2. Format All + Download Without Battery

While the official tool often requires a connected, charged battery, the edited version includes a modified preloader driver that enables "Format All + Download" even with a low or disconnected battery—a risky but sometimes necessary feature for hard-bricked devices.

Once your device is unbricked, uninstall the edited version and revert to the official SP Flash Tool for any future legitimate flashes.

Step‑by‑step: Safely flash a MediaTek device with SP Flash Tool

1. Files to prepare:

   • Correct scatter file + firmware package for your exact model.
   • SP Flash Tool binary (edited Kurdish GSM build if you prefer).
   • MTK VCOM drivers (signed/unsigned depending on OS).
   • USB cable, Windows PC, backup of important data.

2. Install drivers:

   • Disable driver signature enforcement on Windows if required.
   • Run the VCOM driver installer included with the package and reboot.

3. Launch SP Flash Tool:

   • Right-click → Run as administrator.
   • Click “Scatter-loading” and select the scatter file from the firmware folder.

4. Choose download mode:

   • Use “Download Only” to write selected partitions (safer).
   • Use “Firmware Upgrade” to update system and preserve some data/structure (still risky).
   • Use “Format All + Download” only if explicitly required — it erases IMEI and userdata.

5. Select partitions:

   • Verify partition list matches your firmware. Uncheck any partitions you don’t intend to flash (e.g., userdata, preloader unless necessary).
   • NEVER flash a preloader from a different model unless you know what you’re doing.

6. Start flashing:

   • Click “Download” (or “Firmware Upgrade”).
   • Power off device, remove battery if removable, then connect via USB while holding required key (varies by model) or simply connect a powered-off device if battery non-removable.
   • Wait for the process to finish — a green checkmark indicates success.

7. Post‑flash steps:

   • Disconnect and boot device normally.
   • If stuck in bootloop, try booting into recovery and performing a factory reset.
   • Restore user data from backup.

Troubleshooting (common issues)

• Device not detected: reinstall VCOM drivers, try different USB ports, use original cable, disable driver signature enforcement.
• Authentication/DA errors on newer MTK devices: those devices may require authorized signed images or an authentication file—stock SP Flash Tool may not work.
• Stuck at "BROM" or hanging: try using a different SP Flash Tool build, or re-download the scatter/firmware.

Risks & precautions (brief)

• Wrong scatter/firmware can permanently brick a device.
• Flashing will usually erase user data; back up first.
• Ensure battery ≥50% and stable USB cable/port.
• Only use firmware intended for the exact model and region.
• Download tools and firmware from trusted sources to avoid malware.

Who is "Kurdish GSM"?

"Kurdish GSM" is not a registered company but an alias used by a group or individual within the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) repair community, believed to originate from the Kurdistan region. They are known for releasing tweaked, "unlocked," or "patched" versions of various mobile maintenance tools, including:

• SP Flash Tool
• Miracle Box
• Octoplus Box software
• Various Samsung and Xiaomi unlockers

Their reputation is mixed: they are celebrated by technicians in developing markets for enabling free or low-cost repairs but criticized by official OEMs and security experts for facilitating illegal modifications (e.g., IMEI changes, FRP bypasses).
