Solved : See last post. (tl;dr : flashed another zip through stock recovery)
Hi everyone !
I'm in a frustrating situation at the moment and I need some help.
The Problem
Everytime I try to flash the Stock ROM (or anything, even format/readback/etc...) with SP Flash Tools, I get the following error : "S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032)".
Probably a VCOM driver problem, but I just can't get them to work.
Main Infos :
- Device : Iconia Tab 10 (A3-A40) - Unlocked Bootloader
- Chipset : MT8163
- PC OS : Windows 10 x64
- The tablet is not bricked, I just do not have anything installed (wiped /system, /data, /cache (+ Dalvik)), preparing to flash the stock rom.
What I Have Tried
- Multiple SPFT versions (currently using the lastest, v1824).
- Multiple VCOM, CDC & MTK drivers with uninstalling of drivers before using another one (SPFT recognizes the tablet either as "Serial USB Device" or "MTK USB Device") (also tried W10 drivers found on XDA).
- Installing new drivers while it's trying to get the DA
The tablet itself is NOT BRICKED. It turns on & can boot in recovery or fastboot. It just hangs on the boot logo since no OS installed. I have the Stock ROM with the scatter file, fastboot & adb, etc...
I'm really confused as to why it's not working. I thought it would be because the chipset is not supported by SPFT, but apparently some other users successfully flashed the Stock ROM using it.
Any help would be appreciated, I don't know what to do anymore 3:

After trying, still nothing.
Still getting the same error, and when I try to update from recovery, I get an error (can't install this package over newer build (the build on my tablet is from May 25th, 2017). The one you gave me is the one from the Acer support FTP, but it is from 2016.
Is there any way to completely remove the build from my tablet in order to upgrade from the older one, or to change the build date of the ROM ? I can't seem to find the SD zip file for the May25th update.
Try this one :

Thanks ! This one actually worked. I had to edit updater-script to match the model ref though. Thank you so much for finding this !
FrWhyMe, I have the same problem as you had. A magisk update I should not have done....I've not managed to revert back. The table loops but I can get to recovery or fastboot. Reading back I'm not sure how you managed to fix it. Trying to flash the zip file from the previous link posted, I get the message about not being able to flash over a newer image. I've tried removing the first line of update-script and re-zip but the installation is aborted straight away. Any pointer would be welcome. Thanks.

I tried editing/updating the zip file from within 7zip by removing the line that checks version but the installation aborts without any useful message. It does look like it goes ones step further.....To be honest I've not had time to look further into it, I've not giving up yet .

there is not flashable firmware using SPFT for this tablet (((
they are only 3 stock firmware....and no one works for me.....it is one new: SDs_Acer_AV0M0_A3-A40_RV09RC01_WW_GEN1.zip
but you need to pay if you want to download it.....(
I managed to fix my tablet
The main issue I had was that I thought (after reading some posts) that editing a zip file using 7zip would not break the zip file signature verification but it did...I basically edited the updater-script file of the acer zip file to remove the version check and flash it from twrp to bypass signature verification. Let me explain what I did in more details. Keep in mind that my tablet has an unlocked bootloader and was rooted prior to the issues i had.
First, find out which file you need to download:
1. with the tablet powered off, press the power and volume up button together until the screen shows something then release them
2. you should now see the recovery menu
3. the tablet model should show on the second line - "jetfirefhd" for mine
4. download the right file from the acer website - AV0M0.RV03RC04.WW.GEN1, 1.5GB, 2016/08/15 for mine
Secondly, edit the zip file to avoid the message about not being able to flash over a newer version.
5. i used 7zip to open the downloaded zip file
6. browse to /META-INF/com/google/android
7. drag and drop updater-script onto your desktop
8. open the file with your favorite ext editor
9. delete the first line of the file (ends with ";") - this should remove the version check
10. save the file and then drag and drop it back into 7zip to overwrite the existing file
11. close 7zip and save when asked.
12. copy the file on a sd card for your tablet
Thirdly, lets flash the file from twrp (i used a linux to avoid win10 driver issues etc...) - these are the same steps as rooting once you've unlocked the bootloader. you need to download recovery.img / magisk v13 / no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1. Details here https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/acer-iconia-tab-a3.1801/root-fuer-a40.797192-page-3.html
13. repeat step #1 to go into recovery
14. select rebooting into bootloader
15. you should now see a fastboot message
16. from your pc/laptop start the command "./fastboot boot recovery.img
17. from twrp, format /data
18. clear cache/dalvik
19. flash your edited zip file
20. flash no-verity-opt-encrypt
21. flash magisk - the tablet would not boot for me unless i flashed this as it was rooted previously
21. reboot.
22. that should be it
I hope it didn't miss anything.
Only niggly issue I've got is that it's telling me there's an update but it cannot apply it as it is rooted. I tried using the uninstall magisk zip but it made no difference. I'm wondering if the bootloader needs relocked. Ideally I'd like to perform the update as it's nearly 300MB. The tablet is running fine though so i'm very happy to have it back
Good luck for anyone still stuck.

