How to flash ROM on Mediatek Tablets

In this tutorial you will learn how to flash a new Firmware on and not only:
- Samsung N9106
- Samsung N9106 - HD
- Jlinksz D-101BA
- D101
- Rover Pad 10.1 Tesla
- Moze
- Lenovo A101
- Lenovo S6000D
- Samsung & Lenovo T950s
- Samsung & Lenovo i960

Researching i found that all traces lead to this manufacturer Jlinksz, so they are producing this tablets and some intermediaries just print the Samsung/Lenovo or other brand logo on it and organizes the selling.
Tablets are based on different circuit boards, the
firmwares are made specifically for them to include the drivers. Here are some circuit board versions:
- D101_MB_V2.0
- D101_MB_V4.0
- B906_MB_V1.1

What if i will install the wrong ROM on my tablet?
If you'll install a ROM designed for a different main board on your tablet, there are 4 things which may happen:
1. Flash tool will show an error
2. The tablet will turn on but some functions may not work, like camera, Wi-Fi or other component. Because the ROM doesn't have drivers specifically for you hardware.
3. The display will flash one time, but the tablet wouldn't turn on.
4. It will stuck on the logo, with a warning stating "Boot error"

Will this brake my Device completely?
The Mediatek processors manufactured after 2015 are not affected by installing a different ROM, this means they are not transforming into Bricks.

What board version has my Tablet
To flash a new ROM on your tablet, first you'll need to know what version is the main board installed on it. Although the Firmware wouldn't install the drivers you need and some Features may not work. The only way to find out what board version has your device is to remove the screws and open it.



How to flash a new ROM
1. Make sure you installed the USB driver for your Tablet
Driver for Android i960 or T950s - Download

2. If the tablet is still alive, (turns on and works) try making a ROM backup. Because you never know what may happen. Note that many people wrote that sometimes the backup doesn't fit back on the device. So, if your tablet works, try finding a solution to the problem you have rather then flashing a new ROM.

3. Install one of the following Flash tools:
- Wiselink tool - Download 1 - Download 2
(to run it change your computer's date to 2014 then login using the off-line method with the .key file inside of the Archive)
- JLink tool - Download
(to run it change your computer's date to 2014 then login using the off-line method with the .key file inside of the Archive)
- SP Flash Tool - Download
Note: There are 2 ROM versions, with a .txt scatter file and with a .sca scatter file. Wiselink & Jslink reads those with .sca, SP Flash Tool reads those with .txt


4. Download and unzip the Firmware

6. Press the Download button
