hello i try to load scatter file and a small window tha sais “processing…” appears and then nothing i have been waiting too much time. and i have tried lots of scatter files from several roms
I want to ask a simple newbee question:
Why are there two types or roms? One with scatter file type and other zip file type (contains meta file)?
There are manty instructions for meta file type roms but my phone provides only scatter file type rom.
Thank you for the answers
ROMs with Scatter files are flashed through PC using softwares like SP Flash Tool. While, zip files can be flashed through recovery mode available in device. If your device has too many roms with scatter files then use SP Flash tool to flash the ROM. You can refer the above method to flash ROMs too.

Try this “Manually install the drivers by the method given above. Downloaded the original Stock ROM for your device. Load the scatter file in SP Flash Tool. Remove your phone’s battery & connect it to your PC. Keep your PC’s device manager open, you’ll see MTK Device (After connecting your device) As soon as you see it, Click on Download button. Once the process starts, it will get completed properly. (If you device keeps ejecting after connecting, first start the SP Flash Tool Download & it will show waiting for device. Now connect your device. Done)”

Can’t flash stock ROM using SP flash tool because phone connects with pc for a second then disconnects I.e. can’t complete flashing

hi please I have the same problem of the usb removing and reconnecting but my device is detected as a USB serial Device, How do I get it to detect as a mediatek device
Hola, tengo una Table Lenovo A1000F, me equivoque al actualizarla a la ultima versión, pero ahora cuando inicio todos los programas se congelan, me da el mensaje que desafortunadamente la applicación “x” se detuvo, pero así sucede con todas, no me deja hacer nada, aunque la reinicie me sigue dando el error, todas las aplicaciones se van cerrando una a una, incluso la que es para configurar la table, por lo tanto no me deja hacer nada. Ya traté metiéndome al menú de recovery en el cual borro la información y la caché (HARD RESET), acto seguido reinicio la tableta desde ahí mismo, prende bien, como si nada, se ve la imagen de fondo que venía de fábrica y aparece con la hora y bloqueada, pero al desbloquearla me empiezan a saltar todos los mensajes de error y sin poder entrar a la configuración de la table.
Me gustaría saber si hay alguna forma de reinstalar la ROM a la table ya que no me permite hacer nada y aún haciéndole un HARD RESET desde el RECOVERY nada funciona. Quisiera saber si se puede instalar su ROM desde la SDCard, ya que tampoco me deja conectarme con el pc atraves de usb. Espero puedan ayudarme. Gracias.
Hey , si no quiere meterse con Flash Herramientas y todo, descarga de recuperación personalizada para su dispositivo y flash cualquier ROM . Si aún desea instalar Stock ROM, puede descargarlo desde aquí stock rom y siga el procedimiento anterior . Si no se detecta el dispositivo, intente instalar los controladores USB manualmente Let me haga saber si usted quedó atascado en cualquier paso .
Its Urgent! Hi I am having this Tecno Boom J7 and I had a made a mistake by disconecting it while it was formating for I couldnt see the progress by then i got errors and I choose to mannually flash it. It formated completely but since then my phone is dead I have even tried to plug it in the whole night but there is no respond. It only display the red DA 100% bar on splash tool. Please help me. Much appreciation from Africa.
Most of the time, ejecting your device while flashing permanently bricks it! But if the device is still getting detected, you can try following the entire procedure again. Just connect your device & check in Device manager, if it shows any new device after connecting.
