Hey there! If you're facing issues with your phone not turning on after flashing it with SP Flash Tool, don't worry. In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to fix this problem and get your phone back up and running. So let's dive in!

I. Preparations before Flashing

Before we begin the process of fixing your phone, there are a few important preparations you need to make.

A. Charge your phone:

Ensure that your phone is sufficiently charged before attempting to flash it. This is crucial as a lack of battery power can lead to interruptions during the flashing process, resulting in your phone not turning on.

B. Keep it connected:

Connect your phone to a stable power source while flashing. This will prevent any power interruptions that may occur during the process.

II. Downloading the Correct Firmware

The next step is to download the correct firmware for your device. Here's what you need to do:

A. Finding the right firmware version:

Visit the official website of your phone's manufacturer and locate the firmware section. Look for the firmware version that matches your phone model and download it to your computer.

B. Extracting the firmware correctly:

Once the firmware file is downloaded, extract it using a file extraction tool such as WinRAR or 7-Zip. Make sure you extract it to a location that is easily accessible.

III. Checking Compatibility

Before proceeding with the flashing process, it's important to confirm compatibility between the firmware and your device. Follow these steps to do so:

A. Confirming compatibility between firmware and device:

Check the firmware version you downloaded and compare it with the model number of your phone. Ensure that the firmware version matches your phone model precisely. Using an incompatible firmware can lead to your phone not turning on after flashing.

IV. Adjusting Flash Settings

To ensure a successful flashing process and prevent your phone from not turning on, it's essential to adjust certain flash settings. Here's what you need to do:

A. Disabling cache and user data images:

Open the SP Flash Tool on your computer and go to the "Options" tab. Uncheck the "Cache" and "User Data" options to avoid any conflicts during the flashing process.

B. Flashing with the bootloader unlocked:

Ensure that the bootloader of your device is unlocked before proceeding with the flashing process. Most manufacturers provide official tools or methods to unlock the bootloader. Unlocking the bootloader will allow the firmware to be installed properly, reducing the chances of your phone not turning on.

V. Using the Correct Scatter File

Now it's time to select the correct scatter file for your device. The scatter file is essential for the flashing process. Follow these steps:

A. Finding and selecting the correct scatter file for your device:

Within the SP Flash Tool, click on the "Choose" button next to the "Scatter-loading file" option. Locate the scatter file within the extracted firmware folder and select it.

VI. Flashing with the Correct IMG Files

To ensure a successful flashing process and avoid any issues that may result in your phone not turning on, it's crucial to flash the correct IMG files. Here's what you need to do:

A. Ensuring all necessary IMG files are available for flashing:

Check the firmware folder and ensure that all the required IMG files are present. These files may include system, boot, recovery, and vendor images.

B. Properly configuring flash settings for each file:

Within the SP Flash Tool, click on the "Download" button. A list of IMG files will appear. Ensure that the "Download" option is selected for each file and that the "Format All + Download" option is unchecked. This will prevent your phone from being completely wiped during the flashing process.

VII. Editing the Scatter File (if needed)

In some cases, you may need to modify the scatter file contents to match your device's specific requirements. If you encounter any issues during the flashing process, consider editing the scatter file. Here's what you should do:

A. Modifying scatter file contents to match device requirements (if necessary):

Open the scatter file using a text editor and make the necessary modifications. Ensure that the partition names and sizes correspond correctly to your device. Save the changes and proceed with the flashing process.

VIII. Format and Download Process

Now it's time to format your phone's memory and initiate the download process using SP Flash Tool. Follow these steps:

A. Formatting your phone's memory before flashing:

Within the SP Flash Tool, click on the "Format" tab. Check the "Auto Format Flash" option and click on the "Start" button. This will format your phone's memory, preparing it for the flashing process.

B. Initiating download process using SP Flash Tool:

After the formatting process is complete, go back to the "Download" tab. Click on the "Download" button to start the flashing process. Ensure that your phone is connected to the computer via USB and that it is powered off. The flashing process will begin, and you will see a progress bar on the SP Flash Tool.

IX. Recovering from Short Flashing Pins Issue

In some cases, you may encounter a short flashing pins issue when attempting to flash your phone. This can result in your phone not turning on. Here's what you can do to fix this problem:

A. Diagnosing short flashing pins issue:

Inspect the USB cable and the USB port on your computer for any signs of damage. Try using a different USB cable and port to see if the issue persists. If the problem continues, it may indicate a hardware issue with your phone.