I have root and recovery on my ascend Ascend D1 (u9500) (NOT Quad!)
First i followed steps 1-7 here:
[not allowed to post link since i have to few posts]
ht tp : / / johnnyparanoia.blogspot . se/2012/06/how-to-root-huawei-ascend-p1-u9200.html
In step one i chose ("just the tools...")
To get ClockWorkMod Recovery i had to experiment a bit. Note that i believe that using CWM might hinder the possibilities to install official updates from Huawei.
How i did i wrote in a comment to the blog post previously mentioned.
I managed to install recovery (ClockWorkMod Recovery v5.8.4.5) after a lot of messing around.
First i installed Android Control (to c:\AndroidControl)
I downloaded cwm_touch_recovery_viva_beta.img and put it in c:\AndroidControl
Then i went into the phones download mode (or whatever it is called) by:
a: Turning off phone and wait a while
b: Hold Volume down and connect usb cable from computer
Now a new device shows up called Blaze. No driver could be identified. (in W7x64)
I Selected it in Device Manager and forced it to use "Android adapter ADB Interface" (I selected: Update driver software / Browse my computer... / Let me pick from a list... / Mobile phone (I think it was) / Android adapter ADB Interface).
I had the driver availible there. This might be from installing HiSuite earlier.
Now i started the command prompt (cmd) and went to c:\AndroidControl.
Then i ran the commands:
"fastboot devices" (to confirm that the device was identified. If no device is found an error will be thrown.)
"fastboot flash recovery cwm_touch_recovery_viva_beta.img"
"fastboot reboot"
Baseband version is: "IMC1202_20120620_PENTA"
Kernel version is: 3.0.8-00028-gf1d0793 [email protected] #1
Build number is: U9500-1V100R001C00B215
Kurbits!
Actually I did tried hard to follow your steps but it dostn't work. Luckily, after a long day trying i'm now successfully got my D1 a CWM (ClockWorkMod Recovery v5.8.4.5).
However, still i can't ROOT it, i've been tried the UnlockRoot but no chance. Can you tell me how you have it ROOTED?
I plan to flash an international version but the process always aborted. Is there any trick to do it? The CWM always look for UPDATE.ZIP while the firmware that I've downloaded has only UPDATE.APP
Do you have any suggestions on how this can be accomplished?
Thanks!

Where does it go wrong? I´ll qoute the steps for reference only.
The url referred in step one is: h ttp://w ww.mediafire.com/?7pdfh11ue8ykyk6
Step 1 - Download ...just the tools here - b113 b115 root u9200[Nixing] Tools Only and extract to your desktop.
Step 2 - Enable USB debugging on your phone - Settings -> Developer options -> USB debugging and plug it into your PC
Step 3 - Run hwadb.exe and let it finish.
Step 4 - Run ubl.exe and wait for it to finish.
Step 5 - Disconnect your phone from your PC and Reboot.
Step 6 - Check to see if Superuser has been installed on your phone.
Step 7 - If you find Superuser in your menu, Congratulations your phone is rooted

I got it to work without problem. If you can specify where it goes wrong could you post a screenshot of what happens or be more specific about which step that does not seem to work.
Kurbits!
Thanks for the reply. I've successfully rooted it now but not with the steps in the URL u provided. What I did was tried to fix the permission and root it via CWM.
Anyway, what I really wanna do now is to flash it with international firmware offered in Huawei download page for D1. But the thing is that the firmware is come with UPDATE.APP instead of UPDATE.ZIP and I did try to rename it but no chance, always aborted.
Do you have any idea how to get it done?
Cheers

the automated process from this thread did not work on my D1, but this manual process did:
download mempodroid and su from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21756513&postcount=1
follow all instructions in that post up to the mempodroid command (1st 4)
execute mempodroid with these args instead (copied from the ubl.exe tool posted by the OP)
Code:
./mempodroid 0xd734 0xad9f sh
execute the rest of the commands from the mempodroid root post (up to the adb reboot)
Hey did you try the Bin4ry method? its so simple and took me seconds to root!
I am on the quad but im sure it should work through this restore method!

