Dear friends!
The time has come, and I post the result: the manual and files for installing the "second" official (virus-free) firmware on the Homtom HT37 phone.
This is firmware HOMTOM-P516-HT37-Android_6.0-V01-20170807, received from the Chinese by our friend
bessarab85 , for which it is possible to push him a plus in the reputation.
The idea of this work belongs to
kuzja25 , for which he - thanks, and of course - plus in reputation.
- Warning: I cannot foresee all the options for which something can go wrong and cause your device to malfunction. Therefore, you should clearly understand that all the actions you perform, you do at your own peril and risk. I do not bear any responsibility for the result of your actions. Also, you should understand that as a result of your actions you lose the warranty of the manufacturer / seller, if it was / is.
- Warning: following this instruction, you should understand that you have NO backup, and if something goes wrong, you will not be able to restore your phone. Therefore, I recommend installing TWRP, make a FULL backup of the entire phone, and then flashing .

How to install a clean stock (factory) firmware without viruses
on phone Homtom HT37
ATTENTION! This manual says what to do to getGUARANTEEDresult.
Please do not arbitrarily do anything beyond what is written in order not to getNOT necessaryresult. Enable usb debugging. Look in the spoiler.
Become a developer + Enable usb debugging
First of all - you need to enable developer mode.
Go to the "Settings" and select the section "About the phone."
Then scroll down and see the “Build Number”, tap on it seven times.
If you did everything correctly and a sufficient number of times “clicked” on the “Assembly number”, the message “You have become a developer!” Should appear.
Again open the “All Settings” tab and now the “For Developers” section will appear above the “About Phone” item.
We go there and turn on the item "Debug USB".
After that, disconnect the phone from the computer if it was connected. Turn off and set aside. Go.
Download the file:
HomtomHT37_kuzja25mod_V01-20170807- 806 mb.
Make sure that you do not have an HT37 folder on your C: \ hard drive, since the entire file structure will be unpacked there. The installation package consists of:
- driver phone Homtom ht37
- twrp installation kit
- SP Flash Tool
- and firmware HOMTOM-P516-HT37-Android_6.0-V01-20170807.
Run the file as administrator:
Wait until the black window of the unpacker disappears, it will look something like this:
After unpacking, the firmware will be extracted, then the folder with TWRP files will be extracted, then the driver will be installed.
and at the end a shortcut will be created for the SP Flash tool on the desktop.
A little note.
I note for fearful viruses: you can open the file as a Rar archive, and make sure that there is nothing dangerous inside, and perform all operations, including unpacking, manually.
If there is a request to install an untested driver, or an unsigned one (I don’t remember exactly, not everybody gets such a window), we also agree and install.
After that, the SP Flash Tool for flashing the phone will be launched.
There is a hint that in this place it is better to close the SP Flash Tool, and reboot the computer "just in case."
After reboot, run the SP Flash Tool shortcut from the desktop, run as administrator.
Run the Flash Tool with administrator rights and right in the settings tick the “DA DL ALL With Check Sum”. We are guided by
this topicif not clear, write.
I'll tell you briefly.
We need to select the scatter-loading file (underlined in red), click
choose (circled in red)
- and choose:
if you want to flash only twrp - we make a double-click in the window on the TWRP folder - and select MT6580_Android_scatter.txt from there
if you want to sew all the firmware - do a double-click in the window on the folder HOMTOM-P516-HT37-Android_6.0-V01-20170807 - and select from there MT6580_Android_scatter.txt
All ticks will stand
right.
In any case, in order not to erase IMEI from the phone, make sure that the Download mode is selected.
If you select the "Format all + Download" mode, respectively, imei will be erased, and you will have to restore it. If we sew TWRP:
chose the right scatter - clicked Download - and the computer starts to wait for the phone to appear on the usb port.
Here we stop, pick up the previously switched off phone and take out the battery.
We take the usb cable and connect the switched off phone to the computer. As soon as the phone is recognized and determined, FlashTool will throw a file into it and a green circle will appear.
Next we boot into TWRP: Reboot->power + keys Increase Volume
and do whatever we want. I recommend to make backup.
And here awaits you
instructions for installing firmware via twrp.
