I have a backup of my Stock ROM using MTK Droid Tools, and right now I have two problems:
1. Everytime I switched off the phone and start charging , the battery animation is going bad . What partitions I should re-flash to fix this problem ?
2. My Factory Mode (accessed via pressing Volume-Down and Power when the phone is switched off) is in chinese language. How to switch into english language or should I re-flash? Which partition?

What's needed:

  • USB data cable
  • MediaTek USB VCOM drivers
  • SP Flash Tool ( Latest version MTK Flash Tool v. 5.1343.01 (18.10.2013))


  • First of all, make sure that you have MediaTek DA USB VCOM drivers installed.

Flashing the whole ROM​
  • First of all open SP Flash Tool, then click Scatter-loading button to load the correct scatter file
    (MT6575_Android_scatter_emmc.txt or MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt, depending on which phone you have) for your device and ignore any message that may appear.


  • Turn off your phone, remove the battery and replace it after some seconds (and don't turn on the phone).
  • Press F9 (or hit Download button) and connect your phone into the computer via USB data cable.
    The process will start and a red progress bar will appear.





  • After the red progress bar is complete, there will appear a purple progress bar.


  • Right after the purple progress bar is complete, a message will appear underneath it:
    “Please insert USB cable in x seconds” and then the download will start right away (you will see the yellow progress bar filling up).



  • When the yellow bar is complete, you'll get a popup with a green circle and Download OK message,
    which means that the process has been successfully terminated.



  • You can now safely disconnect your phone and turn it on. The process ends here.
Flashing only part of the ROM​
  • In case you want to flash just one part of the ROM, that is also possible. In the shown example, only recovery image will be flashed.
    Deselect all parts except the one(s) you want to flash and then press F9 (or hit Download button).


  • The tool will immediately show a warning because not all parts are selected, but you should continue anyway. Safely press Yes to continue.



  • The download of the chosen partition image will start and after the yellow bar is complete, the popup with the green circle should appear.





  • Please note that, even though it isn't mandatory to select it on the list of images to flash,
    preloader file must be present in the same folder as the other partition(s) that you want to flash, or else phone will not be able to enter into download mode.

Attention: Please follow the instructions carefully. I will not take any responsibility on whatever may happen with your phone.

Very important warning: Always make sure that you trust the sources of the ROM you download and know that it is meant for your phone.
After flashing a wrong preloader, your phone will be completely dead (can't be powered on, it will not charge and won't be detected anymore by the computer) and there is no way to recover it.

I'm sorry about that.. My phone is a Huawei G700-U10. Unfortunately, while installing a custom ROM from SD, i selected a wrong firmware file by mistake and the phone is bricked. I try turning On, it vibrates, but no display.. I tried to flash just the recovery from SP Tools, it gives a download complete, but phone still does not boot. Now i downloaded the complete OS pack, Flash tools, ROM, Update.app everything is included by the company itself so i have no doubt that they are fake.. But, i find that error when i run the SP Flash Tools :(

Coming to my Laptop, it's a HP ProBook6460b, MCA Fee Antivirus, Intel CORE I5 Processor, Win 7 64 bit OS, 8 GB RAM.. any other info i need to give you, please let me know and i will be glad to share it :)

No FAT partition :(

After I flash my ROM backup, my internal phone memory is not detected. I don't know but I think that this is the problem: Mount Points

My device is a Alps GT I9500 S4 Clone, MT6572 with Ubifs. This is my Map Block, check Fat partition:

f6bce71f9e9add4a8c55ff2334dfd86a.png


And this is my sister's phone (same device):

d5490757ed512a0bc4b54173b42937e6.png


According to the image, the fat partition has no mount point is not mounted. Anyone know how to do it through SP Flash Tools?

By the way, in my sister's cell phone I found in the folder / fat a file called fat.img. I have this folder too but empty, no allocated space.

