Needed Items
1. Stock rom for phantom A+: Download Here

2. Specific flashtool that works on A+: Download 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. Or download the zipped file directly here

If you don't know how to install drivers with the .exe file, follow the link in this tutorial.

To test if your drivers are working properly, with the phone off, open your computer's 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 doesn't 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. Open the folder where you downloaded the files (everything must be in d same folder)

2. Cut the scatter file out and paste it in another place (anywhere, just make sure its not in the same folder as the other files). The scatter file is the text document starting with MT6589...

3. Open sp flash tools and use the file tab and click Open Scatter Loading File to load DAT scatter file. remember to copy d cwm recovery and overwrite d recovery inside the folder Now it should show you a list of things to flash. check only recovery, uboot and system (that means only these 3 should be ticked, see the images).

5. Now double click on d word recovery and select d cwm recovery you copied there. please make sure everything is in d same folder. Do the same for the uboot and system image u downloaded.

3. Remove the bat3 from the bricked A+. Click download in sp flash tools and plug the bricked f7. flashing will begin and when it ends you should see a green circle. if it doesn't start den remove and plug again. if you try three times and it doesn't flash then you didn't 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.

Tecno M3 Specifications and Features

Tecno is making the news again after a slight break. This time around Tecno have released a low-end smartphone called Tecno M3 for those that are on a tight budget. This phone comes with 8GB internal memory card, USB adapter & charger, earphone and a plastic case. Although Tecno L3 and D3 are almost the same with M3, M3 has a better camera (5mp) with more swift feel especially when browsing.

How To Unbrick Tecno F7 Smartphone

About a week ago, a friend rooted his Tecno Phantom A smartphone. He was so excited about the endless possibilities to customize his device so he kept installing a lot of applications that caught his attention unaware of the dangers some apps can create on rooted smartphones. Finally, he installed an application called Font Changer Lite and that was when it all happened. After installing this app, his phone attempted to reboot and instead of booting normally, the phone froze at the Tecno logo. It wasn’t going passed that state. He couldn’t boot into his phone. Practically, his phone was bricked and had to look for a way to unbrick and use his phone again. If you are presently in the same limbo state as described, please follow the instructions below step by step to fix your device. I recommend reading through first before actually starting the process. Kudos to Seunpayne of Nairaland for uploading his files for download and also giving instructions on the usage.
