Description of settingsAcceleration mode phone MCU
Speed up the implementation of the operations on the phone.
Mode (slow)
Some flash memory chips have problems with block scheduling method. In
this case you can work with a flashing mode slower and safer. This mode
requires 3-4 times longer but can work with as many microchips. We
recommend using this method in the case of occurrence of problems with
block scheduling.
Intelligent typing (fast mode)
In this mode the flashing procedure is performed more quickly,
preventing the reprogramming, if the data to be written correspond to
the existing data.
IMEI check authenticity
This option is disabled by default. Lets see if the IMEI number has been changed with the aid of foreign programs.
pinouts
MTK phones must be connected to PC COM port via original data cable or COM
using a COM port emulator.
