Micromax D320 Bolt firmware. How to flash a Xiaomi phone using MiFlash Flash using a computer

Micromax phones, smartphones and tablets are produced by the Indian company Micromax Mobile, positioned in the industry consumer electronics. For a Russian user, this may be an unfamiliar company. And this is no coincidence: Micromax devices are not as famous as Samsung, Apple, Asus, Microsoft. Although they managed to enter the wide market thanks to their budget devices with quite good characteristics, the share of their gadgets on the market is still very small.

Micromax installs the Android operating system on its devices. This should not have surprised you, because this OS is used by everyone who is not too lazy - Android, like open system, can be installed on almost any device. However, back in 2014, Micromax released two devices for Windows control. These devices were not popular with the public (as was the Windows Phone at this time), hence the company decided to stop producing such phones.

Although Micromax is not a very popular company, it still produces high-quality and interesting smartphones.

It’s difficult to say whether Micromax produces good gadgets or bad ones. Today, the market for such devices is so wide and diverse that sometimes we simply do not know about the existence of some devices. Although, perhaps, among them there are some that definitely deserve special attention. We won’t go into the details of this protracted conversation, so let’s get down to how to flash a Micromax smartphone.

What do you need to know before installing the firmware?

At first glance, it may seem that you are neither strong nor able to take this difficult step. However, flashing the firmware of any smartphone is nothing more than simply following the instructions. If you have your hands in the right place (metaphorically speaking) and you know how to read, then your chances have just skyrocketed to unprecedented heights. After all, all you need to do is carefully read each point of the manual, analyze it, and also be able to adapt the situation to your particular case. Then you will definitely be lucky. First, let's figure out what you need to know before you start flashing the firmware for a Micromax phone (for example, Micromax d320)?

Be sure to charge your device to at least 70-80 percent. For what, you ask? Everything is very simple: under no circumstances should the smartphone turn off during flashing, otherwise quite big problems will arise.
You probably yourself know that you need to use the original cable that came with your phone. But often users simply do not attach due importance to this point, which leads to operational problems. Please note that the cable is only needed when flashing using a computer. If you just want to update the operating system version using the device itself, then you do not need a cable.
You will need, in fact, the firmware itself that you want to install on your device. Things are especially bad in this regard with the brainchild of the Micromax company - it is very difficult to find firmware files for these gadgets, and sometimes they do not exist at all. It even happens that users cannot find a document for even the native firmware. So first of all try to do this. Otherwise further actions they just don't make sense.
After mentioning the OS update in the second paragraph, you probably realized that the Micromax firmware can be divided into two categories: updating the operating system and updating the firmware using an electronic computer. The last category involves recycling third party programs and utilities, which means that you do all manipulations with the gadget at your own peril and risk. And if you just update, then you will need a wireless connection Wi-Fi connection with large, or better yet, unlimited traffic.
The main condition is patience, because you may not be able to flash it the first time, you may have to google a lot and look for solutions to various problems. Therefore, it is important to be prepared for anything.

Flashing using a computer

So, this instruction Suitable for those people who have all official updates installed, but there are some problems with the device. Or you are simply not satisfied with the built-in firmware version and want to change it to a third-party one. We will look at this process using the example of the most popular Micromax a093 device.

Before you do anything with your smartphone, you need to make a backup using the MtkDroidTools application. This software will save your data. (http://firmwareupg.ru/load2.php?search=MtkDroidTools.rar)
Now download the SP firmware program Flash Tool. (http://firmwareupg.ru/file/SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1348.00.zip)
Then download the necessary drivers for the Flash Tool and the computer itself. (http://firmwareupg.ru/load2.php?search=Driver_autorun_1.0.11.rar), (http://firmwareupg.ru/load2.php?search=Preloader_driver_ver.2.08.rar)
Install all downloaded files on your PC and reboot your smart machine (or laptop). Please note that to install drivers on Windows, you must disable driver signature verification.
Now download the firmware. The most stable version is considered to be ROM SW28 AOSP 2816, which can be downloaded from the link (http://firmwareupg.ru/load2.php?search=ROM_SW28_AOSP_2816.rar). You can also try MIUI V7 http://firmwareupg.ru/loadphp?search=MIUI_v7_5.11.5.rar(http://firmwareupg.ru/load2.php?search=MIUI_v7_5.11.5.rar). The archive with the firmware must be unpacked in a visible place.
Now enable the Flash_tool.exe utility and click on Scatter-loading. Here you will need to select “MT65**_Android_scatter_emmc.txt”. Very important point: The “DA DL All With Check Sum” checkbox must be checked. We repeat once again, this must be done!
Now in the lower window of the program, add the same checkboxes in the required sections. After that, click on Download.
The last step is to connect your Micromax smartphone to your computer. If the previously performed actions are correct, you will see a green circle. That's all, you can continue working with the gadget as usual.

