Compatibility & Bootloader Notes

Flashing stock firmware through SP Flash Tool in MediaTek BROM mode does not require an unlocked bootloader. However, because the MT6761 chipset uses Secure Boot SLA authentication, you must execute an MTK Auth Bypass tool before SP Flash Tool will communicate with the device.

Preparation checklist for Tecno Spark Go 2020 / Spark 6 Go (KE5)
  • Verify your board revision (H6123ABC vs H6123D) from Settings > About phone before downloading.
  • Install MediaTek USB VCOM and LibUSB filter drivers on your PC.
  • Launch an MTK Auth Bypass utility to disable BROM SLA security.
  • Ensure battery charge is at least 30% before initiating flashing.
  • Back up all personal files, as factory flashing erases user storage.
