[HOW TO]Guideline / Install MTK drivers / How to Root / Flash a Rom / IMEI Restore

In this Thread i will explain how to set up MTK drivers and Flashtools.
Guideline:
Post #1 : Set up MTK drivers in Windows 8 / 8.1 / 10
Post #2 : Use Flashtools for MTK Devices
Post #3 : How to Root Stock Rom
Post #4 : Windows 10 MTK Drivers installation ( just in case post #1 dont work )
Post #5 : Lost IMEI Backup​
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
How to Install MTK drivers in Windows 8 / 8.1 / 10
what we need:
MTK Vcom Preloader Driver 2.0
Download : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24438995911977169
First thing we need is to Disable the Signed Driver verification on Windows :
To disable driver signature verification, we’re going to need to get into the Troubleshooting options from the boot manager.
The easiest way to bring this screen up is using this secret trick.
Hold down the SHIFT key while you click Restart.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Once your computer has rebooted you will be able to choose the Troubleshoot option.
Then head into Advanced options.
Then Startup Settings.
Since we are modifying boot time configuration settings, you will need to restart your Computer one last time.
After restarting your computer a second time,
choose Disable driver signature enforcement from the list by typing the number 7 on your keyboard.
That’s all there is to it. Your PC will then reboot and you will be able to install unsigned drivers.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Now its Time to open SP_Driver_v2.0.zip and start the DriverInstall.exe
it will open the install prompt . Press okay and dont change the installation path
Code:
C: // program files / Mediatek / Driver Package
during the installation it will start the verification window security.
Click on Install this driver software anyway
There will be an Error Message . - We Ignore it !
-Now Open your Device Manager and leave it open.
-Power Off your Phone and connect it with your Pc.
-you will see Under ports ( COM & LPT ) a Preloader unknown device
right click on there and click on Driver update/installation.
-Choose manually search for drivers
-Browse to C:// program files / Mediatek / Driver Package and apply.
-If all went good you have successfully installed the MTK Vcom Drivers. :good:

Windows 10 MTK VCOM USB Drivers for 32 & 64 bit + Driver install tutorial
To determine the version of Windows 10 that you have (32 bit or 64 bit):
- Right-click on Start then click on System
- In the System window that opens, in System section, you will find your version of Windows next to System type
To disable Windows 10 64 bit driver signature enforcement:
- On your 64 bit Windows 10 desktop click on Start then on Settings
- Click on Update & security then in the left pane click on Recovery
- Under Advanced startup click on Restart now button
- Click on Troubleshoot then on Advanced options
- Click on Startup Settings then on Restart button
- The computer will restart with the Startup Settings screen
- To disable the driver signature enforcement until next restart press on number key 7 or F7 on your keyboard.
- After restart you can proceed with the unsigned MTK drivers installation for your 64 bit Windows
- After you install the unsigned drivers, to use them again in the future, you have to repeat this procedure
To install the MTK VCOM USB Drivers on 32 & 64 bit Windows 10:
- Download the drivers *.zip archive and extract the folder from inside on to the desktop:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087012126
Right-click on Start then click on Device Manager
In the Device Manager Window click on the first item – your computer name
Click on Action then Add legacy hardware
On the Welcome to the Add hardware Wizard window click on Next button
Select Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced) and then click on Next button
Click on Show All Devices then on Next button
In the Add Hardware window click on Have Disk… button
In the Install From Disk windows click on Browse… button
In the next window – Locate file – browse for the folder that you have extracted on the desktop at the beginning
Select the version of the driver according to your Windows 10 version – x64 for 64 bit and x86 for 32 bit and click Open button
Click the OK button to load the driver
From the list of drivers select MTK USB Port and click on Next button
If a red warning window will open, click on Install this driver software anyway
This action will add the following drivers in to the operating system:

- MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM Port – for transferring the firmware to your device
- MTK USB DEBUG Port
- MTK USB Modem Port
- MTK USB port – for transfering PreLoader to your device (and recovery in case of bad or corrupt firmware)
Now we need to remove the device that we have installed but leave the drivers in the operating system.
To do that, in the Device Manager window we expand Ports (COM & LPT) section
Right-click and click Uninstall on the MTK USB Port
- In the Confirm Device Uninstall window make sure that the box Delete the driver software for this device is empty
- You need to leave the drivers in the operating system and only remove the device that you added
- Click on the OK button to finalise
Now, when you will connect your turned off MTK device to the Windows 10 computer by USB, the device will be recognized either trough a MediaTek Preloader USB VCOM Port interface or as a MTK USB port if it is bricked or it has bad/corrupt firmware. The SP Flash Tool will be able to transfer the firmware to your device trough this interfaces. Make sure you connect the device after you press the Download button in SP Flash Tool, as the communication interface will only be alive for 2 seconds if no data is being sent.

