[quads id=2]How to Format a Single Partition of Mobicel Shift:
1. The steps below explain how to format a single partition of a Mobicel Shift using the SP flash tool.
2. Extract the content of the SP flash tool zip file and Launch SP flash tool.

4. In the windows that appear next, navigate to and select the Mobicel Shift scatter file.
5. You should now be taken back to the SP flash tool window, click on the Format tab.
6. Tick the checkbox beside “Manual format flash”
7. Open windows explorer and navigate to the location of the scatter file you selected earlier on then open it using Notepad++
8. Scroll down the contents of the scatter file till you get to the partition you wish to format [in my case, I’m trying to format FRP partition]
9. Input the values of Linear_start addr and partition_size into SP flash tool then Click on Start
Code:Linear_start addr = Begin Address
partition_size = Format Length

Disclaimer:
- Once the SP flash tool has detected your device, avoid disconnecting till the task is complete as this might cause the Mobicel Shift to go dead.
- If you accidentally selected “Autoformat – Format all”, your device will go dead and you’ll need to flash full Mobicel Shift stock ROM to revive the phone.
- Avoid using a random Mobicel Shift 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.
