How to use sp flash tools

SP Flash tool is an application you could find very useful in fixing extreme cases of a bricked MTK Android (e.g Tecno, Gionee, Infinix, Opsson, Innjoo etc) like the phone not coming on at all or not booting into recovery mode etc. Lets get started:

Requirement

* A PC
* USB Cord
* Manually install VCOM drivers on the PC ( https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-440.html)
* The phone you wish to flash the files to (ensure there's an SD card in the phone)
* Scatter file + files to be flashed ( seehttp://forum.hovatek.com/thread-468.html for how to make an MTK Backup). 
* Download the latest version of SP Flash tool @https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-13970.html

Note

* If you get any error in SP Flash tool or the phone still didn't work after flashing then there's a list of SP Flash Tool errors, their meanings and how to resolve them @http://forum.hovatek.com/thread-439.html
* If you accidentally interrupted flashing and the phone goes dead, follow the guide @ https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-808.html
