      No, u can't update with this update file. It's difference file between ur phone and A369i. And u continue to do this aswell, I sure u have hard-brick. Don't be take aggresive to install directly into ur phone. As ur phone running GB 2.3.6, just take patient and I sure that ur phone will be get ICS first. I just thinking it.

    Hafiz nor
    If you are sure that your device is lenovo a369i then you will need to format the device first with flash tool and after that you can update but it will be better to backup your nvram with mtktools first to recover the imei if they disappear .

    Waqar rizvi
    Beware this update is not for your device it is only for a369i and not for a369 they are almost the same but the ram is 256 on a369 and there is no update above 2.3.6 for your device I think

    First after download, open flash tool then open scatter file then click firware upgrade,

    Secon after progress bar done loading the file plug the usb phone but before plunging put the battery on then push volume down then plug the usb

    Last after done flashing the phone un plug the usb and the battery then put the battery on again next power up the phone.

      If windows shows unknown device, it means that you need to install the drivers.

      Have you installed the MT65xx preloader driver?

      If it still shows unknown device after installing MT65xx preloader driver, you will have to use meta mode to flash the stock firmware.

      Meta mode has a separate driver. You will have to download that driver and install it. I don't remember the exact name of that driver. After you install that driver, start the SP flash tool, load the scatter file and click on the download button. Then remove the battery and plug in the USB cable of your phone while pressing the volume up button. If all goes well, the firmware should start downloading.

      Then try volume down or volume up with power button or volume down with power button. If it doesn't work, then you may need to change your USB cable.

      You have cleared the NVRAM of your phone. If you have a backup of the original NVRAM, restore it using MTKDroidTools. Otherwise, you'll have to change the IMEI manually using MTKDroidTools.
