In this video tutorial, I'll be showing you how to flash a Miracle Box dump in scatter format using Miracle Box
00:31
You're going to need your Mediatek VCOM drivers (which I have here), Miracle Box & Miracle Box dump (firmware)
00:41
What I mean by Miracle Box dump is a backup made in scatter format using Miracle Box. After making backup,
00:49
I'm going to show you how to flash the same backup to the phone using Miracle. For this tool, you'll need drivers.
00:58
If you're using Windows 8 and above, its very important to disable your driver signature verification
01:03
on your PC. We already have a guide on how to do that on our website, use the search bar at the top.
01:17
I've done that on this PC, Make sure you do that before you proceed. Once that is done, you install VCOM drivers
01:25
To do that, press the Window button and type "Device Manager". You're going to launch device manager
01:42
Under device manager, you can just highlight any item on the list. I'm highlighting the first item
01:48
Click on Action - Add legacy hardware - Next - Tick Install hardware that I manually select from a list - Next
01:58
Next - Have Disk - Browse - Locate the folder where your Mediatek VCOM drivers are. Open the Drivers folder
02:10
USB VCOM Driver. If yours is Windows 7 and above, you open the Win7 folder else select according to yours
02:20
Mine is a Windows 10, I'll open the Windows 7 folder. Now, I have the option of 32 or 64 bit
02:27
You need to know your PC's system type. To do that, right-click on My Computer or This PC - Properties
02:37
Under System Type, I have 64 bit operating system. I select the 64 bit option here and click Open
02:46
Click OK - Highlight Mediatek Preloader USB VCOM Port - Click on Next - Next - Wait while the driver is installed
02:58
You might have this device cannot start (code 10) error. its nothing to worry about. You're getting it because
03:05
you've installed an unsigned driver. Click Finish. You might notice the yellow icon here. Nothing to worry
03:15
about. Doesn't mean drivers will not work. Now that drivers are installed, its time to go ahead with flashing
03:21
You need to open the Miracle Box folder. Its important you disable your antivirus temporarily (if using Loader)
03:29
Launch your Miracle box (I'm using the loader version). You might have a grayed out or inactive start button
03:44
If you find yourself in that situation, its nothing to worry about. We have a guide on how to fix that.
03:49
Head over to the Hovatek website, use our search bar. Type "How to fix miracle box inactive start button"
03:56
in a few seconds, you'll be done with that. I've had mine fixed so I'm going to go ahead with flashing.
04:04
make sure you have the MTK tab ticked then tick Write. If you don't know your chipset, select 4th boot
04:19
mine is MT6580 so I select 8th boot. Do not tick format all unless you know what you're doing
04:27
Click on this folder icon. Navigate to the locaiton where your Miracle Box dump is, select Scatter & click Open
04:40
Once that is done, click on your Start button then wait till Miracle box shows Waiting for USB Port..
04:51
At this point, you're ready to connect the device. You power off your Mediatek phone, battery charged & inside
05:01
Don't press any button at all. Connect it to the PC via USB cord and wait. You'll have a popup asking
05:26
you to select what you want to flash. If you're flashing a full firmware, you'll have a very long list & need to
05:32
tick the partitions you intend to flash. I intend to flash just preloader & LK. Its very important you tick preloader
05:39
because on some chips, you'll get an error if you don't tick preloder. Make sure its for your own phone
05:50
Then click OK and wait for flashing. Alright! Flash is done and I have Write Done. I can disconnect the phone
06:24
and power it up. That's basically how to flash a Miracle Box dump in scatter format using Miracle Box. --------------------------