Reflashing U9500 to stock / Upgrading HUAWEI firmware
I have been searching these and other forums for a while trying to determine how to (a) update my CWM & rooted U9500 to the newest huawei build (221), and (b) return the phone entirely to stock (remove root & CWM). The main issue with either is that with CWM installed I couldn't figure out how to install Huawei's firmware UPDATE.APP files retrieved from their website. Here's how I got that to work:
I used the current firmware from Huawei: U9500-1,Android 4.0,V100R001C00B221,General Version (I can't post links)
Extract the HUAWEI zip and copy the dload folder (containing UPDATE.APP) to a micro sd card
Download split_updata.pl & crc binary from modaco.com forum (google "Repacking UPDATA.APP")
Run the split_updata.pl script with the path to UPDATE.APP as a command line argument. It should extract a bunch of unknown files to the output directory.
unknown_file.7 (should be 5697536 bytes) is the official recovery partition. This is what you will replace CWM with. You can rename it to recovery.img, or just use the created filename when flashing.
Boot phone in download mode:
* Power off
* Hold POWER & VOLUME DOWN buttons
* Release both when Huawei logo appears
* Phone should not continue booting or enter CWM
Run fastboot devices and make sure something is listed (mine only printed a bunch of question marks, but it worked fine)
Run fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Run fastboot reboot
After the phone boots up normally, go to settings -> storage -> software upgrade -> sd card upgade and click confirm.
This will reboot into the official recovery image and start the upgrade process. This will also remove CWM, root/superuser, and any other changes to the OS you have made.
If you were just looking to upgrade, you can reflash CWM and/or root the phone again. If you were looking to return to stock, you can then reboot into Android and run the factory reset option.

You need to correctly install the drivers for both adb and fastboot.
It would be a nightmare on a 64bit Windows system, but it's quite easy on Linux/MacOS systems.
Hi all. I will try to write an tutorial for all who want to root your new update firmware.
First lets consider that you have updated your firmware and booted at least one time.
Now what we need is: one PC,cable to conect your phone to PC, and 2 tools: TWRP 2.7.1.1 for KK and Superuser or SuperSU at least 2.16, no less.
Lets begin.
1. Connect your phone to your PC and install phone drivers correctly.
2. Copy superuser.zip or SuperSU on your SDCARD. Remember: only one is good. DO NOT FLASH BOTH. Flash the one you like.
3. Disconnect your phone from PC.
4. Extract files from TWRP 2.7.1.1 or the newest one TWRP 2.8.4.0 rev 2 archive on some folder on your PC.(Remember the folder )
5. In your folder that you extracted your archive you should find recovery.img and one scatter file.
6. Now you must have this FlashTool - SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1304.0.119 or SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1352.01. Not Optional.
7. Power Off your phone.
8. After power off your phone open FlahTool and browse for the scatter file your folder where are the recovery.img and scatter file.
9. Now comes the tricky part .
10. Load the scatter file and mark DA DL with check sum in SP Flash Tool v3. In SP Flash Tool v 5 dont need. They are allready selected. Recovery.img should appear checked.
10.1. I have updated the post with some custom scatter files for 4GB and 8GB Firmware. Iff you get diferent errors when you flash the recovery file use this custom scatter files.
11. Press Download NOT FIRMWARE UPGRADE.
12. Now, just now plug the cabble on your phone. Download should start and a green circle should appear.
13. After this you should have custom recovery TWRP installed.
14. Then boot directly to recovery your phone by pressing power with vol + and vol - butons together. Not Optional!
15. From TWRP flash Superuser.zip or SuperSU 2.xx. SuperSU is fixed. Works fine now.
16. Voila you have your KitKat rooted.
17. Now go to Magazin Play and download an RootChecker app and verify.
Hope this helped. For me worked with no mistake.
Waiting for feedback.
Update:
I have uploaded TWRP Corrected by Javum. Thanks Javum. And it is working on ROW 226 and 227 tested personaly by installing patches, superuser and making backups.

If the 12 point doesn't work it means that you don't have the driver installed or installed correctly. Check the drivers.

