Cherry Mobile Flare S3 stock rom firmware to unbrick your phone
Hi,
This is my personal back up of Cherry Mobile Flare S3 ROM, the firmware or ROM is already Rooted with CWM installed when you are going to flash your phone. The version of this firmwre is v1.03. When flashing use the latest version of SPFlashtool.
Although some of my tutorial are from version SPFlashtool version 3.xxx, the procedure is still the same because the SPFlashtool that you are going to use is version 5.xxxx
You can fix the following issue in your phone:
1. Bootloop
2. Damaged System UI
3. TP Upgrade only
4. Dead phone but it is detected in computer
5. Remove Gmail Account / Password / Pattern Lock (Alternative Way)
"DOWNLOAD THESE FILES"
Firmware Here -->Cherry Mobile Flare S3 v1.03
"Use WinRar or 7zip to extract the firmware"
"Extract the files to your desired folder" See picture below"
"If you encounter error in flashtool, use different version of it."
Installing Driver
First try the Alternative Driver, which is the AutoInstaller. Just open the install.bat then it will automatically install the driver. Then proceed to flashing. If it did not work then proceed with VCOM driver that you had downloaded. Then install it manually follow the guide below.
Reference Video using Driver Auto Installer (watch in HD)
When installing it manually your phone must be turned off, then connect it to your computer/laptop while pressing VOLUME UP or VOLUME DOWN. This will detect and look for the driver.
1. This is the first time that you will connect your phone and it will search for the correct driver.
3. If the driver is successfully installed MediaTek DA USB VCOM will appear in the New Hardware Wizard.

To restore download MTKDroidTools version 2.5.3 After you extract the file. Open the green robot, you must enable the usb debugging in your phone.

Wait for it to finish, then Click in IMEI/NVRAM, input 15 number in each box. Then click REPLACE. Then click Reboot or you can manually turn off your phone. Then turn your phone on again. You can see that you have fully restored your IMEI.
