Blog: http://blog.hovatek.com Forum: http://forum.hovatek.com Facebook: http://facebook.com/hovatek Mobile app: http://app.hovatek.com 00:22 In this video tutorial, I'll be explaining how to fix the please enter privacy protection password on your MTK 00:30 Android phone. You'll usually get this message when you remove the sim card from your phone and its 00:37 common with the new wave of MTK Android phones. For you to fix this, you need SP Flash tool and the stock 00:46 backup (rom / firmware) for that particular phone model so you don't run into trouble. Before you can use SP 00:57 you need to have installed your VCOM drivers. You can check our website for the tutorial on how to manually 01:05 install VCOM drivers. Once you have your VCOM drivers installed, you can now proceed with sp flash tool 01:10 Now, I took a screenshot of my phone having this same issue. When you boot the phone, all its going to write is 01:19 Please enter privacy protection password to unlock. Factory reset does nothing. Hard reset, Zero! 01:28 just keeps doing the same thing. You're going to be fixing using SP flash tool. After installing VCOM drivers, 01:34 launch SP flash tool as Admin to avoid any permission issues. The first thing you'll want to do is format 01:46 its very important you do not format unless you have the stock backup (rom / firmware) to flash back to 01:51 the phone. You'll understand why I'm saying this in a few minutes. Click on Scatter-loading 01:57 go to where the stock backup is, select the scatter file and then scatter file is loaded 02:04 To format, you click on Format (tab), leave it on Auto format flash and Format whole flash except bootloader 02:10 then you click on Start. Rremove the battery from the phone, slot it back in but don't power on 02:20 (just power off if battery is inbuilt) In this state, connect the phone to the PC via USB cord. 02:37 SP flash tool v5 could be quite slow. Its very important to be patient and give it time to do its thing 02:43 Try not to interrupt else the phone will just go totally dead. After formatting, you'll notice that the phone 02:56 is totally dead. No power. You press the power button, the max you might get is a vibration 03:03 don't worry, its part of the plan. We're now going to flash the stock backup (firmware) to the phone 03:10 If you didn't have the stock backup and you went ahead to format, you're in a fix at this point because 03:17 your phone is totally dead and you have no stock backup to flash. Click on Download (tab), Scatter-loading 03:31 select the scatter file. These are the ones that are ticked. I proceed with flashing. I'll leave it on Download only 03:38 and I click Download. I already created a tutorial on how to use SP flash tool. You might want to see that 03:47 I'm ready to flash these files to my phone. I connect the phone to the PC via USB cord and keep watching 04:08 It might look like nothing is happening and you'll be tempted to close it and restart but be patient 04:16 [Flashing] If you accidentally interrupt SP Flash tool, its nothing to panic about just keep charging the phone 04:32 take out the battery, slot it back in. If the is not removable, just keep charging. Re-install VCOM drivers 04:40 and just keep charging. That could be quite a headache so its very important you just avoid it by not interrupting 04:49 SP flash tool. Once flashing is complete, I'm expecting to get a green OK. I can close that & boot my phone 05:00 Some (very few) phones require you to have a memory card for them to work fine. 05:20 After flashing, if you boot the phone and its still stuck at logo, boot into recovery mode - Wipe data / factory reset 05:35 take our & reinsert the battery (if removable) then boot the phone and everything should work fine again. 05:45 [flashing] . Alright! My flashing is complete. I have the green circle OK. That shows that its complete. So 06:05 the phone should boot up normally and everything back to normal. Basically, that's how you fix the 06:11 Please Enter Privacy Protection Password on your MTK Android phone.
