In this video tutorial, I'll be discussing how to use SP Flash tool. Now, for You to use SP Flash tool,

00:31
You of course need Your SP Flash tool. I'll be using version 3 & 5. Now, they're basically the same thing but

00:40
some people tend to get confused using them and they also have some distinct differences.

00:45
I'll be using both versions so its clear for whichever one You're going to be using. You would also need Your

00:52
VCOM drivers [Alarm Clock] which is Your USB VCOM drivers. Now, You might have noticed that when trying to

00:59
flash using SP Flash tool, the SP Flash tool might just remain at 0%, no flashing, nothing happening.

01:07
That's because You don't have the VCOM drivers. Now, there's already a video on that (I already created a video

01:14
on that) so You can check the video tutorial but just to make it

01:18
clearer for everybody, I'll be going through the process of installing the VCOM drivers

01:23
all over again in this tutorial so You get it from start to finish. Now, You'll also need the VCOM drivers so

01:30
just check the description of this tutorial, You should get the download link or You go to our website [Alarm Clock]

01:35
Search for how to use SP Flash tool. You should find the written version of

01:41
this video tutorial and You can get the links to all these software You'll be needing. Of

01:46
course You'll need the files You'll be flashing which is my stock backup

01:51
In this case I'm using an old OS Tecno M3. Now, I also have my Tecno

01:56
M3 here with me and I've bricked this phone just for the purpose of this tutorial so

02:03
I'll be flashing the files to this my Tecno M3 here

02:08
and I have my USB cord right here so these are the things you'll basically need for this tutorial.

02:13
Now, I'll briefly touch the

02:18
content of the stock backup. Now, this as You see here is

02:23
not the complete backup; this is just a "Files to Flash". This is just a collection of the essential

02:28
files You'll be needing for SP Flash tool. Now, most people tend to think all You need for SP Flash tool

02:33
is Your scatter file. The scatter file here is just like a map, its a

02:38
key. Its what tells SP Flash tool the partition table of Your phone

02:43
and tells it where to flash what file. Its just a key so You can't exactly use

02:48
SP Flash tool with Your scatter file only. Scatter file is just one out of the

02:53
several components You would need but the scatter file is a very important one, it acts as your key

02:58
to using SP Flash tool so that's a scatter file there. Also, You would have to have

03:03
the file you wish to flash. In a case You need to flash just one file, You'll need Your

03:08
scatter file and just that one file. In a case You need to flash many files, You'll need scatter file and

03:13
all the files You need (to flash). So basically Your scatter file is just like the key to flash and

03:18
You need other files which scatter file will be helping You to flash. Since we have all these,

03:23
I'll proceed. Now, the first thing You'll want to do (of course) as I promised You, I will take You through

03:28
the installation of Your VCOM driver. I already have my VCOM

03:33
driver extracted. Alright! This is my USB [Alarm Clock] VCOM

03:38
driver here Alright! Now, if You look here, all I have is Windows 7 and

03:43
I'm using a Windows 8 PC but since Windows 7 and Windows 8 are very close in driver usage

03:49
(or in the drivers You'll need), I can safely install my Windows 7 drivers on my Windows 8.

03:55
So, we have the drivers ready. Now, the first thing You would want to do before You talk about

04:01
using SP Flash tool at all is to install the drivers. Now, for SP

04:07
Flash tool, You don't need an internet connection so don't worry about an internet connection. Everything

04:11
can be done offline. Installing the drivers, the first thing You'll want to do is open Device Manager so I'll

04:17
search for Device Manager here

04:22
Alright! Here's my Device Manager.

04:27
Now, what we're basically going to be doing here is we're going to be manually installing

04:32
this VCOM driver. There's an automatic method of installing where You use an installer but You're going to be

04:37
manually installing it just in case You don't have access to the automatic installer. So, the first thing You'll want to
