This guide will explain how to flash stock rom or firmware to Feature Mediatek (MTK) or Spreadtrum (SPD) phones using Miracle Box.  Feature phones usually run on older chipsets so the flashing technique is slightly different.

  9. Wait till flashing is complete

Important Notice
  • Miracle Box ideally requires a hardware box / dongle. Running the setup without the hardware won't work
  • If you're using the loader version (no hardware box needed) then your antivirus might flag it. You are entirely responsible for the decision to heed or ignore the warning
  • Avoid interrupting the flashing process as this could cause the phone to go dead
  • Its best you only flash firmware for your model and backup before flashing just in case the new rom makes the device worse

Quote:Hi! In this tutorial, I'm going to show you how to flash a Mediatek feature phone using miracle (box). If you don't have Miracle, you need to download (it) and you also need to have your phone's firmware. If you don't have the firmware, you can download on Hovatek.com under Android firmware map, requests, complaints and suggestions thread.

You can look for your phone model and download your phone's firmware. You can also get your phone's firmware by backing up from a working phone of the same model . Once you have downloaded the firmware, the firmware must be in .bin that's .bin (the format that Miracle supports) if its a feature phone. The next thing to do is open your Miracle tool I'm using the loader version.

Wait for it to finish loading once miracle has loaded go to the MTK tab, under Services. You click Write (that's write firmware). Then the next thing to do is select your phone's chipset here. If you don't know your phone's chipset you can just leave it on Auto Connect. That will automatically identify your phone's chipset. Then the next thing to do is locate your firmware by clicking this small icon here.

I've saved my firmware under this folder (files). This is the firmware folder then click on it then click the Start button. While connecting your phone, you need to press your phone's boot key because feature phones usually have a boot key that you'll have to press before connecting your phone.

The boot key might be the 0 key, it might also be the dial key, the menu key or any of these keys so if you don't know your phone's exact boot key, try any of the keys one after the other till you identify which one is your phone's boot key. The next thing to do is connect my phone, that's press the boot key and connect my phone.

I'm going to connect mine now using the USB cable. You'll have to wait for it to finish loading the firmware. I'm going to pause this video because it's (flashing) going to take some time you have to keep waiting for it. Its going to take some time before it will finish writing the firmware..it depends on your firmware's size if your firmware (size) is very heavy, its going to take a lot of time but this one is not going to take long.

See? Write OK that means my phone is flashed successfully. Thank you for watching.
