Q1. My phone is infected with a virus that keeps showing ads and installing apps. Will this firmware remove it?

Yes, absolutely. This is a very common issue with this model. Flashing the stock firmware is the most effective way to remove deep-rooted malware that a simple factory reset cannot get rid of, as it completely overwrites the entire software system.

Q2. I factory reset my phone and now it's asking for a previous Google account. How do I bypass this?

You are stuck on the Factory Reset Protection (FRP) lock. Flashing the official firmware with the SPD Upgrade Tool is a reliable way to remove this lock. The process wipes the phone clean, allowing you to set it up from scratch without needing the old account details.

Q3. My BQ-5047L Like is stuck on the BQ logo and won't start. Is it dead?

This is a common software problem known as a bootloop, and it's highly unlikely your phone is dead. It means the operating system files are corrupted. Following this guide to reinstall the firmware will fix the corrupted files and allow your phone to boot up normally again.

BQ Mobile BQ-5047L Like Firmware (Stock ROM)

The BQ Mobile BQ-5047L Like is an entry-level smartphone designed for basic functionality, running the optimized Android 10 (Go Edition). Due to its budget-friendly nature, it is particularly susceptible to software issues over time, including performance degradation, stubborn malware infections that factory resets cannot remove, and becoming stuck on the BQ logo (bootloop). For users facing these frustrating problems, flashing the official stock firmware is the definitive solution to restore the device, clean it from viruses, and return it to its original, functional state.

ℹ️ Important Note:
This device is powered by a UNISOC (Spreadtrum) chipset and the flashing process requires the SPD Upgrade Tool. This procedure will completely erase all your personal data. Ensure you back up everything important before proceeding.

The flashing process fails with an error: A failed flash can be due to a corrupted download. Download the firmware file again and extract it. Additionally, try right-clicking on UpgradeDownload.exe and selecting “Run as administrator” to avoid permission issues.