Official OS update

Everything is much simpler here. There is no need to download any drivers, programs, or utilities. We do this:

Go to Settings. This item is easy to find in the main menu of the device.
Now find “About device” where there is an “Update” tab. Click on "Update". If your smartphone says that updates have already been installed on your device, it means that there are no available firmwares for your device. That is, the latest one is installed available version operating system.
Otherwise, you need to agree to download the update and wait for it to complete. When finished, click on the “Install” button.
All you have to do is wait for the installation to complete and only then use the phone as usual.

Official firmware Micromax Canvas Pace 4G Q415

Download the program for Micromax firmware – Qualcomm Smartphone Software Update Tool and Uniscope Qualcomm driver V1.0.1

Unpack the downloaded files into convenient location on a PC (it is better to do this in the root folder with a name in Latin characters).

The first step is to install drivers from Qualcomm. To do this, enter the device into Qualcomm QDLoader mode (turn off the Micromax Canvas Pace 4G Q415 phone, hold down both volume buttons at the same time and press Power). The device will go into white screen mode. In this state we connect it to the PC.

Open the device manager, install it on unknown devices driver from the Uniscope_Qualcomm driver_V1.0.1 folder. I won’t go into detail about manually installing drivers and selecting the destination folder; Google works seven days a week.

We call the command line on behalf of the Administrator by alternately executing these 2 commands:

bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON

Once both commands are completed, close the Command Prompt and restart your computer.

Not official firmware Micromax Canvas Pace 4G Q415

If you decide to flash your Micromax Canvas Pace 4G Q415 phone with non-official custom firmware, the first thing you need to do is install custom recovery TWRP recovery on your smartphone, and only then install the firmware you like through this recovery.

Installing custom recovery TWRP recovery

Once in the device manager you have approximately the same picture as shown above, you can proceed to next step. Yes, when connecting the phone to the PC, an RSA authorization request will appear on the phone screen; you must accept it.

For your choice, I offer several versions of recovery for the micromax canvas phone

We reboot the smart phone in TWRP recovery mode (To install miui, you need TWRP version 3.0.0.0 and higher). In order to enter TWRP, you need to turn on the phone while simultaneously holding the Volume Up and Power buttons.

Modern smartphones cannot be imagined without their main component – the operating system. It is this that reveals to the user the enormous potential of a smartphone, allowing a person to work with a powerful device as conveniently and dynamically as possible. Absolutely all smartphones come off the assembly line with a pre-installed operating system.

Users who are not satisfied standard firmware, have the opportunity to install their own, having at hand a computer and a clear set of programs and drivers. Firmware via MiFlash will help not only update the internal components, but also fix a huge number of problems, including bootlap, persistent system errors and a “bricked” apparatus.

What will you need to have in order to successfully install new firmware?

Computer running operating room Windows systems versions 7, 8, 8.1, 10 of any capacity ;
The program that will be used to install the firmware (it will also install all the necessary drivers for operation). If you have installed old version, then before installing a new one, you must remove the old one.
Downloaded firmware that needs to be installed on the phone. It must be up-to-date, stable and exactly suitable for your specific phone model. The firmware format should be ".tgz", if you only have ".gz", just rename its format.
Your smartphone, its model must be no older than Xiaomi Mi3 and have a Qualcomm processor.

Installing MiFlash

Disabling driver verification

For proper interaction between a computer and a phone, you must have installed drivers on Windows. In order for them to be installed correctly into the system, you need to disable the function on your computer that verifies the authenticity of installed drivers - then the phone will be flashed without problems.

For Windows 7, restart your computer. Immediately after loading the BIOS, quickly press the F8 button several times (you may have a different key), after a short time a list of additional commands for loading the operating system will appear. In the section " Additional options Downloads" select "Disable mandatory driver signature".

Remember this step, if, when following these instructions, problems arise with the driver installation, in the command line running as administrator, enter and run the following commands one after another:

bcdedit.exe /set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit.exe /set TESTSIGNING ON

After each command, check the computer's response that the command was completed successfully, then turn off and on the computer.

IN Windows environments 8, 8.1 and 10, hold down the Shift key on the keyboard, then use the mouse to reboot through the “Start” button. Follow the path by clicking the “Diagnostics”, “Advanced options”, “Boot options”, “Restart” buttons on the screen. The system will reboot; in the corresponding screen, press F7 to use the boot option “Disable mandatory driver signature verification”.