Your phone seems to be produced in 2014. For this phones must do this:
1. Must flash with another preloader.
Look for this ROM : P780_S136_140306_Lang.7z
Flash this Rom then OTA update.
Then tell me if it works.

Intel Android Devices Root / Temp CWM Session
CLICK HERE DONATE NOW : AND MAKE MY LIFE EASIER BY HELPING BUY ME AN UNLOCKED DEVICE
Tethered Temporary CWM Recovery Session :
Note : This is a Temporary CWM Recovery Session for some Intel Devices with locked bootloaders, This recovery is not installed to the devices and has to be launched from a computer ( tethered ) each time you need to access the CWM Recovery. . .
WARNING : This Temporary CWM Recovery Session is for some Intel Devices with locked boot loaders , it is not intended for installing custom roms as if the devices has a locked bootloader the device will fail to boot the unsigned images
Intel Fastboot Tethered Temporary Recovery Session Launcher download :
IntelAndroid-FBRL-01-17-2015.7z
Changes :
Fixed recovery.fstab generation should work for almost every device i can't guarantee for all devices if device uses some funky mounting point or a block device other than /dev/block/mmcblk1xx but after reviewing more than 50 different recovery.fstab from various fastboot.img i think i covered all the common intel devices.
If needed you can always include your own custom recovery.fstab in the recovery.zip
fstab generation automatically marks reserved / hidden partitions fs_types as emmc to prevent recursive mount loops this has the added benefit for devices that use traditional mount points for boot / recovery they are now able to be backed up too.
fixed adb on devices that don't have adbd as a service in fastboot.img init.rc
Note : WORKING
backing up to external storage / internal storage
unsigned .zip installation
adb root shell
you tell me
Note : KNOWN BUGS
installing using adb side-loading of zips doesn't work and breaks adb
you tell me
Generic Instructions for use better instructions coming later just wanted to get the thread up :
notes :
make sure you have downloaded and installed the adb / fastboot drivers for your device . . .
make sure you have enabled developer options / adb debugging under settings on your device . . .
make sure you have download the latest : UPDATE-SuperSU-vX.Xx.zip and place it on your internal or external_sd
1 : download and extract IntelAndroid-FBRL-01-17-2015.7z some where on your computer.
2 : double click the launcher.bat file to start , type " ACCEPT " case sensitive without quotes to continue
check that the tool is reporting as either :
DEVICE STATUS: ADB-ONLINE
DEVICE STATUS: FASTBOOT-ONLINE
If " DEVICE STATUS: UNKNOWN " please check your cable connection and driver installation under Windows Device Manager
If " DEVICE STATUS: UNAUTHORIZED " please check if your devices is displaying an authorization prompt be sure to check Always allow from this computer and then press ok
3 : select the trigger to launch the Temporary CWM Recovery Session support fastboot oem triggers are :
T1 oem startftm ( very few devices support this command , but its the original used so )
devices supported : coming soon
T2 oem backup_factory ( limited devices support this command )
devices supported : coming soon
T3 oem stop_partitioning ( should work on alot of kitkat builds )
devices supported : coming soon
4 : after selecting the trigger your device should reboot in to fastboot and begin to copy files to your device
note : if your device hangs at the waiting-for-device screen and you see droidboot CMD Waiting on your devices double check that the fastboot driver installed correctly.
note : if you see unknown oem command the trigger isn't supported by your device.
5 : The temporary cwm recovery session should be started at this point select install zip from the recovery menu using vol up / vol down to navigate and power to select
6 : select install zip from sdcard / external_sd depending on where you placed the file and select the UPDATE-SuperSU-vX.Xx.zip you downloaded earlier
7 : confirm the installation
8 : after install completes reboot your device
note :
some devices have limited space under /system and the supersu app wont install
if you don't see the supersu app on your device attempt to install it from the playstore
more than likely the su binary installed correctly but there want enough room on the device for the app.

