Normally we refer people to this post, as the procedure is mostly the same. But for the sake of simplicity, we’ll write a stand-alone tutorial.

This will just be the bare bones tutorial. The full tutorial with required file links and images is posted at the forum here.

Note, if you don’t have access to a backup, create one first . Remember, we ARE NOT responsible for any hell that happens to your phone. You take any and all responsibility for messing with your phone.

What you’ll need:

MTK / MediaTek based smartphone
USB Data Cable
USB ADB VCOM drivers
SP Flash Tool
MTK Droid Tools (if scatter not included with ROM)

What to do:

Step 1 – Install the PDANet USB ADB VCOM drivers
Step 2 – If you don’t have a scatter file, you need to create one with MTK Droid Tools. (See how to create a scatter file)
Step 3 – Download, extract, and run the latest version of SP Flash Tools
Step 4 – Select load scatter file
Step 5 – Deselect ‘preloader’
Step 6 – Select ‘download’
Step 7 – Connect USB cable to phone and watch the pretty colors fly

That’s it. If it sounds easy, you’re good to go. If it sounds a bit difficult and you’d like further instructions, please see the tutorial on the forum, which includes images and more detailed instruction.

Hi,

I tried this method to apply the last firmware on my W450 MTK6582 but it seems that nothing is running.
My phone is well known by my pc (Windows XP) but i don’t succeed in installing the last firmware.
Could you help me?

Hello,
Done something wrong!!! my whole Device was formatted by SPFT. Nothing now seems to matter to the Device (Cat B15 (MT6577)). During Connection to PC via USB I recognized that it connects in meta mode for a few seconds for about every 10 mins! I’ve tried some different Drivers to solve that, but no gain! I’ve now ordered a RS232>MicroUSB Cable to try another FlashTool I’ve found! (will give info by any success) .
If anybody here could give another Tip (knewing of the right Testpoints…)to UnBrick my Phone, pls let me know

so far, so on

Hi,
I’m new in this forum and i’m new in the topic of china phones. Recently i bought a china mobile with O.S. Android 4.2.2 with views iOS7 (apple), but doesn’t have all functions. The phone model is MTK6572.

I would like to change the ROM. i’d like to install the real O.S. Androis with all the functions. Flashing with new ROM.

What do you advice me do? Is there any problem to change the ROM?

  Hi Rizwan.
  
  I have the exact same issue as you describe here.
  
  Have you managed to resolve it and install a new ROM on this device?
  
  If so, I would really appreciate it if you could let me know how and where from.
  
  Thank you in advance.

Hi.
I bought the DG550. After updating to kit kat using the official rom, my sim card is not recognized anymore. Some apps are forced closed and i cant use the phone. Had to revert to the original stock rom.
Do you know of some similar problems? Is there a workaround?

Thank You!

  Hi, did you do an OTA or flash with flash tools?
  
  Also, did you try to restore your apps after installing KitKat?
  
  If you did OTA and/or restored apps with data after the flash, then please try a clean install of the ROM with flash tool and don’t restore your apps with data.

    Hi. Thank you for your help.
    I e-mailed the problem to doogee and they told me to restore to factory settings.
    I’m new to mtk devices so i’m kind of lost…
    The upgrade was made using flash tools and with the official kit kat rom from doogee, wich was posted in needrom.com website.
    After the initial problem of installing the usb driver, i managed to install the rom using the option “download only” in flash tools. I wasn’t sure if that was the correct option but it worked.
    After the 1st boot i then powered off the device, inserted the sim card and started getting forced closed apps. The sim never connected.
    I then flashed the stock rom 4.2.9 using the same method and had no problems.
    So, your suggesting to do the update using flash tools and then cleaning the data from all apps? How is it done if the window of the closed app keeps poping up?
    In my previous devices, whenever i installed a new rom, all the data was erased previously using CWM, hence my question.
    
    Thank you for your time and excellent reviews by the way!

      Hello Pedro,
      
      What apps were closing?
      
      There’s a possibility that the cache wasn’t wiped / written over. Were your old apps still on the phone after the upgrade was done?
      
      Have you tried booting into recovery and doing a factory reset?
      
      If that doesn’t fix it for you, download this ROM and do “Firmware update” instead of “Download”.

        Hi.
        Sorry to bother you again but i’m still unable to solve this problem…
        So…In the stock rom i did a factory reset from inside the android. I didn’t root the phone yet so i used the option to reset to factory settings from inside the android.
        Then installed the official 4.4.2 rom using flashtools and the option to upgrade firmware. Inserted the sim card and same problem. The apps that are closing are: com.android.phone and power saving management.
        Then removed the sim card, did another factory restore from the KK, and tried the sim card and again same problem.
        Also, installed some apps in the 4.2.9, and after the upgrade the apps were no longer there. I supposed it’s being properly formatted.
        Then i did the same steps with the rom you provided (much thanks, by the way) and same problem.
        I guess i’m reverting again to jellybean…
        Am i missing a step? I don’t know if a can root the phone and not losing the warranty. I would prefer if i could solve this without routing the phone…
        So if you have any other suggestions i’m opened to try.
        I will continue to send mails to doogee anyways, to see if they can be more helpful but until now, not so lucky.
        Thanks again for your help.

Hi again.
Just something i forgot.
I’m seeing people with problems with the IMEI. Can this be the case?
Do i have to root the phone to solve it if that’s the case?

Thanks again.
