Connect MediaTek device in BROM Mode

BROM Mode

BROM (Boot ROM) mode is a low-level firmware mode found in MediaTek (MTK) devices. It enables direct communication between the device and a computer, bypassing higher-level protections. This mode is essential for tasks like unbricking devices, bypassing authentication, or flashing firmware using tools such as SP Flash Tool.

Entering BROM Mode

The method to enter BROM mode can vary depending on the device model.

STEP 1: Power off your device

STEP 2: Remove battery if removable (mostly Older devices, newer devices have non-removable battery)

STEP 3: Try these button combinations (device specific)

  • Volume Up Only: Hold the Volume Up button and connect the USB cable.
  • Volume Down Only: Hold the Volume Down button and connect the USB cable.
  • Both Volume Up + Volume Down: Hold both buttons simultaneously and connect the device to the PC via USB
  • Volume Up + Power: Hold both buttons together while connecting to the PC
  • Volume Down + Power: Hold both buttons together while connecting to the PC
  • Volume Up + Volume Down + Power: Hold all three buttons simultaneously and connect the USB cable.
REPEAT .... step 123 until device appears in device manager

Still can't see your device ☹️

Then your device manufacturer does not allow BROM connections directly using key combinations. Then Test Point method can be used. This involves shorting specific points on the device's motherboard to force BROM mode.

Legally Restore and Repair IMEI on MediaTek Devices

Why Restore IMEI? The International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) is a unique 15-digit number that identifies your mobile device. A null, invalid, or corrupted IMEI can cause issues like inability to connect to cellular networks, make calls, or use Wi-Fi/Bluetooth. This often happens after flashing custom ROMs, firmware, or due to NVRAM corruption. Restoring the original IMEI is crucial for legal compliance and device functionality. ⚠️ Disclaimer: This tutorial is for educational purposes only. The author is not responsible for any damage to your device or legal issues arising from improper use. Changing an IMEI to anything other than the original is illegal in many countries and should be avoided. Always use the device's original IMEI, found on the phone's packaging, back panel, or by dialing *#06# (if still accessible). Prerequisites Windows PC ...
