Cherry Mobile Flare 3 stock rom / firmware to unbrick your phone



Update: Updated the file,because of reports that the file is incomplete.

Hi,

This firmware is for Cherry Mobile Flare 3, you cannot use this firmware in Cherry Mobile Flare S3 because it is a different phone.

The firmware has CWM recovery. If you want the stock recovery just replace recovery.img with FACTORY_NONmodified_recovery.img in Flashtool.

The firmware is not rooted. If you want to root this phone you can use vRoot to root it.


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 3
VCOM Driver -->VCOM Manual
Alternative Driver --> AutoInstaller
SPFlashTool --> LatestVersion 

"Use WinRar or 7zip to extract the firmware"
"Extract the files to your desired folder"
"If you encounter error in flashtool, use different version of it."


"I suggest to use 32bit Windows OS for compatibility of the driver"



Installing Driver with AutoInstaller

First try the Alternative Driver, which is the AutoInstaller. Just open the install.exe then it will automatically install the driver. To fully check if the driver is correctly installed in your computer. 

Follow these steps:
  1. Turn off your phone (always powered off is a must)
  2. Press and hold volume up or down, or you can simple press the two button.
  3. Insert your USB cable without releasing the VOLUME button(s).
  4. In your computer, it must detect your phone and it will install the MTK Preloader or Mediatek USB VCOM driver.
  5. Repeat 1 to 4 if it does not detect your phone.
  6. If MTK Preloader/Mediatek USB VCOM Driver is installed you are good to go in flashing your phone ^_^
