Unbricking Phantom A

Unbricking Tecno A

Ok so you rooted and installed apps and somehow and someway you managed to brick your device...lets fix it.

FILES
First of all, here are the files you will need:

1. Stock rom for phantom A: Here and get the flash files here

2. Specific flashtool that works on A: Here

3. Drivers for the A: Here (I would advice that you uninstall any previous drivers for any tecno you have installed as they might cause a conflict. here is a way to test if your drivers are working properly. with the phone off, open your computers device manager and plug the phone. you should see "mediatek preloader..." come up for about 5 seconds and disappear. if it shows with a yellow arrow on it then the drivers are not installed correctly. if it doesnt have the yellow arrow then you are good to go.)

DISCLAIMER: Follow THESE instructions and Download THESE files for TECNO PHANTOM A only. I will not be held for any mishap caused by instructions followed from somewhere else.


HOW TO FLASH:
1. now open the folder where u downloaded d files to (everything must be in d same folder o) and cut the scatter file out and paste it in anoda place (anywhere. just make sure its not in d same folder as the other files).
open sp flash tools and use d file tab to load DAT scatter file.

2. now it should show you a list of things to flash. untick everything except recovery, boot and system (that means only these 3 should be ticked o). now double click on d word recovery and select d recovery you downloaded there. please make sure everything is in d same folder o.
do the same for the boot and system image u downloaded.

3. remove the bat3 from the bricked or unhappy A. click download in sp flash tools and plug d bricked f7. flashing will begin and when it ends you should see a green circle. if it doesnt start den remove and plug again. if you try three times and it doesnt flash den u didnt install the drivers correctly.

4.if you see the green circle then congrats you have successfully flashed your phone. now please first things first, after you finish patting yourself on the back about what a wonderful guru you are. put off the phone and wait for it to vibrate. the hold the volume up button and press and hold the power button until it shows you three options. use the volume button to navigate to recovery mode and use the volume down button to select it. cwm should boot. now please backup your phone.

thank you guys...its been a pleasure.

Let's pretend

Let's pretend we cared and it all made sense
Let's believe we did our best and it all paid off
Because if we don't then we accept the blame
And are responsible for the broken glass

Let's pretend we actually voted
Pretend we got who we wanted
Because if we can't then the wolves come out
And we are left with sheep's clothing

Let's pretend it was our choice
Say we agreed to the policies
So we can say we have failed
And karma has paid

Let's pretend they had good lives
Nod our heads and say it was destiny
That way the bombs would be from God
And the blame not on us

Let's pretend we are all educated
And that our leaders are wise
And then we could Rest assured
We are represented outside as we should be

Let's pretend public officials were true
Let's assume they are misunderstood
That way we can join hands and search
For that elusive saboteur crippling us

Let's pretend this wasn't Nigeria
Let's call it an experiment
Little learned and little gained
Let's call it a day.
