Requirements

  • Download latest SP flash tool
  • Download and Install Vcom Preloader Driver
  • Windows PC
  • MTK Phone
  • Scatter file and Preloader.bin for your phone [place the two files in the same folder location]

Important Notice
  • DO NOT attempt to do a "DRAM flip test" in place of "RAM test". DRAM flip test is a different test and it takes a pretty long time to complete and could damage your phone's emmc chip especially if its already very weak
  • If you're trying to obtain full length address and you don't see RAM test after selecting your scatter file, then use this method to obtain full length address
