How To Backup / ROM Dump MTK Android Devices

ROM Backup or ROM Dumping?

Backing is always in the precautionary measures in modding, that is why there are several ways which are created to be used on certain situations to backup or dump any ROM.

This article will be discussing another way to backup and do ROM dump for Mediatek (MTK) android phones and tablets. Lucky you if you have an MTK android phone.

How To Fully Backup or ROM dump any Mediatek (MTK) Devices (Phones and Tablets)

For all Mediatek devices such as MT6595, MT6592, MT6589, MT6582, MT6577, MT6575, MT6573, MT6572 and hopefully for all other MT65xx in the future as long has having a EXT4 block type, I suggest you follow the method of making a backup or ROM dump by using tools made for Mediatek itself, MTK Droid Root and Tools as well as SP Flash Tool. So, what are we waiting for? Let us begin.

NOTE: Please carefully follow the instructions to avoid problems.

For those who want to backup or dump STOCK ROM, I have a separate, more informative article which linked here.

REQUIREMENTS:

• Computer running Windows 
• MTK USB Drivers - Download it here (credits to the developer from XDA for this tool)
• MTK Droid Root and Tools - Get it here
• SP Flash Tool - Get it here (download the recommended or latest version)
• Scatter file of your device – make your own in a very easy way.
• Notepad ++ - for opening scatter file. Download it here.
• MTK Device having EXT4 block type and USB Cable
• How to know if you have a EXT4 block?
• If you have other type of block, I have a separate article for that on how to backup / romdump

Preparations:

Download and install MTK USB Drivers to detect your device even on preloader. Download and extract SP Flash Tool and MTK Droid Root and Tools to any location in your computer. Put your MTK device on USB debugging mode, go to your device Settings – Developer options to enable it. Don’t forget to prepare for the scatter file for your device. Please carefully follow the instructions below, GOODLUCK!

INSTRUCTIONS:

The first thing that we need to do is to open SP Flash Tool application, run it as administrator. From the tool, you’ll see a button Scatter-loading, click it and open the scatter file of your android device.

After opening the scatter file, it will load the regions or the partitions of your android device. If you are curious why it was unchecked, it was because you haven’t backup or dump them yet.

Click on Read Back tab then click ADD once. It will add one row, click N/A on the first row. The tool will ask you where to save the file and what file name, don’t ever change the filename (if it was named as ROM_0 or ROM_1, leave the name as it is). Just go to the folder where you want to save it then click SAVE.

Now, you need to enter the proper Hex values for the Start Address and the Length. How? Find the scatter file which you have made previously and open it using Notepad ++.

What you see next to the partition names are actually the Address of each partitions. If you want to get a partitions individually, then their length values can be found on the block info size that can be found on the MTK Droid Root and Tools. I have a separate article about this linked here.

Since our goal is to back up the whole ROM, we don’t need to get the length value from the block info, instead, use the values from the scatter file itself.

What we do now is to find the Preloader line from the scatter file and copy its value which in my case, it has a value of 0x0. We will put the Preloader’s value to the Start Address field on the SP Flash Tool.

The next step is to find the value to be entered in the Length field, this will be your option. If you want to backup or dump the ROM from Preloader down to the android system only (no user-data), then, select the value of the Cache line on the scatter file and enter it in the Length field (in my case, I have a value of 0x227e8000). Otherwise, if you want to fully backup or dump the whole ROM, select the FAT (NODL_FAT) value, in my case its 0x810e8000, then enter it in the Length field. Review the values you have entered. Click OK.

Since I want to get a complete, whole, full ROM backup / dump, then I’ll choose FAT.

Turn OFF your android phone or tablet. From SP Flash Tool, click Read Back button and immediately connect you switched-OFF android device via USB cable. The tool will detect your device and it will start backing up and dumping your current ROM. It may take 20 minutes to 1 hour depending on the ROM size and the specs of your computer (mine is 1.6 Gb which takes around 30 minutes on a Dual Core processor, be sure your not running any apps aside from this tool so you won't have any interruptions).

After the download is done, you will see the sign like the image below.

Preparing the ROM backup / dump for flashing

Since we are done getting a ROM backup / dump, the next step is to prepare it and make it flashable.

Open MTK Droid Root and Tools application, run it as administrator. From the tool, click the root, backup, recovery tab. You need to disconnect the USB cable from your phone or tablet and turn it ON, when it is powered ON already, connect again your device. The tool will recognize your device and the button To process file ROM_ from Flash Tool will be enabled. Click on that button and select the ROM that we have made earlier which in my case "ROM_0".

Wait for the process to be completed, if you will be asked To automatically create CWM recovery, click YES. Read the status messages and wait for the task to complete.

If the process is done, you will now have your ROM backup or dump at the Backup folder on MTK Droid Root and Tools folder. The backup that we have processed has a filename with ForFlashtoolFromReadback, mine is Neer-A848i_130416_ForFlashtoolFromReadBack_140526-112330. Open that folder and you'll see the partitions are copied and dumped.

Restoring the ROM backup / dump

To restore or flash the ROM dump which we have made, simply open the SP Flash Tool app (run as admin), and click Scatter-loading to load the scatter file from the processed ROM, see the image just right above.

Now, all the regions and partitions are loaded ready for flashing.

DANGER! Don't try to flash the Preloader and the DSP_BL because it will brick your device. Uncheck it.

Disconnect your USB cable and turn OFF your phone or tablet, when it's already OFF, click the Download button from SP Flash Tool and immediately plug-in your switched-off device via USB cable.

