Swipe Elite 2 Firmware Flash File Download [Stock Rom]

The Swipe Elite 2 is a budget smartphone powered by the MediaTek MT6582M chipset, which was released with Android 5.1 Lollipop. A particularly disruptive issue reported by users on various Indian tech forums for this device was the recurring “Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped” error. This critical bug would prevent users from making or receiving calls, rendering the phone’s primary function useless. A simple factory reset often failed to fix the problem permanently. Flashing the official stock firmware is the definitive solution, as it reinstalls the core telephony services and system files, completely resolving this software conflict.

Why Flash This Specific Firmware?

• Fix “com.android.phone has stopped” Error: This is the most crucial reason. Flashing the stock ROM completely restores the phone’s communication framework, permanently fixing the error that prevents calling and messaging.
• Resolve Bootloops and “Hang on Logo”: If your Swipe Elite 2 is stuck on the boot screen and refuses to start, a full firmware flash using SP Flash Tool is the standard procedure to unbrick the device.
• Improve System Performance: Due to its 1GB of RAM, the phone becomes very slow over time. A clean installation of the firmware removes all junk files and system clutter, restoring the phone’s original speed and responsiveness.
• Restore IMEI and Network Signal: If you have a null or invalid IMEI after a failed software modification, flashing the stock ROM can restore the original NVRAM and modem files, fixing all network-related issues.

Some of the Bug / Firmware Fixes

• Firmware V0.17 (Jan 22, 2016): This is an updated build that includes important stability patches specifically aimed at resolving the `com.android.phone` process crashes and reducing random system reboots.
• Both firmware versions restore the original camera libraries, fixing the “cannot connect to camera” error that can occur due to software corruption.
• Corrects memory management leaks that lead to severe system lag and application freezes after prolonged use.
• Reinstalls the correct baseband firmware, ensuring stable network connectivity and resolving issues with intermittent signal loss.

Crucial Prerequisites Before Flashing

• Backup All Data: Flashing will completely erase all personal data from your phone’s internal storage.
• Charge Your Phone: Ensure your battery is charged to at least 60% to avoid shutdowns during the process.
• Install MediaTek Drivers: You must install MTK VCOM USB drivers on your Windows PC.
• Download the Flashing Tool: You will need the SP Flash Tool.
• Use a Quality USB Cable: For a stable connection, use a reliable micro USB cable.

How to Flash the Firmware

Flashing the scatter file firmware onto your Swipe Elite 2 requires the SP Flash Tool. Follow these steps:

1. Download and extract your chosen firmware zip file (V0.17 is recommended) on your computer.
2. Launch the SP Flash Tool application.
3. Click on the “Scatter-loading File” button and navigate to the extracted firmware folder to select the MT6582_Android_scatter.txt file.
4. Ensure the flashing mode is set to “Download Only”. Avoid using “Format All + Download” as it can erase your IMEI.
5. Click the green “Download” button at the top of the tool.
6. Power off your Swipe Elite 2 completely.
7. Connect the phone to your computer via USB cable. The tool should detect it automatically and begin the flashing process. (If it is not detected, try connecting while holding the Volume Down button).
8. Wait for the process to complete, which will be confirmed with a large green checkmark pop-up.
9. Disconnect the phone and power it on. The first boot can take 5 to 10 minutes.
