Here’s a clear step-by-step guide to flashing a Jio Bharat V3 (SPD/Unisoc‑based keypad phone) using the ASR CPU Flash Tool (also known as SPD Tool):
🔧 Prerequisites
- Windows PC with USB port
- USB data cable
- SPD/Unisoc USB drivers (ensure installed)
- ASR CPU Flashing Tool (aka SPD Flash Tool)
- Jio Bharat V3 firmware zip matching your exact model (e.g., JBV162W1)
📝 Flashing Steps
1. Install Drivers & Tool
- Install SPD (Spreadtrum) USB drivers on your PC.
- Download and unzip both the SPD Flashing Tool and the firmware zip
2. Launch the Flashing Tool
- Navigate into the unzipped folder of the ASR/ SPD Tool.
- Run Aboot.exe (or similar “SPRD” executable) to open the tool window
3. Load the Firmware
- Click Load Packet or Release Package depending on the tool’s UI.
- Select the
.zipfirmware file for your exact model (LF062, KW101, JBV162W1, etc.)
4. Begin Flash Mode
- With the firmware loaded, click Start downloading (or “Download”) button in the tool
- Power off the phone completely.
- Press and hold the “*” star key (boot key varies by model).
- Connect the phone to PC via USB while holding the key.
- Once connected, the tool should detect a port and start flashing automatically
5. Monitor the Flashing
- A progress bar or status indicator will show the flashing process.
- When complete, you’ll typically see “Passed” or “Success”
6. Final Steps
- Click Stop downloading in the tool.
- Disconnect the phone and power it back on.
- The phone should boot up with a fresh firmware, resolving software issues.
✅ Troubleshooting Tips
- Ensure correct model firmware—flashing the wrong one may brick the phone.
- Double-check that drivers installed correctly (Device Manager should show “SPD”/“Qualcomm” or similar on connect).
- Use a good USB cable and port; faulty connections may cause tool to freeze or fail to detect device.
- If flashing hangs at “logo” or boot screen, try a different firmware or re-run from scratch.
