Step 2: Extract the files
Extract all three files to a folder on your computer. The SP+Flash+Tools+&+Drivers+for+Nikel_by+MrRaines.rar file will contain the SP Flash Tool and drivers.
Step 3: Run the SP Flash Tool
Run the flash_tool.exe file from the extracted folder with administrator privileges.
Step 4: Select the Download Agent
In the SP Flash Tool, select the "Download" tab and click on the "Download Agent" button. Choose the MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin file from the extracted folder.
Step 5: Extract the global ROM
Extract the nikel_global_images_V8.0.4.0.(중략).tgz file to a new folder. This will create a new file called nikel_global_images_V8.0.4.0.(중략).tar. Extract this file as well, and you will find an "images" folder inside.
Step 6: Apply the custom ROM
Copy the cust.img file from the extracted folder to the "images" folder. This will apply the custom global ROM to your Hongmi Note 4.
Step 7: Reboot the phone
Reboot your Hongmi Note 4 and enter recovery mode by pressing the Power button and the Volume-down button simultaneously.
Step 8: Flash the ROM
Select the "Scatter-loading" option in the SP Flash Tool and choose the MT6797_Android_scatter.txt file from the "images" folder. Then, select the "Download Only" option and click on the "Download" button to start the flashing process.
Step 9: Wait for the process to complete
Wait for the flashing process to complete. You will see a progress bar at the bottom of the SP Flash Tool window. Once the process is complete, your Hongmi Note 4 will restart automatically.
Step 10: Verify the installation
After the phone has restarted, you can verify that the global ROM has been installed successfully by checking the device's language settings. If it is now set to Korean, then the installation was successful!
That's it! With these steps, you should be able to install the global ROM on your Hongmi Note 4. Remember to always use caution when flashing a new ROM, as it may void your warranty or cause data loss.
