Swipe Konnect Power Firmware Flash File Download [Stock Rom]

The Swipe Konnect Power was a budget smartphone launched in India with one major highlight: a large 3000mAh battery promising extended usage. However, despite its marketing focus on endurance, a significant number of users on e-commerce sites and Indian tech forums reported a frustrating and ironic issue. The most common complaint was severe idle battery drain, with the phone losing as much as 30-40% of its charge overnight. This issue pointed directly to software optimization problems. This official V1.9 stock firmware allows you to perform a clean installation, restoring the original power management profiles and fixing the software bugs responsible for this abnormal battery consumption.

Why Flash This Specific Firmware?

• Fix Severe Idle Battery Drain: This is the most critical reason. By reinstalling the original, optimized system files, this firmware resolves the software bugs (wakelocks) that keep the CPU active and drain the battery even when the screen is off.
• Solve Charging Issues: If your Konnect Power is charging very slowly, not charging to 100%, or showing an incorrect battery percentage, a firmware flash can fix these software-related charging logic errors.
• Resolve “Hang on Logo” Bootloops: A common problem for this device where it gets stuck on the Swipe logo and won’t boot. Flashing this `.pac` file is the standard and most effective solution to fix this soft brick.
• Improve System Performance: Eliminates the general lag, hanging, and app crashes that build up over time due to data corruption by restoring the phone to a clean, factory state.

Some of the Bug / Firmware Fixes

• Firmware V1.9 (July 21, 2017): A stability build containing crucial power management patches to prevent background processes from draining the battery, directly addressing the overnight drain complaints.
• Restores the original kernel and system UI, fixing the software corruption that causes the device to freeze or hang on the boot logo.
• Corrects charging algorithm bugs, leading to more stable charging speeds and accurate battery level reporting.
• Reinstalls modem files, improving network stability and fixing intermittent signal drops.

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.
• 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.