T3 don't be in a rush! It says failed but then will load anyways. Wait for it! Use the very first link here. To root ¿ well when in recovery, flash superuser zip. Wait for it! Reboot from the cwm menu. In windows you can leave the device on normal and when you execute the launcher bat it'll put the tab in its proper mode. Just choose T3 and flash super user zip and then reboot.
it's android. i am using a windows 7 machine...
it boots into droidboot and just sits at cmd waiting.... i waited about 10 minutes. i am missing a step. can someone create a youtube video to follow by? i am willing to donate 10 bucks. thanks

Sorry I didn't get back sooner , the issue is the fastboot driver installed as an adb driver seems to happen to most Intel devices.
Anyways with the device booted into droidboot open windows device manager select the adb device and right click and update driver software. Select browse my computer. select let me pick. then select the bootloader driver .
No donation required gotta get back to playing with my little girl i'll add pics later.
ok thanks man, pics will help me, i'm not too bright.
i will try that. as the device is waiting on droidboot, i will open device manager, and load the driver (where can i download this driver?)
Thanks for trying to help me guys. I give up. Too hard.
Yes! I did it! the social concepts step was what i was missing... thanks man i am rooted
Perfect!!

Hi , today I want to share with you how to fix soft-bricked Lenovo a390 which can't pass Lenovo boot animation , can't enter into recovery because it doesn't have any option .
So here we go :

- USB drivers (stored inside stock firmware)
Let's begin .

2. Now open firmware and delete CheckSum.ini because it shows error at the end of flashing with Sp flash tool when is that file inside firmware.
3. Now open SP flash tool add MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt , make sure that everything is checked , click on Format now check Auto format Nand Flash and Format whole flash except Bootloader and NVRAM Bin Region and click OK .
4. Now make sure your device is off , and plug usb cable on your phone and connect with PC now the format will begin . Once is finish , re-connect your phone with PC and fast click on Download button . Wait when is flashing finish , and once is finish unplug usb from your .

Now when everything is finish , power up your device normaly and check your if is everything working like IMEI , WIFI , Bluetooth .
Check imei *#06# it the status is invalid , turn off your device , write somewhere those two imei numbers check twice if is everything okay go to dialer and write this code *#*#3646633#*#* , now EngineerMode will pop up , scroll up and click on CDS Information now go to Radio Information now click on Phone 1 write inside input box AT+EGMR=1,7,"here you need to write your first 15 digit imei number" and click on SEND AT COMMAND , now go back and click on Phone 2 ] write inside input box AT+EGMR=1,10,"here you need to write your first 15 digit imei number" and click on SEND AT COMMAND . Once you do that , Power Off your device and power ON again , the problem should be solved .
For those who have wifi error nvram warning err= 0x10 you need to root your device .
This is the way for rooting which works for me :
- connect your phone with wifi network and download and install Framaroot 1.9.3 APK
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ap...pk-to-root-t2130276/post37508806#post37508806
once you downloaded open app and allow uncommon sources in order to install app , go back to Download folder and install . Once you installed , open it and click on Install SuperSU and from drop menu click on Faramir once rooting is finish turn off your phone and turn on again .
Now download this app MTK 0x10NVRam Fix from this link
https://apkpure.com/mtk-nvram-0x10-fix/itz.cod3r.mtk0x10
Once you downloaded open app and allow uncommon sources in order to install app , go back to Download folder and install . Once you installed , open it and when is finish reboot your device and the problem will be solved .
Good Luck
Hello everyone! This is my first post, I'm very very new here If I somehow missed a rule or two and shouldn't have posted here or etc DO TELL ME, Im open to anything and I appreciate it! To the point, I won't stretch the topic, I'll tell you how I rooted my Gionee x1 device, and the problems I faced and their solutions. You may ask yourselves or just come reply here, Who even owns that device, Well I own one and I wasn't able to root this device it was hard, so for the other mates out their having bought this piece of brick.
and, there's a reason to why Im writing this topic, do read to the end.
So, to start I first of all researched alot both on google and xda forums for any way of doing it, most of which either didn't work or were not supporting my device(f.e. One Click Root Methods didn't work at all).
1. This post has a reply by ZedLens, which is awesome but to my surprise it didn't work for me.
2. This post BusinessKid is a great tutorial for any MTK Device, but the 3rd step of "The Download Stuff:" I couldn't find the scatter for my device.
3. I've a strict download limit for my internet, so I couldn't download the Stock ROM, so I somehow had to extract it from my device, which I failed why? MTK Droid Tool wasn't able to recognize my device. I diagnosed for all possible reasons for this, bad USB check, bad device port check, wrong process check nothing worked, so at the end of the day I somehow managed to download the Stock ROM of Gionee X1 and EVERYONE HAS TO DO IT IN THE END, you'll really need it anyhow.
Now the rooting process,
Tools/Stuff I used:
1. SP Flash Tool(This thing here, is like your hand during examination)
2. MTK Drivers(Important)
3. Stock Gionee X1 ROM
4. Magisk Manager App
I'll attach the Magisk Patched boot.img here along with the scatter so that you can directly flash the boot img instead of wasting time to download the stock rom and etc etc. also you can reply down here if you need any other file, I'll send it to you somehow :3
NOTE: All the images, links, tools, programs and everything belong to their respective owners!! Everything you are doing with the steps above are STIRCTLY your responsibility, if you do it wrong and brick your device you can't charge me for bricking your device, only you and you will be held responsible for any damage/sucess/etc to your device.
Steps to install:
1. Get Stock boot img
2. Install Magisk Manager (DON'T DOWNLOAD IT FROM ANYWHERE use TopJohnWu's Github)
3. Somehow get the Stock boot img into your Internal Storage or anywhere, where Magisk Manager can find and Patch it, Use adb push, connect usb and copy it to the Internal Storage, ANYHOW.
4. After copying, Open Magisk Manager, you'll find two things on the main screen, one is Magisk which has status infos such as (Installed: ), (SAR: ), (A/B: ) and (RAMDISK: ). Within the same square which contains those status info you'll find a Install click on it.
4.1. After clicking on install you'll get a new menu, select next in the Options Square ignoring the choices there(Preserve AVB 2.0 blah blah) and click Next. Now you'll be in the Methods Square here, you select "Select and Patch a File", now locate to the Image and after successfully locating and selecting it click on Let's Go on the right cornor.
4.2. If your image is patched successfully your log in front of you will look something like this:
- Device platform: armeabi-v7a
- Installing: 23.0 (23000)
- Copying image to cache
- Boot image is signed with AVB 1.0
- Unpacking boot image
- Checking ramdisk status
- Stock boot image detected
- Patching ramdisk
- Repacking boot image
- Signing boot image with verity keys

