[Android General] Davitek_:
Note: I suggest using Windows 7 For flashing. (Other versions might not work)​

This Guide will mostly be on the OT-991D (dual sim) but some things will work on the OT-991 too.​

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES CAUSED TO YOUR PHONE, DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.​

[Unbrick/Blue LED]:​

Note: This will clear your phone storage but not the sd card, also, i will flash the stock android but it will just make it bootloop.​

If you just accidentally formatted something that is not the android partition you can try to uncheck it and flash it. (I mean downloading with flashing)​

If your phone boots or you can see the android logo, then IT'S NOT BRICKED!​

You will need:

The attached Unbrick.zip

The Rom file

Download Rom

If not working try this one

Unzip The rom and the Unbrick.zip

Open the

MTK-Driver-v.5.2307

folder.

Open

MTK Driver Setup.exe

and install it.

Open the

SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1344_Win

folder.

Open

Flash_tool.exe

and select the scatter on the firmware folder.

Disconnect the cable and remove battery and reconnect it.

If everything goes to plan, the phone now boots and loops!
