Zopo ZP562 M5i Firmware Flash File Download [Stock Rom]

The Zopo ZP562 M5i (SC7731) was an entry-level smartphone focused on essential functionality. However, according to widespread user reports on forums like NeedROM and GSM-Hosting, a significant number of users encountered a complete “Dead Boot” or persistent bootloop, where the device becomes unresponsive with a black screen or gets stuck on the brand logo, failing to start up. This issue, often triggered by a failed system update or underlying software corruption, pointed to a severely corrupted boot or system partition. Flashing this official stock firmware via the SPD Tool is the definitive solution to rewrite the core phone software and resuscitate a bricked device.

Why Flash This Specific Firmware?

• Revive a Dead or Bricked Phone: As confirmed by user testimonials on GSM forums, this firmware is the primary method to recover a Zopo ZP562 M5i that shows a black screen, no charging light, or is completely unresponsive, by forcing a low-level flash.
• Fix Bootloop on Zopo Logo: Community reports indicate that software corruption often causes the device to boot indefinitely without reaching the home screen. Flashing this stock ROM replaces the corrupted system files, breaking the bootloop cycle.
• Remove Forgotten Pattern/Password Lock: If you are locked out of your device, flashing the firmware will format the userdata partition, effectively removing any security locks and allowing you to set up the phone again.
• Restore Stock Stability and Performance: Over time, system modifications or malware can cause lag and crashes. A clean firmware flash returns the phone to its original, stable factory state.

Some of the Bug / Firmware Fixes

• Firmware Build 20170518: Provides a stable base image to repair the core boot and system partitions, directly addressing the widespread “dead boot” and bootloop issues reported by ZP562 M5i users.
• Includes system stability improvements to prevent the random crashes that can lead to a soft brick.
• General security patches for the Android 6.0 platform as of the build date.

Crucial Prerequisites Before Flashing

• Backup All Data (If Possible): The flashing process will completely wipe your phone’s internal memory. If the device is bootlooping, attempt a backup from recovery mode.
• Charge Your Phone: If the device shows any sign of life, ensure the battery is charged to at least 50% to avoid shutdowns during the process. For dead phones, charging for a few hours is recommended.
• Install SPD USB Drivers: You must install the appropriate Spreadtrum (UNISOC) USB Drivers on your Windows PC for the tool to detect your device.
• Download SPD Upgrade Tool: Ensure you have the correct version of the SPD Research Tool (Upgrade Tool) installed on your computer.