Lost IMEI Restore
A common problem many face in their phone is loss of IMEI no. This is results in no network detection by your phone. U can come to know you have lost your IMEI by checking Settings->About phone->Phone information. There under IMEI section you won’t be finding your mobile IMEI numbers displayed.
Don’t worry you can restore your IMEI’s. Just follow this guide and you will be able to restore your IMEI. I will split the tutorial into two parts.
BACKING IMEI :
-First step before performing all these things is that your phone should be rooted.
When your phone is in normal state with everything functioning install Root explorer and navigate to the below location
Code:
>ROOT>DATA>NVRAM>MD>NVRAM>NVD_IMEI>MP0B_001
-Now copy this MP0b_001 file to your SD card or PC whichever place you feel the file we be safer.
-Now download MTK Droid tools .
-Now extract the zip file and open the MTK droid tools exe file.
-Now in your phone turn on USB Debugging by going to Settings->About phone-> Developer options and there turn on USB debugging.
-Now connect your phone and MTK droid tools should be able to detect your phone. U should see a window like this appearing after your
phone has been detected.
-Now press the ROOT button present in lower right corner. When it asks Supersu grant in your mobile click allow. After MTK droid gets
access u should see a green colour box appearing in the lower left corner which means u have correctly granted access to MTK droid.
-Now click on the IMEI/Nvram tab. A window should open and click backup NVRAM and MTK droid tools would take a backup of NVram in
its folder.
RESTORING IMEI :
-Now when you lose IMEI first try this method. Now take the MPDB_001 file which you took backup at the first step and navigate through
Root explorer to this location ->ROOT->DATA->NVRAM->MD->NVRAM->NVD_IMEI.
-Now paste that file and replace the one present there. Set the permissions for that file as RWER-ER-E. Now reboot your phone and you
should be able to get your IMEI back.
If you still haven’t got IMEI open MTK droid tools and connect your phone and press ROOT again and give MTK droid tools root access.
-Now click on IMEI/Nvram tab and select Restore option and restore the NVram backup which you took earlier. Now reboot your phone and
you should be able to get your IMEI.
Extreme method :
-After performing all the above if you haven’t still got IMEI. Now switch off your phone and open SP Tools and connect your phone.
Click on format and format your whole phone. ( This wipes whole of the phone including NVram region ).
-Now flash stock ROM through SP Tools and after it completes start up your phone. ( Don’t be surprised. Your IMEI will still be in lost state
only ). Now root your phone.
-After successful rooting now connect your phone to MTK Droid tools and again press ROOT button and grant root access to MTK Droid
tools. Now click on IMEI/NVram tab.
-Now as you see in the image above you can see two boxes IMEI1 and IMEI 2. Now enter your device IMEI numbers manually in those two
boxes.( You can get your IMEI no’s from your phone box ). Now click replace IMEI. Now reboot your phone and you should be definitely able
to get your IMEI restored.

I have a solution for restoring IMEI:
In the dialer: *#*#3646633#*#*
OR
download "MTK engineering mode" app and start it
it will open engineering mode:
1/ go to "Connectivity" tab
2/ go to "CDS information"
3/ go to "Radio information"
4/ then select "Phone 1"
5/ At the top there is a command line "AT+" in it
6/ type AT+EGMR=1,7,"your imei number" (for example: AT+EGMR=1,7,"012345678901234")
7/ then hit "Send at command" (if you got error try to put space between "AT" and "+")
8/ go to "Phone 2" and type in the command line: AT+EGMR=1,10,"your imei"
9/ hit "send at command"
10/ restart your phone and it should work
You can check if it changed at Settings -> About Phone -> Status -> IMEI information
If your forgot your original IMEI numbers you can find them on the box of the phone

MTK droid tool recognizes my phone, but do not get the green button so root error. Granted permission in supersu.