- All done!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4.3. You have your patched boot image!!
5. Now get the patched image back to your pc -.-
6. Prepare yourself to focus, Im not responsible for your bricked device!
7. Goto This XDA Post for Tutorial and Information about SP Flash Tool, MTK Drivers ADB Drivers, etc etc.
8. Download and Install MTK Drivers(Link Credit: Bovirus' this post)
1. You'll find a exe, just execute it and it'll be installed automatically.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
9. Download and open SP Flash Tool and select Scatter-loading file.
10. Now After you've selected the scatter loading file you'll find there are various selections in front of you, Preloader, lk, boot, recovery and etc etc
10.1. DESELECT or UNSELECT (OR WHATEVER YOU CALL IT) every selection other than boot.
10.2. In the row of boot/bootimg, (remember the patched boot image?) click on LOCATION you'll get a explorer window to locate to the patched boot image, locate and select it. In the last it should look something like this:
https://imgur.com/a/WMbTTAC
10.3. Click on Download in SP Flash Tool and connect the device, see next step.
11. Power Off the device and Remove the battery(See 3. in Issues I faced).
12. Now while pressing the Volume UP and Down Button together, connect the M-USB to your device port. I can't explain this but, firstly connect the USB cable to your pc then to your device haha.
13. You'll hear the device connected sound of Windows(If windows user) and the flashing will start
14. Reboot to OS and Voila! Check your Magisk Manager, your device is now rooted! Do remember to install the Magisk App just below the Magisk Root Check!
Now, issues I faced:
1. Device wasn't connecting to the SP Flash Tool, I reinstalled the MTK Drivers but it didn't do any change.
2. FastBoot flashing didn't work, I opted for SP Flash Tool later.
3. Device was starting into Factory mode and/or Recovery mode whenever I pressed Volume UP/Down and then connecting the device through USB, removable battery came to my rescue. Removed the battery, pressed both volume Up and Down button and then connected the USB.
NOTE: Again, all the images, links, tools, programs and everything belong to their respective owners!! Everything you are doing with the steps above are STIRCTLY your responsibility, if you do it wrong and brick your device you can't charge me for bricking your device, only you and you will be held responsible for any damage/success/etc to your device.
Links for boot.img and scatter file: Here is the MediaFire link, I've scanned the files with my Quick Heal Total Security I'm not those multidadoffspring who likes to spread virus/malware etc. and Here is the VirusTotal Link.
Feel free to tell me my errors and mark how can I improve, I appreciate it
And also, if you need any other file from the Stock ROM of the same device, do tell me here or DM at my insta: heartwastaken
Sorry for my bad English.
Thank you!!
Have a great Day
