- IMEI numbers noted (dial *#06#)
- All Google accounts removed from the device

- Battery charged to at least 50%
- All required drivers installed on your PC: VCOM Drivers, Tecno USB Drivers

Only proceed once every item above is confirmed.
How to Install Firmware on Tecno Camon 18 P CH7n
We’ll be using the SP Flash Tool for this. For older phones, try SP Flash Tool v5.1924 as it works best. Can’t find the Secure Boot Download Agent (DA) file? Then try flashing with MTK Client. Follow these step-by-step instructions. For recent phones download the latest version of SP Flash Tool for Windows or SP Flash Tool for Linux. Also, you can find the complete step-by-step SP Flash Tool flashing guide.
- Download and Extract:
- Download the appropriate firmware package.
- Extract the ZIP file to a dedicated folder on your computer.
- Install the listed Drivers on this page:
- Confirm the drivers listed above were installed on your PC.
- Load the Firmware File:
- Click on the “Scatter-loading” button. Navigate to the folder where you extracted the firmware and select the “scatter.txt” file.
- Connect Your Device:
- Power off your phone.
- Connect your device to your PC using the USB cable. The tool should automatically detect your device.
- Start Flashing:
- Click the “Download” button to initiate the flashing process.
- Do not disconnect your device until the process is complete.
- Wait and Reboot:
- Once the flashing process is complete, disconnect your device.
- Power on your device to boot into the new firmware.
What to Expect After Flashing
Once the flash is complete and you power on your Tecno Camon 18 P CH7n, 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 you encounter a missing IMEI or a corrupt baseband after flashing, follow these steps:
- Check Drivers: Make sure you have the Mediatek CDC Driver and MediaTek (MTK) drivers installed properly.
- Use an IMEI Repair Tool: Tools such as SN Write Tool or Maui Meta for MediaTek can help restore your original IMEI. Learn more about Write Tool or Maui Meta.
- Run the Repair Tool:
- Connect your device to your computer.
- Enter your original IMEI numbers for both SIM slots.
- Click “Start” to initiate the repair process.
- Restart Your Device: Once completed, reboot your phone and verify your IMEI by dialing *#06#.

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 scatter file and firmware version for your exact CH7n device model. A mismatch in build code is the most common cause of flash errors.
- SP Flash Tool “Download DA Fail” Error:
- Reinstall the VCOM drivers, restart your PC, and try again. Also try using SP Flash Tool v5.1924 instead of the latest version.
- BROM Error / Error 8038:
- This indicates the device is not entering BROM mode. Turn the phone off completely, remove the battery if possible, reconnect, and try again. Some devices require holding Volume Down while plugging in.
- Auth File / Secure Boot Error:
- Newer MediaTek devices require an authentication (DA) file. If SP Flash Tool asks for one and you do not have it, switch to MTK Client instead.
