Verdict

Should you follow this guide?

• Yes, if your phone is in a bootloop, you have the exact correct firmware for your region (X6851/X6851B), and you are comfortable disabling driver signature enforcement on Windows.
• No, if you have never used SP Flash Tool before, or if your phone is completely dark with no USB detection.

If you attempt it: Do not click “Format All.” Load the scatter file, uncheck “userdata,” and only flash preloader, boot, vbmeta, super, and vendor. Anything else invites disaster.
