i spent much time to understand on sp usage. but got yours z best presentation ! many thanks !
Thank you very much team Hovatek for this tutorial, this procedure helped me on fixing a bootloop issue on my Android Car Unit.
Can you help me get that for my car
merci beaucoup , tu m'a vraiment vraiment aider , thank you so much men , without you I cant repair my cell phone Lenovo , with your expilication I was able to install correctly my firmware …… peace on you
Thank you very much team Hovatek. You are just unbelievable.
Thank you very much lad, had spent nights trying to fix a butch of things with lots of errors
Nothing happens on mine. Tablet is connected via USB, debugging is enabled, scatter and download agent are correct but I click download and nothing happens
It should be off when you connect
fantastic tutorial, easy to follow and well explained. Just one quick question. What button did you press on the phone as you connected it to the USB cable? Volume up or down? Please help!
None
some devices might require you to press one though. in my case, it's volume down (as volume up + power is used to enter boot/recovery state)
if it gets to fastboot you can type fastboot reboot bootloader then from there you can flash the ap bp cp csc files using odin to make the phone work again
Thanks sir I love u tutorials

Hi thanks for your guides,i'm trying to flash a cubot bobby(old phone)i have flashed other phones with no problem,when i have downloaded the rom/firmware file and opened it it's not like a normal flash file,there is no firmware file to open just a file that says scatter but this only has a errorr invalid(oxcoo30001) when loading,i'm using sp flash tool.Thanks for your help.Chris.
Its probably an OTA file
how do i download the firmware
Hi, what should i do, i always have thir message :
S_BROM_DOWNLOAD_DA_FAIL
[Description]
l [H/W] Fail to download DA to baseband chip's internal SRAM!
[Reason]
1. There’s a cable communication problem between Flash Tool and Boot ROM.
2. Target might be shutdown unexpectedly or target lost power supply.
3. The DA is not correct.
[Solution]
1. Try again.
2. Proceed H/W checking in download cable and target side com port.
3. Monitor if power-drop occurred in target side
thank you !!
I honestly don't know what I'm doing wrong I have all the sp flash software I've downloaded so many versions but it's till not detecting my Blu phone, right now it's stuck on the bootup screen and because it's a non-removable battery so I cannot take it out and no matter what I try I can't get the phone to flash🤷🏼♀️ maybe I'm not understanding someone about how it detects the phone or maybe I'm just bad luck 🤦🏼♀️

Hello, I am trying to flash an ROM to an old tablet I have which is bricked (only soft bricked, hopefully).
There is nothing wrong with the app, but the device disconnects from Windows before i can flash anything, resulting in error 2004.
I know this occurs when the tablet leaves the preloader to display the charging screen.
If I disconnect the battery it does the same thing but instead it repeatedly resets and does it again.
Know any way I can prevent it from leaving the preloader? Thanks in advance! :D
Tablet: Quanta QMV7B
CPU: MT8125 (seems to use MT6589 scatter file for some reason??)

What and where is the firmware?
You search online for the firmware for your device model
Hovatek guys, i need your advice... I just want to upgrade my cellphone to the lastest official build i can get on internet (i know, because my actual build number is V07 while i can find V14 on internet). I DON't want to mess it up and i am studying this thing as much as i can.
what partitions should i download? should i unlock the bootloader first? i don't want to lose the IMEI
v07 vs v14 isn't necessarily an upgrade; they might as well be different variants. You should backup your v07 firmware just incase. Your IMEI should be fine so far you flash using download only (not format, format all or firmware upgrade)
@@HovatekTV thank you guys. I will have that in mind... also:
should i unlock the bootloader?

Thank you for this info. I have an A/B device, and my full ROM dump. I want to flash both slots anew.
(1) Will sp flash tool automatically flash both when I load my scatter file?
(2) What are the core files I need to flash in other to get clean newly flashed ROM?
Thanks
1. I don't know you made your dump but the official firmware contains files for both slots and will flash to both
2. I don't know what partitions(s) you modified so flashing any modified partitions + a factory reset should get you back in clean state
