Follow the steps below to learn how to flash stock rom using SoftwareDownload tool
See the video below or @ https://youtu.be/3nUmxXS26_cQuote:In this video tutorial, I'll be explaining how to flash a Mediatek Android device using Software Download tool. First off, you need to have downloaded the tool, I have mine here. You also need to have the firmware for the device which you intend to flash.
I'm using an Itel A32F for this video. I have my phone right here and the firmware right here its in scatter format okay? And of course you need to have installed your Mediatek USB VCOM drivers. We also have a guide for that on our YouTube channel and the forum so check out that guide, install your drivers, then come back to this guide.
Now, once you have these in place, the next thing you want to do is to open your software download folder. Now
this tool, by default, requires a checksum file. A checksum verifies the integrity of your firmware okay? now we already have a guide on how to generate a checksum for your firmware.
You can check out that guide., generate your checksum.ini and then copy it into the firmware folder but if you do not want to have to go through that stress you can simply disable the checksum check for this tool. Now, to do that you need to just open the config folder. You open the CommonSetting file using notepad++.
If you do not have notepad++, make sure you download and install that application. Now what you want to do so head over to the COMMON section. You want to change Checksum from 1 to 0. You also want to change the FlashChecksum from 1 to 0 and then you want to save (Ctrl + S) alright? Now once you've done that, you might want to close the file and come back to the parent folder.
Now you're going to launch the SWD.exe application so I'm going to go ahead and launch that. Now, once the dashboard is up, what you want to do next is to click on the Setting icon just here and then You click on load. Now what you want to do is navigate to the location where you have your firmware.
I have mine in the software download folder so I 'm just going to open and then you highlight the scatter file then you click on Open If you don't know what a scatter file looks like, it's a text file MTxxxx_ (that's your phone's chipset)_Android_scatter so you just select that, highlight the file and you click on open.
Now, you want to select the flash option. You have Firmware Upgrade, Format All and Download, Backup and Recovery Download, Download only, reserve userdata. Now, if you're unsure what to select, just select Download only, reserve userdata alright? and then You click on confirm...so now we have the firmware loaded.
The next thing You want to do is to get on with flashing, so what you do next is to click on this green play icon and then it's going to change to a red stop. Now, at this point, you want to power off the device which you intend to flash, then you'll connect it to the PC via a USB cord. You do not hold any button when connecting to the PC alright?
You just power off, still with battery in it, do not hold any button then you connect it via USB cord...so I'm going to do that right now. Don't forget you need to have installed your drivers else this tool will not be able to detect your device. I have detection! I have my DA connection ongoing okay?
File download has begun. I'm on 2% so what You want to do is just be patient, do not interrupt this process alright? because if You interrupt, the phone will go dead. Alright, so my flashing is at 36%. Don't forget, do not interrupt this process because if you do, the phone will go dead.
Now if ,for some reason, you interrupt the process and your phone goes dead then you have a number of options. The easiest option you have is to just take out the battery and then you reinsert okay? That's very easy and then you can try to power on and then try reflashing but if your battery is inbuilt then you might have to connect the phone to a power source and keep charging.
It could take hours, It could take days for it to come up. That's a very slow process but it does work. You need to keep charging the device or you connect it to a power source, You hold either the power button or the volume increase button or even hold both. That would trigger the device to exit Flash Mode and then it's going to come up again but it could be a very stressful process okay?
So just try avoid interacting with the phone while flashing is going on okay? so I have mine at 93%. I'm almost done with flashing I selected Download only...and any moment from now...alright! great! I have PASS so it says download complete so what You want to do is to disconnect the device from the PC then You power up and You're done flashing.
That's how to flash a Mediatek Android device using Software Download tool in scatter format. This tool also supports the bin format so you can also flash in .bin format
