Q1. My phone's touchscreen is unresponsive or registers touches in wrong areas. Can flashing fix this?

Yes, if the touchscreen issue is software-related. Corrupted touchscreen drivers or calibration data can cause unresponsiveness or inaccurate touch detection. Flashing the stock firmware will reinstall the original, factory-calibrated touchscreen drivers, which should restore normal functionality. If the problem persists after a clean flash, the digitiser hardware may be physically damaged.

Q2. The device randomly restarts during use, especially when opening certain apps. Will this resolve stability issues?

Absolutely. Random reboots are typically caused by system file corruption or incompatible software modifications. A full firmware flash replaces the entire operating system, eliminating corrupted files and providing a clean, stable foundation that should prevent unexpected restarts and improve overall system stability.

Q3. I'm getting "Insufficient storage available" errors even after deleting files. Can this fix storage problems?

Yes, this is a common issue on older Android devices where the storage allocation system becomes corrupted. A full firmware flash will reformat and repartition the internal storage, restoring the proper file system structure and eliminating errors that prevent available space from being recognized correctly by the system.

Q3. I’m getting “Insufficient storage available” errors even after deleting files. Can this fix storage problems?: Yes, this is a common issue on older Android devices where the storage allocation system becomes corrupted. A full firmware flash will reformat and repartition the internal storage, restoring the proper file system structure and eliminating errors that prevent available space from being recognized correctly by the system.

Device-Specific Troubleshooting

Phone Not Detected by SP Flash Tool: This is almost always a driver issue. Uninstall all previous phone drivers from Device Manager. Use the “MTK Driver Auto Installer” package for a clean installation. With the phone disconnected, click “Download” in SP Flash Tool, then connect the powered-off phone. If detection fails, try holding the Volume Down button while connecting the USB cable.
“BROM ERROR: S-CHIPHASH_NOT_MATCH (5069)”: This common error on MT65xx chips often indicates the phone’s battery is too low to initiate flashing. Disconnect the phone, charge it for at least 30-40 minutes, and try again. For devices with removable batteries, try removing and reinserting the battery before connecting to PC.
Invalid IMEI (Baseband Unknown) After Successful Flash: This occurs when the NVRAM partition is corrupted. While flashing in “Download Only” mode usually preserves IMEI, if it’s lost, you’ll need to use Maui META or SN Writer to rewrite your original IMEI numbers. You’ll need the MP0B_001 file from the firmware and your original IMEI values.
Stuck on Boot Animation After Flash: If the flash completes but the phone won’t boot completely, you need to clear user data. Boot into recovery mode (usually Power + Volume Up) and perform a “wipe data/factory reset” and “wipe cache partition”. This clears incompatible data from the previous installation.
Camera Not Working After Flash: If the camera fails after flashing, ensure you used the correct firmware for your exact model variant. Different hardware revisions may have different camera modules. If the problem persists, try flashing again using “Firmware Upgrade” mode instead of “Download Only” to ensure all partitions are properly written.
