Diff. b/w download and firmware->upgrade

download and firmware -> upgrade options both update the ROM but there is a difference.

download formats your phone and then installs whereas firmware -> upgrade only formats system folder format and then installs.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bovirus:
Please explain ind etail

With SP Flashtools you have two option: [Download]=F9 and [Firmware Upgrade]=F9

With both option (F8 & F9) you can select singole modules.

What's the difference if I dodn't select system (system.img)?

Ex. If I select recovery.img and boot.img with use F8 and F9.

Sorry but you are OT here.

You just discuss here only about use of SP Flashtool.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bovirus:
There is no relation about use of SP Flashtool and change the screen.

The LCD driver is included in LK.BIN. file

You have to use Multitool to change in LK.BIN of your backup the driver removing current one and including the driver of the screen.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] enricof18:

Then the problem is not regarding the Flashtool, that flash right the ROM.

The problem is your ROM that is not probably right for your hardware device.

The ROM that reported a flash error means ROM for other hardware. Not yours.

ROM that you can flash right but didn't start at POWERON means that ROM for other hardware. Not yours.

But you cannot ask about your device and ROM here. You are OT.

Iconia A1 810-can't maintain connection with PC

Hello.

Having issues with flashing firmware.

I had a problem after updating (official) 4.4 rom to my Acer Iconia A1 810, the update failed because my model number isn't supported. So I tried to restart the tablet and was stuck at bootloop.

So I went to recovery again (everything stock, tablet was never rooted), flashed the original 4.2.2 rom for my model, everything went OK, restarted and was still stuck in bootlooop. It would get to "Updating applications" and then shut down.

So then I did a reset using the reset button on the side, and after that the phone doesn't turn on.

When I plug it in PC it is recognized as mediatek, I have installed the driver provided here, but as soon as the phone connects it disconnects right away, can't maintain a connection so I cant do anything to it with the flasher.

Can someone help me with this? If I could just solve that I could follow the instructions from this thread and unbrick my phone, I just need this step solved.

Thank you in advance.

Cheers.

I used the SP flash tool program,more or less everything went fine.I can format it and flash the ROM,but after it I can't power on the phone.

Tried lots of ROMs.

The PC still recognise the phone the driver is good.

What am I do wrong???

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bovirus:
SP Flash tool is just a software that flash a device with external rom file. That's all.

If you used an update version of Flashtool it recognize the phone (if the phone works in preloader mode).

But if you destroyed the preloader because you flashed a wrong preloader or use Flash tool in bad way (like using FORMAT ALL + DOWNLOAD), now you cannot do anything.

Flashtool Is not a recovery system to recovery the damage that you did because you don't check before the ROM and the device matching.

Your problem is the wrong ROM file that destroyed the original ROM.

THIS THREAD IS NOT THE SUPPORT THREAD FOR YOUR DEVICE. POST IN THE THREAD OF YOUR DEVICE.

And next time before to do anything make a copy of your original ROM.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bovirus:
If your device didn't boot it means that or the ROM is not exactly for your device, or your device has some partition damaged.

But both things are not related to Flash Tools. Are related to specific thread or your phone.

If you don't know how works Flash tool and Mediatelk chip please avoid to continue to create flaming.

Hi All,

i followed all the instructions on SP Flash tools and was successful in downloading the files to my device (the scatter file was downloaded from the official website itself ), and SP Flash tools is latest version

however when process complete without error, i could not power up the device. However, my laptop was still able to install drivers once my phone was connected (black screen, no LED lights)

Phone version; No.1 MI4 (MT6582), looks exactly like Xiaomi Mi4

Thank you
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bovirus:
If the flash operation is done right without error, it means that FlashTool work right.

Then the question is not related Flashtool but it's device specific (OT here).

Probably the ROM that you load is not fully 100% compatible with your device (ex. hardware driver are different).

Please try to make wipe from recovery.

If you make a backup try to load your LK.BIN of the backup (original hardware driver).

Please post in the thread of your device.
