Disclaimer:

• Once the SP flash tool has detected your device, avoid disconnecting till the task is complete as this might cause the ZenFone 3 Max ZC520TL to go dead.
• If you accidentally selected “Autoformat – Format all”, your device will go dead and you’ll need to flash full ZenFone 3 Max ZC520TL stock ROM to revive the phone.
• Avoid using a random ZenFone 3 Max ZC520TL scatter file (even though its for your chipset) in the Sp flash tool. Just because a scatter file is for your chipset doesn’t mean it contains the same partition info. Formatting with a wrong scatter file could result in more problems than you initially intended to fix.
• SP flash tool was created by MediaTek Inc. so credits to them for the tool.
