How to Flash Itel Phones ROM with Research Download Tool
Generally any electronic device could get bad, the problem might
be caused by either its hardware or the software that powers the device, on
that note Itel Phones, Tablets and other products are not left out, they could
develop minor or major error that affect the performance of the device, for
instance your
phone may suddenly hang for no reason or worse still gets
bricked. If you are currently or have ever been in such a situation then this
tutorial is for you.
I’m not going to discuss how to troubleshoot your phone hardware,
I shall be specifically software inclined.
Itel phones are mostly powered by spreadtrum Chips (Processor) ,
though recently Itel had introduce MediaTek (another type of processor
make) on some of its line of device like the Itel P51 [Learn how to flashmediaTek device]. the kind of file used to flash a particular phone make
depends on the Chip that powers it. Spreadtrum which is the most dominant
Chipset used by Itel is flashed with a compressed file that has a .pac
extension. There are free and paid tools out there that could write the file on
your phone ROM , Research Download tool and miracle box are example of such
tool the latter is not free while research download tool could be downloaded by
a simple google search..