If anyone is still struggling (like me) with the error: Initializing scatter file failed. Please check the name of the scatter which you load is legal
i solved by using SP Flash Tool 5.1552.00.000 downloaded from
https://mega.nz/#!ixdnhDLK!oOaAsJrcvJI0vH3fTsUOYjtDxQ_HT61E-_iuo6fTuKk
as specified in elephone forum flashing guide

Why on earth are you using such an old version of SuperSU?
You are probably using TWRP 3.0.0 which does not work on newer ROM versions. Try flashing TWRP 3.0.2-1.

Well i used it because it is said to work in this tutorial
The newer one didnt work either, as you said i think its the TWRP 3.0.0
I would like to download this http://www.needrom.com/download/twrp-3-0-2-1-4/
but i dont get any registration mails, tried to register with 2 different emails half an hour ago...
The version here on XDA is said to be only for P9000 Lite.
Edit: Ok got my login by using the forgot password function - the linked TWRP 3.0.2 and installing SuperSU 2.65 works.
Thanks!

also would like to know, can we fastboot the recovery as per all the other android phones i've used? And then custom ROM to our hearts content?

Yes. In Settings / developersettings enable oem. unlock Bootloader.
Then reboot to Recovery and go to power/ reboot to fastboot.
Then Unlock your Bootloader with the fastboot oem Unlock command.
After that you can use fastboot.
P.s: i didnt did that. But it should work

I believe it was 6.0 marshmallow. I do know that its no longer working for the newer version. I havent look into it but the idea is to get pass any screen that would allow you to install the apk via. 3rd party you can frp reset with the same apk file. (sometimes requiring you to push different buttons in certain order or speed)

True. I've watched the video a few times, and the goal is just to get to the place where you can interact with the phone and run that file. I want to say I made it most of the way through this method before, when I first started. But I was only beginning. So I didn't know about ROMs, and versions, and such. Now, i realize it wouldn't work because I had 7.0 and the menus and such differ. Anyway, off to try again. Sigh.

4) Download the OTA zip to set country as India, and copy it to your device's external SD card.
4) Take backup of all your stuff (apps, messages, contacts etc). The next steps will wipe your data & internal storage, so if needed copy your internal storage to your PC or external SD card.
6) Open QFIL from Start Menu as administrator (Start Menu > All Programs > QPST > right-click on QFIL and click "Run as administrator")
7) Copy the "SW" folder in the extracted files, to the root of your C:\ drive in your PC. Otherwise, sometimes QFIL gives a "sahara" error while flashing.
5) Now power off your phone. Make sure its not connected to your PC. Remove your SD Card from the phone to be on the safer side. Once it is powered off, press the volume up & down buttons together and connect your phone to your PC. The screen should now be black & the notification led on your phone should turn red.
6) Now QFIL should show "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008".
6) In QFIL, click Browse and go to C: drive > SW > Images and double-click on "prog_emmc_firehose_8929.mbn". Then click on "Load XML", and in the file selection window that opens, double click on "rawprogram0.xml" and on the next window, double-click on "patch0.xml"
7) Now click on "Download" button. This is the step that erases your data & internal storage. This step will take around 10-15 mins.
8) Once it shows "Download complete" with a blue text in the downloader log (bottom part of QFIL window), disconnect the USB and power on your phone. Since this is the first boot, it will take around 5-10 mins.
9) Now, once it is booted and it shows the welcome screen, power off your device.
10) Once your device is switched off, press Vol up + Vol down + Power buttons together until Lenovo logo appears. Now it should boot into Recovery mode.
11) Navigate to "apply update from sd card" using Vol up & vol down keys and press power button to select that option. Now navigate to the file "India.ota.zip" which you copied at the beginning and press power button to install. This will take 5-10 mins and again data will get erased (not internal storage). After installation the device will reboot automatically. It will take 5-10 mins to boot.
12) Now once it is booted, complete the setup guide, and make sure your device is connected to internet. And then go to Settings > About device > System updates. It should show a new update of 49 MB. Download it. Once it is downloaded, tap OK to install the update. This will again take 5-10 mins & will NOT wipe anything. After installation your device will automatically reboot.
13) Check if you have S102 build number (Settings > About device > Build number). If yes, then you're all done. Now VoLTE is enabled in your Vibe K5 A6020a40. If you want you can restore any backups to your device. :good:

