Flash ROM with SP Flash Tool On MT6595, MT6592, MT6589, MT6572, MT6582, MT6577

If you'd like to know how to flash a ROM on MT6595, MT6592, MT6589, MT6572, MT6582, MT6577, you're on the right post. Normally we refer people to a rooting post, which includes this information, as the procedure is mostly the same. But for the sake of simplicity, we'll write a stand-alone tutorial.
Note, if you don't have access to a backup, create one first - http://www.giz*k-phone/

Remember, we ARE NOT responsible for any hell that happens to your phone. You take any and all responsibility for messing with your phone.

What you'll need:

• MTK / MediaTek based smartphone
  
• USB Data Cable
  
• USB ADB VCOM drivers
  
• SP Flash Tool
  
• MTK Droid Tools (if scatter not included with ROM)
  

What to do:

• Step 1 - Install the PDANet USB ADB VCOM drivers - http://www.giz*windows/
  
• Step 2 - Download, extract, and run the latest version of SP Flash Tools
  
  
• Step 3 - Check to see if a scatter file exists. Look in the firmware / ROM's folder. You should see a file that looks similar to 'MT6582_Android_scatter_EMMC.txt'. If you don't see the scatter file, you need to create one with MTK Droid Tools. After you've created the scatter, place it in the same folder as the firmware / ROM you intend to flash.
  
  
• Step 4 - Select 'scatter-loading' from upper-right of SP Flash Tools. Navigate to the ROM / Firmware's directory and you should see a file that looks something like MT6582_Android_scatter_EMMC.txt. Select this and you should then see a checklist of different parts of the ROM load in the bottom portion of SP Flash Tools.
  
  
• Step 5 - Deselect 'preloader' in the checklist. If you don't want the firmware / ROM to mess with your current partitioning, deselect EBR1 and EBR2 as well. NOTE: If you're sure you have the correct firmware for your phone, you can leave Preloader selected.
  
• Step 5.5 - If you are only flashing recovery, deselect everything except for recovery.img. Double click recovery line and direct Flash Tool to location of your recovery. (see video at 02:00)
  
  
• Step 6 - Make sure the phone is disconnected from USB and powered off. Select 'download' from the top of SP Flash Tools. NOTE: If all portions of the firmware are checked, then you can select 'Firmware Upgrade'. If you have problems with 'Firmware Upgrade' or vice versa, you can try the other one.
  
  
• Step 7 - Connect USB cable to phone and watch the pretty colors fly
