What to Expect After Flashing
Once the flash is complete and you power on your Itel S23 S665LN, here is what is normal and what is not:
- First boot takes 3 to 8 minutes — do not panic or force-reboot. The OS is initialising for the first time.
- Phone may feel warm during first boot — this is normal and will settle after a few minutes.
- All apps will be gone — reinstall them from the Play Store. Your Google account backup will help restore most settings.
- Check your IMEI immediately by dialling *#06#. If it shows “unknown”, do not insert a SIM card yet — follow the IMEI repair guide below.
- Re-add Google accounts carefully — do not add the same account that was on the phone before flashing until the initial setup is fully complete, to avoid triggering FRP on first boot.
- Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and mobile data should all work immediately. If they do not, restart the device once more.
- If the phone boots into a loop after first boot, enter recovery mode and perform a factory reset from there.
Missing IMEI or Corrupt Baseband After Flashing?
If your IMEI is missing or the baseband is messed up after flashing, you might need some special tools like WriteIMEI Tool for Unisoc devices to fix the IMEI. Check the video guide below for details on how to do that.

Common Issues and Solutions
- Device Not Recognized by PC:
- Ensure all required drivers are correctly installed on your computer.
- Try a different USB cable or a different USB port (prefer USB 2.0 ports over USB 3.0).
- Disable antivirus software temporarily — it can block the flash tool drivers.
- Boot Loop After Flashing:
- Boot into recovery mode and perform a factory reset. If recovery mode is also broken, re-flash the firmware from scratch.
- Flashing Errors (Wrong File / Mismatch):
- Double-check that you selected the correct .pac file and firmware version for your exact S665LN device model. A mismatch in build code is the most common cause of flash errors.
- SPD Research Tool “Load Packet Fail” Error:
- Make sure the .pac file is not corrupted. Re-download and re-extract the firmware. Also confirm the SPD Research Tool version matches your device chipset.
- Device Not Entering Download Mode:
- Power off the device completely. Hold Volume Down and connect via USB. If it still does not work, try a different USB cable or USB 2.0 port.
- PAC File Not Loading:
- The .pac file may be corrupted or incompatible with your SPD Research Tool version. Try a different firmware version or update the Research Tool.
