SP Flash Tool (Smart Phone Flash Tool for MediaTek)

About SP Flash Tool (Smart Phone Flash Tool)

SP Flash Tool (Smart Phone Flash Tool) is the essential flashing software developed for smartphones, tablets, and smart gadgets running on MediaTek (MTK) processing chipsets. It enables engineers, technicians, and Android enthusiasts to flash official stock ROMs, restore bricked hardware, and handle deep low-level memory maintenance.

Key Features

• Scatter-based Firmware Flashing: Reads the standard Android partition layout map (scatter.txt) to flash targeted partitions such as boot, system, recovery, vendor, and userdata.
• Multiple Flashing Modes: Flexible operational modes including Download Only (flashes only modified/checked partitions), Firmware Upgrade (complete system reinstall with partition sync), and Format All + Download (deep partition purge and restore).
• Deep Recovery & Unbrick: Effortlessly revive devices stuck in bootloops, bootloader errors, or hard-bricked states due to system file corruption.
• Memory Readback & Dump: Create comprehensive memory backups (ROM dumps) of individual partitions or full NAND/eMMC flash storage for diagnostics and recovery.
• RAM & Storage Diagnostic (Memory Test): Perform memory verification tests to diagnose faulty eMMC/UFS memory chips and hardware integrity before flashing.
• Lightweight & Portable: Pre-compiled standalone utility for Windows that requires zero installation footprint.

Basic Usage Instructions

1. Install the latest MediaTek VCOM / Preloader USB Drivers on your Windows computer.
2. Download and extract the SP Flash Tool archive to a folder with a short path without spaces or special symbols.
3. Run flash_tool.exe with Administrator privileges.
4. In the Download-Agent field, ensure MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin is selected (included by default).
5. In the Scatter-loading File field, click Choose and navigate to the scatter.txt file located inside your stock firmware package.
6. Select the appropriate flashing mode: Download Only or Firmware Upgrade is recommended (avoid Format All + Download to protect calibration and IMEI parameters).
7. Click the green Download button.
8. Power off your device completely. Hold the boot key (typically Volume Down or Volume Up) and connect the USB cable to the PC.
9. The flashing process will initiate through red, purple, and yellow progress bars. Once a large circular green checkmark dialog (Download Ok) appears, the process is complete. Unplug and reboot your device.

Important Notes

• Ensure the device has at least 50% battery before commencing the flashing routine.
• Always backup essential personal data before modifying system partitions.
• For newer MTK chipsets with Secure Boot / SLA / DAA authentication, pairing with an Authentication File (.auth) or an authorized MTK Bypass utility may be required.
