The Homtom HT70 is a budget rugged-style smartphone built around a MediaTek MT6750T/MT6755 series octa‑core chipset with a large 10000 mAh battery and a 6.0‑inch 18:9 HD+ display. Earlier engineering and internal service builds for this platform also exist on the MT6755 branch, which is what this preserved Android 6.0 firmware targets.
On this type of device, long uptimes, heavy battery use and experimental tweaks (root, custom recovery, pre‑rooted ROMs) can lead to bootloops, soft‑bricks, or failed OTA updates; flashing the matching factory ROM may help bring the phone back to a clean, bootable state.

⚠️ Flashing Risks & Disclaimer

Flashing Requirements
- A Windows PC (Windows 7 or newer recommended) with administrator access.
- MediaTek VCOM / USB drivers installed so the Homtom HT70 is detected in preloader/Download mode.
- SP Flash Tool (a version compatible with MT6755/MT6750T chipsets) extracted on the PC.
- The downloaded Homtom_HT70_MT6755_V01_20161014_6.0.zip fully extracted to a local folder, including the scatter file (usually MT6755_Android_scatter.txt or similar).
- A genuine Homtom HT70 device based on the MT675x platform; confirm the model from the retail box or existing software before proceeding.
- Battery charge ideally above 50% to reduce the risk of shutdown during flashing.
- Full backup of any accessible user data, because SP Flash Tool “Download Only” or especially “Firmware Upgrade” options can wipe system and user partitions.
- A good quality USB cable and direct connection to the PC (avoid unstable hubs during flashing).
How to Flash the Firmware
- Download the Homtom_HT70_MT6755_V01_20161014_6.0.zip archive for the Homtom HT70 and extract it on the PC, then locate the MTK scatter file that matches the MT6755 platform.
- Install MediaTek USB VCOM drivers, open SP Flash Tool, click “Choose” next to the Scatter‑loading field, and select the extracted scatter file so the tool loads the corresponding partitions.
- With the phone powered off, select the appropriate flashing mode (usually “Download Only” for a standard restore), make sure the correct preloader is selected for this HT70 build, then click the Download button in SP Flash Tool.
- Connect the powered‑off device to the PC via USB; the MT6755 preloader should be detected and SP Flash Tool will start writing the firmware, showing a progress bar until a green success checkmark appears.
- Disconnect the cable, then power on the phone; the first boot into this Android 6.0 ROM may take several minutes while system partitions are initialized and caches are rebuilt, so allow extra time before interacting with the interface.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is this Android 6.0 firmware suitable for all Homtom HT70 units?
This ROM is marked “ONLY MT6755”, so it is intended for HT70 hardware built on the MT6755 branch; using it on non‑matching hardware or other Homtom models can lead to a non‑booting device.
Why does this firmware use Android 6.0 when most HT70 units run Android 7.0?
Retail Homtom HT70 phones typically ship with Android 7.0 Nougat, while this package represents an earlier Android 6.0 V01 20161014 software line used for factory or engineering purposes on the MT6755 platform.
Can flashing this ROM upgrade or change the battery performance of the phone?
Flashing stock firmware only reinstalls the software image; it may help with abnormal drain caused by corrupted system files, but it cannot compensate for battery wear or physical battery issues on the 10000 mAh pack.
Will SP Flash Tool erase all user data on the Homtom HT70?
Depending on the chosen mode and partition selection, SP Flash Tool can wipe the data and internal storage partitions; when recovering from serious system damage, a full clean flash that erases user data is often required, so important files should be backed up first.
What happens if the wrong preloader is flashed on this device?
Using an incorrect preloader for the HT70 can prevent the phone from entering normal preloader mode, making it hard to reconnect to SP Flash Tool and sometimes requiring test points or advanced unbrick procedures.
Can this firmware be used to fix bootloops after installing a custom ROM?
If the bootloop is due to incompatible custom system images or a broken /system partition, flashing the full Homtom_HT70_MT6755_V01_20161014_6.0 stock ROM with SP Flash Tool can restore the factory system and may allow the device to boot again, provided the underlying hardware is intact.
Does installing this ROM affect SIM unlock or network band support?
Stock firmware for the HT70 keeps the device within its original band configuration (including LTE bands 1, 3, 7, 8, 20), so flashing this package should not add new hardware bands or remove factory unlock status; SIM‑lock state is usually controlled separately by the vendor or carrier.
