[Tutorial] How to install Mediatek USB VCOM drivers in Windows
The procedure below will explain how to manually install MediaTek USB VCOM drivers on your Windows PC
Quote:In this tutorial, I'll be explaining how to manually install VCOM drivers on a Windows PC. Now, VCOM driver is very
important especially when you want to see SP flash tool because without your VCOM drivers, you can't use SP flash. You'll usually notice that when you try flashing a file or doing a readback using SP flash tool without VCOM drivers, once you switch off your phone and connect it to the PC, all you'll see is the phone charging.
That means you don't have VCOM drivers. So in this guide, I'll be explaining how to install VCOM drivers manually to enable your phone and SP Flash tool communicate effectively. Now, if you're using a Windows 8 (or 10) PC you'll want to disable signature verification. I will not be going into that here but just go to our forum, search for how to disable signature verification on Windows 8 before you can install your VCOM drivers. So, the first thing you'll want to do is to open Device Manager so I'll search for Device Manager. Alright!
In device manager, what you'll want to do is click any of these items then click on Action then Add legacy hardware. Click on Next, you select Install the hardware that I manually select from a list that is advanced, Click Next, here you just go ahead and click Next. Here you click Have Disk. Now, in this box, you click on Browse then you go to the VCOM folder here. Now, its basically the same method when you are trying to manually install a driver. All you have to do is locate the .inf file for that driver you're trying to install but in this case, what we are treating is VCOM driver.
If I was treating another driver, all I have to do is go through the entire driver folder, look for a .INF file and wherever I see that .INF file which is the setup information file, I just select it in this window here but in this case, we are installing a VCOM driver so I know where my .inf file is for the VCOM, I know the location for the VCOM .INF file so I just go straight to it.
Now, in this case it's in the Mediatek folder, Drivers, USB VCOM driver. I'm using a Windows 8 so I'll want to use the Windows 7 (.inf). Ensure you select the correct one for your OS here. I'll select the Windows 7. Now, I'm using a 64-bit PC so I select the one for 64. If you're using a 32, you select 32 and click Open then OK. Now, you'll want to select Mediatek Preloader USB VCOM Port in this step and then you click Next and then Next.
Wait for the driver to finish installing and click Finish
