is OFF. ONCE you connect the phone, it will immediately respond and show a log saying its completed (SEE SCREENSHOT BELOW).
Once this step is completed leave your phone connected as you will soon start the flashing process. Open up SP FLASH TOOLS and run as admin. You will need to load the scatter file which is included in the Fastboot ROM under images folder. Once you have the scatter file loaded, SP tools will proceed to load all image files which will be used to flash phone so be patient.
Ensure that DOWNLOAD ONLY option is chosen as format and download option will format your IMEI also. Once all files have been loaded then just press the DOOWNLOAD button and wait to complete. Once done you can power ON the phone and it should boot.
Very good guide.
Thank you very much

I'm using a Redmi 9c I tried to unlock it but failed in the process. Later I get absolutely no response from the phone, I cant open fast boot or recovery. I tried connecting it to the pc but it shows the same exact problem you are facing. I tried all USB ports and switched cables back and forth but no success. I tried pressing volume up, down and all sorts of combinations, still no success. Any fix for this?

Follow the guide step by step, it should work and if doesn't then you should try disconnecting the battery
great guide on fixing a hard brick.
My compliments and thank you very much indeed to you for writing this very good and detailed guide. My Redmi 9c bootlooped after trying to install Lineage OS, of course no way to go to fastboot mode anymore (I'm a rather experienced custom ROM installer though). Although I asked for help in a separate thread, I got no answer for a couple of months now until I found this thread. I never gave up my Redmi 9C so I now followed you instructions and with success!! I will refer people to your thread of course. There is no doubt many can save their phone by reading you instructions.

This is a last ditch effort to restore your phone to working order. This should only be used if your phone DOES NOT BOOT AT ALL or if you are unable to boot into FASTBOOT.
If you can boot into Fastboot mode then I would encourage you to flash using Mi Flash tool.

Tested! Howto Unbrick Redmi 9C (angelica) without using auth account
This blog has move and will not be update again.For new update please open ▶▶

First you need to extract the MTK bypass tool which is crucial as it will allow us to flash without requiring Auth file. NOTE: you need to disable antivirus or it will delete file.
Your PHONE NEEDS TO BE OFF! There is no need to unplug battery from the phone, I tested it myself and as long as the phone is OFF it'll still work. If your phone cannot power down due to bootloop, then you must remove backcover and unplug battery or just wait till battery runs out.
Once you have started the MTK bypass tool, choose MTK6765 from option that says auto and this is only for Redmi 9C. Now press on the bypass button a ad it will wait for you to connect your phone via USB. DO NOT CONNECT YOUR PHONE PRIOR TO THIS. Hold only the VOLUME UP button when connecting the USB cable to your phone and ensure the phone is OFF. ONCE you connect the phone, it will immediately respond and show a log saying its completed (SEE SCREENSHOT BELOW).
Once this step is completed leave your phone connected as you will soon start the flashing process. Open up SP FLASH TOOLS and run as admin. You will need to load the scatter file which is included in the Fastboot ROM under images folder. Once you have the scatter file loaded, SP tools will proceed to load all image files which will be used to flash phone so be patient.
Ensure that DOWNLOAD ONLY option is chosen as format and download option will format your IMEI also. Once all files have been loaded then just press the DOOWNLOAD button and wait to complete. Once done you can power ON the phone and it should boot.

I can do this for a Redmi 9a?
Using the same download agent
Hello, i did it but i did the mistake to do a FORMAT AND DOWNLOAD.
No my phone juste diplsay the Redmi logo a few second then power off.
I'm still able to go on the Sp Flash Tools and flash again. Anyone could help me please ?
hello sir so i recently hard bricked my redmi 9c nfc by installing older MIUI version that it came with. It was just black screen all the time and nothing. Tried this guide, mtk bypass tool worked but on sp flash tools i am greeted with this message.
Everything is acting like expected according to the video, but wheb I have used the mediatek bypass tool with green OK and stuff and when i start to press download on the smart phone flash tool, it just stucks at 0. Nothing happens, except that everything is greyed out and is trying to load it. If i boot my phone myself with the brom it says hint:add a authentication file or ask for help. I cant manage to finish it.
The error in Mediatek bypass tool about handshaking error is probably because i did it several times, because i didnt manage to load smartphone flash tool as attached below
This is my last hope to recover my brandew phone. Thanks for the good tutorial, but it didt work out. If someone could save me then I would be grateful
