Augh okay after trying to figure this out myself for far too long, I need to ask for help! I’m following NeutronScott’s guide, and I’m stuck at the part where I’m supposed to get the phone to reboot into fastboot. The version of MTK Meta he links is V52, but when I download that and try to run it, it refuses to run because it’s outdated and sends me to the developer’s FB page to download the latest version from his page instead. I don’t know if the software now being V103 and having had the name changed to “Android Utility” changes anything (on his FB page the dev says he renamed it to reflect the fact that his software’s uses have expanded.) Anyway, I plug the phone in unpowered as instructed and do “Reboot Fastboot Mode” under the MediaTek -> BootROM tabs. It does “Waiting for mtk usb device”… until it times out after a few minutes. It would appear that it doesn't see the phone. If I do “Reboot Fastboot Mode” while the phone is on, the phone reboots but reboots in normal mode. Same thing when I run “adb reboot-bootloader” in the command window. I don't know what I'm missing here!
I've been able to use ADB commands to disable browser, email, and music, and disabling distracting software has been a great first step, but I really want to ADD software too. But I can’t until I get the phone to fastboot. I’m stuck on this step. Any help or suggestions would be very appreciated!!!
