In this video tutorial, I'll be explaining how to backup a Mediatek Android phone using Miracle Box.
00:32
Make sure you have your Mediatek USB VCOM drivers and of course your Miracle Box. I had dropped a guide on
00:40
how to readback using SP Flash tool, you can check that out, but this is a much easier method.
00:47
First, install your Mediatek USB VCOM drivers. These drivers help Miracle Box communicate with your phone
00:54
its very important you install these drivers. Launch your device manager. I want to install the drivers
01:09
Now, in device manager, you tick any item. If you're using a Windows 8 or 10 PC, disable signature verification
01:22
We have a guide at the Hovatek Forum on how to disable signature verification on a Windows 8 or 10 PC
01:28
so see that guide because this driver you're about to install is an unsigned driver. If you don't disable,
01:36
you will not be able to install it. Back to device manager, select any item then click on Action -
01:43
Add Legacy Hardware - Next - Install.... - Next - Next - Have Disk.. - Browse - Navigate to the location
02:04
of the VCOM drivers and select your driver. Don't forget to disable your antivirus when using Miracle Box
02:21
because it might see Miracle Box as a malware. I forgot to explain something here. I'm using a Windows 10 PC
02:43
you can see (from here) I cannot find Windows 10. I'm going to use drivers for Window 7 (same for Windows 8)
02:49
Now, this is for 32, this is for 64 bit. So its very important you know your PC's architecture.
02:59
To find out that, go to My Computer or This PC, right-click it, select Properties then it appears. Mine is 64 bit
03:07
I'm going to be selecting the 64 bit version, select Open - click OK - Next - Next. So I standby
03:19
Alright! The following hardware was installed, Mediatek DA USB VCOM Port. You can see I have a Code 10 error
03:26
This is nothing to worry about, the reason you're getting it is because you installed an unsigned driver
03:31
So its nothing to worry about.You might also see some yellow triangles here, its also nothing to worry about.
03:41
You've installed an unsigned driver and Windows thinks it might not work but it doesn't mean it won't work
03:49
I assure you (if you follow this guide), its definitely going to work. So I've installed drivers, next
03:56
is Miracle Box. I open the Miracle Box folder and launch it. It might take a bit to come up, be patient
04:08
Alright! Miracle Box is up. Click on MTK since you're backing up a Mediatek Android phone. Tick Read
04:28
Select the chipset type for your phone. I will be selecting MT65xx, that is my phone's chipset.
04:41
Now, at this point, you have 2 options, you can choose to backup as scatter format i.e SP Flash tool format
04:49
or backup the entire firmware as a (single) bin file. If you want to backup in scatter / sp flash tool format
04:58
so that you can flash using sp flash tool, click on Save as scatter file. I'll still be showing you the other method
05:07
you click on save as scatter file, click on the Start button. Now, you can see Waiting for USB port
05:21
At this point, you switch off the phone, still with battery inside and connect it via USB cord. Don't
05:29
press anything (button), just standby. Next thing is you'll get this box here asking you to select what
05:38
blocks you wish to backup. You can choose to tick everything if you want. I'll be backing up just boot
05:48
I'm still going to show you the bin method. I click on OK. I'll select the location where I want the file saved
06:06
[Car horn] Alright! So you have something like this. Once that is done, You'll have the Done message.
06:27
Go back to the folder you selected and you should see it backed up. You might see it (boot) in .bin format
06:57
If you want to flash the boot in SP Flash tool, just rename from .bin to .img but I will not be doing that
07:11
For the second method, you backup the entire firmware as a single .bin file. You won't tick save as scatter file
07:24
so I'll be unticking this then disconnect the phone (from PC). Still leaving it switched off with battery inside
07:35
I click on Start button. Next I connect. You're going to get a prompt asking where you want to save the
07:50
firmware to. Its going to be in .bin format. I Click on Save. This process can take quite some time
08:04
You have to be patient. Its very important you do not interrupt the process. It has started backing up
08:13
I'll wait a few seconds to see that its loading (1%). If the USB cord gets disconnected, you just have to

Finally Hovatek is making reviews/videos on Miracle box software. I have long waited for this.Much help would be required on this. This software over sometimes now have bin agreed to b suited in flashing China Mobile phones.

[@Phjghh]

I read my intex phone using scatter method. But after creating the scatter file, i can't flash that read firmware on Sp flash tool. It shows "chip type not match. Target effuse value..." I had seen solution for this by you somewhere, but i can't recall now. I remember it has something to do with editing scatter file. Please tell how to do this.

[@HovatekTV]

you best flash back using miracle box. To use SP flash tool, refer to forum.hovatek.com/thread-24287.html

[@Phjghh]

@@HovatekTV ok. Thanks. One question. I rooted my Intex phone (china phone, indian brand) and de-bloated it.After that, i created scatter file using your method. I flashed the created file using miracle box. It is working. Will the same created file work on other phone of the same model, or it will only on my phone as the scatter file was created with my phone? I want to share that file with others by uploading it.

[@HovatekTV]

@@Phjghh It depends on your device. Since flashing a backup works fine, its unlikely to have secure boot so you're good there. The only other obstacle is variants. Some models tend to have a lot of variants whose firmware either can't be inter flashed or result in bugs when inter flashed. You should be able to use this backup on other phones of the same model, just backup their firmware before flashing as a precaution.

[@Phjghh]

@@HovatekTV ok. Thank you. Your answer made me think about hardware version of phone. I want to upload that created flash and mention about hw version. What is your country?
