Once there appears a new connected device called MT65xx Preloader, do a right click on the device and choose to update the driver, and then search for the driver on the computer, then the “Browse my computer for driver software” button and specify the path where we unpacked our driver (extracted from the archive folder where the .inf files - All MTK USB Driver 2014\All MTK Drivers\New inst. win 7&8x64)

4.In the opened window, click the Scatter-loading (on the right side of the application). File explorer window appears, go to the folder with the unpacked firmware and select the file MT6735M_Android_Scatter.txt :


5. After selecting the desired Scatter-file the program will load all the data about the firmware and its components in the form of a table. Make sure that the Flash Tool automatically checked all the files for the firmware:


6. If all files are checked just click the Download button in the Flash Tool and the tool is in Standby mode. Flash Tool waiting for cable connection.


7. Turn off the smartphone. Connect your phone to a computer via a USB cable, and in a couple of seconds (if the driver has been installed properly) Flash Tool will start the firmware flashing process.


8. Wait until the process of firmware downloading will end (small window with a check mark in a green circle in the middle will appear). Then disconnect the phone from the computer.


9. Now you can simply turn on your smartphone in normal mode. Remember that after flashing, the first load of the device may take a long time (2-3 minutes), be patient.

Yes, on the archive there is NO scatter file, so the archive is useless

Make an update quickly for battery

I was offered update to my BV5000 system by Blackview, so I followed the instruction and now my phone does not startup, gets stuck to BLACKVIEW on bootup. I found information on my phone that update was Android Ver 6.0. " press power key and volume down, select option number 6"
I was not informed that update is an upgrade. Please send me instruction to return this phone back to factory default. following are information.
BB chip; MT6735
MS board; hct6735m_35gu_mo
SW Ver; BV5000_c1_blackview_v1.1_201605513
Barcode; T89W601190375510

Question; BV5000 flash will not restore the software Kernel, correct?
