We will cover the most common scenario: unbricking a MediaTek device using Firmware Upgrade.

Security Warning: Preloader and NVRAM

The most dangerous option in SP Flash Tool v5.2112 is “Format All + Download”. This erases the preloader (the first-stage bootloader) and the NVRAM partition.

• If the preloader is erased and the new one is incompatible, your device becomes a true hard brick—only recoverable with a hardware programmer (JTAG or EMMC clip).
• If NVRAM is erased without a backup, your phone will lose IMEI numbers, making it impossible to connect to cellular networks.

Recommendation: Always use Firmware Upgrade instead of Format All. And always backup NVRAM using the Read Back function or a dedicated MTK NVRAM tool.
