Swipe Ace Strike 4G Firmware Flash File Download [Stock Rom]

The Swipe Ace Strike 4G is a budget 4G VoLTE smartphone based on the Spreadtrum SC9832A chipset and running Android 6.0 Marshmallow. A widespread problem documented in multiple YouTube repair videos and tech forums is the device getting bricked and stuck on the Swipe logo, often after a simple factory reset attempt. This soft-brick condition, which prevents the operating system from loading, is a clear sign of software corruption. Reinstalling the official V5.0 stock firmware is the definitive solution to unbrick the device by completely restoring the original operating system and fixing the corrupted boot files.

Why Flash This Specific Firmware?

• Resolve the “Hang on Logo” Bootloop: This is the primary reason to flash this firmware. It provides a clean, full installation of the Android OS, fixing the corrupted system files that prevent the phone from booting past the Swipe logo.
• Restore VoLTE and Network Connectivity: If your phone is facing issues like “No Service,” an invalid IMEI number, or problems with 4G VoLTE calls, flashing the stock ROM will restore the original modem and baseband partitions, resolving all network-related glitches.
• Fix Random Reboots and System Crashes: A corrupt software environment can cause the phone to restart unexpectedly or apps to crash frequently. A full firmware flash cleans the system, providing a stable and reliable software experience.
• Remove Viruses and Screen Locks: This firmware can be used to completely remove malware, adware, or forgotten screen locks (PIN, Pattern, Password), giving you a fresh and secure device.

Some of the Bug / Firmware Fixes

• Firmware V5.0 (June 20, 2017): This is a crucial stability release for Android 6.0 that directly addresses the bootloader corruption that leads to the common “hang on logo” issue after a factory reset.
• Includes an updated modem binary to enhance 4G VoLTE signal stability and improve call connection reliability.
• Corrects power management bugs, leading to more accurate battery level reporting and resolving issues of sudden power-offs.
• Reinstalls and re-calibrates the camera drivers, fixing cases where the camera application would fail to initialize or would freeze during operation.

Crucial Prerequisites Before Flashing

• Backup All Data: The flashing process will completely wipe your phone’s internal memory.
• Charge Your Phone: Ensure the battery is charged to at least 60% to avoid shutdowns during the process.
• Install Spreadtrum Drivers: You must install the Spreadtrum SCI USB drivers on your Windows PC for the tool to detect your phone.
• Download the Flashing Tool: You will need the SPD Upgrade Tool.
• Use a Quality USB Cable: For a stable and successful flash, use a reliable USB cable.
