The MyPhone Brown 1 (also branded as Brown & Proud Brown 1) is a budget smartphone launched in 2017 by MyPhone Philippines. It shipped with Android 7.0 Nougat and was powered by the MediaTek MT6737M chipset, paired with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage. With a compact display and entry-level specs, the device was positioned as an affordable 4G phone. However, like many budget MTK devices of its time, it often suffered from bootloops, random reboots, camera app crashes, and network/IMEI issues after extended use.
This guide provides the official stock firmware for the MyPhone Brown 1. Since this is a MediaTek device, the firmware must be flashed using the SP Flash Tool.

Why Flash This Specific Firmware?
Based on real-world user experiences across community forums, the MyPhone Brown 1 stock firmware is most useful in the following situations:
- Fix bootloop issues: Many users report the device getting stuck on the MyPhone logo after failed OTA updates or corrupted system partitions. A clean reflash restores the phone to a working state.
- Recover from soft/hard brick: Flashing the official package revives devices that no longer boot or are stuck in a charging-only state.
- Resolve camera crashes and app instability: Owners complained of the stock camera app force closing and frequent app crashes. Flashing the original ROM resolves these stability issues.
- Fix charging or battery calibration bugs: Some devices only boot when connected to a charger. Reflashing firmware combined with battery recalibration often resolves this problem.
- Restore IMEI and network connectivity: Users who lost network signal or IMEI after flashing custom ROMs can restore proper modem functionality with this stock firmware.