Wait for the download to finish and it the image prompt will appear. Disconnect the USB cable and turn on your device, now it will be back to your ROM's previous state.

Done!

Looking for a Flash-able Stock ROM for your Android Phone?

After reading the comments and suggestions from this blog's previous articles, there are a lot of android users who are looking for a flash-able Stock ROM for their device, however, I don't have their kind of device in hand and it's impossible for me to create you one. But hey, I have an idea how will you able to get a Stock ROM for your MTK devices and you, yourself can make it on your own.

There's a lot of MTK smartphone users out there most especially on local-branded smart phone users who have lots of worries on damaging their devices from tweaking it. Why? Lack of developers corresponds the number of development available for the device and we know for the fact that without backup such as ROM or a stock ROM, fixing most android problems such as soft bricks, boot loops, or even hard bricks are too difficult to handle.

Create your own Stock ROM for your MediaTek (MTK) Android Smartphone

Thanks to XDA members who contributed to MTK development, Mediatek smartphone users can now be able to create their own Stock ROM and use it as a backup whenever serious matters occur to their loved devices. With the use of prepacked tools, MTK android users no longer needs much developer for their device because they can be one.

How To Make, Backup and Restore Stock ROM Flashable with SP Flash Tool

On this article, AndroidHow will be guiding you how to make your own Stock ROM, use it as your own backup and restore it through flashing from SP Flash Tool. Why from SP Flash Tool? With SP Flash Tool, even a corrupted, hard-bricked android device can still be revived and fixed which was considered the best method of repairing any android software problem. 

On this tutorial, we will be using SP Flash Tool and MTK Droid Tools to successfully make a flashable Stock ROM for our MediaTek devices.

Requirements:

• Any MTK android device running a Stock ROM. (Note: if your device was rooted, then you'll get a rooted Stock ROM, otherwise if your device does not have root access, you'll get unrooted Stock ROM):

MT6595, MT6592, MT6589, MT6582, MT6577, MT6575, MT6572, or any MT65xx

• Computer with Windows operating system
• USB Cable
• At least 500 Mb free phone storage
• MTK USB Drivers - Download it here (credits to the developer of this tool)
• MTK Droid Root and Tools - Get it here
• SP Flash Tool - Get it here (download the recommended or latest version)
• ClockworkMod (CWM) Recovery
• For rooted device (follow how to flash CWM Recovery for rooted device)
• For unrooted device (follow how to flash CWM Recovery without root)

Preparations (Please Read):

Make sure to prepare all the necessary requirements before proceeding or else, proceeding below is just a waste.

You must have the device in hand with CWM recovery. Download and install the MTK USB Drivers in your computer, it contains 6 other USB drivers needed to detect your device. Also, you must download MTK Droid Tools and SP Flash Tool, extract them to any location or folder you are comfortable of accessing. If all are ready, let's proceed to the instructions.


Instructions:

Creating Stock ROM Backup

First, reboot your MTK android device into CWM Recovery and connect your device to your computer using USB Cable.

From your computer, Open MTK Droid Tools.exe, run it as administrator. Wait for your device to be detected since you have installed the USB drivers. You will notice that color on the lower-left corner of the tool will turn cyan-blue.

On MTK Droid Tools, click on root, backup, recovery tab and click the Backup button to start full stock ROM backup.

Wait for the tool to backup your whole Stock ROM. You can see that the ROM backup will be saved on \MtkDroidTools\backups.

Wait until a prompt will appear asking you "Pack-up the backup" or something like that, press NO, it will just compress the backup you have made and what we need is the uncompressed ROM backup.

Check the status message and check is the task is completed. "Task ended".

It is not done yet, we have to prepare this backup to make it flashable through SP Flash Tool. To do it, click on To prepare blocks for Flash Tool.

A new windows will appear asking fol a .md5 file of the backup. So navigate to the MTK Droid Tools folder where your backup is found. Open the backup that your have created earlier and select the files.md5 click OPEN.

Wait for MTK Droid Tools to copy the files for SP Flash Tool, check the status messages until the copying is complete.

When the tool is done, you have now created the Stock ROM backup of your device!

How To Restore the Stock ROM of your MTK device?

Open SP Flash Tool.exe, run as administrator. Load the scatter file (click scatter-loading) which you have prepared from MTK Droid Tools to be flashable through SP Flash Tool. It can be found in the !Files_to_FlashTool folder of your Stock ROM backup (only if you have just made a backup) or from where you have saved or placed the Stock ROM. But in my case, I saved it on !Files to FlashTool folder.

After you loaded the scatter file, it will look like the image below. All must checked except for Cache and User Data, and most importantly, do not check Preloader and DSP_BL or else you'll brick it. Those checked partitions will be restored, make sure not to touch or move the backup files so that your phone will be restored in your previous stock ROM, also to avoid boot loops and bricking.

As you can see, the Stock ROM partition backups are found on its specific locations under location column. If the locations do not appear (except for CACHE and USRDATA), the backup stock ROM is not in the proper place. To fix that, you must move the files of the stock ROM to the same location where the Scatter file is stored.

To restore or flash the Stock ROM backup, first, turn OFF your MTK android device and remove the USB cable. If your phone was already turned OFF, click Download from SP Flash Tool, a prompt will appear, just click YES. Immediately connect your turned OFF device to your computer via USB Cable.

Wait for the tool to detect your device and restore the Stock ROM that you have made. An alert with a green circle appears after successfully downloading the ROM.

Done! You have successfully restored the stock ROM.
