(04-06-2016, 09:57 AM)hovatek This guide will enable you easily backup an MTK phone's firmware without having to root it. Other methods you could consider are MTK Droid tools @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-468.html (root required) and SP Flash tool Readback / ROM dump @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-526.html (root not required)

Requirements

* Download Miracle Box @ https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B66Lx4_xW...t=download
* PC
* USB cord
* Manually install Mediatek VCOM drivers (see https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-440.html )

Procedure

See the video tutorial below or @ https://youtu.be/_rIXJ4eSxgg


1. Extract the Miracle Box zip into a folder and launch Miracle loader exe

3. Click the MTK tab

4. Tick Read

5. Select the phone's chipset type from the dropdown

[Image: Hovatek-How-to-backup-or-dump-a-Mediatek...-Box-4.jpg]

5a. If you want the backup saved in an SP Flash tool friendly format (with a scatter file) then tick Save as scatter file.

6. Click the Start button

[Image: Hovatek-How-to-backup-or-dump-a-Mediatek...-Box-5.jpg]

7. You should now see >> Waiting for USB Port at the bottom left corner. Connect the phone to the PC (must be switched off still with battery inside) then press the Power button just once (this is to ensure that your device is detected immediately). DO NOT hold down the power button else the phone will boot up normally

[Image: Hovatek-How-to-backup-or-dump-a-Mediatek...-Box-6.jpg]

8. If you did not tick Save as scatter file, a box should pop up. Navigate to the location you wish to save the firmware (in .bin format) then click Save

[Image: Hovatek-How-to-backup-or-dump-a-Mediatek...-Box-7.jpg]

8a. If you ticked Save as scatter file then a box should popup asking you to select which block / partition you would like to backup. Tick all if you want a full firmware backup / dump or tick only what you need to backup then click OK

[Image: Hovatek-How-to-backup-or-dump-a-Mediatek...Box-8a.jpg]

8b. Navigate to the location you wish to save the files to then click OK

[Image: Hovatek-How-to-backup-or-dump-a-Mediatek...Box-8b.jpg]

9. Wait while Miracle Box begins backing up the phone. If you did not tick Save as scatter file, it should look something like

9a. If you ticked Save as scatter file, it should look something like

[Image: Hovatek-How-to-backup-or-dump-a-Mediatek...Box-9a.jpg]

10. Once backup has been completed, you should see a Done message

11. Disconnect then power on the phone

Note

For the scatter backup, you can rename the file extensions in order to use them in SP flash tool, e.g recovery.bin to recovery.img

Good day. I am trying this miricle box, to get backup of an mt6735 chipped device. a BLU r1HD.

getting stuck on waiting for usb.

I have drivers installed from mtk all driver, previously and the usb vcomm driver and preloader vcomm drivers both show to work in sp flash tools.

I did follow the suggestion in help thread of uninstall old drivers , check with usbdview. and use the driver install from OP.

if I boot phone to factory mode (from power of, hold volume down and plug in usb) miricle box aborts connection and has nonusb port error

but the chip and phone details are listed on status bar.

Is this phone possibly supported and i do not have it setup correct, or is it not just not supported?

Ok Well.
First of all. thanks that it's showing some hope to backup 64bit MT67xx devices.
Second. The loader file is detected as Virus by the AVG antivirus. But I have added it as an exception to ignore it. Is it alright to use it?
Third. Miracle Box is now running without any issues. But it couldn't catch my phone in time.. I am sure the Preloader VCOM drivers are perfectly installed on all of the USB ports on my laptop. and it works fine with SP Flash Tool when I need to flash anything. I have also verified in the Device Manager when the correct device appears for a few seconds on connecting the phone (turned off) as you know the preloader time period until the phone goes to charging mode. Just in case, I am attaching the screenshot where you can see the Phone appears in the Device Manager in Preloader Mode but the Miracle Box on the other side can't detect it. And yes I can't remove the battery as it's fixed. The device is Infinix Note 2 LTE, MT6753
The laptop has 3 USB ports as you can see in the device manager all of the three are good with the preloader VCOM drives on COM1, COM4, and COM7. All of them work fine but Miracle Box doesn't appear to see them
