You MUST install VCOM drivers as explained @ https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-440.... because the PdaNet drivers alone won't work on most models

In this tutorial, We'll be discussing how to use SP Flash tool. Now, SP Flash tool is a very powerful tool which
00:30
can help you unbrick your phone in a case where you have a serious level of bricking.
00:34
To use SP Flash tool, you'll need your VCOM drivers which is what PdaNet is for. You'll need the files
00:42
you wish to flash, which could either be the MTK backup for that phone or specific files .
00:48
Take note that you don't flash files for one phone (model) to another phone (model) if not you'll end up
00:53
making things worse. For example, you don't flash (Tecno) P5 files to a D3 or an M3,
01:00
it could make things worse, and then SP Flash tool itself. First things first, we need to install our VCOM drivers
01:09
and that's what PdaNet is for (do a manual VCOM driver install if this fails). So I launch PdaNet
01:14
Note that without drivers, your phone and PC can't communicate (if this fails, install VCOM manually).
01:26
This tells me I have existing Android drivers so I click Yes to overwrite
01:33
Here, my phone brand isn't on the list so I tick Others, OK
01:39
Now, I'm being prompted to connect the phone to the PC with USB Debugging enabled.
01:51
To enable USB Debugging on an Android phone, you go to Settings - Developer Options
01:57
and you tick USB Debugging. I've done that so I'll connect the phone. Alright!
02:03
Connected! Phone is detected. Installing USB Driver. Setting up Network driver.
02:13
At the end of this, I should have my VCOM and MT drivers installed on PC
02:18
FOR NEWER MTK PHONES, DO A MANUAL VCOM DRIVER INSTALL. PDANET METHOD WON'T WORK
02:27
Now, we proceed to SP Flash tool. I'm going to run as Administrator.
02:40
The reason why we run as Administrator is to avoid permission issues which shouldn't be frequent.
02:48
In SP Flash tool, the first thing you need to do is to load the scatter file.
02:55
So I'm going to click Scatter-loading by the right here. In the Window that pops up, you locate the
03:04
MTK backup (firmware) which you have. In this case, its in the Hovatek folder.
03:09
Now, this is the scatter file, it looks something like this. So I highlight it then click Open
03:21
Here I have all my files loaded and ticked. Since I have a bricked phone and all I need to do is flash just the
03:30
system.img, I'll untick the rest. Its important that you only flash what you need in SP Flash tool.
03:38
I leave Android ticked. I double-click to be sure. I select my system.img and then click Open.
03:47
So we're good to go. I click Download. I get a prompt. Not all images are correctly loaded...
04:01
What this is saying is that you did not load all the files, are you sure you want to flash just one file?
04:08
I'm pretty confident I want just one file in this case, just my system.img. I'm going to click a Yes
04:16
Notice that Stop is now red and the rest are grayed out which means you're to connect your phone
04:24
Now, when you connect your phone, you're to ensure its switched off .
04:28
I'm going to take out the battery from mine and slot it back in (just power off if yours is inbuilt)
04:33
but still leave the phone off and then I'm going to connect it to the PC via USB cord.
04:40
[Alarm Clock] I have a detection and SP Flash tool is flashing. You can see the progress bar at the bottom.
04:52
It could take some time so you need to be patient. So Flashing is complete.
05:03
You'll usually know flashing is complete by this green circle saying Download OK
05:08
At this point, you can remove your battery and slot back in (if removable) then boot your phone
05:13
and your phone should be up and running again. --------------------------