Thanks

You can FlashTool if you have a backup of original stock.
Flashing a wrong recovery don't block a boot of a device. Probably the problem i due a loading of a new ROM (not only recovery) not compatible with your device.

thanks for the reply... i recall before i installed the wrong recovery, i even attempted to install a custom rom using the working recovery but it failed, says "installation aborted" and reverted me back to the stock rom. then installed the wrong recovery via mobileuncle and it happened.

anyway, i just downloaded an original stock rom p780 but i cant exactly flash easily. since phone restarts every 5 seconds, i cant install the mediatek driver properly as it appears/disappears in device manager of my windows 8.

question: in meta mode [power+vol down], cdc serial appears in device manager instead of mt6xx preloader. how can i continue further with mediatek, or is cdc serial the key here?

    - Mediatek USB/ADB driver

    To use Flashtool you should have installer Mediatek USB preloader driver.

    There are two types of USB driver for Mediatek devices.

    - ADB USB driver for device working and switched on.
    - Preloader USB driver to flash the device that is switched off.

    To use Flashtool, in the PC should be already installed the USB Mediatek Preloader driver.
    This the latest version of Mediatek driver.
    This is the all-in.one driver (include both USB ADB & preloader driver).
    Is not required to disable driver sign in Windows.
    The driver is compatible with all 32/64bit Windows OS's (from Windows XP to Windows 10).

    USB driver Mediatek (ADB/preloader) v. 5.1632 - Auto installer

    How to install the USB ADB/Preloader driver

    - Disconnect the device from the PC.
    - Download and decompress the archive.
    - Run the exe installer file (decompressed from archive) as administrator (right click -> Run as administrator).
    - Follow the instruction on video and wait the end of installation
    - At the end of installation close the installer and reboot the PC.
    - Now the drivers are available for flash.


    - Flashtool version

    The new version 5.xx include the support of new 64bit Mediatek CPU (MT67xx - ex. MT6732/MT6752/etc)
    The new version 5.xx are also compatible with 32bit Mediatek CPU (MT65xx - ex. MT6582/6589/6592) and new 64bit Mediatek CPU (MT67xx - es. MT6732/MT67527etc).

    - "PMT Changed" error

    If you get an error like "PMT Changed" (it means that partition scheme of current ROM and new ROM are different) and are you sure that the ROM is specific for your device you can use a special version of Flashtool 3.xx that bypass this error.

    SP Flash Toolv. 3.1313 mod


    - Direct Memory Write

    To bypass a "PMT changed" error (it means that the partition scheme described in the scatter of the new ROM is different than the ROM installed) there are two ways

    - If you have to flash the whole flash you can select in Flashtool the FIRWARE UPGRADE mode.
    - If you have to flash single module/partition you can use Direct Memory Write

    There are two ways to get around the PMT error. First way is to use an earlier version of the SP Flash Tool. Like version 3. But this does not always solve the problem.

    The second way is to use the hidden Write Memory tab (hit the Ctrl-Alt-V combination on the keyboard to enter Advanced Mode, then select the Window > Write Memory option from the drop down menu. The Write Memory tab will then appear). Use the Write Memory tab to flash the images directly to the partition you wish starting from the memory address you specify. So if you had made a full ROM backup before you bricked your device (most people unfortunately fail to take this simple precaution), you would simply flash that ROM file starting at address 0x0.

    You can find the correct starting addresses for each partition either on the download tab or by looking at the starting linear address in the scatter.txt file. For a softbrick, you might simply want to successively flash the boot.img, the recovery.img and the system.img to their appropriate partitions using the Write Memory tab.

    When you use the Write Memory tab to flash, you must turn the phone off BUT leave the battery INSIDE the phone then connect the USB cable.

    The Write Memory feature will only work if you identify the Preloader.bin file on the Download tab (so you must check the Preloader box on the Download tab). BUT DO NOT CHECK THE PRELOADER BOX IF YOU ARE GOING TO USE THE DOWNLOAD TAB TO FLASH THE DEVICE. ONLY CHECK THAT BOX IF YOU ARE GOING TO USE THE WRITE MEMORY TAB TO FLASH.

    If you don't have the preloader.bin file, simply use the Read Back tab to dump it from the phone.

    Finally, be absolutely sure you have the correct ROM for your phone. If the ROM is not the correct one for your device and you flash the wrong boot, recovery or system images to the phone, it will not boot. It will remain or become bricked. The fact that a ROM is for the same MTK chipset as your phone does NOT mean it's the correct ROM for your phone!
