I'll be installing both drivers using this same approach 02:50 My drivers were successfully installed so I just click on Finish. Next up is to install the other drivers 03:12 SciU2S 64 bit (based on my PC). Just run this, click Yes to confirm and just proceed. That's all 03:29 If you encounter any error at this point, what you just have to do is manually install the drivers 03:33 you can check our website for how to manually install Spreadtrum drivers, you can also see the video 03:42 Drivers installed. Next is to launch Research Download tool. I run as Admin just to avoid permission issues 03:52 Click Yes to confirm. OK, we are open here. At this point, you'll want to disconnect your Spreadtrum phone 04:05 If the battery is removable, remove the battery and slot it back in just to make sure that the phone is switched off 04:11 At this point, my Resarch Download tool is up, you'll want to load the packet (file). Click on Load Packet 04:19 In the Window that pops up, select the pac file. Its very important you do not flash the pac file meant for 04:29 a different model to your phone if not you're going to have serious issues. Flash the pac file for your model 04:37 so I'll load this pac file. Its quite important you're patient with this because (I have not responding) 04:48 It could be quite slow depending on your PC type. Now, this is loaded. I'm ready to go ahead with flashing 04:57 all I have to do is just click this Start Downloading button but sometimes, you might encounter 05:03 a couple of errors so I'll just take you briefly through some things you can do to avoid some errors 05:09 You could get the NVdata failed error. If you ever come across that, all you need to do is just 05:16 come to your Settings - Backup. If you're having the NVdata or some kind of NV error, untick all these items 05:35 then click on OK. When next you flash, you'll not be having NV errors. You can also select which items you 05:56 wish to flash In this case, the FDL 1&2 are compulsory for you to flash. You might selectively flash some items 06:09 In this guide I'll not be flashing all items. I'll be flashing just cache to avoid any problems although the pac file 06:22 is meant for my phone, I just want to make this flashing a lot faster by disabling all other items except cache 06:29 so I have a fast flash. If you intend to flash all the files, you don't need to some here, just go 06:35 straight to Start Downloading but in my case, I want to selectively flash. In a case where you have pattern lock 06:42 maybe the owner forgot his pattern or something. What you'll want to do in that case is just flash userdata 06:50 In that case, you would have your fdl files ticked and userdata (then maybe cache) ticked. 06:58 Those 4 files. So you just go ahead with flashing. Basically, you can flash only what you want like recovery 07:05 system.. tick whatever you want to flash. I have my 2 fdl files and cache ticked so I click OK. 07:21 Remember this part is optional so you don't have to go through all that setting. I have everything set up, I'm 07:30 ready to flash. Everything is good to go. Next, click Start Download and you'll have progress bar saying waiting 07:52 At this point, remove your battery and slot it back in (if removable). Make sure the phone is switched off 07:59 then connect the phone to the PC while its switched off (battery inside). Ensure the battery is well charged 08:05 If after connecting to PC, all you still see is waiting (i.e nothing is happening). It likely you didn't install 08:12 the drivers correctly so you might want to go back to that step or your port is faulty, might want to change 08:18 your port or in some cases, you might need to hold down the Volume down button while connecting to the PC 08:25 but for some phones, once you just connect directly, it starts flashing. For phones like this one I'm holding 08:32 you need to hold the volume down / decrease button while connecting to the PC for flashing. [connecting] 08:57 My flashing has begun. Alright! My flashing was successful, my phone is going to reboot. 09:23 So basically, that's how to use Research Download tool. You could decide to flash all the files 09:31 and come straight to Start Downloading (I can click Stop now) or selecting which files you'll flash 09:48 by going to Settings then unticking any unneeded item. That's how to use Research Download tool
