This tutorial will explain how to use that DA file you just downloaded for your Mediatek (MTK) device with Secure Boot. You'll need the DA file to backup, flash, bypass Factory Reset Protection (FRP) etc on whatever MTK Flash Tool you're using. This guide covers SP flash tool, NCK Pro Box & Infinity CM2 box.

Important Notice
  • Some DA files are tool-specific (i.e will only work with a specific Mediatek tool) so try them on as many Mediatek Flash tools as you can
  • Only Mediatek devices with Secure Boot require a DA file
  • If you can't find a DA file for your model then use tools like mtkclient

See the video tutorial below or @ https://youtu.be/k0b2RDh7U-M

your device doesn't require custom DA -- you were able to read and write with needing one
secure boot is a totally different security feature from the one you're facing on your device. refer to https://www.hovatek.com/blog/so-whats-al...-da-files/
