Flash Tool Drivers

Official firmware
Unofficial firmware
Android 4.4 - 5.1 firmware will not work on phones with FocalTech touchscreen driver. Replacing the touchscreen does not help, the bootloader on phones with FT is different (the sensors from MSG were not installed on the A2860 or A2010, otherwise everything works). Firmware from b30, b31 do not approach A40, other sensors, and bootloader.

FAQ (Question - Answer)
Q: How does the firmware relate to the battery?
A: Yet there are times when the phone does not fall asleep, but I think it is certain programs, but in general, the firmware saves the battery.

Q: How many are gaining in Antutu?
A: The phone on this firmware is gaining about 23,000 points.

Q: What's better? Official or this firmware?
A: It seems to me that there is nothing better than stock. On the official firmware, everything works, smartly, and somehow more pleasantly.

Q: My Wi-Fi access point is not working.
A: Try changing the network name and password from the access point.

Q: I found a bug about which nothing is written here.
A: First of all, make sure that you have installed the firmware correctly, before installing, flush through the drain, after that, install the latest version of the TeamWin Recovery Project, perform a full system clean (Data, Dalvik / ART Cache, Internal Storage, System). If you have done this all, and the bug has not disappeared, then write me in QMS or in this topic.

Q: I flew IMEI.
A: Restore backup IMEI (if you do not have it, you can download the one that is in this topic)

Instructions on how to delete Google account.

We charge the phone 100%
We turn on the phone and choose in the Wi-Fi network, there is already additionally and in any free columns we write the text and choose to copy.
Choose "enable hints" and then hold down the home button and go out now, where we write Chrome and download the application Test + DPC.apk
After that, run the application we go through all the points and encrypt the phone, the phone will reboot.
But he does not want to let him go to the desktop. We also launch Google Now and write "settings" and in them already in the "About phone" 10 times click on the "build number", then go to the "developer menu" and there you turn on the "Factory unlock" and then produce through the Reset settings.


Thank you all, spent 2 hours but did.

The instruction is not completely complete. When you press dowland you have to hold down the volume minus and connect the phone. And check the driver.

* thestrelok228 , I tried to put your Lineage on my phone (Lenovo a2010), in the boot I did not touch anything at all. In the firmware, only the script was changed, since different mount points. Everything works, except for the front-end, only the settings for English. Our phones are similar, only your kernel is 3.18.19, and we have 3.10.65. I thought maybe with your kernel I'll fix the front-end on my firmware, it did not work out.
