When the tool opens, the next thing is to click on “Load” to locate the firmware folder you extracted recently.
When you find the folder, click on it and load it to the tool.
Click on the “Settings” button, then click on the “Download Mode,” and choose “Upgrade” as your option.
At the “Download Settings” section, tick the “Validate Downloaded ROM,” and leave the rest as they are if they correspond to the names of the files in the firmware folder.
That is, ensure that everything in the “Download Settings” matches as it is in the firmware folder on your PC.
Also, confirm the “emmc” number matches with the “Chipset” number.
Click OK to save the settings.
Next, click on the “Start” button to begin the flashing.
Power off your phone. While off, press and continue holding the volume up and down buttons, and plug your phone into the PC using the USB cable.
Plugging your phone into the PC while holding the volume button will make the tool detect your device.
Once detected, the flashing will begin automatically.
The flashing will take a few minutes to finish; ensure you do not shake or interrupt the process to avoid bricking your phone.
Once the process finishes, disconnect your phone and boot it on to enjoy the new device.
