===== Flashing MTK Android 4.4 and 5.0 devices (Windows 10) =====
==== Install the VCOM drivers ====
  * find 'em on Google 64 bit Windows 10
  * They are unsigned so in ''settings'' --> ''recovery'' choose ''advanced startup''
  * In the advanced startup menu choose option 7 to allow installation of unsigned drivers
  * Install by choosing ''add legacy hardware'' in ''device manager''

==== Copy ROM contents ====
  * Get and save scatter file with ''Mtk_Droid_Tool'' (v2.5.3B used)
  * Use scatter file to calculate size of readback for ''SP_Flash_Tool'' and choose ''Readback''
    * choose for the size to include through the ''USRDATA'' to be safe although you can do less
    * make sure the file starts with the filename ''ROM_'' so ''Mtk_Droid_Tool'' will read it
  * Go back to ''Mtk_Droid_Tool''
    * make sure the device you are copying from is booted and can be read by the Droid Tool so the scatter file parsing is correct
    * parse the ROM
    * return to ''SP_Flash_Tool'' and load the scatter file that ''Mtk_Droid_Tool'' prepared in its ''backups'' directory
    * choose ''Download''
