  3. Ensure the flashing mode in the dropdown menu is set to “Download Only.”
  4. Power off your phone and remove the battery. Click the green “Download” button in SP Flash Tool, then connect the phone to your PC via USB cable (without the battery).

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1. Can I use this firmware to upgrade my phone to a newer Android version?
No. This is the official Android 7.0 Nougat firmware, which was the final OS version officially released for the BQ-5022 Bond.
Q2. I’m getting a “BROM ERROR” in SP Flash Tool. What should I do?
BROM errors typically indicate a communication failure between the PC and the device’s chipset. The most common causes are incorrect VCOM drivers, a faulty USB cable, or an unstable USB port. Re-install the drivers, try a different cable/port, and ensure the phone is completely powered off before connecting it.
Q3. My phone’s IMEI is showing as “Invalid” after flashing. How can I fix this?
An invalid IMEI is caused by erasing the NVRAM partition, which happens if you use the “Format All + Download” option in SP Flash Tool. This stock firmware, when flashed in “Download Only” mode, will not restore a lost IMEI. You will need a separate, more advanced tool like Maui META to write your original IMEI numbers back to the phone.

🔧 Device-Specific Troubleshooting

  • Phone Not Detected by PC: The removable battery simplifies this process. If the phone is not detected, the issue is almost always the VCOM drivers. Re-install them correctly. Then, click “Download” in SP Flash Tool *before* connecting the phone (without its battery) to the PC to ensure it’s in the correct state.
  • “S_BROM_DOWNLOAD_DA_FAIL” Error: This is a common error with MT6580 devices that can sometimes be caused by an incompatibility with the Download Agent (DA) file included in the tool. Using a newer version of the SP Flash Tool, which contains an updated DA, can often resolve this issue.
  • “PMT changed for the ROM” Error: This partition error can occur if the existing software on the phone has a different layout from the firmware you are flashing. To fix this, change the flashing mode in SP Flash Tool from “Download Only” to “Firmware Upgrade” and try again. This will erase all data.
  • Stuck on BQ Logo After Flashing: If the flash completes but the phone won’t boot, you must perform a factory reset. Power off the device, then boot into recovery mode (usually by holding Power + Volume Up). In the menu, select “wipe data/factory reset,” and then reboot.
