# Itel Firmware Guide: Finding and Flashing Stock ROMs > Learn how to identify the correct Itel stock ROM for your device and use tools like SPD ResearchDownload and SP Flash Tool to reflash your phone. By [Admin](https://www.filefirmware.com/author/admin), Mobile Repairing Technician, 16 years · Updated November 06, 2026 · In [Brand Guides](https://www.filefirmware.com/blog/category/brand-guides) Web page: To reflash or unbrick an Itel device, you must use a stock ROM that matches your specific model and chipset. Depending on the hardware, you will typically use tools like SPD ResearchDownload for Unisoc devices or SP Flash Tool for MediaTek devices to install the firmware. ## Safety Precautions Before Flashing Itel Devices Flashing firmware is a high-risk operation that can permanently damage your device if performed incorrectly. Before starting, follow these safety guidelines: 1. **Verify Model Accuracy:** Always confirm that the firmware matches the exact device model. Installing firmware for a similar but different model can lead to a hard brick. 2. **Back Up Your Data:** Flashing usually erases all user data. Ensure all personal files are backed up to an external source. 3. **Maintain Power:** Keep the battery charged above 50%. Do not disconnect the USB cable or power off the device during the flashing process. 4. **Protect Calibration Data:** * For MediaTek devices, use the "Download Only" option. Using "Format All + Download" will erase the IMEI and NVRAM calibration data. * For SPD/Unisoc devices, leave the "Erase NV" option unticked to avoid wiping the IMEI and calibration data. Security bypasses, including FRP (Google account) removal, carrier-lock circumvention, or IMEI changing, are out of scope for this guide. ## Identifying Your Itel Chipset and Firmware Requirements Choosing the correct firmware requires knowing the chipset inside your phone, as the flashing tool and file format differ by platform. Based on the 600 most recently added files in our library, Itel devices primarily use two platforms: ### Unisoc (Spreadtrum) Unisoc devices typically use `.pac` firmware files. Common chipsets seen in Itel devices include: * SC7731E, SC7731, and SC7715 * SC6531E and SC6531 * UMS9117 ### MediaTek (MTK) MediaTek devices generally require a scatter file to load the firmware into the flashing tool. Common chipsets include: * MT6580, MT6260, and MT6261 * MT6737M The Android version also varies significantly across the Itel lineup, with common versions including Android 8.1, Android 9, Android 7.0, and Android 6.0. Always check your device settings or the box to confirm the version and model before downloading files from [/category/itel](https://www.filefirmware.com/category/itel). ## Common Flashing Tools for Itel Devices The tool you use depends entirely on the chipset identified in the previous step. * **SPD ResearchDownload (or UpgradeDownload):** This is the primary tool for Unisoc (Spreadtrum) devices. It is used to flash `.pac` files. * **SP Flash Tool:** This is the standard utility for MediaTek-based Itel phones. It uses scatter files to map the firmware partitions to the device memory. * **QFIL (Qualcomm QPST):** Used for a small number of Itel devices utilizing Qualcomm chipsets. ## How to Flash Unisoc (Spreadtrum) Firmware Using SPD ResearchDownload For devices using the Unisoc (Spreadtrum) platform, the process involves loading a single package file and connecting the device in a specific boot mode. 1. **Install Drivers:** Install the SPD / Unisoc USB drivers on your computer to ensure the tool can communicate with the phone. 2. **Load Firmware:** Open SPD ResearchDownload and load the `.pac` firmware file. 3. **Configure Settings:** Ensure that the "Erase NV" option is unticked. This prevents the deletion of your IMEI and calibration data. 4. **Initiate Flash:** Press the **Start** button in the tool. 5. **Connect Device:** While the tool is waiting, power off the phone completely. Hold the **Volume Down** (boot key) and connect the device to the computer via USB. 6. **Complete Process:** The tool will begin flashing. Once the process is finished, you can disconnect the device and reboot.

This tells the tool where each image (system, boot, recovery) should be placed. 3. **Select Download Mode:** Set the dropdown menu to **"Download Only"**. Do not use "Format All + Download," as this will erase the NVRAM and IMEI. 4. **Start Flashing:** Click the **Download** button. 5. **Connect Device:** Power off the device and connect it to the PC. Depending on the model, you may need to hold a specific volume button or no button at all. 6. **Finalize:** Wait for the green checkmark to appear, indicating the flash was successful.
