(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)Why do I keep on getting this error?
Requirements
* Download Miracle Box @ https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B66Lx4_xW...t=download