Hi guys,
This is a step-by-step guide to update your Lenovo Vibe K5 (a6020a40) to the latest build S102 with VoLTE support, or basically to install VoLTE update on Vibe K5.
Since many guides & youtube videos tell different methods, I have come up with the best solution.
Requirements
-Lenovo Vibe K5 (a6020a40) (SD 415, 2GB RAM variant) running any ROM
-S034 firmware: https://docs.google.com/a/repairmymobile.in/uc?id=0B1hm-6TNn10IcUtHOWZLaUtzUEU&export=download
-OTA Zip to set Country as India: http://www.mediafire.com/file/j6icttemsrq266e/India.ota.zip
Please note that this will erase your data & internal storage
Also note: If you already are on S034 build with stock recovery installed & not rooted, then skip the steps 1-9.
Steps:
1) Download the S034 firmware file and extract it to some handy location (preferably desktop).
2) Go to the "Drivers' folder in the extracted files and install Lenovo USB Driver, and then install Qualcomm USB Driver.
3) Now to go to the "Tools" folder in the extracted files and install QPST.
4) Download the OTA zip to set country as India, and copy it to your device's external SD card.
4) Take backup of all your stuff (apps, messages, contacts etc). The next steps will wipe your data & internal storage, so if needed copy your internal storage to your PC or external SD card.
6) Open QFIL from Start Menu as administrator (Start Menu > All Programs > QPST > right-click on QFIL and click "Run as administrator")
7) Copy the "SW" folder in the extracted files, to the root of your C:\ drive in your PC. Otherwise, sometimes QFIL gives a "sahara" error while flashing.
5) Now power off your phone. Make sure its not connected to your PC. Remove your SD Card from the phone to be on the safer side. Once it is powered off, press the volume up & down buttons together and connect your phone to your PC. The screen should now be black & the notification led on your phone should turn red.
6) Now QFIL should show "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008".
6) In QFIL, click Browse and go to C: drive > SW > Images and double-click on "prog_emmc_firehose_8929.mbn". Then click on "Load XML", and in the file selection window that opens, double click on "rawprogram0.xml" and on the next window, double-click on "patch0.xml"

[HOW TO] Recover HARD BRICKED Nokia X2 : DOESN'T TURN ON, NO VIBRATION, NO LIGHT

So, Guys. Myself thought of writing this thread so that you can prevent yourselves from entering into danger as well as get rid of it even if you enter by mistake.
As you all know that, we are currently facing an issue of SIM offline, myself got into the trouble (as per me, when i insert a sim in sim 1, device recognizes the network provider but there is no signal. sim 2 is fine) and inorder to rectify that issue, i tried all possible ways like deleting IMEI and rewriting it, changing modem etc.
But nothing worked and so thought of using NOKIA CARE SUIT (NCS) >> Product Support Tool For Store 5
& change the firmware to Nokia X2DS RM-1013 059V782 v2.1.0.13 which was the biggest mistake which i ever committed and it resulted in hard brick.
I suggest everyone not to flash 2.1.0.13 version please
In my case, i was not even able to use the volume buttons and power button inorder to get to bootloader or custom recovery. Trust me, i'm not a noob but i do know the situation in which i'm and searched everywhere and took help of lots of guys and finally found the solution to it.
Just follow these steps:
A. Requirements:
1. Nokia Firmware - Thanks to Firmware27
2. QPST_2.7.422
3. QDLoader HS-USB Driver
B. Procedure:
1. Extract Requirement - 1, 2, 3 separately.
2. Now Install requirement - 2 & in Requirement - 3, just install Setup
3. Now connect USB to NOKIA X2 & Laptop/PC
4. Click on the start menu and type QFIL in search box and open it.
5. Under "SELECT PROGRAMMER", click on the browse button and
select "rm1013_2.1.0.13_user_prog_emmc_firehose_8x10. mbn" from the Requirement - 1
6. Under "DOWLOAD", you will find "LOAD XML" and now click on that and a window will appear infront you :silly:
7. Now in the window, type *.xml in the file name so that the xml files will show up.
8. Now select "rm1013_2.1.0.12_059V787_001_rawprogram_unsparse_ui"
9. Soon another window will show up automatically and now type *.xml in the file name so that the xml files will show up.
10. Now select "P12026702dpi600_label_layout"
11. Now Click on the "DOWNLOAD" just button below the Load XML button.
- Make sure your device is connected to the PC/lappy through cable :silly:
Everything is done. Now sit back and Relax.
Your NOKIA X2 will bootup and it looks exactly like device when you purchased except the scratches and all
Note:
I'm not responsible if your device is bricked. Ofcourse if you are doing this, it means that your device might have already been bricked and i guess there is no other way except this to make it right
This works with all the snapdragon chipset devices.
