Flashing a China Android mobile is a common solution when phones are not functioning correctly or when FRP (Factory Reset Protection) bypass fails. This process requires specific tools and steps. Below is a comprehensive guide for mobile technicians to flash China Android mobiles effectively.
What You Need Before Flashing
Before starting the flashing process, ensure you have the following:
- Mobile Chipset Type
Identify the chipset of the mobile phone. - Mobile Unlock Tool
A paid software used for unlocking and flashing phones. - Flashing File
A specific file required to flash the phone based on its chipset.
Step 1: Determine the Chipset Type
To identify the chipset of the China Android mobile:
- Search the model number along with the brand name and “Chipset” on Google.
- The chipset will typically be MTK (MediaTek), SPD (Spreadtrum), or QLM (Qualcomm).
Common Chipsets:
- MTK (MediaTek)
- SPD (Spreadtrum)
- QLM (Qualcomm)
Step 2: Mobile Unlock Tool
- Use a paid mobile unlocking tool compatible with the chipset.
- These tools are critical to load files and execute the flashing process. Examples include SP Flash Tool for MTK or QPST for Qualcomm.
Step 3: Download the Flashing File
For different chipsets, you will need different types of files. Here’s what you need for each:
- MTK Chipset requires a scatter file.
- SPD Chipset requires a pack file.
- QLM Chipset requires a raw program file.
To find the file:
- Search on Google using the mobile model followed by “flash file” (e.g., “Model XYZ flash file”).
Flashing Instructions for Different Chipsets
1. How to Flash Android Mobiles with MTK (MediaTek) Chipset
- Open the unlock tool and select the MediaTek option.
- Right-click and select Load Scatter.
- Load the scatter file downloaded earlier.
- Click on Flash.
- Turn the phone off.
- Press and hold the Volume Up button, then connect the phone to the computer via a USB cable.
- The flashing process will start automatically.
2. How to Flash Android Mobiles with SPD (Spreadtrum) Chipset
- Open the unlock tool and go to the Spreadtrum option.
- Right-click and select Load Pack.
- Upload the pack file.
- Click on Flash.
- Turn the phone off.
- Press and hold both Volume Up and Volume Down buttons simultaneously, then connect the phone via USB.
- The flashing will begin shortly.
3. How to Flash Android Mobiles with QLM (Qualcomm) Chipset
- Open the unlock tool and select the Qualcomm option.
- Click on Load Firmware and upload the raw program file.
- Click on Flash.
- Turn the phone off.
- Short the test points (if required for specific Qualcomm devices).
- Connect the phone to the computer via USB.
- The flashing process will start.
Tips for Successful Flashing
- Ensure you have a fully charged battery to avoid interruptions.
- Use genuine flash files to prevent compatibility issues.
- Confirm the chipset type to select the correct tools and files.
- Follow the steps carefully, as incorrect flashing can render the phone unusable.
Flashing a phone can solve many software-related issues but always proceed with caution and double-check the steps to avoid errors.
