Requirements

  • PC
  • USB cord
  • Spreadtrum android phone (root not needed)
  • Install Spreadtrum (SPD) SCiU2 drivers ; miracle box only works on my phone while using SCIUSB2SERIAL so be sure to try other drivers on the list, one may work where the others fail
  • Download latest miracle box / thunder

Important Notice
  • If you don't have miracle dongle or this method doesn't work for you, then you might want to consider how to backup unisoc / spd firmware using research download tool, CM2SPD or ADB methods
  • Miracle Box ideally requires a hardware dongle / box to work. Merely installing the setup without the hardware won't work unless you're using a loader version
  • If you're using miracle box with loader then ensure to use latest version as it'll support more SPD chipset types
  • If you get the inactive start button error when using Miracle Box, then see the miracle box inactive start button fix
  • If you're using the Miracle Box loader version then you might get a warning from your Antivirus. While this is usually nothing to worry about and you would have to either temporarily disable your Antivirus or white list the Miracle Box loader to get it to work, you are entirely responsible for your action
  • On most Spreadtrum Android phones, the boot key is Volume down / decrease but some are Volume up so ensure to give both a shot if you have detection problems
  • The Miracle Box Spreadtrum backup is in .mira by default and this format can only be flashed back using Miracle Box
  • Its important that you do not interrupt the backup process else the device could go dead. Should you encounter this, take out and re-insert the battery then retry. If your battery is inbuilt then just keep charging till the phone shows a sign of life
  • You can release the boot key once backup has begun but some Spreadtrum devices encounter constant connection-disconnection so you best hold the boot key all through the process (in such cases) so that the process can auto resume

Quote:In this video tutorial, i'm going to be showing how to backup firmware from a spreadtrum device using miracle box.
So I'm taking it that you've already installed spreadtrum drivers on your PC. So, we'll launch miracle box tool
Once the interface for miracle box comes up, click on SPD tab
Click on read, the checkbox beside read
Select your chipset from the drop down box
Tick skip user data
Now this last part is optional depending on your device, if you get an error, you might need to change the baudrate. So I'm changing mine to 115...
Now once we click the start button you would need to connect your phone to the PC using a USB cord while holding down the volume down button.
So, i'm connecting the phone now. It would open a window for you to save the backup file.
You give it a name and you click Save.
Now we wait while the tool backs up firmware from the phone.
You'll get the message read completed once backup is successful.
Now miracle box backup saves in .Mira format and it can only be flashed back using miracle box

I feel this is a little bit hackish because the tool used is unofficial and (at least in my case) requires changing time settings every time you want to use it and then reverting them back later which is quite cumbersome. My question is, isn't there an official tool that can do this without the need of a cracked tool?

If it is too cumbersome for you then buy the box / dongle

Hi, I'm using Miracle Crack new version 2.58, I'm following your instructions, but in my case the bar loads and starts reading is using the button (Vol. +) And not the (-), but when it reads and reaches the 100% is frozen there for a while and a "BootLoad Error ID: 1" error message appears. Help me with this?

Or should I use the Miracle 2.27 + Loader?