Launch MiFlash

Download the MiFlash program. The archive must be unpacked into a previously prepared folder with the same name along the path “C:\Android\”. To avoid syntax errors in all paths, use only the Latin alphabet, no Cyrillic alphabet, spaces and a minimum of characters.
Select the firmware that needs to be installed. Download it to your computer and unpack the archive into the above folder.
Run executable file programs. Agree to start installing the drivers by clicking on the “Next” button (if the installation does not occur properly, see point 1). You will have to wait a while for the files to be unpacked and integrated into the system. After notification of successful installation, close the program window by clicking on the “End” button.

Connecting your phone to your computer

Now let's move on to the phone. Make sure it is charged at least 50%. Turn it off in the usual way, then switch it to “Fastboot” mode - turn it on with a special key combination, holding down the power button and the volume rocker down at the same time. After a short time, an image with a bunny wearing earflaps will appear.

When the phone is in this mode, connect it to the computer. It is very advisable to use the wire that came with the phone - this will ensure maximum stable connection. If you don't have one, just take the wire good quality. Insert the corresponding plug into the Xiaomi device, plug the other end into the USB 2.0 connector on your laptop or computer.
Launch Command Prompt in Windows as Administrator. Using the cd c:\Android\ command, go to the directory created earlier when installing the miflash program.
We check the “friendship” of the computer and the phone - enter the command fastboot devices into the command line, after which an inscription similar to xxxxxxx fastboot will appear (it will mean that the synchronization was successful). If we see the message waiting for device on the screen, you need to check whether you forgot to connect the phone, and also check that the cable is working properly. Alternatively, reinstall the drivers.

Using the fastboot oem reboot-edl command, switch the smartphone to special mode"Emergency Download Mode". At this time, a sound notification notifies you about the appearance of a new device on your computer. The synchronization of the devices is completed, you can proceed directly to the firmware.

Phone firmware

Open the MiFlash program again. Click on the “Refresh” button, then use “..” to show the program the folder where you previously placed the required firmware.
Next, we need to choose whether we will save the data on the phone or completely delete everything. As a rule, the second option is recommended; then the firmware will be installed most correctly. Click on the “Flash all except storage” button in order to leave the data on the phone, for full formatting select "Flash all". After making your selection, click on “Flash”. Then the program will perform the selected action, and the firmware of Xiaomi Redmi 3S (or any other) will begin.

The speed of installation of the operating system depends on the size of the firmware itself, the speed of the cable and the speed of the memory inside the device. In any case, a time investment of 10 minutes to 1 hour is quite normal.
After completion of work MiFlash phone will reboot on its own. If the automatic reboot was not performed, run the fastboot oem reboot-edl command in the Windows command line, or press and hold the power button on the phone until the firmware logo appears on the display. Then carefully disconnect the cable from the smartphone.
After installation new firmware The phone will take a relatively long time to boot for the first time. Depending on the technical nuances of the operating system, the boot logo can hang from 5 minutes to half an hour. In exceptional cases, you can try to wait 1-2 hours provided that the phone is connected to the charger.

Possible problems

If no changes are observed on the screen for a long time, try removing the battery for 20-25 minutes, then inserting it back and starting the smartphone again. If this does not help, leave it turned on for a long time so that its battery is completely discharged (do not forget about the phone in this form for a very long time, no more than 4-8 hours (depending on the battery capacity and its age) to avoid serious problems with the battery). After the phone turns off, connect it to the charger and turn it on again.

If the steps described above do not help, try installing a different firmware, or reinstalling the previously selected one.

If during the installation of the operating system a notification appears that there is not enough memory to perform this operation, try repeating the instructions on Windows x64. If changing the OS bit depth does not help, you will have to use another very popular installation program - Flashtools.

If the error “remote-Need to unlock the devices to use this command” appears, then you need to contact the official MIUI website with a request to unlock the bootloader to install the firmware, details can be read in.

Bottom line

Following these instructions, any phone with an unlocked bootloader can be flashed with a suitable operating system using MiFlash Android system, which will help to maximally adjust the phone to the needs of an individual user. Correcting software errors, restoring the “bricks” or simply replacing the internal components of the smartphone will help you use the phone for its intended purpose.

Market oriented budget smartphones The Indian company Micromax announced back in March 2015 a 4.5-inch Bolt D320 model with the usual 2 cores, 0.5 GB of RAM and 4 GB of internal memory, a TFT matrix and two average-quality recording cameras. Nevertheless, this “workhorse” still enjoys its popularity due to its low cost.

The manufacturer does not support the device with up-to-date software, although the outdated Micromax D320 Bolt firmware can gradually slow down the already not the fastest gadget. In this case, only updating your smartphone yourself will help.
