Good afternoon, today we will analyze such a program as Upgrade download, this program is needed for flashing smartphones with a SPREADTRUM processor. The article will give instructions for the firmware and an analysis of possible errors. You can also download the Upgrade download r2.9.9015 program and drivers for your smartphone.
UpgradeDownload is the official software solution from Spreadtrum. This company is a manufacturer of processors for portable devices in the budget and ultra-budget price segment. Such chips are usually installed in phones and smartphones from Explay, Fly, Texet, Ritmix, and other not-so-famous brands. The main and only purpose of the program is to install firmware for devices from the above manufacturers.
UpgradeDownload is a versatile Flash tool suitable for installing both official and "custom" software. It works exclusively with ROMs in PAC (Packet Files) format.
It will set all the necessary settings for flashing your phone, you will only need to specify the firmware file that you want to install on your phone. Before proceeding with the process of updating the software, I recommend that you save all important files and your contact list from it.
Remember! The firmware of any device is associated with certain risks that can lead to a complete loss of gadget performance. While uploading the software to the mobile, ensure the uninterrupted operation of the computer (preferably using a UPS), or use a laptop instead of a computer.
1. Download drivers for your smartphone and ADB drivers just in case.
2. The UpgradeDownload r2.9.9015 program itself or the latest version of Digma_Spreadtrum_Tools_R19 (drivers included)
3. Well, the firmware for your smartphone itself can be found on the w3bsit3-dns.com website.
Must Read:
1. Install the drivers for the smartphone. Unpack the archive there will be two driver options at the beginning, unpack the first part and go to the SciU2S folder and run DPInst.exe from the x86 folder if you have 32-bit Windows or from the x64 folder if you have 64-bit Windows. No, then unpack the second archive installs the same way as the previous one. If, when installing the driver, the system will “swear” that the driver does not have a digital signature, then click “Install anyway”. Also, if you have Windows 8 or 8.1, then first, disable driver digital signature verification.
2. Unpack the archive with the firmware and get the firmware file in .pac format, this is the firmware itself.
3. . Unpack the archive with UpgradeDownload, go to the unpacked BIN folder and find the file UpgradeDownload.exe there, right-click on it and select "Run as administrator".
4. The program window opens, click on the icon of one gear in the upper left corner, the overview window appears, select here our firmware in .pac format, which we unpacked from the archive.
5. After selecting the firmware, the program will “hang” for 10-20 seconds, this is normal especially if the firmware is large, as the firmware will be “loaded”. After that, the name of the firmware will appear at the top of the program. Then just click on the Play button (triangle icon), and a warning window will be displayed, click "Yes", after which the program will go into standby mode.
6. Now take your smartphone in your hands and remove the battery from it, insert it back. Hold the button down and without releasing it, connect the device to the computer via USB or ( volume up and down together). If everything was done correctly, the firmware in UpgradeDownload will start by itself, a couple of seconds after connecting. When the process starts, you can release the down button.
7. We are waiting for the completion of the firmware, this process cannot be interrupted, it is very dangerous. After the firmware is completed, Passed will appear on the UpgradeDownload screen, disconnect your smartphone from the computer and close the program. We take out the battery again, put it back, turn on the smartphone, and wait until it boots up (the first boot after the firmware can take quite a long time), and we rejoice.

Understanding how the software works are not difficult. The graphical shell of the application is made on a simple and understandable level. First of all, you need to connect the device with a USB cable to a laptop computer. The only condition at this stage is to use only a USB headset as a connection. The program does not support any other methods. If the PC has the appropriate drivers, then the system will recognize the device.
New versions of Windows operating systems (seven and above) can automatically install the missing driver package. On older versions, you will have to independently search for and install the necessary versions of “firewood” for the system so that it can recognize and interact with the device there. After the device has been identified, you need to turn off the smartphone, and remove the battery and SIM card. After that, you can turn on the firmware program. UpgradeDownload will require you to specify the location of the firmware. Specify the path to the PAC file. The program will start downloading and the process of flashing the processor will begin. You must wait until the indicator is completely filled. As soon as the status gets "Finished", turn off the device. All is ready.
