Download VCOM drivers and install it manually. Google how to manually install VCOM drivers in PC.

MrLAL:
Found a solution. To those who are curious about how I did it, I mistakenly uninstalled king root app (Cos I felt it could conflict with the superuser app)... So all I did was reinstall kingroot app and my phone is now rooted again and works fine now.

Did u use kingroot to root C8?

Pls do not confused people u advice dat when flashing d stock rom d preloader bin should be uncheck. How will the phone boot on even come on when u did not flash d preloader with the rest files. Pls people in the house when u are flashing ur tecno stock rom make sure u tick all the files in it when u loader d scatter files. for gud result so do not be mislead. There is notin like u will lose ur phone for life like what my broda said above. Even if d phone brick dead finally it can be brought back to life. Nobi mouth is what have Done when my phone brick dead totally.

Well, I believe that's to your own understanding. I have been into the phone flashing business for years now and I rarely tamper with the preloader because I know how important it is. Without the preloader, your phone is completely blank. When flashing and you untick the preloader, it means that that sector won't be flashed and it would still retain the one originally installed by the phone manufacturer. This is helpful in cases where the wrong rom or files are flashed because in that case, your phone still retains ability to communicate with computer. Once that ability is lost, the phone is gone forever. You may have been flashing preloader, it's OK. But the day you will get into a hitch, you will remember this post. Secondly, if you doubt me, flash stock rom into your canon C8 without the preloader ticked and see if your phone won't boot up. Your phone will boot up because the preloader sector is not tampered with during installation of rom when preloader is unticked thereby leaving the factory installed preloader to still function

Bro I quoted you and u a question but u didn't answer me. I said what about when Flashing back the rom one has backup using mtk droid tool to the device, am I supposed not to tick the preloaded option?

it's still the same procedure. Once you open Sp flash tool, click on scatter loading and navigate to your phone backup location of the mtk droid tool, click on the scatter file, and it will load all the files. Untick preloader, then click on download, power off your phone and connect via USB and wait for the process to complete. Note that the actual backup of your phone on mtk droid tool is not the files in the backup folder but the files in the files to flash folder. To understand this better, Google how to prepare mtk droid tool back up for sp flash tool..... Read the instructions from this site. You will also see a place where you were asked not to tick preloader or dsp when flashing

not normal bro. Except if the rom you downloaded already contains the update.. Maybe the manufacturer has already added the update to the rom you downloaded

give me the link to the one you downloaded please

it's the link that was posted here in previous pages. The uploader may have deleted previous uploaded file and uploaded a new file. Just check If your phone now has the following options on the pix I will upload. If it does, then you have latest rom. Notice the auto on pix one and your phone should have H and H+ on top network notification... Then in pix 2, notice the tiny padlock icon at the top right hand corner of every minimised app. That's the icon that prevent any app you want from being wiped whenever you click the cleaner button. If your rom has these, then you are on latest rom. If not, I suggest you get a stronger network and check for update again. Maybe your network is preventing communication with tecno server

I have already posted my procedure above. I didn't format before loading new rom. All I did was to load scatter file, I then unticked preloader. Then I clocked on download at the top of sp flash tool. Then I connected my already off phone and waited until the process complete. Make sure you use the download only option on the drop down menu on sp flash tool

Did u use kingroot to root C8?

Nope I already had kingroot on my phone before rooting. So I guess it conflicted with superuser and that was why I got the hitch.

I pity those that want to sell their Camon C8 because this is the best phone you can every buy at that ridiculous price. Yes even with the Multitasking issues.

Now, there is now a solution with their updates and as if that's not enough, you can now root it. Tell me, what else are you looking for.

As at now, I can confidently say my phone works just like phantom 5 in terms of ram usage as I'm using am excess of 3 gig ram making 4 gig.

I can play high end games, start up several apps without lagging. And coupled with an amazing battery experience.

Now tell me, what else are you looking for? Ingrates kinda ppl.

Can someone please help us to upload a TWRP backup of an updated c8 caused tecno has stopped the update..

Did u mean u tweaked 1gb ram to 4 GB ram?

The phone has a quad core 64bit processor so it can handle High end Games wella due to More "free Ram memory management" used.
When did RAM become a software you can now install..

Phantom 5 Na papa to your C8...

I really don't want to think that you have an issue with clearly understanding my earlier comment, however, I believe that in your bid to hastily criticise me, you didn't take time to understand my first message before jumping to your criticism. I wish to make you understand that there was never a place where I said you will brick your phone if you tick preloader. I said you could. That is quote different from you will in English OK. One is probable while the other is certain. For reference purpose, I will post the message again........


Please I would advise all those who want to flash stock rom to make sure that they untick preloader before flashing. Once you load scatter file and all the options are ticked, untick preloader because it is not necessary to flash preloader. Moreover it is very dangerous if anything goes wrong. If an error occurs while flashing with preloader ticked, you could lose your phone forever because the preloader is what ensures connection with computer even when phone is off. Once anything goes wrong with that sector, it's bye bye forever to your phone.

Exactly

Go and do your research very well before raising objections.

Bro I have a little problem. I want to prepare a rom flashable by sp flash tool. During the rom backup with the mtk Droid tools, it says "task end in ERROR" and when I try to choose file.md5, it was not in the mtk Droid tools rom backup folder. Please what should I do?
